What's cooking in git.git (Jul 2009, #03; Wed, 29)
--------------------------------------------------

Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The ones
marked with '.' do not appear in any of the branches, but I am still
holding onto them.

In preparation for rewinding 'next' after a major release, one topic was
reverted and kicked back to 'pu' to give it a fresh start.

After the 1.6.5 cycle, the next release will be 1.7.0, and we will push
out the planned "push safety" change. 1.7.0 would be a good time to
introduce "justifiable" changes that are not strictly backward compatible.

During 1.6.5 cycle, 'next' will hold topics meant for 1.6.5 and 1.7.0.
I've already merged the "diff --exit-code --ignore-whitespace" change and
"push safety" change.

I'll rewind 'next' sometime this weekend.

----------------------------------------------------------------
[In 'next']

* ne/futz-upload-pack (Wed Jun 10 01:50:18 2009 +0200) 1 commit
+ Shift object enumeration out of upload-pack

* js/run-command-updates (Sat Jul 4 21:26:43 2009 +0200) 6 commits
+ receive-pack: remove unnecessary run_status report
+ run_command: report failure to execute the program, but optionally
don't
+ run_command: encode deadly signal number in the return value
+ run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error
codes
+ run_command: return exit code as positive value
+ MinGW: simplify waitpid() emulation macros

* sb/maint-pull-rebase (Sun Jul 19 09:45:16 2009 +0200) 2 commits
+ pull: support rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebase
+ t5520-pull: Test for rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebase

* jc/1.7.0-diff-whitespace-only-status (Sat May 23 01:15:35 2009 -0700) 2 commits
+ diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK
+ diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace" options

This changes exit code from "git diff --ignore-whitespace" and friends
when there is no actual output. It is a backward incompatible change, but
we could argue that it is a bugfix.

* jc/1.7.0-push-safety (Mon Feb 9 00:19:46 2009 -0800) 2 commits
+ Refuse deleting the current branch via push
+ Refuse updating the current branch in a non-bare repository via
push

This is old 'jc/deny-delete-current-1.7.0' and 'jc/1.7.0-push-safety'
topics redone.

* sb/read-tree (Thu Jun 25 22:14:10 2009 -0700) 2 commits
+ read-tree: migrate to parse-options
+ read-tree: convert unhelpful usage()'s to helpful die()'s

* sb/parse-options (Tue Jul 7 22:15:41 2009 -0700) 4 commits
+ prune-packed: migrate to parse-options
+ verify-pack: migrate to parse-options
+ verify-tag: migrate to parse-options
+ write-tree: migrate to parse-options

Parse-options migration; should be in 'master' soonish.

* mk/grep-max-depth (Wed Jul 22 19:52:15 2009 +0200) 1 commit
+ grep: Add --max-depth option.

* cc/replace (Wed May 27 07:14:09 2009 +0200) 14 commits
+ t6050: check pushing something based on a replaced commit
+ Documentation: add documentation for "git replace"
+ Add git-replace to .gitignore
+ builtin-replace: use "usage_msg_opt" to give better error messages
+ parse-options: add new function "usage_msg_opt"
+ builtin-replace: teach "git replace" to actually replace
+ Add new "git replace" command
+ environment: add global variable to disable replacement
+ mktag: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
+ replace_object: add a test case
+ object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
+ sha1_file: add a "read_sha1_file_repl" function
+ replace_object: add mechanism to replace objects found in
"refs/replace/"
+ refs: add a "for_each_replace_ref" function

Does not seem to hurt normal operation without "replace". The basic idea
should be easier and safer to use than the graft mechanism. I haven't
tried the replacement myself, though.

* ns/init-mkdir (Sat Jul 25 06:59:28 2009 +0900) 1 commit
+ git init: optionally allow a directory argument

Straightforward usability change. Should be in 'master' soonish.

* mk/init-db-parse-options (Sun Jul 12 12:24:32 2009 +0200) 1 commit
+ init-db: migrate to parse-options

* jk/maint-show-tag (Sat Jul 18 06:14:37 2009 -0400) 2 commits
+ show: add space between multiple items
+ show: suppress extra newline when showing annotated tag

* jc/apply-epoch-patch (Fri Jul 10 18:38:08 2009 -0700) 1 commit
+ apply: notice creation/removal patches produced by GNU diff

Better acceptance of some "GNU patch" output to create or remove files.

switching machinery.

With its 6th patch replaced to keep the pathname syntax of the fast-import
language, but without the commits near the tip of the old series.

- Introduce commit notes

jh/vcs-cvs topic needs to be rebuilt, merging this instead of having its
own copy of "fast-import: Add support for importing commit notes".

What's in git.git (Jul 2009, #02; Wed, 29)

maint 0a53e9d (GIT 1.6.4)
master e658002 (Translate the tutorial to Brazillian Portuguese)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I took advices from the list and merged tests that have been parked in
'pu' during the 1.6.4 cycle to 'master'. Even though I did not see much
feedback to the pt_BR translation of the tutorial, I decided to merge it
as well, since I do not read/speak the language.

We have reasonably solid topics that have been cooking in 'next' for quite
some time. Hopefully the 1.6.5 cycle will be short and smooth.

* The 'master' branch has these since the last announcement.

Alex Riesen (1):
Add a reminder test case for a merge with F/D transition

Heiko Voigt (2):
cvsimport: add test illustrating a bug in cvsps
cvsimport: extend testcase about patchset order to contain branches

Junio C Hamano (3):
t/t9600: remove exit after test_done
Start 1.6.5 cycle
request-pull: optionally show a patch as well

Michael Haggerty (5):
Start a library for cvsimport-related tests
Use CVS's -f option if available (ignore user's ~/.cvsrc file)
Test contents of entire cvsimported "master" tree contents
Add some tests of git-cvsimport's handling of vendor branches
Add a test of "git cvsimport"'s handling of tags and branches

Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (1):
Translate the tutorial to Brazillian Portuguese
