What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2011, #06; Sun, 30)

[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'.

1.7.4 is out. I'd like to stop and calm the tree down for a few days
so that we can catch any brown-paper-bag bugs before moving things
forward, and then open the floodgate for the next cycle, which I am
inclined to designate as "We would have done these differently if we
were creating git from scratch with the experience we have and wisdom
we have gained" cycle, allowing minor backward incompatibilities,
somewhat like 1.6.0 but not so drastic.  The result would probably
be called 1.8.0--the details in a separate message.

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

* jc/fsck-fixes (2011-01-26) 2 commits
 - fsck: do not give up too early in fsck_dir()
 - fsck: drop unused parameter from traverse_one_object()

--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]

* nd/index-doc (2010-09-06) 1 commit
 - doc: technical details about the index file format

Half-written but it is a good start.  I may need to give some help in
describing more recent index extensions.

* cb/ignored-paths-are-precious (2010-08-21) 1 commit
 - checkout/merge: optionally fail operation when ignored files need to be overwritten

This needs tests; also we know of longstanding bugs in related area that
needs to be addressed---they do not have to be part of this series but
their reproduction recipe would belong to the test script for this topic.

It would hurt users to make the new feature on by default, especially the
ones with subdirectories that come and go.

* jk/tag-contains (2010-07-05) 4 commits
 - Why is "git tag --contains" so slow?
 - default core.clockskew variable to one day
 - limit "contains" traversals based on commit timestamp
 - tag: speed up --contains calculation

The idea of the bottom one is probably Ok, except that the use of object
flags needs to be rethought, or at least the helper needs to be moved to
builtin/tag.c to make it clear that it should not be used outside the
current usage context.

* jc/rename-degrade-cc-to-c (2011-01-06) 3 commits
 - diffcore-rename: fall back to -C when -C -C busts the rename limit
 - diffcore-rename: record filepair for rename src
 - diffcore-rename: refactor "too many candidates" logic

IIRC, this was a weather-baloon "if you wanted to, this may be how you
would do it" without test updates.  People who care need to help moving
things forward.

* jc/rerere-remaining (2011-01-06) 1 commit
 - rerere "remaining"

Just a handful of weatherballoon patches without proper tests, in response
to feature/minor fix requests.

* ab/p4 (2011-01-11) 1 commit
 - git-p4: correct indenting and formatting

Lacks sign-off but is trivial.

* tr/maint-branch-no-track-head (2010-12-14) 1 commit
 - branch: do not attempt to track HEAD implicitly

Probably needs a re-roll to exclude either (1) any ref outside the
hierarchies for branches (i.e. refs/{heads,remotes}/), or (2) only refs
outside refs/ hierarchies (e.g. HEAD, ORIG_HEAD, ...).  The latter feels
safer and saner.

* hv/mingw-fs-funnies (2010-12-14) 5 commits
 - mingw_rmdir: set errno=ENOTEMPTY when appropriate
 - mingw: add fallback for rmdir in case directory is in use
 - mingw: make failures to unlink or move raise a question
 - mingw: work around irregular failures of unlink on windows
 - mingw: move unlink wrapper to mingw.c

Will be rerolled (Heiko, 2010-12-23)

* mz/rebase (2010-12-28) 31 commits
 - rebase -i: remove unnecessary state rebase-root
 - rebase -i: don't read unused variable preserve_merges
 - git-rebase--am: remove unnecessary --3way option
 - rebase -m: don't print exit code 2 when merge fails
 - rebase -m: remember allow_rerere_autoupdate option
 - rebase: remember strategy and strategy options
 - rebase: remember verbose option
 - rebase: extract code for writing basic state
 - rebase: factor out sub command handling
 - rebase: make -v a tiny bit more verbose
 - rebase -i: align variable names
 - rebase: show consistent conflict resolution hint
 - rebase: extract am code to new source file
 - rebase: extract merge code to new source file
 - rebase: remove $branch as synonym for $orig_head
 - rebase -i: support --stat
 - rebase: factor out call to pre-rebase hook
 - rebase: factor out clean work tree check
 - rebase: factor out reference parsing
 - rebase: reorder validation steps
 - rebase -i: remove now unnecessary directory checks
 - rebase: factor out command line option processing
 - rebase: align variable content
 - rebase: align variable names
 - rebase: stricter check of standalone sub command
 - rebase: act on command line outside parsing loop
 - rebase: improve detection of rebase in progress
 - rebase: remove unused rebase state 'prev_head'
 - rebase: read state outside loop
 - rebase: refactor reading of state
 - rebase: clearer names for directory variables

Will be rerolled (Martin, Jan 28).

* nd/struct-pathspec (2010-12-15) 21 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2011-01-24 at 08f1774)
 + t7810: overlapping pathspecs and depth limit

* en/object-list-with-pathspec (2010-09-20) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2011-01-24 at 134f65c)
 + Add testcases showing how pathspecs are handled with rev-list --objects
 + Make rev-list --objects work together with pathspecs
 (this branch uses nd/struct-pathspec.)

I've been toying with the above two topics and am reasonably happy.
I suspect that there could be (and probably need to be) further
consolidation of the two remaining pathspec API, but this seems to
be already usable.

It is getting ridiculously painful to keep re-resolving the conflicts with
other topics in flight, even with the help with rerere.

Needs a bit more minor work to get the basic code structure right.
