What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2013, #05; Fri, 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'.

So far, about 60 topics, most of which have been cooking since the
previous cycle, have been graduated to the 'master' branch in
preparation for the next release, which tentatively is called 1.8.2.
Many of these early topics are bugfixes and expected to later land
in the 'maint' branch for 1.8.1.1 release as well.

As usual, this cycle is expected to last for 8 to 10 weeks, with a
preview -rc0 sometime in the middle of next month.

* nz/send-email-headers-are-case-insensitive (2013-01-06) 1 commit
- git-send-email: treat field names as case-insensitively

When user spells "cc:" in lowercase in the fake "header" in the
trailer part, send-email failed to pick up the addresses from
there. As e-mail headers field names are case insensitive, this
script should follow suit and treat "cc:" and "Cc:" the same way.

Will merge to 'next'.

(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at 6790566)
+ merge: Honor prepare-commit-msg return code

Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-04

"git merge" started calling prepare-commit-msg hook like "git
commit" does some time ago, but forgot to pay attention to the exit
status of the hook. t7505 may want a general clean-up but that is
a different topic.

implementation.


* aw/rebase-am-failure-detection (2012-10-11) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at 9e2ee43)
+ rebase: Handle cases where format-patch fails

Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-02

A few short-and-bland aliases used in the tests were interfering
with git-custom command in user's $PATH.
Save output from format-patch command in a temporary file, just in
case it aborts, to give a better failure-case behaviour.


* cc/no-gitk-build-dependency (2012-12-18) 3 commits
+ Makefile: replace "echo 1>..." with "echo >..."
+ Makefile: detect when PYTHON_PATH changes
+ Makefile: remove tracking of TCLTK_PATH

Remove leftover bits from an earlier change to move gitk in its own
subdirectory. Reimplementing the dependency tracking rules needs
to be done in gitk history separately.
* jc/comment-cygwin-win32api-in-makefile (2013-01-06) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-08 at dea04e8)

+ merge --no-edit: do not credit people involved in the side branch

Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-02

Some python scripts we ship cannot be run with old versions of the
interpreter.
Stop spending cycles to compute information to be placed on
commented lines in "merge --no-edit".


* er/stop-recommending-parsecvs (2012-12-28) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at 689f28f)
+ Remove the suggestion to use parsecvs, which is currently broken.
* jk/config-uname (2013-01-03) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-08 at f986500)
+ Makefile: hoist uname autodetection to config.mak.uname

Move the bits to set fallback default based on the platform from
the main Makefile to a separate file, so that it can be included in
Makefiles in subdirectories.


* jl/interrupt-clone-remove-separate-git-dir (2013-01-05) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-08 at 568f874)
+ clone: support atomic operation with --separate-git-dir

When "git clone --separate-git-dir" is interrupted, we failed to
remove the real location we created the repository.


* mz/pick-unborn (2012-12-23) 2 commits

+ learn to pick/revert into unborn branch
+ tests: move test_cmp_rev to test-lib-functions

Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-02

Stop recommending a defunct third-party software.
Allows "git cherry-pick $commit" when you do not have any history
behind HEAD yet.


* fc/remote-bzr (2013-01-02) 9 commits

(this branch is used by nd/retire-fnmatch.)

Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-01

Allows pathname patterns in .gitignore and .gitattributes files
with double-asterisks "foo/**/bar" to match any number of directory
hierarchies.


* rs/leave-base-name-in-name-field-of-tar (2013-01-05) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-08 at 98f325e)
+ archive-tar: split long paths more carefully

Improve compatibility with implementations of "tar" that do not
like empty name field in header (with the additional prefix field
holding everything).


* tb/test-shell-lint (2013-01-02) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at 0bca54a)
+ test: Add check-non-portable-shell.pl

Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-04

New remote helper for bzr, with minimum fix squashed in.
Check for common mistakes in the test scripts, based on simple
pattern-matching.

Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-04
Add a configuration variable to set default clean-up mode other
than "strip".

Streamline the document and update with a few e-mail addresses the
patches should be sent to.
Will merge to 'next'.


* jk/enable-test-lint-by-default (2013-01-03) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at 2a77155)

* jc/custom-comment-char (2013-01-10) 1 commit
- Allow custom "comment char"

Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-04

We had two simple and quick tests to catch common mistakes when
writing test scripts, but they weren't run by default when running
tests.
An illustration to show codepaths that need to be touched to change
the hint lines in the edited text to begin with something other
than '#'.

The "logical order" reorganization can come after that is done and
can cook longer in 'next'.
Will merge to 'next'.

Finishing touches to unbreak a test on Windows.
Various 'reset' optimizations and clean-ups, followed by a change
to allow "git reset" to work even on an unborn branch.


* jn/less-reconfigure (2013-01-02) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at 04c11cb)
+ build: do not automatically reconfigure unless configure.ac changed
* pe/doc-email-env-is-trumped-by-config (2013-01-10) 1 commit
- git-commit-tree(1): correct description of defaults

Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-02
In the precedence order, the environment variable $EMAIL comes
between the built-in default (i.e. taking value by asking the
system's gethostname() etc.) and the user.email configuration
variable; the documentation implied that it is stronger than the
configuration like $GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL is, which is wrong.

When autoconf is used, any build on a different commit always ran
"config.status --recheck" even when unnecessary.
Will merge to 'next'.


* jn/warn-on-inaccessible-loosen (2012-10-14) 4 commits
+ config: exit on error accessing any config file
+ doc: advertise GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM
+ config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors
+ config, gitignore: failure to access with ENOTDIR is ok
* ds/completion-silence-in-tree-path-probe (2013-01-11) 1 commit
- git-completion.bash: silence "not a valid object" errors

Deal with a situation where .config/git is a file and we notice
.config/git/config is not readable due to ENOTDIR, not ENOENT.
An internal ls-tree call made by completion code only to probe if
a path exists in the tree recorded in a commit object leaked error
messages when the path is not there. It is not an error at all and
should not be shown to the end user.

Will merge to 'next'.

* er/replace-cvsimport (2013-01-11) 4 commits
- t9604: fixup for new cvsimport
- t9600: fixup for new cvsimport
- t/lib-cvs.sh: allow cvsps version 3.x.
- cvsimport: rewrite to use cvsps 3.x to fix major bugs

Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-04
Rewrite of cvsimport to talk with cvsps 3.x; this negatively
affects existing users of cvsimport that only have cvsps 2.x and
use -o, -M and -m options (they cannot use the old cvsimport with
old cvsps 2.x in the fall-back mode, even though these options are
supported by the old one), but it is not known how common they are.

Update an example in the "git bundle" documentation.
For people who work with complex CVS histories that needs cvsps 3.x
to import correctly, this version should be a definite improvement,
so I would love to see small wrinkles in the new implementation
straightened out. Help from people with Python experience would be
appreciated in reviewing and patching.


* mz/oneway-merge-wo-u-no-lstat (2012-12-20) 1 commit
+ oneway_merge(): only lstat() when told to update worktree
* nd/fetch-depth-is-broken (2013-01-11) 3 commits
- fetch: elaborate --depth action
- upload-pack: fix off-by-one depth calculation in shallow clone
- fetch: add --unshallow for turning shallow repo into complete one

Optimize "read-tree -m <tree-ish>" without "-u".
"git fetch --depth" was broken in at least three ways. The
resulting history was deeper than specified by one commit, it was
unclear how to wipe the shallowness of the repository with the
command, and documentation was misleading.

Will merge to 'next'.

* jc/no-git-config-in-clone (2013-01-11) 1 commit
- clone: do not export and unexport GIT_CONFIG

Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-04

Teach various forms of "format-patch" command line to identify what

+ t9810: Do not use sed -i

Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-04

Test portability update.
We stopped paying attention to $GIT_CONFIG environment that points
at a single configuration file from any command other than "git config"
quite a while ago, but "git clone" internally set, exported, and
then unexported the variable during its operation unnecessarily.
