What's cooking in git.git (Oct 2020, #05; Thu, 29)

[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 'seen' (formerly '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 2.29.2 has been tagged.  About 30+ topics are in 'next' waiting
their turns to graduate to 'master', while a handful more of topics
in 'seen' are marked to graduate to 'next'.  Since it's been a while
since I sent out the "A note from the maintainer" message the last
time, I'll send out one shortly.

Copies of the source code to Git live in many repositories, and the
following is a list of the ones I push into.  Some repositories have
only a subset of branches.

With maint, master, next, seen, todo:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/
	git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git/
	https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git/
	https://github.com/git/git/

With all the integration branches and topics broken out:

	https://github.com/gitster/git/

Even though the preformatted documentation in HTML and man format
are not sources, they are published in these repositories for
convenience (replace "htmldocs" with "manpages" for the manual
pages):

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-htmldocs.git/
	https://github.com/gitster/git-htmldocs.git/

Release tarballs are available at:

[New Topics]

* jk/sideband-more-error-checking (2020-10-29) 1 commit
 - sideband: diagnose more sideband anomalies
 (this branch uses js/avoid-split-sideband-message.)

 The code to detect premature EOF in the sideband demultiplexer has
 been cleaned up.

 Will merge to 'next'.


* js/default-branch-name-adjust-t5411 (2020-10-28) 4 commits
 - t5411: finish preparing for `main` being the default branch name
 - t5411: adjust the remaining support files for init.defaultBranch=main
 - t5411: start adjusting the support files for init.defaultBranch=main

 (this branch uses js/default-branch-name-part-4-minus-1.)

 Prepare a test script to transition of the default branch name to
 'main'.

 Other than a minor nit, overall it looked sensible.

 - core.abbrev <off|false|no> disables abbreviations

 Allow the configuration to specify no abbreviation regardless of
 the hash algorithm.

 Expecting a reroll.  The intent is very good.


* bc/rev-parse-path-format (2020-10-09) 2 commits
 - rev-parse: add option for absolute or relative path formatting
 - abspath: add a function to resolve paths with missing components

 "git rev-parse" can be explicitly told to give output as absolute
 or relative path.


* ar/fetch-transfer-ipversion (2020-09-16) 1 commit
 - config: option transfer.ipversion to set transport protocol version for network fetches

 Adds transfer.ipversion configuration variable.

 Needs more work.


* vv/send-email-with-less-secure-apps-access (2020-08-29) 1 commit

 - git: catch an attempt to run "git-foo"

 The first step to remove on-disk binaries for built-in subcommands
 by soliciting objections.

 On hold for now.


* dr/push-remoteref-fix (2020-04-23) 1 commit
 - remote.c: fix handling of %(push:remoteref)

 The "%(push:remoteref)" placeholder in the "--format=" argument of
 "git format-patch" (and friends) only showed what got explicitly
 configured, not what ref at the receiving end would be updated when
 "git push" was used, as it ignored the default behaviour (e.g. update
 the same ref as the source).

 Discard for now.

* 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".

* cm/t7xxx-cleanup (2020-10-22) 6 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-26 at 8b58e54942)
 + t7102: prepare expected output inside test_expect_* block
 + t7201: put each command on a separate line
 + t7201: use 'git -C' to avoid subshell
 + t7102,t7201: remove whitespace after redirect operator

 + t7101,t7102,t7201: modernize test formatting

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2020-10-23

 Micro clean-up.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* js/avoid-split-sideband-message (2020-10-27) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-27 at 06b2f75522)
 + test-pkt-line: drop colon from sideband identity
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-26 at 1b550f3245)
 + sideband: report unhandled incomplete sideband messages as bugs
 + sideband: avoid reporting incomplete sideband messages
 (this branch is used by jk/sideband-more-error-checking.)

 The side-band status report can be sent at the same time as the
 primary payload multiplexed, but the demultiplexer on the receiving
 end incorrectly split a single status report into two, which has
 been corrected.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* jt/apply-reverse-twice (2020-10-20) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-26 at f060893eb7)
 + apply: when -R, also reverse list of sections

 "git apply -R" did not handle patches that touch the same path
 twice correctly, which has been corrected.  This is most relevant
 in a patch that changes a path from a regular file to a symbolic
 link (and vice versa).

 Will merge to 'master'.


* av/fsmonitor-cleanup (2020-10-21) 2 commits
 - fsmonitor: make output of test-dump-fsmonitor more concise
 - fsmonitor: stop inline'ing mark_fsmonitor_valid / _invalid

 Code clean-up.

 Unneeded?  Perhaps will drop.
 cf. <20201022183822.GA781760@nand.local>


* bc/svn-hash-oid-fix (2020-10-21) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-26 at 743b549d5d)
 + svn: use correct variable name for short OID

 A recent oid->hash conversion missed one spot, breaking "git svn".

 Will merge to 'master'.


* en/sequencer-rollback-lock-cleanup (2020-10-21) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-26 at 1234e8297f)
 + sequencer: remove duplicate rollback_lock_file() call

 Code clean-up.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* jc/sequencer-stopped-sha-simplify (2020-10-21) 1 commit
 - sequencer: tolerate abbreviated stopped-sha file

 Recently the format of an internal state file "rebase -i" uses has
 been tightened up for consistency, which would hurt those who start
 "rebase -i" with old git and then continue with new git.  Loosen
 the reader side a bit (which we may want to tighten again in a year
 or so).

 Is this a real issue, or just a theoretical one?  Perhaps drop?

* jk/perl-warning (2020-10-21) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-28 at 5fcb98f2ff)

 Dev support.

* js/default-branch-name-part-4-minus-1 (2020-10-23) 9 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-26 at 0a66b76c66)
 + t1400: prepare for `main` being default branch name
 + tests: prepare aligned mentions of the default branch name
 + t9902: prepare a test for the upcoming default branch name
 + t3200: prepare for `main` being shorter than `master`
 + t5703: adjust a test case for the upcoming default branch name
 + t6200: adjust suppression pattern to also match "main"
 + tests: start moving to a different default main branch name
 + t9801: use `--` in preparation for default branch rename
 + fmt-merge-msg: also suppress "into main" by default
 (this branch is used by js/default-branch-name-adjust-t5411.)

 Adjust tests so that they won't scream when the default initial
 branch name is changed to 'main'.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* js/t7006-cleanup (2020-10-21) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-26 at b8582f842d)
 + t7006: Use test_path_is_* functions in test script

 Code clean-up.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* pb/ref-filter-with-crlf (2020-10-29) 2 commits
 - log, show: add tests for messages containing CRLF
 - ref-filter: handle CRLF at end-of-line more gracefully

 A commit and tag object may have CR at the end of each and
 every line (you can create such an object with hash-object or
 using --cleanup=verbatim to decline the default clean-up
 action), but it would make it impossible to have a blank line
 to separate the title from the body of the message.  Be lenient
 and accept a line with lone CR on it as a blank line, too.

 Will merge to 'next'.


* ve/userdiff-bash (2020-10-22) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-26 at 2b34be98fe)
 + userdiff: support Bash

 The userdiff pattern learned to identify the function definition in
 POSIX shells and bash.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* ab/git-remote-exit-code (2020-10-27) 1 commit

 callers.

 Will merge to 'next'.


* en/merge-ort-api-null-impl (2020-10-29) 4 commits
 - merge,rebase,revert: select ort or recursive by config or environment

 - merge-ort-wrappers: new convience wrappers to mimic the old merge API
 - merge-ort: barebones API of new merge strategy with empty implementation

 Preparation for a new merge strategy.

 Looking good.


* en/merge-tests (2020-10-26) 9 commits
 - t6423: add more details about direct resolution of directories
 - t6423: note improved ort handling with untracked files
 - t6423, t6436: note improved ort handling with dirty files
 - merge tests: expect slight differences in output for recursive vs. ort
 - t6423: expect improved conflict markers labels in the ort backend
 - t6404, t6423: expect improved rename/delete handling in ort backend
 - t6416: correct expectation for rename/rename(1to2) + directory/file
 - merge tests: expect improved directory/file conflict handling in ort
 - t/: new helper for tests that pass with ort but fail with recursive
 (this branch uses en/dir-rename-tests.)

 Preparation for a new merge strategy.


* jk/committer-date-is-author-date-fix-simplify (2020-10-26) 1 commit
 - am, sequencer: stop parsing our own committer ident

 Code symplification.

 Will merge to 'next'.


* sj/untracked-files-in-submodule-directory-is-not-dirty (2020-10-26) 1 commit
 - diff: do not show submodule with untracked files as "-dirty"

 "git diff" showed a submodule working tree with untracked cruft as
 "Submodule commit <objectname>-dirty", but a natural expectation is
 that the "-dirty" indicator would align with "git describe --dirty",
 which does not consider having untracked files in the working tree
 as source of dirtiness.  The inconsistency has been fixed.

 Needs doc update.


* fc/zsh-completion (2020-10-28) 29 commits

 Add t/perf support for fsmonitor.


* jk/checkout-index-errors (2020-10-27) 2 commits
 - checkout-index: propagate errors to exit code
 - checkout-index: drop error message from empty --stage=all
 (this branch is used by mt/parallel-checkout-part-1.)

 "git checkout-index" did not consistently signal an error with its
 exit status.

 Will merge to 'next'.


* pw/rebase-i-orig-head (2020-10-27) 4 commits
 - rebase -i: simplify get_revision_ranges()
 - rebase -i: use struct object_id when writing state
 - rebase -i: use struct object_id rather than looking up commit
 - rebase -i: stop overwriting ORIG_HEAD buffer

 "git rebase -i" did not

 Expecting an update to the log message, but otherwise the change
 looked sensible.
 cf. <xmqq7drbbcj5.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


* en/strmap (2020-10-13) 10 commits
 - strmap: enable allocations to come from a mem_pool
 - strmap: add a strset sub-type

* en/test-selector (2020-10-18) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-26 at 3d6e77c3ff)
 + test-lib: reduce verbosity of skipped tests
 + t6006, t6012: adjust tests to use 'setup' instead of synonyms
 + test-lib: allow selecting tests by substring/glob with --run

 Our test scripts can be told to run only individual pieces while
 skipping others with the "--run=..." option; they were taught to
 take a substring of test title, in addition to numbers, to name the
 test pices to run.

 + t3435: add tests for rebase -r GPG signing
 + sequencer: pass explicit --no-gpg-sign to merge
 + sequencer: fix gpg option passed to merge subcommand

 "git rebase --rebase-merges" did not correctly pass --gpg-sign
 command line option to underying "git merge" when replaying a merge
 using non-default merge strategy or when replaying an octopus merge
 (because replaying a two-head merge with the default strategy was
 done in a separate codepath, the problem did not trigger for most
 users), which has been corrected.

 + Revert "test_cmp: diagnose incorrect arguments"

 A test helper "test_cmp A B" was taught to diagnose missing files A
 or B as a bug in test, but some tests legitimately wanted to notice
 a failure to even create file B as an error, in addition to leaving
 the expected result in it, and were misdiagnosed as a bug.  This
 has been corrected.

* jk/symlinked-dotgitx-files (2020-10-23) 9 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-26 at c1dd37b024)
 + docs: document symlink restrictions for .git* files
 + fsck: complain when .gitattributes or .gitignore is a symlink
 + verify_path(): disallow symlinks in .gitattributes and .gitignore
 + t0060: test obscured .gitattributes and .gitignore matching
 + t7450: test .gitmodules symlink matching against obscured names
 + t7450: test verify_path() handling of gitmodules
 + t7415: rename to expand scope
 + fsck_tree(): wrap some long lines
 + fsck_tree(): fix shadowed variable

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2020-10-23

 "git fsck" and the corresponding check done during the transport
 learned to ensure that in-tree files like `.gitignore` and
 `.gitattributes` are not symbolic links.

 It seems that there are real projects with .gitignore recorded as
 symlinks, which may need to loosen the fsck setting.  Do we need
 to introduce a class that is separate from symlinked .gitmodules
 that probably is with potential consequences that is more grave?

  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-26 at 7e94297aa4)
 + contrib/git-resurrect.sh: use hash-agnostic OID pattern
 + contrib/git-resurrect.sh: indent with tabs

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2020-10-23

 "git resurrect" script (in contrib/) learned that the object names
 may be longer than 40-hex depending on the hash function in use.

* ds/commit-graph-merging-fix (2020-10-09) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-10-26 at a0cf763826)
 + commit-graph: don't write commit-graph when disabled
 + commit-graph: ignore duplicates when merging layers

 When "git commit-graph" detects the same commit recorded more than
 once while it is merging the layers, it used to die.  The code now
 ignores all but one of them and continues.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* ds/maintenance-commit-graph-auto-fix (2020-10-12) 2 commits

 + maintenance: test commit-graph auto condition

 Test-coverage enhancement of running commit-graph task "git
 maintenance" as needed led to discovery and fix of a bug.

 Will merge to 'master'.

* ak/corrected-commit-date (2020-10-08) 10 commits
 - doc: add corrected commit date info
 - commit-reach: use corrected commit dates in paint_down_to_common()
 - commit-graph: use generation v2 only if entire chain does
 - commit-graph: implement generation data chunk
 - commit-graph: implement corrected commit date
 - commit-graph: add a slab to store topological levels
 - commit-graph: return 64-bit generation number
 - commit-graph: consolidate fill_commit_graph_info
 - revision: parse parent in indegree_walk_step()
 - commit-graph: fix regression when computing Bloom filters

 The commit-graph learned to use corrected commit dates instead of
 the generation number to help topological revision traversal.

 Almost there.
