What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2012, #07; Wed, 22)

[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' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.

As promised (threatened ;-), the first batch of topics for the next
release are now part of 'master'.  They are mostly innocuous
documentation updates, test clean-ups, and all should eventually go
to the maintenance track.  In addition, the update to git-svn to
make it work better with subversion 1.7 is also included.

I'm planning to keep this cycle reasonably short and aim for tagging
the result as 1.8.0 at the end of 9th week, on October 21st, after
which I'd disappear for a few weeks.  http://tinyurl.com/gitCal is
where you can always find my rough tagging schedule at.

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]

* er/doc-fast-import-done (2012-08-22) 1 commit
 - fast-import: document the --done option

Parked in 'pu' in case ESR responds with "Sorry, forgot to sign-off".

* nd/am-i18n-fix (2012-08-22) 1 commit
 - am: quote string for translation before passing to eval_gettextln

"git am" wasn't marked up for i18n properly.
Will merge to 'next', and eventually to maint-1.7.11 track.

--------------------------------------------------
[Graduated to "master"]

* hv/coding-guidelines (2012-08-15) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at 4984865)
 + Documentation/CodingGuidelines: spell out more shell guidelines

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-18)

In earlier days, "imitate the style in the neibouring code" was
sufficient to keep the coherent style, but over time some parts of
the codebase have drifted enough to make it ineffective.

* jc/doc-git-updates (2012-08-17) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at ab1db71)
 + Documentation: update the introductory section

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-18)

* jc/maint-abbrev-option-cli (2012-08-16) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at 54d1a5a)
 + gitcli: describe abbreviation of long options

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-18)

We did not document that many commands take unique prefix
abbreviations of long options (e.g. "--option" may be the only flag
that the command accepts that begin with "--opt", in which case you
can give "--opt") anywhere easy to find for new people.

* jc/maint-rev-list-topo-doc (2012-08-15) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at 0f669d2)
 + rev-list docs: clarify --topo-order description

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-18)

It was unclear what "--topo-order" was really about in the
documentation. It is not just about "children before parent", but
also about "don't mix lineages".

* jc/tag-doc (2012-08-06) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at 9eb658e)
 + Documentation: do not mention .git/refs/* directories

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-18)

Our documentation used to assume having files in .git/refs/*
directories was the only to have branches and tags, but that is not
true for quite some time.

* jc/test-prereq (2012-08-04) 8 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at dd44c4a)
 + t3910: use the UTF8_NFD_TO_NFC test prereq
 + test-lib: provide UTF8 behaviour as a prerequisite
 + t0050: use the SYMLINKS test prereq
 + t0050: use the CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS test prereq
 + test-lib: provide case insensitivity as a prerequisite
 + test: allow prerequisite to be evaluated lazily
 + test: rename $satisfied to $satisfied_prereq

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-04)

Teaches the test framework to probe rarely used prerequistes lazily,
and make use of it for detecting SYMLINKS, CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS and
NKD/NKC MacOS x gotcha.

* jk/check-docs-update (2012-08-08) 8 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at d51021d)
 + check-docs: get documented command list from Makefile
 + check-docs: drop git-help special-case
 + check-docs: list git-gui as a command
 + check-docs: factor out command-list
 + command-list: mention git-credential-* helpers
 + command-list: add git-sh-i18n
 + check-docs: update non-command documentation list
 + check-docs: mention gitweb specially

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-18)

Simplify "make check-docs" implementation and update its coverage.

* js/gitweb-path-info-unquote (2012-08-15) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at a4aa740)
 + gitweb: URL-decode $my_url/$my_uri when stripping PATH_INFO

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-15)

Stripping of PATH_INFO in gitweb did not take url style quoting into
account, failing to notice directories with funny characters e.g. SP
in their paths.

* mk/test-seq (2012-08-04) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at c373e0e)
 + tests: Introduce test_seq
 (this branch is used by ab/diff-write-incomplete-line.)

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-06)

Add a compatibility/utility function to the test framework. 

* mm/die-with-dashdash-help (2012-08-03) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at ebe0e1a)
 + setup: clarify error messages for file/revisions ambiguity

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-09)

Reword error messages.

* ms/git-svn-1.7 (2012-08-02) 20 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-21 at ae8aff9)
 + git-svn: remove ad-hoc canonicalizations
 + git-svn: canonicalize newly-minted URLs

 + git-svn: move canonicalization to Git::SVN::Utils
 + use Git::SVN{,::RA}->url accessor globally
 + use Git::SVN->path accessor globally
 + Git::SVN::Ra: use accessor for URLs
 + Git::SVN: use accessor for URLs internally
 + Git::SVN: use accessors internally for path

A series by Michael Schwern via Eric to update git-svn to revamp the
way URLs are internally passed around, to make it work with SVN 1.7.

* mv/pull-r-for-rebase (2012-08-17) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at 9743071)
 + man: git pull -r is a short for --rebase

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-18)

A minor documentation update.

* nd/index-errno (2012-08-06) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at 34076c6)
 + read_index_from: remove bogus errno assignments

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-06)

Assignments to errno before calling system functions that used to
matter in the old code were left behind after the code structure
changed sufficiently to make them useless.

* pg/maint-apply-remove-unused-variable (2012-08-05) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at 260975b)
 + apply: delete unused deflate_origlen from patch struct

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-05)

Remove an unused field.

* tr/maint-send-email-2047 (2012-07-31) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at cf5ee1c)
 + send-email: improve RFC2047 quote parsing

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-09)

"git send-email" did not unquote encoded words that appear on the
header correctly, and lost "_" from strings.

* tr/merge-recursive-flush (2012-08-03) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at 00aeb19)
 + merge-recursive: eliminate flush_buffer() in favor of write_in_full()

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-09)

Remove unnecessary code.

* tr/void-diff-setup-done (2012-08-03) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at 2f21f63)
 + diff_setup_done(): return void

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-09)

Remove unnecessary code.

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

* jc/add-delete-default (2012-08-13) 1 commit
 - git add: notice removal of tracked paths by default

"git add dir/" updated modified files and added new files, but does
not notice removed files, which may be "Huh?" to some users.  They
can of course use "git add -A dir/", but why should they?

Resurrected from graveyard, as I thought it was a worthwhile thing
to do in the longer term; waiting for comments.

* tx/relative-in-the-future (2012-08-16) 2 commits
 - date: show relative dates in the future
 - date: refactor the relative date logic from presentation

Not my itch; rewritten an earlier submission by Tom Xue into
somewhat more maintainable form, though it breaks existing i18n.

Anybody interested in fixing it up?  Otherwise may discard.

* pw/p4-submit-conflicts (2012-08-16) 12 commits
 - git p4: add submit --prepare-p4-only option
 - git p4: add submit --dry-run option
 - git p4: accept -v for --verbose
 - git p4: revert deleted files after submit cancel
 - git p4: rearrange submit template construction
 - git p4: test clean-up after failed submit, fix added files
 - git p4: standardize submit cancel due to unchanged template
 - git p4: move conflict prompt into run, use [c]ontinue and [q]uit
 - git p4: remove submit failure options [a]pply and [w]rite
 - git p4: gracefully fail if some commits could not be applied
 - git p4 test: use p4d -L option to suppress log messages
 - git p4 test: remove bash-ism of combined export/assignment

Waiting for the dust to settle.

* mz/rebase-range (2012-07-18) 7 commits
 . rebase (without -p): correctly calculate patches to rebase
 . rebase -p: don't request --left-right only to ignore left side
 . rebase -p: use --cherry-mark for todo file
 . git-rebase--interactive.sh: look up subject in add_pick_line
 . git-rebase--interactive: group all $preserve_merges code
 . git-rebase--interactive.sh: extract function for adding "pick" line
 . git-rebase--am.sh: avoid special-casing --keep-empty

Expecting a reroll.

Performance concerns from Windows folks.  Also the series lacks
proper sign-offs.

* 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

Expecting a reroll.

* 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.

When the user does not specify what remote to interact with, we
often attempt to use 'origin'.  This can now be customized via a
configuration variable.

Expecting a reroll.

"The first remote becomes the default" bit is better done as a
separate step.

* 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 long time 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" fanbois, 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 :-<.

--------------------------------------------------
[Cooking]

* lt/commit-tree-guess-utf-8 (2012-08-21) 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.

Will merge to 'next'.

* kk/maint-for-each-ref-multi-sort (2012-08-21) 2 commits

 - config: warn on inaccessible files

When looking for $HOME/.gitconfig etc., it is OK if we cannot read
them because they do not exist, but unable to read existing ones
need to be diagnosed.

Will merge to 'next'.

 + receive-pack: do not leak output from auto-gc to standard output
 + t/t5400: demonstrate breakage caused by informational message from prune

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-07)

When "git push" triggered the automatic gc on the receiving end, a
message from "git prune" that said it was removing cruft leaked to
the standard output, breaking the communication protocol.

Will merge to 'master' as part of the second batch.

 + docs: monospace listings in docbook output

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-18)

The documentation in the TeXinfo format was using indented output
for materials meant to be examples that are better typeset in
monospace.

Will merge to 'master' as part of the second batch.

* jc/maint-protect-sh-from-ifs (2012-08-08) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at 8b00562)
 + sh-setup: protect from exported IFS

When the user exports a non-default IFS without HT, scripts that
rely on being able to parse "ls-files -s | while read a b c..."
start to fail.  Protect them from such a misconfiguration.

Will merge to 'master' as part of the second batch.

  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at f671bd2)

 (this branch uses jk/version-string.)

Some capabilities were asked by fetch-pack even when upload-pack did
not advertise that they are available.  Fix fetch-pack not to do so.

Will merge to 'master' as part of the second batch.

 + send-pack: fix capability-sending logic
 + include agent identifier in capability string
 (this branch is used by jc/capabilities.)

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-10)

Leftover bits from the "git version" code restructuring, that give
us an ability to expose the Git version over the wire in the
protocol exchange. But we do so carefully only to the other end that
understands it.

Will merge to 'master' as part of the third batch.

 + grep: add a grep.patternType configuration setting

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-09)

"grep" learned to use a non-standard pattern type by default if a
configuration variable tells it to.

 + Fix '\ No newline...' annotation in rewrite diffs

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-07)

The output from "git diff -B" for a file that ends with an
incomplete line did not put "\ No newline..." on a line of its own.

  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at 0d76cf2)
 + sane_execvp(): ignore non-directory on $PATH

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-09)

"git foo" errored out with "Not a directory" when the user had a non
directory on $PATH, and worse yet it masked an alias "foo" to run.

* cw/cherry-pick-allow-empty-message (2012-08-06) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at 0dc0590)
 + cherry-pick: add --allow-empty-message option

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-08-09)

"git cherry-pick" by default stops when it sees a commit without any
log message.  The "--allow-empty-message" option can be used to
silently proceed.

* jk/maint-diff-nul40-as-sentinel (2012-07-29) 1 commit
 + diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel value
 (this branch is used by jk/maint-null-in-trees.)

"git diff" had a confusion between taking data from a path in the
working tree and taking data from an object that happens to have
name 0{40} recorded in a tree.

* mz/cherry-code-cleanup (2012-07-29) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at bfb0457)

* jc/maint-config-exit-status (2012-07-30) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at e18ddd8)
 + config: "git config baa" should exit with status 1

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-07-30)

The exit status code from "git config" was way overspecified while
being incorrect.  Update the implementation to give the documented
status for a case that was documented, and introduce a new code for
"all other errors".

 (this branch uses jk/maint-diff-nul40-as-sentinel.)

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-07-30)

We do not want a link to 0{40} object stored anywhere in our objects.

Will merge to 'master' as part of the second batch.

 - pager: drop "wait for output to run less" hack

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-07-23)

Will defer until the end of the 2012,
waiting for older "less" to go extinct.

* mm/push-default-switch-warning (2012-06-24) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-20 at 553e6c0)
 + push: start warning upcoming default change for push.default

(Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-06-26)

In the next major release, we will switch "git push [$there]" that
does not say what to push from the traditional "matching" to the
updated "simple" semantics, that pushes the current branch to the
branch with the same name only when the current branch is set to
integrate with that remote branch (all other cases will error out).

Will merge to 'master' as part of the second batch.

 . macos: lazily initialize iconv

Teach the code that works around NKD/NKC gotcha on MacOS to call
iconv_open() only when it is necessary, in the hope of avoiding
set-up overhead.  It turns out that there was no noticeable
improvements.
