6 +What's cooking in git.git (Feb 2009, #06; Wed, 18)
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 +The master branch is slightly past 1.6.2-rc1.
18 +
19 +As an experiment, 'next' and 'pu' stay open during this release freeze;
20 +new topics are accepted as time permits, but people are much more strongly
21 +encouraged to find issues on what is already on 'master', and patches to
22 +fix them always takes precedence over what is still on 'next' and will
23 +never graduate until 1.6.2 final.
24 +
25 +----------------------------------------------------------------
26 +[New Topics]
27 +
28 +* fc/parseopt-config (Tue Feb 17 15:52:56 2009 +0200) 11 commits
29 + . config: Don't allow extra arguments for -e or -l
30 + . config: Disallow multiple variable types
31 + . config: Disallow multiple config file locations
32 + . config: Disallow --getcolor* and other actions used together
33 + . config: Use parseopt
34 + . config: Reorganize get_color*
35 + . config: Trivial rename in preparation for parseopt
36 + . ??? config: Make git_config() more flexible
37 + . config: Cleanup editor action
38 + . config: style clean-ups
39 + - config: Add new option to open an editor.
40 +
41 +Builds on top of "config -e" change.
42 +
43 +* mv/parseopt-ls-files (Tue Feb 17 15:27:11 2009 +0100) 2 commits
44 + - parse-opt: migrate builtin-ls-files.
45 + - Turn the flags in struct dir_struct into a single variable
46 +
47 +----------------------------------------------------------------
48 +[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
49 +
50 +* ns/stash-keep (Thu Feb 12 06:25:14 2009 +0900) 1 commit
51 + - stash: --keep option just saves
52 +
53 +Do we want to keep this one?
54 +
55 +* lh/submodule-tree-traversal (Sun Jan 25 01:52:06 2009 +0100) 1 commit
56 + - archive.c: add support for --submodules[=(all|checkedout)]
57 +
58 +Discussion stalled on the submodule selection criteria.
59 +
60 +* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
61 + + blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental
62 + format
63 + + git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
64 +
65 +This gives Porcelains (like gitweb) the information on the commit _before_
66 +the one that the final blame is laid on, which should save them one
67 +rev-parse to dig further. The line number in the "previous" information
68 +may need refining, and sanity checking code for reference counting may
69 +need to be resurrected before this can move forward.
70 +
71 +I thought recent tig discussion may blow new life into it, but is this
72 +unneeded? If so I'd rather revert it (or discard after 1.6.2).
73 +
74 +* db/foreign-scm (Sun Jan 11 15:12:10 2009 -0500) 3 commits
75 + - Support fetching from foreign VCSes
76 + - Add specification of git-vcs helpers
77 + - Add "vcs" config option in remotes
78 +
79 +The "spec" did not seem quite well cooked yet, but in the longer term I
80 +think something like this to allow interoperating with other SCMs as if
81 +the other end is a native git repository is a very worthy goal.
82 +
83 +* cc/replace (Mon Feb 2 06:13:06 2009 +0100) 11 commits
84 + - builtin-replace: use "usage_msg_opt" to give better error messages
85 + - parse-options: add new function "usage_msg_opt"
86 + - builtin-replace: teach "git replace" to actually replace
87 + - Add new "git replace" command
88 + - environment: add global variable to disable replacement
89 + - mktag: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
90 + - replace_object: add a test case
91 + - object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
92 + - sha1_file: add a "read_sha1_file_repl" function
93 + - replace_object: add mechanism to replace objects found in
94 + "refs/replace/"
95 + - refs: add a "for_each_replace_ref" function
96 +
97 +I think the code is much cleaner than the first round, but I am not
98 +convinced it is doing the right thing in the connectivity traverser.
99 +Independent review sorely needed.
100 +
101 +* sc/gitweb-category (Fri Dec 12 00:45:12 2008 +0100) 3 commits
102 + - gitweb: Optional grouping of projects by category
103 + - gitweb: Split git_project_list_body in two functions
104 + - gitweb: Modularized git_get_project_description to be more generic
105 +
106 +Design discussion between Jakub and Sebastien seems to have stalled, but
107 +Jakub seems to be taking this over.
108 +
109 +* jc/fsck (Fri Jan 30 02:33:47 2009 -0800) 4 commits
110 + - fsck: three levels of validation
111 + - verify-pack: add --quick
112 + - verify_pack(): allow a quicker verification for a pack with
113 + version 2 idx
114 + - pack-check.c: minor formatting fix to match coding style
115 +
116 +J6t has a good point that if this had any value then medium level should
117 +replace the default. I am tempted to actually dropping this as a failed
118 +experiment.
119 +
120 +----------------------------------------------------------------
121 +[Reverted]
122 +
123 +* mh/unify-color (Fri Jan 23 01:25:23 2009 -0800) 3 commits
124 + ? Revert previous two commits
125 + ? move the color variables to color.c
126 + ? handle color.ui at a central place
127 +
128 +This broke git-format-patch badly.
129 +
130 +* js/rebase-error-a-bit-more-verbose (Sun Feb 8 21:22:18 2009 -0800) 2 commits
131 + ? Revert "rebase: explain why when the HEAD could not be detached"
132 + ? rebase: explain why when the HEAD could not be detached
133 +
134 +This turned out to be unnecessary.
135 +
136 +* rs/maint-1.6.0-windows-ceiling (Sat Feb 7 12:40:40 2009 -0800) 2 commits
137 + ? Revert "fix t1504 on Windows"
138 + ? fix t1504 on Windows
139 +
140 +I'm giving a fresh start to J6t's series which contains this.
141 +
142 +* lh/reverted-submodule-tree-traversal (Sun Jan 25 18:39:55 2009 -0800) 4 commits
143 + ? Revert round #1 of the series
144 + ? builtin-ls-tree: enable traversal of submodules
145 + ? archive.c: enable traversal of submodules
146 + ? tree.c: add support for traversal of submodules
147 +
148 +I'm giving a fresh start to Lars's second iteration.
149 +

167 + + imap.preformattedHTML to tell Thunderbird to send non-flowed text
168 +
169 +The patch text should be identical to Jeremy's "Virtual Patch", except
170 +that the configuration variable was renamed per list discussion.

172 +* jw/format-patch-attach (Thu Feb 12 09:51:55 2009 -0600) 1 commit

230 +

254 +
255 +Earlier part was merged to master and then reverted there. I probably

257 +
258 +* fc/config-editor (Sat Feb 7 23:53:00 2009 +0200) 1 commit
259 + - config: Add new option to open an editor.
260 +
261 +* js/remote-set-head (Sat Feb 14 05:30:30 2009 -0500) 5 commits
262 + - builtin-remote: better handling of multiple remote HEADs
263 + - builtin-remote: add set-head subcommand

272 + - add basic http clone/fetch tests
273 + - test scripts: refactor start_httpd helper
274 +
275 +Builds on top of Jay Soffian's js/remote-set-head topic. How well do
276 +these two work in practice in the real world? Success stories?
277 +
278 +----------------------------------------------------------------
279 +[On Hold]
280 +
281 +* jc/deny-delete-current-1.7.0 (Mon Feb 9 00:19:46 2009 -0800) 1 commit
282 + - receive-pack: default receive.denyDeleteCurrent to refuse
283 +
284 +* jc/refuse-push-to-current-1.7.0 (Wed Feb 11 02:28:03 2009 -0800) 1 commit
285 + - Refuse updating the current branch in a non-bare repository via
286 + push
287 +
288 +This is for 1.7.0.
289 +
290 +* jc/commit-assume-also-during-merge (Thu Jan 22 22:21:49 2009 -0800) 3 commits
291 + - git commit: pathspec without -i/-o implies -i semantics during a
292 + merge
293 + - builtin-commit: shorten eye-sore overlong lines
294 + - Add "partial commit" tests during a conflicted merge
295 +
296 +This was only meant as a weatherballoon to help facilitate discussion.
297 +
298 +* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit
299 + - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree
300 +
301 +This is a feature waiting for a user. I do not need it in 1.6.2
302 +
303 +We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am
304 +using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes
305 +rules for that final path". Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the
306 +data in the canonical repository representation.
307 +
308 +rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse. It reads the three
309 +files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work
310 +tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical
311 +representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical
312 +representation and writes the resulting mess out. It needs to be fixed to
313 +read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the
314 +canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write
315 +the results out after convert_to_working_tree(). It also needs to write
316 +in binary mode as well.
