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 ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of the integration branches, but I am still holding onto them. 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/http-empty-auth (2016-02-15) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-18 at 6d2fc88) + http: add option to try authentication without username Some authentication methods do not need username or password, but libcurl needs some hint that it needs to perform authentication. Supplying an empty username and password string is a valid way to do so, but you can set the http.[<url>.]emptyAuth configuration variable to achieve the same, if you find it cleaner. * ce/https-public-key-pinning (2016-02-15) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-18 at f382cf0) + http: implement public key pinning You can now set http.[<url>.]pinnedpubkey to specify the pinned public key when building with recent enough versions of libcURL. * ew/force-ipv4 (2016-02-12) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-18 at d0211b0) + connect & http: support -4 and -6 switches for remote operations "git fetch" and friends that make network connections can now be told to only use ipv4 (or ipv6). * jc/am-i-v-fix (2016-02-17) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-18 at 331e518) + am -i: fix "v"iew + pager: factor out a helper to prepare a child process to run the pager + pager: lose a separate argv[] The "v(iew)" subcommand of the interactive "git am -i" command was broken in 2.6.0 timeframe when the command was rewritten in C. * jk/lose-name-path (2016-02-12) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-18 at 85831a6) + list-objects: pass full pathname to callbacks + list-objects: drop name_path entirely + list-objects: convert name_path to a strbuf + show_object_with_name: simplify by using path_name() + http-push: stop using name_path The "name_path" API was an attempt to reduce the need to construct the full path out of a series of path components while walking a tree hierarchy, but over time made less efficient because the path needs to be flattened, e.g. to be compared with another path that is already flat. The API has been removed and its users have been rewritten to simplify the overall code complexity. * nd/dwim-wildcards-as-pathspecs (2016-02-10) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-18 at fc7caf4) + get_sha1: don't die() on bogus search strings + check_filename: tighten dwim-wildcard ambiguity + checkout: reorder check_filename conditional "git show 'HEAD:Foo[BAR]Baz'" did not interpret the argument as a rev, i.e. the object named by the the pathname with wildcard characters in a tree object. * nd/exclusion-regression-fix (2016-02-15) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-18 at 85412ab) + dir.c: don't exclude whole dir prematurely + dir.c: support marking some patterns already matched + dir.c: support tracing exclude + dir.c: fix match_pathname() Another try to add support to the ignore mechanism that lets you say "this is excluded" and then later say "oh, no, this part (that is a subset of the previous part) is not excluded". * nd/git-common-dir-fix (2016-02-12) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-18 at 957afc5) + rev-parse: take prefix into account in --git-common-dir "git rev-parse --git-common-dir" used in the worktree feature misbehaved when run from a subdirectory. * nd/worktree-add-B (2016-02-15) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-18 at bf77016) + worktree add -B: do the checkout test before update branch + worktree: fix "add -B" "git worktree add -B <branchname>" did not work. * sp/remote-curl-ssl-strerror (2016-02-15) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-18 at 1339fe4) + remote-curl: include curl_errorstr on SSL setup failures Help those who debug http(s) part of the system. -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * jg/credential-cache-chdir-to-sockdir (2016-02-23) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at ad35811) + credential-cache--daemon: change to the socket dir on startup + credential-cache--daemon: disallow relative socket path + credential-cache--daemon: refactor check_socket_directory The "credential-cache" daemon process used to run in whatever directory it happened to start in, but this made umount(2)ing the filesystem that houses the repository harder; now the process chdir()s to the directory that house its own socket on startup. Will merge to 'master'. * jk/no-diff-emit-common (2016-02-22) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-24 at 72626ea) + xdiff: drop XDL_EMIT_COMMON + merge-tree: drop generate_common strategy + merge-one-file: use empty blob for add/add base "git merge-tree" used to mishandle "both sides added" conflict with its own "create a fake ancestor file that has the common parts of what both sides have added and do a 3-way merge" logic; this has been updated to use the usual "3-way merge with an empty blob as the fake common ancestore file" approach used in the rest of the system. Will merge to 'master'. * mm/push-default-warning (2016-02-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at 753352f) + push: remove "push.default is unset" warning message Across the transition at around Git version 2.0, the user used to get a pretty loud warning when running "git push" without setting push.default configuration variable. We started to tone down the warning message, given that the transition is over long time ago. Will merge to 'master'. * mm/push-simple-doc (2016-02-23) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at dc4f57c) + Documentation/git-push: document that 'simple' is the default The documentation did not clearly state that the 'simple' mode is now the default for "git push" when push.default configuration is not set. Will merge to 'master'. * nd/shallow-deepen (2016-02-23) 25 commits - fetch, upload-pack: --deepen=N extends shallow boundary by N commits - upload-pack: add get_reachable_list() - upload-pack: split check_unreachable() in two, prep for get_reachable_list() - t5500, t5539: tests for shallow depth excluding a ref - clone: define shallow clone boundary with --shallow-exclude - fetch: define shallow boundary with --shallow-exclude - upload-pack: support define shallow boundary by excluding revisions - refs: add expand_ref() - t5500, t5539: tests for shallow depth since a specific date - clone: define shallow clone boundary based on time with --shallow-since - fetch: define shallow boundary with --shallow-since - upload-pack: add deepen-since to cut shallow repos based on time - shallow.c: implement a generic shallow boundary finder based on rev-list - fetch-pack: use a separate flag for fetch in deepening mode - fetch-pack: use a common function for verbose printing - fetch-pack: use skip_prefix() instead of starts_with() - upload-pack: move rev-list code out of check_non_tip() - upload-pack: tighten number parsing at "deepen" lines - upload-pack: use skip_prefix() instead of starts_with() - upload-pack: move "unshallow" sending code out of deepen() - upload-pack: remove unused variable "backup" - upload-pack: move "shallow" sending code out of deepen() - upload-pack: move shallow deepen code out of receive_needs() - transport-helper.c: refactor set_helper_option() - remote-curl.c: convert fetch_git() to use argv_array The existing "git fetch --depth=<n>" option was hard to use correctly when making the history of an existing shallow clone deeper. A new option, "--deepen=<n>", has been added to make this easier to use. "git clone" also learned "--shallow-since=<date>" and "--shallow-exclude=<tag>" options to make it easier to specify "I am interested only in the recent N months worth of history" and "Give me only the history since that version". Needs review. * ps/plug-xdl-merge-leak (2016-02-23) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at 523609e) + xdiff/xmerge: fix memory leak in xdl_merge Will merge to 'master'. * jk/epipe-in-async (2016-02-25) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at 4482ddf) + t5504: handle expected output from SIGPIPE death + test_must_fail: report number of unexpected signal + fetch-pack: ignore SIGPIPE in sideband demuxer + write_or_die: handle EPIPE in async threads Handling of errors while writing into our internal asynchronous process has been made more robust, which reduces flakiness in our tests. Will merge to 'master'. * js/config-set-in-non-repository (2016-02-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at a675267) + git config: report when trying to modify a non-existing repo config "git config section.var value" to set a value in per-repository configuration file should have failed when it was run outside any repository, but didn't. Will merge to 'master'. * sb/submodule-module-list-fix (2016-02-24) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at 21be607) + submodule helper list: respect correct path prefix A helper function "git submodule" uses since v2.7.0 to list the modules that match the pathspec argument given to its subcommands (e.g. "submodule add <repo> <path>") has been fixed. Will merge to 'master'. * sb/submodule-fetch-nontip (2016-02-24) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at 1e412f0) + submodule: try harder to fetch needed sha1 by direct fetching sha1 When "git submodule update" did not result in fetching the commit object in the submodule that is referenced by the superproject, the command learned to retry another fetch, specifically asking for that commit that may not be connected to the refs it usually fetches. Will merge to 'master'. * dt/initial-ref-xn-commit-doc (2016-02-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at e32d0f6) + refs: document transaction semantics Will merge to 'master'. * jk/pack-idx-corruption-safety (2016-02-25) 3 commits - use_pack: handle signed off_t overflow - nth_packed_object_offset: bounds-check extended offset - t5313: test bounds-checks of corrupted/malicious pack/idx files The code to read the pack data using the offsets stored in the pack idx file has been made more carefully check the validity of the data in the idx. Will merge to 'next'. * ls/makefile-cflags-developer-tweak (2016-02-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at 14bb065) + add DEVELOPER makefile knob to check for acknowledged warnings There is a new DEVELOPER knob that enables many compiler warning options in the Makefile. Will merge to 'master'. * ma/update-hooks-sample-typofix (2016-02-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at be49c79) + templates/hooks: fix minor typo in the sample update-hook Will merge to 'master'. * mm/diff-renames-default (2016-02-25) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at 947c399) + diff: activate diff.renames by default + log: introduce init_log_defaults() + t: add tests for diff.renames (true/false/unset) + t4001-diff-rename: wrap file creations in a test + Documentation/diff-config: fix description of diff.renames The end-user facing Porcelain level commands like "diff" and "log" now enables the rename detection by default. Will merge to 'master'. * mm/readme-markdown (2016-02-25) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at b8bda29) + README.md: move down historical explanation about the name + README.md: don't call git stupid in the title + README.md: move the link to git-scm.com up + README.md: add hyperlinks on filenames + README: use markdown syntax Move README to README.md and tweak its contents slightly to make it easier on the eyes. Will merge to 'master'. * mp/upload-pack-use-embedded-args (2016-02-25) 1 commit - upload-pack: use argv_array for pack_objects The embedded args argv-array in the child process is used to build the command line to run pack-objects instead of using a separate array of strings. Will merge to 'next'. -------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * ec/annotate-deleted (2015-11-20) 1 commit - annotate: skip checking working tree if a revision is provided Usability fix for annotate-specific "<file> <rev>" syntax with deleted files. Waiting for review. * dg/subtree-rebase-test (2016-01-19) 1 commit - contrib/subtree: Add a test for subtree rebase that loses commits Reviewed up to v5. Will be rerolled. ($gmane/284426) * js/am-3-merge-recursive-direct (2015-10-12) 2 commits - am: make a direct call to merge_recursive - merge_recursive_options: introduce the "gently" flag The merge_recursive_generic() function has been made a bit safer to call from inside a process. "git am -3" was taught to make a direct call to the function when falling back to three-way merge. Being able to make a direct call would be good in general, but as a performance thing, the change needs to be backed up by numbers. Needs review. I haven't gone through the "gently" change with fine toothed comb; I can see that the change avoids calling die(), but I haven't made sure that the program states (e.g. what's in the in-core index) are adjusted sensibly when it returns to the caller instead of dying, or the codepaths that used to die() are free of resource leaks. The original code certainly did not care the program states at the point of dying exactly because it knew it is going to exit, but now they have to care, and they need to be audited. * dk/gc-more-wo-pack (2016-01-13) 4 commits - gc: clean garbage .bitmap files from pack dir - t5304: ensure non-garbage files are not deleted - t5304: test .bitmap garbage files - prepare_packed_git(): find more garbage Follow-on to dk/gc-idx-wo-pack topic, to clean up stale .bitmap and .keep files. Waiting for a reroll. ($gmane/284368). * 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 $gmane/266962 Becoming tired of waiting for a reroll. with updated log message ($gmane/268061). 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. Will discard. -------------------------------------------------- [Cooking] * sb/submodule-init (2016-02-25) 2 commits - submodule: port init from shell to C - submodule: port resolve_relative_url from shell to C (this branch uses sb/submodule-parallel-update; is tangled with dt/refs-backend-lmdb.) Update of "git submodule" to move pieces of logic to C continues. Comments? ($gmane/286092) * ak/extract-argv0-last-dir-sep (2016-02-19) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-24 at f590eb0) + exec_cmd.c: use find_last_dir_sep() for code simplification Code simplification. Will merge to 'master'. * az/p4-bare-no-rebase (2016-02-19) 1 commit - git-p4.py: Don't try to rebase on submit from bare repository "git p4 submit" attempts to do a rebase, which would fail if done in a bare repository. Not doing this rebase would paper over the failure, which is what this patch does, but it is unclear what the side effect of not rebasing is. Needs a better explanation. * ak/git-strip-extension-from-dashed-command (2016-02-21) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-24 at 8a84f91) + git.c: simplify stripping extension of a file in handle_builtin() Code simplification. Will merge to 'master'. * jk/grep-binary-workaround-in-test (2016-02-23) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at 0e96ae8) + t9200: avoid grep on non-ASCII data + t8005: avoid grep on non-ASCII data Recent versions of GNU grep are pickier when their input contains arbitrary binary data, which some of our tests uses. Rewrite the tests to sidestep the problem. Will merge to 'master'. * mg/work-tree-tests (2016-02-20) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at ca8cbb0) + tests: rename work-tree tests to *work-tree* Traditionally, the tests that try commands that work on the contents in the working tree were named with "worktree" in their filenames, but with the recent addition of "git worktree" subcommand, whose tests are also named similarly, it has become harder to tell them apart. The traditional tests have been renamed to use "work-tree" instead in an attempt to differentiate them. Will merge to 'master'. * jk/more-comments-on-textconv (2016-02-22) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-24 at 4ccfdc5) + diff: clarify textconv interface The memory ownership rule of fill_textconv() API, which was a bit tricky, has been documented a bit better. Will merge to 'master'. * cn/deprecate-ssh-git-url (2016-02-15) 1 commit - Disown ssh+git and git+ssh Needs toning down by replacing the condescendence with an explanation and enlightenment.

Will merge to 'master'. * ss/commit-dry-run-resolve-merge-to-no-op (2016-02-17) 1 commit - wt-status.c: set commitable bit if there is a meaningful merge. "git commit --dry-run" reported "No, no, you cannot commit." in one case where "git commit" would have allowed you to commit, and this improves it a little bit ("git commit --dry-run --short" still does not give you the correct answer, for example). * tg/git-remote (2016-02-16) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-18 at 091d43e) + remote: use remote_is_configured() for add and rename + remote: actually check if remote exits + remote: simplify remote_is_configured() + remote: use parse_config_key The internal API to interact with "remote.*" configuration variables has been streamlined.

"git config" learnt a new "--show-origin" option to indicate where the values come from.

A major part of "git submodule update" has been ported to C to take advantage of the recently added framework to run download tasks in parallel. Seems to break tests when merged to the tip of 'pu'. * dt/refs-backend-lmdb (2016-02-25) 34 commits - SQUASH??? Minimum compilation band-aid - tests: add ref-storage argument - refs: tests for lmdb backend - refs: add LMDB refs storage backend - refs: break out resolve_ref_unsafe_submodule - config: read ref storage config on startup - refs: register ref storage backends - svn: learn ref-storage argument - clone: allow ref storage backend to be set for clone - refs: check submodules' ref storage config - init: allow alternate ref strorage to be set for new repos - refs: always handle non-normal refs in files backend - refs: resolve symbolic refs first - refs: on symref reflog expire, lock symref not referrent - refs: don't dereference on rename - refs: allow log-only updates - refs: move duplicate check to common code - refs: make lock generic - refs: handle non-normal ref renames - refs: add method to rename refs - refs: add methods to init refs db - refs: add method for delete_refs - refs: add method for initial ref transaction commit - refs: add methods for reflog - refs: add do_for_each_per_worktree_ref - refs: reduce the visibility of do_for_each_ref() - refs: add method for do_for_each_ref - refs: add methods for misc ref operations - refs: add a backend method structure with transaction functions - refs: move resolve_ref_unsafe into common code - files-backend: break out ref reading - refs: move for_each_*ref* functions into common code - refs: move head_ref{,_submodule} to the common code - Merge branch 'sb/submodule-parallel-update' into dt/refs-backend-lmdb (this branch uses sb/submodule-parallel-update; is tangled with sb/submodule-init.)

Needs further work on forget/gc. * jc/merge-drop-old-syntax (2015-04-29) 1 commit - merge: drop 'git merge <message> HEAD <commit>' syntax Stop supporting "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>" syntax that has been deprecated since October 2007. It has been reported that git-gui still uses the deprecated syntax, which needs to be fixed before this final step can proceed.

It would be a different story if another compiler had the same feature implemented using a different syntax, in which case we could use conditionally #define what FORMAT_PRINTF(a,b) expands to, but because we do not have such a compiler supported, this change is a net negative, churning the code without buying us anything (yet). * jk/merge-tree-merge-blobs (2016-02-16) 1 commit . merge_blobs: use strbuf instead of manually-sized mmfile_t "git merge-tree" (a throw-away demonstration) did not work very well when merging "both sides added a new file at the same path" case.
