Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.
On the 'maint' front, a maintenance release 1.8.1.4 is out. The
same fixes are also included in the 'master' and upwards.
The tip of the 'master' is a bit past 1.8.2-rc0; new topics that are
not listed in this report are likely to be too late for the upcoming
release.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the
repositories listed at

* ob/imap-send-ssl-verify (2013-02-20) 1 commit
- imap-send: support Server Name Indication (RFC4366)
Correctly connect to SSL/TLS sites that serve multiple hostnames on
a single IP by including Server Name Indication in the client-hello.
Will merge to and cook in 'next'.
* jn/less-reconfigure (2013-02-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-21 at 811e0c0)
+ Makefile: avoid infinite loop on configure.ac change
A change made on v1.8.1.x maintenance track had a nasty regression
to break the build when autoconf is used.
Will fast-track to 'master' and 'maint' (regression fix).
* jc/format-patch (2013-02-21) 2 commits
- format-patch: --inline-single
- format-patch: rename "no_inline" field
A new option to send a single patch to the standard output to be
appended at the bottom of a message. I personally have no need for
this, but it was easy enough to cobble together.
* mh/maint-ceil-absolute (2013-02-21) 1 commit
- Provide a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in ceiling paths
An earlier workaround designed to help people who list logical
directories that will not match what getcwd(3) returns in the
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES had an adverse effect when it is slow to
stat and readlink a directory component of an element listed on it.
Waiting for review. Needs sign-off.
* tk/doc-filter-branch (2013-02-21) 3 commits
- [SQUASH???] reword desc on filter-branch's use of env
- Documentation: filter-branch env-filter example
- git-filter-branch.txt: clarify ident variables usage
--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]
* mb/gitweb-highlight-link-target (2012-12-20) 1 commit
- Highlight the link target line in Gitweb using CSS
Expecting a reroll.
$gmane/211935
* 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.
There seems to be some interest. Let's see if it results in a solid
execution of a sensible transition plan towards Git 2.0.
* 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.
$gmane/210151
"The first remote becomes the default" bit is better done as a
separate step.

[Cooking]
* as/check-ignore (2013-02-19) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-21 at 27927a2)
+ name-hash: allow hashing an empty string
+ t0008: document test_expect_success_multi
"git check-ignore ." segfaulted, as a function it calls deep in its
callchain took a string in the <ptr, length> form but did not stop
when given an empty string.
Will fast-track to 'master' (this is a new feature in the upcoming release).
* bc/commit-complete-lines-given-via-m-option (2013-02-19) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-19 at cf622b7)
+ Documentation/git-commit.txt: rework the --cleanup section
+ git-commit: only append a newline to -m mesg if necessary
+ t7502: demonstrate breakage with a commit message with trailing newlines
+ t/t7502: compare entire commit message with what was expected
'git commit -m "$str"' when $str was already terminated with a LF
now avoids adding an extra LF to the message.
Will cook in 'next'.
* ct/autoconf-htmldir (2013-02-19) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-21 at 44f127d)
+ Bugfix: undefined htmldir in config.mak.autogen
An earlier change to config.mak.autogen broke a build driven by the
./configure script when --htmldir is not specified on the command
line of ./configure.
Will fast-track to 'master' (regression fix).
* wk/user-manual (2013-02-19) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-19 at dbc0eb2)
+ user-manual: Flesh out uncommitted changes and submodule updates
+ user-manual: Use request-pull to generate "please pull" text
+ user-manual: Reorganize the reroll sections, adding 'git rebase -i'
Further updates to the user manual.
Will merge to 'master'.
* wk/man-deny-current-branch-is-default-these-days (2013-02-18) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-21 at e67b15b)
+ user-manual: typofix (ofthe->of the)
Will fast-track to 'master'.
* da/difftool-fixes (2013-02-20) 3 commits
- t7800: modernize tests
- t7800: update copyright notice
- difftool: silence uninitialized variable warning
Minor maintenance updates to difftool, and updates to its tests.
* nd/read-directory-recursive-optim (2013-02-17) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-17 at 36ba9f4)
+ read_directory: avoid invoking exclude machinery on tracked files
"git status" has been optimized by taking advantage of the fact
that paths that are already known to the index do not have to be
checked against the .gitignore mechanism under some conditions.
Will cook in 'next'.
* mg/gpg-interface-using-status (2013-02-14) 5 commits
- pretty: make %GK output the signing key for signed commits
- pretty: parse the gpg status lines rather than the output
- gpg_interface: allow to request status return
- log-tree: rely upon the check in the gpg_interface
- gpg-interface: check good signature in a reliable way
Call "gpg" using the right API when validating the signature on
tags.
* jn/shell-disable-interactive (2013-02-11) 2 commits
- shell: pay attention to exit status from 'help' command
- shell doc: emphasize purpose and security model
Expecting a reroll.
$gmane/216229
* jc/fetch-raw-sha1 (2013-02-07) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-14 at ffa3c65)
+ fetch: fetch objects by their exact SHA-1 object names
+ upload-pack: optionally allow fetching from the tips of hidden refs
+ fetch: use struct ref to represent refs to be fetched
+ parse_fetch_refspec(): clarify the codeflow a bit
Allows requests to fetch objects at any tip of refs (including
hidden ones). It seems that there may be use cases even outside
Gerrit (e.g. $gmane/215701).
Will cook in 'next'.
* mn/send-email-works-with-credential (2013-02-12) 6 commits
- git-send-email: use git credential to obtain password
- Git.pm: add interface for git credential command
- Git.pm: allow pipes to be closed prior to calling command_close_bidi_pipe
- Git.pm: refactor command_close_bidi_pipe to use _cmd_close
- Git.pm: fix example in command_close_bidi_pipe documentation
- Git.pm: allow command_close_bidi_pipe to be called as method
Hooks the credential system to send-email.
Rerolled.
Waiting for a review.
* nd/branch-show-rebase-bisect-state (2013-02-08) 1 commit
- branch: show rebase/bisect info when possible instead of "(no branch)"
Expecting a reroll.
$gmane/215771
* nd/count-garbage (2013-02-15) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-17 at b2af923)
+ count-objects: report how much disk space taken by garbage files
+ count-objects: report garbage files in pack directory too
+ sha1_file: reorder code in prepare_packed_git_one()
+ git-count-objects.txt: describe each line in -v output
Will cook in 'next'.
* tz/credential-authinfo (2013-02-05) 1 commit
- Add contrib/credentials/netrc with GPG support
A new read-only credential helper (in contrib/) to interact with
the .netrc/.authinfo files. Hopefully mn/send-email-authinfo topic
can rebuild on top of something like this.
Expecting a reroll.
$gmane/215556
* jl/submodule-deinit (2013-02-17) 1 commit
- 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.
* jc/remove-export-from-config-mak-in (2013-02-12) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-12 at eb8af04)
+ Makefile: do not export mandir/htmldir/infodir
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-07 at 33f7d4f)
+ config.mak.in: remove unused definitions
config.mak.in template had an "export" line to cause a few
common makefile variables to be exported; if they need to be
expoted for autoconf/configure users, they should also be exported
for people who write config.mak the same way. Move the "export" to
the main Makefile. Also, stop exporting mandir that used to be
exported (only) when config.mak.autogen was used. It would have
broken installation of manpages (but not other documentation
formats).
Will cook in 'next'.
* jc/remove-treesame-parent-in-simplify-merges (2013-01-17) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-30 at b639b47)
+ simplify-merges: drop merge from irrelevant side branch
The --simplify-merges logic did not cull irrelevant parents from a
merge that is otherwise not interesting with respect to the paths
we are following.
This touches a fairly core part of the revision traversal
infrastructure; even though I think this change is correct, please
report immediately if you find any unintended side effect.
Will cook in 'next'.
* jc/push-2.0-default-to-simple (2013-01-16) 14 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-16 at 23f5df2)
+ t5570: do not assume the "matching" push is the default
+ t5551: do not assume the "matching" push is the default
+ t5550: do not assume the "matching" push is the default
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-09 at 74c3498)
+ doc: push.default is no longer "matching"
+ push: switch default from "matching" to "simple"
+ t9401: do not assume the "matching" push is the default
+ t9400: do not assume the "matching" push is the default
+ t7406: do not assume the "matching" push is the default
+ t5531: do not assume the "matching" push is the default
+ t5519: do not assume the "matching" push is the default
+ t5517: do not assume the "matching" push is the default
+ t5516: do not assume the "matching" push is the default
+ t5505: do not assume the "matching" push is the default
+ t5404: do not assume the "matching" push is the default
Will cook in 'next' until Git 2.0.
* bc/append-signed-off-by (2013-02-12) 12 commits
- Unify appending signoff in format-patch, commit and sequencer
- format-patch: update append_signoff prototype
- 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: require a conforming footer to be preceded by a blank line
- 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
- commit, cherry-pick -s: remove broken support for multiline rfc2822 fields
- sequencer.c: rework search for start of footer to improve clarity
Waiting for further reviews.
$gmane/216327 may need to be addressed.
--------------------------------------------------
[Discarded]
* 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.
* jk/smart-http-robustify (2013-02-17) 3 commits
. remote-curl: sanity check ref advertisement from server
. remote-curl: verify smart-http metadata lines
. pkt-line: teach packet_get_line a no-op mode
Parse the HTTP exchange that implements the native Git protocol as
a series of stateless RPC more carefully to diagnose protocol
breakage better.
Superseded by jk/pkt-line-cleanup
* 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.
* 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.
* rc/maint-complete-git-p4 (2012-09-24) 1 commit
- Teach git-completion about git p4
Comment from Pete will need to be addressed ($gmane/206172).
