What's cooking in git.git (Feb 2012, #01; Fri, 3)
--------------------------------------------------
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]
* nd/diffstat-gramnum (2012-02-03) 1 commit
- Use correct grammar in diffstat summary line
The commands in the "git diff" family and "git apply --stat" that count
the number of files changed and the number of lines inserted/deleted have
been updated to match the output from "diffstat". This also opens the
door to i18n this line.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jx/i18n-more-marking (2012-02-01) 2 commits
- i18n: format_tracking_info "Your branch is behind" message
- i18n: git-commit whence_s "merge/cherry-pick" message
Will merge to 'next'.
* jk/grep-binary-attribute (2012-02-02) 9 commits
- grep: pre-load userdiff drivers when threaded
- grep: load file data after checking binary-ness
- grep: respect diff attributes for binary-ness
- grep: cache userdiff_driver in grep_source
- grep: drop grep_buffer's "name" parameter
- convert git-grep to use grep_source interface
- grep: refactor the concept of "grep source" into an object
- grep: move sha1-reading mutex into low-level code
- grep: make locking flag global
Fixes a longstanding bug that there was no way to tell "git grep" that a
path may look like text but it is not, which "git diff" can do using the
attributes system. Now "git grep" honors the same "binary" (or "-diff")
attribute.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jc/parse-date-raw (2012-02-03) 2 commits
- parse_date(): '@' prefix forces git-timestamp
- parse_date(): allow ancient git-timestamp
"rebase" and "commit --amend" failed to work on commits with ancient
timestamps near year 1970.
Waiting for comments.
* jk/git-dir-lookup (2012-02-02) 1 commit
- standardize and improve lookup rules for external local repos
Will merge to 'next'.
* jk/prompt-fallback-to-tty (2012-02-03) 2 commits
- prompt: fall back to terminal if askpass fails
- prompt: clean up strbuf usage
The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal input when
GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X with GUI askpass
helper).
* jk/tests-write-script (2012-02-03) 2 commits
- t0300: use write_script helper
- tests: add write_script helper function
Will merge to 'next'.
* jn/gitweb-search-utf-8 (2012-02-03) 1 commit
- gitweb: Allow UTF-8 encoded CGI query parameters and path_info
Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jn/rpm-spec (2012-02-03) 1 commit
- git.spec: Workaround localized messages not put in any RPM
Fix breakage in v1.7.9 Makefile; rpmbuild notices an unpackaged but
installed *.mo file and fails.
Will merge to 'next'.
--------------------------------------------------
[Graduated to "master"]
* jc/pull-signed-tag (2012-01-23) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-23 at 4257553)
+ merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions
"git merge" in an interactive session learned to spawn the editor by
default to let the user edit the auto-generated merge message, to
encourage people to explain their merges better. Legacy scripts can
export MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no to retain the historical behaviour.
* tr/merge-edit-guidance (2012-01-31) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-31 at bb678f7)
+ merge: add instructions to the commit message when editing
"git merge" adds advice text to the commit log template when running
interactively.
--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]
* jc/advise-push-default (2011-12-18) 1 commit
- push: hint to use push.default=upstream when appropriate
Peff had a good suggestion outlining an updated code structure so that
somebody new can try to dip his or her toes in the development. Any
takers?
Waiting for a reroll.
* ss/git-svn-prompt-sans-terminal (2012-01-04) 3 commits
- fixup! 15eaaf4
- git-svn, perl/Git.pm: extend Git::prompt helper for querying users
- perl/Git.pm: "prompt" helper to honor GIT_ASKPASS and SSH_ASKPASS
The bottom one has been replaced with a rewrite based on comments from
Ævar. The second one needs more work, both in perl/Git.pm and prompt.c, to
give precedence to tty over SSH_ASKPASS when terminal is available.
* nd/commit-ignore-i-t-a (2012-01-16) 2 commits
- commit, write-tree: allow to ignore CE_INTENT_TO_ADD while writing trees
- cache-tree: update API to take abitrary flags
May want to consider this as fixing an earlier UI mistake, and not as a
feature that devides the userbase.
--------------------------------------------------
[Cooking]
* fc/zsh-completion (2012-02-03) 3 commits
- completion: simplify __gitcomp and __gitcomp_nl implementations
- completion: use ls -1 instead of rolling a loop to do that ourselves
- completion: work around zsh option propagation bug
Fix git subcommand completion for zsh (in contrib/completion).
Will merge to 'next'.
* jc/maint-request-pull-for-tag (2012-01-31) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-02-01 at 7649f18)
+ request-pull: explicitly ask tags/$name to be pulled
When asking for a tag to be pulled, "request-pull" shows the name of the
tag prefixed with "tags/"
* nd/find-pack-entry-recent-cache-invalidation (2012-02-01) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-02-01 at e26aed0)
+ find_pack_entry(): do not keep packed_git pointer locally
+ sha1_file.c: move the core logic of find_pack_entry() into fill_pack_entry()
* nd/pack-objects-parseopt (2012-02-01) 3 commits
- pack-objects: convert to use parse_options()
- pack-objects: remove bogus comment
- pack-objects: do not accept "--index-version=version,"
Will merge to 'next'.
"pack-objects" learned use parse-options, losing custom command line
parsing code.
* bl/gitweb-project-filter (2012-02-01) 8 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-02-01 at 2c96ce7)
+ gitweb: Make project search respect project_filter
+ gitweb: improve usability of projects search form
+ gitweb: place links to parent directories in page header
+ gitweb: show active project_filter in project_list page header
+ gitweb: limit links to alternate forms of project_list to active project_filter
+ gitweb: add project_filter to limit project list to a subdirectory
+ gitweb: prepare git_get_projects_list for use outside 'forks'.
+ gitweb: move hard coded .git suffix out of git_get_projects_list
"gitweb" allows intermediate entries in the directory hierarchy that leads
to a projects to be clicked, which in turn shows the list of projects
inside that directory.
* rt/completion-branch-edit-desc (2012-01-29) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-02-01 at 0627ebf)
+ completion: --edit-description option for git-branch
Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-01-31.
Will merge to 'master'.

"vcs-svn"/"svn-fe" learned to read dumps with svn-deltas and support
incremental imports.
Will merge to 'next' through the tip and then to 'master' soon after.
* jc/split-blob (2012-01-24) 6 commits
- chunked-object: streaming checkout
- chunked-object: fallback checkout codepaths
- bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding
- bulk-checkin: allow the same data to be multiply hashed
- new representation types in the packstream
- varint-in-pack: refactor varint encoding/decoding
Not ready.
I finished the streaming checkout codepath, but as explained in 127b177
(bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding, 2011-11-30), these are
still early steps of a long and painful journey. At least pack-objects and
fsck need to learn the new encoding for the series to be usable locally,
and then index-pack/unpack-objects needs to learn it to be used remotely.
Given that I heard a lot of noise that people want large files, and that I
was asked by somebody at GitTogether'11 privately for an advice on how to
pay developers (not me) to help adding necessary support, I am somewhat
dissapointed that the original patch series that was sent almost two
months ago still remains here without much comments and updates from the
developer community. I even made the interface to the logic that decides
where to split chunks easily replaceable, and I deliberately made the
logic in the original patch extremely stupid to entice others, especially
the "bup" fanboys, to come up with a better logic, thinking that giving
people an easy target to shoot for, they may be encouraged to help
out. The plan is not working :-(.
