What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2008, #06; Wed, 20) |
|
-------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
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. The topics |
|
meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names. |
|
|
|
Today's 'pu' does not pass tests for me; it seems my box does not like new |
|
tests for gitweb somehow. |
|
|
|
By the way, here is a list of issues without any corresponding topic |
|
branches yet: |
|
|
|
* Windows relocatable install |
|
|
|
Steffen Prohaska ($gmane/92605), Johannes Sixt. |
|
|
|
* Haiku port |
|
|
|
Andreas Färber ($gmane/92582) |
|
|
|
* ksh "trap foo EXIT" triggers on function return, loses exit status |
|
|
|
Brandon Casey ($gmane/92873) |
|
|
|
* document webdav debugging tip with davfs2 |
|
|
|
Giovanni Funchal ($gmane/92745) |
|
|
|
* update "rebase -i" documentation with examples |
|
|
|
Eric Hanchrow ($gmane/92669) |
|
|
|
* pre-push hook |
|
|
|
Scott Chacon ($gmane/92900, $gmane/92936) |

* jc/no-slim-shell (Tue Aug 19 18:05:43 2008 -0700) 2 commits |
|
+ Build-in "git-shell" |
|
+ shell: do not play duplicated definition games to shrink the |
|
executable |
|

[Stalled -- Needs Updates] |
|
|
|
I've moved the "Stalled" section up so that it grabs more attention from |
|
people. |
|
|
|
* lt/time-reject-fractional-seconds (Sat Aug 16 21:25:40 2008 -0700) 1 commit |
|
- date/time: do not get confused by fractional seconds |
|
|
|
Linus hints further enhancements as "the right way", so let's see if |
|
somebody else steps up and tries it before merging this to 'next'. |
|
|
|
* sp/smart-http (Sun Aug 3 00:25:17 2008 -0700) 2 commits |
|
- [do not merge -- original version] Add Git-aware CGI for Git-aware |
|
smart HTTP transport |
|
- Add backdoor options to receive-pack for use in Git-aware CGI |
|
|
|
The "magic" detection protocol was revised to use POST to info/refs; the |
|
top one queued is from before that discussion. |
|
|
|
* cc/bisect (Fri Jul 25 05:36:37 2008 +0200) 2 commits |
|
- bisect: only check merge bases when needed |
|
- bisect: test merge base if good rev is not an ancestor of bad rev |
|
|
|
The first one alone does not pass its self-test but combined together they |
|
seem to. It does not build confidence as the latter one is supposed to be |
|
an optimization only. Resend of fixed-up series is needed. |
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
[Actively Cooking] |
|
|
|
* jc/cc-ld-dynpath (Sat Aug 16 15:01:23 2008 +0200) 2 commits |
|
- configure: auto detect dynamic library path switches |
|
- Makefile: Allow CC_LD_DYNPATH to be overriden |
|
|
|
Needs success reports from people who do use user-defined dynamic library |
|
path when they build their "git" before this series can go anywhere. |
|
|
|
* sb/daemon (Thu Aug 14 20:02:20 2008 +0200) 4 commits |
|
- git-daemon: rewrite kindergarden, new option --max-connections |
|
- git-daemon: Simplify dead-children reaping logic |
|
- git-daemon: use LOG_PID, simplify logging code |
|
- git-daemon: call logerror() instead of error() |
|
|
|
Can somebody who actually runs the daemon standalone comment on this one? |
|
|
|

|
- Make builtin-revert.c use merge_recursive_generic() |
|
- merge-recursive.c: Add more generic merge_recursive_generic() |
|
- Split out merge_recursive() to merge-recursive.c |
|
|
|
Miklos will be working on updates. |
|
|

* lw/gitweb (Mon Aug 18 21:39:49 2008 +0200) 3 commits |
|
- gitweb: use new Git::Repo API, and add optional caching |
|

|
Git::RepoRoot |
|
- gitweb: add test suite with Test::WWW::Mechanize::CGI |
|

* sp/missing-thin-base (Tue Aug 12 11:31:06 2008 -0700) 1 commit |
|
+ pack-objects: Allow missing base objects when creating thin packs |

|
+ filter-branch: use --simplify-merges |
|
+ filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with --subdirectory-filter |
|
+ filter-branch: Extend test to show rewriting bug |
|
|
|
Fixes a longstanding filter branch bug. Success stories? |

* jc/post-simplify (Fri Aug 15 01:34:51 2008 -0700) 8 commits |
|
- revision --simplify-merges: incremental simplification |
|
- revision --simplify-merges: prepare for incremental simplification |
|
- revision --simplify-merges: make it a no-op without pathspec |
|
+ revision --simplify-merges: do not leave commits unprocessed |
|
+ revision --simplify-merges: use decoration instead of commit->util |
|
field |
|
+ Topo-sort before --simplify-merges |
|
+ revision traversal: show full history with merge simplification |
|
+ revision.c: whitespace fix |
|
|
|
"log --full-history" is with too much clutter, "log" itself is too cleverer |
|
than some people, and here is the middle level of merge simplification. |
|
|
|
I started making this incremental but the progress is not so great. |

|
+ add: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks |
|
+ update-index: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks |
|
|
|
Fix for a longstanding bug that allows "git add" and "git update-index" to |
|
add a path "a/b" to the index when "a" is a symbolic link. We would need |
|
a similar fix for the case where "a" is a submodule. |
|
|
|
* mv/merge-custom (Wed Aug 13 23:32:43 2008 +0200) 7 commits |
|
+ Update .gitignore to ignore git-help |
|
+ Builtin git-help. |
|
+ builtin-help: always load_command_list() in cmd_help() |
|
+ Add a second testcase for handling invalid strategies in git-merge |
|
+ Add a new test for using a custom merge strategy |
|
+ builtin-merge: allow using a custom strategy |
|
+ builtin-help: make some internal functions available to other |
|
builtins |

|
+ Add test for diff-tree --stdin with two trees |
|
+ Teach git diff-tree --stdin to diff trees |
|
+ diff-tree: Note that the commit ID is printed with --stdin |
|
+ Refactoring: Split up diff_tree_stdin |
|

* mg/count-objects (Fri Aug 15 00:20:20 2008 -0400) 1 commit |
|
+ count-objects: Add total pack size to verbose output |
|
|
|
This one is without the human readable bits. |
|

* mz/push-verbose (Sat Aug 16 19:58:32 2008 +0200) 1 commit |
|
+ Make push more verbose about illegal combination of options |

* jc/index-extended-flags (Sat Aug 16 23:02:08 2008 -0700) 1 commit |
|
+ index: future proof for "extended" index entries |

* cc/merge-base-many (Sun Jul 27 13:47:22 2008 -0700) 4 commits |
|
+ git-merge-octopus: use (merge-base A (merge B C D E...)) for |
|
stepwise merge |
|
+ merge-base-many: add trivial tests based on the documentation |
|
+ documentation: merge-base: explain "git merge-base" with more than |
|
2 args |
|
+ merge-base: teach "git merge-base" to drive underlying |
|
merge_bases_many() |

|
+ builtin-add.c: restructure the code for maintainability |

* am/cherry-pick-rerere (Sun Aug 10 17:18:55 2008 +0530) 1 commit |
|
+ Make cherry-pick use rerere for conflict resolution. |

|
* js/parallel-test (Mon Aug 18 12:25:40 2008 -0400) 4 commits |
|
+ Update t/.gitignore to ignore all trash directories |
|
+ Enable parallel tests |
|
+ tests: Clarify dependencies between tests, 'aggregate-results' and |
|
'clean' |
|
+ t9700: remove useless check |
|
|
|
* jc/test-deeper (Fri Aug 8 02:26:28 2008 -0700) 1 commit |
|
+ tests: use $TEST_DIRECTORY to refer to the t/ directory |
|
|
|
This does not actually move "t/test directory" any deeper, but fixes test |
|
scripts that assume they run immediately below "t/" to use TEST_DIRECTORY |
|
variable. |

- git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output |

|
+ merge: remove deprecated summary and diffstat options and config |
|
variables |
|
|
|
This was previously in "will be in master soon" category, but it turns out |
|
that the synonyms to the ones this one deletes are fairly new invention |
|
that happend in 1.5.6 timeframe, and we cannot do this just yet. Perhaps |
|
in 1.7.0. |
|
|
|
* jc/dashless (Wed Jun 25 15:55:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit |
|
- Make clients ask for "git program" over ssh and local transport |
|
|
|
This is the "botched" one. Will be resurrected during 1.7.0 or 1.8.0 |
|
timeframe. |
|

* 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. |

[Graduated to "master"] |
|
|
|
* js/mingw-stat (Mon Aug 18 22:01:06 2008 +0200) 2 commits |
|
+ Revert "Windows: Use a customized struct stat that also has the |
|
st_blocks member." |
|
+ compat: introduce on_disk_bytes() |
|
|
|
This gets rid of use of st_blocks member (which is XSI but not POSIX |
|
proper), which was originally prompted by recent Haiku port but it turns |
|
out MinGW has the same issue as well. Queued on 'pu' just to have a |
|
chance to make sure I munged the version j6t sent me correctly before |
|
merging it upwards. |
|
|
|
* js/checkout-dwim-local (Sat Aug 9 16:00:12 2008 +0200) 1 commit |
|
+ checkout --track: make up a sensible branch name if '-b' was |
|
omitted |
|
|
|
Alex has update to dwim "checkout --track remotes/origin/hack" as well. |
|
|
|
* bd/diff-strbuf (Wed Aug 13 23:18:22 2008 -0700) 3 commits |
|
+ xdiff-interface: hide the whole "xdiff_emit_state" business from |
|
the caller |
|
+ Use strbuf for struct xdiff_emit_state's remainder |
|
+ Make xdi_diff_outf interface for running xdiff_outf diffs |
|
|
|
Gives measurable performance improvement to textual diff generation. For |
|
improving "blame" performance, it might be more effective to hook directly |
|
to lower level of xdiff machinery so that we do not even have to generate |
|
patch only to discard after reading "@@ -l,k +m,n @@" lines, but that |
|
would be a separate topic. |
|
|
|
* dp/hash-literally (Sun Aug 3 18:36:22 2008 +0400) 6 commits |
|
+ add --no-filters option to git hash-object |
|
+ add --path option to git hash-object |
|
+ use parse_options() in git hash-object |
|
+ correct usage help string for git-hash-object |
|
+ correct argument checking test for git hash-object |
|
+ teach index_fd to work with pipes |
|
|
|
Gives a bit more flexibility to hash-objects by allowing us to lie about |
|
the path the contents comes from. |
|
|
|
* rs/imap (Wed Jul 9 22:29:02 2008 +0100) 5 commits |
|
+ Documentation: Improve documentation for git-imap-send(1) |
|
+ imap-send.c: more style fixes |
|
+ imap-send.c: style fixes |
|
+ git-imap-send: Support SSL |
|
+ git-imap-send: Allow the program to be run from subdirectories of |
|
a git tree |
|
|
|
Some people seem to prefer having this feature available also with gnutls. |
|
Such an enhancement can be done in-tree on top of this series if they are |
|
so inclined. |
|
|
|
* jk/pager-swap (Tue Jul 22 03:14:12 2008 -0400) 2 commits |
|
+ spawn pager via run_command interface |
|
+ run-command: add pre-exec callback |
|
|
|
This changes the parent-child relationship between the pager and the git |
|
process. We used to make pager the parent which meant that the exit |
|
status from git is lost from the caller. |
|
|

* ph/enable-threaded (Mon Jul 21 11:23:43 2008 +0200) 1 commit |
