Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.
A new maintenance release 1.8.0.2 was tagged with accumulated fixes
we have already been using on the 'master' front for a while. The
tip of the 'master' is a bit beyond 1.8.1-rc1 and many topics are
getting into good shape in 'next', hopefully ready to be merged soon
after the 1.8.1 final.
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]
* ef/mingw-rmdir (2012-12-10) 1 commit
- mingw_rmdir: do not prompt for retry when non-empty
MinGW has a workaround when rmdir unnecessarily fails to retry with
a prompt, but the logic was kicking in when the rmdir failed with
ENOTEMPTY, i.e. was expected to fail and there is no point retrying.
Will fast-track to 'master'.
* jc/maint-fbsd-sh-ifs-workaround (2012-12-10) 1 commit
- sh-setup: work around "unset IFS" bug in some shells
Will merge to 'next'.
* jc/merge-blobs (2012-12-09) 4 commits
- merge-tree: add comments to clarify what these functions are doing
- merge-tree: lose unused "resolve_directories"
- merge-tree: lose unused "flags" from merge_list
- Which merge_file() function do you mean?
A beginning of a new merge strategy based on the disused merge-tree
proof-of-concept code.
* jc/same-encoding (2012-12-10) 1 commit
- format_commit_message(): simplify calls to logmsg_reencode()
Finishing touches to the series to unify "Do we need to reencode
between these two encodings?" logic.
* nd/invalidate-i-t-a-cache-tree (2012-12-09) 1 commit
- cache-tree: invalidate i-t-a paths after generating trees
Writing out a tree object when you still have intent-to-add entries
in the index left an incorrect cache-tree data there.
--------------------------------------------------
[Graduated to "master"]

Duy helped to reroll this.
Expecting a re-roll.
* aw/rebase-am-failure-detection (2012-10-11) 1 commit
- rebase: Handle cases where format-patch fails
I am unhappy a bit about the possible performance implications of
having to store the output in a temporary file only for a rare case
of format-patch aborting.
* jk/lua-hackery (2012-10-07) 6 commits
- pretty: fix up one-off format_commit_message calls
- Minimum compilation fixup
- Makefile: make "lua" a bit more configurable
- add a "lua" pretty format
- add basic lua infrastructure
- pretty: make some commit-parsing helpers more public
Interesting exercise. When we do this for real, we probably would want
to wrap a commit to make it more like an "object" with methods like
"parents", etc.
* fc/remote-testgit-feature-done (2012-10-29) 1 commit
- remote-testgit: properly check for errors
Needs review and Ack (or Nack) from people involved in the remote
helper interface for this to move forward.
* rc/maint-complete-git-p4 (2012-09-24) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-10-29 at af52cef)
+ Teach git-completion about git p4
Comment from Pete will need to be addressed in a follow-up patch.
* as/test-tweaks (2012-09-20) 7 commits
- tests: paint unexpectedly fixed known breakages in bold red
- tests: test the test framework more thoroughly
- [SQUASH] t/t0000-basic.sh: quoting of TEST_DIRECTORY is screwed up
- tests: refactor mechanics of testing in a sub test-lib
- tests: paint skipped tests in bold blue
- tests: test number comes first in 'not ok $count - $message'
- tests: paint known breakages in bold yellow
Various minor tweaks to the test framework to paint its output
lines in colors that match what they mean better.
Has the "is this really blue?" issue Peff raised resolved???
* jc/maint-name-rev (2012-09-17) 7 commits
- describe --contains: use "name-rev --algorithm=weight"
- name-rev --algorithm=weight: tests and documentation
- name-rev --algorithm=weight: cache the computed weight in notes
- name-rev --algorithm=weight: trivial optimization
- name-rev: --algorithm option
- name_rev: clarify the logic to assign a new tip-name to a commit
- name-rev: lose unnecessary typedef
"git name-rev" names the given revision based on a ref that can be
reached in the smallest number of steps from the rev, but that is
not useful when the caller wants to know which tag is the oldest one
that contains the rev. This teaches a new mode to the command that
uses the oldest ref among those which contain the rev.
I am not sure if this is worth it; for one thing, even with the help
from notes-cache, it seems to make the "describe --contains" even
slower. Also the command will be unusably slow for a user who does
not have a write access (hence unable to create or update the
notes-cache).
Stalled mostly due to lack of responses.
* jc/xprm-generation (2012-09-14) 1 commit
- test-generation: compute generation numbers and clock skews
A toy to analyze how bad the clock skews are in histories of real
world projects.
Stalled mostly due to lack of responses.
* jc/blame-no-follow (2012-09-21) 2 commits
- blame: pay attention to --no-follow
- diff: accept --no-follow option
Teaches "--no-follow" option to "git blame" to disable its
whole-file rename detection.
Stalled mostly due to lack of responses.
* jc/doc-default-format (2012-11-26) 2 commits
- [SQAUSH] allow "cd Doc* && make DEFAULT_DOC_TARGET=..."
- Allow generating a non-default set of documentation
Need to address the installation half if this is to be any useful.
* mk/maint-graph-infinity-loop (2012-09-25) 1 commit
- graph.c: infinite loop in git whatchanged --graph -m
The --graph code fell into infinite loop when asked to do what the
code did not expect ;-)
Anybody who worked on "--graph" wants to comment?
Stalled mostly due to lack of responses.
* 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.
* 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 re-roll.
"The first remote becomes the default" bit is better done as a
separate step.

[Cooking]
* ef/mingw-tty-getpass (2012-12-04) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-12-07 at 1737ff1)
+ mingw: get rid of getpass implementation
+ mingw: reuse tty-version of git_terminal_prompt
+ compat/terminal: separate input and output handles
+ compat/terminal: factor out echo-disabling
+ mingw: make fgetc raise SIGINT if apropriate
+ mingw: correct exit-code for SIGALRM's SIG_DFL
Update getpass() emulation for MinGW.
Will fast-track to 'master'.
* jl/submodule-deinit (2012-12-04) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-12-07 at ea772f0)
+ submodule: add 'deinit' command
There was no Porcelain way to say "I no longer am interested in
this submodule", once you express your interest in a submodule with
"submodule init". "submodule deinit" is the way to do so.
Will cook in 'next'.
* sl/git-svn-docs (2012-12-05) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-12-07 at 5bfbb73)
+ git-svn: Note about tags.
+ git-svn: Expand documentation for --follow-parent
+ git-svn: Recommend use of structure options.
+ git-svn: Document branches with at-sign(@).
Will cook in 'next'.
* pf/editor-ignore-sigint (2012-12-02) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-12-07 at 6b04419)
+ launch_editor: propagate signals from editor to git
+ run-command: do not warn about child death from terminal
+ launch_editor: ignore terminal signals while editor has control
+ launch_editor: refactor to use start/finish_command
+ run-command: drop silent_exec_failure arg from wait_or_whine
Avoid confusing cases where the user hits Ctrl-C while in the editor
session, not realizing git will receive the signal. Since most editors
will take over the terminal and will block SIGINT, this is not likely
to confuse anyone.
Will cook in 'next'.
* bc/append-signed-off-by (2012-11-26) 11 commits
- Unify appending signoff in format-patch, commit and sequencer
- format-patch: update append_signoff prototype
- format-patch: stricter S-o-b detection
- t4014: more tests about appending s-o-b lines
- sequencer.c: teach append_signoff to avoid adding a duplicate newline
- sequencer.c: teach append_signoff how to detect duplicate s-o-b
- sequencer.c: always separate "(cherry picked from" from commit body
- sequencer.c: recognize "(cherry picked from ..." as part of s-o-b footer
- t/t3511: add some tests of 'cherry-pick -s' functionality
- t/test-lib-functions.sh: allow to specify the tag name to test_commit
- sequencer.c: remove broken support for rfc2822 continuation in footer
Expecting a re-roll after a review.
* mh/unify-xml-in-imap-send-and-http-push (2012-12-02) 8 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-12-03 at d677090)
+ wrap_in_html(): process message in bulk rather than line-by-line
+ wrap_in_html(): use strbuf_addstr_xml_quoted()
+ imap-send: change msg_data from storing (ptr, len) to storing strbuf
+ imap-send: correctly report errors reading from stdin
+ imap-send: store all_msgs as a strbuf
+ lf_to_crlf(): NUL-terminate msg_data::data
+ xml_entities(): use function strbuf_addstr_xml_quoted()
+ Add new function strbuf_add_xml_quoted()
Update imap-send to reuse xml quoting code from http-push codepath,
clean up some code, and fix a small bug.
Will cook in 'next'.

(merged to 'next' on 2012-11-28 at 519dabc)
+ fsck: warn about ".git" in trees
+ fsck: warn about '.' and '..' in trees
Will cook in 'next'.
* mh/doc-remote-helpers (2012-12-07) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-12-07 at 7ac8c25)
+ git-remote-helpers.txt: clarify options & ref list attributes

+ git-remote-helpers.txt: rearrange description of capabilities
+ git-remote-helpers.txt: minor grammar fix
+ git-remote-helpers.txt: document missing capabilities

(merged to 'next' on 2012-11-28 at 780600e)
+ configure.ac: fix pthreads detection on Mac OS X
Will cook in 'next'.
* jn/warn-on-inaccessible-loosen (2012-10-14) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-11-28 at 43d51c2)
+ config: exit on error accessing any config file
+ doc: advertise GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM
+ config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors
+ config, gitignore: failure to access with ENOTDIR is ok
An RFC to deal with a situation where .config/git is a file and we
notice .config/git/config is not readable due to ENOTDIR, not
ENOENT.
Will cook in 'next'.
* mh/ceiling (2012-10-29) 8 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-11-26 at d1ce76a)
+ string_list_longest_prefix(): remove function
+ setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths
+ longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized
+ longest_ancestor_length(): take a string_list argument for prefixes
+ longest_ancestor_length(): use string_list_split()
+ Introduce new function real_path_if_valid()
+ real_path_internal(): add comment explaining use of cwd
+ Introduce new static function real_path_internal()
Elements of GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list may not match the real
pathname we obtain from getcwd(), leading the GIT_DIR discovery
logic to escape the ceilings the user thought to have specified.
Resurrected from Stalled; the earlier performance fear was
unwarranted.
Will cook in 'next'.
* fc/fast-export-fixes (2012-12-03) 15 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-12-03 at f9df523)

+ remote-testgit: report success after an import
+ remote-testgit: exercise more features
+ remote-testgit: cleanup tests
+ remote-testgit: remove irrelevant test
+ remote-testgit: remove non-local functionality
+ Add new simplified git-remote-testgit
+ Rename git-remote-testgit to git-remote-testpy

Will cook in 'next'.
* jc/apply-trailing-blank-removal (2012-10-12) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-11-26 at 3af69e7)
+ apply.c:update_pre_post_images(): the preimage can be truncated
Fix to update_pre_post_images() that did not take into account the
possibility that whitespace fix could shrink the preimage and
change the number of lines in it.
Will cook in 'next'.
* nd/pathspec-wildcard (2012-11-26) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-12-03 at eca0fcb)
+ tree_entry_interesting: do basedir compare on wildcard patterns when possible
+ pathspec: apply "*.c" optimization from exclude
+ pathspec: do exact comparison on the leading non-wildcard part
+ pathspec: save the non-wildcard length part
Will cook in 'next'.
* nd/wildmatch (2012-11-20) 14 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-11-21 at 151288f)
+ test-wildmatch: avoid Windows path mangling
(merged to 'next' on 2012-10-25 at 510e8df)
+ Support "**" wildcard in .gitignore and .gitattributes
+ wildmatch: make /**/ match zero or more directories
+ wildmatch: adjust "**" behavior
+ wildmatch: fix case-insensitive matching
+ wildmatch: remove static variable force_lower_case
+ wildmatch: make wildmatch's return value compatible with fnmatch
+ t3070: disable unreliable fnmatch tests
+ Integrate wildmatch to git
+ wildmatch: follow Git's coding convention
+ wildmatch: remove unnecessary functions
+ Import wildmatch from rsync
+ ctype: support iscntrl, ispunct, isxdigit and isprint
+ ctype: make sane_ctype[] const array
Allows pathname patterns in .gitignore and .gitattributes files
with double-asterisks "foo/**/bar" to match any number of directory
hierarchies.
I suspect that this needs to be plugged to pathspec matching code;
otherwise "git log -- 'Docum*/**/*.txt'" would not show the log for
commits that touch Documentation/git.txt, which would be confusing
to the users.
Will cook in 'next'.
* cr/push-force-tag-update (2012-12-03) 10 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-12-04 at af2e3a9)
+ push: allow already-exists advice to be disabled
+ push: rename config variable for more general use
+ push: cleanup push rules comment
+ push: clarify rejection of update to non-commit-ish
+ push: require force for annotated tags
+ push: require force for refs under refs/tags/
+ push: flag updates that require force
+ push: keep track of "update" state separately
+ push: add advice for rejected tag reference
+ push: return reject reasons as a bitset
Require "-f" for push to update a tag, even if it is a fast-forward.
Will cook in 'next'.
