What's cooking in git.git (Feb 2012, #08; Wed, 22)
--------------------------------------------------
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
--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]
* jb/filter-ignore-sigpipe (2012-02-21) 1 commit
- Ignore SIGPIPE when running a filter driver
Looked sane.
Will merge to "next".
* jc/pickaxe-ignore-case (2012-02-21) 1 commit
- pickaxe: allow -i to search in patch case-insensitively
* jc/doc-merge-options (2012-02-22) 1 commit
- Documentation/merge-options.txt: group "ff" related options together
Documentation for "git merge" had "--ff-only" far away from other options
related to the handling of fast-forward merges.
* ph/cherry-pick-advice-refinement (2012-02-22) 1 commit
- cherry-pick: No advice to commit if --no-commit
* pj/completion-remote-set-url-branches (2012-02-22) 2 commits
- completion: normalize increment/decrement style
- completion: remote set-* <name> and <branch>
* th/git-diffall (2012-02-22) 1 commit
- contrib: added git-diffall
--------------------------------------------------
[Graduated to "master"]
* jk/diff-highlight (2012-02-13) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-02-20 at ba040ae)
+ diff-highlight: document some non-optimal cases
+ diff-highlight: match multi-line hunks
+ diff-highlight: refactor to prepare for multi-line hunks
+ diff-highlight: don't highlight whole lines
+ diff-highlight: make perl strict and warnings fatal
Updates diff-highlight (in contrib/).
* jn/gitweb-unborn-head (2012-02-17) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-02-20 at 80e3ff2)
+ gitweb: Fix "heads" view when there is no current branch
"gitweb" compared non-existent value of HEAD with the names of commit
objects at tips of branches, triggering runtime warnings.
--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]
* jl/maint-submodule-relative (2012-02-09) 2 commits
- submodules: always use a relative path from gitdir to work tree
- submodules: always use a relative path to gitdir
The second one looked iffy.
* hv/submodule-recurse-push (2012-02-13) 3 commits
- push: teach --recurse-submodules the on-demand option
- Refactor submodule push check to use string list instead of integer
- Teach revision walking machinery to walk multiple times sequencially
The bottom one was not clearly explained and needs a reroll.
* zj/diff-stat-dyncol (2012-02-15) 6 commits
. diff --stat: use less columns for change counts
- (squash to the previous -- replace the last line of the log with the following)
- diff --stat: use the full terminal width
- (squash to the previous -- replace the log message with this)
- diff --stat: tests for long filenames and big change counts
- Merge branches zj/decimal-width and zj/term-columns
I am beginning to think that the last one should wait until the dust from
the earlier part settles.
* jc/advise-push-default (2011-12-18) 1 commit
- push: hint to use push.default=upstream when appropriate
Peff had a good suggestion outlining an updated code structure so that
somebody new can try to dip his or her toes in the development. Any
takers?
* ss/git-svn-prompt-sans-terminal (2012-01-04) 3 commits
- fixup! 15eaaf4
- git-svn, perl/Git.pm: extend Git::prompt helper for querying users
- perl/Git.pm: "prompt" helper to honor GIT_ASKPASS and SSH_ASKPASS
The bottom one has been replaced with a rewrite based on comments from
Ævar. The second one needs more work, both in perl/Git.pm and prompt.c, to
give precedence to tty over SSH_ASKPASS when terminal is available.
* jc/split-blob (2012-01-24) 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
- varint-in-pack: refactor varint encoding/decoding
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 :-(.
* nd/columns (2012-02-08) 15 commits
. column: Fix some compiler and sparse warnings
. column: add a corner-case test to t3200
. columns: minimum coding style fixes
. tag: add --column
. column: support piping stdout to external git-column process
. status: add --column
. branch: add --column
. help: reuse print_columns() for help -a
. column: add column.ui for default column output settings
. column: support columns with different widths
. column: add columnar layout
. Stop starting pager recursively
. Add git-column and column mode parsing
. column: add API to print items in columns
. Save terminal width before setting up pager
Expecting a reroll on top of zj/term-columns topic.
--------------------------------------------------
[Cooking]
* fc/push-prune (2012-02-22) 4 commits
- push: add '--prune' option
- remote: refactor code into alloc_delete_ref()
- remote: reorganize check_pattern_match()
- remote: use a local variable in match_push_refs()
Rerolled and looked sane.
Will merge to "next".
* jc/add-refresh-unmerged (2012-02-17) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-02-21 at 09f8721)
+ refresh_index: do not show unmerged path that is outside pathspec
"git add --refresh <pathspec>" warned about unmerged paths outside the
given pathspec.
* jc/diff-ignore-case (2012-02-19) 6 commits
- diff -i
- diff: --ignore-case
- xdiff: introduce XDF_IGNORE_CASE
- xdiff: introduce XDF_INEXACT_MATCH
- xdiff: PATIENCE/HISTOGRAM are not independent option bits
- xdiff: remove XDL_PATCH_* macros
"git diff" learns "--ignore-case" option.
* jn/gitweb-hilite-regions (2012-02-19) 5 commits
- gitweb: Use esc_html_match_hl() in 'grep' search
- gitweb: Highlight matched part of shortened project description
- gitweb: Highlight matched part of project description when searching projects
- gitweb: Highlight matched part of project name when searching projects
- gitweb: Introduce esc_html_hl_regions
(this branch uses jn/gitweb-search-optim.)
Not reviewed and do not know what this is about yet ;-).
* jn/gitweb-search-optim (2012-02-19) 3 commits
- gitweb: Faster project search
- gitweb: Option for filling only specified info in fill_project_list_info
- gitweb: Refactor checking if part of project info need filling
(this branch is used by jn/gitweb-hilite-regions.)
The API introduced in the second step still has yucky design, but at least
it is more clear than the previous rounds what this is trying to do.
* js/configure-libintl (2012-02-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-02-21 at 79d7ccc)
+ configure: don't use -lintl when there is no gettext support
Build fix for autoconf, meant for 'maint' track.
* pj/remote-set-branches-usage-fix (2012-02-19) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-02-21 at cb71d0e)
+ remote: fix set-branches usage and documentation
Documentation fix.
* tr/perftest (2012-02-17) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-02-20 at 4c75ba9)
+ Add a performance test for git-grep
+ Introduce a performance testing framework
+ Move the user-facing test library to test-lib-functions.sh
* jb/required-filter (2012-02-17) 1 commit
- Add a setting to require a filter to be successful
A content filter used to be a way to make the recorded contents "more
useful", but this defines a way to optionally mark a filter "required".
Will merge to "next" after waiting for a few more days for comments.
* jk/config-include (2012-02-17) 10 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-02-20 at 7b150b7)
+ config: add include directive
+ config: eliminate config_exclusive_filename
+ config: stop using config_exclusive_filename
+ config: provide a version of git_config with more options
+ config: teach git_config_rename_section a file argument
+ config: teach git_config_set_multivar_in_file a default path
+ config: copy the return value of prefix_filename
+ t1300: add missing &&-chaining
+ docs/api-config: minor clarifications
+ docs: add a basic description of the config API
An assignment to the include.path pseudo-variable causes the named file
to be included in-place when Git looks up configuration variables.
Reverted the earlier round from 'next' and then fixed up further.
* ld/git-p4-expanded-keywords (2012-02-14) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-02-16 at a9004c5)
+ git-p4: add initial support for RCS keywords
Teach git-p4 to unexpand $RCS$-like keywords that are embedded in
tracked contents in order to reduce unnecessary merge conflicts.
Waiting for follow-up fix-up patches.
