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.
The second (rather large) batch of topics have been merged to
'master'. Please test and catch possible regressions early.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

[Graduated to "master"]
* ah/grammos (2016-12-05) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at 13ad487b28)
+ clone,fetch: explain the shallow-clone option a little more clearly
+ receive-pack: improve English grammar of denyCurrentBranch message
+ bisect: improve English grammar of not-ancestors message
A few messages have been fixed for their grammatical errors.
* ak/commit-only-allow-empty (2016-12-09) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at 54188ab23c)
+ commit: remove 'Clever' message for --only --amend
+ commit: make --only --allow-empty work without paths
"git commit --allow-empty --only" (no pathspec) with dirty index
ought to be an acceptable way to create a new commit that does not
change any paths, but it was forbidden, perhaps because nobody
needed it so far.
* bb/unicode-9.0 (2016-12-14) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-16 at be2531431a)
+ unicode_width.h: update the width tables to Unicode 9.0
+ update_unicode.sh: remove the plane filter
+ update_unicode.sh: automatically download newer definition files
+ update_unicode.sh: pin the uniset repo to a known good commit
+ update_unicode.sh: remove an unnecessary subshell level
+ update_unicode.sh: move it into contrib/update-unicode
The character width table has been updated to match Unicode 9.0
* da/difftool-dir-diff-fix (2016-12-08) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at fd31a92ad6)
+ difftool: fix dir-diff index creation when in a subdirectory
"git difftool --dir-diff" had a minor regression when started from
a subdirectory, which has been fixed.
* da/mergetool-xxdiff-hotkey (2016-12-11) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-13 at a08f375c81)
+ mergetools: fix xxdiff hotkeys
The way to specify hotkeys to "xxdiff" that is used by "git
mergetool" has been modernized to match recent versions of xxdiff.
* jb/diff-no-index-no-abbrev (2016-12-08) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at 959981ef50)
+ diff: handle --no-abbrev in no-index case
"git diff --no-index" did not take "--no-abbrev" option.
* jc/lock-report-on-error (2016-12-07) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-13 at cb6c07ee92)
+ lockfile: LOCK_REPORT_ON_ERROR
+ hold_locked_index(): align error handling with hold_lockfile_for_update()
+ wt-status: implement opportunisitc index update correctly
Git 2.11 had a minor regression in "merge --ff-only" that competed
with another process that simultanously attempted to update the
index. We used to explain what went wrong with an error message,
but the new code silently failed. The error message has been
resurrected.
* jc/pull-rebase-ff (2016-11-29) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-16 at c1a0cedd9e)
+ pull: fast-forward "pull --rebase=true"
"git pull --rebase", when there is no new commits on our side since
we forked from the upstream, should be able to fast-forward without
invoking "git rebase", but it didn't.
* jc/renormalize-merge-kill-safer-crlf (2016-12-01) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at 041b834f81)
+ convert: git cherry-pick -Xrenormalize did not work
+ Merge branch 'tb/t0027-raciness-fix' into jc/renormalize-merge-kill-safer-crlf
+ merge-recursive: handle NULL in add_cacheinfo() correctly
+ cherry-pick: demonstrate a segmentation fault
Fix a corner case in merge-recursive regression that crept in
during 2.10 development cycle.
* jk/http-walker-limit-redirect (2016-12-06) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at 8b58025e3a)
+ http-walker: complain about non-404 loose object errors
+ Merge branch 'ew/http-walker' into jk/http-walker-limit-redirect
(this branch is used by bw/transport-protocol-policy; uses jk/http-walker-limit-redirect-2.9.)
Update the error messages from the dumb-http client when it fails
to obtain loose objects; we used to give sensible error message
only upon 404 but we now forbid unexpected redirects that needs to
be reported with something sensible.
* jk/http-walker-limit-redirect-2.9 (2016-12-06) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at 3e4bcd7bca)
+ http: treat http-alternates like redirects
+ http: make redirects more obvious
+ remote-curl: rename shadowed options variable
+ http: always update the base URL for redirects
+ http: simplify update_url_from_redirect
(this branch is used by bw/transport-protocol-policy and jk/http-walker-limit-redirect.)
Transport with dumb http can be fooled into following foreign URLs
that the end user does not intend to, especially with the server
side redirects and http-alternates mechanism, which can lead to
security issues. Tighten the redirection and make it more obvious
to the end user when it happens.
* jk/make-tags-find-sources-tweak (2016-12-14) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-16 at 06d0b0fbfd)
+ Makefile: exclude contrib from FIND_SOURCE_FILES
+ Makefile: match shell scripts in FIND_SOURCE_FILES
+ Makefile: exclude test cruft from FIND_SOURCE_FILES
+ Makefile: reformat FIND_SOURCE_FILES
Update the procedure to generate "tags" for developer support.
* jk/readme-gmane-is-no-more (2016-12-15) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-16 at 44ad5c5205)
+ README: replace gmane link with public-inbox
* jk/stash-disable-renames-internally (2016-12-06) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at e2b97aae68)
+ stash: prefer plumbing over git-diff
When diff.renames configuration is on (and with Git 2.9 and later,
it is enabled by default, which made it worse), "git stash"
misbehaved if a file is removed and another file with a very
similar content is added.
* jk/trailers-placeholder-in-pretty (2016-12-11) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at 57de4e699a)
+ ref-filter: add support to display trailers as part of contents
+ pretty: add %(trailers) format for displaying trailers of a commit message
(this branch uses jt/use-trailer-api-in-commands.)
In addition to %(subject), %(body), "log --pretty=format:..."
learned a new placeholder %(trailers).
* jk/xdiff-drop-xdl-fast-hash (2016-12-06) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-13 at 914e306217)
+ xdiff: drop XDL_FAST_HASH
Retire the "fast hash" that had disastrous performance issues in
some corner cases.
* js/normalize-path-copy-ceil (2016-12-16) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-16 at 634ba4debc)
+ normalize_path_copy(): fix pushing to //server/share/dir on Windows
A pathname that begins with "//" or "\\" on Windows is special but
path normalization logic was unaware of it.
* jt/use-trailer-api-in-commands (2016-11-29) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at da1f140ad4)
+ sequencer: use trailer's trailer layout
+ trailer: have function to describe trailer layout
+ trailer: avoid unnecessary splitting on lines
+ commit: make ignore_non_trailer take buf/len
+ trailer: be stricter in parsing separators
(this branch is used by jk/trailers-placeholder-in-pretty.)
Commands that operate on a log message and add lines to the trailer
blocks, such as "format-patch -s", "cherry-pick (-x|-s)", and
"commit -s", have been taught to use the logic of and share the
code with "git interpret-trailer".
* kh/tutorial-grammofix (2016-12-09) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-13 at a951db78bc)
+ doc: omit needless "for"
+ doc: make the intent of sentence clearer
+ doc: add verb in front of command to run
+ doc: add articles (grammar)
* ld/p4-worktree (2016-12-13) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-16 at 5210ab9973)
+ git-p4: support git worktrees
"git p4" didn't interact with the internal of .git directory
correctly in the modern "git-worktree"-enabled world.
* lr/doc-fix-cet (2016-12-12) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-13 at dbc9e07e57)
+ date-formats.txt: Typo fix
* ls/t0021-fixup (2016-12-05) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at db652e691a)
+ t0021: minor filter process test cleanup
* ls/travis-update-p4-and-lfs (2016-12-05) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at 5496caa048)
+ travis-ci: update P4 to 16.2 and GitLFS to 1.5.2 in Linux build
The default Travis-CI configuration specifies newer P4 and GitLFS.
* nd/for-each-ref-ignore-case (2016-12-05) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at 527cc4f275)
+ tag, branch, for-each-ref: add --ignore-case for sorting and filtering
"git branch --list" and friends learned "--ignore-case" option to
optionally sort branches and tags case insensitively.
* nd/rebase-forget (2016-12-11) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at 50b5d28af4)
+ rebase: add --quit to cleanup rebase, leave everything else untouched
"git rebase" learned "--quit" option, which allows a user to
remove the metadata left by an earlier "git rebase" that was
manually aborted without using "git rebase --abort".
* rj/git-version-gen-do-not-force-abbrev (2016-12-06) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at e37970c3f5)
+ GIT-VERSION-GEN: do not force abbreviation length used by 'describe'
A minor build update.
* sb/t3600-cleanup (2016-12-12) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-13 at e06e6e702f)
+ t3600: slightly modernize style
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at d9996af5e8)
+ t3600: remove useless redirect
Code cleanup.
* sb/unpack-trees-grammofix (2016-12-05) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at 29e536f590)
+ unpack-trees: fix grammar for untracked files in directories

[New Topics]
* gv/p4-multi-path-commit-fix (2016-12-19) 1 commit
- git-p4: fix multi-path changelist empty commits
"git p4" that tracks multile p4 paths imported a single changelist
that touches files in these multiple paths as one commit, followed
by many empty commits. This has been fixed.
Will merge to 'next'.
* js/mingw-isatty (2016-12-18) 1 commit
- winansi_isatty(): fix when Git is used from CMD
Update the isatty() emulation for Windows to make it interact
better with the cmd.exe console.
Waiting for an ack.
* jt/mailinfo-fold-in-body-headers (2016-12-19) 1 commit
- mailinfo.c: move side-effects outside of assert
Fix for NDEBUG builds.
Will merge to 'next'.
* ls/p4-lfs (2016-12-18) 1 commit
- git-p4: add diff/merge properties to .gitattributes for GitLFS files
Update GitLFS integration with "git p4".
Waiting for an ack.
* ls/p4-path-encoding (2016-12-18) 1 commit
- git-p4: fix git-p4.pathEncoding for removed files
When "git p4" imports changelist that removes paths, it failed to
convert pathnames when the p4 used encoding different from the one
used on the Git side. This has been corrected.
Waiting for an ack.
* mh/fast-import-notes-fix-new (2016-12-19) 1 commit
- fast-import: properly fanout notes when tree is imported
"git fast-import" sometimes mishandled while rebalancing notes
tree, which has been fixed.
Will merge to 'next'.

* jc/retire-compaction-heuristics (2016-11-02) 3 commits
- SQUASH???
- SQUASH???
- diff: retire the original experimental "compaction" heuristics
Waiting for a reroll.
* jc/abbrev-autoscale-config (2016-11-01) 1 commit
- config.abbrev: document the new default that auto-scales
Waiting for a reroll.
* jk/nofollow-attr-ignore (2016-11-02) 5 commits
- exclude: do not respect symlinks for in-tree .gitignore
- attr: do not respect symlinks for in-tree .gitattributes
- exclude: convert "check_index" into a flags field
- attr: convert "macro_ok" into a flags field
- add open_nofollow() helper
As we do not follow symbolic links when reading control files like
.gitignore and .gitattributes from the index, match the behaviour
and not follow symbolic links when reading them from the working
tree. This also tightens security a bit by not leaking contents of
an unrelated file in the error messages when it is pointed at by
one of these files that is a symbolic link.
Perhaps we want to cover .gitmodules too with the same mechanism?
* nd/worktree-move (2016-11-28) 11 commits
. worktree remove: new command
. worktree move: refuse to move worktrees with submodules
. worktree move: accept destination as directory
. worktree move: new command
. worktree.c: add update_worktree_location()
. worktree.c: add validate_worktree()

. copy.c: delete unused code in copy_file()
. copy.c: import copy_file() from busybox
"git worktree" learned move and remove subcommands.
Reported to break builds on Windows.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
Has been waiting for a review for too long without seeing anything.
Will discard.

. 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.

Code clean-up in the pathspec API.
Waiting for the (hopefully) final round of review before 'next'.
* cp/merge-continue (2016-12-15) 4 commits

+ index-pack: skip collision check when not in repository
+ t: use nongit() function where applicable
+ index-pack: complain when --stdin is used outside of a repo
+ t5000: extract nongit function to test-lib-functions.sh
"git index-pack --stdin" needs an access to an existing repository,
but "git index-pack file.pack" to generate an .idx file that
corresponds to a packfile does not.

(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-19 at 555976fc0a)

* bw/realpath-wo-chdir (2016-12-12) 4 commits
- real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and strbuf_realpath
- real_path: create real_pathdup
- real_path: convert real_path_internal to strbuf_realpath
- real_path: resolve symlinks by hand
(this branch is used by bw/grep-recurse-submodules.)
The implementation of "real_path()" was to go there with chdir(2)
and call getcwd(3), but this obviously wouldn't be usable in a
threaded environment. Rewrite it to manually resolve relative
paths including symbolic links in path components.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jk/quote-env-path-list-component (2016-12-13) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-16 at d2cd6008b9)
+ t5547-push-quarantine: run the path separator test on Windows, too
+ tmp-objdir: quote paths we add to alternates
+ alternates: accept double-quoted paths
+ Merge branch 'jk/alt-odb-cleanup' into jk/quote-env-path-list-component
A recent update to receive-pack to make it easier to drop garbage
objects made it clear that GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES cannot
have a pathname with a colon in it (no surprise!), and this in turn
made it impossible to push into a repository at such a path. This
has been fixed by introducing a quoting mechanism used when
appending such a path to the colon-separated list.

(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-13 at 6107e43d65)
+ sequencer: remove useless get_dir() function
+ sequencer: make sequencer abort safer
+ t3510: test that cherry-pick --abort does not unsafely change HEAD
+ am: change safe_to_abort()'s not rewinding error into a warning
+ am: fix filename in safe_to_abort() error message
Unlike "git am --abort", "git cherry-pick --abort" moved HEAD back
to where cherry-pick started while picking multiple changes, when
the cherry-pick stopped to ask for help from the user, and the user
did "git reset --hard" to a different commit in order to re-attempt
the operation.

Even though an fix was attempted in Git 2.9.3 days, but running

(merged to 'next' on 2016-12-13 at 8a317ab745)
+ submodule--helper: set alternateLocation for cloned submodules
"git clone --reference $there --recurse-submodules $super" has been
taught to guess repositories usable as references for submodules of
$super that are embedded in $there while making a clone of the
superproject borrow objects from $there; extend the mechanism to
also allow submodules of these submodules to borrow repositories
embedded in these clones of the submodules embedded in the clone of
the superproject.

will never come. Teach the client side to notice this condition
and abort the transfer.

looking at the combined diff. "git reset" learned a new

* tb/convert-stream-check (2016-10-27) 2 commits
- convert.c: stream and fast search for binary
- read-cache: factor out get_sha1_from_index() helper
End-of-line conversion sometimes needs to see if the current blob
in the index has NULs and CRs to base its decision. We used to
always get a full statistics over the blob, but in many cases we
can return early when we have seen "enough" (e.g. if we see a
single NUL, the blob will be handled as binary). The codepaths
have been optimized by using streaming interface.
Will discard.

to select only paths with given attributes set.
The parts near the tip about pathspec would need to work better
with bw/pathspec-cleanup topic and has been dropped for now.
