What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2021, #01; Thu, 2)

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

 



Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree.  Commits
prefixed with '+' are in 'next' (being in 'next' is a sign that a
topic is stable enough to be used and are candidate to be in a
future release).  Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'seen',
which means nothing more than that I have found them of interest for
some reason (like "it may have hard-to-resolve conflicts with
another topic already in flight" or "this may turn out to be
useful").  Do not read too much into a topic being in (or not in)
'seen'.  The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of the
integration branches, but I am still holding onto them.

Copies of the source code to Git live in many repositories, and the
following is a list of the ones I push into or their mirrors.  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/
	https://gitlab.com/git-vcs/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]

* ms/customizable-ident-expansion (2021-09-01) 1 commit
 - keyword expansion: make "$Id$" string configurable

 Instead of "$Id$", user-specified string (like $FreeBSD$) can be
 used as an in-blob placeholder for keyword expansion.

 - test-lib-functions: optionally keep HOME and TERM in 'debug'
 - test-lib-functions: optionally keep HOME, TERM and SHELL in 'test_pause'

* ao/p4-avoid-decoding (2021-04-12) 2 commits
 - git-p4: do not decode data from perforce by default
 - git-p4: avoid decoding more data from perforce

 "git p4" in Python-2 days used to accept a lot more kinds of data
 from Perforce server as uninterrupted byte sequence, but after
 switching to Python-3, too many things are expected to be in UTF-8,
 which broke traditional use cases.

 Waiting for reviews.


* tv/p4-fallback-encoding (2021-04-30) 1 commit
 - git-p4: git-p4.fallbackEncoding to specify non UTF-8 charset

 "git p4" learns the fallbackEncoding configuration variable to
 safely accept changeset descriptions that aren't written in UTF-8.

 "git fsck" has been taught to report mismatch between expected and
 actual types of an object better.

 Needs review.

* mh/send-email-reset-in-reply-to (2021-08-30) 1 commit
 - send-email: avoid incorrect header propagation

 Even when running "git send-email" without its own threaded

 carried over to the subsequent message to result in an unwanted
 threading, which has been corrected.

* pw/rebase-skip-final-fix (2021-08-13) 3 commits

 + rebase --continue: remove .git/MERGE_MSG
 + rebase --apply: restore some tests
 + t3403: fix commit authorship

 Checking out all the paths from HEAD during the last conflicted
 step in "git rebase" and continuing would cause the step to be
 skipped (which is expected), but leaves MERGE_MSG file behind in
 $GIT_DIR and confuses the next "git commit", which has been
 corrected.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* ab/help-autocorrect-prompt (2021-08-14) 1 commit
 - help.c: help.autocorrect=prompt waits for user action

  (merged to 'next' on 2021-09-01 at 6ff491cc09)
 + cherry-pick: use better advice message

 The advice message that "git cherry-pick" gives when it asks
 conflicted replay of a commit to be resolved by the end user has

 upon the same event and control via the configuration variables.

 Expecting a reroll
 but ab/config-based-hooks-base needs to be in a better shape first.

* mk/clone-recurse-submodules (2021-08-30) 1 commit
 - clone: set submodule.recurse=true if submodule.stickyRecursiveClone enabled

 After "git clone --recurse-submodules", all submodules are cloned
 but they are not by default recursed into by other commands.  With
 submodule.stickyRecursiveClone configuration set, submodule.recurse
 configuration is set to true in a repository created by "clone"
 with "--recurse-submodules" option.

 Will merge to 'next'.


* jk/commit-edit-fixup-fix (2021-08-15) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2021-08-24 at 0c625438c3)

 broken in v2.32.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* ka/want-ref-in-namespace (2021-09-01) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2021-09-01 at a1075a92a9)
 + docs: clarify the interaction of transfer.hideRefs and namespaces
 + upload-pack.c: treat want-ref relative to namespace
 + t5730: introduce fetch command helper

 "git upload-pack" which runs on the other side of "git fetch"
 forgot to take the ref namespaces into account when handling
 want-ref requests.

 Will merge to 'master'.

 - Merge branch 'ds/add-with-sparse-index' into ds/sparse-index-ignored-files
 (this branch is used by sg/test-split-index-fix.)

 In cone mode, the sparse-index codepath learned to remove ignored
 files (like build artifacts) outside the sparse cone, allowing the
 entire directory outside the sparse cone to be removed, which is
 especially useful when the sparse patterns change.


* js/advise-when-skipping-cherry-picked (2021-08-30) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2021-09-01 at bc883fce56)
 + sequencer: advise if skipping cherry-picked commit

 "git rebase" by default skips changes that are equivalent to
 commits that are already in the history the branch is rebased onto;
 give messages when this happens to let the users be aware of
 skipped commits, and also teach them how to tell "rebase" to keep
 duplicated changes.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* jt/grep-wo-submodule-odb-as-alternate (2021-08-13) 8 commits
 - t7814: show lack of alternate ODB-adding
 - submodule-config: pass repo upon blob config read
 - grep: add repository to OID grep sources
 - grep: allocate subrepos on heap
 - grep: read submodule entry with explicit repo
 - grep: typesafe versions of grep_source_init
 - grep: use submodule-ODB-as-alternate lazy-addition
 - submodule: lazily add submodule ODBs as alternates

 The code to make "git grep" recurse into submodules has been
 updated to migrate away from the "add submodule's object store as
 an alternate object store" mechanism (which is suboptimal).


* ps/connectivity-optim (2021-08-09) 5 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2021-08-24 at 94a7a04ca4)
 + revision: avoid hitting packfiles when commits are in commit-graph
 + commit-graph: split out function to search commit position
 + revision: stop retrieving reference twice
 + connected: do not sort input revisions
 + revision: separate walk and unsorted flags

 The revision traversal API has been optimized by taking advantage
 of the commit-graph, when available, to determine if a commit is
 reachable from any of the existing refs.

 The built-in merge driver for binary files learned to resolve

* np/blame-ignore-revs-file-may-be-optional (2021-08-09) 1 commit
 - blame: add config `blame.ignoreRevsFileIsOptional`

 When the file named by blame.ignoreRevsFile configuration variable
 does not exist, it causes "git blame" to die.  Sometimes, it is
 useful if the files named by configuration variables can be made
 optional (it would allow ~/.gitconfig to give a filename, and make
 it effective only in repositories that have a file with that name).

 This uses an extra variable that marks that the variable is
 optional.  Yet another alternative is being discussed to define
 syntax for "optional" filename values, so that the same mechanism
 can be used for not just blame.ignoreRevsFile but other filenames.

 Queued just as a reminder of the theme.
