What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2012, #03; 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'.
Here are the repositories that have my integration branches:
With maint, master, next, pu, todo:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git
https://code.google.com/p/git-core/
https://github.com/git/git
With only maint and master:
git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git
git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core
With all the topics and integration branches:
https://github.com/gitster/git
The preformatted documentation in HTML and man format are found in:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-{htmldocs,manpages}.git/

--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]
* jc/pull-signed-tag (2012-01-11) 1 commit
- merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions
Per Linus's strong suggestion, sugarcoated (aka "taking blame for the
original UI screw-ups") so that it is easier for me to swallow and accept
a potentially huge backward incompatibility issue, "git merge" is made to
launch an editor to explain the merge in the merge commit by default in
interactive sessions.
* jc/request-pull-show-head-4 (2012-01-10) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-11 at 8d98a6b)
+ request-pull: use the real fork point when preparing the message
Hopefully the final finishing touch to the request-pull script that was
updated during this cycle.
Will merge by 1.7.9-rc1.
* jk/maint-upload-archive (2012-01-11) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-11 at 5c0bfa9)
+ archive: re-allow HEAD:Documentation on a remote invocation
Running "git archive" remotely and asking for a partial tree of a ref,
e.g. HEAD:$path was forbidden by a recent change to tighten security, but
was found to be overly restrictive.
Will merge by 1.7.9-rc1.
* nd/commit-ignore-i-t-a (2012-01-11) 2 commits
- commit: add --skip-intent-to-add to allow commit with i-t-a entries in index
- cache-tree: update API to take abitrary flags
* nd/maint-refname-in-hierarchy-check (2012-01-11) 1 commit
- Fix incorrect ref namespace check
Avoid getting confused by "ref/headxxx" and mistaking it as if it is under
the "refs/heads/" hierarchy.
Not urgent.
* rr/sequencer (2012-01-11) 2 commits
- sequencer: factor code out of revert builtin
- revert: prepare to move replay_action to header
Moving large chunk of code out of cherry-pick/revert for later reuse,
primarily to prepare for the next cycle.
Not urgent.
* ss/maint-msys-cvsexportcommit (2012-01-11) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-11 at 007aab1)
+ git-cvsexportcommit: Fix calling Perl's rel2abs() on MSYS
+ t9200: On MSYS, do not pass Windows-style paths to CVS
Will merge by 1.7.9-rc1.
* tr/maint-mailinfo (2012-01-11) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-11 at d9e344a)
+ mailinfo documentation: accurately describe non -k case
Will merge by 1.7.9-rc1.
* jk/credentials (2012-01-11) 3 commits
- unix-socket: do not let close() or chdir() clobber errno during cleanup
- credential-cache: report more daemon connection errors
- unix-socket: handle long socket pathnames
* pw/p4-view-updates (2012-01-11) 5 commits
- git-p4: add tests demonstrating spec overlay ambiguities
- git-p4: adjust test to adhere to stricter useClientSpec
- git-p4: clarify comment
- git-p4: fix verbose comment typo
- git-p4: only a single ... wildcard is supported
--------------------------------------------------
[Graduated to "master"]
* bw/maint-t8006-sed-incomplete-line (2012-01-03) 1 commit
+ Work around sed portability issue in t8006-blame-textconv
--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]
* jc/advise-push-default (2011-12-18) 1 commit
- push: hint to use push.default=upstream when appropriate
Peff had a good suggestion outlining an updated code structure so that
somebody new can try to dip his or her toes in the development. Any
takers?
Waiting for a reroll.
* jc/split-blob (2011-12-01) 6 commits
. WIP (streaming chunked)
- chunked-object: fallback checkout codepaths
- bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding
- bulk-checkin: allow the same data to be multiply hashed
- new representation types in the packstream
- varint-in-pack: refactor varint encoding/decoding
Not ready.
At least pack-objects and fsck need to learn the new encoding for the
series to be usable locally, and then index-pack/unpack-objects needs to
learn it to be used remotely.
* jc/advise-i18n (2011-12-22) 1 commit
- i18n of multi-line advice messages
Allow localization of advice messages that tend to be longer and
multi-line formatted. For now this is deliberately limited to advise()
interface and not vreportf() in general as touching the latter has
interactions with error() that has plumbing callers whose prefix "error: "
should never be translated.
--------------------------------------------------
[Cooking]
* rs/diff-postimage-in-context (2012-01-06) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-09 at 9635032)
+ xdiff: print post-image for common records instead of pre-image
Looked reasonable.
Not urgent.
* cb/push-quiet (2012-01-08) 3 commits
- t5541: avoid TAP test miscounting
- fix push --quiet: add 'quiet' capability to receive-pack
- server_supports(): parse feature list more carefully
Looked reasonable.
Not urgent.
* nd/clone-detached (2012-01-11) 11 commits
- clone: print advice on checking out detached HEAD
- clone: allow --branch to take a tag
- clone: refuse to clone if --branch points to bogus ref
- clone: --branch=<branch> always means refs/heads/<branch>
- fixup! acd8f20
- clone: delay cloning until after remote HEAD checking
- clone: factor out remote ref writing
- clone: factor out HEAD update code
- clone: factor out checkout code
- clone: write detached HEAD in bare repositories
- t5601: add missing && cascade
Looking good, but I may have screwed up the merge of this into 'pu'.
Not urgent.
* nd/clone-single-branch (2012-01-08) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-09 at 6c3c759)
+ clone: add --single-branch to fetch only one branch
Looked reasonable.
Not urgent.
* jn/gitweb-unspecified-action (2012-01-09) 1 commit
- gitweb: Fix actionless dispatch for non-existent objects
Looked reasonable.
Not urgent.
* nd/index-pack-no-recurse (2012-01-09) 3 commits
- index-pack: eliminate unlimited recursion in get_delta_base()
- index-pack: eliminate recursion in find_unresolved_deltas
- Eliminate recursion in setting/clearing marks in commit list
The first one looked sensible; I am not sure if the second and third ones
take the right approach.
Will defer till the next cycle.
* mh/ref-api-rest (2011-12-12) 35 commits
- repack_without_ref(): call clear_packed_ref_cache()
- read_packed_refs(): keep track of the directory being worked in
- is_refname_available(): query only possibly-conflicting references
- refs: read loose references lazily
- read_loose_refs(): take a (ref_entry *) as argument
- struct ref_dir: store a reference to the enclosing ref_cache
- sort_ref_dir(): take (ref_entry *) instead of (ref_dir *)
- do_for_each_ref_in_dir*(): take (ref_entry *) instead of (ref_dir *)
- add_entry(): take (ref_entry *) instead of (ref_dir *)
- search_ref_dir(): take (ref_entry *) instead of (ref_dir *)
- find_containing_direntry(): use (ref_entry *) instead of (ref_dir *)
- add_ref(): take (ref_entry *) instead of (ref_dir *)
- read_packed_refs(): take (ref_entry *) instead of (ref_dir *)
- find_ref(): take (ref_entry *) instead of (ref_dir *)
- is_refname_available(): take (ref_entry *) instead of (ref_dir *)
- get_loose_refs(): return (ref_entry *) instead of (ref_dir *)
- get_packed_refs(): return (ref_entry *) instead of (ref_dir *)
- refs: wrap top-level ref_dirs in ref_entries
- get_ref_dir(): keep track of the current ref_dir
- do_for_each_ref(): only iterate over the subtree that was requested
- refs: sort ref_dirs lazily
- sort_ref_dir(): do not sort if already sorted
- refs: store references hierarchically
- refs.c: rename ref_array -> ref_dir
- struct ref_entry: nest the value part in a union
- check_refname_component(): return 0 for zero-length components
- free_ref_entry(): new function
- refs.c: reorder definitions more logically
- is_refname_available(): reimplement using do_for_each_ref_in_array()
- names_conflict(): simplify implementation
- names_conflict(): new function, extracted from is_refname_available()
- repack_without_ref(): reimplement using do_for_each_ref_in_array()
- do_for_each_ref_in_arrays(): new function
- do_for_each_ref_in_array(): new function
- do_for_each_ref(): correctly terminate while processesing extra_refs
The API for extra anchoring points may require rethought first; that would
hopefully make the "ref" part a lot simpler. And that is happening in
another topic (which has graduated to 'master').
Will defer till the next cycle.
* ss/git-svn-prompt-sans-terminal (2012-01-04) 3 commits
- fixup! 15eaaf4
- git-svn, perl/Git.pm: extend Git::prompt helper for querying users
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-05 at 954f125)
+ perl/Git.pm: "prompt" helper to honor GIT_ASKPASS and SSH_ASKPASS
The bottom one has been replaced with a rewrite based on comments from
Ævar. The second one needs more work, both in perl/Git.pm and prompt.c, to
give precedence to tty over SSH_ASKPASS when terminal is available.
Will defer till the next cycle.
* cb/git-daemon-tests (2012-01-08) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-08 at 1db8351)
+ git-daemon tests: wait until daemon is ready
+ git-daemon: produce output when ready
+ git-daemon: add tests
+ dashed externals: kill children on exit
+ run-command: optionally kill children on exit
Will defer till the next cycle.
* jk/parse-object-cached (2012-01-06) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-08 at 8c6fa4a)
+ upload-pack: avoid parsing tag destinations
+ upload-pack: avoid parsing objects during ref advertisement
+ parse_object: try internal cache before reading object db
These are a bit scary changes, but I do think they are worth doing.
Will defer till the next cycle.
* jn/maint-gitweb-grep-fix (2012-01-05) 2 commits
- gitweb: Harden "grep" search against filenames with ':'
- gitweb: Fix file links in "grep" search
Waiting for a confirmation from bug reporter.
