5 +What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2008, #05; Tue, 19)
6 +--------------------------------------------------
7 +
8 +Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
9 +with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
10 +in 'next'.
11 +
12 +The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
13 +meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
14 +
15 +Tonight's 'pu' does not pass tests because test vectors have not been
16 +adjusted for the changes brought in by the jc/diff-prefix topic.
17 +
18 +----------------------------------------------------------------
19 +[New Topics]
20 +
21 +* js/mingw-stat (Mon Aug 18 22:01:06 2008 +0200) 2 commits
22 + - Revert "Windows: Use a customized struct stat that also has the
23 + st_blocks member."
24 + - compat: introduce on_disk_bytes()
25 +
26 +This gets rid of use of st_blocks member (which is XSI but not POSIX
27 +proper), which was originally prompted by recent Haiku port but it turns
28 +out MinGW has the same issue as well. Queued on 'pu' just to have a
29 +chance to make sure I munged the version j6t sent me correctly before
30 +merging it upwards.
31 +
32 +* ml/submodule-foreach (Sun Aug 10 19:10:04 2008 -0400) 1 commit
33 + + git-submodule - Add 'foreach' subcommand

59 +
60 +* lw/gitweb (Mon Aug 18 21:39:49 2008 +0200) 3 commits
61 + - gitweb: use new Git::Repo API, and add optional caching
62 + - add new Perl API: Git::Repo, Git::Commit, Git::Tag, and
63 + Git::RepoRoot
64 + - gitweb: add test suite with Test::WWW::Mechanize::CGI
65 +
66 +* jc/diff-prefix (Mon Aug 18 20:08:09 2008 -0700) 1 commit

68 +
69 +* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits

73 +
74 +----------------------------------------------------------------
75 +[Graduated to "master"]
76 +
77 +* ak/p4 (Thu Aug 14 23:40:39 2008 +0100) 14 commits
78 + + Utilise our new p4_read_pipe and p4_write_pipe wrappers
79 + + Add p4 read_pipe and write_pipe wrappers
80 + + Put in the two other configuration elements found in the source
81 + + Put some documentation in about the parameters that have been
82 + added
83 + + Move git-p4.syncFromOrigin into a configuration parameters section
84 + + Consistently use 'git-p4' for the configuration entries
85 + + If the user has configured various parameters, use them.
86 + + Switch to using 'p4_build_cmd'
87 + + If we are in verbose mode, output what we are about to run (or
88 + return)
89 + + Add a single command that will be used to construct the 'p4'
90 + command

95 + invocations
96 +
97 +Warmly received by the primary contributors of git-p4; this was merged as
98 +part of 1.6.0.
99 +
100 +----------------------------------------------------------------
101 +[Will merge to master soon]
102 +
103 +* js/checkout-dwim-local (Sat Aug 9 16:00:12 2008 +0200) 1 commit
104 + + checkout --track: make up a sensible branch name if '-b' was
105 + omitted
106 +
107 +* bd/diff-strbuf (Wed Aug 13 23:18:22 2008 -0700) 3 commits
108 + + xdiff-interface: hide the whole "xdiff_emit_state" business from
109 + the caller
110 + + Use strbuf for struct xdiff_emit_state's remainder
111 + + Make xdi_diff_outf interface for running xdiff_outf diffs
112 +
113 +Gives measurable performance improvement to textual diff generation. For
114 +improving "blame" performance, it might be more effective to hook directly
115 +to lower level of xdiff machinery so that we do not even have to generate
116 +patch only to discard after reading "@@ -l,k +m,n @@" lines, but that
117 +would be a separate topic.
118 +
119 +* jc/add-stop-at-symlink (Mon Aug 4 00:52:37 2008 -0700) 2 commits
120 + + add: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks
121 + + update-index: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks
122 +
123 +Fix for a longstanding bug that allows "git add" and "git update-index" to
124 +add a path "a/b" to the index when "a" is a symbolic link. We would need
125 +a similar fix for the case where "a" is a submodule.
126 +
127 +* dp/hash-literally (Sun Aug 3 18:36:22 2008 +0400) 6 commits
128 + + add --no-filters option to git hash-object
129 + + add --path option to git hash-object
130 + + use parse_options() in git hash-object
131 + + correct usage help string for git-hash-object
132 + + correct argument checking test for git hash-object
133 + + teach index_fd to work with pipes
134 +
135 +Gives a bit more flexibility to hash-objects by allowing us to lie about
136 +the path the contents comes from.
137 +
138 +* mv/merge-custom (Wed Aug 13 23:32:43 2008 +0200) 7 commits
139 + + Update .gitignore to ignore git-help
140 + + Builtin git-help.
141 + + builtin-help: always load_command_list() in cmd_help()
142 + + Add a second testcase for handling invalid strategies in git-merge
143 + + Add a new test for using a custom merge strategy
144 + + builtin-merge: allow using a custom strategy
145 + + builtin-help: make some internal functions available to other
146 + builtins
147 +
148 +* kh/diff-tree (Sun Aug 10 18:13:04 2008 +0200) 4 commits
149 + + Add test for diff-tree --stdin with two trees
150 + + Teach git diff-tree --stdin to diff trees
151 + + diff-tree: Note that the commit ID is printed with --stdin
152 + + Refactoring: Split up diff_tree_stdin
153 +
154 +* mg/count-objects (Fri Aug 15 00:20:20 2008 -0400) 1 commit
155 + + count-objects: Add total pack size to verbose output
156 +
157 +This one is without the human readable bits.
158 +
159 +* mz/push-verbose (Sat Aug 16 19:58:32 2008 +0200) 1 commit
160 + + Make push more verbose about illegal combination of options
161 +
162 +* jc/index-extended-flags (Sat Aug 16 23:02:08 2008 -0700) 1 commit
163 + + index: future proof for "extended" index entries
164 +
165 +* cc/merge-base-many (Sun Jul 27 13:47:22 2008 -0700) 4 commits
166 + + git-merge-octopus: use (merge-base A (merge B C D E...)) for
167 + stepwise merge
168 + + merge-base-many: add trivial tests based on the documentation
169 + + documentation: merge-base: explain "git merge-base" with more than
170 + 2 args
171 + + merge-base: teach "git merge-base" to drive underlying
172 + merge_bases_many()
173 +
174 +* rs/imap (Wed Jul 9 22:29:02 2008 +0100) 5 commits
175 + + Documentation: Improve documentation for git-imap-send(1)
176 + + imap-send.c: more style fixes
177 + + imap-send.c: style fixes
178 + + git-imap-send: Support SSL
179 + + git-imap-send: Allow the program to be run from subdirectories of
180 + a git tree
181 +
182 +Some people seem to prefer having this feature available also with gnutls.
183 +Such an enhancement can be done in-tree on top of this series if they are
184 +so inclined.
185 +
186 +* jc/add-addremove (Tue Jul 22 22:30:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
187 + + builtin-add.c: optimize -A option and "git add ."
188 + + builtin-add.c: restructure the code for maintainability
189 +
190 +* jk/pager-swap (Tue Jul 22 03:14:12 2008 -0400) 2 commits
191 + + spawn pager via run_command interface
192 + + run-command: add pre-exec callback
193 +
194 +This changes the parent-child relationship between the pager and the git
195 +process. We used to make pager the parent which meant that the exit
196 +status from git is lost from the caller.
197 +
198 +* ph/enable-threaded (Mon Jul 21 11:23:43 2008 +0200) 1 commit
199 + + Enable threaded delta search on *BSD and Linux.
200 +
201 +* am/cherry-pick-rerere (Sun Aug 10 17:18:55 2008 +0530) 1 commit
202 + + Make cherry-pick use rerere for conflict resolution.
203 +
204 +* js/parallel-test (Mon Aug 18 12:25:40 2008 -0400) 4 commits
205 + + Update t/.gitignore to ignore all trash directories
206 + + Enable parallel tests
207 + + tests: Clarify dependencies between tests, 'aggregate-results' and
208 + 'clean'
209 + + t9700: remove useless check
210 +
211 +* jc/test-deeper (Fri Aug 8 02:26:28 2008 -0700) 1 commit
212 + + tests: use $TEST_DIRECTORY to refer to the t/ directory
213 +
214 +This does not actually move "t/test directory" any deeper, but fixes test
215 +scripts that assume they run immediately below "t/" to use TEST_DIRECTORY
216 +variable.

219 +[Actively Cooking]
220 +
221 +* sp/missing-thin-base (Tue Aug 12 11:31:06 2008 -0700) 1 commit
222 + + pack-objects: Allow missing base objects when creating thin packs
223 +
224 +* tr/filter-branch (Tue Aug 12 10:45:59 2008 +0200) 3 commits
225 + + filter-branch: use --simplify-merges
226 + + filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with --subdirectory-filter
227 + + filter-branch: Extend test to show rewriting bug
228 +
229 +Fixes a longstanding filter branch bug.
230 +
231 +* jc/post-simplify (Fri Aug 15 01:34:51 2008 -0700) 8 commits
232 + - revision --simplify-merges: incremental simplification
233 + - revision --simplify-merges: prepare for incremental simplification
234 + - revision --simplify-merges: make it a no-op without pathspec
235 + + revision --simplify-merges: do not leave commits unprocessed
236 + + revision --simplify-merges: use decoration instead of commit->util
237 + field
238 + + Topo-sort before --simplify-merges
239 + + revision traversal: show full history with merge simplification
240 + + revision.c: whitespace fix
241 +
242 +"log --full-history" is with too much clutter, "log" itself is too cleverer
243 +than some people, and here is the middle level of merge simplification.
244 +
245 +I started making this incremental but the progress is not so great.
246 +
247 +* tr/rev-list-docs (Tue Aug 12 01:55:37 2008 +0200) 1 commit
248 + + Documentation: rev-list-options: move --simplify-merges
249 + documentation

252 +[On Hold]
253 +
254 +* lt/time-reject-fractional-seconds (Sat Aug 16 21:25:40 2008 -0700) 1 commit
255 + - date/time: do not get confused by fractional seconds
256 +
257 +Linus hints further enhancements as "the right way", so let's see if
258 +somebody else steps up and tries it before merging this to 'next'.
259 +
260 +* jc/cc-ld-dynpath (Sat Aug 16 15:01:23 2008 +0200) 2 commits
261 + - configure: auto detect dynamic library path switches
262 + - Makefile: Allow CC_LD_DYNPATH to be overriden
263 +
264 +Needs success reports from people who do use user-defined dynamic library
265 +path when they build their "git" before this series can go anywhere.
266 +
267 +* sb/daemon (Thu Aug 14 20:02:20 2008 +0200) 4 commits
268 + - git-daemon: rewrite kindergarden, new option --max-connections
269 + - git-daemon: Simplify dead-children reaping logic
270 + - git-daemon: use LOG_PID, simplify logging code
271 + - git-daemon: call logerror() instead of error()
272 +
273 +Can somebody who actually runs the daemon standalone comment on this one?
274 +
275 +* mv/merge-recursive (Tue Aug 12 22:14:00 2008 +0200) 3 commits
276 + - Make builtin-revert.c use merge_recursive_generic()
277 + - merge-recursive.c: Add more generic merge_recursive_generic()
278 + - Split out merge_recursive() to merge-recursive.c
279 +
280 +I do not think builtlin-revert should use "recursive", but these patches
281 +give a good starting point to separate the bulk of the "rename-aware
282 +three-way merge" into library form.
283 +
284 +* sp/smart-http (Sun Aug 3 00:25:17 2008 -0700) 2 commits
285 + - [do not merge -- original version] Add Git-aware CGI for Git-aware
286 + smart HTTP transport
287 + - Add backdoor options to receive-pack for use in Git-aware CGI
288 +
289 +The "magic" detection protocol was revised to use POST to info/refs; the
290 +top one queued is from before that discussion.
291 +
292 +* cc/bisect (Fri Jul 25 05:36:37 2008 +0200) 2 commits
293 + - bisect: only check merge bases when needed
294 + - bisect: test merge base if good rev is not an ancestor of bad rev
295 +
296 +The first one alone does not pass its self-test but combined together they
297 +seem to. It does not build confidence as the latter one is supposed to be
298 +an optimization only. Resend of fixed-up series is needed.
299 +
300 +* sg/merge-options (Sun Apr 6 03:23:47 2008 +0200) 1 commit
301 + + merge: remove deprecated summary and diffstat options and config
302 + variables
303 +
304 +This was previously in "will be in master soon" category, but it turns out
305 +that the synonyms to the ones this one deletes are fairly new invention
306 +that happend in 1.5.6 timeframe, and we cannot do this just yet. Perhaps
307 +in 1.7.0.
308 +
309 +* jc/dashless (Wed Jun 25 15:55:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit
310 + - Make clients ask for "git program" over ssh and local transport
311 +
312 +This is the "botched" one. Will be resurrected during 1.7.0 or 1.8.0
313 +timeframe.
314 +
315 +* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit
316 + - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
317 + asked for
318 +
319 +This would be the right thing to do for command line use, but gitk will be
320 +hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding this back for now.
