I am punting on unpack-trees related D/F issues for 1.5.3. We |
|
|
might end up rewriting read-tree after the release. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Pushing into a 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. |

* git-daemon bug? |

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

* "pure" clones, that does not know about where it was cloned |
|
|
from. Specifically, no [remote "origin"] in .git/config, nor |
|
|
refs/remotes/origin. |

|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
* "git clone" should be a thin wrapper around init/remote/fetch/checkout |

|
|
|
|
|
* 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. |
