What's cooking in git.git (Apr 2009, #03; Wed, 15)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.  The ones
marked with '.' do not appear in any of the branches, but I am still
holding onto them.

The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order.  The topics
meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.

We are a bit past 1.6.3-rc0, and this report will show pretty much what
the final should look like from the feature-set point-of-view.

----------------------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]

* ac/color-graph (Mon Apr 13 15:53:41 2009 -0400) 1 commit
 + graph API: Added logic for colored edges

This has been under discussion since before 1.6.3-rc0, hopefully in
1.6.3-rc1.

* mw/send-email (Mon Apr 13 13:23:52 2009 -0500) 6 commits
 - send-email: Remove superfluous `my $editor = ...'
 - send-email: 'References:' should only reference what is sent
 - send-email: Handle "GIT:" rather than "GIT: " during --compose
 - Docs: send-email: --smtp-server-port can take symbolic ports
 - Docs: send-email: Refer to CONFIGURATION section for
   sendemail.multiedit
 - Docs: send-email: Put options back into alphabetical order

Only partially queued, but this is not 1.6.3 material and we are not in a
hurry.

* jk/cobdoc (Mon Apr 13 07:21:04 2009 -0400) 5 commits
 + docs/checkout: clarify what "non-branch" means
 + doc/checkout: split checkout and branch creation in synopsis
 + doc/checkout: refer to git-branch(1) as appropriate
 + doc: refer to tracking configuration as "upstream"
 + doc: clarify --no-track option

For 1.6.3

* mk/apply-swap (Sat Apr 11 21:31:00 2009 +0200) 2 commits
 + builtin-apply: keep information about files to be deleted
 + tests: test applying criss-cross rename patch

For 1.6.3; perhaps needs to be cherry-picked to 1.6.2.X series as well.

----------------------------------------------------------------

J6t's updates to fix permission tests and make sure they won't run on
systems without permission bits on the filesystem.

* ns/am-to-empty (Fri Apr 10 09:34:42 2009 +0900) 1 commit

----------------------------------------------------------------
[Graduated to "master"]

(none)

----------------------------------------------------------------
[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]

* lt/bool-on-off (Thu Apr 9 12:40:39 2009 -0700) 1 commit
 + Allow users to un-configure rename detection

Still lacks doc updates.

* ps/blame (Thu Mar 12 21:30:03 2009 +1100) 1 commit
 - blame.c: start libifying the blame infrastructure

A few minor point remains in this initial one.  I hate to do these minor
fix-ups myself, but I may end up doing so...

* jc/log-tz (Tue Mar 3 00:45:37 2009 -0800) 1 commit
 - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected

The one I posted had a few corner-case bugs that was caught with the test
suite; this one has them fixed.  People did not like the UI so it is kept
out of 'next'

* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit
 - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree

This is a feature waiting for a user.

We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am
using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes
rules for that final path".  Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the
data in the canonical repository representation.

rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse.  It reads the three
files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work
tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical
representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical
representation and writes the resulting mess out.  It needs to be fixed to
read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the
canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write
the results out after convert_to_working_tree().  It also needs to write
in binary mode as well.

* db/foreign-scm (Tue Mar 24 23:04:12 2009 -0400) 3 commits
 - Add option for using a foreign VCS
 - Document details of transport function APIs
 - Allow late reporting of fetched hashes

* js/notes (Tue Apr 14 00:03:36 2009 +0200) 15 commits
 - Documentation: fix 'linkgit' macro in "git-notes.txt"
 - tests: fix "export var=val"
 - notes: refuse to edit notes outside refs/notes/
 - t3301: use test_must_fail instead of !
 - t3301: fix confusing quoting in test for valid notes ref
 - notes: use GIT_EDITOR and core.editor over VISUAL/EDITOR
 - notes: only clean up message file when editing
 - handle empty notes gracefully
 - git notes show: test empty notes
 - git-notes: fix printing of multi-line notes
 - notes: fix core.notesRef documentation
 - Add an expensive test for git-notes
 - Speed up git notes lookup
 - Add a script to edit/inspect notes
 - Introduce commit notes

* hv/cvsps-tests (Sun Apr 5 01:40:50 2009 -0700) 8 commits
 - t/t9600: remove exit after test_done
 - cvsimport: extend testcase about patchset order to contain
   branches
 - cvsimport: add test illustrating a bug in cvsps
 + Add a test of "git cvsimport"'s handling of tags and branches
 + Add some tests of git-cvsimport's handling of vendor branches
 + Test contents of entire cvsimported "master" tree contents
 + Use CVS's -f option if available (ignore user's ~/.cvsrc file)
 + Start a library for cvsimport-related tests

Two cvsimport test topics were rewound from 'next' and merged into this
one.  I'll keep this in 'pu' so that people can polish their cvsps skilz
to resolve issues these tests identify.

----------------------------------------------------------------
[Actively cooking]

* lt/pack-object-memuse (Fri Apr 10 18:15:26 2009 -0700) 2 commits
 + show_object(): push path_name() call further down
 + process_{tree,blob}: show objects without buffering

This had some conflicts with Christian's bisect topic; I think I resolved
them correctly, but double-checking would be nice.

* nd/archive-attribute (Mon Apr 13 14:18:39 2009 +0200) 5 commits
 + archive test: test new --fix-attributes feature
 + archive: do not read .gitattributes in working directory
 + unpack-trees: do not muck with attributes when we are not checking
   out
 + attr: add GIT_ATTR_INDEX "direction"
 + archive tests: do not use .gitattributes in working directory

With fix-ups from René and myself.  Perhaps 1.6.3 material, perhaps not.

* js/add-edit (Wed Apr 8 23:30:24 2009 +0200) 1 commit
 - git-add: introduce --edit (to edit the diff vs. the index)

* cc/replace (Tue Apr 14 00:36:59 2009 +0200) 13 commits
 - Documentation: add documentation for "git replace"
 - Add git-replace to .gitignore
 - builtin-replace: use "usage_msg_opt" to give better error messages
 - parse-options: add new function "usage_msg_opt"
 - builtin-replace: teach "git replace" to actually replace
 - Add new "git replace" command
 - environment: add global variable to disable replacement
 - mktag: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
 - replace_object: add a test case
 - object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
 - sha1_file: add a "read_sha1_file_repl" function
 - replace_object: add mechanism to replace objects found in
   "refs/replace/"
 - refs: add a "for_each_replace_ref" function

I suspect an attempt to replace an object that is directly listed on the
command line would not work very well with this series.

----------------------------------------------------------------
[Reverted]

* mh/cvsimport-tests (Mon Feb 23 06:08:14 2009 +0100) 5 commits
 + Add a test of "git cvsimport"'s handling of tags and branches
 + Add some tests of git-cvsimport's handling of vendor branches
 + Test contents of entire cvsimported "master" tree contents
 + Use CVS's -f option if available (ignore user's ~/.cvsrc file)
 + Start a library for cvsimport-related tests

This has been reverted out of 'next' for some time now.

----------------------------------------------------------------
[On Hold]

* jc/deny-delete-current-1.7.0 (Mon Feb 9 00:19:46 2009 -0800) 1 commit
 - receive-pack: default receive.denyDeleteCurrent to refuse

* jc/refuse-push-to-current-1.7.0 (Wed Feb 11 02:28:03 2009 -0800) 1 commit
 - Refuse updating the current branch in a non-bare repository via
   push

These are for 1.7.0, but the messages when they trigger together may need
to be rethought.
