I've merged a handful topics since v1.5.0-rc0. - reflog is now integral part of the data tracked by git, as far as local repository is concerned. You do not have to end your sentence with "... but only if you haven't pruned" when you tell your users "don't worry, you can get it back with master@{2.hours.ago}" anymore. - a single command "git gc" would help your repository housekeeping chores. - shallow-clone capable upload-pack/fetch-pack pair is in. Although I think the way they cauterize the ancestry graph during the want-have exchange is basically sound, I haven't used it extensively and suspect not many people have. The additional code, however, does not seem to harm the normal, non-shallow operation in any way; this is to give them wider exposure. - recording the commit encoding in the new "encoding" header and using it together with i18n.{logoutput,commit}encoding upon output is also in. I think Nico's suggestion to use LANG also makes sense (perhaps with LC_CTYPE), but haven't done that myself yet. - git-svn got a handful improvements. - segfaulting bug in xdl_merge was fixed. I'm waiting for ack's to my workaround for http-fetch breakage when built with cURL 7.16.0, which I would like to resolve before v1.5.0-rc1. Also I have a reproducible problem which I suspect is with Shawn's sliding mmap(), and am hoping we can ship the sliding mmap() as part of the v1.5.0 after resolving it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- * The 'master' branch has these since the last announcement. Alexandre Julliard (6): Shallow clone: do not ignore shallowness when following tags fetch-pack: Properly remove the shallow file when it becomes empty. upload-pack: Check for NOT_SHALLOW flag before sending a shallow to the client. git-fetch: Reset shallow_depth before auto-following tags. get_shallow_commits: Avoid memory leak if a commit has been reached already. fetch-pack: Do not fetch tags for shallow clones. Andy Parkins (1): hooks/commit-msg: add example to add Signed-off-by line to message Eric Wong (9): git-svn: quiet down tests and fix some unportable shell constructs git-svn: dcommit should diff against the current HEAD after committing t6024-recursive-merge: quiet down this test test-lib: quiet down init-db output for tests t9200-git-cvsexportcommit.sh: quiet down commit git-svn: remove non-delta fetch code paths git-svn: print out the SVN library version in --version, too git-svn: verify_ref() should actually --verify git-svn: sort multi-init output Jakub Narebski (2): gitweb: Add mod_perl version string to "generator" meta header gitweb: Precompile CGI routines for mod_perl Jim Meyering (1): update hook: redirect _both_ diagnostic lines to stderr upon tag failure Johannes Schindelin (6): upload-pack: no longer call rev-list support fetching into a shallow repository allow cloning a repository "shallowly" allow deepening of a shallow repository add tests for shallow stuff xdl_merge(): fix a segmentation fault when refining conflicts Junio C Hamano (32): We should make sure that the protocol is still extensible. Why does it mean we do not have to register shallow if we have one? Why didn't we mark want_obj as ~UNINTERESTING in the old code? shallow clone: unparse and reparse an unshallowed commit add for_each_reflog_ent() iterator Protect commits recorded in reflog from pruning. Teach git-repack to preserve objects referred to by reflog entries. reflog: fix warning message. Move in_merge_bases() to commit.c git reflog expire reflog expire: prune commits that are not incomplete reflog expire: do not punt on tags that point at non commits. show-branch --reflog: add documentation. Document --numstat in git-apply and git-diff Document git-reset <commit> -- <paths>... Move encoding conversion routine out of mailinfo to utf8.c i18n.logToUTF8: convert commit log message to UTF-8 Teach log family --encoding everyday: update for v1.5.0 count-objects -v: show number of packs as well. rerere gc: honor configuration and document it git-reflog: gc.* configuration and documentation. everyday: replace a few 'prune' and 'repack' with 'gc' Use 'repack -a -d -l' instead of 'repack -a -d' in git-gc Set NO_MMAP for Cygwin by default UTF-8: introduce i18n.logoutputencoding. gcc does not necessarily pass runtime libpath with -R Rename t3900 test vector file t3900: test conversion to non UTF-8 as well GIT_SKIP_TESTS: allow users to omit tests that are known to break core.logallrefupdates: log remotes/ tracking branches. Allow non-fast-forward of remote tracking branches in default clone Nicolas Pitre (3): add .mailmap for git-shortlog output with the git repository Add git-reflog to .gitignore move git-blame to its place in .gitignore Quy Tonthat (1): git-send-email: default value for "From:" field. Robert Fitzsimons (1): gitweb: Re-enable rev-list --parents for parse_commit. Shawn O. Pearce (8): Don't crash during repack of a reflog with pruned commits. Create 'git gc' to perform common maintenance operations. Use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable instead. Honor GIT_REFLOG_ACTION in git-rebase. Use branch names in 'git-rebase -m' conflict hunks. Ensure `git-pull` fails if `git-merge` fails. Honor pull.{twohead,octopus} in git-merge. Allow git-merge to select the default strategy. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
