What's cooking in git.git (Mar 2020, #04; Mon, 16)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

Git 2.26-rc2 has been tagged.

You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

[Graduated to "master"]

* dr/push-remote-ref-update (2020-03-03) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-03-09 at 5a72128815)
 + remote: drop "explicit" parameter from remote_ref_for_branch()

 Code clean-up.


* ds/sparse-add (2020-03-09) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-03-09 at 4e675cfd89)
 + t1091: don't grep for `strerror()` string

 Test fix.


* en/rebase-backend (2020-03-11) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-03-11 at 52a3c30dc4)
 + git-rebase.txt: highlight backend differences with commit rewording
 + sequencer: clear state upon dropping a become-empty commit
 + i18n: unmark a message in rebase.c

 Band-aid fixes for two fallouts from switching the default "rebase"
 backend.


* en/test-cleanup (2020-03-13) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-03-15 at a2807c8476)
 + t6022, t6046: fix flaky files-are-updated checks

 Test fixes.


* es/outside-repo-errmsg-hints (2020-03-15) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-03-15 at 12be04a348)
 + prefix_path: show gitdir if worktree unavailable

 An earlier update to show the location of working tree in the error
 message did not consider the possibility that a git command may be
 run in a bare repository, which has been corrected.


* jc/doc-single-h-is-for-help (2020-02-27) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-03-09 at 9580bb63a2)
 + Documentation: clarify that `-h` alone stands for `help`

 Both "git ls-remote -h" and "git grep -h" give short usage help,
 like any other Git subcommand, but it is not unreasonable to expect
 that the former would behave the same as "git ls-remote --head"
 (there is no other sensible behaviour for the latter).  The
 documentation has been updated in an attempt to clarify this.

 - git-p4: add --no-verify option
 - git-p4: add p4-pre-submit exit text
 - git-p4: create new function run_git_hook
 - git-p4: rewrite prompt to be Windows compatible

 "git p4" learned four new hooks and also "--no-verify" option to
 bypass them (and the existing "p4-pre-submit" hook).

 Waiting for response to RFH from Windows/Python folks.
 cf. <pull.698.v6.git.git.1581691486.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>


* en/fill-directory-exponential (2020-01-31) 6 commits

 - dir: replace exponential algorithm with a linear one
 - dir: refactor treat_directory to clarify control flow
 - dir: fix confusion based on variable tense
 - dir: fix broken comment
 - dir: consolidate treat_path() and treat_one_path()

 The directory traversal code had redundant recursive calls which
 made its performance characteristics exponential with respect to
 the depth of the tree, which was corrected.

 Expecting an update.

 "git reset HEAD [<pathspec>]" did not reset an empty file that was
 added with the intent-to-add bit.

 Expecting a reroll.


* mk/use-size-t-in-zlib (2018-10-15) 1 commit
 - zlib.c: use size_t for size

 The wrapper to call into zlib followed our long tradition to use
 "unsigned long" for sizes of regions in memory, which have been
 updated to use "size_t".

 + real_path_if_valid(): remove unsafe API

* tb/commit-graph-split-merge (2020-03-05) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-03-09 at f3aa7bb305)

* ah/force-pull-rebase-configuration (2020-03-10) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-03-11 at c79dbbaf9c)
 + pull: warn if the user didn't say whether to rebase or to merge

 "git pull" learned to warn when no pull.rebase configuration
 exists, and neither --[no-]rebase nor --ff-only is given (which
 would result a merge).

 Will cook in 'next'.


* tg/retire-scripted-stash (2020-03-05) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-03-05 at 8e82eb9dec)
 + stash: remove the stash.useBuiltin setting
 + stash: get git_stash_config at the top level

 "git stash" has kept an escape hatch to use the scripted version

* pw/advise-rebase-skip (2019-12-06) 7 commits

 + t3404: use test_cmp_rev

 The mechanism to prevent "git commit" from making an empty commit
 or amending during an interrupted cherry-pick was broken during the
 rewrite of "git rebase" in C, which has been corrected.

* at/rebase-fork-point-regression-fix (2020-02-11) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-03-02 at a1a84d37a7)
 + rebase: --fork-point regression fix

 The "--fork-point" mode of "git rebase" regressed when the command
 was rewritten in C back in 2.20 era, which has been corrected.

 Will cook in 'next'.


* jc/describe-misnamed-annotated-tag (2020-02-20) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-03-02 at b4e2ca6a46)
 + describe: force long format for a name based on a mislocated tag

 When "git describe C" finds an annotated tag with tagname A to be
 the best name to explain commit C, and the tag is stored in a
 "wrong" place in the refs/tags hierarchy, e.g. refs/tags/B, the
 command gave a warning message but used A (not B) to describe C.
 If C is exactly at the tag, the describe output would be "A", but
 "git rev-parse A^0" would not be equal as "git rev-parse C^0".  The
 behavior of the command has been changed to use the "long" form
 i.e. A-0-gOBJECTNAME, which is correctly interpreted by rev-parse.

* hn/reftable (2020-02-26) 6 commits
 . Reftable support for git-core
 . Add reftable library
 . reftable: file format documentation
 . refs: document how ref_iterator_advance_fn should handle symrefs
 . create .git/refs in files-backend.c
 . refs.h: clarify reflog iteration order

 A new refs backend "reftable" to replace the traditional
 combination of packed-refs files and one-file-per-ref loose refs
 has been implemented and integrated for improved performance and
 atomicity.

 Temporarily ejected as this unfortunately conflicts with the
 SHA-256 topic.


* es/bugreport (2020-03-06) 6 commits
 - SQUASH???
 - bugreport: add compiler info
 - bugreport: add uname info
 - bugreport: gather git version and build info
 - bugreport: add tool to generate debugging info
 - help: move list_config_help to builtin/help

 The "bugreport" tool.

 As the scope of the topic got trimmed, hopefully these early parts
 can be polished quickly enough to be merged down.


* gs/commit-graph-path-filter (2020-02-12) 12 commits
 - (bytesex breakage band-aid)
 - commit-graph: add GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_CHANGED_PATHS test flag
 - revision.c: use Bloom filters to speed up path based revision walks
 - commit-graph: add --changed-paths option to write subcommand
 - commit-graph: reuse existing Bloom filters during write.
 - commit-graph: write Bloom filters to commit graph file
 - commit-graph: examine commits by generation number
 - commit-graph: examine changed-path objects in pack order
 - commit-graph: compute Bloom filters for changed paths
 - diff: halt tree-diff early after max_changes
 - bloom: core Bloom filter implementation for changed paths
 - commit-graph: use MAX_NUM_CHUNKS

 Introduce an extension to the commit-graph to make it efficient to
 check for the paths that were modified at each commit using Bloom
 filters.

 Will be rerolled with bytesex fixes squashed in.
 Breakage due to byte-order dependency reported.

* jc/rebase-backend-keep-old-default (2020-03-10) 1 commit
 . rebase: do not switch the default to 'merge' just yet

 The "merge" backend of "git rebase" still has a few bugs and
 unexpected behaviour that need to be ironed out before it becomes
 the default.  Let's switch the default back to the "apply" backend
 for now.
