Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The tip of the master is at v1.8.2. We have already many topics lined up for the next cycle, so after a few days to calm down, we will see exciting changes on 'master' starting from next week. 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] * ph/tag-force-no-warn-on-creation (2013-03-13) 1 commit - tag: --force does not have to warn when creating tags Will cook in 'next'. -------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * po/help-guides (2013-03-03) 5 commits - help doc: include --guide option description - help.c: add list_common_guides_help() function - help.c: add --guide option - help.c: use OPT_COUNTUP - show 'git help <guide>' usage, with examples Give more visibility to "concept guides" to help "git help" users. Expecting a reroll. $gmane/217384 * hv/config-from-strbuf (2013-03-10) 4 commits - teach config parsing to read from strbuf - config: make parsing stack struct independent from actual data source - config: drop file pointer validity check in get_next_char() - config: factor out config file stack management Expecting a reroll. $gmane/217811 * mb/gitweb-highlight-link-target (2012-12-20) 1 commit - Highlight the link target line in Gitweb using CSS Expecting a reroll. $gmane/211935 * 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] * nd/branch-show-rebase-bisect-state (2013-03-13) 6 commits - branch: show more information when HEAD is detached - status: show more info than "currently not on any branch" - wt-status: move wt_status_get_state() out to wt_status_print() - wt-status: split wt_status_state parsing function out - wt-status: move strbuf into read_and_strip_branch() - Merge branch 'jc/reflog-reverse-walk' into nd/branch-show-rebase-bisect-state (this branch uses jc/reflog-reverse-walk.) The changes look sound, but some patches need better description. * kb/p4merge (2013-03-13) 2 commits - mergetools/p4merge: create a base if none available - mergetools/p4merge: swap LOCAL and REMOTE Looked reasonable. Will merge to 'next'. * jc/maint-push-refspec-default-doc (2013-03-08) 1 commit - Documentation/git-push: clarify the description of defaults Clarify in the documentation "what" gets pushed to "where" when the command line to "git push" does not say these explicitly. Will merge to 'next'. * jc/reflog-reverse-walk (2013-03-08) 3 commits - reflog: add for_each_reflog_ent_reverse() API - for_each_recent_reflog_ent(): simplify opening of a reflog file - for_each_reflog_ent(): extract a helper to process a single entry (this branch is used by nd/branch-show-rebase-bisect-state.) An internal function used to implement "git checkout @{-1}" was hard to use correctly. Will merge to 'next'. * jk/alias-in-bare (2013-03-08) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-09 at 2f9d72a) + setup: suppress implicit "." work-tree for bare repos + environment: add GIT_PREFIX to local_repo_env + cache.h: drop LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZE An aliased command spawned from a bare repository that does not say it is bare with "core.bare = yes" is treated as non-bare by mistake. Will cook in 'next'. * pw/p4-symlinked-root (2013-03-11) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-12 at 559b926) + git p4: avoid expanding client paths in chdir + git p4 test: should honor symlink in p4 client root + git p4 test: make sure P4CONFIG relative path works Will cook in 'next'. * jc/add-2.0-delete-default (2013-03-08) 3 commits - git add <pathspec>... defaults to "-A" - git add: start preparing for "git add <pathspec>..." to default to "-A" - builtin/add.c: simplify boolean variables "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? There seemed to be some interest in this topic, so resurrected and rebased on top of recent documentation updates to propose a possible transition plan. Will merge to and cook in 'next' until Git 2.0. * jc/add-2.0-u-A-sans-pathspec (2013-03-11) 1 commit - git add: -u/-A now affects the entire working tree "git add -u/-A" without pathspec has traditonally limited its operation to the current directory and its subdirectories, but in Git 1.8.2 we started encouraging users to be more explicit to specify "." when they mean it (and use ":/" to make it affect the entire working tree). With this, we finally change the behaviour and make it affect the entire working tree in Git 2.0. Will merge to and cook in 'next' until Git 2.0. * jk/empty-archive (2013-03-10) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-12 at 942e592) + archive: handle commits with an empty tree + test-lib: factor out $GIT_UNZIP setup "git archive" reports a failure when asked to create an archive out of an empty tree. It would be more intuitive to give an empty archive back in such a case. Will cook in 'next'. * jk/graph-c-expose-symbols-for-cgit (2013-03-03) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-04 at be35b12) + Revert "graph.c: mark private file-scope symbols as static" In the v1.8.0 era, we changed symbols that do not have to be global to file scope static, but a few functions in graph.c were used by CGit from sideways bypassing the entry points of the API the in-tree users use. Will cook in 'next'. * we/submodule-update-prefix-output (2013-03-03) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-04 at 908df73) + submodule update: when using recursion, show full path Will cook in 'next'. * jc/nobody-sets-src-peer-ref (2013-03-04) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-07 at 1910e21) + match_push_refs(): nobody sets src->peer_ref anymore Dead code removal. Will cook in 'next'. * jc/push-follow-tag (2013-03-05) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-09 at 748fbed) + push: --follow-tags + commit.c: use clear_commit_marks_many() in in_merge_bases_many() + commit.c: add in_merge_bases_many() + commit.c: add clear_commit_marks_many() The new "--follow-tags" option tells "git push" to push relevant tags when pushing branches out. Will cook in 'next'. * jc/maint-reflog-expire-clean-mark-typofix (2013-03-05) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-07 at 0a61cbb) + reflog: fix typo in "reflog expire" clean-up codepath Will cook in 'next'. * aw/setup-prefix-pathspec (2013-03-09) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-12 at 31a4a5e) + setup.c: check that the pathspec magic ends with ")" + setup.c: stop prefix_pathspec() from looping past the end of string "git cmd -- ':(top'" was not diagnosed as an invalid syntax, and instead the parser kept reading beyond the end of the string. Will cook in 'next'. * lf/bundle-verify-list-prereqs (2013-03-08) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-08 at 9e55d6d) + bundle: Add colons to list headings in "verify" + bundle: Fix "verify" output if history is complete Will cook in 'next'. * ks/rfc2047-one-char-at-a-time (2013-03-09) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-09 at a12465e) + format-patch: RFC 2047 says multi-octet character may not be split When "format-patch" quoted a non-ascii strings on the header files, it incorrectly applied rfc2047 and chopped a single character in the middle of it. Will cook in 'next'. * kb/name-hash (2013-02-27) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-05 at 7f7e5d4) + name-hash.c: fix endless loop with core.ignorecase=true The code to keep track of what directory names are known to Git on platforms with case insensitive filesystems can get confused upon a hash collision between these pathnames and looped forever. Will cook in 'next'. * rs/zip-compresssed-size-with-export-subst (2013-02-27) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-03 at c1ac6d8) + archive-zip: fix compressed size for stored export-subst files When export-subst is used, "zip" output recorded incorrect size of the file. Will cook in 'next'. * jc/describe (2013-02-28) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-05 at 6b353f3) + describe: --match=<pattern> must limit the refs even when used with --all The "--match=<pattern>" option of "git describe", when used with "--all" to allow refs that are not annotated tags to be used as a base of description, did not restrict the output from the command to those that match the given pattern. We may want to have a looser matching that does not restrict to tags, but that can be done as a follow-up topic; this step is purely a bugfix. Will cook in 'next'. * jk/mailsplit-maildir-muttsort (2013-03-02) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-03 at d5f7735) + mailsplit: sort maildir filenames more cleverly Will cook in 'next'. * pc/subtree-add-before-fetch (2013-02-28) 1 commit - contrib/subtree: allow addition of remote branch with name not locally present Will discard. Not getting enough reviews. * tr/line-log (2013-02-28) 5 commits - log -L: :pattern:file syntax to find by funcname - Implement line-history search (git log -L) - Export rewrite_parents() for 'log -L' - blame: introduce $ as "end of file" in -L syntax - Refactor parse_loc Expecting a reroll. $gmane/217278 * jc/perl-cat-blob (2013-02-22) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at 7c0079a) + Git.pm: fix cat_blob crashes on large files perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do. Will cook in 'next'. * nd/doc-index-format (2013-02-23) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at 4d3caea) + update-index: list supported idx versions and their features + read-cache.c: use INDEX_FORMAT_{LB,UB} in verify_hdr() + index-format.txt: mention of v4 is missing in some places Update the index format documentation to mention the v4 format. Will cook in 'next'. * ap/maint-diff-rename-avoid-overlap (2013-03-06) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-06 at 3bc8dda) + tests: make sure rename pretty print works (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at 19d70bf) + diff: prevent pprint_rename from underrunning input (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at c9bd6d3) + diff: Fix rename pretty-print when suffix and prefix overlap The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped. Will cook in 'next'. * ap/maint-update-index-h-is-for-help (2013-02-23) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at f5f767c) + update-index: allow "-h" to also display options Will cook in 'next'. * jc/color-diff-doc (2013-02-22) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at c37541c) + diff-options: unconfuse description of --color Will cook in 'next'. * nd/branch-error-cases (2013-02-23) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at 1d0289f) + branch: segfault fixes and validation "git branch" had more cases where it did not bother to check nonsense command line parameters. Will cook in 'next'. * rt/commit-cleanup-config (2013-02-23) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at 8249b61) + t7502: perform commits using alternate editor in a subshell Fix tests that contaminated their environments and affected new tests introduced later in the sequence by containing their effects in their own subshells. Will cook in 'next'. * wk/doc-pre-rebase (2013-02-24) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at a6ec310) + Documentation/githooks: Explain pre-rebase parameters Will cook in 'next'. * da/downcase-u-in-usage (2013-02-24) 20 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at 977b67e) + contrib/mw-to-git/t/install-wiki.sh: use a lowercase "usage:" string + contrib/examples/git-remote.perl: use a lowercase "usage:" string + tests: use a lowercase "usage:" string + git-svn: use a lowercase "usage:" string + Documentation/user-manual.txt: use a lowercase "usage:" string + templates/hooks--update.sample: use a lowercase "usage:" string + contrib/hooks/setgitperms.perl: use a lowercase "usage:" string + contrib/examples: use a lowercase "usage:" string + contrib/fast-import/import-zips.py: use spaces instead of tabs + contrib/fast-import/import-zips.py: fix broken error message + contrib/fast-import: use a lowercase "usage:" string + contrib/credential: use a lowercase "usage:" string + git-cvsimport: use a lowercase "usage:" string + git-cvsimport: use a lowercase "usage:" string + git-cvsexportcommit: use a lowercase "usage:" string + git-archimport: use a lowercase "usage:" string + git-merge-one-file: use a lowercase "usage:" string + git-relink: use a lowercase "usage:" string + git-svn: use a lowercase "usage:" string + git-sh-setup: use a lowercase "usage:" string Will cook in 'next'. * dm/ni-maxhost-may-be-missing (2013-02-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at 93ec2c9) + git-compat-util.h: Provide missing netdb.h definitions Will cook in 'next'. * gp/avoid-explicit-mention-of-dot-git-refs (2013-02-24) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at ec42d98) + Fix ".git/refs" stragglers Will cook in 'next'. * gp/describe-match-uses-glob-pattern (2013-02-24) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at c9cc789) + describe: Document --match pattern format (this branch is used by gp/forbid-describe-all-match.) Will cook in 'next'. * jk/common-make-variables-export-safety (2013-02-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-05 at 084ae43) + Makefile: make mandir, htmldir and infodir absolute Make the three variables safer to be exported to submakes by ensuring that they are full paths so that they can be used as installation location. Will cook in 'next'. * jk/suppress-clang-warning (2013-02-25) 1 commit - fix clang -Wtautological-compare with unsigned enum Will merge to 'next'. * mg/qnx6 (2013-02-25) 1 commit - QNX: newer QNX 6.x.x is not so crippled Still under discussion. Not ready for inclusion. * mg/unsigned-time-t (2013-02-25) 2 commits - Fix time offset calculation in case of unsigned time_t - date.c: fix unsigned time_t comparison A few workarounds for systems with unsigned time_t. Will merge to 'next'. * rj/msvc-build (2013-02-25) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at 7493068) + msvc: avoid collisions between "tags" and "TAGS" + msvc: test-svn-fe: Fix linker "unresolved external" error + msvc: Fix build by adding missing symbol defines + msvc: git-daemon: Fix linker "unresolved external" errors + msvc: Fix compilation errors caused by poll.h emulation Will cook in 'next'. * wk/user-manual-literal-format (2013-02-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at d59ce38) + user-manual: Standardize backtick quoting Will cook in 'next'. * jk/utf-8-can-be-spelled-differently (2013-02-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at c079525) + utf8: accept alternate spellings of UTF-8 Will cook in 'next'. * jk/pkt-line-cleanup (2013-02-24) 19 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at d83e970) + remote-curl: always parse incoming refs + remote-curl: move ref-parsing code up in file + remote-curl: pass buffer straight to get_remote_heads + teach get_remote_heads to read from a memory buffer + pkt-line: share buffer/descriptor reading implementation + pkt-line: provide a LARGE_PACKET_MAX static buffer + pkt-line: move LARGE_PACKET_MAX definition from sideband + pkt-line: teach packet_read_line to chomp newlines + pkt-line: provide a generic reading function with options + pkt-line: drop safe_write function + pkt-line: move a misplaced comment + write_or_die: raise SIGPIPE when we get EPIPE + upload-archive: use argv_array to store client arguments + upload-archive: do not copy repo name + send-pack: prefer prefixcmp over memcmp in receive_status + fetch-pack: fix out-of-bounds buffer offset in get_ack + upload-pack: remove packet debugging harness + upload-pack: do not add duplicate objects to shallow list + upload-pack: use get_sha1_hex to parse "shallow" lines Cleans up pkt-line API, implementation and its callers to make them more robust. Will cook in 'next'. * ob/imap-send-ssl-verify (2013-02-20) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at e897609) + 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 cook in 'next'. * 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. Tests, docs and stripping out more MIMEy stuff are left as exercises to interested parties. Not ready for inclusion. * tk/doc-filter-branch (2013-02-26) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at bd4638b) + Documentation: filter-branch env-filter example + git-filter-branch.txt: clarify ident variables usage Will cook in 'next'. * 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'. * da/difftool-fixes (2013-02-21) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at 687db1f) + t7800: "defaults" is no longer a builtin tool name + t7800: modernize tests + t7800: update copyright notice + difftool: silence uninitialized variable warning Minor maintenance updates to difftool, and updates to its tests. Will cook in 'next'. * 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 (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at 93f0e72) + 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. Will cook in 'next'. * jn/shell-disable-interactive (2013-03-09) 2 commits - shell: new no-interactive-login command to print a custom message - shell doc: emphasize purpose and security model Will merge to 'next'. * 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 (2013-02-27) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-27 at ee7ae0e) + 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. Will cook in 'next'. * 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 (2013-02-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-27 at 7a261cb) + 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. Will cook in 'next'. * jl/submodule-deinit (2013-03-04) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-05 at 097164e) + 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'. * jc/remove-export-from-config-mak-in (2013-03-05) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-03-05 at abaa3cb) + Fix `make install` when configured with autoconf (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 (2013-02-23) 13 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at 32f7ac2) + git-commit: populate the edit buffer with 2 blank lines before s-o-b + 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 Will cook in 'next'. * gp/forbid-describe-all-match (2013-02-24) 1 commit - describe: make --all and --match=PATTERN mutually incompatible (this branch uses gp/describe-match-uses-glob-pattern.) "describe --match=<pattern> --all <commit>" ought to mean "use refs that match <pattern> to describe <commit>; you do not have to limit yourself to annotated tags." But it doesn't. Disable the combination. Will discard. jc/describe topic fixes the semantics of --match used with --all option. -- 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
