What's cooking in git.git (Jun 2008, issue #03; Wed, 25) |
|
-------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed |
|
with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are |
|
in 'next'. |
|
|
|
The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. |
|
|
|
It already is beginning to become clear what 1.6.0 will look like. What's |
|
already in 'next' all are well intentioned (I do not guarantee they are |
|
already bug-free --- that is what cooking them in 'next' is for) and are |
|
good set of feature enhancements. But bigger changes will be: |
|
|
|
* MinGW will be in. |
|
|
|
* /usr/bin/git-cat-file is no more. The bulk of the git commands will |
|
move to /usr/libexec/git-core/ or somesuch. |
|
|
|
* git-merge will be rewritten in C. |
|
|
|
* default pack and idx versions will be updated as scheduled for some |
|
time ago. |
|
|
|

|
+ Move all dashed-form commands to libexecdir |
|
|
|
Scheduled for 1.6.0. We'll leave server-side programs in $(bindir) |
|
so that ssh clients can ask for "git-program" and find them on the $PATH. |
|
|

|
filesystem |
|
+ git-shell: accept "git foo" form |
|
|
|
We do not plan to remove git-foo form completely from the filesystem at |

this point, but git-shell may need to be updated. |

API. |

* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit |
|
- diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly |
|
asked for |
|
|
|
This would be the right thing to do for command line use, but gitk will be |
|
hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding this back for now. |

[Stalled/Needs more work] |
|
|
|
* jc/reflog-expire (Sun Jun 15 23:48:46 2008 -0700) 1 commit |
|
- Per-ref reflog expiry configuration |
|
|
|
Perhaps a good foundation for optionally unexpirable stash. As 1.6.0 will |
|
be a good time to make backward incompatible changes, we might make expiry |
|
period of stash 'never' in new repositories. Needs a concensus. |
|
|
|
* jc/merge-theirs (Fri Jun 20 00:17:59 2008 -0700) 2 commits |
|
- git-merge-recursive-{ours,theirs} |
|
- git-merge-file --ours, --theirs |
|
|
|
Punting a merge by discarding your own work in conflicting parts but still |
|
salvaging the parts that are cleanly automerged. It is likely that this |
|
will result in nonsense mishmash, but somehow often people want this, so |
|
here they are. The interface to the backends may need to change, though. |
|
|
|
* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 7 commits |
|
- blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental |
|
format |
|
- git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output |
|
+ git-blame --reverse |
|
+ builtin-blame.c: allow more than 16 parents |
|
+ builtin-blame.c: move prepare_final() into a separate function. |
|
+ rev-list --children |
|
+ revision traversal: --children option |
|
|
|
The blame that finds where each line in the original lines moved to. This |
|
may help a GSoC project that wants to gather statistical overview of the |
|
history. The final presentation may need tweaking (see the log message of |
|
the commit ""git-blame --reverse" on the series). |
|
|
|
The tip two commits are for peeling to see what's behind the blamed |
|
commit, which we should be able to separate out into an independent topic |
|
from the rest. |

|
|
|

|
. WIP: rethink replay merge |
|
. Start using replay-tree merge in cherry-pick |
|
. revert/cherry-pick: start refactoring call to merge_recursive |
|
|
|
This is meant to improve cherry-pick's behaviour when renames are |
|
involved, by not using merge-recursive (whose d/f conflict resolution is |
|
quite broken), but unfortunately has stalled for some time now. |
|
|
