6 +What's cooking in git.git (Dec 2009, #06; Thu, 31)
7 +--------------------------------------------------
8 +
9 +Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
10 +only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The ones
11 +marked with '.' do not appear in any of the integration branches, but I am
12 +still holding onto them.
13 +
14 +The tip of 'next' will soon be rebuilt on top of the current 'master'.

124 +
125 +I didn't like the existing documentation for "add -u" myself (especially
126 +because I wrote the initial version) and this neatly fix it as well.
127 +

143 + - t3404: Use test_commit to set up test repository
144 + (this branch is used by ns/rebase-auto-squash.)
145 +
146 +Initial round of "fixup" action that is similar to "squash" action in
147 +"rebase -i" that excludes the commit log message from follow-up commits
148 +when composing the log message for the updated one. Expected is a further
149 +improvement to skip opening the editor if a pick is followed only by
150 +"fixup" and no "squash".
151 +
152 +* ns/rebase-auto-squash (2009-12-08) 2 commits
153 + - fixup! rebase -i --autosquash
154 + - rebase -i --autosquash: auto-squash commits

164 + - Notes API: get_commit_notes() -> format_note() + remove the commit restriction
165 + - Minor style fixes to notes.c

167 + + Add more testcases to test fast-import of notes
168 + + Rename t9301 to t9350, to make room for more fast-import tests
169 + + fast-import: Proper notes tree manipulation
170 +
171 +* fc/opt-quiet-gc-reset (2009-12-02) 1 commit
172 + - General --quiet improvements
173 +
174 +* mv/commit-date (2009-12-03) 2 commits
175 + - Document date formats accepted by parse_date()

190 + - Make "subtree" part more orthogonal to the rest of merge-recursive.
191 + - Teach git-pull to pass -X<option> to git-merge
192 + - git merge -X<option>
193 + - git-merge-file --ours, --theirs
194 +
195 +"git pull" patch needs sq-then-eval fix to protect it from $IFS
196 +but otherwise seemed good.
197 +
198 +* mo/bin-wrappers (2009-12-02) 3 commits
199 + - INSTALL: document a simpler way to run uninstalled builds
200 + - run test suite without dashed git-commands in PATH

247 +--------------------------------------------------
248 +[Ejected]
249 +
250 +* il/exec-error-report (2009-12-30) 2 commits
251 + . Improve transport helper exec failure reporting
252 + . Report exec errors from run-command
253 +
254 +Freezes "git log" or anything that uses pager; J6t made quite a many good
255 +suggestions. Expecting more rounds of reroll.
256 +
257 +* je/send-email-no-subject (2009-08-05) 1 commit
258 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-10-11 at 1b99c56)
259 + + send-email: confirm on empty mail subjects
260 +
261 +* jc/fix-tree-walk (2009-10-22) 8 commits
262 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-10-22 at 10c0c8f)
263 + + Revert failed attempt since 353c5ee
264 + + read-tree --debug-unpack
265 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-10-11 at 0b058e2)
266 + + unpack-trees.c: look ahead in the index
267 + + unpack-trees.c: prepare for looking ahead in the index
268 + + Aggressive three-way merge: fix D/F case
269 + + traverse_trees(): handle D/F conflict case sanely
270 + + more D/F conflict tests
271 + + tests: move convenience regexp to match object names to test-lib.sh
272 +
273 +This has some stupid bugs and reverted from 'next' until I can fix it, but
274 +the "temporarily" turned out to be very loooong.
275 +
276 +* jc/grep-full-tree (2009-11-24) 1 commit
277 + . grep: --full-tree
278 +
279 +The interaction with this option and pathspecs need to be worked out
280 +better. I _think_ "grep --full-tree -e pattern -- '*.h'" should find from
281 +all the header files in the tree, for example.
