6 +What's cooking in git.git (Jul 2009, #01; Mon, 06)

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 branches, but I am still

12 +holding onto them.

13 +

14 +The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics

15 +meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.

16 +

17 +It has been relatively quiet for the past few weeks. The 'next' branch is

18 +getting quite thin, and it would be a good time to declare -rc0. I'll do

19 +so by my Wednesday.

20 +

21 +----------------------------------------------------------------

22 +[New Topics]

23 +

24 +* ld/push-porcelain-output-format (Mon Jun 22 21:10:01 2009 -0400) 1 commit

25 + + add --porcelain option to git-push

26 +

27 +* js/run-command-updates (Sat Jul 4 21:26:43 2009 +0200) 7 commits

28 + - receive-pack: remove unnecessary run_status report

29 + - run_command: report failure to execute the program, but optionally

30 + don't

31 + - run_command: encode deadly signal number in the return value

32 + - run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error

33 + codes

34 + - run_command: return exit code as positive value

35 + - MinGW: simplify waitpid() emulation macros

36 + - MinGW: truncate exit()'s argument to lowest 8 bits

37 +

38 +A few replacement/squash updates came in before it hit 'pu'; this should

39 +be the latest version.

40 +

41 +* cc/sequencer-rebase-i (Fri Jun 26 23:08:46 2009 +0200) 4 commits

42 + - rebase -i: use "git sequencer--helper --make-patch"

43 + - sequencer: free memory used in "make_patch" function

44 + - sequencer: add "make_patch" function to save a patch

45 + - sequencer: add "builtin-sequencer--helper.c"

46 +

47 +* ae/maint-mailinfo-rm-only-one-patch-marker (Mon Jun 29 11:55:51 2009 +0200) 1 commit

48 + - mailinfo: Remove only one set of square brackets

49 +

50 +The change needed to the test vector shows the extent of the damage this

51 +change may cause in the real world. A handcrafted "Subject: [area] [PATCH] title"

52 +will be turned into "[PATCH] title".

53 +

54 +* rs/grep-p (Thu Jul 2 00:06:34 2009 +0200) 7 commits

55 + + grep: simplify -p output

56 + + grep -p: support user defined regular expressions

57 + + grep: add option -p/--show-function

58 + + grep: handle pre context lines on demand

59 + + grep: print context hunk marks between files

60 + + grep: move context hunk mark handling into show_line()

61 + + userdiff: add xdiff_clear_find_func()

62 +

63 +----------------------------------------------------------------

64 +[Graduated to "master"]

65 +

66 +* cf/maint-remote-uploadpack-useconfig-fix (Thu Jun 25 17:21:35 2009 -0400) 1 commit

67 + + git-remote: fix missing .uploadpack usage for show command

68 +

69 +* sb/show-ref-parse-options (Sat Jun 20 21:40:46 2009 -0700) 1 commit

70 + + show-ref: migrate to parse-options

71 +

72 +* ne/maint-1.6.0-diff-tree-t-r-show-directory (Sat Jun 13 17:06:09 2009 -0700) 1 commit

73 + + diff-tree -r -t: include added/removed directories in the output

74 +

75 +This changes the output from "diff-tree -r -t"; it brings more consistency

76 +to it, but it is a change and could break scripts.

77 +

78 +* uk/rev-parse-parse-opt (Sun Jun 14 01:58:43 2009 +0200) 2 commits

79 + + parse-opt: make PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION available to git rev-

80 + parse

81 + + more tests for git rev-parse --parse-opt

82 +

83 +* js/daemon-log (Sun Jun 21 23:16:09 2009 +0200) 3 commits

84 + + receive-pack: do not send error details to the client

85 + + upload-pack: squelch progress indicator if client cannot see it

86 + + daemon: send stderr of service programs to the syslog

87 +

88 +* sb/quiet-porcelains (Wed Jun 17 18:07:37 2009 -0700) 6 commits

89 + + stash: teach quiet option

90 + + am, rebase: teach quiet option

91 + + submodule, repack: migrate to git-sh-setup's say()

92 + + git-sh-setup: introduce say() for quiet options

93 + + am: suppress apply errors when using 3-way

94 + + t4150: test applying with a newline in subject

95 +

96 +* jk/use-our-regexp (Fri Jun 19 10:10:39 2009 -0500) 3 commits

97 + + Makefile: Solaris needs HAVE_ALLOCA_H for alloca()

98 + + Makefile: use compat regex on Solaris

99 + + Makefile: refactor regex compat support

100 +

101 +* cb/maint-fetch-refspec-wo-dst (Wed Jun 17 15:38:36 2009 +0200) 1 commit

102 + - fetch: do not create ref from empty name

103 +

104 +* cc/bisect (Sat Jun 13 13:11:02 2009 +0200) 2 commits

105 + + Documentation: remove warning saying that "git bisect skip" may

106 + slow bisection

107 + + bisect: use a PRNG with a bias when skipping away from untestable

108 + commits

109 +

110 +* tr/die_errno (Sat Jun 27 17:58:47 2009 +0200) 4 commits

111 + - Use die_errno() instead of die() when checking syscalls

112 + - Convert existing die(..., strerror(errno)) to die_errno()

113 + - die_errno(): double % in strerror() output just in case

114 + - Introduce die_errno() that appends strerror(errno) to die()

115 +

116 +I didn't check the individual conversion from die() to die_errno()

117 +in this latest round; comments?

118 +

119 +* gb/am-foreign (Wed May 27 11:25:19 2009 +0200) 4 commits

120 + - git-am: refactor 'cleaning up and aborting'

121 + - git-am foreign patch support: StGIT support

122 + - git-am foreign patch support: autodetect some patch formats

123 + - git-am foreign patch support: introduce patch_format

124 +

125 +Will be in 'next' shortly.

126 +

127 +----------------------------------------------------------------

128 +[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]

129 +

130 +* ml/http (Wed May 27 23:16:03 2009 -0400) 2 commits

131 + - http.c: add http.sslCertPasswordProtected option

132 + - http.c: prompt for SSL client certificate password

133 +

134 +I've rewritten these two to (1) move the #ifdef out of the main codepath,

135 +and (2) use configuration/environment to make the misfeature of always

136 +asking for a passphrase even a key/cert is unencrypted optional. I tried

137 +to be careful but extra sets of eyeballs would be nice to check the result.

138 +

139 +Nobody seems to be jumping up-and-down asking for this or helping to push

140 +this forward. Perhaps it's time to drop it?

141 +

142 +* jh/notes (Sat May 16 13:44:17 2009 +0200) 5 commits

143 + - Teach "-m <msg>" and "-F <file>" to "git notes edit"

144 + - Add an expensive test for git-notes

145 + - Speed up git notes lookup

146 + - Add a script to edit/inspect notes

147 + - Introduce commit notes

148 +

149 +Dscho asked about the performance implications of this; I do not think I

150 +saw any progress on that yet...

151 +

152 +* lt/read-directory (Fri May 15 12:01:29 2009 -0700) 3 commits

153 + - Add initial support for pathname conversion to UTF-8

154 + - read_directory(): infrastructure for pathname character set

155 + conversion

156 + - Add 'fill_directory()' helper function for directory traversal

157 +

158 +Before adding the real "conversion", this needs a few real fixups, I

159 +think. For example there is one hardcoded array that is used without

160 +bounds check.

161 +

162 +* ar/maint-1.6.2-merge-recursive-d-f (Mon May 11 21:25:36 2009 +0200) 2 commits

163 + - Fix for a merge where a branch has an F->D transition

164 + - Add a reminder test case for a merge with F/D transition

165 +

166 +Although the reported breakage is covered with the patch, Alex feels the

167 +solution unsatisfactory. Cleaning up D/F conflict handling in merge-recursive

168 +may be long overdue but seems to be a hard problem.

169 +

170 +* ps/blame (Thu Mar 12 21:30:03 2009 +1100) 1 commit

171 + - blame.c: start libifying the blame infrastructure

172 +

173 +A few minor point remains in this initial one.

174 +

175 +* jc/log-tz (Tue Mar 3 00:45:37 2009 -0800) 1 commit

176 + - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected

177 +

178 +The one I posted had a few corner-case bugs that was caught with the test

179 +suite; this one has them fixed. People did not like the UI so it is kept

180 +out of 'next'

181 +

182 +* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit

183 + - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree

184 +

185 +This is a feature waiting for a user.

186 +

187 +We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am

188 +using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes

189 +rules for that final path". Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the

190 +data in the canonical repository representation.

191 +

192 +rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse. It reads the three

193 +files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work

194 +tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical

195 +representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical

196 +representation and writes the resulting mess out. It needs to be fixed to

197 +read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the

198 +canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write

199 +the results out after convert_to_working_tree(). It also needs to write

200 +in binary mode as well.

201 +

202 +* db/foreign-scm (Tue Mar 24 23:04:12 2009 -0400) 3 commits

203 + - Add option for using a foreign VCS

204 + - Document details of transport function APIs

205 + - Allow late reporting of fetched hashes

206 +

207 +* hv/cvsps-tests (Sun Apr 5 01:40:50 2009 -0700) 8 commits

208 + - t/t9600: remove exit after test_done

209 + - cvsimport: extend testcase about patchset order to contain

210 + branches

211 + - cvsimport: add test illustrating a bug in cvsps

212 + - Add a test of "git cvsimport"'s handling of tags and branches

213 + - Add some tests of git-cvsimport's handling of vendor branches

214 + - Test contents of entire cvsimported "master" tree contents

215 + - Use CVS's -f option if available (ignore user's ~/.cvsrc file)

216 + - Start a library for cvsimport-related tests

217 +

219 +[Actively cooking]

220 +

221 +* gb/gitweb-avatar (Tue Jun 30 00:00:54 2009 +0200) 7 commits

222 + - gitweb: add empty alt text to avatar img

223 + - gitweb: picon avatar provider

224 + - gitweb: gravatar url cache

225 + - gitweb: (gr)avatar support

226 + - gitweb: use git_print_authorship_rows in 'tag' view too

227 + - gitweb: uniform author info for commit and commitdiff

228 + - gitweb: refactor author name insertion

229 +

230 +This should be the latest one posted to the list, and I think it is

231 +reasonable, and Jakub seemed to concur. Will be in 'next'

232 +

233 +* en/fast-export (Thu Jun 25 22:48:33 2009 -0600) 7 commits

234 + - fast-export: Document the fact that git-rev-list arguments are

235 + accepted

236 + - Add new fast-export testcases

237 + - fast-export: Add a --tag-of-filtered-object option for newly

238 + dangling tags

239 + - fast-export: Do parent rewriting to avoid dropping relevant

240 + commits

241 + - fast-export: Make sure we show actual ref names instead of

242 + "(null)"

243 + - fast-export: Omit tags that tag trees

244 + - fast-export: Set revs.topo_order before calling setup_revisions

248 +* jc/diff-whitespace-only-status (Sat May 23 01:15:35 2009 -0700) 2 commits

249 + - diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK

250 + - diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace" options

251 +

252 +I am not sure if it should wait for a major version bump but this is a

253 +good semantics change. Perhaps merge to 'next' soonish, but I am

254 +undecided. Comments?

255 +

256 +For the following three series, I have not managed to convince myself if

257 +these changes have real-world needs.

268 + - Documentation: add documentation for "git replace"

269 + - Add git-replace to .gitignore

270 + - builtin-replace: use "usage_msg_opt" to give better error messages

271 + - parse-options: add new function "usage_msg_opt"

272 + - builtin-replace: teach "git replace" to actually replace

273 + - Add new "git replace" command

274 + - environment: add global variable to disable replacement

275 + - mktag: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1

276 + - replace_object: add a test case

277 + - object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1

278 + - sha1_file: add a "read_sha1_file_repl" function

279 + - replace_object: add mechanism to replace objects found in

280 + "refs/replace/"

281 + - refs: add a "for_each_replace_ref" function

292 +

293 +These are for 1.7.0, but the messages when they trigger together may need

294 +to be rethought.
