What's cooking in git.git (Feb 2017, #08; Fri, 24)
--------------------------------------------------
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.
v2.12 has been tagged. Special thanks go to Dscho, who (among other
things) laid the groundwork for speeding up "rebase -i" (which I am
hoping to be finalized in the upcoming cycle) and rewrote "difftool"
in C and to Peff who was all over the place cleaning the code up,
fixing surfaced and unsurfaced bugs. Thanks for everybody else,
too, who worked hard on the release.
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]
* dp/filter-branch-prune-empty (2017-02-23) 4 commits
- p7000: add test for filter-branch with --prune-empty
- filter-branch: fix --prune-empty on parentless commits
- t7003: ensure --prune-empty removes entire branch when applicable
- t7003: ensure --prune-empty can prune root commit
"git filter-branch --prune-empty" drops a single-parent commit that
becomes a no-op, but did not drop a root commit whose tree is empty.
Needs review.
* jc/config-case-cmdline-take-2 (2017-02-23) 2 commits
- config: use git_config_parse_key() in git_config_parse_parameter()
- config: move a few helper functions up
The code to parse "git -c VAR=VAL cmd" and set configuration
variable for the duration of cmd had two small bugs, which have
been fixed.
Will merge to and then cook in 'next'.
This supersedes jc/config-case-cmdline topic.

* ls/filter-process-delayed (2017-01-08) 1 commit
. convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocol
Ejected, as does not build when merged to 'pu'.
* sh/grep-tree-obj-tweak-output (2017-01-20) 2 commits
- grep: use '/' delimiter for paths
- grep: only add delimiter if there isn't one already
"git grep", when fed a tree-ish as an input, shows each hit
prefixed with "<tree-ish>:<path>:<lineno>:". As <tree-ish> is
almost always either a commit or a tag that points at a commit, the
early part of the output "<tree-ish>:<path>" can be used as the
name of the blob and given to "git show". When <tree-ish> is a
tree given in the extended SHA-1 syntax (e.g. "<commit>:", or
"<commit>:<dir>"), however, this results in a string that does not
name a blob (e.g. "<commit>::<path>" or "<commit>:<dir>:<path>").
"git grep" has been taught to be a bit more intelligent about these
cases and omit a colon (in the former case) or use slash (in the
latter case) to produce "<commit>:<path>" and
"<commit>:<dir>/<path>" that can be used as the name of a blob.
Expecting a reroll? Is this good enough with known limitations?
* 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]
* js/curl-empty-auth-set-by-default (2017-02-22) 1 commit
- http(s): automatically try NTLM authentication first
Flip "http.emptyAuth" on by default to help OOB experience for
users of HTTP Negotiate authentication scheme.
Under discussion.
cf. <20170222233419.q3fxqmrscosumbjm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
* jh/send-email-one-cc (2017-02-23) 1 commit
- send-email: only allow one address per body tag
"Cc:" on the trailer part does not have to conform to RFC strictly,
unlike in the e-mail header. "git send-email" has been updated to
ignore anything after '>' when picking addresses, to allow non-address
cruft like " # stable 4.4" after the address.
Will merge to and then cook in 'next'.
* jk/http-auth (2017-02-23) 1 commit
- http: restrict auth methods to what the server advertises
Reduce authentication round-trip over HTTP when the server supports
just a single authentication method.
Will merge to and then cook in 'next'.
There is a follow-up that would supersede js/curl-empty-auth-set-by-default
topic; as it expected to be refined further, it is not queued here yet.
* jk/ident-empty (2017-02-23) 4 commits
- ident: do not ignore empty config name/email
- ident: reject all-crud ident name
- ident: handle NULL email when complaining of empty name
- ident: mark error messages for translation
user.email that consists of only cruft chars should have
consistently errored out, but didn't.
Will merge to and then cook in 'next'.
* jt/upload-pack-error-report (2017-02-23) 1 commit
- upload-pack: report "not our ref" to client
"git upload-pack", which is a counter-part of "git fetch", did not
report a request for a ref that was not advertised as invalid.
This is generally not a problem (because "git fetch" will stop
before making such a request), but is the right thing to do.
Will merge to and then cook in 'next'.
* jk/tempfile-ferror-fclose-confusion (2017-02-17) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2017-02-21 at 479ba0131f)
+ tempfile: set errno to a known value before calling ferror()
A caller of tempfile API that uses stdio interface to write to
files may ignore errors while writing, which is detected when
tempfile is closed (with a call to ferror()). By that time, the
original errno that may have told us what went wrong is likely to
be long gone and was overwritten by an irrelevant value.
close_tempfile() now resets errno to EIO to make errno at least
predictable.
Will cook in 'next'.
* ah/doc-ls-files-quotepath (2017-02-22) 1 commit
- Documentation: clarify core.quotePath and update git-ls-files doc
Documentation for "git ls-files" did not refer to core.quotePath
Looked good, but another reroll is still incoming?

* jc/config-case-cmdline (2017-02-21) 3 commits

+ config: squelch stupid compiler
(merged to 'next' on 2017-02-21 at 354f023a3a)
+ config: reject invalid VAR in 'git -c VAR=VAL command'
+ config: preserve <subsection> case for one-shot config on the command line
The code to parse "git -c VAR=VAL cmd" and set configuration
variable for the duration of cmd had two small bugs, which have
been fixed.
Will discard.
* jh/memihash-opt (2017-02-17) 5 commits
- name-hash: remember previous dir_entry during lazy_init_name_hash
- name-hash: specify initial size for istate.dir_hash table
- name-hash: precompute hash values during preload-index
- hashmap: allow memihash computation to be continued
- name-hash: eliminate duplicate memihash call
Expecting an update for perf?
* km/delete-ref-reflog-message (2017-02-20) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2017-02-21 at 4ee4ce3f64)
+ branch: record creation of renamed branch in HEAD's log
+ rename_ref: replace empty message in HEAD's log
+ update-ref: pass reflog message to delete_ref()
+ delete_ref: accept a reflog message argument
"git update-ref -d" and other operations to delete references did
not leave any entry in HEAD's reflog when the reference being
deleted was the current branch. This is not a problem in practice
because you do not want to delete the branch you are currently on,
but caused renaming of the current branch to something else not to
be logged in a useful way.
Will cook in 'next'.
* nd/prune-in-worktree (2017-02-19) 15 commits
. rev-list: expose and document --single-worktree
. revision.c: --reflog add HEAD reflog from all worktrees
. files-backend: make reflog iterator go through per-worktree reflog
. refs: add refs_for_each_reflog[_ent]()
. revision.c: --all adds HEAD from all worktrees
. refs: remove dead for_each_*_submodule()
. revision.c: use refs_for_each*() instead of for_each_*_submodule()

. revision.c: --indexed-objects add objects from all worktrees
. revision.c: refactor add_index_objects_to_pending()
. revision.h: new flag in struct rev_info wrt. worktree-related refs
(this branch uses mh/ref-remove-empty-directory, mh/submodule-hash and nd/worktree-kill-parse-ref; is tangled with nd/files-backend-git-dir.)
"git gc" and friends when multiple worktrees are used off of a
single repository did not consider the index and per-worktree refs
of other worktrees as the root for reachability traversal, making
objects that are in use only in other worktrees to be subject to
garbage collection.
* mm/fetch-show-error-message-on-unadvertised-object (2017-02-22) 4 commits
- fetch-pack: add specific error for fetching an unadvertised object
- fetch_refs_via_pack: call report_unmatched_refs
- squash??? remove unfinished sentence
- fetch-pack: move code to report unmatched refs to a function
"git fetch" that requests a commit by object name, when the other
side does not allow such an request, failed without much
explanation.
* rl/remote-allow-missing-branch-name-merge (2017-02-21) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2017-02-22 at cbe923c8da)
+ remote: ignore failure to remove missing branch.<name>.merge
"git remote rm X", when a branch has remote X configured as the
value of its branch.*.remote, tried to remove branch.*.remote and
branch.*.merge and failed if either is unset.
Will cook in 'next'.
* vn/xdiff-func-context (2017-01-15) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2017-02-21 at 838eab8d93)

"git diff -W" has been taught to handle the case where a new
function is added at the end of the file better.
Will cook in 'next'.

. refs: kill set_worktree_head_symref()
. refs: add refs_create_symref()

. files-backend: add files_path()
. files-backend: convert git_path() to strbuf_git_path()
. refs-internal.c: make files_log_ref_write() static
. Merge branch 'mh/ref-remove-empty-directory' into nd/files-backend-git-dir
. Merge branch 'mh/submodule-hash' into nd/files-backend-git-dir
(this branch is used by nd/prune-in-worktree; uses mh/ref-remove-empty-directory and mh/submodule-hash; is tangled with nd/files-backend-git-dir.)
(hopefully) a beginning of safer "git worktree" that is resistant
to "gc".
Needs review.
* nd/files-backend-git-dir (2017-02-22) 26 commits
. t1406: new tests for submodule ref store
. t1405: some basic tests on main ref store

. files-backend: convert git_path() to strbuf_git_path()
. files-backend: add and use files_packed_refs_path()
. files-backend: make files_log_ref_write() static
. refs.h: add forward declaration for structs used in this file
. Merge branch 'mh/ref-remove-empty-directory' into nd/files-backend-git-dir
. Merge branch 'mh/submodule-hash' into nd/files-backend-git-dir
(this branch uses mh/ref-remove-empty-directory and mh/submodule-hash; is tangled with nd/prune-in-worktree and nd/worktree-kill-parse-ref.)
The "submodule" specific field in the ref_store structure is
replaced with a more generic "gitdir" that can later be used also
when dealing with ref_store that represents the set of refs visible
from the other worktrees.
Needs review.

(merged to 'next' on 2017-02-16 at c0802f7627)

+ grep: treat revs the same for --untracked as for --no-index
+ grep: do not diagnose misspelt revs with --no-index
+ grep: avoid resolving revision names in --no-index case
+ grep: fix "--" rev/pathspec disambiguation
+ grep: re-order rev-parsing loop
+ grep: do not unnecessarily query repo for "--"
+ grep: move thread initialization a little lower
The code to parse the command line "git grep <patterns>... <rev>
[[--] <pathspec>...]" has been cleaned up, and a handful of bugs
have been fixed (e.g. we used to check "--" if it is a rev).

+ show-branch: use skip_prefix to drop magic numbers
+ show-branch: store resolved head in heap buffer

The output from "git log --oneline --decorate" has been updated to
show the extra information at the end of the line, not near the
front.
Will cook in 'next'.
Perhaps this is not such a cool idea?

without being in a directory under Git's control. However, recent
updates revealed that we randomly look into a directory called
.git/ without actually doing necessary set-up when working in a
repository. Stop doing so.

+ pathspec magic: add '^' as alias for '!'
The "negative" pathspec feature was somewhat more cumbersome to use
than necessary in that its short-hand used "!" which needed to be
escaped from shells, and it required "exclude from what?" specified.

- completion: wrap __git_refs() for better option parsing
- completion: remove redundant __gitcomp_nl() options from _git_commit()
(this branch uses sg/completion.)
The refs completion for large number of refs has been sped up,
partly by giving up disambiguating ambiguous refs and partly by
eliminating most of the shell processing between 'git for-each-ref'
and 'ls-remote' and Bash's completion facility.

+ connect: Add the envvar GIT_SSH_VARIANT and ssh.variant config
+ git_connect(): factor out SSH variant handling
+ connect: rename tortoiseplink and putty variables
+ connect: handle putty/plink also in GIT_SSH_COMMAND
The command line options for ssh invocation needs to be tweaked for
some implementations of SSH (e.g. PuTTY plink wants "-P <port>"
while OpenSSH wants "-p <port>" to specify port to connect to), and
the variant was guessed when GIT_SSH environment variable is used
to specify it. The logic to guess now applies to the command
specified by the newer GIT_SSH_COMMAND and also core.sshcommand
configuration variable, and comes with an escape hatch for users to
deal with misdetected cases.
