What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2011, #02; Tue, 6) |
|
-------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are |
|
only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. |
|
|
|
Some of the recent patches are fixes to new feature topics already merged |
|
to "master" and are being fast tracked for 1.7.7-rc1, but otherwise |
|
patches for new features and fixes to longstanding issues will stay in |
|
'pu' or 'next' until the 1.7.7 final. |
|
|
|

[Stalled] |
|
|
|
* jk/add-i-hunk-filter (2011-07-27) 5 commits |
|
(merged to 'next' on 2011-08-11 at 8ff9a56) |
|
+ add--interactive: add option to autosplit hunks |
|
+ add--interactive: allow negatation of hunk filters |
|
+ add--interactive: allow hunk filtering on command line |
|
+ add--interactive: factor out regex error handling |
|
+ add--interactive: refactor patch mode argument processing |
|
|
|
Needs documentation updates, tests, and integration with the higher level |
|
callers, e.g. "git add -p". |
|
|
|
* jh/receive-count-limit (2011-05-23) 10 commits |
|
- receive-pack: Allow server to refuse pushes with too many objects |
|
- pack-objects: Estimate pack size; abort early if pack size limit is exceeded |
|
- send-pack/receive-pack: Allow server to refuse pushing too large packs |
|
- pack-objects: Allow --max-pack-size to be used together with --stdout |
|
- send-pack/receive-pack: Allow server to refuse pushes with too many commits |
|
- pack-objects: Teach new option --max-commit-count, limiting #commits in pack |
|
- receive-pack: Prepare for addition of the new 'limit-*' family of capabilities |
|
- Tighten rules for matching server capabilities in server_supports() |
|
- send-pack: Attempt to retrieve remote status even if pack-objects fails |
|
- Update technical docs to reflect side-band-64k capability in receive-pack |
|
|
|
Would need another round to separate per-pack and per-session limits. |
|
|
|
* jm/mergetool-pathspec (2011-06-22) 2 commits |
|
- mergetool: Don't assume paths are unmerged |
|
- mergetool: Add tests for filename with whitespace |
|
|
|
I think this is a good idea, but it probably needs a re-roll. |
|
Cf. $gmane/176254, 176255, 166256 |
|
|
|
* jk/generation-numbers (2011-07-14) 7 commits |
|
- limit "contains" traversals based on commit generation |
|

|
- pretty: support %G to show the generation number of a commit |
|
- commit: add commit_generation function |
|
- add metadata-cache infrastructure |
|
- decorate: allow storing values instead of pointers |
|
- Merge branch 'jk/tag-contains-ab' (early part) into HEAD |
|
|
|
The initial "tag --contains" de-pessimization without need for generation |
|
numbers is already in; backburnered. |
|
|
|
* sr/transport-helper-fix-rfc (2011-07-19) 2 commits |
|
- t5800: point out that deleting branches does not work |
|

|
- On Cygwin support both UNIX and DOS style path-names |
|
- git-compat-util: add generic find_last_dir_sep that respects is_dir_sep |
|
|
|
I think a further refactoring (no, not my suggestion) was offered? |
|

|
|
|
Not urgent; I fixed up the test breakage just for fun. |
|
|
|
* hv/submodule-merge-search (2011-08-26) 4 commits |
|
- submodule: Search for merges only at end of recursive merge |
|
- allow multiple calls to submodule merge search for the same path |
|
- submodule: Demonstrate known breakage during recursive merge |
|
- push: Don't push a repository with unpushed submodules |
|
(this branch uses fg/submodule-auto-push.) |
|
|
|
Not urgent; the topic came up a bit too late in the cycle. |

The bottom one needs to be replaced with a properly written commit log message. |
|
|

|
- git-remote-mediawiki: allow push to set MediaWiki metadata |

|
(merged to 'next' on 2011-09-02 at 336f57d) |
|

|
(merged to 'next' on 2011-08-24 at 398e764) |
|
+ push: teach --recurse-submodules the on-demand option |
|
(this branch is used by hv/submodule-merge-search.) |
|
|
|
What the topic aims to achieve may make sense, but the implementation |
|
looked somewhat suboptimal. |
|
|
|
* jc/fetch-verify (2011-09-01) 3 commits |
|
- fetch: verify we have everything we need before updating our ref |
|
- rev-list --verify-object |
|
- list-objects: pass callback data to show_objects() |
|
(this branch is used by jc/receive-verify and jc/receive-verify; uses jc/traverse-commit-list.) |
|
|
|
Make "git fetch" verify what it received a bit more carefully before |
|
updating the refs in the receiving end. |
|
|
|
Not urgent; the topic came up a bit too late in the cycle. |
|
|
|
* jc/traverse-commit-list (2011-08-22) 3 commits |
|
(merged to 'next' on 2011-08-24 at df50dd7) |
|
+ revision.c: update show_object_with_name() without using malloc() |

|
+ rev-list: fix finish_object() call |
|
(this branch is used by jc/fetch-verify and jc/receive-verify.) |
|
|
|
Not urgent; will not be in 1.7.7. |

|
* fk/make-auto-header-dependencies (2011-08-18) 1 commit |
|
(merged to 'next' on 2011-08-24 at 3da2c25) |
|
+ Makefile: Use computed header dependencies if the compiler supports it |
|
(this branch is used by da/make-auto-header-dependencies.) |
|
|
|
Not urgent; will not be in 1.7.7. |
|
|
|
* mh/iterate-refs (2011-08-14) 6 commits |
|
- Retain caches of submodule refs |
|
- Store the submodule name in struct cached_refs |
|
- Allocate cached_refs objects dynamically |
|
- Change the signature of read_packed_refs() |
|
- Access reference caches only through new function get_cached_refs() |
|
- Extract a function clear_cached_refs() |
|
|
|
I did not see anything fundamentally wrong with this series, but it was |
|
unclear what the benefit of these changes are. If the series were to read |
|
parts of the ref hierarchy (like refs/heads/) lazily, the story would |
|
have been different, though. |
|
|
|
Not urgent; will not be in 1.7.7. |
|
|
|
* hv/submodule-update-none (2011-08-11) 2 commits |
|
(merged to 'next' on 2011-08-24 at 5302fc1) |
|
+ add update 'none' flag to disable update of submodule by default |
|
+ submodule: move update configuration variable further up |
|
|
|
Not urgent; will not be in 1.7.7. |
|
|
|
* jc/lookup-object-hash (2011-08-11) 6 commits |
|
(merged to 'next' on 2011-08-24 at 5825411) |
|
+ object hash: replace linear probing with 4-way cuckoo hashing |
|
+ object hash: we know the table size is a power of two |
|
+ object hash: next_size() helper for readability |
|
+ pack-objects --count-only |
|
+ object.c: remove duplicated code for object hashing |
|
+ object.c: code movement for readability |
|
|
|
I do not think there is anything fundamentally wrong with this series, but |
|
the risk of breakage far outweighs observed performance gain in one |
|
particular workload. Will keep it in 'next' at least for one cycle. |
|
|
|
Not urgent; will not be in 1.7.7. |
|
|
|
* fg/submodule-git-file-git-dir (2011-08-22) 2 commits |
|
(merged to 'next' on 2011-08-23 at 762194e) |
|
+ Move git-dir for submodules |
|
+ rev-parse: add option --resolve-git-dir <path> |
|
|
|
I do not think there is anything fundamentally wrong with this series, but |
|
the risk of breakage outweighs any benefit for having this new |
|
feature. Will keep it in 'next' at least for one cycle. |
|
|
|
Not urgent; will not be in 1.7.7. |
|
|
|
* jk/http-auth-keyring (2011-08-03) 13 commits |
|
(merged to 'next' on 2011-08-03 at b06e80e) |
|
+ credentials: add "getpass" helper |
|
+ credentials: add "store" helper |
|
+ credentials: add "cache" helper |
|
+ docs: end-user documentation for the credential subsystem |
|
+ http: use hostname in credential description |
|
+ allow the user to configure credential helpers |
|
+ look for credentials in config before prompting |
|
+ http: use credential API to get passwords |
|
+ introduce credentials API |
|
+ http: retry authentication failures for all http requests |
|
+ remote-curl: don't retry auth failures with dumb protocol |
|
+ improve httpd auth tests |
|
+ url: decode buffers that are not NUL-terminated |
|
|
|
Looked mostly reasonable except for the limitation that it is not clear |
|
how to deal with a site at which a user needs to use different passwords |
|
for different repositories. Will keep it in "next" at least for one cycle, |
|
until we start hearing real-world success reports on the list. |
|
|
|
Not urgent; will not be in 1.7.7. |
|
|
|
* rr/revert-cherry-pick-continue (2011-08-08) 18 commits |

|
+ revert: Eliminate global "commit" variable |
|
+ revert: Rename no_replay to record_origin |
|
+ revert: Don't check lone argument in get_encoding |
|
+ revert: Simplify and inline add_message_to_msg |
|
+ config: Introduce functions to write non-standard file |
|
+ advice: Introduce error_resolve_conflict |
|
|
|
Will keep it in 'next' at least for one cycle. |
|
Not urgent; will not be in 1.7.7. |
