My whole workspace is at https://github.com/peff/git, if fetching that directly is easier. I just noticed that my refspecs were not configured to push up refs/merge-fix. I've just fixed that and pushed again. I'll leave it that way for a few more days, but then will probably take it back to my usual contributor setup (i.e., just my topics and personal integration branches). Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help with the handoff. > > * bc/object-id (2015-11-20) 12 commits > [...] > > Aside from niggles on titles of a handful of changes in this topic, > I have a bit of concern with this one and dt/refs-backend-pre-vtable > topic (marked as "Will merge to 'master' two cycles from now.", > which I am reading as "two cycles" means 2 x (8-10 week release > cycle), not "two integration cycles by the maintainer, aka two > issues of What's cooking report", which is typically less than a > week). My "two cycles from now" meant "two integration cycles". I seemed to do only about two per week. You can take those all with a grain of salt. It was meant only as a note to myself that the topic seemed risky enough to allow extra cooking time in next. Since your "Meta/cook -w" output shows dates of merges, I imagine you are in the habit of simply looking at those dates and saying "eh, this has been in next for 2 weeks and nobody has complained; that's enough cooking time". > The merge resolution in 'pu' discards what this topic did to refs.c > because much of the original goes away from there, but does it mean > (remember, I haven't caught up with the contents of the topics yet) > that the merge reverts part of what this topic did, and in an ideal > world, if the other one were more mature when this topic got > started, more use of "unsigned char[40]" would have been migrated to > "struct object_id" in new files the other one introduced?

I took the resolution proposed by brian, which was that the refs.c code went away. There was some evil-merge required to make the new refs/files-backend.c compile (in my refs/merge-fix/bc/object-id) for code that moved. I was surprised there wasn't more, but I think it's right. We dropped the _users_ of some sha1/object_id transition code (which is why it doesn't need more fixup to compile). We did not drop any actual function conversions (which might have been wrong but still compiled, if both the function signature and its callers all moved). As it's all part of an incremental conversion anyway, my feeling was that it was OK to move forward as long as it wasn't disturbing topics in flight (assuming we're agreed on the overall direction, which I think is the case). > > * mr/ff-refs (2015-11-28) 6 commits > [...] > > This is another one that needs some evil-merge interaction with > bc/object-id, but I have a feeling that this is not such a good > addition to our workflow elements, so I am not worried too much > about it.

There's another merge-fix for this. I explicitly put this after bc/object-id (requiring another merge-fix, rather than rolling it into the bc/object-id merge fix), because I expected bc/object-id to graduate, and this one to languish in pu or get re-rolled. I agree that ejecting is fine here. > > * ps/rebase-keep-empty (2015-11-24) 2 commits > > - rebase: fix preserving commits with --keep-empty > > - rebase: test broken behavior with --keep-empty > > > > Keep duplicate commits via rebase --keep-empty. > > > > I'm not sure if I agree with this interpretation of the "rebase > > --keep-empty" documentation, but I haven't thought too hard about it. > > Comments welcome. > > "--keep-empty" has always been about keeping an originally empty > commit, not a commit that becomes empty because of rebasing > (i.e. what has already been applied to the updated base).

Yes, the latter. Even though it is "only" the test suite, it gave us enough trouble that I did not want to go to next and then immediately to master in the next cycle (i.e., I wanted to give people time enough to complain if it breaks their "make test" in next). > > * dt/refs-backend-pre-vtable (2015-11-20) 10 commits > > (merged to 'next' on 2015-11-24 at 8fd7293) > > + refs: break out ref conflict checks > > + files_log_ref_write: new function > > + initdb: make safe_create_dir public > > + refs: split filesystem-based refs code into a new file > > + refs/refs-internal.h: new header file > > + refname_is_safe(): improve docstring > > + pack_if_possible_fn(): use ref_type() instead of is_per_worktree_ref() > > + copy_msg(): rename to copy_reflog_msg() > > + verify_refname_available(): new function > > + verify_refname_available(): rename function > > > > Code preparation for pluggable ref backends. > > > > Will merge to 'master' two cycles from now. > > ... that is, I'd very much prefer bc/object-id redone on top of an > updated codebase that already has dt/refs-backend-pre-vtable in it. I think that is OK to do, though I'm not sure the end result will be all that different. -Peff -- 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
