What's cooking in git/spearce.git (Oct 2008, #02; Sun, 12) -------------------------------------------------- Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names. gitster's back and I'm expecting he will take over from here. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * dp/checkattr (Tue Oct 7 04:16:52 2008 +0400) 2 commits + check-attr: Add --stdin option + check-attr: add an internal check_attr() function Batch attr lookup via --stdin, for gitk and git-gui. * mv/clonev (Thu Oct 9 01:40:32 2008 +0200) 1 commit + Implement git clone -v Does what it says it does. This may be ready for master soon, its a pretty trivial change. * gb/refactor-pathinfo (Fri Oct 10 20:42:26 2008 +0200) 1 commit + gitweb: refactor input parameters parse/validation A major cleanup on the way gitweb parses its input arguments. Future gitweb patches to add more arguments into the PATH_INFO depend upon this initial cleanup work. * ml/cygwin-filemode (Sun Oct 12 14:44:46 2008 -0400) 1 commit - compat/cygwin.c - Use cygwin's stat if core.filemode == true I think another version may be coming to reuse the core.filemode parsing so this patch isn't in next yet. * sh/rebase-i-p (Wed Oct 8 01:41:57 2008 -0500) 7 commits - rebase-i-p: if todo was reordered use HEAD as the rewritten parent - rebase-i-p: do not include non-first-parent commits touching UPSTREAM - rebase-i-p: only list commits that require rewriting in todo - rebase-i-p: fix 'no squashing merges' tripping up non-merges - rebase-i-p: delay saving current-commit to REWRITTEN if squashing - rebase-i-p: use HEAD for updating the ref instead of mapping OLDHEAD - rebase-i-p: test to exclude commits from todo based on its parents Changes the `rebase -i -p` behavior to behave like git sequencer's rewrite of `rebase -i` would behave. Its parked in pu because I have not had the time to review the series in detail. First glance looked OK to me. * js/keephardlinks (Sat Oct 11 13:45:13 2008 +0200) 1 commit - Introduce core.keepHardLinks The value of this change is currently in question, and the commit message doesn't justify it very well. * jn/gitweb-customlinks (Sun Oct 12 00:02:32 2008 +0200) 1 commit - gitweb: Better processing format string in custom links in navbar Waiting for some sort of response from Pasky. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to "master"] * mw/sendemail (Sun Sep 28 07:51:21 2008 +0300) 10 commits + bash completion: Add --[no-]validate to "git send-email" + send-email: signedoffcc -> signedoffbycc, but handle both + Docs: send-email: Create logical groupings for man text + Docs: send-email: Create logical groupings for --help text + Docs: send-email: Remove unnecessary config variable description + Docs: send-email: --chain_reply_to -> --[no-]chain-reply-to + send-email: change --no-validate to boolean --[no-]validate + Docs: send-email: Man page option ordering + Docs: send-email usage text much sexier + Docs: send-email's usage text and man page mention same options * jc/add-ita (Thu Aug 21 01:44:53 2008 -0700) 1 commit + git-add --intent-to-add (-N) * mg/verboseprune (Mon Sep 29 18:49:52 2008 +0200) 1 commit + make prune report removed objects on -v * lt/time-reject-fractional-seconds (Sat Aug 16 21:25:40 2008 -0700) 1 commit + date/time: do not get confused by fractional seconds * dp/cywginstat (Tue Sep 30 17:53:47 2008 +0400) 3 commits + cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat + mingw: move common functionality to win32.h + add have_git_dir() function Performance improvement for Cygwin, bypassing the Cygwin stat function and using one more like MinGW uses. Probably ready for master on the next round. Several Cygwin users have given praise to the series. * js/objc-funchdr (Wed Oct 1 00:46:34 2008 +0100) 1 commit + Teach git diff about Objective-C syntax Adds support for Objective-C function headers. * dm/svn-branch (Sat Oct 4 19:35:17 2008 -0700) 1 commit + Add git-svn branch to allow branch creation in SVN repositories Adds "git svn branch" to build branches remotely in SVN. * pb/gitweb (Fri Oct 3 07:41:25 2008 -0700) 7 commits + Merge branch 'pb/gitweb-tagcloud' into pb/gitweb + gitweb: Support for simple project search form + gitweb: Make the by_tag filter delve in forks as well + gitweb: Support for tag clouds + gitweb: Add support for extending the action bar with custom links + gitweb: Sort the list of forks on the summary page by age + gitweb: Clean-up sorting of project list * ph/parseopt (Thu Oct 2 14:59:20 2008 +0200) 3 commits + parse-opt: migrate builtin-merge-file. + parse-opt: migrate git-merge-base. + parse-opt: migrate fmt-merge-msg. * rz/grepz (Wed Oct 1 18:11:15 2008 +0200) 1 commit + git grep: Add "-z/--null" option as in GNU's grep. * mv/merge-refresh (Fri Oct 3 15:02:31 2008 +0200) 1 commit + builtin-merge: refresh the index before calling a strategy * bc/xdiffnl (Wed Oct 1 14:28:26 2008 -0500) 1 commit + xdiff-interface.c: strip newline (and cr) from line before pattern matching * jk/maint-soliconv (Fri Oct 3 02:39:36 2008 -0400) 1 commit + Makefile: do not set NEEDS_LIBICONV for Solaris 8 * sg/maint-intrebase-msghook (Fri Oct 3 11:33:20 2008 +0200) 2 commits + rebase -i: remove leftover debugging + rebase -i: proper prepare-commit-msg hook argument when squashing * bc/maint-stashref (Thu Oct 2 18:52:11 2008 -0500) 1 commit + git-stash.sh: fix flawed fix of invalid ref handling (commit da65e7c1) The latter three were merged to 'maint' first. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Old New Topics] * ns/rebase-noverify (Mon Oct 6 14:14:29 2008 +0900) 1 commit + rebase --no-verify This adds --no-verify to git rebase, to avoid the pre-rebase hook. Lacks documentation but otherwise looks sound. * mv/merge-noff (Fri Oct 3 14:04:47 2008 +0200) 1 commit + builtin-commit: use reduce_heads() only when appropriate Fixes "git merge --no-ff --no-commit". * ae/preservemerge (Mon Sep 29 22:28:57 2008 +0200) 1 commit + rebase: Support preserving merges in non-interactive mode * sh/maint-rebase3 (Sun Oct 5 23:26:52 2008 -0500) 1 commit - rebase--interactive: fix parent rewriting for dropped commits A prior version of sh/rebase-i-p. This should be dropped. * pb/rename-rowin32 (Fri Oct 3 12:20:43 2008 +0200) 1 commit - Do not rename read-only files during a push Supposedly fixes pack file renames on Windows, but it makes the test suite fail on Linux. I haven't debugged why yet. Its very likely we need a replacement patch before this can move forward. * sp/describe-lwtag (Tue Sep 30 12:03:41 2008 -0700) 1 commit - describe: Make --tags and --all match lightweight tags more often Based on feedback from the list this needs another spin. I will post a replacement patch soon. * gb/formatpatch-autonbr (Thu Oct 2 16:55:39 2008 -0400) 1 commit - format-patch: autonumber by default Fails the test suite; some of the test vectors need to be updated to account for the new default. Someone who cares about this change should follow through on the test suite update, or this may get dropped. * jc/merge-whitespace (Sun Feb 24 23:29:36 2008 -0800) 1 commit . WIP: start teaching the --whitespace=fix to merge machinery This has a merge conflict with `next` and isn't even in pu right now. * jk/diff-convfilter (Sun Oct 5 17:43:45 2008 -0400) 4 commits - diff: add filter for converting binary to text - diff: introduce diff.<driver>.binary - diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code - t4012: use test_cmp instead of cmp A general cleanup on how diff drivers are implemented. Its still missing documentation updates and tests but doesn't break anything current as far as I can tell. It needs more review before it can be slated for 'next'. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Stuck Topics] * nd/narrow (Wed Oct 1 11:04:09 2008 +0700) 9 commits - grep: skip files outside sparse checkout area - checkout_entry(): CE_NO_CHECKOUT on checked out entries. - Prevent diff machinery from examining worktree outside sparse checkout - ls-files: Add tests for --sparse and friends - update-index: add --checkout/--no-checkout to update CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit - update-index: refactor mark_valid() in preparation for new options - ls-files: add options to support sparse checkout - Introduce CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit - Extend index to save more flags Recently updated with a repost. I've been too swamped at day-job to actively review the series. There has been some discussion on list about it so its not stalled, but it needs more eyeballs. * gb/gitweb-pathinfo (Thu Oct 2 02:10:34 2008 +0200) 6 commits . gitweb: generate parent..current URLs . gitweb: parse parent..current syntax from pathinfo . gitweb: use_pathinfo filenames start with / . gitweb: generate project/action/hash URLs . gitweb: refactor input parameters parse/validation . gitweb: parse project/action/hash_base:filename PATH_INFO Still going through revisions on the git ML. Its great work and is heading in the right direction. But the discussion and patch generation rate is too high to merge the topic into next just yet. So its waiting for a re-roll of the series once discussion settles down and there is a final patch series available. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Stalled -- Needs Action to Proceed (or to be dropped)] * pb/submodule (Fri Sep 12 23:09:19 2008 +0200) 1 commit - t7400: Add short "git submodule add" testsuite Still waiting for a reroll. Should be dropped next week if we don't get one during this coming week. * bd/blame (Thu Aug 21 18:22:01 2008 -0500) 5 commits - Use xdiff caching to improve git blame performance - Allow xdiff machinery to cache hash results for a file - Always initialize xpparam_t to 0 - Bypass textual patch generation and parsing in git blame - Allow alternate "low-level" emit function from xdl_diff (jc: Réne had good comments on how the callback should be structured.) * kb/am-directory (Fri Aug 29 15:27:50 2008 -0700) 1 commit - git-am: Pass the --directory option through to git-apply (jc: I think this is still buggy and drops the option when am stops with conflicts.) ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Will be merged to 'master/maint' soon] * pb/commit-where (Fri Oct 3 22:13:49 2008 -0400) 4 commits + tutorial: update output of git commit + reformat informational commit message + git commit: Reformat output somewhat + builtin-commit.c: show on which branch a commit was added I think this topic is settled for now. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Actively Cooking] * tr/workflow-doc (Sat Sep 13 18:11:01 2008 +0200) 2 commits + Documentation: Refer to git-rebase(1) to warn against rewriting + Documentation: new upstream rebase recovery section in git-rebase (jc: My impression from the last round of discusson on the third patch in this series (not queued here) was that as long as we do not present it as "One True Workflow", the description was a good starting point, possibly others to add other recommended flows later.) An update came in recently, but I haven't applied it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [On Hold] * jc/post-simplify (Fri Aug 15 01:34:51 2008 -0700) 2 commits - revision --simplify-merges: incremental simplification - revision --simplify-merges: prepare for incremental simplification (jc: I started making this incremental but the progress is not so great.) * jc/stripspace (Sun Mar 9 00:30:35 2008 -0800) 6 commits . git-am --forge: add Signed-off-by: line for the author . git-am: clean-up Signed-off-by: lines . stripspace: add --log-clean option to clean up signed-off-by: lines . stripspace: use parse_options() . Add "git am -s" test . git-am: refactor code to add signed-off-by line for the committer (jc: The one at second from the tip needs reworking.) * jc/send-pack-tell-me-more (Thu Mar 20 00:44:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit - "git push": tellme-more protocol extension This is a great idea, but IIRC its implementation has a deadlock during communication between the peers. Someone needs to pick up this topic and resolve the deadlock before it can continue. * jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits - blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental format - git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output * jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly asked for (jc: This would be the right thing to do for command line use, but gitk will be hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding this back for now.) -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
