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 integration branches, but I am still holding onto them. In 1.7.0, we plan to correct handful of warts in the interfaces everybody agrees that they were mistakes. The resulting system may not be strictly backward compatible. Currently planeed changes are: * refuse push to update the checked out branch in a non-bare repo by default Make "git push" into a repository to update the branch that is checked out fail by default. You can countermand this default by setting a configuration variable in the receiving repository. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007 * refuse push to delete the current branch by default Make "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch that is pointed at by its HEAD fail by default. You can countermand this default by setting a configuration variable in the receiving repository. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/108862/focus=108936 * git-send-email won't make deep threads by default Many people said that by default when sending more than 2 patches the threading git-send-email makes by default is hard to read, and they prefer the default be one cover letter and each patch as a direct follow-up to the cover letter. You can countermand this by setting a configuration variable. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/109790 * git-status won't be "git-commit --dry-run" anymore http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/125989/focus=125993 * "git-diff -w --exit-code" will exit success if only differences it found are whitespace changes that are stripped away from the output. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/119731/focus=119751 We are in pre-release feature freeze. 'next' will hold topics meant for 1.6.6 and 1.7.0. Except for possibly gfi-options series from Sverre, and updates to subsystems (svn, gitk, gui, and gitweb) may still need to be merged in, but otherwise 'master' is ready for -rc2. I am still hoping that I can tag the final before I take a vacation starting on 24th for a week, but we may have to give the final -rc a week to shake out any possible last minute regressions and release 1.6.5 at the beginning of next month. -------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to "master"] * rc/maint-http-no-head-pack-check (2009-09-14) 2 commits. + http.c: avoid freeing an uninitialized pointer + http.c: remove verification of remote packs Graduated to master and maint but then needed a small fixup. -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * jc/maint-blank-at-eof (2009-09-15) 0 commits. (this branch uses jc/maint-1.6.0-blank-at-eof.) The series does not have a commit of its own but is a preparation for merging the original jc/1.6.0-maint-blank-at-eof topic to 'maint' and then 'master'. It is a fix for longstanding bug and 1.6.5 will likely to ship without this topic. -------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * je/send-email-no-subject (2009-08-05) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-30 at b6455c2) + send-email: confirm on empty mail subjects The existing tests to covers the positive case (i.e. as long as the user says "yes" to the "do you really want to send this message that lacks subject", the message is sent) of this feature, but the feature itself needs its own test to verify the negative case (i.e. does it correctly stop if the user says "no"?) * jh/cvs-helper (2009-08-18) 8 commits - More fixes to the git-remote-cvs installation procedure - Fix the Makefile-generated path to the git_remote_cvs package in git-remote-cvs - Add simple selftests of git-remote-cvs functionality - git-remote-cvs: Remote helper program for CVS repositories - 2/2: Add Python support library for CVS remote helper - 1/2: Add Python support library for CVS remote helper - Basic build infrastructure for Python scripts - Allow helpers to request marks for fast-import (this branch uses db/vcs-helper-rest.) Builds on db/vcs-helper. There is a re-roll planned. * ne/rev-cache (2009-09-07) 7 commits . support for commit grafts, slight change to general mechanism . support for path name caching in rev-cache . full integration of rev-cache into git, completed test suite . administrative functions for rev-cache, start of integration into git . support for non-commit object caching in rev-cache . basic revision cache system, no integration or features . man page and technical discussion for rev-cache Replaced but I do not think this is ready for 'pu' yet. -------------------------------------------------- [Cooking] * db/vcs-helper-rest (2009-09-03) 6 commits - Allow helpers to report in "list" command that the ref is unchanged - Add support for "import" helper command - Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs - Allow programs to not depend on remotes having urls - Allow fetch to modify refs - Use a function to determine whether a remote is valid (this branch is used by jh/cvs-helper.) This holds the remainder of the db/vcs-helper topic that has already merged for 1.6.5. * jh/notes (2009-09-12) 13 commits - Selftests verifying semantics when loading notes trees with various fanouts - Teach the notes lookup code to parse notes trees with various fanout schemes - notes.[ch] fixup: avoid old-style declaration - Teach notes code to free its internal data structures on request. - Add '%N'-format for pretty-printing commit notes - Add flags to get_commit_notes() to control the format of the note string - t3302-notes-index-expensive: Speed up create_repo() - fast-import: Add support for importing commit notes - Teach "-m <msg>" and "-F <file>" to "git notes edit" - Add an expensive test for git-notes - Speed up git notes lookup - Add a script to edit/inspect notes - Introduce commit notes (this branch uses sr/gfi-options.) Rerolled and queued. * jn/gitweb-show-size (2009-09-07) 1 commit - gitweb: Add 'show-sizes' feature to show blob sizes in tree view * lt/maint-traverse-trees-fix (2009-09-06) 1 commit. - Prepare 'traverse_trees()' for D/F conflict lookahead Beginning of the fix to a rather nasty longstanding issue of merging trees with ("a" "a-b"), ("a/b" "a-b") and just ("a-b"), but my reading of it is that it is just the first step to demonstrate one-entry lookahead and not a full solution yet. I started writing a replacement series but the progress is a bit slower than I would have liked. * jc/maint-1.6.0-blank-at-eof (2009-09-14) 15 commits. (merged to 'next' on 2009-09-15 at 9cbfa00) + diff -B: colour whitespace errors + diff.c: emit_add_line() takes only the rest of the line + diff.c: split emit_line() from the first char and the rest of the line + diff.c: shuffling code around + diff --whitespace: fix blank lines at end (merged to 'next' on 2009-09-07 at 165dc3c) + core.whitespace: split trailing-space into blank-at-{eol,eof} + diff --color: color blank-at-eof + diff --whitespace=warn/error: fix blank-at-eof check + diff --whitespace=warn/error: obey blank-at-eof + diff.c: the builtin_diff() deals with only two-file comparison + apply --whitespace: warn blank but not necessarily empty lines at EOF + apply --whitespace=warn/error: diagnose blank at EOF + apply.c: split check_whitespace() into two + apply --whitespace=fix: detect new blank lines at eof correctly + apply --whitespace=fix: fix handling of blank lines at the eof (this branch is used by jc/maint-blank-at-eof.) This is a fix for an ancient bug (or inconsistent set of features); the topic is based on an ancient codebase and is designed to be merged upwards. jc/maint-blank-at-eof serves that purpose. Will not be in 1.6.5. * jn/gitweb-blame (2009-09-01) 5 commits - gitweb: Minify gitweb.js if JSMIN is defined - gitweb: Create links leading to 'blame_incremental' using JavaScript (merged to 'next' on 2009-09-07 at 3622199) + gitweb: Colorize 'blame_incremental' view during processing + gitweb: Incremental blame (using JavaScript) + gitweb: Add optional "time to generate page" info in footer Ajax-y blame. * sr/gfi-options (2009-09-06) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2009-09-07 at 5f6b0ff) + fast-import: test the new option command + fast-import: add option command + fast-import: test the new feature command + fast-import: add feature command + fast-import: put marks reading in it's own function + fast-import: put option parsing code in separate functions (this branch is used by jh/notes.) Ping? * nd/sparse (2009-08-20) 19 commits - sparse checkout: inhibit empty worktree - Add tests for sparse checkout - read-tree: add --no-sparse-checkout to disable sparse checkout support - unpack-trees(): ignore worktree check outside checkout area - unpack_trees(): apply $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout to the final index - unpack-trees(): "enable" sparse checkout and load $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout - unpack-trees.c: generalize verify_* functions - unpack-trees(): add CE_WT_REMOVE to remove on worktree alone - Introduce "sparse checkout" - dir.c: export excluded_1() and add_excludes_from_file_1() - excluded_1(): support exclude files in index - unpack-trees(): carry skip-worktree bit over in merged_entry() - Read .gitignore from index if it is skip-worktree - Avoid writing to buffer in add_excludes_from_file_1() - Teach Git to respect skip-worktree bit (writing part) - Teach Git to respect skip-worktree bit (reading part) - Introduce "skip-worktree" bit in index, teach Git to get/set this bit - Add test-index-version - update-index: refactor mark_valid() in preparation for new options -------------------------------------------------- [For 1.7.0] * jk/1.7.0-status (2009-09-05) 5 commits - docs: note that status configuration affects only long format (merged to 'next' on 2009-09-07 at 8a7c563) + commit: support alternate status formats + status: add --porcelain output format + status: refactor format option parsing + status: refactor short-mode printing to its own function (this branch uses jc/1.7.0-status.) Gives the --short output format to post 1.7.0 "git commit --dry-run" that is similar to that of post 1.7.0 "git status". * jc/1.7.0-status (2009-09-05) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2009-09-06 at 19d4beb) + status: typo fix in usage (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-22 at b3507bb) + git status: not "commit --dry-run" anymore + git stat -s: short status output + git stat: the beginning of "status that is not a dry-run of commit" (this branch is used by jk/1.7.0-status.) With this, "git status" is no longer "git commit --dry-run". * jc/1.7.0-send-email-no-thread-default (2009-08-22) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-22 at 5106de8) + send-email: make --no-chain-reply-to the default * jc/1.7.0-diff-whitespace-only-status (2009-08-30) 4 commits. (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-30 at 0623572) + diff.c: fix typoes in comments (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-27 at 81fb2bd) + Make test case number unique (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-02 at 9c08420) + diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK + diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace" options This changes exit code from "git diff --ignore-whitespace" and friends when there is no actual output. It is a backward incompatible change, but we could argue that it is a bugfix. * jc/1.7.0-push-safety (2009-02-09) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-02 at 38b82fe) + Refuse deleting the current branch via push + Refuse updating the current branch in a non-bare repository via push -------------------------------------------------- [I have been too busy to purge these] * jc/log-tz (2009-03-03) 1 commit. - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected Maybe some people care about this. I dunno. * jc/mailinfo-remove-brackets (2009-07-15) 1 commit. - mailinfo: -b option keeps [bracketed] strings that is not a [PATCH] marker Maybe some people care about this. I dunno. * lt/read-directory (2009-05-15) 3 commits. . Add initial support for pathname conversion to UTF-8 . read_directory(): infrastructure for pathname character set conversion .
