What's cooking in git.git (Mar 2015, #04; Wed, 11)
--------------------------------------------------

Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.

A few more batches of topics have been merged to 'master', including
both fixes and enhancements. The second maintenance release for
v2.3 has been cut with many fixes that have already been merged to
'master'.
It is becoming clear that the upcoming release will be a usual
incremental improvements and not an earth shattering one. Let's
decide to name it 2.4, move the top-level RelNotes down to its usual
place in Documentation/RelNotes and make it a symbolic link.

You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

* ak/t5516-typofix (2015-03-03) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-03-03 at c37a677)
+ t5516: correct misspelled pushInsteadOf


* bw/kwset-use-unsigned (2015-03-02) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-03-05 at fd124ba)
+ kwset: use unsigned char to store values with high-bit set

The borrowed code in kwset API did not follow our usual convention
to use "unsigned char" to store values that range from 0-255.


* ja/clean-confirm-i18n (2015-03-02) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-03-03 at 314c322)
+ Add hint interactive cleaning

The prompt string "remove?" used when "git clean -i" asks the user
if a path should be removed was localizable, but the code always
expects a substring of "yes" to tell it to go ahead. Always show
[y/N] as part of this prompt to hint that the answer is not (yet)
localized.


* mg/doc-remote-tags-or-not (2015-03-02) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-03-03 at 1630171)
+ git-remote.txt: describe behavior without --tags and --no-tags

"git remote add" mentioned "--tags" and "--no-tags" and was not
clear that fetch from the remote in the future will use the default
behaviour when neither is given to override it.


* mk/diff-shortstat-dirstat-fix (2015-03-02) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-03-03 at 42c282e)
+ diff --shortstat --dirstat: remove duplicate output

"git diff --shortstat --dirstat=changes" showed a dirstat based on
lines that was never asked by the end user in addition to the
dirstat that the user asked for.
* jk/diffcore-rename-duplicate (2015-02-27) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-03-03 at 1d5a2d2)
+ diffcore-rename: avoid processing duplicate destinations
+ diffcore-rename: split locate_rename_dst into two functions

A corrupt input to "git diff -M" can cause us to segfault.

* mr/doc-clean-f-f (2015-02-26) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-03-03 at 67a77a2)
+ Documentation/git-clean.txt: document that -f may need to be given twice

Documentation update.
* mh/expire-updateref-fixes (2015-03-05) 9 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-03-05 at 1caf9a6)
+ reflog_expire(): never update a reference to null_sha1
+ reflog_expire(): ignore --updateref for symbolic references
+ reflog: improve and update documentation
+ struct ref_lock: delete the force_write member
+ lock_ref_sha1_basic(): do not set force_write for missing references
+ write_ref_sha1(): move write elision test to callers
+ write_ref_sha1(): remove check for lock == NULL
+ Merge branch 'sb/atomic-push' into mh/ref-trans-value-check
+ Merge branch 'mh/reflog-expire' into mh/ref-trans-value-check

Various issues around "reflog expire", e.g. using --updateref when
expiring a reflog for a symbolic reference, have been corrected
and/or made saner.

* ms/submodule-update-config-doc (2015-03-02) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-03-03 at b94da4b)
+ submodule: improve documentation of update subcommand
--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]

The interaction between "git submodule update" and the
submodule.*.update configuration was not clearly documented.
* kn/git-cd-to-empty (2015-03-06) 1 commit
- git: treat "git -C '<path>'" as a no-op when <path> is empty

"git -C '' subcmd" refused to work in the current directory, unlike
"cd ''" which silently behaves as a no-op.

* nd/grep-exclude-standard-help-fix (2015-02-27) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-03-03 at 61c9587)
+ grep: correct help string for --exclude-standard
Will merge to 'next'.

Description given by "grep -h" for its --exclude-standard option
was phrased poorly.

* dj/log-graph-with-no-walk (2015-03-10) 1 commit
- revision: forbid combining --graph and --no-walk

* ye/http-accept-language (2015-02-26) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-03-03 at 58d195e)
+ gettext.c: move get_preferred_languages() from http.c
"git log --graph --no-walk A B..." is a otcnflicting request that
asks nonsense; no-walk tells us show discrete points in the
history, while graph asks to draw connections between these
discrete points. Forbid the combination.

Compilation fix for a recent topic in 'master'.
Will replace with the version that does not special case "git show"
that implies "--no-walk" unless it is given a range.

[New Topics]

* ak/git-done-help-cleanup (2015-03-06) 1 commit
- git: make was_alias and done_help non-static
* km/bsd-shells (2015-03-10) 5 commits
- t5528: do not fail with FreeBSD shell
- help.c: use SHELL_PATH instead of hard-coded "/bin/sh"
- git-compat-util.h: move SHELL_PATH default into header
- git-instaweb: use @SHELL_PATH@ instead of /bin/sh
- git-instaweb: allow running in a working tree subdirectory

Code simplification.
Portability fixes and workarounds for shell scripts have been added
to help BSD-derived systems.

Will merge to 'next'.


* es/rebase-i-count-todo (2015-03-06) 2 commits
- rebase-interactive: re-word "item count" comment
- rebase-interactive: suppress whitespace preceding item count
* km/bsd-sysctl (2015-03-10) 2 commits
- thread-utils.c: detect CPU count on older BSD-like systems
- configure: support HAVE_BSD_SYSCTL option

"git rebase -i" recently started to include the number of
commits in the insn sheet to be processed, but on a platform
that prepends leading whitespaces to "wc -l" output, the numbers
are shown with extra whitespaces that aren't necessary.
We now detect number of CPUs on older BSD-derived systems.

Will merge to 'next'.


* mg/fdopen-with-retry (2015-03-06) 6 commits
- buffer_fdinit(): use fdopen_with_retry()
- update_info_file(): use fdopen_with_retry()
- copy_to_log(): use fdopen_with_retry()
- fdopen_lock_file(): use fdopen_with_retry()
- SQUASH??? $gmane/264889
- xfdopen(): if first attempt fails, free memory and try again

Various parts of the code where they call fdopen() can fail when
they run out of memory; attempt to proceed by retrying the
operation after freeing some resource.

Waiting for further comments.
* km/imap-send-libcurl-options (2015-03-10) 1 commit
- imap-send: use cURL automatically when NO_OPENSSL defined

"git imap-send" learned to optionally talk with an IMAP server via
libcURL; because there is no other option when Git is built with
NO_OPENSSL option, use that codepath by default under such
configuration.

* mg/log-decorate-HEAD (2015-03-06) 1 commit
- log: decorate non-detached HEAD differently

Output from "git log --decorate" mentions HEAD when it points at a
tip of an branch differently from a detached HEAD.
Will merge to 'next'.

We probably want to de-dup the branch name in the output.

Waiting for further comments.
* mg/doc-status-color-slot (2015-03-10) 1 commit
- config,completion: add color.status.unmerged

Documentation fixes.

* rs/daemon-hostname-in-strbuf (2015-03-06) 1 commit
- daemon: use strbuf for hostname info

Code in "git daemon" to parse out and hold hostnames used in
request interpolation has been simplified.
Will merge to 'next'.

Needs updating with a few s/_reset/_release/ ($gmane/264962)

* mg/verify-commit (2015-03-10) 1 commit
- t7510: do not fail when gpg warns about insecure memory

* rs/deflate-init-cleanup (2015-03-05) 1 commit
- zlib: initialize git_zstream in git_deflate_init{,_gzip,_raw}

Code simplification.
Workarounds for certain build of GPG that triggered false breakage
in a test..

Will merge to 'next'.

- archive-zip: mark text files in archives
* rs/use-isxdigit (2015-03-10) 1 commit

"git archive" can now be told to set the 'text' attribute in the
resulting zip archive.
Code cleanup.

Will merge to 'next'.


* sg/completion-remote (2015-03-06) 2 commits
- completion: simplify __git_remotes()
- completion: add a test for __git_remotes() helper function
* sb/leaks (2015-03-10) 3 commits
- builtin/help.c: fix memory leak
- bundle.c: fix memory leak

Code cleanup.
