6 +What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2009, #06; Sat, 24)
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 +----------------------------------------------------------------
18 +[New Topics]
19 +
20 +* jg/mergetool (Sat Jan 24 00:12:45 2009 +0100) 1 commit
21 + - [wait for an ack from ted] mergetool: Don't repeat merge tool
22 + candidates
23 +
24 +* cb/mergetool (Wed Jan 21 22:57:48 2009 +0000) 1 commit
25 + - [wait for ack from ted] mergetool: respect autocrlf by using
26 + checkout-index
27 +
28 +* jc/commit-assume-also-during-merge (Thu Jan 22 22:21:49 2009 -0800) 3 commits
29 + - git commit: pathspec without -i/-o implies -i semantics during a
30 + merge
31 + - builtin-commit: shorten eye-sore overlong lines
32 + - Add "partial commit" tests during a conflicted merge
33 +
34 +This is only meant as a weatherballoon to help facilitate discussion.
35 +
36 +* sr/clone-empty (Fri Jan 23 01:07:32 2009 +0100) 1 commit
37 + + Allow cloning an empty repository
38 +
39 +At last ;-) This is a reasonable thing to do, and should be fast tracked
40 +to 'master'.
41 +
42 +* cc/replace (Fri Jan 23 10:07:46 2009 +0100) 7 commits
43 + - environment: add global variable to disable replacement
44 + - mktag: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
45 + - replace_object: add a test case
46 + - object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
47 + - sha1_file: add a "read_sha1_file_repl" function
48 + - replace_object: add mechanism to replace objects found in
49 + "refs/replace/"
50 + - refs: add a "for_each_replace_ref" function
51 +
52 +----------------------------------------------------------------
53 +[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
54 +
55 +* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
56 + + blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental
57 + format
58 + + git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
59 +
60 +This gives Porcelains (like gitweb) the information on the commit _before_
61 +the one that the final blame is laid on, which should save them one
62 +rev-parse to dig further. The line number in the "previous" information
63 +may need refining, and sanity checking code for reference counting may
64 +need to be resurrected before this can move forward.
65 +
66 +* db/foreign-scm (Sun Jan 11 15:12:10 2009 -0500) 3 commits
67 + - Support fetching from foreign VCSes
68 + - Add specification of git-vcs helpers
69 + - Add "vcs" config option in remotes
70 +
71 +The "spec" did not seem quite well cooked yet, but in the longer term I
72 +think something like this to allow interoperating with other SCMs as if
73 +the other end is a native git repository is a very worthy goal.
74 +
75 +----------------------------------------------------------------
76 +[Reverted]
77 +
78 +* mh/unify-color (Fri Jan 23 01:25:23 2009 -0800) 3 commits
79 + ? Revert previous two commits
80 + ? move the color variables to color.c
81 + ? handle color.ui at a central place
82 +
83 +This broke git-format-patch badly.
84 +
85 +----------------------------------------------------------------
86 +[Actively cooking]
87 +
88 +* js/valgrind (Wed Jan 21 02:36:40 2009 +0100) 2 commits
89 + - valgrind: ignore ldso errors
90 + - Add valgrind support in test scripts
91 +
92 +Dscho seems to have some updates out of discussion with Peff, which is not
93 +queued here.
94 +
95 +* sp/runtime-prefix (Sun Jan 18 13:00:15 2009 +0100) 7 commits
96 + - Windows: Revert to default paths and convert them by
97 + RUNTIME_PREFIX
98 + - Compute prefix at runtime if RUNTIME_PREFIX is set
99 + - Modify setup_path() to only add git_exec_path() to PATH
100 + - Add calls to git_extract_argv0_path() in programs that call
101 + git_config_*
102 + - git_extract_argv0_path(): Move check for valid argv0 from caller
103 + to callee
104 + - Refactor git_set_argv0_path() to git_extract_argv0_path()
105 + - Move computation of absolute paths from Makefile to runtime (in
106 + preparation for RUNTIME_PREFIX)
107 +
108 +We should move this to 'next' soon with J6t's blessing.
109 +
110 +* lh/submodule-tree-traversal (Mon Jan 12 00:45:55 2009 +0100) 3 commits
111 + + builtin-ls-tree: enable traversal of submodules
112 + + archive.c: enable traversal of submodules
113 + + tree.c: add support for traversal of submodules
114 +
115 +There were a few updates posted, which I haven't picked up.
116 +
117 +* jk/signal-cleanup (Thu Jan 22 01:03:28 2009 -0500) 5 commits
118 + - pager: do wait_for_pager on signal death
119 + - refactor signal handling for cleanup functions
120 + - chain kill signals for cleanup functions
121 + - diff: refactor tempfile cleanup handling
122 + - Windows: Fix signal numbers
123 +
124 +Ready for 'next', but not tonight (yet).
125 +
126 +* ks/maint-mailinfo-folded (Tue Jan 13 01:21:04 2009 +0300) 5 commits
127 + - mailinfo: tests for RFC2047 examples
128 + - mailinfo: add explicit test for mails like '<a.u.thor@example.com>
129 + (A U Thor)'
130 + - mailinfo: more smarter removal of rfc822 comments from 'From'
131 + + mailinfo: 'From:' header should be unfold as well
132 + + mailinfo: correctly handle multiline 'Subject:' header
133 +
134 +As far as I can see, the only remaining thing is a minor fix-up in the
135 +"comment removal" one before we can move this fully to 'next'.
136 +
137 +* js/notes (Tue Jan 13 20:57:16 2009 +0100) 6 commits
138 + + git-notes: fix printing of multi-line notes
139 + + notes: fix core.notesRef documentation
140 + + Add an expensive test for git-notes
141 + + Speed up git notes lookup
142 + + Add a script to edit/inspect notes
143 + + Introduce commit notes
144 +
145 +It would be nice to hear a real world success story using the notes
146 +mechanism; Dscho says he also wants to make sure the current choice
147 +of the structure scales well before casting it in stone.
148 +
149 +* sc/gitweb-category (Fri Dec 12 00:45:12 2008 +0100) 3 commits
150 + - gitweb: Optional grouping of projects by category
151 + - gitweb: Split git_project_list_body in two functions
152 + - gitweb: Modularized git_get_project_description to be more generic
153 +
154 +Design discussion between Jakub and Sebastien continues.

174 +
175 +* tr/previous-branch (Wed Jan 21 00:37:38 2009 -0800) 10 commits

179 + + Fix reflog parsing for a malformed branch switching entry
180 + + Fix parsing of @{-1}@{1}
181 + + interpret_nth_last_branch(): avoid traversing the reflog twice
