Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.
I'll be offline til Monday 21st, when 2.6-rc3 is planned to happen.
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

Reroll to base on wt-status work ($gmane/265142) has seen some
positive discussions.
Waiting for a further polished reroll ($gmane/265534).
* 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

Many codepaths use unchecked use of strtol() and friends (or even
worse, atoi()). Introduce a set of wrappers that try to be more
careful.
Waiting for a reroll.
($gmane/268058).
* kk/log-merges-config (2015-04-21) 5 commits
- bash-completion: add support for git-log --merges= and log.merges
- t4202-log: add tests for --merges=
- Documentation: add git-log --merges= option and log.merges config. var
- log: honor log.merges= option
- revision: add --merges={show|only|hide} option
"git log" (but not other commands in the "log" family) learned to
pay attention to the log.merges configuration variable that can be
set to "show" (the normal behaviour), "only" (hide non-merge
commits), or "hide" (hide merge commits). --merges=(show|only|hide)
can be used to override the setting from the command line.
The documentation may need to be updated once more ($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 $gmane/266962
Waiting for a reroll.
with updated log message ($gmane/268061).
* bw/portability-solaris (2015-07-20) 3 commits
- tests: fix sed usage in tests to work around broken xpg4/sed on Solaris
- tests: fix sed usage in tests to work around broken xpg4/sed on Solaris

Needs another reroll?
($gmane/274296)
* jc/clone-bundle (2015-04-30) 1 commit
- repack: optionally create a clone.bundle
Waiting for further work.
Still an early WIP.
* mg/index-read-error-messages (2015-06-01) 2 commits
- messages: uniform error messages for index write
- show-index: uniform error messages for index read
The tip was RFC.
Waiting for a reroll.
* wp/sha1-name-negative-match (2015-06-08) 2 commits
- sha1_name.c: introduce '^{/!-<negative pattern>}' notation
- test for '!' handling in rev-parse's named commits
Introduce "branch^{/!-<pattern>}" notation to name a commit
reachable from branch that does not match the given pattern.
Waiting for a reroll.
* mk/utf8-no-iconv-warn (2015-06-08) 1 commit
- utf8.c: print warning about disabled iconv
Warn when a reencoding is requested in a build without iconv
support, as the end user is likely to get an unexpected result. I
think the same level of safety should be added to a build with
iconv support when the specified encoding is not available, but the
patch does not go there.
Waiting for a reroll.
* ak/format-patch-odir-config (2015-06-19) 1 commit
- format-patch: introduce format.outputDirectory configuration
Reroll exists but didn't pick it up as it seemed to be still
collecting review comments.
Waiting for a reroll.
($gmane/272180).
* mh/notes-allow-reading-treeish (2015-07-13) 1 commit
- notes: allow treeish expressions as notes ref
Some "git notes" operations, e.g. "git log --notes=<note>", should
be able to read notes from any tree-ish that is shaped like a notes
tree, but the notes infrastructure required that the argument must
be a ref under refs/notes/. Loosen it to require a valid ref only
when the operation would update the notes (in which case we must
have a place to store the updated notes tree, iow, a ref).
Needs update to docs.
($gmane/273928)
* jc/diff-b-m (2015-02-23) 5 commits
. WIPWIP
. WIP: diff-b-m
- diffcore-rename: allow easier debugging
- diffcore-rename.c: add locate_rename_src()
- diffcore-break: allow debugging
"git diff -B -M" produced incorrect patch when the postimage of a
completely rewritten file is similar to the preimage of a removed
file; such a resulting file must not be expressed as a rename from
other place.
The fix in this patch is broken, unfortunately.
* pw/remote-set-url-fetch (2014-11-26) 1 commit
. remote: add --fetch and --both options to set-url
Ejected.
* tr/remerge-diff (2014-11-10) 9 commits
. t4213: avoid "|" in sed regexp
. log --remerge-diff: show what the conflict resolution changed
. name-hash: allow dir hashing even when !ignore_case
. merge-recursive: allow storing conflict hunks in index
. merge_diff_mode: fold all merge diff variants into an enum
. combine-diff: do not pass revs->dense_combined_merges redundantly
. merge-recursive: -Xindex-only to leave worktree unchanged
. merge-recursive: internal flag to avoid touching the worktree
. merge-recursive: remove dead conditional in update_stages()
"log -p" output learns a new way to let users inspect a merge
commit by showing the differences between the automerged result
with conflicts the person who recorded the merge would have seen
and the final conflict resolution that was recorded in the merge.
Waiting for a reroll.
($gmane/256591).
* 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]
* ld/p4-detached-head (2015-09-09) 2 commits
- git-p4: work with a detached head
- git-p4: add failing test for submit from detached head
Will be rerolled.
($gmane/277574)
* jk/graph-format-padding (2015-09-14) 1 commit
- pretty: pass graph width to pretty formatting for use in '%>|(N)'
Redefine the way '%>|(N)' padding and the "--graph" option
interacts. It has been that the available columns to display the
log message was measured from the edge of the area the graph ended,
but with this it becomes the beginning of the entire output.
I have a suspicion that 50% of the users would appreciate this
change, and the remainder see this break their expectation. If
that is the case, we might need to introduce a similar but
different alignment operator so that this new behaviour is
available to those who want to use it, without negatively affecting
existing uses.
* jk/make-findstring-makeflags-fix (2015-09-10) 1 commit
- Makefile: fix MAKEFLAGS tests with multiple flags
Customization to change the behaviour with "make -w" and "make -s"
in our Makefile was broken when they were used together.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jk/rebase-no-autostash (2015-09-10) 2 commits
- Documentation/git-rebase: fix --no-autostash formatting
- rebase: support --no-autostash
There was no way to defeat a configured rebase.autostash variable
from the command line, as "git rebase --no-autostash" was missing.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jw/make-arflags-customizable (2015-09-10) 1 commit
- Makefile: allow $(ARFLAGS) specified from the command line
The Makefile always runs the library archiver with hardcoded "crs"
options, which was inconvenient for exotic platforms on which
people wants to use programs with totally different set of command
line options.
Will merge to 'next'.
* nd/ignore-then-not-ignore (2015-09-14) 2 commits
- dir.c: don't exclude whole dir prematurely if neg pattern may match
- dir.c: make last_exclude_matching_from_list() run til the end
Allow a later "!/abc/def" to override an earlier "/abc" that
appears in the same .gitignore file to make it easier to express
"everything in /abc directory is ignored, except for ...".
* sb/submodule-parallel-fetch (2015-09-14) 2 commits
- fetch: fetch submodules in parallel
- submodule.c: write "Fetching submodule <foo>" to stderr
(this branch uses sb/submodule-helper.)
* mk/submodule-gitdir-path (2015-09-14) 2 commits
- path: implement common_dir handling in git_pathdup_submodule()
- submodule refactor: use strbuf_git_path_submodule() in add_submodule_odb()
The submodule code has been taught to work better with separate
work trees created via "git worktree add".
* jk/connect-clear-env (2015-09-08) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at 86b64f7)
+ git_connect: clarify conn->use_shell flag
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-06 at 9ddbed8)
+ git_connect: clear GIT_* environment for ssh
The ssh transport, just like any other transport over the network,
did not clear GIT_* environment variables, but it is possible to
use SendEnv and AcceptEnv to leak them to the remote invocation of
Git, which is not a good idea at all. Explicitly clear them just
like we do for the local transport.
Will merge to 'master'.
* ti/glibc-stdio-mutex-from-signal-handler (2015-09-04) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at c8047ba)
+ pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers
Allocation related functions and stdio are unsafe things to call
inside a signal handler, and indeed killing the pager can cause
glibc to deadlock waiting on allocation mutex as our signal handler
tries to free() some data structures in wait_for_pager(). Reduce
these unsafe calls.
I seem to recall Peff had other ideas? Let's revisit this in the
next cycle.
* as/subtree-with-spaces (2015-09-08) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-09 at f3d763d)
+ contrib/subtree: respect spaces in a repository path
+ t7900-subtree: test the "space in a subdirectory name" case
Update "git subtree" (in contrib/) so that it can take whitespaces
in the pathnames, not only in the in-tree pathname but the name of
the directory that the repository is in.
Will merge to 'master'.
* gb/filter-branch-progress (2015-09-08) 1 commit
- filter-branch: add passed/remaining seconds on progress
Give progress meter to "git filter-branch".
Is a reroll coming?
* jk/interpret-trailers-outside-a-repository (2015-09-08) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-09 at a75fce3)
+ interpret-trailers: allow running outside a repository
Allow "git interpret-trailers" to run outside of a Git repository.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jk/test-lint-forbid-when-finished-in-subshell (2015-09-08) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-09 at 74ede61)
+ test-lib-functions: detect test_when_finished in subshell
+ t7800: don't use test_config in a subshell
+ test-lib-functions: support "test_config -C <dir> ..."
+ t5801: don't use test_when_finished in a subshell
+ t7610: don't use test_config in a subshell
Because "test_when_finished" in our test framework queues the
clean-up tasks to be done in a shell variable, it should not be
used inside a subshell. Add a mechanism to allow 'bash' to catch
such uses, and fix the ones that were found.
Will merge to 'master'.
* ls/p4-lfs (2015-09-09) 5 commits
- git-p4: add Git LFS backend for large file system
- git-p4: add support for large file systems
- git-p4: return an empty list if a list config has no values
- git-p4: add gitConfigInt reader
- git-p4: add optional type specifier to gitConfig reader
Teach "git p4" to send large blobs outside the repository by
talking to Git LFS.
* nd/clone-linked-checkout (2015-09-14) 5 commits
- clone: better error when --reference is a linked checkout
- clone: allow --local from a linked checkout
- enter_repo: allow .git files in strict mode
- enter_repo: avoid duplicating logic, use is_git_directory() instead
- path.c: delete an extra space
It was not possible to use a repository-lookalike created by "git
worktree add" as a local source of "git clone".
Will be rerolled.
($gmane/277815)
* jh/quiltimport-explicit-series-file (2015-09-01) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-02 at 1129ca4)
+ git-quiltimport: add commandline option --series <file>
"quiltimport" allows to specify the series file by honoring the
$QUILT_SERIES environment and also --series command line option.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jk/async-pkt-line (2015-09-01) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-02 at e185717)
+ pkt-line: show packets in async processes as "sideband"
+ run-command: provide in_async query function
The debugging infrastructure for pkt-line based communication has
been improved to mark the side-band communicatio specifically.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jk/date-local (2015-09-03) 11 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at 66781d9)
+ t6300: add tests for "-local" date formats
+ t6300: make UTC and local dates different
+ date: make "local" orthogonal to date format
+ date: check for "local" before anything else
+ t6300: add test for "raw" date format
+ t6300: introduce test_date() helper
+ fast-import: switch crash-report date to iso8601
+ Documentation/rev-list: don't list date formats
+ Documentation/git-for-each-ref: don't list date formats
+ Documentation/config: don't list date formats
+ Documentation/blame-options: don't list date formats
"git log --date=local" used to only allow to show the normal
(default) format in the local timezone. The command learned to take
'local' as an instruction to use the local timezone with other
formats, e.g. "git show --date=rfc-local".
Will merge to 'master'.
* nk/stash-show-config (2015-08-31) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at 90dd06f)
+ stash: allow "stash show" diff output configurable
Users who are too busy to type three extra keystrokes to ask for
"git stash show -p" can now set stash.showPatch configuration
varible to true to always see the actual patch, not just the list
of paths affected with feel for the extent of damage via diffstat.
Will merge to 'master'.
* ls/p4-path-encoding (2015-09-16) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-17 at 7f8b9e0)
+ git-p4: improve path encoding verbose output
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at 56514f9)
+ git-p4: add config git-p4.pathEncoding
"git p4" learned to reencode the pathname it uses to communicate
with the p4 depot with a new option.
Will merge to 'master'.
* ad/bisect-terms (2015-08-03) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-01 at ede6e64)
+ bisect: allow setting any user-specified in 'git bisect start'
+ bisect: add 'git bisect terms' to view the current terms
+ bisect: add the terms old/new
+ bisect: sanity check on terms
The use of 'good/bad' in "git bisect" made it confusing to use when
hunting for a state change that is not a regression (e.g. bugfix).
The command learned 'old/new' and then allows the end user to
say e.g. "bisect start --term-old=fast --term=new=slow" to find a
performance regression.
Michael's idea to make 'good/bad' more intelligent does have
certain attractiveness ($gname/272867), and makes some of the work
on this topic a moot point.
Will merge to 'master'.
* dt/refs-bisection (2015-09-01) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at 2b66bad)
+ refs: make refs/bisect/* per-worktree
+ path: optimize common dir checking
+ refs: clean up common_list
Move the refs used during a "git bisect" session to per-worktree
hierarchy refs/worktree/* so that independent bisect sessions can
be done in different worktrees.
Will merge to 'master'.
* ld/p4-import-labels (2015-08-28) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-01 at cf9f1d6)
+ git-p4: fix P4 label import for unprocessed commits
+ git-p4: do not terminate creating tag for unknown commit
+ git-p4: failing test for ignoring invalid p4 labels
Will merge to 'master'.
* kn/for-each-tag (2015-09-17) 17 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-09-17 at 1980952)
+ tag.c: implement '--merged' and '--no-merged' options
+ tag.c: implement '--format' option
+ tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs
+ tag.c: use 'ref-filter' data structures
+ ref-filter: add option to match literal pattern

+ ref-filter: introduce handler function for each atom
+ utf8: add function to align a string into given strbuf
+ ref-filter: introduce ref_formatting_state and ref_formatting_stack
+ ref-filter: move `struct atom_value` to ref-filter.c
+ strtoul_ui: reject negative values
+ Merge 'jk/git-path' into kn/for-each-tag
+ Merge 'kn/for-each-tag-branch' into kn/for-each-tag
(this branch uses kn/for-each-tag-branch.)
The "ref-filter" code was taught about many parts of what "tag -l"
does and then "tag -l" is reimplemented in terms of "ref-filter".
Will merge to 'master'.
* nd/ita-cleanup (2015-09-06) 6 commits
- grep: make it clear i-t-a entries are ignored
- checkout(-index): do not checkout i-t-a entries
- apply: make sure check_preimage() does not leave empty file on error
- apply: fix adding new files on i-t-a entries
- add and use a convenience macro ce_intent_to_add()
- blame: remove obsolete comment
Paths that have been told the index about with "add -N" are not yet
in the index, but various commands behaved as if they already are.
Some commits need better explanation.
Waiting for a reroll.
* dk/gc-idx-wo-pack (2015-08-17) 3 commits
- DONTMERGE: log message, grace-period and tests $gmane/276058
- gc: remove stale .idx files without corresponding .pack file
- prepare_packed_git(): refactor garbage reporting in pack directory
Having a leftover .idx file without correspoinding .pack file in
the repository hurts performance; "git gc" learned to prune them.
Waiting for a reroll.
* bb/remote-get-url (2015-09-17) 1 commit
- remote: add get-url subcommand
"git remote" learned "get-url" subcommand to show the URL for a
given remote name used for fetching and pushing.
Will merge to 'next'.
* sb/submodule-helper (2015-09-08) 4 commits
- submodule: rewrite `module_clone` shell function in C
- submodule: rewrite `module_name` shell function in C
- submodule: rewrite `module_list` shell function in C
- Merge 'hv/submodule-config' to 'sb/submodule-helper'
(this branch is used by sb/submodule-parallel-fetch.)
The infrastructure to rewrite "git submodule" in C is being built
incrementally. Let's polish these early parts well enough and make
them graduate to 'next' and 'master', so that the more involved
follow-up can start cooking on a solid ground.
Looked ready for 'next'. Comments from others?
* ad/cygwin-wants-rename (2015-08-07) 1 commit
- config.mak.uname: Cygwin needs OBJECT_CREATION_USES_RENAMES
Will hold.
($gmane/275680).

+ ref-filter: implement '--points-at' option
+ tag: libify parse_opt_points_at()
+ t6302: for-each-ref tests for ref-filter APIs
(this branch is used by kn/for-each-tag.)
Originally merged to 'next' on 2015-07-15
Some features from "git tag -l" and "git branch -l" have been made
available to "git for-each-ref" so that eventually the unified
implementation can be shared across all three, in a follow-up
series or two.
Will merge to 'master'.

- rerere: split conflict ID further
(this branch uses jc/rerere.)
"git rerere" can encounter two or more files with the same conflict
signature that have to be resolved in different ways, but there was
no way to record these separate resolutions.

+ merge: drop 'git merge <message> HEAD <commit>' syntax
Originally merged to 'next' on 2015-05-28
Stop supporting "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>" syntax that
has been deprecated since October 2007.
Will keep in 'next' during the 2.6 cycle.
