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 "untracked cache" series is in 'next', to give it a wider exposure. I do not use it personally, but it is meant to make life easier for those with large amount of untracked cruft in their working trees. Please try it out and report successes (and of course breakages, too). 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 -------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to "master"] * bc/connect-plink (2015-04-28) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-05 at 9def2e1) + connect: improve check for plink to reduce false positives + t5601: fix quotation error leading to skipped tests + connect: simplify SSH connection code path The connection initiation code for "ssh" transport tried to absorb differences between the stock "ssh" and Putty-supplied "plink" and its derivatives, but the logic to tell that we are using "plink" variants were too loose and falsely triggered when "plink" appeared anywhere in the path (e.g. "/home/me/bin/uplink/ssh"). * fg/document-commit-message-stripping (2015-04-27) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-05 at 1892a99) + Documentation: clarify how "git commit" cleans up the edited log message * jc/gitignore-precedence (2015-04-22) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-05 at 6ef85da) + ignore: info/exclude should trump core.excludesfile core.excludesfile (defaulting to $XDG_HOME/git/ignore) is supposed to be overridden by repository-specific .git/info/exclude file, but the order was swapped from the beginning. This belatedly fixes it. * jc/merge (2015-04-29) 15 commits (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-07 at 1c56512) + merge: deprecate 'git merge <message> HEAD <commit>' syntax + merge: handle FETCH_HEAD internally + merge: decide if we auto-generate the message early in collect_parents() + merge: make collect_parents() auto-generate the merge message + merge: extract prepare_merge_message() logic out + merge: narrow scope of merge_names + merge: split reduce_parents() out of collect_parents() + merge: clarify collect_parents() logic + merge: small leakfix and code simplification + merge: do not check argc to determine number of remote heads + merge: clarify "pulling into void" special case + t5520: test pulling an octopus into an unborn branch + t5520: style fixes + merge: simplify code flow + merge: test the top-level merge driver (this branch is used by jc/merge-drop-old-syntax and pt/pull-tests.) "git merge FETCH_HEAD" learned that the previous "git fetch" could be to create an Octopus merge, i.e. recording multiple branches that are not marked as "not-for-merge"; this allows us to lose an old style invocation "git merge <msg> HEAD $commits..." in the implementation of "git pull" script; the old style syntax can now be deprecated. * jc/test-prereq-validate (2015-04-28) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-05 at a30464c) + test: validate prerequistes syntax Help us to find broken test script that splits the body part of the test by mistaken use of wrong kind of quotes. * jk/git-no-more-argv0-path-munging (2015-04-22) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-05 at b3f9a45) + stop putting argv[0] dirname at front of PATH We have prepended $GIT_EXEC_PATH and the path "git" is installed in (typically "/usr/bin") to $PATH when invoking subprograms and hooks for almost eternity, but the original use case the latter tried to support was semi-bogus (i.e. install git to /opt/foo/git and run it without having /opt/foo on $PATH), and more importantly it has become less and less relevant as Git grew more mainstream (i.e. the users would _want_ to have it on their $PATH). Stop prepending the path in which "git" is installed to users' $PATH, as that would interfere the command search order people depend on (e.g. they may not like versions of programs that are unrelated to Git in /usr/bin and want to override them by having different ones in /usr/local/bin and have the latter directory earlier in their $PATH). * jk/stash-require-clean-index (2015-04-22) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-05 at b5f6c32) + stash: require a clean index to apply + t3903: avoid applying onto dirty index + t3903: stop hard-coding commit sha1s "git stash pop/apply" forgot to make sure that not just the working tree is clean but also the index is clean. The latter is important as a stash application can conflict and the index will be used for conflict resolution. * jk/test-chain-lint (2015-04-28) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-05 at e6f0290) + test-lib: turn on GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT by default + t7502-commit.sh: fix a broken and-chain Developer support to automatically detect broken &&-chain in the test scripts is now turned on by default. * kn/cat-file-literally (2015-05-06) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-12 at 04b29b5) + t1006: add tests for git cat-file --allow-unknown-type + cat-file: teach cat-file a '--allow-unknown-type' option + cat-file: make the options mutually exclusive + sha1_file: support reading from a loose object of unknown type Add the "--allow-unknown-type" option to "cat-file" to allow inspecting loose objects of an experimental or a broken type. * nd/diff-i-t-a (2015-03-23) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-05 at cba9cd9) + diff-lib.c: adjust position of i-t-a entries in diff Originally merged to 'next' on 2015-03-24 After "git add -N", the path appeared in output of "git diff HEAD" and "git diff --cached HEAD", leading "git status" to classify it as "Changes to be committed". Such a path, however, is not yet to be scheduled to be committed. "git diff" showed the change to the path as modification, not as a "new file", in the header of its output. Treat such paths as "yet to be added to the index but Git already know about them"; "git diff HEAD" and "git diff --cached HEAD" should not talk about them, and "git diff" should show them as new files yet to be added to the index. * nd/dwim-wildcards-as-pathspecs (2015-05-03) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-07 at 8176de7) + pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is used A heuristic to help the "git <cmd> <revs> <pathspec>" command line convention to catch mistyped paths is to make sure all the non-rev parameters in the later part of the command line are names of the files in the working tree, but that means "git grep $str -- \*.c" must always be disambiguated with "--", because nobody sane will create a file whose name literally is asterisk-dot-see. Loosen the heuristic to declare that with a wildcard string the user likely meant to give us a pathspec. * ph/rebase-i-redo (2015-04-29) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-07 at 8fc1f52) + rebase -i: redo tasks that die during cherry-pick "git rebase -i" moved the "current" command from "todo" to "done" a bit too prematurely, losing a step when a "pick" did not even start. * sb/ref-lock-lose-lock-fd (2015-05-10) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-12 at dde9be1) + refs.c: remove lock_fd from struct ref_lock The refs API uses ref_lock struct which had its own "int fd", even though the same file descriptor was in the lock struct it contains. Clean-up the code to lose this redundant field. -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * ja/tutorial-asciidoctor-fix (2015-05-12) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-19 at f15d940) + doc: fix unmatched code fences A literal block in the tutorial had lines with unequal lengths to delimit it from the rest of the document, which choke GitHub's AsciiDoc renderer. Will merge to 'master'. * jk/stripspace-asciidoctor-fix (2015-05-12) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-19 at 12f9059) + doc: fix unmatched code fences in git-stripspace A literal block in the tutorial had lines with unequal lengths to delimit it from the rest of the document, which choke GitHub's AsciiDoc renderer. Will merge to 'master'. * dt/cat-file-follow-symlinks (2015-05-14) 3 commits - cat-file: add --follow-symlinks to --batch - sha1_name: get_sha1_with_context learns to follow symlinks - tree-walk: learn get_tree_entry_follow_symlinks "git cat-file --batch(-check)" learned the "--follow-symlinks" option that follows an in-tree symblic links when asked about an object via extended SHA-1 syntax, e.g. HEAD:RelNotes that points at Documentation/RelNotes/2.5.0.txt. With the new option, the command behaves as if HEAD:Documentation/RelNotes/2.5.0.txt was given as input instead. Will merge to 'next'. * jk/add-e-kill-editor (2015-05-12) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-19 at 9e01174) + add: check return value of launch_editor "git add -e" did not allow the user to abort the operation by killing the editor. Will merge to 'master'. * jk/asciidoc-markup-fix (2015-05-14) 9 commits (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-19 at df0c63e) + doc: convert AsciiDoc {?foo} to ifdef::foo[] + doc: put example URLs and emails inside literal backticks + doc: drop backslash quoting of some curly braces + doc: convert \--option to --option + doc/add: reformat `--edit` option + doc: fix length of underlined section-title + doc: fix hanging "+"-continuation + doc: fix unquoted use of "{type}" + doc: fix misrendering due to `single quote' Various documentation mark-up fixes to make the output more consistent in general and also make AsciiDoctor (an alternative formatter) happier. Will merge to 'master'. * mh/ref-directory-file (2015-05-11) 18 commits (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-19 at 38eb122) + reflog_expire(): integrate lock_ref_sha1_basic() errors into ours + ref_transaction_commit(): delete extra "the" from error message + ref_transaction_commit(): provide better error messages + rename_ref(): integrate lock_ref_sha1_basic() errors into ours + lock_ref_sha1_basic(): improve diagnostics for ref D/F conflicts + lock_ref_sha1_basic(): report errors via a "struct strbuf *err" + verify_refname_available(): report errors via a "struct strbuf *err" + verify_refname_available(): rename function + refs: check for D/F conflicts among refs created in a transaction + ref_transaction_commit(): use a string_list for detecting duplicates + is_refname_available(): use dirname in first loop + struct nonmatching_ref_data: store a refname instead of a ref_entry + report_refname_conflict(): inline function + entry_matches(): inline function + is_refname_available(): convert local variable "dirname" to strbuf + is_refname_available(): avoid shadowing "dir" variable + is_refname_available(): revamp the comments + t1404: new tests of ref D/F conflicts within transactions The ref API did not handle cases where 'refs/heads/xyzzy/frotz' is removed at the same time as 'refs/heads/xyzzy' is added (or vice versa) very well. Will merge to 'master'. * dt/clean-pathspec-filter-then-lstat (2015-05-18) 1 commit - clean: only lstat files in pathspec "git clean pathspec..." tried to lstat(2) and complain even for paths outside the given pathspec. Will merge to 'next'. * jh/filter-empty-contents (2015-05-18) 1 commit - sha1_file: pass empty buffer to index empty file The clean/smudge interface did not work well when filtering an empty contents (failed and then passed the empty input through). It can be argued that a filter that produces anything but empty for an empty input is nonsense, but if the user wants to do strange things, then why not? Will merge to 'next'. * jk/http-backend-deadlock (2015-05-15) 2 commits - http-backend: spool ref negotiation requests to buffer - http-backend: fix die recursion with custom handler Communication between the HTTP server and http_backend process can lead to a dead-lock when relaying a large ref negotiation request. Diagnose the situation better, and mitigate it by reading such a request first into core (to a reasonable limit). Will merge to 'next'. * jk/rerere-forget-check-enabled (2015-05-14) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-19 at bfe67dc) + rerere: exit silently on "forget" when rerere is disabled "git rerere forget" in a repository without rerere enabled gave a cryptic error message; it should be a silent no-op instead. Will merge to 'master'. * lm/squelch-bg-progress (2015-05-19) 1 commit - progress: treat "no terminal" as being in the foreground The controlling tty-based heuristics to squelch progress output did not consider that the process may not be talking to a tty at all (e.g. sending the progress to sideband #2). This is a finishing touch to a topic that is already in 'master'. Will merge to 'next'. * mg/log-decorate-HEAD (2015-05-13) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-19 at 009342b) + log: do not shorten decoration names too early + log: decorate HEAD with branch name under --decorate=full, too The "log --decorate" enhancement in Git 2.4 that shows the commit at the tip of the current branch e.g. "HEAD -> master", did not work with --decorate=full. Will merge to 'master'. * mh/clone-verbosity-fix (2015-05-19) 1 commit - clone: call transport_set_verbosity before anything else on the newly created transport Git 2.4 broke setting verbosity and progress levels on "git clone" with native transports. Will merge to 'next'. * mh/lockfile-retry (2015-05-14) 2 commits - lock_packed_refs(): allow retries when acquiring the packed-refs lock - lockfile: allow file locking to be retried with a timeout Instead of dying immediately upon failing to obtain a lock, retry after a short while with backoff. Will merge to 'next'. * mm/log-format-raw-doc (2015-05-18) 3 commits - SQUASH - Documentation/log: clarify sha1 non-abbreviation in log --raw - Documentation/log: clarify what --raw means Clarify that "log --raw" and "log --format=raw" are unrelated concepts. Will merge to 'next' after squashing the fixup. * ps/doc-packfile-vs-pack-file (2015-05-17) 3 commits - pack-protocol.txt: fix insconsistent spelling of "packfile" - git-unpack-objects.txt: fix inconsistent spelling of "packfile" - git-verify-pack.txt: fix inconsistent spelling of "packfile" Doc consistency updates. I am not sure if this is unifying in the right direction, though. * pt/pull-ff-vs-merge-ff (2015-05-18) 2 commits - pull: parse pull.ff as a bool or string - pull: make pull.ff=true override merge.ff The pull.ff configuration was supposed to override the merge.ff configuration, but it didn't. Will merge to 'next'. * pt/pull-log-n (2015-05-18) 1 commit - pull: handle --log=<n> "git pull --log" and "git pull --no-log" worked as expected, but "git pull --log=20" did not. Will merge to 'next'. * pt/pull-tags-error-diag (2015-05-14) 1 commit - pull: remove --tags error in no merge candidates case There was a dead code that used to handle "git pull --tags" and show special-cased error message, which was made irrelevant when the semantics of the option changed back in Git 1.9 days. Will merge to 'next'. * rs/plug-leak-in-pack-bitmaps (2015-05-19) 1 commit - pack-bitmaps: plug memory leak, fix allocation size for recent_bitmaps The code to memoise recently used pack bitmaps were totally broken. Will merge to 'next'. * sb/t1020-cleanup (2015-05-18) 1 commit - subdirectory tests: code cleanup, uncomment test There was a commented-out (instead of being marked to expect failure) test that documented a breakage that was fixed since the test was written; turn it into a proper test. Will merge to 'next'. * sg/completion-config (2015-05-12) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-19 at c83fde1) + completion: simplify query for config variables + completion: add a helper function to get config variables Code clean-up for completion script (in contrib/). Will merge to 'master'. * sg/help-group (2015-05-18) 5 commits - help: respect new common command grouping - command-list.txt: drop the "common" tag - generate-cmdlist: parse common group commands - command-list.txt: add the common groups block - command-list: prepare machinery for upcoming "common groups" section (this branch uses sg/help-subcommands.) Group list of commands shown by "git help" along the workflow elements to help early learners. * jc/ignore-epipe-in-filter (2015-05-19) 2 commits - filter_buffer_or_fd(): ignore EPIPE - copy.c: make copy_fd() report its status silently Filter scripts were run with SIGPIPE disabled on the Git side, expecting that they may not read what Git feeds them to filter. We however treated a filter that does not read its input fully before exiting as an error. This changes semantics, but arguably in a good way. If a filter can produce its output without consuming its input using whatever magic, we now let it do so, instead of diagnosing it as a programming error. -------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * kk/log-merges-config (2015-04-21) 5 commits - bash-completion: add support for git-log --merges= and log.merges - t4202-log: add tests for --merges= - Documentation: add git-log --merges= option and log.merges config. var - log: honor log.merges= option - revision: add --merges={show|only|hide} option "git log" (but not other commands in the "log" family) learned to pay attention to the log.merges configuration variable that can be set to "show" (the normal behaviour), "only" (hide non-merge commits), or "hide" (hide merge commits). --merges=(show|only|hide) can be used to override the setting from the command line. The documentation may need to be updated once more ($gmane/267250). Waiting for a reroll. * mg/httpd-tests-update-for-apache-2.4 (2015-04-08) 2 commits - t/lib-git-svn: check same httpd module dirs as lib-httpd - t/lib-httpd: load mod_unixd This is the first two commits in a three-patch series $gmane/266962 Will be rerolled. with updated log message ($gmane/268061). * mh/numparse (2015-03-19) 14 commits - diff_opt_parse(): use convert_i() when handling --abbrev=<num> - diff_opt_parse(): use convert_i() when handling "-l<num>" - opt_arg(): simplify pointer handling - opt_arg(): report errors parsing option values - opt_arg(): use convert_i() in implementation - opt_arg(): val is always non-NULL - builtin_diff(): detect errors when parsing --unified argument - handle_revision_opt(): use convert_ui() when handling "--abbrev=" - strtoul_ui(), strtol_i(): remove functions - handle_revision_opt(): use convert_i() when handling "-<digit>" - handle_revision_opt(): use skip_prefix() in many places - write_subdirectory(): use convert_ui() for parsing mode - cacheinfo_callback(): use convert_ui() when handling "--cacheinfo" - numparse: new module for parsing integral numbers Many codepaths use unchecked use of strtol() and friends (or even worse, atoi()). Introduce a set of wrappers that try to be more careful. Will be rerolled. ($gmane/268058). * tf/gitweb-project-listing (2015-03-19) 5 commits - gitweb: make category headings into links when they are directories - gitweb: optionally set project category from its pathname - gitweb: add a link under the search box to clear a project filter - gitweb: if the PATH_INFO is incomplete, use it as a project_filter - gitweb: fix typo in man page Update gitweb to make it more pleasant to deal with a hierarchical forest of repositories. Any comments from those who use or have their own code in Gitweb? * jc/a-lone-dash-stands-for-previous-branch (2015-03-16) 1 commit - "-" and "@{-1}" on various programs Lose special case code to make a lone dash "-" mean the previous branch aka "@{-1}" from a handful subcommands, and instead support the notation throughout the system by reimplementing it at the revisions layer. Needs tests, documentation updates, etc. Also does only a half-way job dealing with range notation, which needs to be fixed before the series goes anywhere. * nd/list-files (2015-02-09) 21 commits - t3080: tests for git-list-files - list-files: -M aka diff-cached - list-files -F: show submodules with the new indicator '&' - list-files: add -F/--classify - list-files: show directories as well as files - list-files: do not show duplicate cached entries - list-files: sort output and remove duplicates - list-files: add -t back - list-files: add -1 short for --no-column - list-files: add -R/--recursive short for --max-depth=-1 - list-files: -u does not imply showing stages - list-files: make alias 'ls' default to 'list-files' - list-files: a user friendly version of ls-files and more - ls-files: support --max-depth - ls-files: add --column - ls-files: add --color to highlight file names - ls-files: buffer full item in strbuf before printing - ls_colors.c: highlight submodules like directories - ls_colors.c: add a function to color a file name - ls_colors.c: parse color.ls.* from config file - ls_colors.c: add $LS_COLORS parsing code A new "git list-files" Porcelain command, "ls-files" with bells and whistles. Reroll to base on wt-status work ($gmane/265142) has seen some positive discussions. Waiting for a further polished reroll ($gmane/265534). * js/fsck-opt (2015-01-21) 19 commits - fsck: support ignoring objects in `git fsck` via fsck.skiplist - fsck: git receive-pack: support excluding objects from fsck'ing - fsck: introduce `git fsck --quick` - fsck: support demoting errors to warnings - fsck: document the new receive.fsck.* options - fsck: allow upgrading fsck warnings to errors - fsck: optionally ignore specific fsck issues completely - fsck: disallow demoting grave fsck errors to warnings - fsck: add a simple test for receive.fsck.* - fsck: make fsck_tag() warn-friendly - fsck: handle multiple authors in commits specially - fsck: make fsck_commit() warn-friendly - fsck: make fsck_ident() warn-friendly - fsck: report the ID of the error/warning - fsck: allow demoting errors to warnings via receive.fsck.warn = <key> - fsck: offer a function to demote fsck errors to warnings - fsck: provide a function to parse fsck message IDs - fsck: introduce identifiers for fsck messages - fsck: introduce fsck options "fsck.warnings = <list of error tokens>" I suggested turned out to be an unpopular choice (sorry Dscho). Expecting a reroll. * nd/pathspec-strip-fix (2015-04-18) 1 commit - pathspec: adjust prefixlen after striping trailing slash Does not quite fix ($gmane/267614). Will discard. * jc/diff-b-m (2015-02-23) 5 commits . WIPWIP . WIP: diff-b-m - diffcore-rename: allow easier debugging - diffcore-rename.c: add locate_rename_src() - diffcore-break: allow debugging "git diff -B -M" produced incorrect patch when the postimage of a completely rewritten file is similar to the preimage of a removed file; such a resulting file must not be expressed as a rename from other place. The fix in this patch is broken, unfortunately. * pw/remote-set-url-fetch (2014-11-26) 1 commit - remote: add --fetch and --both options to set-url Expecting a reroll. * tr/remerge-diff (2014-11-10) 9 commits - t4213: avoid "|" in sed regexp - 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 ($gmane/256591). * hv/submodule-config (2014-11-11) 4 commits - do not die on error of parsing fetchrecursesubmodules option - use new config API for worktree configurations of submodules - extract functions for submodule config set and lookup - implement submodule config cache for lookup of submodule names Kicked back to 'pu' per request ($gmane/255610). * 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. -------------------------------------------------- [Cooking] * nd/untracked-cache (2015-03-12) 24 commits (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-19 at 26e619b) + git-status.txt: advertisement for untracked cache + untracked cache: guard and disable on system changes + mingw32: add uname() + t7063: tests for untracked cache + update-index: test the system before enabling untracked cache + update-index: manually enable or disable untracked cache + status: enable untracked cache + untracked-cache: temporarily disable with $GIT_DISABLE_UNTRACKED_CACHE + untracked cache: mark index dirty if untracked cache is updated + untracked cache: print stats with $GIT_TRACE_UNTRACKED_STATS + untracked cache: avoid racy timestamps + read-cache.c: split racy stat test to a separate function + untracked cache: invalidate at index addition or removal + untracked cache: load from UNTR index extension + untracked cache: save to an index extension + ewah: add convenient wrapper ewah_serialize_strbuf() + untracked cache: don't open non-existent .gitignore + untracked cache: mark what dirs should be recursed/saved + untracked cache: record/validate dir mtime and reuse cached output + untracked cache: make a wrapper around {open,read,close}dir() + untracked cache: invalidate dirs recursively if .gitignore changes + untracked cache: initial untracked cache validation + untracked cache: record .gitignore information and dir hierarchy + dir.c: optionally compute sha-1 of a .gitignore file Teach the index to optionally remember already seen untracked files to speed up "git status" in a working tree with tons of cruft. Will cook in 'next'. * dl/branch-error-message (2015-05-06) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-11 at ed947ab) + branch: do not call a "remote-tracking branch" a "remote branch" Error messages from "git branch" called remote-tracking branches as "remote branches". Will merge to 'master' in the fourth batch. * dl/subtree-push-no-squash (2015-05-07) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-11 at 74d07ca) + contrib/subtree: there's no push --squash "git subtree" script (in contrib/) does not have --squash option when pushing, but the documentation and help text pretended as if it did. Will merge to 'master' in the fourth batch. * ld/p4-editor-multi-words (2015-05-19) 3 commits - git-p4: fix handling of multi-word P4EDITOR - SQUASH??? - git-p4: add failing test for P4EDITOR handling Unlike "$EDITOR" and "$GIT_EDITOR" that can hold the path to the command and initial options (e.g. "/path/to/emacs -nw"), 'git p4' did not let the shell interpolate the contents of the environment variable that name the editor "$P4EDITOR" (and "$EDITOR", too). Make it in line with the rest of Git, as well as with Perforce. * dl/subtree-avoid-tricky-echo (2015-05-08) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2015-05-11 at 36d4f0e) + contrib/subtree: portability fix for string printing "git subtree" script (in contrib/) used "echo -n" to produce progress messages in a non-portable way.
