What's cooking in git.git (Oct 2024, #03; Fri, 4)

[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', and
aren't considered "accepted" at all and may be annotated with an URL
to a message that raises issues but they are no means exhaustive.  A
topic without enough support may be discarded after a long period of
no activity (of course they can be resubmit when new interests
arise).

Git 2.47-rc1 has been tagged.  From here on, we expect the flow of
new topics to slow down and contributors are encouraged to focus
more on finding and fixing possible regressions relative to Git
2.46, the last feature release.

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-scm/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/

 . archive: remove the_repository global variable

 . git: pass in repo for RUN_SETUP_GENTLY

 Commands that can also work outside Git have learned to take the
 repository instance "repo" when we know we are in a repository, and
 NULL when we are not, in a parameter.  The uses of the_repository
 variable in a few of them have been removed using the new calling
 convention.

 - worktree: repair copied repository and linked worktrees

 The heuristics in "git worktree repair" can be confused when a
 worktree and its repository are copied and break correctly
 configured worktree and repository that point at each other, which
 has been corrected.

 Needs review.

 - packfile: split promisor objects oidset into two

 "git gc" in a partial clone (i.e. lacking objects that can be
 lazily fetched from promisor remotes) collected more than objects
 that promisor-remote can give.

 Needs review.

 with such an error.

* jc/strbuf-commented-something (2024-09-12) 2 commits
 - strbuf: retire strbuf_commented_lines()
 - strbuf: retire strbuf_commented_addf()

 Update two functions whose callers always pass the same global
 variable to omit the redundant parameter and use the global in the
 callee themselves.

 On hold.
 source: <20240912205301.1809355-1-gitster@xxxxxxxxx>


* cc/promisor-remote-capability (2024-09-10) 4 commits
 - promisor-remote: check advertised name or URL
 - Add 'promisor-remote' capability to protocol v2
 - strbuf: refactor strbuf_trim_trailing_ch()
 - version: refactor strbuf_sanitize()

 The v2 protocol learned to allow the server to advertise possible
 promisor remotes, and the client to respond with what promissor
 remotes it uses, so that the server side can omit objects that the
 client can lazily obtain from these other promissor remotes.

* ds/pack-name-hash-tweak (2024-10-04) 6 commits
 - test-tool: add helper for name-hash values
 - p5313: add size comparison test
 - git-repack: update usage to match docs
 - pack-objects: add GIT_TEST_FULL_NAME_HASH
 - repack: test --full-name-hash option
 - pack-objects: add --full-name-hash option

 In a repository with too many (more than --window size) similarly
 named files, "git repack" would not find good delta-base candidate
 and worse, it may not use a blob from exactly the same path as a
 good delta-base candidate.  Optionally replace the name hash so
 that only blobs at the same path and nothing else are used as
 delta-base candidate.

 On hold.

 - ref: enhance escape situation for worktrees
 - ref: add escape check for the referent of symref
 - ref: add basic symref content check for files backend
 - ref: add more strict checks for regular refs
 - ref: port git-fsck(1) regular refs check for files backend
 - builtin/refs: support multiple worktrees check for refs.
 - ref: initialize "fsck_ref_report" with zero

 "git fsck" learned to issue warnings on "curiously formatted" ref
 contents that have always been taken valid but something Git
 wouldn't have written itself (e.g., missing terminating end-of-line
 after the full object name).
