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.
There are a few more topics in flight that may be ready to be picked
up but I haven't, and other topics in flight that may not be quite
ready. I'll start merging topics that have been cooking in 'next'
to 'master', rewind and rebuild 'next', and merge those that have
been waiting in 'pu' to 'next' before picking them up.
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

- builtin/reset: convert to use struct object_id
- builtin/commit-tree: convert to struct object_id
- builtin/am: convert to struct object_id
- refs: add an update_ref_oid function.
- sha1_name: convert get_sha1_mb to struct object_id
- builtin/update-index: convert file to struct object_id
- notes: convert init_notes to use struct object_id
- builtin/rm: convert to use struct object_id
- builtin/blame: convert file to use struct object_id
- Convert read_mmblob to take struct object_id.
- notes-merge: convert struct notes_merge_pair to struct object_id
- builtin/checkout: convert some static functions to struct object_id
- streaming: make stream_blob_to_fd take struct object_id
- builtin: convert textconv_object to use struct object_id
- builtin/cat-file: convert some static functions to struct object_id
- builtin/cat-file: convert struct expand_data to use struct object_id
- builtin/log: convert some static functions to use struct object_id
- builtin/blame: convert struct origin to use struct object_id
- builtin/apply: convert static functions to struct object_id
- cache: convert struct cache_entry to use struct object_id
The "unsigned char sha1[20]" to "struct object_id" conversion
continues. Notable changes in this round includes that ce->sha1,
i.e. the object name recorded in the cache_entry, turns into an
object_id.
It had merge conflicts with a few topics in flight (Christian's
"apply.c split", Dscho's "cat-file --filters" and Jeff Hostetler's
"status --porcelain-v2"). Extra sets of eyes double-checking for
mismerges are highly appreciated.
* ep/use-git-trace-curl-in-tests (2016-09-07) 4 commits
- t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh: use the GIT_TRACE_CURL environment var
- t5550-http-fetch-dumb.sh: use the GIT_TRACE_CURL environment var
- test-lib.sh: preserve GIT_TRACE_CURL from the environment
- t5541-http-push-smart.sh: use the GIT_TRACE_CURL environment var
Update a few tests that used to use GIT_CURL_VERBOSE to use the
newer GIT_TRACE_CURL.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jk/pack-tag-of-tag (2016-09-07) 5 commits
- pack-objects: walk tag chains for --include-tag
- t5305: simplify packname handling
- t5305: use "git -C"
- t5305: drop "dry-run" of unpack-objects
- t5305: move cleanup into test block
"git pack-objects --include-tag" was taught that when we know that
we are sending an object C, we want a tag B that directly points at
C but also a tag A that points at the tag B. We used to miss the
intermediate tag B in some cases.
* js/t6026-clean-up (2016-09-07) 1 commit
- t6026-merge-attr: clean up background process at end of test case
A test spawned a short-lived background process, which sometimes
prevented the test directory from getting removed at the end of the
script on some platforms.
Will merge to 'next'.
* js/t9903-chaining (2016-09-07) 1 commit
- t9903: fix broken && chain
Will merge to 'next'.
* jt/accept-capability-advertisement-when-fetching-from-void (2016-09-07) 2 commits
- connect: advertized capability is not a ref
- tests: move test_lazy_prereq JGIT to test-lib.sh
JGit can show a fake ref "capabilities^{}" to "git fetch" when it
does not advertise any refs, but "git fetch" was not prepared to
see such an advertisement.
Waiting for a reroll.
Rewording the log, and avoiding making it overly loose are needed.

* rs/compat-strdup (2016-09-07) 1 commit
- compat: move strdup(3) replacement to its own file
Will merge to 'next'.
* rs/hex2chr (2016-09-07) 1 commit
- introduce hex2chr() for converting two hexadecimal digits to a character
Will merge to 'next'.
* rt/rebase-i-broken-insn-advise (2016-09-07) 1 commit
- rebase -i: improve advice on bad instruction lines
When "git rebase -i" is given a broken instruction, it told the
user to fix it with "--edit-todo", but didn't say what the step
after that was (i.e. "--continue").
Will hold.
Dscho's "rebase -i" hopefully will become available in 'pu', by
which time an equivalent of this fix would be ported to C. This is
queued merely as a reminder.
* sb/xdiff-remove-unused-static-decl (2016-09-07) 1 commit
- xdiff: remove unneeded declarations
Code cleanup.
Will merge to 'next'.
* sy/git-gui-i18n-ja (2016-09-07) 7 commits
- Merge branch 'sy/i18n' of git-gui
- git-gui: update Japanese information
- git-gui: update Japanese translation
- git-gui: add Japanese language code
- git-gui: apply po template to Japanese translation
- git-gui: consistently use the same word for "blame" in Japanese
- git-gui: consistently use the same word for "remote" in Japanese
Update Japanese translation for "git-gui".
* ah/misc-message-fixes (2016-09-08) 5 commits
- unpack-trees: do not capitalize "working"
- git-merge-octopus: do not capitalize "octopus"
- git-rebase--interactive: fix English grammar
- cat-file: put spaces around pipes in usage string
- am: put spaces around pipe in usage string
Message cleanup.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jk/fix-remote-curl-url-wo-proto (2016-09-08) 1 commit
- remote-curl: handle URLs without protocol
"git fetch http::/site/path" did not die correctly and segfaulted
instead.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jn/fix-connect-unexpected-hangup-diag (2016-09-08) 1 commit
- connect: tighten check for unexpected early hang up
When the other side disconnects without giving any ref
advertisement, we used to say "there may not be a repository at
that URL", but we may have seen other advertisement like "shallow"
and ".have" in which case we definitely know that a repository is
there. The code to detect this case has been updated.
Waiting for a reroll with test.

* jt/format-patch-base-info-above-sig (2016-09-08) 1 commit
- format-patch: show base info before email signature
"git format-patch --base=..." feature that was recently added
showed the base commit information after "-- " e-mail signature
line, which turned out to be inconvenient. The base information
has been moved above the signature line.
Needs rephrasing of the log message to describe an accidental bugfix.
cf. <xmqqd1kef5k5.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
* nd/checkout-disambiguation (2016-09-08) 3 commits
- checkout: fix ambiguity check in subdir
- checkout.txt: document a common case that ignores ambiguation rules
- checkout: add some spaces between code and comment
"git checkout <word>" does not follow the usual disambiguation
rules when the <word> can be both a rev and a path, to allow
checking out a branch 'foo' in a project that happens to have a
file 'foo' in the working tree without having to disambiguate.
This was poorly documented and the check was incorrect when the
command was run from a subdirectory.
Waiting for a reroll.
cf. <xmqq7famgnwo.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
* sb/diff-cleanup (2016-09-08) 3 commits
- diff: remove dead code
- diff: omit found pointer from emit_callback
- diff.c: use diff_options directly
Code cleanup.
Will merge to 'next'.
* sb/transport-report-missing-submodule-on-stderr (2016-09-08) 1 commit
- transport: report missing submodule pushes consistently on stderr
Message cleanup.
Will merge to 'next'.
* sg/fix-versioncmp-with-common-suffix (2016-09-08) 5 commits
- versioncmp: cope with common leading parts in versionsort.prereleaseSuffix
- versioncmp: pass full tagnames to swap_prereleases()
- t7004-tag: add version sort tests to show prerelease reordering issues
- t7004-tag: use test_config helper
- t7004-tag: delete unnecessary tags with test_when_finished
The prereleaseSuffix feature of version comparison that is used in
"git tag -l" did not correctly when two or more prereleases for the
same release were present (e.g. when 2.0, 2.0-beta1, and 2.0-beta2
are there and the code needs to compare 2.0-beta1 and 2.0-beta2).
Waiting for a reroll.

[Stalled]
* jc/bundle (2016-03-03) 6 commits
- index-pack: --clone-bundle option
- Merge branch 'jc/index-pack' into jc/bundle
- bundle v3: the beginning
- bundle: keep a copy of bundle file name in the in-core bundle header
- bundle: plug resource leak
- bundle doc: 'verify' is not about verifying the bundle
The beginning of "split bundle", which could be one of the
ingredients to allow "git clone" traffic off of the core server
network to CDN.
While I think it would make it easier for people to experiment and
build on if the topic is merged to 'next', I am at the same time a
bit reluctant to merge an unproven new topic that introduces a new
file format, which we may end up having to support til the end of
time. It is likely that to support a "prime clone from CDN", it
would need a lot more than just "these are the heads and the pack
data is over there", so this may not be sufficient.
Will discard.
* jc/blame-reverse (2016-06-14) 2 commits
- blame: dwim "blame --reverse OLD" as "blame --reverse OLD.."
- blame: improve diagnosis for "--reverse NEW"
It is a common mistake to say "git blame --reverse OLD path",
expecting that the command line is dwimmed as if asking how lines
in path in an old revision OLD have survived up to the current
commit.
Has been waiting for positive responses without seeing any.
Will discard.
* jc/attr (2016-05-25) 18 commits
- attr: support quoting pathname patterns in C style
- attr: expose validity check for attribute names
- attr: add counted string version of git_attr()
- attr: add counted string version of git_check_attr()
- attr: retire git_check_attrs() API
- attr: convert git_check_attrs() callers to use the new API
- attr: convert git_all_attrs() to use "struct git_attr_check"
- attr: (re)introduce git_check_attr() and struct git_attr_check
- attr: rename function and struct related to checking attributes
- attr.c: plug small leak in parse_attr_line()
- attr.c: tighten constness around "git_attr" structure
- attr.c: simplify macroexpand_one()
- attr.c: mark where #if DEBUG ends more clearly
- attr.c: complete a sentence in a comment
- attr.c: explain the lack of attr-name syntax check in parse_attr()
- attr.c: update a stale comment on "struct match_attr"
- attr.c: use strchrnul() to scan for one line
- commit.c: use strchrnul() to scan for one line
(this branch is used by jc/attr-more, sb/pathspec-label and sb/submodule-default-paths.)
The attributes API has been updated so that it can later be
optimized using the knowledge of which attributes are queried.
I wanted to polish this topic further to make the attribute
subsystem thread-ready, but because other topics depend on this
topic and they do not (yet) need it to be thread-ready.
As the authors of topics that depend on this seem not in a hurry,
let's discard this and dependent topics and restart them some other
day.
Will discard.
* jc/attr-more (2016-06-09) 8 commits
- attr.c: outline the future plans by heavily commenting
- attr.c: always pass check[] to collect_some_attrs()
- attr.c: introduce empty_attr_check_elems()
- attr.c: correct ugly hack for git_all_attrs()
- attr.c: rename a local variable check
- fixup! d5ad6c13
- attr.c: pass struct git_attr_check down the callchain
- attr.c: add push_stack() helper
(this branch uses jc/attr; is tangled with sb/pathspec-label and sb/submodule-default-paths.)
The beginning of long and tortuous journey to clean-up attribute
subsystem implementation.
Needs to be redone.
Will discard.
* sb/submodule-default-paths (2016-06-20) 5 commits
- completion: clone can recurse into submodules
- clone: add --init-submodule=<pathspec> switch
- submodule update: add `--init-default-path` switch
- Merge branch 'sb/pathspec-label' into sb/submodule-default-paths
- Merge branch 'jc/attr' into sb/submodule-default-paths
(this branch uses jc/attr and sb/pathspec-label; is tangled with jc/attr-more.)
Allow specifying the set of submodules the user is interested in on
the command line of "git clone" that clones the superproject.
Will discard.
* sb/pathspec-label (2016-06-03) 6 commits
- pathspec: disable preload-index when attribute pathspec magic is in use
- pathspec: allow escaped query values
- pathspec: allow querying for attributes
- pathspec: move prefix check out of the inner loop
- pathspec: move long magic parsing out of prefix_pathspec
- Documentation: fix a typo
(this branch is used by sb/submodule-default-paths; uses jc/attr; is tangled with jc/attr-more.)
The pathspec mechanism learned ":(attr:X)$pattern" pathspec magic
to limit paths that match $pattern further by attribute settings.
The preload-index mechanism is disabled when the new pathspec magic
is in use (at least for now), because the attribute subsystem is
not thread-ready.
Will discard.
* mh/connect (2016-06-06) 10 commits
- connect: [host:port] is legacy for ssh
- connect: move ssh command line preparation to a separate function
- connect: actively reject git:// urls with a user part
- connect: change the --diag-url output to separate user and host
- connect: make parse_connect_url() return the user part of the url as a separate value
- connect: group CONNECT_DIAG_URL handling code
- connect: make parse_connect_url() return separated host and port
- connect: re-derive a host:port string from the separate host and port variables
- connect: call get_host_and_port() earlier
- connect: document why we sometimes call get_port after get_host_and_port
Rewrite Git-URL parsing routine (hopefully) without changing any
behaviour.
It has been two months without any support. We may want to discard
this.
* sb/bisect (2016-04-15) 22 commits

The internal algorithm used in "git bisect" to find the next commit
to check has been optimized greatly.
Was expecting a reroll, but now pb/bisect topic starts removinging
more and more parts from git-bisect.sh, this needs to see a fresh
reroll.
Will discard.

. 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.

* jc/submodule-anchor-git-dir (2016-09-01) 1 commit
- submodule: avoid auto-discovery in prepare_submodule_repo_env()
Having a submodule whose ".git" repository is somehow corrupt
caused a few commands that recurse into submodules loop forever.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jc/forbid-symbolic-ref-d-HEAD (2016-09-02) 1 commit
- symbolic-ref -d: do not allow removal of HEAD
"git symbolic-ref -d HEAD" happily removes the symbolic ref, but
the resulting repository becomes an invalid one. Teach the command

* jk/test-lib-drop-pid-from-results (2016-08-30) 1 commit
- test-lib: drop PID from test-results/*.count
The test framework left the number of tests and success/failure
count in the t/test-results directory, keyed by the name of the
test script plus the process ID. The latter however turned out not
to serve any useful purpose. The process ID part of the filename
has been removed.

- cat-file: support --textconv/--filters in batch mode
- cat-file --textconv/--filters: allow specifying the path separately
- cat-file: introduce the --filters option
- cat-file: fix a grammo in the man page
Even though "git hash-objects", which is a tool to take an
on-filesystem data stream and put it into the Git object store,
allowed to perform the "outside-world-to-Git" conversions (e.g.
end-of-line conversions and application of the clean-filter), and
it had the feature on by default from very early days, its reverse
operation "git cat-file", which takes an object from the Git object
store and externalize for the consumption by the outside world,
lacked an equivalent mechanism to run the "Git-to-outside-world"
conversion. The command learned the "--filters" option to do so.

+ gc: default aggressive depth to 50
"git gc --aggressive" used to limit the delta-chain length to 250,
which is way too deep for gaining additional space savings and is
detrimental for runtime performance. The limit has been reduced to
50.

"git clone --resurse-submodules --reference $path $URL" is a way to
reduce network transfer cost by borrowing objects in an existing
$path repository when cloning the superproject from $URL; it
learned to also peek into $path for presense of corresponding
repositories of submodules and borrow objects from there when able.

* mh/diff-indent-heuristic (2016-09-07) 9 commits
- SQAUSH???
- blame: honor the diff heuristic options and config
- parse-options: add parse_opt_unknown_cb()
- diff: improve positioning of add/delete blocks in diffs
- xdl_change_compact(): introduce the concept of a change group
- recs_match(): take two xrecord_t pointers as arguments
- is_blank_line(): take a single xrecord_t as argument
- xdl_change_compact(): only use heuristic if group can't be matched
- xdl_change_compact(): fix compaction heuristic to adjust ixo
Output from "git diff" can be made easier to read by selecting
which lines are common and which lines are added/deleted
intelligently when the lines before and after the changed section
are the same. A command line option is added to help with the
experiment to find a good heuristics.
Rerolled.
Needs adjustment of test numbers. Otherwise looked OK.

+ rebase-interactive: drop early check for valid ident
Even when "git pull --rebase=preserve" (and the underlying "git
rebase --preserve") can complete without creating any new commit
(i.e. fast-forwards), it still insisted on having a usable ident
information (read: user.email is set correctly), which was less
than nice. As the underlying commands used inside "git rebase"
would fail with a more meaningful error message and advice text
when the bogus ident matters, this extra check was removed.
Will hold to see if people scream.

- pull: fast-forward "pull --rebase=true"

invoking "git rebase", but it didn't.
Needs a real log message and a few tests.
* ex/deprecate-empty-pathspec-as-match-all (2016-06-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-07-13 at d9ca7fb)
+ pathspec: warn on empty strings as pathspec
An empty string used as a pathspec element has always meant
'everything matches', but it is too easy to write a script that
finds a path to remove in $path and run 'git rm "$paht"', which
ends up removing everything. Start warning about this use of an
empty string used for 'everything matches' and ask users to use a
more explicit '.' for that instead.
The hope is that existing users will not mind this change, and
eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error, upgrading
the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature.
Will hold to see if people scream.

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.
Rerolled. What this topic attempts to achieve is worthwhile, I
would think.

Stop supporting "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>" syntax that has

warning message since v2.5.0.
It has been reported that git-gui still uses the deprecated syntax,
which needs to be fixed before this final step can proceed.
