It is likely that I'll be offline for most of the day tomorrow, even though it will be my git Wednesday. -- >8 -- 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. In 1.7.0, we plan to correct handful of warts in the interfaces everybody agrees that they were mistakes. The resulting system may not be strictly backward compatible. Currently planned changes are: * refuse push to update the checked out branch in a non-bare repo by default Make "git push" into a repository to update the branch that is checked out fail by default. You can countermand this default by setting a configuration variable in the receiving repository. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007 * refuse push to delete the current branch by default Make "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch that is pointed at by its HEAD fail by default. You can countermand this default by setting a configuration variable in the receiving repository. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/108862/focus=108936 * git-send-email won't make deep threads by default Many people said that by default when sending more than 2 patches the threading git-send-email makes by default is hard to read, and they prefer the default be one cover letter and each patch as a direct follow-up to the cover letter. You can countermand this by setting a configuration variable. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/109790 * git-status won't be "git-commit --dry-run" anymore http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/125989/focus=125993 * "git-diff -w --exit-code" will exit success if only differences it found are whitespace changes that are stripped away from the output. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/119731/focus=119751 I wasn't fully functioning for the past few days, so this round we have only added new topics and new patches to existing ones, without changing the status of individual topics very much. -------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to "master"] * bs/maint-pre-commit-hook-sample (2009-11-05) 1 commit.

(merged to 'next' on 2009-11-15 at 3a77d01) + git submodule add: make the parameter optional Dscho started an interesting discussion regarding the larger workflow in which the "submodule add" is used. I think the patch itself makes sense but at the same time it probably makes sense to also take the and infer the as Dscho suggested, probably in "git submodule add", not in "git add" proper, at least initially. * sc/protocol-doc (2009-11-03) 1 commit.

I haven't described this at the beginning of this message yet, as it is not clear if this change is even necessary. Opinions? * jk/1.7.0-status (2009-09-05) 5 commits. - docs: note that status configuration affects only long format (merged to 'next' on 2009-10-11 at 65c8513) + commit: support alternate status formats + status: add --porcelain output format + status: refactor format option parsing + status: refactor short-mode printing to its own function (this branch uses jc/1.7.0-status.) Gives the --short output format to post 1.7.0 "git commit --dry-run" that is similar to that of post 1.7.0 "git status". The tip one is not in 'next' as I have been hoping that somebody may want to change the code to make it unnecessary, but it does not seem to be happening, so probably it should also go to 'next'. * jc/1.7.0-status (2009-09-05) 4 commits.

It is a backward incompatible change, but we could argue that it is a bugfix. * jc/1.7.0-push-safety (2009-02-09) 2 commits. (merged to 'next' on 2009-10-11 at 81b8128) + Refuse deleting the current branch via push + Refuse updating the current branch in a non-bare repository via push -------------------------------------------------- [I have been too busy to purge these] * ne/rev-cache (2009-10-19) 7 commits. . support for commit grafts, slight change to general mechanism . support for path name caching in rev-cache . full integration of rev-cache into git, completed test suite . administrative functions for rev-cache, start of integration into git . support for non-commit object caching in rev-cache . basic revision cache system, no integration or features . man page and technical discussion for rev-cache The author indicated that there is another round coming. Does not seem to pass the tests when merged to 'pu', so it has been ejected for now. * jc/log-tz (2009-03-03) 1 commit. - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected Maybe some people care about this. I dunno. * jc/mailinfo-remove-brackets (2009-07-15) 1 commit. - mailinfo: -b option keeps [bracketed] strings that is not a [PATCH] marker Maybe some people care about this. I dunno. * pb/gitweb-no-project-list (2009-11-06) 3 commits. . gitweb: Polish the content tags support . gitweb: Support for no project list on gitweb front page . gitweb: Refactor project list routines I picked these up but didn't queue as Warthog9's comments made certain amount of sense to me.
