So here is how tonight's "What's cooking" may look like with extra indentation and blank lines. The tools that read this file to help my workflow have been minimally adjusted. I am hoping that the updates to them I made were enough to make the format tweak not to negatively affect me, and so far things are going smoothly, but I may find some corner cases later. Knock wood... -- >8 -- To: git@vger.kernel.org Bcc: l...@lwn.net Subject: What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2012, #05; Thu, 13) X-master-at: ce5cf6ffc6feb9fb4f9a50cdfa2f527fa119c94f X-next-at: dd7cb6d65b94d88f3bfb9efefabd5818614bf587 What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2012, #05; Thu, 13) -------------------------------------------------- Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. ***BLURB*** I'm planning to keep this cycle reasonably short and aim for tagging the result as 1.8.0 at the end of 9th week, on October 21st, after which I'd disappear for a few weeks. http://tinyurl.com/gitCal is where you can always find my rough tagging schedule at. You can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the repositories listed at http://git-blame.blogspot.com/p/git-public-repositories.html -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * jw/doc-commit-title (2012-09-13) 1 commit - Documentation: describe subject more precisely Update parts of document that talked about "first line of commit log" to say "title of commit" with definition of what that "title" is. Will merge to 'next' after eyeballing. * nd/maint-diffstat-summary (2012-09-13) 1 commit - Revert diffstat summary back to English Earlier we made the diffstat summary line that shows the number of lines added/deleted localizable, but it was found irritating having to see them in various languages on a list whose discussion language is English. Breaks many tests which need to be fixed before moving forward. * nd/fetch-status-alignment (2012-09-12) 2 commits - [FIXUP] %.*s width must be int, not size_t - fetch: align per-ref summary report in UTF-8 locales Will merge to 'next' after squashing the fix-up. * mv/cherry-pick-s (2012-09-13) 1 commit . cherry-pick: don't forget -s on failure * jc/maint-log-grep-all-match (2012-09-13) 3 commits - log: document use of multiple commit limiting options - log --grep/--author: honor --all-match honored for multiple --grep patterns - grep: teach --debug option to dump the parse tree Fix a long-standing bug in "git log --grep" when multiple "--grep" are used together with "--all-match" and "--author" or "--committer". -------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * ph/credential-refactor (2012-09-02) 5 commits - wincred: port to generic credential helper - Merge branch 'ef/win32-cred-helper' into ph/credential-refactor - osxkeychain: port to generic credential helper implementation - gnome-keyring: port to generic helper implementation - contrib: add generic credential helper Attempts to refactor to share code among OSX keychain, Gnome keyring and Win32 credential helpers. * jc/maint-name-rev (2012-09-04) 7 commits - describe --contains: use "name-rev --weight" - name-rev --weight: tests and documentation - name-rev --weight: cache the computed weight in notes - name-rev --weight: trivial optimization - name-rev: --weight option - name_rev: clarify the logic to assign a new tip-name to a commit - name-rev: lose unnecessary typedef "git name-rev" names the given revision based on a ref that can be reached in the smallest number of steps from the rev, but that is not useful when the caller wants to know which tag is the oldest one that contains the rev. This teaches a new mode to the command that uses the oldest ref among those which contain the rev. I am not sure if this is worth it; for one thing, even with the help from notes-cache, it seems to make the "describe --contains" even slower. Also the command will be unusably slow for a user who does not have a write access (hence unable to create or update the notes-cache). Needs another round to at least find a better name for the option, and possibly a cheaper but still better than the current "close to the tip" heuristics. * ms/contrib-thunderbird-updates (2012-08-31) 2 commits - [SQUASH] minimum fixup - Thunderbird: fix appp.sh format problems Update helper to send out format-patch output using Thunderbird. Seems to have design regression for silent users. * as/check-ignore (2012-09-02) 10 commits . fixup: decl-after-stmt etc. . Add git-check-ignore . Provide free_directory() for reclaiming dir_struct memory . Extract some useful pathspec handling code from builtin/add.c into a library . For each exclude pattern, store information about where it came from . dir.c: refactor excluded() and path_excluded() . dir.c: refactor excluded_from_list() . dir.c: rename cryptic 'which' variable to more consistent name . Improve documentation and comments regarding directory traversal API . Update directory listing API doc to match code Will be rerolled. * jx/test-real-path (2012-08-27) 1 commit - test: set the realpath of CWD as TRASH_DIRECTORY Running tests with the "trash" directory elsewhere with the "--root" option did not work well if the directory was specified by a symbolic link pointing at it. Seems broken as it makes $(pwd) and TRASH_DIRECTORY inconsistent. Needs rerolling. * jc/maint-push-refs-all (2012-08-27) 2 commits - get_fetch_map(): tighten checks on dest refs - [BROKEN] fetch/push: allow refs/*:refs/* Allows pushing and fetching everything including refs/stash. This is broken (see the log message there). Not ready. * er/doc-fast-import-done (2012-08-22) 1 commit - fast-import: document the --done option Parked in 'pu' in case ESR responds with "Sorry, forgot to sign-off". * jc/add-delete-default (2012-08-13) 1 commit - git add: notice removal of tracked paths by default "git add dir/" updated modified files and added new files, but does not notice removed files, which may be "Huh?" to some users. They can of course use "git add -A dir/", but why should they? Resurrected from graveyard, as I thought it was a worthwhile thing to do in the longer term. Waiting for comments. * tx/relative-in-the-future (2012-08-16) 2 commits - date: show relative dates in the future - date: refactor the relative date logic from presentation Not my itch; rewritten an earlier submission by Tom Xue into somewhat more maintainable form, though it breaks existing i18n. Waiting for a voluteer to fix it up. Otherwise may discard. * tg/index-v5 (2012-08-17) 13 commits . p0002-index.sh: add perf test for the index formats . update-index.c: rewrite index when index-version is given . Write resolve-undo data for index-v5 . Write index-v5 cache-tree data . Write index-v5 . Read cache-tree in index-v5 . Read resolve-undo data . Read index-v5 . Make in-memory format aware of stat_crc . Add documentation of the index-v5 file format . t2104: Don't fail for index versions other than [23] . read-cache.c: Re-read index if index file changed . Move index v2 specific functions to their own file A GSoC project. Was waiting for comments from mentors and stakeholders, but nothing seems to be happening, other than breakage fixes on Cygwin. May discard. * mz/rebase-range (2012-07-18) 7 commits . rebase (without -p): correctly calculate patches to rebase . rebase -p: don't request --left-right only to ignore left side . rebase -p: use --cherry-mark for todo file . git-rebase--interactive.sh: look up subject in add_pick_line . git-rebase--interactive: group all $preserve_merges code . git-rebase--interactive.sh: extract function for adding "pick" line . git-rebase--am.sh: avoid special-casing --keep-empty Expecting a reroll. Performance concerns from Windows folks. Also the series lacks proper sign-offs. * mb/remote-default-nn-origin (2012-07-11) 6 commits - Teach get_default_remote to respect remote.default. - Test that plain "git fetch" uses remote.default when on a detached HEAD. - Teach clone to set remote.default. - Teach "git remote" about remote.default. - Teach remote.c about the remote.default configuration setting. - Rename remote.c's default_remote_name static variables. When the user does not specify what remote to interact with, we often attempt to use 'origin'. This can now be customized via a configuration variable. Expecting a reroll. "The first remote becomes the default" bit is better done as a separate step. * jc/split-blob (2012-04-03) 6 commits - chunked-object: streaming checkout - chunked-object: fallback checkout codepaths - bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding - bulk-checkin: allow the same data to be multiply hashed - new representation types in the packstream - packfile: use varint functions Not ready. I finished the streaming checkout codepath, but as explained in 127b177 (bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding, 2011-11-30), these are still early steps of a long and painful journey. At least pack-objects and fsck need to learn the new encoding for the series to be usable locally, and then index-pack/unpack-objects needs to learn it to be used remotely. Given that I heard a lot of noise that people want large files, and that I was asked by somebody at GitTogether'11 privately for an advice on how to pay developers (not me) to help adding necessary support, I am somewhat dissapointed that the original patch series that was sent long time ago still remains here without much comments and updates from the developer community. I even made the interface to the logic that decides where to split chunks easily replaceable, and I deliberately made the logic in the original patch extremely stupid to entice others, especially the "bup" fanbois, to come up with a better logic, thinking that giving people an easy target to shoot for, they may be encouraged to help out. The plan is not working :-<. -------------------------------------------------- [Cooking] * dg/run-command-child-cleanup (2012-09-11) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2012-09-12 at aa5f9e2) + run-command.c: fix broken list iteration in clear_child_for_cleanup The code to wait for subprocess and remove it from our internal queue wasn't quite right. Will merge to 'master' as part of the seventh batch. * jc/maint-blame-no-such-path (2012-09-11) 2 commits - blame: allow "blame file" in the middle of a conflicted merge - blame $path: avoid getting fooled by case insensitive filesystems "git blame MAKEFILE" run in a history that has "Makefile" but not "MAKEFILE" should say "No such file MAKEFILE in HEAD", but got confused on a case insensitive filesystem and failed to do so. Even during a conflicted merge, "git blame $path" always meant to blame uncommitted changes to the "working tree" version; make it more useful by showing cleanly merged parts as coming from the other branch that is being merged. Will merge to 'next'. * sl/autoconf (2012-09-11) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2012-09-12 at 6ebe199) + build: don't duplicate substitution of make variables + build: improve GIT_CONF_SUBST signature Reduces repetition in configure.ac. Will merge to 'master' as part of the seventh batch. * cn/branch-set-upstream-to (2012-09-11) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2012-09-12 at e162318) + completion: complete branch name for "branch --set-upstream-to=" + completion: add --set-upstream-to and --unset-upstream Finishing touches to the recently graduated topic to introduce "git branch --set-upstream-to" option. Will merge to 'master' as part of the seventh batch. * jc/ll-merge-binary-ours (2012-09-12) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2012-09-12 at 9a7a6b3) + ll-merge: warn about inability to merge binary files only when we can't + attr: "binary" attribute should choose built-in "binary" merge driver + merge: teach -Xours/-Xtheirs to binary ll-merge driver "git merge -Xtheirs" did not help content-level merge of binary files; it should just take their version. Also "*.jpg binary" in the attributes did not imply they should use the binary ll-merge driver. Will merge to 'master' as part of the seventh batch. * jc/mailinfo-RE (2012-09-09) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2012-09-12 at 131edbf) + mailinfo: strip "RE: " prefix We strip the prefix from "Re: subject" and also from a less common "re: subject", but left even less common "RE: subject" intact. Will merge to 'master' as part of the seventh batch. * mh/string-list (2012-09-12) 6 commits - api-string-list.txt: initialize the string_list the easy way - string_list: add a function string_list_longest_prefix() - string_list: add a new function, string_list_remove_duplicates() - string_list: add a new function, filter_string_list() - string_list: add two new functions for splitting strings - string_list: add function string_list_append_nodup() (this branch is used by mh/fetch-filter-refs.) Will merge to 'next'. * pw/p4-submit-conflicts (2012-09-10) 12 commits - git-p4: add submit --conflict option and config varaiable - git p4: add submit --prepare-p4-only option - git p4: add submit --dry-run option - git p4: accept -v for --verbose - git p4: revert deleted files after submit cancel - git p4: rearrange submit template construction - git p4: test clean-up after failed submit, fix added files - git p4: standardize submit cancel due to unchanged template - git p4: move conflict prompt into run, add [q]uit input - git p4: remove submit failure options [a]pply and [w]rite - git p4: gracefully fail if some commits could not be applied - git p4 test: remove bash-ism of combined export/assignment Waiting for comments. * mh/abspath (2012-09-10) 9 commits (merged to 'next' on 2012-09-11 at 5e29b53) + t0060: split absolute path test in two to exercise some of it on Windows + t0060: verify that real_path() removes extra slashes + real_path(): properly handle nonexistent top-level paths + t0060: verify that real_path() works correctly with absolute paths + real_path(): reject the empty string + t0060: verify that real_path() fails if passed the empty string + absolute_path(): reject the empty string + t0060: verify that absolute_path() fails if passed the empty string + t0060: move tests of real_path() from t0000 to here Will merge to 'master' as part of the sixth batch. * nd/i18n-status (2012-09-06) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2012-09-11 at 7cfa224) + status: remove i18n legos Will merge to 'master' as part of the sixth batch. * sn/ls-remote-get-url-doc (2012-09-07) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2012-09-11 at 9d09780) + ls-remote: document the '--get-url' option Will merge to 'master' as part of the sixth batch. * dj/fetch-all-tags (2012-09-07) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2012-09-11 at 083a029) + fetch --all: pass --tags/--no-tags through to each remote "git fetch --all", when passed "--no-tags", did not honor the "--no-tags" option while fetching from individual remotes (the same issue existed with "--tags", but combination "--all --tags" makes much less sense than "--all --no-tags"). Will merge to 'master' as part of the sixth batch. * rj/tap-fix (2012-09-02) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2012-09-11 at 4104358) + test-lib.sh: Suppress the "passed all ..." message if no tests run + test-lib.sh: Add check for invalid use of 'skip_all' facility + test-lib.sh: Fix some shell coding style violations + t4016-*.sh: Skip all tests rather than each test + t3902-*.sh: Skip all tests rather than each test + t3300-*.sh: Fix a TAP parse error Will merge to 'master' as part of the sixth batch. * jc/xprm-generation (2012-09-04) 1 commit - test-generation: compute generation numbers and clock skews * rj/path-cleanup (2012-09-04) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2012-09-11 at 9e8da84) + Call mkpathdup() rather than xstrdup(mkpath(...)) + Call git_pathdup() rather than xstrdup(git_path("...")) + path.c: Use vsnpath() in the implementation of git_path() + path.c: Don't discard the return value of vsnpath() + path.c: Remove the 'git_' prefix from a file scope function Will merge to 'master' as part of the sixth batch. * rs/archive-zip-utf8 (2012-09-04) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2012-09-11 at 3b1f071) + archive-zip: support UTF-8 paths Need help from people on platforms on which Zip matters to see compatiblity with other people's zip implementations. Will merge to 'master' as part of the sixth batch. * nd/checkout-option-parsing-fix (2012-09-11) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2012-09-11 at 3d3ef13) + checkout: reorder option handling + checkout: move more parameters to struct checkout_opts + checkout: pass "struct checkout_opts *" as const pointer The option parsing of "git checkout" had error checking, dwim and defaulting missing options, all mixed in the code, and issuing an appropriate error message with useful context was getting harder. Reorganize the code and allow giving a proper diagnosis when the user says "git checkout -b -t foo bar" (e.g. "-t" is not a good name for a branch). Will merge to 'master' as part of the sixth batch. * mh/fetch-filter-refs (2012-09-12) 14 commits - fetch-pack: eliminate spurious error messages - cmd_fetch_pack(): simplify computation of return value - fetch-pack: report missing refs even if no existing refs were received - cmd_fetch_pack(): return early if finish_connect() fails - filter_refs(): simplify logic - filter_refs(): build refs list as we go - filter_refs(): delete matched refs from sought list - fetch_pack(): update sought->nr to reflect number of unique entries - filter_refs(): do not check the same sought_pos twice - Change fetch_pack() and friends to take string_list arguments - fetch_pack(): reindent function decl and defn - Rename static function fetch_pack() to http_fetch_pack() - t5500: add tests of fetch-pack --all --depth=N $URL $REF - t5500: add tests of error output for missing refs (this branch uses mh/string-list.) Code simplification and clarification. Will merge to 'next'. * jl/submodule-rm (2012-08-27) 1 commit - Teach rm to remove submodules unless they contain a git directory "git rm submodule" cannot blindly remove a submodule directory as its working tree may have local changes, and worse yet, it may even have its repository embedded in it. Teach it some special cases where it is safe to remove a submodule, specifically, when there is no local changes in the submodule working tree, and its repository is not embedded in its working tree but is elsewhere and uses the gitfile mechanism to point at it. Replacement sent but was still iffy around conflicted merge cases. * fa/remote-svn (2012-08-28) 16 commits - Add a test script for remote-svn - remote-svn: add marks-file regeneration - Add a svnrdump-simulator replaying a dump file for testing - remote-svn: add incremental import - remote-svn: Activate import/export-marks for fast-import - Create a note for every imported commit containing svn metadata - vcs-svn: add fast_export_note to create notes - Allow reading svn dumps from files via file:// urls - remote-svn, vcs-svn: Enable fetching to private refs - When debug==1, start fast-import with "--stats" instead of "--quiet" - Add documentation for the 'bidi-import' capability of remote-helpers - Connect fast-import to the remote-helper via pipe, adding 'bidi-import' capability - Add argv_array_detach and argv_array_free_detached - Add svndump_init_fd to allow reading dumps from arbitrary FDs - Add git-remote-testsvn to Makefile and .gitignore - Implement a remote helper for svn in C (this branch is used by fa/vcs-svn.) A GSoC project. Looked promising. Waiting for comments from mentors and stakeholders. * fa/vcs-svn (2012-08-28) 4 commits - vcs-svn: remove repo_tree - vcs-svn/svndump: rewrite handle_node(), begin|end_revision() - vcs-svn/svndump: restructure node_ctx, rev_ctx handling - svndump: move struct definitions to .h (this branch uses fa/remote-svn.) A GSoC project. Looked promising. Waiting for comments from mentors and stakeholders. * jk/no-more-pre-exec-callback (2012-06-05) 1 commit - pager: drop "wait for output to run less" hack (Originally merged to 'next' on 2012-07-23) Will defer until the end of the 2012. while waiting for older "less" to go extinct. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
