6 +What's cooking in git.git (May 2009, #03; Mon, 25)
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.

20 +* sb/opt-filename (Sat May 23 11:53:13 2009 -0700) 5 commits
21 + - parse-opts: add OPT_FILENAME and transition builtins
22 + - parse-opts: prepare for OPT_FILENAME

28 + + commit: -F overrides -t
29 +
30 +There are quite a few new callers to parse_options() in 'next' and 'pu'
31 +that are more likely to graduate before this series, so for now I merged a
32 +few of them and adjusted the commit "prepare for OPT_FILENAME". I tried
33 +to be careful but extra sets of eyeballs would be helpful.

248 + - Add initial support for pathname conversion to UTF-8
249 + - read_directory(): infrastructure for pathname character set
250 + conversion
251 + - Add 'fill_directory()' helper function for directory traversal
252 +
253 +Before adding the real "conversion", this needs a few real fixups, I
254 +think. For example there is one hardcoded array that is used without
255 +bounds check.

258 + - Fix for a merge where a branch has an F->D transition
259 + - Add a reminder test case for a merge with F/D transition
260 +
261 +Although the reported breakage is covered with the patch, Alex feels the
262 +solution unsatisfactory. Cleaning up D/F conflict handling in merge-recursive
263 +may be long overdue but seems to be a hard problem.

271 +* jc/log-tz (Tue Mar 3 00:45:37 2009 -0800) 1 commit
272 + - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected
273 +
274 +The one I posted had a few corner-case bugs that was caught with the test
275 +suite; this one has them fixed. People did not like the UI so it is kept
276 +out of 'next'
277 +
278 +* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit
279 + - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree
280 +
281 +This is a feature waiting for a user.
282 +
283 +We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am
284 +using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes
285 +rules for that final path". Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the
286 +data in the canonical repository representation.
287 +
288 +rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse. It reads the three
289 +files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work
290 +tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical
291 +representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical
292 +representation and writes the resulting mess out. It needs to be fixed to
293 +read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the
294 +canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write
295 +the results out after convert_to_working_tree(). It also needs to write
296 +in binary mode as well.
