+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.
