+What's cooking in git.git (Dec 2008, #03; Sun, 21)
10
+--------------------------------------------------
11
+
12
+Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
13
+with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
14
+in 'next'. The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of the branches,
15
+but I am still holding onto them.
16
+
17
+The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
18
+meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
19
+
20
+As we have already passed -rc3, things queued in 'next' let alone 'pu' are
21
+unlikely to be merged to 'master' by the end of year unless otherwise
22
+noted.

+

127
+* kb/am-directory (Fri Aug 29 15:27:50 2008 -0700) 1 commit
128
+ . git-am: Pass the --directory option through to git-apply
129
+
130
+A reroll of this by Simon Schubert triggered a series to fix a parameter
131
+propagation bug, and another reroll to add "git am --directory=path/"
132
+should be much easier now. I am not likely to use the feature myself, so
133
+it is up to intrested volunteers to carry it forward.
134
+
135
+* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
136

141
+ - autoconf: Enable threaded delta search when pthreads are supported
142
+
143
+Rebased to 'master', that introduced NO_PTHREADS.
144
+
145
+* cc/bisect-replace (Mon Nov 24 22:20:30 2008 +0100) 9 commits
146
+ - bisect: add "--no-replace" option to bisect without using replace
147
+ refs
148
+ - rev-list: make it possible to disable replacing using "--no-
149
+ bisect-replace"
150
+ - bisect: use "--bisect-replace" options when checking merge bases
151
+ - merge-base: add "--bisect-replace" option to use fixed up revs
152
+ - commit: add "bisect_replace_all" prototype to "commit.h"
153
+ - rev-list: add "--bisect-replace" to list revisions with fixed up
154
+ history
155
+ - Documentation: add "git bisect replace" documentation
156
+ - bisect: add test cases for "git bisect replace"
157
+ - bisect: add "git bisect replace" subcommand
158
+
159
+I really hate the idea of introducing a potentially much more useful
160
+replacement of the existing graft mechanism and tie it very tightly to
161
+bisect, making it unusable from outside.
162
+
163
+ (1) I do not think "bisect replace" workflow is a practical and usable
164
+ one;
165
+
166
+ (2) The underlying mechanism to express "this object replaces that other
167
+ object" is much easier to work with than what the graft does which is
168
+ "the parents of this commit are these", and idea to use the normal
169
+ ref to point at them means this can potentially be used for
170
+ transferring the graft information across repositories, which the
171
+ current graft mechanism cannot do.
172
+
173
+ (3) Because I like the aspect (2) of this series so much, it deeply
174
+ disappoints and troubles me that this is implemented minimally near
175
+ the surface, and that it is controlled by the "bisect" Porcelain
176
+ alone, by explicitly passing command line arguments.
177
+
178
+I think a mechanism like this should be added to replace grafts, but it
179
+should always be enabled for normal revision traversal operation, while
180
+always disabled for object enumeration and transfer operation (iow, fsck,
181
+fetch and push should use the real ancestry information recorded in the
182
+underlying objects, while rev-list, log, etc. should always use the
183
+replaced objects). I have a suspicion that even cat-file could honor it.

185
+* nd/narrow (Sun Nov 30 17:54:38 2008 +0700) 17 commits

194
+ + t2104: touch portability fix
195
+ + grep: skip files outside sparse checkout area

198

202

203
+ + ls-files: add options to support sparse checkout
204
+ + Introduce CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit
205
+
206
+Kicked back to 'on hold' until 1.6.1 final by popular demand; will be
207
+dropped from 'next' (see recent discussion on the interaction between the
208

232
+
233

16
+ master b3eae84 (Documentation/git-show-branch: work around "single quote" typesetting glitch)
17
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
18
+
19
+The 'maint' branch is at 1.6.0.6, which hopefully will be the last
20
+maintenance release until 1.6.1 final.
21
+
22
+Earlier I said I'd like to have 1.6.1 final this weekend, but I'd rather
23
+play safe and tag -rc4 tonight (gee, it is already 04:00am), and leave the
24
+final 1.6.0 as Christmas present to git users.
25
+
26
+ * Paul has one patch on his gitk branch I have fetched but not merged yet;
27
+ waiting for his go-ahead.
28
+
29
+ * I am undecided whether I should include the "rebase -i -p" patch from
30
+ j6t in 1.6.1 and have been waiting for comments from Dscho.
31
+
32
+ * A documentation patch from Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. to add a reference to
33
+ the new HowTo page from git-revert manpage and an additional warning to
34
+ git-revert from Robin Rosenberg are still not in yet, but I would like
35
+ to have them with updates in 1.6.1 final.
36
+
37
+Other than that, the 'master' I am pusing out is pretty much it for
38
+1.6.1.

+
