Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.
Many topics in flight are now in 'next' and all of them look more or
less done (knock wood). Many fixes that are already in 'master' are
now merged down to the 'maint' branch and 1.7.11.2 has been tagged.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the
repositories listed at
http://git-blame.blogspot.com/p/git-public-repositories.html
--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]
* jc/maint-filter-branch-epoch-date (2012-07-09) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-10 at f9774ca)
+ filter-branch: do not forget the '@' prefix to force git-timestamp
In 1.7.9 era, we taught "git rebase" about the raw timestamp format
but we did not teach the same trick to "filter-branch", which rolled
a similar logic on its own.
* jk/maint-commit-amend-only-no-paths (2012-07-10) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-10 at 1c650c2)
+ commit: fix "--amend --only" with no pathspec
"git commit --amend --only --" was meant to allow "Clever" people to
rewrite the commit message without making any change even when they
have already changes for the next commit added to their index, but
it never worked as advertised since it was introduced in 1.3.0 era.
* jk/index-pack-streaming-fix (2012-07-10) 1 commit
- index-pack: loop while inflating objects in unpack_data
This needs to go to 'master' soonish.
* mb/remote-default-nn-origin (2012-07-11) 6 commits
- Teach get_default_remote to respect remote.default.
- Test that plain "git fetch" uses remote.default when on a detached HEAD.
- Teach clone to set remote.default.
- Teach "git remote" about remote.default.
- Teach remote.c about the remote.default configuration setting.
- Rename remote.c's default_remote_name static variables.
* tg/ce-namelen-field (2012-07-11) 2 commits
- Strip namelen out of ce_flags into a ce_namelen field
- Merge branch 'tg/maint-cache-name-compare' into tg/ce-namelen-field
(this branch uses tg/maint-cache-name-compare.)
* tg/maint-cache-name-compare (2012-07-11) 1 commit
- cache_name_compare(): do not truncate while comparing paths
(this branch is used by tg/ce-namelen-field.)
--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]
* jc/maint-push-refs-all (2012-05-04) 2 commits
- get_fetch_map(): tighten checks on dest refs
- fetch/push: allow refs/*:refs/*
Allows pushing and fetching refs/stash.
There still seem to be other bugs hiding (e.g. try pushing twice).
Not ready.
* jc/split-blob (2012-04-03) 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
- packfile: use varint functions
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 :-(.

"git apply" learns to wiggle the base version and perform three-way merge
when a patch does not exactly apply to the version you have.
* jl/submodule-rm (2012-07-05) 2 commits
- rm: remove submodules from the index and the .gitmodules file
- rm: don't fail when removing populated submodules

(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-10 at c6ef8f9)
+ git p4: notice Jobs lines in git commit messages

* ar/clone-honor-umask-at-top (2012-07-09) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-10 at 680bc22)
+ add: create ADD_EDIT.patch with mode 0666
+ rerere: make rr-cache fanout directory honor umask
+ Restore umasks influence on the permissions of work tree created by clone
A handful of files and directories we create had tighter than
necessary permission bits when the user wanted to have group
writability (e.g. by setting "umask 002").
* jn/vcs-svn (2012-07-05) 12 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-09 at 1d97a8f)

(this branch uses mm/mediawiki-file-attachments.)
Will merge to 'master'.
* ph/stash-rerere (2012-07-08) 2 commits
- stash: invoke rerere in case of conflict
- test: git-stash conflict sets up rerere
Will be rerolled but is going in the right direction.

(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-10 at 87755d8)
+ Replace strlen() with ce_namelen()
Trivially correct clean-up and micro optimization.
Will merge to 'master'.

* cw/amend-commit-without-message (2012-07-09) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-10 at e7c75d5)
+ Allow edit of empty message with commit --amend
"commit --amend" used to refuse amending a commit with an empty log
message, with or without "--allow-empty-message".
* jk/push-delete-ref-error-message (2012-07-03) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-09 at 82c6bd2)
+ push: don't guess at qualifying remote refs on deletion
The error message from "git push $there :bogo" mentioned we tried
and failed to guess what ref is being deleted based on the LHS of
the refspec, which we don't.
* tb/sanitize-decomposed-utf-8-pathname (2012-07-08) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-09 at 61b12c2)
+ git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode
Teaches git to normalize pathnames read from readdir(3) and all
arguments from the command line into precomposed UTF-8 (assuming
that they come as decomposed UTF-8) to work around issues on Mac OS.
I think there still are other places that need conversion
(e.g. paths that are read from stdin for some commands), but this
should be a good first step in the right direction.
Will merge to 'master'.
* cw/rebase-i-root (2012-07-05) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-05 at aeb4c56)
+ t3404: make test 57 work with dash and others
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-03 at 231c0a4)
+ Add tests for rebase -i --root without --onto
+ rebase -i: support --root without --onto
"git rebase [-i] --root $tip" can now be used to rewrite all the
history down to the root.
* mm/mediawiki-file-attachments (2012-07-04) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-09 at 4b85fa2)
+ git-remote-mediawiki: improve support for non-English Wikis
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-03 at 90f2f45)
+ git-remote-mediawiki: import "File:" attachments
+ git-remote-mediawiki: split get_mw_pages into smaller functions
+ git-remote-mediawiki: send "File:" attachments to a remote wiki
+ git-remote-mediawiki: don't "use encoding 'utf8';"
+ git-remote-mediawiki: don't compute the diff when getting commit message
(this branch is used by mm/mediawiki-tests.)
"mediawiki" remote helper (in contrib/) learned to handle file
attachments.
Will merge to 'master'.
* mz/rebase-no-mbox (2012-06-26) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-03 at 5bf5c12)
+ am: don't call mailinfo if $rebasing
+ am --rebasing: get patch body from commit, not from mailbox
+ rebase --root: print usage on too many args
+ rebase: don't source git-sh-setup twice
Teach "am --rebasing" codepath to grab authorship, log message and
the patch text directly out of existing commits. This will help
rebasing commits that have confusing "diff" output in their log
messages.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jc/refactor-diff-stdin (2012-06-28) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-09 at ef407ee)
+ diff-index.c: "git diff" has no need to read blob from the standard input
+ diff-index.c: unify handling of command line paths
+ diff-index.c: do not pretend paths are pathspecs
Due to the way "git diff --no-index" is bolted onto by touching the
low level code that is shared with the rest of the "git diff" code,
even though it has to work in a very different way, any comparison
that involves a file "-" at the root level incorrectly tried to read
from the standard input. This cleans up the no-index codepath
further to remove code that reads from the standard input from the
core side, which is never necessary when git is running its usual
diff operation.
Will merge to 'master', and later down to older maintenance releases.
* lt/commit-tree-guess-utf-8 (2012-06-28) 1 commit
- commit/commit-tree: correct latin1 to utf-8
Teaches "git commit" and "git commit-tree" the "we are told to use
utf-8 in log message, but this does not look like utf-8---attempt to
pass it through convert-from-latin1-to-utf8 and see if it makes
sense" heuristics "git mailinfo" already uses.
A draft from Linus received privately without a log message.
Hopefully it will be rerolled.
* jc/test-lib-source-build-options-early (2012-06-24) 1 commit
- test-lib: reorder and include GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS a lot earlier
Reorders t/test-lib.sh so that we dot-source GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS that
records the shell and Perl the user told us to use with Git a lot
early, so that test-lib.sh script itself can use "$PERL_PATH" in
one of its early operations.
Needs to be eyeballed by people who run tests with exotic options
like valgrind, --root=/dev/shm/somewhere, etc.
* jc/sha1-name-more (2012-07-09) 25 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-10 at 669dd92)
+ rev-parse --disambiguate=<prefix>
+ rev-parse: A and B in "rev-parse A..B" refer to committish
+ reset: the command takes committish
+ commit-tree: the command wants a tree and commits
+ apply: --build-fake-ancestor expects blobs
+ sha1_name.c: add support for disambiguating other types
+ revision.c: the "log" family, except for "show", takes committish
+ revision.c: allow handle_revision_arg() to take other flags
+ sha1_name.c: introduce get_sha1_committish()
+ sha1_name.c: teach lookup context to get_sha1_with_context()
+ sha1_name.c: many short names can only be committish
+ sha1_name.c: get_sha1_1() takes lookup flags
+ sha1_name.c: get_describe_name() by definition groks only commits
+ sha1_name.c: teach get_short_sha1() a commit-only option
+ sha1_name.c: allow get_short_sha1() to take other flags
+ get_sha1(): fix error status regression
+ sha1_name.c: restructure disambiguation of short names
+ sha1_name.c: correct misnamed "canonical" and "res"
+ sha1_name.c: refactor find_short_packed_object()
+ sha1_name.c: rename "now" to "current"
+ sha1_name.c: clarify what "fake" is for in find_short_object_filename()
+ sha1_name.c: get rid of get_sha1_with_mode()
+ sha1_name.c: get rid of get_sha1_with_mode_1()
+ sha1_name.c: hide get_sha1_with_context_1() ugliness
+ sha1_name.c: indentation fix
Teaches the object name parser things like a "git describe" output
is always a commit object, "A" in "git log A" must be a committish,
and "A" and "B" in "git log A...B" both must be committish, etc., to
prolong the lifetime of abbreviated object names.
* tr/maint-show-walk (2012-06-19) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-07-09 at c8e0e06)
+ show: fix "range implies walking"
+ Demonstrate git-show is broken with ranges
Fixes "git show"'s auto-walking behaviour, and make it behave just
like "git log" does when it walks.
Note that this is different from Thomas's patch.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jk/no-more-pre-exec-callback (2012-06-05) 1 commit
- pager: drop "wait for output to run less" hack
Will defer for 6 months until ancient "less" goes extinct.
* mm/push-default-switch-warning (2012-06-24) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-06-26 at fea512a)
+ push: start warning upcoming default change for push.default
Will defer for another cycle.
