6 +What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2009, #05; Wed, 26)
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.

64 + + Make 'git stash -k' a short form for 'git stash save --keep-index'
65 + (this branch is used by tr/reset-checkout-patch.)
66 +
67 +* tr/reset-checkout-patch (2009-08-18) 8 commits.
68 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-18 at e465bb3)
69 + + tests: disable interactive hunk selection tests if perl is not available
70 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-16 at 67896c4)
71 + + DWIM 'git stash save -p' for 'git stash -p'

73 + + Implement 'git checkout --patch'
74 + + Implement 'git reset --patch'
75 + + builtin-add: refactor the meat of interactive_add()
76 + + Add a small patch-mode testing library
77 + + git-apply--interactive: Refactor patch mode code
78 + (this branch uses js/stash-dwim.)
79 +
80 +There was a discussion on better DWIMmery for the above two topics to (1)
81 +forbid "git stash save --anything-with-dash" and (2) redirect with any
82 +option "git stash --opt" to "git stash save --opt", to keep it flexible
83 +and safe at the same time. I think it is a sane thing to do, but nothing
84 +has happened lately.
85 +
86 +* jn/gitweb-blame (2009-08-06) 3 commits
87 + - gitweb: Create links leading to 'blame_incremental' using JavaScript

100 + - Allow fetch to modify refs
101 + - Use a function to determine whether a remote is valid
102 + - Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers
103 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-07 at f3533ba)
104 + + Makefile: install hardlinks for git-remote-<scheme> supported by libcurl if possible
105 + + Makefile: do not link three copies of git-remote-* programs

110 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-05 at 33d491e)
111 + + git-http-fetch: not a builtin
112 + + Use an external program to implement fetching with curl
113 + + Add support for external programs for handling native fetches
114 + (this branch is used by jh/cvs-helper.)
115 +
116 +There was a discussion that suggests that the use of colon ':' before vcs
117 +helper name needs to be corrected. Nothing happened since.
118 +
119 +* je/send-email-no-subject (2009-08-05) 1 commit
120 + - send-email: confirm on empty mail subjects
121 +

123 +workaround.

138 + + Further 'approxidate' improvements
139 + + Improve on 'approxidate'
140 +
141 +Fixes a few "reasonably formatted but thus-far misparsed" date strings.
142 +As Nico suggested, we would need a test to prevent regression to existing
143 +support for date strings that are "reasonably formatted".
144 +
145 +* jc/mailinfo-scissors (2009-08-25) 2 commits
146 + - Documentation: describe the scissors mark support of "git am"
147 + - Teach mailinfo to ignore everything before -- >8 -- mark

152 + + xutils: Fix hashing an incomplete line with whitespaces at the end
153 +
154 +* cc/sequencer-rebase-i (2009-08-21) 17 commits.
155 + - rebase -i: use "git sequencer--helper --cherry-pick"
156 + - sequencer: add "--cherry-pick" option to "git sequencer--helper"
157 + - sequencer: add "do_commit()" and related functions
158 + - pick: libify "pick_help_msg()"
159 + - revert: libify pick
160 + - rebase -i: use "git sequencer--helper --fast-forward"
161 + - sequencer: let "git sequencer--helper" callers set "allow_dirty"
162 + - sequencer: add "--fast-forward" option to "git sequencer--helper"
163 + - sequencer: add "do_fast_forward()" to perform a fast forward
164 + - rebase -i: use "git sequencer--helper --reset-hard"
165 + - sequencer: add "--reset-hard" option to "git sequencer--helper"
166 + - sequencer: add comments about reset_almost_hard()
167 + - sequencer: add "reset_almost_hard()" and related functions
168 + - rebase -i: use "git sequencer--helper --make-patch"
169 + - sequencer: free memory used in "make_patch" function
170 + - sequencer: add "make_patch" function to save a patch
171 + - sequencer: add "builtin-sequencer--helper.c"
172 +
173 +Migrating "rebase -i" bit by bit to C. I am inclined to agree with Dscho
174 +that maybe this approach forces the migration to follow the structure of
175 +the shell script too much, and could force a suboptimal end result, but
176 +we'll see.
177 +
178 +* as/maint-graph-interesting-fix (2009-08-21) 2 commits.
179 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-25 at 9d5e215)
180 + + Add tests for rev-list --graph with options that simplify history
181 + + graph API: fix bug in graph_is_interesting()
182 +
183 +Looked sane.

185 +* jc/shortstatus (2009-08-15) 11 commits

187 + + git commit --dry-run -v: show diff in color when asked
188 + + Documentation/git-commit.txt: describe --dry-run
189 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-12 at 53bda17)
190 + + wt-status: collect untracked files in a separate "collect" phase
191 + + Make git_status_config() file scope static to builtin-commit.c
192 + + wt-status: move wt_status_colors[] into wt_status structure

198 + + diff-index: keep the original index intact
199 + + diff-index: report unmerged new entries
200 + (this branch is used by jc/1.7.0-status.)
201 +
202 +Will cook for a bit more and then merge.
203 +
204 +* jc/maint-unpack-objects-strict (2009-08-13) 1 commit.
205 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-23 at 38eb750)
206 + + Fix "unpack-objects --strict"
207 +
208 +Will merge.

210 +* jh/submodule-foreach (2009-08-20) 9 commits
211 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-20 at 671bea4)
212 + + git clone: Add --recursive to automatically checkout (nested) submodules
213 + + t7407: Use 'rev-parse --short' rather than bash's substring expansion notation
214 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-18 at f4a881d)
215 + + git submodule status: Add --recursive to recurse into nested submodules
216 + + git submodule update: Introduce --recursive to update nested submodules
217 + + git submodule foreach: Add --recursive to recurse into nested submodules
218 + + git submodule foreach: test access to submodule name as '$name'
219 + + Add selftest for 'git submodule foreach'
220 + + git submodule: Cleanup usage string and add option parsing to cmd_foreach()
221 + + git submodule foreach: Provide access to submodule name, as '$name'
222 +
223 +Will merge.
224 +
225 +* jh/notes (2009-07-29) 8 commits.
226 + - t3302-notes-index-expensive: Speed up create_repo()
227 + - fast-import: Add support for importing commit notes
228 + - First draft of notes tree parser with support for fanout subtrees
229 + - Teach "-m <msg>" and "-F <file>" to "git notes edit"
230 + - Add an expensive test for git-notes
231 + - Speed up git notes lookup
232 + - Add a script to edit/inspect notes
233 + - Introduce commit notes
234 +
235 +The cvs-helper series depends on this one. I have a recollection
236 +that some people were not happy about the fan-out of the notes tree
237 +layout, but has the issue been resolved to a concensus?
238 +
239 +* ne/rev-cache (2009-08-21) 6 commits
240 + . support for path name caching in rev-cache
241 + . full integration of rev-cache into git, completed test suite
242 + . administrative functions for rev-cache, start of integration into git
243 + . support for non-commit object caching in rev-cache
244 + . basic revision cache system, no integration or features
245 + . man page and technical discussion for rev-cache
246 +
247 +Updated but seems to break upload-pack tests when merged to 'pu'; given
248 +what this series touches, breakages in that area are expected.
249 +May discard if a working reroll comes, to give it a fresh start.
250 +
251 +* jh/cvs-helper (2009-08-18) 7 commits
252 + - More fixes to the git-remote-cvs installation procedure
253 + - Fix the Makefile-generated path to the git_remote_cvs package in git-remote-cvs
254 + - Add simple selftests of git-remote-cvs functionality
255 + - git-remote-cvs: Remote helper program for CVS repositories
256 + - 2/2: Add Python support library for CVS remote helper
257 + - 1/2: Add Python support library for CVS remote helper
258 + - Basic build infrastructure for Python scripts
259 + (this branch uses db/vcs-helper.)
260 +
261 +Builds on db/vcs-helper (which is stalled, so this cannot move).
262 +
263 +The testing of Python part seemed to be still fragile even with the latest
264 +fix on one of my boches with an earlier round already installed, but I
265 +didn't look very deeply before removing the older installation.
266 +
267 +* sr/gfi-options (2009-08-24) 4 commits
268 + - fast-import: test the new option command
269 + - fast-import: add option command
270 + - fast-import: put marks reading in it's own function
271 + - fast-import: put option parsing code in seperate functions
272 +
273 +Will merge to 'next' shortly.
274 +
275 +* lt/block-sha1 (2009-08-17) 4 commits
276 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-18 at 67a1ce8)
277 + + remove ARM and Mozilla SHA1 implementations
278 + + block-sha1: guard gcc extensions with __GNUC__
279 + + make sure byte swapping is optimal for git
280 + + block-sha1: make the size member first in the context struct
281 +
282 +May merge soon; Solaris performance patches that was discussed
283 +earlier can happen on 'master', as the series is usable as-is.
284 +
285 +* nd/sparse (2009-08-20) 20 commits
286 + - sparse checkout: inhibit empty worktree
287 + - Add tests for sparse checkout
288 + - read-tree: add --no-sparse-checkout to disable sparse checkout support
289 + - unpack-trees(): ignore worktree check outside checkout area
290 + - unpack_trees(): apply $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout to the final index
291 + - unpack-trees(): "enable" sparse checkout and load $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout
292 + - unpack-trees.c: generalize verify_* functions
293 + - unpack-trees(): add CE_WT_REMOVE to remove on worktree alone
294 + - Introduce "sparse checkout"
295 + - dir.c: export excluded_1() and add_excludes_from_file_1()
296 + - excluded_1(): support exclude files in index
297 + - unpack-trees(): carry skip-worktree bit over in merged_entry()
298 + - Read .gitignore from index if it is skip-worktree
299 + - Avoid writing to buffer in add_excludes_from_file_1()
300 + - Teach Git to respect skip-worktree bit (writing part)
301 + - Teach Git to respect skip-worktree bit (reading part)
302 + - Introduce "skip-worktree" bit in index, teach Git to get/set this bit
303 + - Add test-index-version
304 + - update-index: refactor mark_valid() in preparation for new options
305 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-20 at ea167d7)
306 + + Prevent diff machinery from examining assume-unchanged entries on worktree
307 +
308 +The first one was an independent fix; the rest has been replaced with the
309 +"return of no-checkout" series.
