What's cooking in git.git (Oct 2011, #06; Tue, 18) -------------------------------------------------- Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The fourth batch of topics have graduated to the master branch. This batch ended up to be mostly fixes, as can be seen in the updates in the RelNotes file. These topics will be further merged down to the maint branch for the 1.7.7.1 maintenance release. Here are the repositories that have my integration branches: With maint, master, next, pu, todo, html and man: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git https://code.google.com/p/git-core/ https://github.com/git/git With only maint, master, html and man: git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core With all the topics and integration branches but not todo, html or man: https://github.com/gitster/git By the way, I am planning to stop pushing the generated documentation branches to the above repositories in the near term, as they are not sources. The only reason the source repository at k.org has hosted these branches was because it was the only repository over there that was writable by me; it was an ugly historical and administrative workaround and not a demonstration of the best practice. They are pushed to their own separate repositories instead: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-{htmldocs,manpages}.git/ git://repo.or.cz/git-{htmldocs,manpages}.git/ https://code.google.com/p/git-{htmldocs,manpages}.git/ https://github.com/gitster/git-{htmldocs,manpages}.git/ -------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to "master"] * bc/attr-ignore-case (2011-10-11) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-11 at daa6b51) + attr.c: respect core.ignorecase when matching attribute patterns + attr: read core.attributesfile from git_default_core_config + builtin/mv.c: plug miniscule memory leak + cleanup: use internal memory allocation wrapper functions everywhere + attr.c: avoid inappropriate access to strbuf "buf" member * ef/mingw-syslog (2011-10-07) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-11 at d5d6945) + mingw: avoid using strbuf in syslog * jc/checkout-from-tree-keep-local-changes (2011-09-30) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-06 at 64061aa) + checkout $tree $path: do not clobber local changes in $path not in $tree Originally merged to 'next' on 2011-10-05. * jk/config-test-cleanup (2011-10-12) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-12 at 7c857dd) + t1300: test mixed-case variable retrieval + t1300: put git invocations inside test function * jk/http-auth (2011-10-15) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-15 at 2ff0053) + http_init: accept separate URL parameter + http: use hostname in credential description + http: retry authentication failures for all http requests + remote-curl: don't retry auth failures with dumb protocol + improve httpd auth tests + url: decode buffers that are not NUL-terminated (this branch is tangled with jk/http-auth-keyring and js/cred-macos-x-keychain-2.) Michael helped resurrecting uncontentious bits from the credential series. * jk/name-hash-dirent (2011-10-07) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-11 at e2ea68b) + fix phantom untracked files when core.ignorecase is set * jk/pull-rebase-with-work-tree (2011-10-13) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-15 at 2707482) + pull,rebase: handle GIT_WORK_TREE better * js/bisect-no-checkout (2011-09-21) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-06 at 0354e94) + bisect: fix exiting when checkout failed in bisect_start() Originally merged to 'next' on 2011-09-21. * js/check-ref-format-test-mingw (2011-10-13) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-15 at fbc2ee6) + t1402-check-ref-format: skip tests of refs beginning with slash on Windows * mm/maint-config-explicit-bool-display (2011-10-10) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-11 at 795939f) + config: display key_delim for config --bool --get-regexp * ph/push-to-delete-nothing (2011-09-30) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-06 at 33ac777) + receive-pack: don't pass non-existent refs to post-{receive,update} hooks * sg/completion (2011-10-10) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-11 at 4724640) + completion: unite --format and --pretty for 'log' and 'show' + completion: unite --reuse-message and --reedit-message for 'notes' (this branch is used by sg/complete-refs; uses tm/completion-commit-fixup-squash.) * tc/fetch-leak (2011-10-07) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-11 at d867153) + fetch: plug two leaks on error exit in store_updated_refs * tm/completion-commit-fixup-squash (2011-10-06) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-11 at 6bb192e) + completion: commit --fixup and --squash + completion: unite --reuse-message and --reedit-message handling (this branch is used by sg/complete-refs and sg/completion.) * tm/completion-push-set-upstream (2011-10-06) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-11 at 85544e5) + completion: push --set-upstream (this branch is used by sg/complete-refs.) -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * md/smtp-tls-hello-again (2011-10-15) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-16 at 3e27de4) + send-email: Honour SMTP domain when using TLS Will merge to 'master' soonish. * pt/mingw-misc-fixes (2011-10-15) 7 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-16 at 2dc0b55) + t9901: fix line-ending dependency on windows + mingw: ensure sockets are initialized before calling gethostname + mergetools: use the correct tool for Beyond Compare 3 on Windows + t9300: do not run --cat-blob-fd related tests on MinGW + git-svn: On MSYS, escape and quote SVN_SSH also if set by the user + t9001: do not fail only due to CR/LF issues + t1020: disable the pwd test on MinGW Will merge to 'master' soonish. * pw/p4-update (2011-10-17) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-17 at f69f6cc) + git-p4: handle files with shell metacharacters + git-p4: keyword flattening fixes + git-p4: stop ignoring apple filetype + git-p4: recognize all p4 filetypes + git-p4: handle utf16 filetype properly + git-p4 tests: refactor and cleanup Will merge to 'master' in the fifth wave. * cn/doc-config-bare-subsection (2011-10-16) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-17 at a6412d4) + Documentation: update [section.subsection] to reflect what git does Will merge to 'master' in the fifth wave. * cb/daemon-permission-errors (2011-10-17) 2 commits - daemon: report permission denied error to clients - daemon: add tests (this branch uses jk/daemon-msgs.) The tip commit might be loosening things a bit too much. Will keep in 'pu' until hearing a convincing argument for the patch. * cb/httpd-test-fix-port (2011-10-17) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-17 at 84fb7e6) + use test number as port number Will merge to 'master' soonish. * jc/verbose-checkout (2011-10-16) 2 commits - checkout -v: give full status output after switching branches - checkout: move the local changes report to the end This is just to leave a record that the reason why we do not do this not because we are incapable of coding this, but because it is not a good idea to do this. I suspect people who are new to git that might think they need it would soon realize the don't. Will keep in 'pu' as a showcase for a while and then will drop. * kk/gitweb-side-by-side-diff (2011-10-17) 2 commits - gitweb: add a feature to show side-by-side diff - gitweb: change format_diff_line() to remove leading SP from $diff_class Fun. Will keep in 'pu' until the planned re-roll comes. * mh/ref-api-2 (2011-10-17) 14 commits - resolve_gitlink_ref_recursive(): change to work with struct ref_cache - Pass a (ref_cache *) to the resolve_gitlink_*() helper functions - resolve_gitlink_ref(): improve docstring - get_ref_dir(): change signature - refs: change signatures of get_packed_refs() and get_loose_refs() - is_dup_ref(): extract function from sort_ref_array() - add_ref(): add docstring - parse_ref_line(): add docstring - is_refname_available(): remove the "quiet" argument - clear_ref_array(): rename from free_ref_array() - refs: rename parameters result -> sha1 - refs: rename "refname" variables - struct ref_entry: document name member - cache.h: add comments for git_path() and git_path_submodule() (this branch uses mh/ref-api.) Will merge to 'next'. * po/insn-editor (2011-10-17) 1 commit - "rebase -i": support special-purpose editor to edit insn sheet Will merge to 'next'. * dm/pack-objects-update (2011-10-18) 4 commits - pack-objects: don't traverse objects unnecessarily - pack-objects: rewrite add_descendants_to_write_order() iteratively - pack-objects: use unsigned int for counter and offset values - pack-objects: mark add_to_write_order() as inline * jk/git-tricks (2011-10-18) 3 commits - completion: match ctags symbol names in grep patterns - contrib: add git-jump script - contrib: add diff highlight script * jc/make-tags (2011-10-18) 1 commit - Makefile: ask "ls-files" to list source files if available -------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * hv/submodule-merge-search (2011-10-13) 4 commits - submodule.c: make two functions static - allow multiple calls to submodule merge search for the same path - push: Don't push a repository with unpushed submodules - push: teach --recurse-submodules the on-demand option What the topic aims to achieve may make sense, but the implementation looked somewhat suboptimal. The fix-up at the tip queued on fg/submodule-auto-push topic has been moved to this topic. * sr/transport-helper-fix-rfc (2011-07-19) 2 commits - t5800: point out that deleting branches does not work - t5800: document inability to push new branch with old content Perhaps 281eee4 (revision: keep track of the end-user input from the command line, 2011-08-25) would help. * rr/revert-cherry-pick (2011-10-12) 7 commits - revert: further simplify parsing of a line in insn sheet - revert: Simplify passing command-line arguments around - revert: Allow mixed pick and revert instructions - revert: Make commit descriptions in insn sheet optional - revert: Fix buffer overflow in insn sheet parser - revert: Simplify getting commit subject - revert: Free memory after get_message call Probably needs a little bit more polish, e.g. squashing the tip fixup into an earlier one in the series. * jc/signed-commit (2011-10-05) 4 commits - commit: teach --gpg-sign option - Split GPG interface into its own helper library - rename "match_refs()" to "match_push_refs()" - send-pack: typofix error message This is to replace the earlier "signed push" experiments. "verify-tag" equivalent needs to be written before this can proceed. I suspect that teaching "verify-tag" to notice and also handle signed commits would be the easiest, but "git tag --verify $commit" might look slightly funny from the UI POV. I dunno. * jc/lookup-object-hash (2011-08-11) 6 commits - object hash: replace linear probing with 4-way cuckoo hashing - object hash: we know the table size is a power of two - object hash: next_size() helper for readability - pack-objects --count-only - object.c: remove duplicated code for object hashing - object.c: code movement for readability I do not think there is anything fundamentally wrong with this series, but the risk of breakage far outweighs observed performance gain in one particular workload. -------------------------------------------------- [Cooking] * mh/ref-api (2011-10-16) 7 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-17 at 219000f) + clear_ref_cache(): inline function + write_ref_sha1(): only invalidate the loose ref cache + clear_ref_cache(): extract two new functions + clear_ref_cache(): rename parameter + invalidate_ref_cache(): expose this function in the refs API + invalidate_ref_cache(): take the submodule as parameter + invalidate_ref_cache(): rename function from invalidate_cached_refs() (this branch is used by mh/ref-api-2.) Will merge to 'master' in the sixth wave. * jn/gitweb-manpages (2011-10-16) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-16 at 6555a07) + gitweb: Add gitweb manpages to 'gitweb' package in git.spec + Documentation: Add gitweb config variables to git-config(1) + Documentation: Link to gitweb(1) and gitweb.conf(5) in other manpages + gitweb: Add gitweb(1) manpage for gitweb itself + gitweb: Add gitweb.conf(5) manpage for gitweb configuration files Will merge to 'master' soonish. * jm/maint-apply-detects-corrupt-patch-header (2011-10-12) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-12 at 80d9503) + fix "git apply --index ..." not to deref NULL Will merge to 'master' soonish. * bk/submodule-in-recursive-merge (2011-10-13) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-15 at e02205c) + submodule: Search for merges only at end of recursive merge + submodule: Demonstrate known breakage during recursive merge Brad helped resurrecting good bits earlier tangled in the stalled topic hv/submodule-merge-search by mistake. Will merge to 'master' soonish. * sg/complete-refs (2011-10-15) 10 commits - completion: remove broken dead code from __git_heads() and __git_tags() - completion: fast initial completion for config 'remote.*.fetch' value - completion: improve ls-remote output filtering in __git_refs_remotes() - completion: query only refs/heads/ in __git_refs_remotes() - completion: support full refs from remote repositories - completion: improve ls-remote output filtering in __git_refs() - completion: make refs completion consistent for local and remote repos - completion: optimize refs completion - completion: document __gitcomp() - Merge branches 'tm/completion-push-set-upstream', 'tm/completion-commit-fixup-squash' and 'sg/completion' into HEAD Rerolled. Will keep in 'pu' until an Ack or two from people who have worked on the completion in the past comes. * jc/unseekable-bundle (2011-10-13) 2 commits - bundle: add parse_bundle_header() helper function - bundle: allowing to read from an unseekable fd I am not entirely happy with the first patch but it is not so bad either. Will merge to 'next'. * jk/daemon-msgs (2011-10-15) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-15 at 415cf53) + daemon: give friendlier error messages to clients (this branch is used by cb/daemon-permission-errors.) Will merge to 'master' in the fifth wave. * jk/maint-pack-objects-compete-with-delete (2011-10-14) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-15 at 49479e4) + downgrade "packfile cannot be accessed" errors to warnings + pack-objects: protect against disappearing packs Will merge to 'master' in the fifth wave. * cn/fetch-prune (2011-10-15) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-16 at 02a449e) + fetch: treat --tags like refs/tags/*:refs/tags/* when pruning + fetch: honor the user-provided refspecs when pruning refs + remote: separate out the remote_find_tracking logic into query_refspecs + t5510: add tests for fetch --prune + fetch: free all the additional refspecs Will merge to 'master' in the sixth wave. * js/merge-edit-option (2011-10-12) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-12 at db28da3) + Teach merge the '[-e|--edit]' option Will merge to 'master' in the fifth wave. * rs/diff-whole-function (2011-10-10) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-11 at 6196752) + diff: add option to show whole functions as context + xdiff: factor out get_func_line() Will merge to 'master' in the fifth wave. * rs/pickaxe (2011-10-07) 7 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-11 at 27d02b2) + pickaxe: factor out pickaxe + pickaxe: give diff_grep the same signature as has_changes + pickaxe: pass diff_options to contains and has_changes + pickaxe: factor out has_changes + pickaxe: plug regex/kws leak + pickaxe: plug regex leak + pickaxe: plug diff filespec leak with empty needle Will merge to 'master' in the fifth wave. * sc/difftool-skip (2011-10-14) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-14 at b91c581) + t7800: avoid arithmetic expansion notation (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-11 at 38d7e84) + git-difftool: allow skipping file by typing 'n' at prompt Will merge to 'master' in the fifth wave. * jc/check-ref-format-fixup (2011-10-12) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-15 at 8e89bc5) + Restrict ref-like names immediately below $GIT_DIR + refs.c: move dwim_ref()/dwim_log() from sha1_name.c An attempt to fix-up unfortunate side effect of mh/check-ref-format-3 topic. "git show -s config" is never meant to refer to $GIT_DIR/config and treat it as a file that records an object name. Will merge to 'master' soonish so that we can have enough time to deal with possible fall-outs. * jc/maint-remove-renamed-ref (2011-10-12) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-12 at 819c3e4) + branch -m/-M: remove undocumented RENAMED-REF Will merge to 'master' in the sixth wave. * js/no-cherry-pick-head-after-punted (2011-10-06) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-10 at acb29ee) + Merge branch 'js/maint-no-cherry-pick-head-after-punted' into js/no-cherry-pick-head-after-punted (this branch uses js/maint-no-cherry-pick-head-after-punted.) Will merge to 'master' in the fifth wave. * js/maint-no-cherry-pick-head-after-punted (2011-10-06) 2 commits + cherry-pick: do not give irrelevant advice when cherry-pick punted + revert.c: defer writing CHERRY_PICK_HEAD till it is safe to do so (this branch is used by js/no-cherry-pick-head-after-punted.) Will merge to 'maint' later. * js/log-show-children (2011-10-04) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-06 at de8f6f2) + log --children Will merge to 'master' in the fifth wave. * ph/transport-with-gitfile (2011-10-11) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-12 at 6d58417) + Fix is_gitfile() for files too small or larger than PATH_MAX to be a gitfile (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-06 at 891b8b6) + Add test showing git-fetch groks gitfiles + Teach transport about the gitfile mechanism + Learn to handle gitfiles in enter_repo + enter_repo: do not modify input Will merge to 'master' in the fifth wave. * jc/request-pull-show-head-4 (2011-10-15) 11 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-15 at 7e340ff) + fmt-merge-msg.c: Fix an "dubious one-bit signed bitfield" sparse error (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-10 at 092175e) + environment.c: Fix an sparse "symbol not declared" warning + builtin/log.c: Fix an "Using plain integer as NULL pointer" warning (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-07 at fcaeca0) + fmt-merge-msg: use branch.$name.description (merged to 'next' on 2011-10-06 at fa5e0fe) + request-pull: use the branch description + request-pull: state what commit to expect + request-pull: modernize style + branch: teach --edit-description option + format-patch: use branch description in cover letter + branch: add read_branch_desc() helper function + Merge branch 'bk/ancestry-path' into jc/branch-desc Will merge to 'master' in the sixth wave. -------------------------------------------------- [Discarded] * jk/http-auth-keyring (2011-10-12) 19 commits . http_init: accept separate URL parameter . credential-cache: don't cache items without context . check_expirations: don't copy over same element . t0300: add missing EOF terminator for << . credential-store: use a better storage format . t0300: make alternate username tests more robust . t0300: make askpass tests a little more robust . credential-cache: fix expiration calculation corner cases . docs: minor tweaks to credentials API . credentials: make credential_fill_gently() static . credentials: add "getpass" helper . credentials: add "store" helper . credentials: add "cache" helper . docs: end-user documentation for the credential subsystem . http: use hostname in credential description . allow the user to configure credential helpers . look for credentials in config before prompting . http: use credential API to get passwords . introduce credentials API (this branch is used by js/cred-macos-x-keychain-2.)
