6 +What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2009, #02; Sun, 11)
7 +--------------------------------------------------
8 +
9 +Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
10 +with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
11 +in 'next'. The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of the branches,
12 +but I am still 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 +Sorry to have been lagging a bit. There are a few patches I am interested
18 +in but haven't studied yet nor mentioned here. I've been swamped outside
19 +git lately for the past few days, but hopefully I can get to them shortly.
20 +
21 +----------------------------------------------------------------
22 +[New Topics]
23 +
24 +* rs/fgrep (Sat Jan 10 00:18:34 2009 +0100) 2 commits
25 + + grep: don't call regexec() for fixed strings
26 + + grep -w: forward to next possible position after rejected match
27 +
28 +* lt/zlib-wrap-xprm (Wed Jan 7 19:54:47 2009 -0800) 1 commit
29 + - Wrap inflateInit to retry allocation after releasing pack memory
30 +
31 +Need to clean up the log message, perhaps rebase it to maint-1.6.0 and
32 +start cooking in 'next'.
33 +
34 +* jc/maint-format-patch (Sat Jan 10 12:41:33 2009 -0800) 1 commit
35 + + format-patch: show patch text for the root commit
36 +
37 +* tr/maint-no-index-fixes (Wed Jan 7 12:15:30 2009 +0100) 3 commits
38 + + diff --no-index -q: fix endless loop
39 + + diff --no-index: test for pager after option parsing
40 + + diff: accept -- when using --no-index
41 +
42 +* gb/gitweb-opml (Fri Jan 2 13:49:30 2009 +0100) 2 commits
43 + - gitweb: suggest name for OPML view
44 + - gitweb: don't use pathinfo for global actions
45 +
46 +* mh/maint-commit-color-status (Thu Jan 8 19:53:05 2009 +0100) 2 commits
47 + - git-status -v: color diff output when color.ui is set
48 + - git-commit: color status output when color.ui is set
49 +
50 +* ks/maint-mailinfo-folded (Thu Jan 8 01:43:42 2009 +0300) 1 commit
51 + - mailinfo: correctly handle multiline 'Subject:' header
52 +
53 +* js/patience-diff (Thu Jan 1 17:39:37 2009 +0100) 3 commits
54 + - bash completions: Add the --patience option
55 + - Introduce the diff option '--patience'
56 + - Implement the patience diff algorithm
57 +
58 +All of the above 'pu' topics are ready for 'next'.
59 +
60 +* ap/clone-into-empty (Fri Jan 9 02:24:23 2009 +0300) 2 commits
61 + - Use is_pseudo_dir_name everywhere
62 + - Allow cloning to an existing empty directory
63 +
64 +There is an updated patch that only refactors the repeated code to check
65 +if a dirent is dot or dot-dot posted, which I should have picked up to
66 +replace these but I haven't yet (the "clone into empty" can and should
67 +build on top of it).
68 +
69 +----------------------------------------------------------------
70 +[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
71 +
72 +* ds/uintmax-config (Mon Nov 3 09:14:28 2008 -0900) 1 commit
73 + - autoconf: Enable threaded delta search when pthreads are supported
74 +
75 +This automatically enables threaded delta search code when autoconf
76 +detects pthreads are usable. I haven't heard neither positive nor
77 +negative comments from minority platforms that might be harmed, but
78 +this feels like the right thing to do, so perhaps the best course of
79 +action is to merge this down to 'master' and see if anybody screams.
80 +
81 +* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
82 + + blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental
83 + format
84 + + git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
85 +
86 +This gives Porcelains (like gitweb) the information on the commit _before_
87 +the one that the final blame is laid on, which should save them one
88 +rev-parse to dig further. The line number in the "previous" information
89 +may need refining, and sanity checking code for reference counting may
90 +need to be resurrected before this can move forward.
91 +
92 +----------------------------------------------------------------
93 +[Actively cooking]
94 +
95 +* mv/apply-parse-opt (Fri Jan 9 22:21:36 2009 -0800) 2 commits

97 + + parse-opt: migrate builtin-apply.
98 +
99 +* rs/maint-shortlog-foldline (Tue Jan 6 21:41:06 2009 +0100) 1 commit
100 + + shortlog: handle multi-line subjects like log --pretty=oneline et.
101 + al. do
102 +
103 +* tr/rebase-root (Fri Jan 2 23:28:29 2009 +0100) 4 commits
104 + - rebase: update documentation for --root
105 + - rebase -i: learn to rebase root commit
106 + - rebase: learn to rebase root commit
107 + - rebase -i: execute hook only after argument checking
108 +
109 +I should be able to find time to read this over again and merge to
110 +'next' sometime this week.
111 +

229 +The semantics when "git commit" was used as a backend for other actions
230 +such as rebase and cherry-pick was unclear.
