Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.
According to tinyurl.com/gitCal, the feature freeze for this cycle
is scheduled to happen at the end of this month. What's in the
'next' branch as of today gives us a more or less complete picture,
I would think. I'd like to ask area maintainers of git-svn, gitk
and git-gui to please prepare to wrap up the accumulated changes for
this cycle and throw a pull request to me. Thanks.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]
* jk/pack-objects-no-bitmap-when-splitting (2014-10-19) 1 commit
- pack-objects: turn off bitmaps when we split packs
Splitting pack-objects output into multiple packs is incompatible
with the use of reachability bitmap.
Will merge to 'next'.
* po/doc-status-markup (2014-10-19) 1 commit
- doc: fix 'git status --help' character quoting
Update documentation mark-up.
Will merge to 'next'.
* rs/run-command-env-array (2014-10-19) 2 commits
- use env_array member of struct child_process
- run-command: add env_array, an optional argv_array for env
Add managed "env" array to child_process to clarify the lifetime
rules.
Will merge to 'next'.
* tb/core-filemode-doc (2014-10-19) 1 commit
- core.filemode may need manual action
Doc update.
Will merge to 'next'.

Will merge to 'next'.
--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]
* je/quiltimport-no-fuzz (2014-09-26) 2 commits
- git-quiltimport: flip the default not to allow fuzz
- git-quiltimport.sh: allow declining fuzz with --exact option
"quiltimport" drove "git apply" always with -C1 option to reduce
context of the patch in order to give more chance to somewhat stale
patches to apply. Add an "--exact" option to disable, and also
"-C$n" option to customize this behaviour. The top patch
optionally flips the default to "--exact".
Waiting for an Ack.
* tr/remerge-diff (2014-09-08) 8 commits
- log --remerge-diff: show what the conflict resolution changed
- name-hash: allow dir hashing even when !ignore_case
- merge-recursive: allow storing conflict hunks in index
- merge_diff_mode: fold all merge diff variants into an enum
- combine-diff: do not pass revs->dense_combined_merges redundantly
- merge-recursive: -Xindex-only to leave worktree unchanged
- merge-recursive: internal flag to avoid touching the worktree
- merge-recursive: remove dead conditional in update_stages()
"log -p" output learns a new way to let users inspect a merge
commit by showing the differences between the automerged result
with conflicts the person who recorded the merge would have seen
and the final conflict resolution that was recorded in the merge.
Waiting for a reroll ($gmane/256591).
* hv/submodule-config (2014-06-30) 4 commits
- do not die on error of parsing fetchrecursesubmodules option
- use new config API for worktree configurations of submodules
- extract functions for submodule config set and lookup
- implement submodule config cache for lookup of submodule names
Kicked back to 'pu' per request ($gmane/255610).

- use timer_settime() for new platforms
- autoconf: check for timer_settime()
- autoconf: check for struct itimerspec
- autoconf: check for struct sigevent
- autoconf: check for struct timespec
- autoconf: check for timer_t
Reviewed, discussed and wanting for a reroll.
* jk/pack-bitmap (2014-08-04) 1 commit

- SQUASH??? git-add--interactive: Preserve diff heading when splitting hunks
- git-add--interactive: Preserve diff heading when splitting hunks
Waiting for a reroll.
* jn/gitweb-utf8-in-links (2014-05-27) 1 commit
- gitweb: Harden UTF-8 handling in generated links
$gmane/250758?
* ss/userdiff-update-csharp-java (2014-06-02) 2 commits
- userdiff: support Java try keyword
- userdiff: support C# async methods and correct C# keywords
Reviews sent; waiting for a response.
* bg/rebase-off-of-previous-branch (2014-04-16) 1 commit
- git-rebase: print name of rev when using shorthand
Teach "git rebase -" to report the concrete name of the branch
(i.e. the previous one).
But it stops short and does not do the same for "git rebase @{-1}".
Expecting a reroll.
* jk/makefile (2014-02-05) 16 commits
. FIXUP
. move LESS/LV pager environment to Makefile
. Makefile: teach scripts to include make variables
. FIXUP
. Makefile: auto-build C strings from make variables

. Makefile: store GIT-* sentinel files in MAKE/
. Makefile: prefer printf to echo for GIT-*
. Makefile: use tempfile/mv strategy for GIT-*
. Makefile: introduce make-var helper function
. Makefile: fix git-instaweb dependency on gitweb
. Makefile: drop USE_GETTEXT_SCHEME from GIT-CFLAGS
Simplify the Makefile rules and macros that exist primarily for
quoting purposes, and make it easier to robustly express the
dependency rules.
Expecting a reroll.
* rb/merge-prepare-commit-msg-hook (2014-01-10) 4 commits
- merge: drop unused arg from abort_commit method signature
- merge: make prepare_to_commit responsible for write_merge_state
- t7505: ensure cleanup after hook blocks merge
- t7505: add missing &&
Expose more merge states (e.g. $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MODE) to hooks that
run during "git merge". The log message stresses too much on one
hook, prepare-commit-msg, but it would equally apply to other hooks
like post-merge, I think.
Waiting for a reroll.
* jc/graph-post-root-gap (2013-12-30) 3 commits
- WIP: document what we want at the end
- graph: remove unused code a bit
- graph: stuff the current commit into graph->columns[]
This was primarily a RFH ($gmane/239580).
* tg/perf-lib-test-perf-cleanup (2013-09-19) 2 commits
- perf-lib: add test_perf_cleanup target
- perf-lib: split starting the test from the execution
Add test_perf_cleanup shell function to the perf suite, that allows
the script writers to define a test with a clean-up action.
Will hold.
* jc/show-branch (2014-03-24) 5 commits
- show-branch: use commit slab to represent bitflags of arbitrary width
- show-branch.c: remove "all_mask"
- show-branch.c: abstract out "flags" operation
- show-branch.c: lift all_mask/all_revs to a global static
- show-branch.c: update comment style
Waiting for the final step to lift the hard-limit before sending it out.
--------------------------------------------------
[Cooking]
* eb/no-pthreads (2014-10-19) 3 commits
- Handle atexit list internaly for unthreaded builds
- pack-objects: set number of threads before checking and warning
- index-pack: fix compilation with NO_PTHREADS
Allow us build with NO_PTHREADS=NoThanks compilation option. The
last change (not queued) needs a bit more explanation in its log
message.
Will merge to 'next'.
* da/mergetool-temporary-directory (2014-10-16) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-10-17 at 261e74e)
+ t7610-mergetool: add test cases for mergetool.writeToTemp
+ mergetool: add an option for writing to a temporary directory
(this branch uses da/mergetool-temporary-filename and da/mergetool-tests; is tangled with da/mergetool-tool-help.)
Allow a temporary directory specified to be used while running "git
mergetool" backend.
Will merge to 'master'.
* da/mergetool-tests (2014-10-16) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-10-17 at 239fefe)
+ test-lib-functions: adjust style to match CodingGuidelines
+ t7610-mergetool: use test_config to isolate tests
+ t7610-mergetool: add missing && and remove commented-out code
+ t7610-mergetool: use tabs instead of a mix of tabs and spaces
(this branch is used by da/mergetool-temporary-directory and da/mergetool-temporary-filename; is tangled with da/mergetool-tool-help.)
The clean-up of this test script was long overdue and is a very
welcome change.
Will merge to 'master'.
* bc/asciidoctor (2014-10-15) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-10-17 at 12ce2e2)
+ Documentation: implement linkgit macro for Asciidoctor
+ Documentation: move some AsciiDoc parameters into variables
Add machinery to alternatively use AsciiDoctor to format our
documentation.
Brian seems to have a bit more tweaks; will wait for them before
moving this topic forward.
* da/mergetool-meld (2014-10-16) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-10-17 at 00ee553)
+ mergetools/meld: make usage of `--output` configurable and more robust
Newer versions of 'meld' breaks the auto-detection we use to see if
they are new enough to support the `--output` option.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jk/prune-mtime (2014-10-19) 28 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-10-20 at fdd7ff6)
+ drop add_object_array_with_mode
+ revision: remove definition of unused 'add_object' function
+ pack-objects: double-check options before discarding objects
+ repack: pack objects mentioned by the index
+ pack-objects: use argv_array
+ reachable: use revision machinery's --indexed-objects code
+ rev-list: add --indexed-objects option
+ rev-list: document --reflog option

+ prune: keep objects reachable from recent objects
+ sha1_file: add for_each iterators for loose and packed objects
+ count-objects: use for_each_loose_file_in_objdir
+ count-objects: do not use xsize_t when counting object size
+ prune-packed: use for_each_loose_file_in_objdir
+ reachable: mark index blobs as SEEN
+ prune: factor out loose-object directory traversal
+ reachable: reuse revision.c "add all reflogs" code
+ reachable: use traverse_commit_list instead of custom walk
+ clean up name allocation in prepare_revision_walk
+ object_array: add a "clear" function
+ object_array: factor out slopbuf-freeing logic
+ isxdigit: cast input to unsigned char
+ foreach_alt_odb: propagate return value from callback
Tighten the logic to decide that an unreachable cruft is
sufficiently old by covering corner cases such as an ancient object
becoming reachable and then going unreachable again, in which case
its retention period should be prolonged.
Will merge to 'master'.
* rs/ref-transaction (2014-10-15) 25 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-10-17 at 1390624)
+ ref_transaction_commit: bail out on failure to remove a ref

+ refs.c: refuse to lock badly named refs in lock_ref_sha1_basic
+ rename_ref: don't ask read_ref_full where the ref came from
+ refs.c: pass the ref log message to _create/delete/update instead of _commit
+ refs.c: add an err argument to delete_ref_loose
+ wrapper.c: add a new function unlink_or_msg
+ refs.c: lock_ref_sha1_basic is used for all refs
+ wrapper.c: remove/unlink_or_warn: simplify, treat ENOENT as success
+ mv test: recreate mod/ directory instead of relying on stale copy
The API to update refs have been restructured to allow introducing
a true transactional updates later. We would even allow storing
refs in backends other than the traditional filesystem-based one.
Will merge to 'master'.
* da/mergetool-tool-help (2014-10-15) 8 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-10-17 at 854654c)
+ difftool: don't assume that default sh is sane
+ mergetool: don't require a work tree for --tool-help
+ git-sh-setup: move GIT_DIR initialization into a function
+ mergetool: use more conservative temporary filenames
+ test-lib-functions: adjust style to match CodingGuidelines
+ t7610-mergetool: prefer test_config over git config
+ t7610-mergetool: add missing && and remove commented-out code
+ t7610-mergetool: use tabs instead of a mix of tabs and spaces
(this branch is tangled with da/mergetool-temporary-directory, da/mergetool-temporary-filename and da/mergetool-tests.)
Allow "git mergetool --help" to run outside a Git repository.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jc/checkout-local-track-report (2014-10-14) 1 commit
- checkout: report upstream correctly even with loosely defined branch.*.merge
The report from "git checkout" on a branch that builds on another
local branch by setting its branch.*.merge to branch name (not a
full refname) incorrectly said that the upstream is gone.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jc/clone-borrow (2014-10-15) 1 commit
- clone: --dissociate option to mark that reference is only temporary
Allow "git clone --reference" to be used more safely.
* js/completion-hide-not-a-repo (2014-10-14) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-10-17 at 466de3c)
+ completion: silence "fatal: Not a git repository" error
Some internal error messages leaked out of the bash completion when
typing "git cmd <TAB>" and the machinery tried to complete
refnames.
Will merge to 'master'.
* da/mergetool-temporary-filename (2014-10-16) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-10-17 at 3fb95b5)
+ mergetool: use more conservative temporary filenames
(this branch is used by da/mergetool-temporary-directory; uses da/mergetool-tests; is tangled with da/mergetool-tool-help.)
Tweak the names of the three throw-away files "git mergetool" comes
up with to feed the merge tool backend, so that a file with a
single dot in its name in the original (e.g. "hello.c") will have
only one dot in these variants (e.g. "hello_BASE_4321.c").
Will merge to 'master'.
* jc/push-cert-hmac-optim (2014-09-25) 2 commits
- receive-pack: truncate hmac early and convert only necessary bytes
- sha1_to_hex: split out "hex-format n bytes" helper and use it
This is "we could do this if we wanted to", not "we measured and it
improves performance critical codepath".
Will perhaps drop.
* nd/multiple-work-trees (2014-09-27) 32 commits
. t2025: add a test to make sure grafts is working from a linked checkout
. checkout: don't require a work tree when checking out into a new one

A replacement for contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir that does not
rely on symbolic links and make sharing of objects and refs safer
by making the borrowee and borrowers aware of each other.
A few tests need some tweaks for MinGW ($gmane/{257756,257757}).
Conflicts with rs/ref-transaction so ejected for now, waiting for a
reroll.
* mt/patch-id-stable (2014-06-10) 1 commit
- patch-id: change default to stable
Teaches "git patch-id" to compute the patch ID that does not change
when the files in a single patch is reordered. As this new algorithm
is backward incompatible, the last bit to flip it to be the default
is left out of 'master' for now.
Nobody seems to be jumping up & down requesting this last step,
which makes the result somewhat backward incompatible.
Will perhaps drop.
--------------------------------------------------
[Discarded]
* rr/mergetool-temporary-filename-tweak (2014-08-21) 1 commit
. Allow the user to change the temporary file name for mergetool
Needed rerolling (new paragraph in doc seems to be in a wrong place)
for quite some time but without any activity.
* cb/mergetool-difftool (2014-07-21) 2 commits
. difftool: don't assume that default sh is sane
. mergetool: don't require a work tree for --tool-help

. t9903: move test name prefix to a separate variable
. t9903: put the Bash pc mode prompt test cases in a function
. t9903: remove Zsh test from the suite of Bash prompt tests
Was expecting a reroll to limit the damage to test_eval_; also
reported to be broken with older zsh that are still in the field
($gmane/251231).
