There still are topics that haven't been looked at, but here is a snapshot of my tonight's status. The tip of 'pu' is known to be broken, so those who want to vet and veto topics that are outside but close to 'next' may want to try the tip of 'jch' instead (find it in "git log --first-parent master..pu"). 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 -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * ls/p4-retry-thrice (2016-12-29) 1 commit - git-p4: do not pass '-r 0' to p4 commands A recent updates to "git p4" was not usable for older p4 but it could be made to work with minimum changes. Do so. Will merge to 'next'. * mh/ref-remove-empty-directory (2017-01-07) 23 commits - files_transaction_commit(): clean up empty directories - try_remove_empty_parents(): teach to remove parents of reflogs, too - try_remove_empty_parents(): don't trash argument contents - try_remove_empty_parents(): rename parameter "name" -> "refname" - delete_ref_loose(): inline function - delete_ref_loose(): derive loose reference path from lock - log_ref_write_1(): inline function - log_ref_setup(): manage the name of the reflog file internally - log_ref_write_1(): don't depend on logfile argument - log_ref_setup(): pass the open file descriptor back to the caller - log_ref_setup(): improve robustness against races - log_ref_setup(): separate code for create vs non-create - log_ref_write(): inline function - rename_tmp_log(): improve error reporting - rename_tmp_log(): use raceproof_create_file() - lock_ref_sha1_basic(): use raceproof_create_file() - lock_ref_sha1_basic(): inline constant - raceproof_create_file(): new function - safe_create_leading_directories(): set errno on SCLD_EXISTS - safe_create_leading_directories_const(): preserve errno - t5505: use "for-each-ref" to test for the non-existence of references - refname_is_safe(): correct docstring - files_rename_ref(): tidy up whitespace Deletion of a branch "foo/bar" could remove .git/refs/heads/foo once there no longer is any other branch whose name begins with "foo/", but we didn't do so so far. Now we do. Expecting a reroll. cf. <5051c78e-51f9-becd-e1a6-9c0b781d6912@xxxxxxxxxxxx> * pb/test-must-fail-is-for-git (2017-01-07) 2 commits - t9813: avoid using pipes - don't use test_must_fail with grep Test cleanup. Will merge to 'next'. * rs/unpack-trees-reduce-file-scope-global (2016-12-31) 1 commit - unpack-trees: move checkout state into check_updates Code cleanup. Will merge to 'next'. * jk/archive-zip-userdiff-config (2017-01-07) 1 commit - archive-zip: load userdiff config * jk/blame-fixes (2017-01-07) 3 commits - blame: output porcelain "previous" header for each file - blame: handle --no-abbrev - blame: fix alignment with --abbrev=40 * jk/rebase-i-squash-count-fix (2017-01-07) 1 commit - rebase--interactive: count squash commits above 10 correctly * js/asciidoctor-tweaks (2017-01-07) 1 commit - giteveryday: unbreak rendering with AsciiDoctor * km/branch-get-push-while-detached (2017-01-07) 1 commit - branch_get_push: do not segfault when HEAD is detached * sb/remove-gitview (2017-01-07) 1 commit - contrib: remove gitview * sb/submodule-cleanup-export-git-dir-env (2017-01-07) 1 commit - submodule.c: use GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT consistently * sb/pathspec-errors (2017-01-08) 6 commits - pathspec: give better message for submodule related pathspec error - submodule tests: don't use itself as a submodule - Merge "test_commit -C" from sb/submodule-embed-gitdir topic + test-lib-functions.sh: teach test_commit -C <dir> + submodule helper: support super prefix + submodule: use absolute path for computing relative path connecting (this branch uses bw/pathspec-cleanup; is tangled with sb/submodule-embed-gitdir and sb/submodule-rm-absorb.) -------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * 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: convert copy_file() to copy_dir_recursively() . copy.c: style fix . copy.c: convert bb_(p)error_msg to error(_errno) . 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. * 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. Has been waiting for a reroll for too long. cf. <xmqq60ypbeng.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 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] * dt/disable-bitmap-in-auto-gc (2016-12-29) 2 commits - repack: die on incremental + write-bitmap-index - auto gc: don't write bitmaps for incremental repacks It is natural that "git gc --auto" may not attempt to pack everything into a single pack, and there is no point in warning when the user has configured the system to use the pack bitmap, leading to disabling further "gc". Will merge to 'next'. * js/mingw-test-push-unc-path (2017-01-07) 1 commit - mingw: add a regression test for pushing to UNC paths "git push \\server\share\dir" has recently regressed and then fixed. A test has retroactively been added for this breakage. Will merge to 'next'. * nd/log-graph-configurable-colors (2017-01-08) 1 commit - log --graph: customize the graph lines with config log.graphColors Some people feel the default set of colors used by "git log --graph" rather limiting. A mechanism to customize the set of colors has been introduced. Waiting for review to conclude. cf. <20170108101333.26221-1-pclouds@xxxxxxxxx> * sb/submodule-rm-absorb (2016-12-27) 4 commits - rm: absorb a submodules git dir before deletion - submodule: rename and add flags to ok_to_remove_submodule - submodule: modernize ok_to_remove_submodule to use argv_array - submodule.h: add extern keyword to functions (this branch uses sb/submodule-embed-gitdir; is tangled with sb/pathspec-errors.) "git rm" used to refuse to remove a submodule when it has its own git repository embedded in its working tree. It learned to move the repository away to $GIT_DIR/modules/ of the superproject instead, and allow the submodule to be deleted (as long as there will be no loss of local modifications, that is). * cc/split-index-config (2016-12-26) 21 commits - Documentation/git-update-index: explain splitIndex.* - Documentation/config: add splitIndex.sharedIndexExpire - read-cache: use freshen_shared_index() in read_index_from() - read-cache: refactor read_index_from() - t1700: test shared index file expiration - read-cache: unlink old sharedindex files - config: add git_config_get_expiry() from gc.c - read-cache: touch shared index files when used - sha1_file: make check_and_freshen_file() non static - Documentation/config: add splitIndex.maxPercentChange - t1700: add tests for splitIndex.maxPercentChange - read-cache: regenerate shared index if necessary - config: add git_config_get_max_percent_split_change() - Documentation/git-update-index: talk about core.splitIndex config var - Documentation/config: add information for core.splitIndex - t1700: add tests for core.splitIndex - update-index: warn in case of split-index incoherency - read-cache: add and then use tweak_split_index() - split-index: add {add,remove}_split_index() functions - config: add git_config_get_split_index() - config: mark an error message up for translation The experimental "split index" feature has gained a few configuration variables to make it easier to use. Waiting for review to conclude. cf. <20161226102222.17150-1-chriscool@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> cf. <a1a44640-ff6c-2294-72ac-46322eff8505@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * jc/abbrev-autoscale-config (2016-12-22) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-27 at 631e4200e2) + config.abbrev: document the new default that auto-scales Recent update to the default abbreviation length that auto-scales lacked documentation update, which has been corrected. Will merge to 'master'. * jc/retire-compaction-heuristics (2016-12-23) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-27 at c69c2f50cf) + diff: retire "compaction" heuristics "git diff" and its family had two experimental heuristics to shift the contents of a hunk to make the patch easier to read. One of them turns out to be better than the other, so leave only the "--indent-heuristic" option and remove the other one. Will merge to 'master'. * bw/push-submodule-only (2016-12-20) 3 commits - push: add option to push only submodules - submodules: add RECURSE_SUBMODULES_ONLY value - transport: reformat flag #defines to be more readable "git submodule push" learned "--recurse-submodules=only option to push submodules out without pushing the top-level superproject. * nd/config-misc-fixes (2016-12-22) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-27 at 6be64a8671) + config.c: handle lock file in error case in git_config_rename_... + config.c: rename label unlock_and_out + config.c: handle error case for fstat() calls Leakage of lockfiles in the config subsystem has been fixed. Will merge to 'master'. * 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. Will be rerolled. cf. <7E1C7387-4F37-423F-803D-3B5690B49D40@xxxxxxxxx> * mh/fast-import-notes-fix-new (2016-12-20) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-27 at b63805e6f6) + 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 'master'. * bw/pathspec-cleanup (2017-01-08) 16 commits - pathspec: rename prefix_pathspec to init_pathspec_item - pathspec: small readability changes - pathspec: create strip submodule slash helpers - pathspec: create parse_element_magic helper - pathspec: create parse_long_magic function - pathspec: create parse_short_magic function - pathspec: factor global magic into its own function - pathspec: simpler logic to prefix original pathspec elements - pathspec: always show mnemonic and name in unsupported_magic - pathspec: remove unused variable from unsupported_magic - pathspec: copy and free owned memory - pathspec: remove the deprecated get_pathspec function - ls-tree: convert show_recursive to use the pathspec struct interface - dir: convert fill_directory to use the pathspec struct interface - dir: remove struct path_simplify - mv: remove use of deprecated 'get_pathspec()' (this branch is used by sb/pathspec-errors.) Code clean-up in the pathspec API. Will merge to 'next'. * js/prepare-sequencer-more (2016-12-14) 34 commits - sequencer (rebase -i): write out the final message - sequencer (rebase -i): write the progress into files - sequencer (rebase -i): show the progress - sequencer (rebase -i): suggest --edit-todo upon unknown command - sequencer (rebase -i): show only failed cherry-picks' output - sequencer (rebase -i): show only failed `git commit`'s output - run_command_opt(): optionally hide stderr when the command succeeds - sequencer (rebase -i): differentiate between comments and 'noop' - sequencer (rebase -i): implement the 'drop' command - sequencer (rebase -i): allow rescheduling commands - sequencer (rebase -i): respect strategy/strategy_opts settings - sequencer (rebase -i): respect the rebase.autostash setting - sequencer (rebase -i): run the post-rewrite hook, if needed - sequencer (rebase -i): record interrupted commits in rewritten, too - sequencer (rebase -i): copy commit notes at end - sequencer (rebase -i): set the reflog message consistently - sequencer (rebase -i): refactor setting the reflog message - sequencer (rebase -i): allow fast-forwarding for edit/reword - sequencer (rebase -i): implement the 'reword' command - sequencer (rebase -i): leave a patch upon error - sequencer (rebase -i): update refs after a successful rebase - sequencer (rebase -i): the todo can be empty when continuing - sequencer (rebase -i): skip some revert/cherry-pick specific code path - sequencer (rebase -i): remove CHERRY_PICK_HEAD when no longer needed - sequencer (rebase -i): allow continuing with staged changes - sequencer (rebase -i): write an author-script file - sequencer (rebase -i): implement the short commands - sequencer (rebase -i): add support for the 'fixup' and 'squash' commands - sequencer (rebase -i): write the 'done' file - sequencer (rebase -i): learn about the 'verbose' mode - sequencer (rebase -i): implement the 'exec' command - sequencer (rebase -i): implement the 'edit' command - sequencer (rebase -i): implement the 'noop' command - sequencer: support a new action: 'interactive rebase' The sequencer has further been extended in preparation to act as a back-end for "rebase -i". Waiting for review to conclude. * bw/realpath-wo-chdir (2016-12-22) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-22 at fea8fa870f) + real_path: canonicalize directory separators in root parts + 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. * js/difftool-builtin (2017-01-08) 4 commits - t7800: run both builtin and scripted difftool, for now - difftool: implement the functionality in the builtin - difftool: add a skeleton for the upcoming builtin - git_exec_path: avoid Coverity warning about unfree()d result Rewrite a scripted porcelain "git difftool" in C. What's the doneness of this topic? * sb/push-make-submodule-check-the-default (2016-11-29) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-12 at 1863e05af5) + push: change submodule default to check when submodules exist + submodule add: extend force flag to add existing repos Turn the default of "push.recurseSubmodules" to "check" when submodules seem to be in use. Will cook in 'next'. * sb/submodule-embed-gitdir (2016-12-27) 7 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-27 at 2b43c15479) + worktree: initialize return value for submodule_uses_worktrees (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-21 at e6cdbcf013) + submodule: add absorb-git-dir function + move connect_work_tree_and_git_dir to dir.h + worktree: check if a submodule uses worktrees + test-lib-functions.sh: teach test_commit -C <dir> + submodule helper: support super prefix + submodule: use absolute path for computing relative path connecting (this branch is used by sb/submodule-rm-absorb; is tangled with sb/pathspec-errors.) A new submodule helper "git submodule embedgitdirs" to make it easier to move embedded .git/ directory for submodules in a superproject to .git/modules/ (and point the latter with the former that is turned into a "gitdir:" file) has been added. Will merge to 'master'. * bw/grep-recurse-submodules (2016-12-22) 7 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-22 at 1ede815b8d) + grep: search history of moved submodules + grep: enable recurse-submodules to work on <tree> objects + grep: optionally recurse into submodules + grep: add submodules as a grep source type + submodules: load gitmodules file from commit sha1 + submodules: add helper to determine if a submodule is initialized + submodules: add helper to determine if a submodule is populated (this branch uses bw/realpath-wo-chdir.) "git grep" learns to optionally recurse into submodules. Will merge to 'master'. * dt/smart-http-detect-server-going-away (2016-11-18) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-05 at 3ea70d01af) + upload-pack: optionally allow fetching any sha1 + remote-curl: don't hang when a server dies before any output Originally merged to 'next' on 2016-11-21 When the http server gives an incomplete response to a smart-http rpc call, it could lead to client waiting for a full response that will never come. Teach the client side to notice this condition and abort the transfer. An improvement counterproposal has failed. cf. <20161114194049.mktpsvgdhex2f4zv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Will merge to 'master'. * mm/push-social-engineering-attack-doc (2016-11-14) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-05 at 9a2b5bd1a9) + doc: mention transfer data leaks in more places Originally merged to 'next' on 2016-11-16 Doc update on fetching and pushing. Will merge to 'master'. * jc/compression-config (2016-11-15) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-05 at 323769ca07) + compression: unify pack.compression configuration parsing Originally merged to 'next' on 2016-11-23 Compression setting for producing packfiles were spread across three codepaths, one of which did not honor any configuration. Unify these so that all of them honor core.compression and pack.compression variables the same way. Will merge to 'master'. * mm/gc-safety-doc (2016-11-16) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-05 at 031ecc1886) + git-gc.txt: expand discussion of races with other processes Originally merged to 'next' on 2016-11-17 Doc update. Will merge to 'master'. * kn/ref-filter-branch-list (2016-12-27) 20 commits - branch: implement '--format' option - branch: use ref-filter printing APIs - branch, tag: use porcelain output - ref-filter: allow porcelain to translate messages in the output - ref-filter: add an 'rstrip=<N>' option to atoms which deal with refnames - ref-filter: modify the 'lstrip=<N>' option to work with negative '<N>' - ref-filter: Do not abruptly die when using the 'lstrip=<N>' option - ref-filter: rename the 'strip' option to 'lstrip' - ref-filter: make remote_ref_atom_parser() use refname_atom_parser_internal() - ref-filter: introduce refname_atom_parser() - ref-filter: introduce refname_atom_parser_internal() - ref-filter: make "%(symref)" atom work with the ':short' modifier - ref-filter: add support for %(upstream:track,nobracket) - ref-filter: make %(upstream:track) prints "[gone]" for invalid upstreams - ref-filter: introduce format_ref_array_item() - ref-filter: move get_head_description() from branch.c - ref-filter: modify "%(objectname:short)" to take length - ref-filter: implement %(if:equals=<string>) and %(if:notequals=<string>) - ref-filter: include reference to 'used_atom' within 'atom_value' - ref-filter: implement %(if), %(then), and %(else) atoms The code to list branches in "git branch" has been consolidated with the more generic ref-filter API. Waiting for review to conclude. * jt/fetch-no-redundant-tag-fetch-map (2016-11-11) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-05 at 432f9469a7) + fetch: do not redundantly calculate tag refmap Originally merged to 'next' on 2016-11-16 Code cleanup to avoid using redundant refspecs while fetching with the --tags option. Will merge to 'master'. * jc/git-open-cloexec (2016-11-02) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-27 at 487682eb6e) + sha1_file: stop opening files with O_NOATIME + git_open_cloexec(): use fcntl(2) w/ FD_CLOEXEC fallback + git_open(): untangle possible NOATIME and CLOEXEC interactions The codeflow of setting NOATIME and CLOEXEC on file descriptors Git opens has been simplified. Will merge to 'master'. We may want to drop the tip one, but we'll see. * jk/no-looking-at-dotgit-outside-repo-final (2016-10-26) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-05 at 0c77e39cd5) + setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git" Originally merged to 'next' on 2016-10-26 This is the endgame of the topic to avoid blindly falling back to ".git" when the setup sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository. A corner case that happens to work right now may be broken by a call to die("BUG"). Will cook in 'next'. * jc/reset-unmerge (2016-10-24) 1 commit - reset: --unmerge After "git add" is run prematurely during a conflict resolution, "git diff" can no longer be used as a way to sanity check by looking at the combined diff. "git reset" learned a new "--unmerge" option to recover from this situation. Will discard. This may not be needed, given that update-index has a similar option. * jc/merge-base-fp-only (2016-10-19) 8 commits . merge-base: fp experiment - merge: allow to use only the fp-only merge bases - merge-base: limit the output to bases that are on first-parent chain - merge-base: mark bases that are on first-parent chain - merge-base: expose get_merge_bases_many_0() a bit more - merge-base: stop moving commits around in remove_redundant() - sha1_name: remove ONELINE_SEEN bit - commit: simplify fastpath of merge-base An experiment of merge-base that ignores common ancestors that are not on the first parent chain. Will discard. The whole premise feels wrong. * 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.

Waiting for a reroll. cf. <20161007210721.20437-1-santiago@xxxxxxx> * sb/attr (2016-11-11) 35 commits . completion: clone can initialize specific submodules . clone: add --init-submodule=<pathspec> switch . submodule update: add `--init-default-path` switch . 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 - attr: keep attr stack for each check - attr: convert to new threadsafe API - attr: make git_check_attr_counted static - 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 - attr.c: pass struct git_attr_check down the callchain - attr.c: add push_stack() helper - attr: support quoting pathname patterns in C style - attr: expose validity check for attribute names - 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 The attributes API has been updated so that it can later be optimized using the knowledge of which attributes are queried. Building on top of the updated API, the pathspec machinery learned 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. * jc/latin-1 (2016-09-26) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-05 at fb549caa12) + utf8: accept "latin-1" as ISO-8859-1 + utf8: refactor code to decide fallback encoding Originally merged to 'next' on 2016-09-28 Some platforms no longer understand "latin-1" that is still seen in the wild in e-mail headers; replace them with "iso-8859-1" that is more widely known when conversion fails from/to it. Will merge to 'master'. * sg/fix-versioncmp-with-common-suffix (2016-12-08) 8 commits - versioncmp: generalize version sort suffix reordering - squash! versioncmp: use earliest-longest contained suffix to determine sorting order - versioncmp: use earliest-longest contained suffix to determine sorting order - versioncmp: cope with common part overlapping with prerelease suffix - 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 review to conclude. cf. <20161208142401.1329-1-szeder.dev@xxxxxxxxx> * jc/merge-drop-old-syntax (2015-04-29) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-12-05 at 041946dae0) + merge: drop 'git merge <message> HEAD <commit>' syntax Originally merged to 'next' on 2016-10-11 Stop supporting "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>" syntax that has been deprecated since October 2007, and issues a deprecation warning message since v2.5.0. Will cook in 'next'.
