Subject: What's cooking in git.git (May 2010, #01; Sun, 2)
X-master-at: ddb27a5a6b5ed74c70d56c96592b32eed415d72b
X-next-at: 6845abd811ce929d456af10c5b4ba79640e19438
What's cooking in git.git (May 2010, #01; Sun, 2)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The ones
marked with '.' do not appear in any of the integration branches, but I am
still holding onto them.
The latest release 1.7.1 has been out for a week and I will soon rewind
'next' and switch 'maint' for 1.7.1.X series. It appears that no grave
regression has been reported, which is a good sign.
--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]
* cb/maint-stash-orphaned-file (2010-04-18) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-22 at f9de16c)
+ stash tests: stash can lose data in a file removed from the index
+ stash: Don't overwrite files that have gone from the index

(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-22 at b2668a6)

- remote add: add a --[no-]tags option
- Honor "tagopt = --tags" configuration option
* jc/rev-list-ancestry-path (2010-04-20) 1 commit

Just an illustration patch. merge simplification logic used when
pathspecs are in effect interacts with this rather badly.
* cb/assume-unchanged-fix (2010-05-01) 2 commits
- Documentation: git-add does not update files marked "assume unchanged"
- do not overwrite files marked "assume unchanged"
* jn/fsck-ident (2010-04-24) 1 commit

. pretty: Respect --abbrev option
. shortlog: Document and test --format option
. t4201 (shortlog): Test output format with multiple authors
. t4201 (shortlog): guard setup with test_expect_success
This seems to cause intermittent test failure for me especially when run
under "make -j4".

- pretty: add aliases for pretty formats
- pretty: add infrastructure to allow format aliases
- pretty: make it easier to add new formats

--------------------------------------------------

These were pushed out as part of 1.7.1
--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]
* js/rebase-origin-x (2010-02-05) 1 commit
- [RFC w/o test and incomplete] rebase: add -x option to record original commit name
I retract my objection against the idea of -x; needs polishing before
moving forward.
* js/grep-open (2010-05-01) 3 commits
- grep: do not ignore return value from chdir()
- grep -O: allow optional argument specifying the pager (or editor)
- grep: Add the option '--open-files-in-pager'
(this branch is used by jp/hold-string-list-sanity.)
Probably needs to support --no-index mode as well.
* jp/hold-string-list-sanity (2010-04-06) 9 commits
. string_list: Fix argument order for string_list_append
. Merge branch 'sr/remote-helper-export' into HEAD
. Merge branch 'js/grep-open' into HEAD
. Merge branch 'sb/fmt-merge-msg' into HEAD

. string_list: Fix argument order for for_each_string_list
. string_list: Fix argument order for print_string_list
(this branch uses js/grep-open and sr/remote-helper-export.)
Building this on top of slushy codebase is not a very promising endeavor.
Good thing to do, but it came at a bad time.

+ reflog --expire-unreachable: special case entries in "HEAD" reflog
+ more war on "sleep" in tests
+ Document gc.<pattern>.reflogexpire variables
(this branch uses jc/maint-reflog-expire-unreachable.)
Rerolled; instead of ignoring the configuration like the previous round
did, this one prunes stale entries that are unreachable from any ref from
the reflog of HEAD.
* cw/maint-exec-defpath (2010-04-15) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-22 at e990e5b)

There are gitk patches that go with this series.

(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-22 at c6abe03)
+ status: --ignored option shows ignored files
+ wt-status: rename and restructure status-print-untracked
+ wt-status: collect ignored files
+ wt-status: plug memory leak while collecting untracked files
+ wt-status: remove unused workdir_untracked member
I am negative about conflating the JSON output to the mix at this point.
Let's stabilize "status" with the existing --porcelain/-z option first.
* eb/unpretty-b-format (2010-03-24) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-07 at 7f5c112)
+ Add `%B' in format strings for raw commit body in `git log' and friends

(this branch is used by jc/maint-no-reflog-expire-unreach-for-head.)
* np/malloc-threading (2010-04-08) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-10 at e1730fb)
+ Thread-safe xmalloc and xrealloc needs a recursive mutex
+ Make xmalloc and xrealloc thread-safe
The fix should eventually go to 'maint' and 'master'. This queues the one
from J6t for Windows compatibility.
* js/async-thread (2010-03-09) 7 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-22 at ee8874e)
+ Enable threaded async procedures whenever pthreads is available
(merged to 'next' on 2010-03-20 at 9939243)
+ Dying in an async procedure should only exit the thread, not the process.
+ Reimplement async procedures using pthreads
+ Windows: more pthreads functions
+ Fix signature of fcntl() compatibility dummy
+ Make report() from usage.c public as vreportf() and use it.
+ Modernize t5530-upload-pack-error.
As the malloc-threading topic has been cooking for a while, the tip one
may not be so bad to unleash to 'next' users, especially because we are in
the pre-release feature freeze.
* sd/log-decorate (2010-04-08) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-08 at 68fee56)

+ script with rev-list instead of log
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-06 at 992c9ad)
+ log --pretty/--oneline: ignore log.decorate
(merged to 'next' on 2010-03-08 at 58a6fba)
+ log.decorate: usability fixes
+ Add `log.decorate' configuration variable.
+ git_config_maybe_bool()
* mh/status-optionally-refresh (2010-04-03) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-05 at 0e64aac)
+ t7508: add a test for "git status" in a read-only repository
+ git status: refresh the index if possible
+ t7508: add test for "git status" refreshing the index
* cw/ws-indent-with-tab (2010-04-03) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-05 at 5b5e579)
+ whitespace: tests for git-apply --whitespace=fix with tab-in-indent
+ whitespace: add tab-in-indent support for --whitespace=fix
+ whitespace: replumb ws_fix_copy to take a strbuf *dst instead of char *dst
+ whitespace: tests for git-diff --check with tab-in-indent error class
+ whitespace: add tab-in-indent error class
+ whitespace: we cannot "catch all errors known to git" anymore
* sr/remote-helper-export (2010-04-12) 9 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-12 at cefbb2f)
+ t5800: testgit helper requires Python support
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-09 at 94f6e3d)

(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-07 at 5651307)
+ remote-helpers: add tests for testgit helper
+ remote-helpers: add testgit helper
+ remote-helpers: add support for an export command
+ remote-helpers: allow requesing the path to the .git directory
+ fast-import: always create marks_file directories
+ clone: also configure url for bare clones
+ clone: pass the remote name to remote_get
(this branch is used by jp/hold-string-list-sanity.)
* cc/revert-strategy (2010-03-31) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-05 at 50909c1)
+ revert: add "--strategy" option to choose merge strategy
+ merge: make function try_merge_command non static
+ merge: refactor code that calls "git merge-STRATEGY"
+ revert: refactor merge recursive code into its own function
+ revert: use strbuf to refactor the code that writes the merge message
This is more about debugging and we are not in a great hurry.
* sc/http-late-auth (2010-04-01) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-02 at c991acf)
+ Prompt for a username when an HTTP request 401s
* jk/cached-textconv (2010-04-01) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-02 at a023e3c)
+ diff: avoid useless filespec population
+ diff: cache textconv output
+ textconv: refactor calls to run_textconv
+ introduce notes-cache interface
+ make commit_tree a library function
The small leak fixes in the beginning of the series has been merged to
'master' after a minor fixup.
* ld/discovery-limit-to-fs (2010-04-04) 6 commits
- write-index: check and warn when worktree crosses a filesystem boundary
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-07 at 11ea09a)
+ Rename ONE_FILESYSTEM to DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM
+ GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM: flip the default to stop at filesystem boundaries
+ Add support for GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM
+ truncate cwd string before printing error message
+ config.c: remove static keyword from git_env_bool()
The tip one is a bit iffy; the whole series changes behaviour in a corner
case, and is not a 1.7.1 material.
* pc/remove-warn (2010-03-26) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-02 at 52fc00d)
+ Remove a redundant errno test in a usage of remove_path
+ Introduce remove_or_warn function
+ Implement the rmdir_or_warn function
+ Generalise the unlink_or_warn function
I cherry-picked only obviously sensible bits.
* em/checkout-orphan (2010-03-21) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2010-03-28 at 86b6a4f)
+ git checkout: create unparented branch by --orphan
Perhaps needs a bit of documentation updates, describing the "going open
source" scenario.
* ar/config-from-command-line (2010-03-26) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-04-07 at e50fd3a)
