* Handling pushing into non-bare repository more gracefully. |
|
|
|
|
|
When git-push is done to a non-bare repository and updates the |
|
|
branch that is currently checked out, we currently do not do |
|
|
anything special. |

Use git.git as the first public guinea pig of subproject stuff, |
|
|
by dropping git-gui/ directory first and then binding git-gui.git |
|
|
as a subproject there. This needs to wait at least until v1.5.2 |
|
|
ships and gets installed at kernel.org and repo.or.cz |

Maybe abandon this and have something similar on the main |
|
|
branch, starting full at the beginning of the cycle and ending |
|
|
empty (or full of "not in next release" entries) at the release? |
|
|
|
|
|
* git-daemon bug? |
|

|
|
Message-ID: <450EABD0.1040102@innova-card.com> |

|
|
|
|
Repeated requests against git-daemon makes it stuck under --syslog |
|
|
|
|
|
[jc: does not reproduce easily for me; has anybody seen it?] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* git-mirror (reverse of git-push --all). |
|
|

Message-ID: <20060926215745.GC8177@spearce.org> |
|
|
|
|
|
Pasky sent an updated version to the list recently, but the |
|
|
general sentiment on the list seems that existing git-fetch |
|
|
has enough features to perform most of what 'mirror' does. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* AsciiDoc 8 would break our documentation. |
|
|
|
|
|
From: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> |
|
|
Message-ID: <4523EC14.6070806@s5r6.in-berlin.de> |
|
|
|
|
|
AsciiDoc 8 does not grok documents written for AsciiDoc 7 out of |
|
|
the box. |
|
|
|
|
|
[jc: limbo?] |
|
|
|
|
|
* Delegate gitweb part to somebody else. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Use gitattributes for more things. |
|
|
|
|
|
- 'precious' files that are not tracked but not |
|
|
build-products. Currently people seem to put them in |
|
|
.gitignore, but that is not quite right, as .gitignore is |
|
|
meant for ignoring things that can be lost (build products, |
|
|
editor backup files). "git clean -x" and "git checkout" to |
|
|
another branch that has a file where the current branch has a |
|
|
directory could lose such 'precious' files. |
|
|
|
|
|
- Customized "diff -p" markers per path (Johannes, on #git |
|
|
2007-04-30). |
|
|
|
|
|
I think it makes sense to give an extra parameter to xdiff |
|
|
machinery to affect how "diff -p" markers are constructed (as |
|
|
opposed to teach xdiff machinery to read gitattributes -- the |
|
|
code does not have path information at that level). The |
|
|
simplest interface would be to pass a regexp and have the |
|
|
existing code always look for that regexp backwards. A more |
|
|
complex one would involve a callback function, but I do not |
|
|
know if that kind of complexity is worth it. |
|
|
|
|
|
- Others??? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Technical (heavier) |
|
|
------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
* Subproject Porcelain. |
|
|
|
|
|
- recursive checkout |
|
|
- recursive diff |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Technical (milder) |
|
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
|
|
* upload-pack support for start fetching from any valid point on |
|
|
the history, not just published refs. (Erik W. Biederman |
|
|
<m164jc9ekx.fsf@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com>) |
|
|
|
|
|
* daemon --strict-symlink. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Maybe grok PGP signed text/plain in applymbox as well. |
|
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch" should be able to use foreign SCM import backends |
|
|
such as svnimport and cvsimport. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Technical (trivial) |
|
|
------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
* Update the lockfile protocol so that closing and renaming are |
|
|
done inside lockfile commit time. Some filesystems do not |
|
|
like an open file renamed and then closed. Come up with a |
|
|
patch and pass Alex for an Ack. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Mbx (not mbox) support for git-mailsplit. |
|
|
|
|
|
* git-clone fail .git/refs/foo (Yann Dirson <ydirson@altern.org>) |
|
|
<20060610225040.GA7766@nowhere.earth> |
|
|
|
|
|
* git-proxy should be spawned with sh -c 'command' $1 $2. |
|
|
|
|
|
[jc: should it? -- deciding if it should may not be "trivial", |
|
|
but if it turns out to be the right thing to do, the change |
|
|
itself is trivial.] |
|
|
|
|
|
* Maybe a true git-proxy command that reads the first request |
|
|
pkt-line, and redirects the request to its real destination. |
|
|
|
|
|
* test scripts for the relative directory path stuff. |
