What's cooking in git.git (Nov 2011, #03; Sun, 13)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.
Here are the repositories that have my integration branches:
With maint, master, next, pu, todo:
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 and master:
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:

[New Topics]
* jc/commit-tree-extra (2011-11-12) 2 commits
- commit-tree: teach -C <extra-commit>
- commit-tree: teach -x <extra>
(this branch uses jc/pull-signed-tag; is tangled with jc/signed-commit.)
* nd/resolve-ref (2011-11-13) 2 commits
- Copy resolve_ref() return value for longer use
- Convert many resolve_ref() calls to read_ref*() and ref_exists()
--------------------------------------------------
[Graduated to "master"]
* ab/i18n-test-fix (2011-11-05) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2011-11-06 at f1de9a6)
+ t/t7508-status.sh: use test_i18ncmp
+ t/t6030-bisect-porcelain.sh: use test_i18ngrep
* fc/remote-seturl-usage-fix (2011-11-06) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2011-11-06 at 6c8328c)
+ remote: fix remote set-url usage
* jc/remote-setbranches-usage-fix (2011-11-06) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2011-11-06 at 017606d)
+ remote: fix set-branches usage
* pw/p4-appledouble-fix (2011-11-05) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2011-11-06 at 2ec0af3)
+ git-p4: ignore apple filetype
Regression fix for the upcoming release.
* sn/http-auth-with-netrc-fix (2011-11-04) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2011-11-06 at 60b7f96)
+ http: don't always prompt for password
Regression fix for the upcoming release.
--------------------------------------------------
[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.
* 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
See comments on sr/fix-fast-export-tips topic.
* sr/fix-fast-export-tips (2011-11-05) 3 commits
- fast-export: output reset command for commandline revs
- fast-export: do not refer to non-existing marks
- t9350: point out that refs are not updated correctly
The bottom commit from the stalled sr/transport-helper-fix-rfc topic is
fixed with this. It may make sense to drop the other topic and include
that commit in this series.
The command line parser is still too lax and accepts malformed input, but
this is a step in the right direction and tightening the command line now
should be doable without a low level surgery that touches codepaths that
are unrelated to the command line processing like the previous attempt
used to do.
* 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.
* 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.
* eh/grep-scale-to-cpunum (2011-11-05) 1 commit
- grep: detect number of CPUs for thread spawning
Kills I/O parallelism and needs to be improved or discarded.
* vr/msvc (2011-10-31) 3 commits
- MSVC: Remove unneeded header stubs
- Compile fix for MSVC: Include <io.h>
- Compile fix for MSVC: Do not include sys/resources.h
It seems this needs to be rehashed with msysgit folks.
* na/strtoimax (2011-11-05) 3 commits
- Support sizes >=2G in various config options accepting 'g' sizes.
- Compatibility: declare strtoimax() under NO_STRTOUMAX
- Add strtoimax() compatibility function.
It seems this needs to be rehashed with msysgit folks.
--------------------------------------------------
[Cooking]
* jc/signed-commit (2011-11-12) 4 commits
- pretty: %G[?GS] placeholders
- test "commit -S" and "log --show-signature"
- log: --show-signature
- commit: teach --gpg-sign option
(this branch uses jc/pull-signed-tag; is tangled with jc/commit-tree-extra.)
Rebased on top of jc/pull-signed-tag topic, after reverting the old one
out of 'next'.
* jc/pull-signed-tag (2011-11-12) 15 commits
- commit-tree: teach -m/-F options to read logs from elsewhere
- commit-tree: update the command line parsing
- commit: teach --amend to carry forward extra headers
- merge: force edit and no-ff mode when merging a tag object
- commit: copy merged signed tags to headers of merge commit
- merge: record tag objects without peeling in MERGE_HEAD
- merge: make usage of commit->util more extensible
- fmt-merge-msg: Add contents of merged tag in the merge message
- fmt-merge-msg: package options into a structure
- fmt-merge-msg: avoid early returns
- refs DWIMmery: use the same rule for both "git fetch" and others
- fetch: allow "git fetch $there v1.0" to fetch a tag
- merge: notice local merging of tags and keep it unwrapped
- fetch: do not store peeled tag object names in FETCH_HEAD
- Split GPG interface into its own helper library
(this branch is used by jc/commit-tree-extra and jc/signed-commit.)
Further updated to allow "commit --amend" to retain the mergetag
headers. I think this is ready for the cycle after upcoming 1.7.8.
* ab/clang-lints (2011-11-06) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2011-11-13 at a573aec)
+ cast variable in call to free() in builtin/diff.c and submodule.c
+ apply: get rid of useless x < 0 comparison on a size_t type
Will keep in 'next' during this cycle.
* ab/pull-rebase-config (2011-11-07) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2011-11-13 at 72bb2d5)
+ pull: introduce a pull.rebase option to enable --rebase
Will keep in 'next' during this cycle.
* nd/fsck-progress (2011-11-06) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2011-11-13 at 8831811)
+ fsck: print progress
+ fsck: avoid reading every object twice
+ verify_packfile(): check as many object as possible in a pack
+ fsck: return error code when verify_pack() goes wrong
Will keep in 'next' during this cycle.
* nd/prune-progress (2011-11-07) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2011-11-13 at c5722ac)
+ reachable: per-object progress
+ prune: handle --progress/no-progress
+ prune: show progress while marking reachable objects
Will keep in 'next' during this cycle.
* jc/stream-to-pack (2011-11-03) 4 commits
- Bulk check-in
- finish_tmp_packfile(): a helper function
- create_tmp_packfile(): a helper function
- write_pack_header(): a helper function
Teaches "git add" to send large-ish blob data straight to a packfile.
This is a continuation to the "large file support" topic. I think this
codepath to move data from worktree to repository needs to become aware of
streaming, just like the checkout codepath that goes the other way, which
was done in the previous "large file support" topic in the 1.7.7 cycle.
* jn/gitweb-side-by-side-diff (2011-10-31) 8 commits
- gitweb: Add navigation to select side-by-side diff
- gitweb: Use href(-replay=>1,...) for formats links in "commitdiff"
- t9500: Add basic sanity tests for side-by-side diff in gitweb
- t9500: Add test for handling incomplete lines in diff by gitweb
- gitweb: Give side-by-side diff extra CSS styling
- gitweb: Add a feature to show side-by-side diff
- gitweb: Extract formatting of diff chunk header
- gitweb: Refactor diff body line classification
Replaces a series from Kato Kazuyoshi on the same topic.
* mf/curl-select-fdset (2011-11-04) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2011-11-06 at a49516f)
+ http: drop "local" member from request struct
+ http.c: Rely on select instead of tracking whether data was received
+ http.c: Use timeout suggested by curl instead of fixed 50ms timeout
+ http.c: Use curl_multi_fdset to select on curl fds instead of just sleeping
Reduces unnecessary waits.
* nd/misc-cleanups (2011-10-27) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2011-10-28 at 2527a49)
+ unpack_object_header_buffer(): clear the size field upon error
+ tree_entry_interesting: make use of local pointer "item"
+ tree_entry_interesting(): give meaningful names to return values
+ read_directory_recursive: reduce one indentation level
+ get_tree_entry(): do not call find_tree_entry() on an empty tree
+ tree-walk.c: do not leak internal structure in tree_entry_len()
These are unquestionably good parts taken out of a larger series, so that
we can focus more on the other changes in later rounds of review.
Will keep in 'next' during this cycle.
* rs/allocate-cache-entry-individually (2011-10-26) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2011-10-27 at 2e4acd6)

+ read-cache.c: allocate index entries individually
Will keep in 'next' during this cycle.

+ is_refname_available(): reimplement using do_for_each_ref_in_array()
+ names_conflict(): simplify implementation
+ names_conflict(): new function, extracted from is_refname_available()
+ repack_without_ref(): reimplement using do_for_each_ref_in_array()
+ do_for_each_ref_in_array(): new function
+ do_for_each_ref(): correctly terminate while processesing extra_refs
+ add_ref(): take a (struct ref_entry *) parameter
+ create_ref_entry(): extract function from add_ref()
+ parse_ref_line(): add a check that the refname is properly formatted
+ repack_without_ref(): remove temporary
+ Rename another local variable name -> refname
(this branch uses mh/ref-api-2.)
Will keep in 'next' during this cycle.
* rr/revert-cherry-pick (2011-10-23) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2011-10-26 at 27b7496)
+ revert: simplify communicating command-line arguments
+ revert: allow mixed pick and revert instructions
+ revert: make commit subjects in insn sheet optional

The internals of "git revert/cherry-pick" has been further refactored to
serve as the basis for the sequencer.
Will keep in 'next' during this cycle.
* cb/daemon-permission-errors (2011-10-17) 2 commits
- daemon: report permission denied error to clients
- daemon: add tests
The tip commit might be loosening things a bit too much.
Will keep in 'pu' until hearing a convincing argument for the patch.
* mh/ref-api-2 (2011-10-17) 14 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2011-10-19 at cc89f0e)

+ 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 is used by mh/ref-api-3.)
Will keep in 'next' during this cycle.
* sg/complete-refs (2011-10-21) 9 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2011-10-26 at d65e2b4)
