What to expect after 0.99.5

===========================
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
This is written in a form of to-do list for me, so if I say
|
||
|
|
"accept patch", it means I do not currently plan to do that
|
||
|
|
myself. People interested in seeing it materialize please take
|
||
|
|
a hint.

Documentation
|
||
|
|
-------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Accept patches from people who actually have done CVS
|
||
|
|
migration and update the cvs-migration documentation.
|
||
|
|
Link the documentation from the main git.txt page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Update the SubmittingPatches document to add MUA specific
|
||
|
|
hints on how to disable unwanted MIME and flowed-text by
|
||
|
|
collecting past list postings. Accept patches from people who
|
||
|
|
was hit by shiny blue bat to update the same.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Talk about using rsync just once at the beginning when
|
||
|
|
initializing a remote repository so that local packs do not
|
||
|
|
need to be expanded. I personally do not think we need tool
|
||
|
|
support for this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Update tutorial to cover shared repository style a bit more,
|
||
|
|
maybe with a toy project that involves two or three
|
||
|
|
repositories.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Update tutorial to cover setting up repository hooks to do
|
||
|
|
common tasks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Get help to properly use asciidoc in tutorial.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Maybe justify and demonstrate an Octopus in the tutorial. Add
|
||
|
|
it to the glossary.

|
||
|
|
-------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Tony Luck reported an unfortunate glitch in the 3-way merge.
|
||
|
|
Encourage discussions to come up with a not-so-expensive way
|
||
|
|
to catch the kind of ambiguities that led to his misery.

Technical (milder)
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* When the branch head pointed by $GIT_DIR/HEAD changes while
|
||
|
|
the index file and working tree are looking the other way
|
||
|
|
(e.g. somebody pushed into your repository, or you ran "git
|
||
|
|
fetch" to update the ref your working tree is on), "git
|
||
|
|
checkout" without -f gets confused. Figure out a good way to
|
||
|
|
handle this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git commit -m" should work for initial commits and perhaps
|
||
|
|
merge commits as well. Warning about merge is still a good
|
||
|
|
thing to do, while -m is useful in scripted non-interactive
|
||
|
|
use, so we need to be careful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Encourage concrete proposals to commit log message templates
|
||
|
|
we discussed some time ago.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Bug Ryan and work with him to update send-email easier to use.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Look at portability fixes from Jason Riedy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~ejr/gits/git.git#portable
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Accept patches to cause "read-tree -u" delete a directory when
|
||
|
|
it makes it empty.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Perhaps accept patches to introduce the concept of "patch flow
|
||
|
|
expressed as ref mappings" Josef has been advocating about.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* MIMEified applymbox to grok B and Q encodings in headers and
|
||
|
|
turn them into UTF-8; unwrap QP; explode multipart.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git cherry-pick" that applies the patch an existing commit
|
||
|
|
introduces in its ancestry chain, possibly using the 3-way
|
||
|
|
merge machinery; update rebase using the cherry-pick command.
|
||
|
|
Carl's redo/undo might fall out naturally from this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A tool to detect, show and prune already merged topic
|
||
|
|
branches.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Perhaps "git branch -d" to delete a branch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Enhance "git repack" to not always use --all; this would be
|
||
|
|
handy if the repository contains wagging heads like "pu" in
|
||
|
|
git.git repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Remove "git clone-dumb-http".
