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"] * bb/make-developer-pedantic (2018-07-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at c738a84b7e) + Makefile: add a DEVOPTS flag to get pedantic compilation "make DEVELOPER=1 DEVOPTS=pedantic" allows developers to compile with -pedantic option, which may catch more problematic program constructs and potential bugs. * bb/redecl-enum-fix (2018-07-26) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-06 at 828dc4b156) + packfile: ensure that enum object_type is defined Compilation fix. * bw/clone-ref-prefixes (2018-07-20) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at c8ad140ab0) + clone: send ref-prefixes when using protocol v2 The wire-protocol v2 relies on the client to send "ref prefixes" to limit the bandwidth spent on the initial ref advertisement. "git clone" when learned to speak v2 forgot to do so, which has been corrected. * bw/fetch-pack-i18n (2018-07-23) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at df72001755) + fetch-pack: mark die strings for translation i18n updates. * bw/protocol-v2 (2018-07-24) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at f4076b3e94) + pack-protocol: mention and point to docs for protocol v2 Doc update. * cb/p4-pre-submit-hook (2018-08-01) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-06 at e40ae4af80) + git-p4: add the `p4-pre-submit` hook "git p4 submit" learns to ask its own pre-submit hook if it should continue with submitting. * en/merge-recursive-skip-fix (2018-07-27) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-06 at 9ab321a15c) + merge-recursive: preserve skip_worktree bit when necessary + t3507: add a testcase showing failure with sparse checkout When the sparse checkout feature is in use, "git cherry-pick" and other mergy operations lost the skip_worktree bit when a path that is excluded from checkout requires content level merge, which is resolved as the same as the HEAD version, without materializing the merge result in the working tree, which made the path appear as deleted. This has been corrected by preserving the skip_worktree bit (and not materializing the file in the working tree). * es/diff-color-moved-fix (2018-07-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at 233bccfbfb) + diff: --color-moved: rename "dimmed_zebra" to "dimmed-zebra" One of the "diff --color-moved" mode "dimmed_zebra" that was named in an unusual way has been deprecated and replaced by "dimmed-zebra". * es/mw-to-git-chain-fix (2018-07-31) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-06 at c10246e1c8) + mw-to-git/t9360: fix broken &&-chain Test fix. * hs/gpgsm (2018-07-20) 7 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at db28bffe4f) + gpg-interface t: extend the existing GPG tests with GPGSM + gpg-interface: introduce new signature format "x509" using gpgsm + gpg-interface: introduce new config to select per gpg format program + gpg-interface: do not hardcode the key string len anymore + gpg-interface: introduce an abstraction for multiple gpg formats + t/t7510: check the validation of the new config gpg.format + gpg-interface: add new config to select how to sign a commit Teach "git tag -s" etc. a few configuration variables (gpg.format that can be set to "openpgp" or "x509", and gpg.<format>.program that is used to specify what program to use to deal with the format) to allow x.509 certs with CMS via "gpgsm" to be used instead of openpgp via "gnupg". * jh/json-writer (2018-07-16) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at d841450c7d) + json_writer: new routines to create JSON data (this branch is used by jh/structured-logging.) Preparatory code to later add json output for telemetry data. * jk/banned-function (2018-07-26) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-06 at 3dcd1999df) + banned.h: mark strncpy() as banned + banned.h: mark sprintf() as banned + banned.h: mark strcat() as banned + automatically ban strcpy() + Merge branch 'sb/blame-color' into jk/banned-function It is too easy to misuse system API functions such as strcat(); these selected functions are now forbidden in this codebase and will cause a compilation failure. * jk/core-use-replace-refs (2018-07-18) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at 90fb6b1056) + add core.usereplacerefs config option + check_replace_refs: rename to read_replace_refs + check_replace_refs: fix outdated comment A new configuration variable core.usereplacerefs has been added, primarily to help server installations that want to ignore the replace mechanism altogether. * jk/size-t (2018-07-24) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at 6f861e05f0) + strbuf_humanise: use unsigned variables + pass st.st_size as hint for strbuf_readlink() + strbuf_readlink: use ssize_t + strbuf: use size_t for length in intermediate variables + reencode_string: use size_t for string lengths + reencode_string: use st_add/st_mult helpers Code clean-up to use size_t/ssize_t when they are the right type. * jk/ui-color-always-to-auto (2018-07-18) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at 1a054baf0e) + Documentation: fix --color option formatting Doc formatting fix. * jn/subtree-test-fixes (2018-07-30) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-06 at 62f21c328f) + subtree test: simplify preparation of expected results + subtree test: add missing && to &&-chain Test fix. * js/t7406-recursive-submodule-update-order-fix (2018-07-23) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at 217ea36a37) + t7406: avoid failures solely due to timing issues Test fix. * js/vscode (2018-07-30) 9 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-06 at 5c578b63a8) + vscode: let cSpell work on commit messages, too + vscode: add a dictionary for cSpell + vscode: use 8-space tabs, no trailing ws, etc for Git's source code + vscode: wrap commit messages at column 72 by default + vscode: only overwrite C/C++ settings + mingw: define WIN32 explicitly + cache.h: extract enum declaration from inside a struct declaration + vscode: hard-code a couple defines + contrib: add a script to initialize VS Code configuration Add a script (in contrib/) to help users of VSCode work better with our codebase. * jt/connectivity-check-after-unshallow (2018-08-01) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-06 at 1932418f46) + fetch-pack: unify ref in and out param "git fetch" sometimes failed to update the remote-tracking refs, which has been corrected. * jt/tag-following-with-proto-v2-fix (2018-07-24) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at d9eabdea95) + fetch: send "refs/tags/" prefix upon CLI refspecs + t5702: test fetch with multiple refspecs at a time The wire-protocol v2 relies on the client to send "ref prefixes" to limit the bandwidth spent on the initial ref advertisement. "git fetch $remote branch:branch" that asks tags that point into the history leading to the "branch" automatically followed sent to narrow prefix and broke the tag following, which has been fixed. * ms/http-proto-doc (2018-07-30) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-06 at df1cac9945) + doc: fix want-capability separator Doc fix. * nd/i18n (2018-07-23) 23 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at 904a22a5d1) + transport-helper.c: mark more strings for translation + transport.c: mark more strings for translation + sha1-file.c: mark more strings for translation + sequencer.c: mark more strings for translation + replace-object.c: mark more strings for translation + refspec.c: mark more strings for translation + refs.c: mark more strings for translation + pkt-line.c: mark more strings for translation + object.c: mark more strings for translation + exec-cmd.c: mark more strings for translation + environment.c: mark more strings for translation + dir.c: mark more strings for translation + convert.c: mark more strings for translation + connect.c: mark more strings for translation + config.c: mark more strings for translation + commit-graph.c: mark more strings for translation + builtin/replace.c: mark more strings for translation + builtin/pack-objects.c: mark more strings for translation + builtin/grep.c: mark strings for translation + builtin/config.c: mark more strings for translation + archive-zip.c: mark more strings for translation + archive-tar.c: mark more strings for translation + Update messages in preparation for i18n Many more strings are prepared for l10n. * nd/pack-objects-threading-doc (2018-07-30) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-06 at cc8c305191) + pack-objects: document about thread synchronization Doc fix. * rs/remote-mv-leakfix (2018-08-01) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-06 at 999fe6d3e5) + remote: clear string_list after use in mv() Leakfix. * sb/histogram-less-memory (2018-07-23) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at cfb02aa3b5) + xdiff/histogram: remove tail recursion + xdiff/xhistogram: move index allocation into find_lcs + xdiff/xhistogram: factor out memory cleanup into free_index() + xdiff/xhistogram: pass arguments directly to fall_back_to_classic_diff "git diff --histogram" had a bad memory usage pattern, which has been rearranged to reduce the peak usage. * sb/trailers-docfix (2018-07-20) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at ba348fafcd) + Documentation/git-interpret-trailers: explain possible values Doc update. * sg/coccicheck-updates (2018-07-23) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at b5548ff3a9) + coccinelle: extract dedicated make target to clean Coccinelle's results + coccinelle: put sane filenames into output patches + coccinelle: exclude sha1dc source files from static analysis + coccinelle: use $(addsuffix) in 'coccicheck' make target + coccinelle: mark the 'coccicheck' make target as .PHONY Update the way we use Coccinelle to find out-of-style code that need to be modernised. * sg/fast-import-dump-refs-on-checkpoint-fix (2018-07-20) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at f5c05b5a2c) + t9300: wait for background fast-import process to die after killing it Test update. * sg/travis-cocci-diagnose-failure (2018-07-23) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-02 at 54808a8778) + travis-ci: fail if Coccinelle static analysis found something to transform + travis-ci: run Coccinelle static analysis with two parallel jobs Update the way we run static analysis tool at TravisCI to make it easier to use its findings. * sg/travis-retrieve-trash-upon-failure (2018-08-01) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-06 at d67def2a92) + travis-ci: include the trash directories of failed tests in the trace log The Travis CI scripts were taught to ship back the test data from failed tests. -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * en/t7406-fixes (2018-08-08) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at c6a740d828) + t7406: avoid using test_must_fail for commands other than git + t7406: prefer test_* helper functions to test -[feds] + t7406: avoid having git commands upstream of a pipe + t7406: simplify by using diff --name-only instead of diff --raw + t7406: fix call that was failing for the wrong reason Test fixes. Will merge to 'master'. * en/update-index-doc (2018-08-08) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at 3ee0ae14dc) + git-update-index.txt: reword possibly confusing example Doc update. Will merge to 'master'. * jc/update-index-doc (2018-08-08) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at 055994ccca) + update-index: there no longer is `apply --index-info` Doc update. Will merge to 'master'. * js/typofixes (2018-08-08) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at ce3932254a) + remote-curl: remove spurious period + git-compat-util.h: fix typo Comment update. Will merge to 'master'. * jt/repack-promisor-packs (2018-08-09) 2 commits - repack: repack promisor objects if -a or -A is set - repack: refactor setup of pack-objects cmd After a partial clone, repeated fetches from promisor remote would have accumulated many packfiles marked with .promisor bit without getting them coalesced into fewer packfiles, hurting performance. "git repack" now learned to repack them. Will merge to 'next'. * sk/instaweb-rh-update (2018-08-08) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at ce5f1115e9) + git-instaweb: fix apache2 config with apache >= 2.4 + git-instaweb: support Fedora/Red Hat apache module path "git instaweb" has been adjusted to run better with newer Apache on RedHat based distros.

I find the design a bit iffy in that our usual "missing in the working tree? let's use the latest blob" fallback is to take it from the index, not from the HEAD. * bw/submodule-name-to-dir (2018-08-10) 2 commits - submodule: munge paths to submodule git directories - submodule: create helper to build paths to submodule gitdirs In modern repository layout, the real body of a cloned submodule repository is held in .git/modules/ of the superproject, indexed by the submodule name. URLencode the submodule name before computing the name of the directory to make sure they form a flat namespace. Will merge to 'next'. * cc/delta-islands (2018-08-10) 8 commits - pack-objects: move 'layer' into 'struct packing_data' - pack-objects: move tree_depth into 'struct packing_data' - t5320: delta islands tests - repack: add delta-islands support - pack-objects: add delta-islands support - pack-objects: refactor code into compute_layer_order() - Add delta-islands.{c,h} - packfile: make get_delta_base() non static Lift code from GitHub to restrict delta computation so that an object that exists in one fork is not made into a delta against another object that does not appear in the same forked repository. What's the doneness of this topic? * ds/commit-graph-fsck (2018-08-13) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at a2f82d3cbd) + t5318: use 'test_cmp_bin' to compare commit-graph files Test fix. Will merge to 'master'. * en/incl-forward-decl (2018-08-15) 6 commits - Remove forward declaration of an enum - compat/precompose_utf8.h: use more common include guard style - urlmatch.h: fix include guard - Move definition of enum branch_track from cache.h to branch.h - alloc: make allocate_alloc_state and clear_alloc_state more consistent - Add missing includes and forward declarations Code hygiene improvement for the header files. Will merge to 'next'. * es/chain-lint-more (2018-08-13) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at bb5150ee96) + chainlint: add test of pathological case which triggered false positive + chainlint: recognize multi-line quoted strings more robustly + chainlint: let here-doc and multi-line string commence on same line + chainlint: recognize multi-line $(...) when command cuddled with "$(" + chainlint: match 'quoted' here-doc tags + chainlint: match arbitrary here-docs tags rather than hard-coded names Improve built-in facility to catch broken &&-chain in the tests. Will merge to 'master'. * jc/gpg-status (2018-08-09) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at 824781761a) + gpg-interface: propagate exit status from gpg back to the callers Will merge to 'master'. * jh/partial-clone-doc (2018-08-15) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at cf09e8be6a) + partial-clone: render design doc using asciidoc Doc updates. Will merge to 'master'. * jk/for-each-object-iteration (2018-08-14) 11 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at e2558810ff) + for_each_*_object: move declarations to object-store.h + cat-file: use a single strbuf for all output + cat-file: split batch "buf" into two variables + cat-file: use oidset check-and-insert + cat-file: support "unordered" output for --batch-all-objects + cat-file: rename batch_{loose,packed}_object callbacks + t1006: test cat-file --batch-all-objects with duplicates + for_each_packed_object: support iterating in pack-order + for_each_*_object: give more comprehensive docstrings + for_each_*_object: take flag arguments as enum + for_each_*_object: store flag definitions in a single location The API to iterate over all objects learned to optionally list objects in the order they appear in packfiles, which helps locality of access if the caller accesses these objects while as objects are enumerated. Will merge to 'master'. * js/chain-lint-attrfix (2018-08-15) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at e9ad19a848) + chainlint: fix for core.autocrlf=true Test fix. Will merge to 'master'. * js/mingw-o-append (2018-08-13) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at 284527a0fb) + mingw: enable atomic O_APPEND Among the three codepaths we use O_APPEND to open a file for appending, one used for writing GIT_TRACE output requires O_APPEND implementation that behaves sensibly when multiple processes are writing to the same file. POSIX emulation used in the Windows port has been updated to improve in this area. Will merge to 'master'. * jt/commit-graph-per-object-store (2018-08-13) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at 5d6db738d8) + t5318: avoid unnecessary command substitutions Test update. Will merge to 'master'. * jt/fetch-negotiator-skipping (2018-08-10) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at 3cf8fa32f5) + t5552: suppress upload-pack trace output Test fix. Will merge to 'master'. * md/filter-trees (2018-08-15) 6 commits - list-objects-filter: implement filter tree:0 - revision: mark non-user-given objects instead - rev-list: handle missing tree objects properly - list-objects: always parse trees gently - list-objects: refactor to process_tree_contents - list-objects: store common func args in struct The "rev-list --filter" feature learned to exclude all trees via "tree:0" filter. Expecting a reroll. * nd/no-the-index (2018-08-13) 24 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at 41e53dc53b) + blame.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index + apply.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index + apply.c: make init_apply_state() take a struct repository + apply.c: pass struct apply_state to more functions + resolve-undo.c: use the right index instead of the_index + archive-*.c: use the right repository + archive.c: avoid access to the_index + grep: use the right index instead of the_index + attr: remove index from git_attr_set_direction() + entry.c: use the right index instead of the_index + submodule.c: use the right index instead of the_index + pathspec.c: use the right index instead of the_index + unpack-trees: avoid the_index in verify_absent() + unpack-trees: convert clear_ce_flags* to avoid the_index + unpack-trees: don't shadow global var the_index + unpack-trees: add a note about path invalidation + unpack-trees: remove 'extern' on function declaration + ls-files: correct index argument to get_convert_attr_ascii() + preload-index.c: use the right index instead of the_index + dir.c: remove an implicit dependency on the_index in pathspec code + convert.c: remove an implicit dependency on the_index + attr: remove an implicit dependency on the_index + cache-tree: wrap the_index based wrappers with #ifdef + diff.c: move read_index() code back to the caller (this branch uses nd/no-extern.) The more library-ish parts of the codebase learned to work on the in-core index-state instance that is passed in by their callers, instead of always working on the singleton "the_index" instance. Will merge to 'master'. * ng/mergetool-lose-final-prompt (2018-08-13) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at f8f7ac365b) + mergetool: don't suggest to continue after last file "git mergetool" stopped and gave an extra prompt to continue after the last path has been handled, which did not make much sense. Will merge to 'master'. * ng/status-i-short-for-ignored (2018-08-09) 1 commit - status: -i shorthand for --ignored command line option * pk/rebase-in-c-2-basic (2018-08-10) 11 commits - builtin rebase: support `git rebase <upstream> <switch-to>` - builtin rebase: only store fully-qualified refs in `options.head_name` - builtin rebase: start a new rebase only if none is in progress - builtin rebase: support --force-rebase - builtin rebase: try to fast forward when possible - builtin rebase: require a clean worktree - builtin rebase: support the `verbose` and `diffstat` options - builtin rebase: support --quiet - builtin rebase: handle the pre-rebase hook (and add --no-verify) - builtin rebase: support `git rebase --onto A...B` - builtin rebase: support --onto (this branch is used by pk/rebase-in-c-3-acts, pk/rebase-in-c-4-opts, pk/rebase-in-c-5-test and pk/rebase-in-c-6-final; uses pk/rebase-in-c.) * pk/rebase-in-c-3-acts (2018-08-10) 7 commits - builtin rebase: stop if `git am` is in progress - builtin rebase: actions require a rebase in progress - builtin rebase: support --edit-todo and --show-current-patch - builtin rebase: support --quit - builtin rebase: support --abort - builtin rebase: support --skip - builtin rebase: support --continue (this branch is used by pk/rebase-in-c-4-opts, pk/rebase-in-c-5-test and pk/rebase-in-c-6-final; uses pk/rebase-in-c and pk/rebase-in-c-2-basic.) * pk/rebase-in-c-4-opts (2018-08-10) 18 commits - builtin rebase: support --root - builtin rebase: add support for custom merge strategies - builtin rebase: support `fork-point` option - merge-base --fork-point: extract libified function - builtin rebase: support --rebase-merges[=[no-]rebase-cousins] - builtin rebase: support `--allow-empty-message` option - builtin rebase: support `--exec` - builtin rebase: support `--autostash` option - builtin rebase: support `-C` and `--whitespace=<type>` - builtin rebase: support `--gpg-sign` option - builtin rebase: support `--autosquash` - builtin rebase: support `keep-empty` option - builtin rebase: support `ignore-date` option - builtin rebase: support `ignore-whitespace` option - builtin rebase: support --committer-date-is-author-date - builtin rebase: support --rerere-autoupdate - builtin rebase: support --signoff - builtin rebase: allow selecting the rebase "backend" (this branch is used by pk/rebase-in-c-5-test and pk/rebase-in-c-6-final; uses pk/rebase-in-c, pk/rebase-in-c-2-basic and pk/rebase-in-c-3-acts.) * pk/rebase-in-c-5-test (2018-08-10) 6 commits - builtin rebase: error out on incompatible option/mode combinations - builtin rebase: use no-op editor when interactive is "implied" - builtin rebase: show progress when connected to a terminal - builtin rebase: fast-forward to onto if it is a proper descendant - builtin rebase: optionally pass custom reflogs to reset_head() - builtin rebase: optionally auto-detect the upstream (this branch is used by pk/rebase-in-c-6-final; uses pk/rebase-in-c, pk/rebase-in-c-2-basic, pk/rebase-in-c-3-acts and pk/rebase-in-c-4-opts.) * pk/rebase-in-c-6-final (2018-08-10) 1 commit - rebase: default to using the builtin rebase (this branch uses pk/rebase-in-c, pk/rebase-in-c-2-basic, pk/rebase-in-c-3-acts, pk/rebase-in-c-4-opts and pk/rebase-in-c-5-test.) * ps/stash-in-c (2018-08-08) 26 commits - stash: replace all "git apply" child processes with API calls - stash: replace all `write-tree` child processes with API calls - stash: optimize `get_untracked_files()` and `check_changes()` - stash: convert `stash--helper.c` into `stash.c` - stash: convert save to builtin - stash: replace spawning `git ls-files` child process - stash: add tests for `git stash push -q` - stash: make push to be quiet - stash: convert push to builtin - stash: avoid spawning a "diff-index" process - stash: replace spawning a "read-tree" process - stash: convert create to builtin - stash: convert store to builtin - stash: update `git stash show` documentation - stash: refactor `show_stash()` to use the diff API - stash: change `git stash show` usage text and documentation - stash: convert show to builtin - stash: implement the "list" command in the builtin - stash: convert pop to builtin - stash: convert branch to builtin - stash: convert drop and clear to builtin - stash: convert apply to builtin - stash: renamed test cases to be more descriptive - stash: update test cases conform to coding guidelines - stash: improve option parsing test coverage - sha1-name.c: added 'get_oidf', which acts like 'get_oid' * pw/rebase-i-squash-number-fix (2018-08-15) 2 commits - squash??? if this is easier to read - rebase -i: fix numbering in squash message When "git rebase -i" is told to squash two or more commits into one, it labeled the log message for each commit with its number.

When the cache-tree in the index tells us that we are walking a tree whose flattened contents is known (i.e. matches a span in the index), as linearly scanning a span in the index is much more efficient than having to open tree objects recursively and listing their entries, the walk can be optimized, which is done in this topic.

Recent "git rebase -i" update started to write bogusly formatted author-script, with a matching broken reading code. These are being fixed. Undecided.

Will merge to 'next'. * js/range-diff (2018-08-13) 21 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-15 at 8d56067806) + range-diff: use dim/bold cues to improve dual color mode + range-diff: make --dual-color the default mode + range-diff: left-pad patch numbers + completion: support `git range-diff` + range-diff: populate the man page + range-diff --dual-color: skip white-space warnings + range-diff: offer to dual-color the diffs + diff: add an internal option to dual-color diffs of diffs + color: add the meta color GIT_COLOR_REVERSE + range-diff: use color for the commit pairs + range-diff: add tests + range-diff: do not show "function names" in hunk headers + range-diff: adjust the output of the commit pairs + range-diff: suppress the diff headers + range-diff: indent the diffs just like tbdiff + range-diff: right-trim commit messages + range-diff: also show the diff between patches + range-diff: improve the order of the shown commits + range-diff: first rudimentary implementation + Introduce `range-diff` to compare iterations of a topic branch + linear-assignment: a function to solve least-cost assignment problems (this branch is used by es/format-patch-rangediff and sb/range-diff-colors.) "git tbdiff" that lets us compare individual patches in two iterations of a topic has been rewritten and made into a built-in command. Will merge to 'master'. * lt/date-human (2018-07-09) 1 commit - Add 'human' date format A new date format "--date=human" that morphs its output depending on how far the time is from the current time has been introduced. "--date=auto" can be used to use this new format when the output is goint to the pager or to the terminal and otherwise the default format. * ot/ref-filter-object-info (2018-07-17) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2018-08-08 at 9ed619941b) + ref-filter: use oid_object_info() to get object + ref-filter: merge get_obj and get_object + ref-filter: initialize eaten variable + ref-filter: fill empty fields with empty values + ref-filter: add info_source to valid_atom A few atoms like %(objecttype) and %(objectsize) in the format specifier of "for-each-ref --format=<format>" can be filled without getting the full contents of the object, but just with the object header. These cases have been optimzied by calling oid_object_info() API. Will merge to 'master'. * pk/rebase-in-c (2018-08-06) 3 commits - builtin/rebase: support running "git rebase <upstream>" - rebase: refactor common shell functions into their own file - rebase: start implementing it as a builtin (this branch is used by pk/rebase-in-c-2-basic, pk/rebase-in-c-3-acts, pk/rebase-in-c-4-opts, pk/rebase-in-c-5-test and pk/rebase-in-c-6-final.)

Will merge to and cook in 'next'. -------------------------------------------------- [Discarded] * am/sequencer-author-script-fix (2018-07-18) 1 commit . sequencer.c: terminate the last line of author-script properly The author-script that records the author information created by the sequencer machinery lacked the closing single quote on the last entry. Superseded by another topic. * jc/push-cas-opt-comment (2018-08-01) 1 commit . push: comment on a funny unbalanced option help Code clarification. Superseded by another topic. * cc/remote-odb (2018-08-02) 9 commits . Documentation/config: add odb.<name>.promisorRemote . t0410: test fetching from many promisor remotes . Use odb.origin.partialclonefilter instead of core.partialclonefilter . Use remote_odb_get_direct() and has_remote_odb() . remote-odb: add remote_odb_reinit() . remote-odb: implement remote_odb_get_many_direct() . remote-odb: implement remote_odb_get_direct() . Add initial remote odb support . fetch-object: make functions return an error code Implement lazy fetches of missing objects to complement the experimental partial clone feature. Ejected; seems to break existing repositories that use partialclone repository extension. I haven't seen much interest in this topic on list. What's the doneness of this thing? I do not particularly mind adding code to support a niche feature as long as it is cleanly made and it is clear that the feature won't negatively affect those who do not use it, so a review from that point of view may also be appropriate.
