3 +X-master-at: 044239b0a1fbdcccefafe1dab5f9c21e5a2a9150

6 +What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2009, #03; Thu, 20)

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 +After the 1.6.5 cycle, the next release will be 1.7.0, and we will push

15 +out the planned "push safety" change. 1.7.0 would be a good time to

16 +introduce "justifiable" changes that are not strictly backward compatible.

17 +

18 +During 1.6.5 cycle, 'next' will hold topics meant for 1.6.5 and 1.7.0.

19 +

20 +--------------------------------------------------

37 + - git stat: the beginning

38 + (this branch uses jc/shortstatus.)

39 +

80 +[Graduated to "master"]

81 +

82 +* bc/maint-am-email (Thu Aug 6 20:08:13 2009 -0500) 2 commits

83 + + git-am: print fair error message when format detection fails

84 + + am: allow individual e-mail files as input

85 +

86 +It seems that the "not mbox but a single piece of e-mail" format was

87 +something many people relied on. Hopefully this can also be sent

88 +to 'maint'.

89 +

90 +* js/maint-cover-letter-non-ascii (Mon Aug 10 18:22:22 2009 +0200) 2 commits

102 +

103 +--------------------------------------------------

104 +[Stalled]

105 +

106 +* cc/sequencer-rebase-i (2009-08-05) 8 commits.

107 + - rebase -i: use "git sequencer--helper --reset-hard"

108 + - sequencer: add "--reset-hard" option to "git sequencer--helper"

109 + - sequencer: add comments about reset_almost_hard()

110 + - sequencer: add "reset_almost_hard()" and related functions

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

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

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

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

115 +

116 +More sequencer updates. I didn't look at the latest round that had a

117 +handful "oops, fix that earlier botch" patches, expecting a cleaner

118 +reroll (which hasn't happened yet).

119 +

120 +* pb/tracking (2009-07-16) 7 commits.

121 + . branch.c: if remote is not config'd for branch, don't try delete push config

122 + . branch, checkout: introduce autosetuppush

123 + . move deletion of merge configuration to branch.c

124 + . remote: add per-remote autosetupmerge and autosetuprebase configuration

125 + . introduce a struct tracking_config

126 + . branch: install_branch_config and struct tracking refactoring

127 + . config: allow false and true values for branch.autosetuprebase

128 +

129 +Has been ejected from 'pu' for some time, expecting a reroll.

130 +

131 +* db/vcs-helper (2009-08-09) 17 commits

132 + - Allow helpers to request marks for fast-import

133 + - Allow helpers to report in "list" command that the ref is unchanged

134 + - Add support for "import" helper command

135 + - transport-helper_init(): fix a memory leak in error path

136 + - Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs

137 + - Allow programs to not depend on remotes having urls

138 + - Allow fetch to modify refs

139 + - Use a function to determine whether a remote is valid

140 + - Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers

141 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-07 at f3533ba)

142 + + Makefile: install hardlinks for git-remote-<scheme> supported by libcurl if possible

143 + + Makefile: do not link three copies of git-remote-* programs

144 + + Makefile: git-http-fetch does not need expat

145 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-06 at 15da79d)

146 + + http-fetch: Fix Makefile dependancies

147 + + Add transport native helper executables to .gitignore

148 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-05 at 33d491e)

149 + + git-http-fetch: not a builtin

150 + + Use an external program to implement fetching with curl

151 + + Add support for external programs for handling native fetches

152 + (this branch is used by jh/cvs-helper.)

153 +

154 +There was a discussion that suggests that the use of colon ':' before vcs

155 +helper name needs to be corrected. Nothing happened since.

156 +

157 +* je/send-email-no-subject (2009-08-05) 1 commit

158 + - send-email: confirm on empty mail subjects

159 +

160 +This seems to break t9001. Near the tip of 'pu' I have a iffy

161 +workaround.

162 +

163 +--------------------------------------------------

164 +[Cooking]

165 +

166 +* ld/p4 (2009-07-30) 1 commit

167 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-14 at 36d310d)

168 + + git-p4: stream from perforce to speed up clones

169 +

170 +Should graduate to 'master' soon.

171 +

172 +* mr/gitweb-xz (2009-08-06) 3 commits

184 + - Add simple selftests of git-remote-cvs functionality

185 + - git-remote-cvs: Remote helper program for CVS repositories

186 + - 2/2: Add Python support library for CVS remote helper

187 + - 1/2: Add Python support library for CVS remote helper

188 + - Basic build infrastructure for Python scripts

189 + (this branch uses db/vcs-helper.)

190 +

191 +Builds on db/vcs-helper. The testing of Python part seemed to be

192 +still fragile even with the latest fix on one of my boches with an

193 +earlier round already installed, but I didn't look very deeply before

194 +removing the older installation.

195 +

196 +* jc/verify-pack-stat (2009-08-07) 1 commit

197 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-10 at f80d0e9)

208 +floated around that I didn't pick up, waiting for them to finalize.

209 +

210 +* nd/sparse (2009-08-11) 8 commits

211 + . --sparse for porcelains

212 + . Support sparse checkout in unpack_trees() and read-tree

214 + . dir.c: export excluded_1() and add_excludes_from_file_1()

215 + . excluded_1(): support exclude "directories" in index

216 + . Read .gitignore from index if it is assume-unchanged

217 + . Avoid writing to buffer in add_excludes_from_file_1()

218 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-20 at ea167d7)

219 + + Prevent diff machinery from examining assume-unchanged entries on worktree

220 +

221 +The first one was an independent fix; the rest will be discarded and

222 +replaced with the "return of no-checkout" series.

223 +

224 +* bc/mailsplit-cr-at-eol (2009-08-04) 4 commits

225 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-06 at 6bc7c5c)

227 + + builtin-mailsplit.c: remove read_line_with_nul() since it is no longer used

228 + + builtin-mailinfo,builtin-mailsplit: use strbufs

229 + + strbuf: add new function strbuf_getwholeline()

230 +

231 +Will merge.

232 +

233 +* gb/apply-ignore-whitespace (2009-08-04) 1 commit

236 +

237 +Will merge.

238 +

239 +* cc/replace (2009-05-27) 14 commits.

259 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-02 at 9c08420)

260 + + diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK

261 + + diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace" options

262 +

263 +For 1.7.0. This changes exit code from "git diff --ignore-whitespace" and

264 +friends when there is no actual output. It is a backward incompatible

265 +change, but we could argue that it is a bugfix.

266 +

267 +* jc/1.7.0-push-safety (2009-02-09) 2 commits

268 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-02 at 38b82fe)

287 + + wt-status: move many global settings to wt_status structure

288 + + commit: --dry-run

289 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-06 at fe8cb94)

290 + + status: show worktree status of conflicted paths separately

291 + + wt-status.c: rework the way changes to the index and work tree are summarized

292 + + diff-index: keep the original index intact

293 + + diff-index: report unmerged new entries

294 + (this branch is used by jc/1.7.0-status.)

295 +

296 +Will cook for a bit more and then merge.

297 +

298 +* jh/notes (2009-07-29) 8 commits.

299 + - t3302-notes-index-expensive: Speed up create_repo()

303 + - Add an expensive test for git-notes

304 + - Speed up git notes lookup

305 + - Add a script to edit/inspect notes

306 + - Introduce commit notes

307 +

308 +The cvs-helper series depends on this one.

319 + + Add a small patch-mode testing library

320 + + git-apply--interactive: Refactor patch mode code

321 + (this branch uses js/stash-dwim.)

322 +

323 +There was a discussion on better DWIMmery to (1) forbid "git stash save

324 +--anything-with-dash" and (2) redirect with any option "git stash --opt"

325 +to "git stash save --opt", to keep it flexible and safe at the same time.

326 +I think it is a sane thing to do.

327 +

328 +* js/stash-dwim (2009-07-27) 1 commit.

329 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-16 at 67896c4)

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

335 +

336 +* jc/mailinfo-remove-brackets (2009-07-15) 1 commit.
