What's cooking in git.git (Apr 2019, #01; Thu, 4) -------------------------------------------------- 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. So, ... while I was offline for a week, there seems to have been quite a lot of activities around here. Hopefully everybody had fun in the meantime ;-) I think I'm mostly caught up by now (except for an inevitable "fell thru the cracks" topic or three) and here is what I collected so far, thinking that they may be worth looking at. I haven't given any deep thought to many topics yet, so the topic description may be either totally lacking or completely incorrect, and their assessment may be stale and not reflect the already-reached list concensus. As always, help in updating them would be grately appreciated. 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"] * ab/makefile-help-devs-more (2019-02-24) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-11 at 898f5f44bc) + Makefile: allow for combining DEVELOPER=1 and CFLAGS="..." + Makefile: move the setting of *FLAGS closer to "include" + Makefile: Move *_LIBS assignment into its own section + Makefile: add/remove comments at top and tweak whitespace + Makefile: move "strip" assignment down from flags + Makefile: remove an out-of-date comment Originally merged to 'next' on 2019-03-07 CFLAGS now can be tweaked when invoking Make while using DEVELOPER=YesPlease; this did not work well before. * br/commit-tree-parseopt (2019-03-08) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-11 at e1228ef04f) + commit-tree: utilize parse-options api Originally merged to 'next' on 2019-03-08 The command line parser of "git commit-tree" has been rewritten to use the parse-options API. * jk/bisect-final-output (2019-03-01) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-11 at dea599eb04) + bisect: make diff-tree output prettier + bisect: fix internal diff-tree config loading + bisect: use string arguments to feed internal diff-tree Originally merged to 'next' on 2019-03-07 The final report from "git bisect" used to show the suspected culprit using a raw "diff-tree", with which there is no output for a merge commit. This has been updated to use a more modern and human readable output that still is concise enough. * jk/config-type-color-ends-with-lf (2019-03-07) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-11 at 810b269d1a) + config: document --type=color output is a complete line Originally merged to 'next' on 2019-03-07 "git config --type=color ..." is meant to replace "git config --get-color" but there is a slight difference that wasn't documented, which is now fixed. * jk/fsck-doc (2019-03-05) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-11 at 5cd610f73e) + fsck: always compute USED flags for unreachable objects + doc/fsck: clarify --connectivity-only behavior Originally merged to 'next' on 2019-03-07 "git fsck --connectivity-only" omits computation necessary to sift the objects that are not reachable from any of the refs into unreachable and dangling. This is now enabled when dangling objects are requested (which is done by default, but can be overridden with the "--no-dangling" option). * jk/no-sigpipe-during-network-transport (2019-03-05) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-11 at 25900acd0d) + fetch: ignore SIGPIPE during network operation + fetch: avoid calling write_or_die() Originally merged to 'next' on 2019-03-07 On platforms where "git fetch" is killed with SIGPIPE (e.g. OSX), the upload-pack that runs on the other end that hangs up after detecting an error could cause "git fetch" to die with a signal, which led to a flakey test. "git fetch" now ignores SIGPIPE during the network portion of its operation (this is not a problem as we check the return status from our write(2)s). * jk/virtual-objects-do-exist (2019-03-05) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-11 at 748c79a1f0) + rev-list: allow cached objects in existence check Originally merged to 'next' on 2019-03-07 A recent update broke "is this object available to us?" check for well-known objects like an empty tree (which should yield "yes", even when there is no on-disk object for an empty tree), which has been corrected. * js/rebase-orig-head-fix (2019-03-04) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-11 at 4b1b19d391) + built-in rebase: set ORIG_HEAD just once, before the rebase + built-in rebase: demonstrate that ORIG_HEAD is not set correctly + built-in rebase: use the correct reflog when switching branches + built-in rebase: no need to check out `onto` twice Originally merged to 'next' on 2019-03-07 "git rebase" that was reimplemented in C did not set ORIG_HEAD correctly, which has been corrected. * js/stress-test-ui-tweak (2019-03-04) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-11 at 223afded1c) + tests: introduce --stress-jobs=<N> + tests: let --stress-limit=<N> imply --stress Originally merged to 'next' on 2019-03-07 Dev support. * ma/clear-repository-format (2019-03-01) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-11 at f3db1c278f) + setup: fix memory leaks with `struct repository_format` + setup: free old value before setting `work_tree` Originally merged to 'next' on 2019-03-07 The setup code has been cleaned up to avoid leaks around the repository_format structure. * sx/evolve (2019-02-15) 8 commits . evolve: add the git change list command . evolve: implement the git change command . evolve: add support for writing metacommits . evolve: add the change-table structure . evolve: add support for parsing metacommits . ref-filter: add the metas namespace to ref-filter . sha1-array: implement oid_array_readonly_contains . technical doc: add a design doc for the evolve command The beginning of "hg evolve" mimicry. -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * ms/worktree-add-atomic-mkdir (2019-03-12) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-20 at ded442ed02) + worktree: fix worktree add race "git worktree add" used to do a "find an available name with stat and then mkdir", which is race-prone. This has been fixed by using mkdir and reacting to EEXIST in a loop. Will merge to 'master'. * tb/stash-in-c-unused-param-fix (2019-03-11) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-20 at 5ccac5f80d) + stash: drop unused parameter (this branch uses ps/stash-in-c; is tangled with js/stash-in-c-pathspec-fix and tg/stash-in-c-show-default-to-p-fix.) Code clean-up. Will cook in 'next'. * dl/subtree-limit-to-one-rev (2019-03-12) 1 commit - contrib/subtree: ensure only one rev is provided "git subtree" (in contrib/) update. Will merge to 'next'. * ar/t4150-remove-cruft (2019-03-13) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-20 at a0106a8d5c) + t4150: remove unused variable Test cleanup. Will merge to 'master'. * cb/doco-mono (2019-03-13) 2 commits - doc: format pathnames and URLs as monospace. - doc/CodingGuidelines: URLs and paths as monospace Clean-up markup in the documentation suite.

Will merge to 'master'. * jk/sha1dc (2019-03-13) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-20 at 969280e8e5) + Makefile: fix unaligned loads in sha1dc with UBSan Build update for SHA-1 with collision detection. Will merge to 'master'. * jt/submodule-fetch-errmsg (2019-03-14) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2019-03-20 at a6b0efa76f) + submodule: explain first attempt failure clearly Error message update.

Will merge to 'next'. * jk/perf-lib-tee (2019-03-18) 1 commit - perf-lib.sh: rely on test-lib.sh for --tee handling Code cleanup in the test framework.

This has been fixed. The title of the top two commits are fairly useless and does not say how the issue was fixed, but the fix is to peel the given tag ourselves down to the underlying commit object. Will merge to 'next'. * dk/blame-keep-origin-blob (2019-04-03) 1 commit - blame.c: don't drop origin blobs as eagerly Performance fix around "git blame", especially in a linear history (which is the norm we should optimize for).

Will discard. * dl/rebase-i-keep-base (2019-04-03) 4 commits - rebase: teach rebase --keep-base - rebase: fast-forward --onto in more cases - t3432: test rebase fast-forward behavior - t3431: add rebase --fork-point tests "git rebase --keep-base <upstream>" tries to find the original base of the topic being rebased and rebase on top of that same base, which is useful when running the "git rebase -i" (and its limited variant "git rebase -x").

The system-level configuration can specify site-wide trace2 settings (which would be loved by big-brother types ;-). Getting closer but still being discussed. cf. <20190403000032.GA190454@xxxxxxxxxx> * jk/http-walker-status-fix (2019-03-24) 3 commits - http: use normalize_curl_result() instead of manual conversion - http: normalize curl results for dumb loose and alternates fetches - http: factor out curl result code normalization dumb-http walker has been updated to share more error recovery strategy with the normal codepath. Will merge to 'next'. * jk/refs-double-abort (2019-03-22) 2 commits - refs/files-backend: don't look at an aborted transaction - refs/files-backend: handle packed transaction prepare failure A corner case bug in the refs API has been corrected. Will merge to 'next'. * js/spell-out-options-in-tests (2019-04-02) 8 commits - tests: disallow the use of abbreviated options (by default) - tests (pack-objects): use the full, unabbreviated `--revs` option - tests (status): spell out the `--find-renames` option in full - tests (push): do not abbreviate the `--follow-tags` option - t5531: avoid using an abbreviated option - t7810: do not abbreviate `--no-exclude-standard` nor `--invert-match` - tests (rebase): spell out the `--force-rebase` option - tests (rebase): spell out the `--keep-empty` option The tests have been updated not to rely on the abbreviated option names the parse-options API offers, to protect us from an abbreviated form of an option that used to be unique within the command getting non-unique when a new option that share the same prefix is added. Will merge to 'next'. * js/trace2-to-directory (2019-03-22) 1 commit - trace2: write to directory targets The trace2 tracing facility learned to auto-generate a filename when told to log to a directory.

Aim to achieve better performance by batching the request for these promised blobs. Will merge to 'next'. * jt/fetch-no-update-shallow-in-proto-v2 (2019-04-01) 3 commits - fetch-pack: respect --no-update-shallow in v2 - fetch-pack: call prepare_shallow_info only if v0 - Merge branch 'jt/test-protocol-version' into jt/fetch-no-update-shallow-in-proto-v2 (this branch uses jt/test-protocol-version.)
