What's cooking in git.git (Apr 2010, #01; Fri, 02)
--------------------------------------------------

Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
@ -11,42 +11,123 @@ only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The ones
marked with '.' do not appear in any of the integration branches, but I am
still holding onto them.

As it has been about 6 weeks since the previous feature release, I'd want
to start making noises about feature freeze for 1.7.1 in a few days. I
expect that the changes still under discussion will be ready by the time
the post 1.7.1 cycle begins, and we will hopefully have a cycle for 1.7.2
that is shorter than usual to include them.
Topics not in 'next' will have to wait until post 1.7.1 cycle. I expect
that the changes still under discussion will be ready by the time the post
1.7.1 cycle begins, and we will hopefully have a cycle for 1.7.2 that is
shorter than usual to include them.

+ revert: fix tiny memory leak in cherry-pick --ff
+ rebase -i: use new --ff cherry-pick option

[New Topics]

* da/maint-python-startup (2010-03-27) 1 commit
- Makefile: Remove usage of deprecated Python "has_key" method
* cw/ws-indent-with-tab (2010-04-01) 2 commits
- whitespace: we cannot "catch all errors known to git" anymore
- Add tab-in-indent whitespace error class

Another thing that this fixes is not described in the log message.
Not quite ready until "apply --whitespace=fix" gets a matching change.

* jc/conflict-marker-size (2010-03-24) 1 commit
- diff --check: honor conflict-marker-size attribute
* ic/bash-completion-rpm (2010-03-26) 1 commit
- RPM spec: include bash completion support

* ld/discovery-limit-to-fs (2010-03-17) 3 commits
- Add support for GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM
- truncate cwd string before printing error message
- config.c: remove static keyword from git_env_bool()
This is needed in 'master' by -rc1 at the latest. Soon in 'next'.

* sb/fmt-merge-msg (2010-03-24) 7 commits
- fmt-merge-msg: hide summary option
- fmt-merge-msg: remove custom string_list implementation
- string-list: add unsorted_string_list_lookup()
- fmt-merge-msg: use pretty.c routines
- t6200: test fmt-merge-msg more
- t6200: modernize with test_tick
- fmt-merge-msg: be quiet if nothing to merge
* js/grep-open (2010-03-26) 2 commits
- grep -O: allow optional argument specifying the pager (or editor)
- grep: Add the option '--open-files-in-pager'

* pc/remove-warn (2010-03-26) 4 commits
. Remove a redundant errno test in a usage of remove_path
. Introduce remove_or_warn function
. Implement the rmdir_or_warn function
. Generalise the unlink_or_warn function
Probably needs to support --no-index mode as well.

* mg/notes-reflog (2010-03-29) 2 commits
- refs.c: Write reflogs for notes just like for branch heads
- t3301-notes: Test the creation of reflog entries

Implementation is trivially correct; I am unsure if "notes" tree wants
reflog in the first place, though. Please convince me and I'll move it
to 'next' soon, aiming for -rc0 or -rc1 at the latest.

* rr/remote-helper-doc (2010-03-28) 2 commits
- Documentation/remote-helpers: Fix some typos
- Documentation/remote-helpers: Rewrite description

Although I lost track of this series with too rapid succession of
updates, intermixed with some documentation updates in the related
areas, my impression is that area experts haven't Acked them yet.

* sr/remote-helper-export (2010-03-29) 7 commits
- remote-helpers: add tests for testgit helper
- remote-helpers: add testgit helper
- remote-helpers: add support for an export command
- remote-helpers: allow requesing the path to the .git directory
- fast-import: always create marks_file directories
- clone: also configure url for bare clones
- clone: pass the remote name to remote_get

May merge to 'next', but I would prefer waiting til 1.7.2 to have
this with a confidence than fast-tracking it.

* cc/revert-strategy (2010-03-31) 5 commits
- revert: add "--strategy" option to choose merge strategy
- merge: make function try_merge_command non static
- merge: refactor code that calls "git merge-STRATEGY"
- revert: refactor merge recursive code into its own function
- revert: use strbuf to refactor the code that writes the merge message
(this branch uses jn/merge-diff3-label.)

May merge to 'next' soon, but this is more about debugging and we are not
in a great hurry.

* mr/gitweb-jsmin (2010-04-01) 6 commits
- gitweb: update INSTALL to use shorter make target
- gitweb: add documentation to INSTALL regarding gitweb.js
- instaweb: add minification awareness
- Gitweb: add autoconfigure support for minifiers
- Gitweb: add support for minifying gitweb.css
- Gitweb: add ignore and clean rules for minified files

Soon in 'next' when minor rewording replacement patches come; otherwise
felt solid.

* sc/http-late-auth (2010-04-01) 1 commit
- Prompt for a username when an HTTP request 401s

May merge to 'next', but I would prefer waiting til 1.7.2 to have
this with a confidence than fast-tracking it.

* hg/convert (2010-03-29) 5 commits
. convert: Added core.refilteronadd feature.
. convert: Inhibit contraction of foreign $Id$ during stats.
. convert: Use the enum constant SAFE_CRLF_FALSE.

- textconv: refactor calls to run_textconv
- introduce notes-cache interface
- make commit_tree a library function
- fix textconv leak in emit_rewrite_diff
- fix const-correctness of write_sha1_file

May merge to 'next', but I would prefer waiting til 1.7.2 to have
this with a confidence than fast-tracking it.

* np/malloc-threading (2010-03-24) 1 commit
- Make xmalloc and xrealloc thread-safe

Still has locking issues?

* bw/git-completion-rpmspec (2010-03-20) 1 commit
- Add a git-completion rpm subpackage to the spec
* js/async-thread (2010-03-09) 7 commits
- Enable threaded async procedures whenever pthreads is available
(merged to 'next' on 2010-03-20 at 9939243)
+ Dying in an async procedure should only exit the thread, not the process.
+ Reimplement async procedures using pthreads
+ Windows: more pthreads functions
+ Fix signature of fcntl() compatibility dummy
+ Make report() from usage.c public as vreportf() and use it.
+ Modernize t5530-upload-pack-error.

Shipping bash-completion as part of RPM package; since Todd Zullinger who
packages git for Fedora joined the thread, I am hoping that I can defer
the direction of the final version to the discussion between Todd and Ben.
Waiting for resolution of locking issues in malloc-threading.

- Add support for GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM
- truncate cwd string before printing error message
- config.c: remove static keyword from git_env_bool()

Linus made a good point of making this a default, and Erick Mattos
confirmed that it won't be a problem even on Windows.

Will move to 'next' after such a "default on" change, keep it there until
1.7.1 ships, warn about it in the release notes as an upcoming backward
incompatibility, and then move to 'master' after 1.7.1.

- git checkout: create unparented branch by --orphan
(merged to 'next' on 2010-03-28 at 86b6a4f)
+ git checkout: create unparented branch by --orphan

Looked reasonable, except that we might want to come up with a way to
allow people with core.logallrefupdates set to false to still override it
with "-l" when switching to this new branch. Or we may not care. I dunno.

Soon in 'next'.
Perhaps needs a bit of documentation updates, describing the "going open
source" scenario.
