What's cooking in git.git (May 2012, #06; Wed, 23)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the
repositories listed at
http://git-blame.blogspot.com/p/git-public-repositories.html
--------------------------------------------------
[Graduated to "master"]
* bp/diff-no-index-strbuf-fix (2012-05-16) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-18 at b2c26bb)
+ diff --no-index: don't leak buffers in queue_diff
+ diff --no-index: reset temporary buffer lengths on directory iteration
Fix regressions to "git diff --no-index" when it recurses down.
* hv/submodule-alt-odb (2012-05-14) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-18 at 2f17ac8)
+ teach add_submodule_odb() to look for alternates
When peeking into object stores of submodules, the code forgot that they
might borrow objects from alternate object stores on their own.
* js/rebase-i-p-test-fix (2012-05-18) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-18 at b7482fc)
+ Fix t3411.3 to actually rebase something
* js/rev-parse-doc-fix (2012-05-18) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-18 at c16f1c7)
+ rev-parse doc: --git-dir does not always show a relative path
* rs/archive-tree-in-tip-simplify (2012-05-18) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-18 at a8ca614)
+ archive-tar: keep const in checksum calculation
+ archive: simplify refname handling
--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]
* fc/git-prompt-script (2012-05-22) 5 commits
- completion: split __git_ps1 into a separate script
- completion: remove executable mode
- Merge branch 'fc/git-complete-helper' into fc/git-prompt-script
- tests: add tests for the bash prompt functions in the completion script
- tests: move code to run tests under bash into a helper library
(this branch is tangled with sg/bash-prompt.)
Looked reasonable from my point of view, but I am not familiar with the
direction in which larger "bash completion" project folks are going, so
people more knowledgeable than myself need to help me guiding this topic.
* jk/fetch-pack-remove-dups-optim (2012-05-22) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-23 at 6057c21)
+ fetch-pack: avoid quadratic loop in filter_refs
+ fetch-pack: sort the list of incoming refs
+ add sorting infrastructure for list refs
+ fetch-pack: avoid quadratic behavior in remove_duplicates
+ fetch-pack: sort incoming heads
The way "fetch-pack" taht is given multiple references to fetch tried to
remove duplicates was very inefficient.
Will merge to master.
* jk/ident-split-fix (2012-05-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-23 at 811c9ec)
+ fix off-by-one error in split_ident_line
An author/committer name that is a single character was mishandled as an
invalid name by mistake.
Will merge to master and later to maint.
* jk/pretty-commit-header-incomplete-line (2012-05-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-23 at f788433)
+ avoid segfault when reading header of malformed commits
Will merge to master and later to maint.
* mh/fetch-pack-constness (2012-05-22) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-23 at be95121)
+ cmd_fetch_pack(): respect constness of argv parameter
+ cmd_fetch_pack(): combine the loop termination conditions
+ cmd_fetch_pack(): handle non-option arguments outside of the loop
+ cmd_fetch_pack(): declare dest to be const
Tighten constness of some local variables in a callchain.
* rs/refs-string-slice (2012-05-22) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-23 at d224de1)
+ refs: do not create ref_entry when searching
+ refs: use strings directly in find_containing_dir()
+ refs: convert parameter of create_dir_entry() to length-limited string
+ refs: convert parameter of search_ref_dir() to length-limited string
Avoid unnecessary temporary allocations while looking for matching refs
inside refs API.
* cr/persistent-https (2012-05-23) 1 commit
- Add persistent-https to contrib
A remote helper that acts as a proxy that caches ssl session for the
https:// transport is added to the contrib/ area.
* jk/format-person-part-buffer-limit (2012-05-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-23 at ef025b0)
+ pretty: avoid buffer overflow in format_person_part
Will merge to master and later to maint.
* nd/stream-index-pack (2012-05-23) 6 commits
- sha1_loose_object_info: do not complain out loud on non-existent objects
- index-pack: avoid collision test when verifying in-repo pack
- index-pack: use streaming interface for collision test on large blobs
- index-pack: factor out unpack core from get_data_from_pack
- index-pack: use streaming interface on large blobs (most of the time)
- index-pack: hash non-delta objects while reading from stream
Use streaming API to read from the object store to avoid having to hold
a large blob object in-core while running index-pack.
The later 3 patches in the series looked a bit suspect.
* va/git-p4-test (2012-05-23) 2 commits
- git-p4: Verify detection of "empty" branch creation
- git-p4: Test changelists touching two branches
--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]
* nl/http-proxy-more (2012-05-11) 2 commits
- http: rename HTTP_REAUTH to HTTP_AUTH_RETRY
- http: Avoid limit of retrying request only twice
I queued only the later two patches from this series, even though they do
not make much sense without the first one that seems to need a bit more
work, so that we won't forget.
* sg/bash-prompt (2012-05-09) 4 commits
- completion: respect $GIT_DIR
- completion: use __gitdir() in _git_log()
- tests: add tests for the bash prompt functions in the completion script
- tests: move code to run tests under bash into a helper library
(this branch is tangled with fc/git-prompt-script.)
This is only the "correction" bits taken from the beginning of a larger
series that is to be rerolled. The first two are tangled with Felipe's
topic so a reroll, if comes, should build on top of them.
* jc/apply-3way (2012-05-16) 12 commits
- WIP: the message is bogus in apply:::check_patch()
- apply: refactor "previous patch" logic
- apply: a bit more comments on PATH_TO_BE_DELETED
- apply: document --3way option
- apply: allow rerere() upon --3way results
- apply: register conflicted stages to the index
- apply: plug the three-way merge logic in
- apply: fall back on three-way merge
- apply: accept -3/--3way command line option
- apply: split load_preimage() helper function out
- apply: refactor read_file_or_gitlink()
- apply: clear_image() clears things a bit more
(this branch is tangled with jc/wip-apply-3way.)
"git apply" learns to wiggle the base version and perform three-way merge
when a patch does not exactly apply to the version you have.
It turns out that it is somewhat unpleasant to handle add/add conflicts in
this code, but it seems necessary if we want to use "apply -3" to replace
the use of "apply --build-fake-ancestor" followed by the slow "merge" in
"am -3".
* jc/maint-push-refs-all (2012-05-04) 2 commits
- get_fetch_map(): tighten checks on dest refs
- fetch/push: allow refs/*:refs/*
Allows pushing and fetching refs/stash.
Not ready.
There still seem to be other bugs hiding (e.g. try pushing twice).
* jc/run-hook-env-1 (2012-03-11) 1 commit
- run_hook(): enhance the interface to pass arbitrary environment
Not urgent.
Updates run_hook() API to be much less specific to "commit". It would
only be useful if people start doing more interesting things with hooks.
* jc/split-blob (2012-04-03) 6 commits
- chunked-object: streaming checkout
- 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
- packfile: use varint functions
Not ready.
I finished the streaming checkout codepath, but as explained in
127b177 (bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding, 2011-11-30),
these are still early steps of a long and painful journey. 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.
Given that I heard a lot of noise that people want large files, and
that I was asked by somebody at GitTogether'11 privately for an
advice on how to pay developers (not me) to help adding necessary
support, I am somewhat dissapointed that the original patch series
that was sent almost two months ago still remains here without much
comments and updates from the developer community. I even made the
interface to the logic that decides where to split chunks easily
replaceable, and I deliberately made the logic in the original patch
extremely stupid to entice others, especially the "bup" fanboys, to
come up with a better logic, thinking that giving people an easy
target to shoot for, they may be encouraged to help out. The plan is
not working :-(.

[Cooking]
* jk/ident-gecos-strbuf (2012-05-22) 15 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-23 at 6fce816)
+ format-patch: refactor get_patch_filename
+ ident: trim whitespace from default name/email
+ ident: use a dynamic strbuf in fmt_ident
+ ident: use full dns names to generate email addresses
+ ident: report passwd errors with a more friendly message
+ drop length limitations on gecos-derived names and emails
+ ident: don't write fallback username into git_default_name
+ fmt_ident: drop IDENT_WARN_ON_NO_NAME code
+ format-patch: use default email for generating message ids
+ ident: trim trailing newline from /etc/mailname
+ move git_default_* variables to ident.c
+ move identity config parsing to ident.c
+ fmt-merge-msg: don't use static buffer in record_person
+ http-push: do not access git_default_email directly
+ ident: split setup_ident into separate functions
Fixes quite a lot of brokenness when ident information needs to be taken
from the system and cleans up the code.
Will merge to master.
* js/submodule-relative (2012-05-23) 2 commits
- submodule: fix handling of relative superproject origin URLs
- submodule: document handling of relative superproject origin URLs
* mh/ref-api-lazy-loose (2012-05-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-23 at c41a30a)
+ free_ref_entry(): do not trigger reading of loose refs
The code to lazily read loose refs by mistake unnecessarily read the refs
in a subhierarchy when we free the data for the subhierarchy.
Will merge to master.
* mh/test-keep-prove-cache (2012-05-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-23 at 870d1f9)
+ t/Makefile: retain cache t/.prove across prove runs
* ng/pack-objects-cleanup (2012-05-18) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-23 at f90b1ba)
+ pack-objects: refactor write_object() into helper functions
+ pack-objects, streaming: turn "xx >= big_file_threshold" to ".. > .."
* rs/maint-grep-F (2012-05-21) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-23 at b24143c)
+ grep: stop leaking line strings with -f
+ grep: support newline separated pattern list
+ grep: factor out do_append_grep_pat()
+ grep: factor out create_grep_pat()
"git grep -F", unlike the case where it reads from a file, did not treat
individual lines in the given pattern argument as separate patterns as it
should.
Will merge to master and later to maint.
* rs/xdiff-fast-hash-fix (2012-05-23) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-23 at 8df26a5)
+ xdiff: import new 32-bit version of count_masked_bytes()
+ xdiff: avoid more compiler warnings with XDL_FAST_HASH on 32-bit machines
+ xdiff: avoid compiler warnings with XDL_FAST_HASH on 32-bit machines
Will merge to master.

+ git-sh-setup: define workaround wrappers before they are used
Will merge to master.
* fc/git-complete-helper-fix (2012-05-20) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-05-23 at 6124da2)

+ dir: respect string length argument of read_directory_recursive()
Will merge to master.
* mm/push-default-switch-warning (2012-04-26) 2 commits
- t5541: warning message is given even with --quiet
- push: start warning upcoming default change for push.default
Will squash the two, but this has to wait for a few release cycles.
--------------------------------------------------
[Discarded]
* cb/daemon-test-race-fix (2012-04-27) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-04-27 at 84bbcf8)

(merged to 'next' on 2012-04-24 at d5c30be)
+ git-daemon wrapper to wait until daemon is ready
Reverted from 'next' to replace it with js/daemon-test-race-fix.
