6 +What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2009, #01; Sat, 05)

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 +I will probably do 1.6.5-rc0 this weekend, leaving some topics still

21 +cooking in 'next'.

22 +

85 +[Cooking]

121 +

122 +* pk/fast-import-dirs (2009-09-03) 1 commit

123 + - Add script for importing bits-and-pieces to Git.

124 +

125 +With an updated key-value quoting rules, which I haven't carefully looked

126 +at. Aren't there standard libraries to do this sort of thing without us

127 +having to hand-roll these logic every time, I have to wonder...

131 + - gitweb: Create links leading to 'blame_incremental' using JavaScript

173 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-30 at b6455c2)

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

175 +

176 +The existing tests to covers the positive case (i.e. as long as the user

177 +says "yes" to the "do you really want to send this message that lacks

178 +subject", the message is sent) of this feature, but the feature itself

179 +needs its own test to verify the negative case (i.e. does it correctly

180 +stop if the user says "no"?)

181 +

182 +* jc/mailinfo-scissors (2009-08-26) 5 commits

183 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-30 at 5fc6248)

190 +I didn't pick up the patch to simplify the definition of scissors. I do

191 +not have strong opinion on it either way, but the list would hopefully

192 +decide it before too long.

220 +

221 +Re-rolled again.

222 +

249 + + git status: not "commit --dry-run" anymore

250 + + git stat -s: short status output

251 + + git stat: the beginning of "status that is not a dry-run of commit"

252 +

253 +With this, "git status" is no longer "git commit --preview".

265 + + diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK

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

267 +

268 +This changes exit code from "git diff --ignore-whitespace" and friends

269 +when there is no actual output. It is a backward incompatible change, but

270 +we could argue that it is a bugfix.

271 +

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

320 + . support for non-commit object caching in rev-cache

321 + . basic revision cache system, no integration or features

322 + . man page and technical discussion for rev-cache

323 +

324 +Updated but seems to break upload-pack tests when merged to 'pu'; given

325 +what this series touches, breakages in that area are expected.

326 +May discard if a working reroll comes, to give it a fresh start.
