What's in git.git (stable frozen)

[Junio C Hamano]

There shouldn't be anything eye-popping.  Hopefully we can do
the final soonish, perhaps this weekend.

I may have made small touch-ups to a few commits, so please
check them over.

Thanks.

But why reinitialize libcurl at all in the first place? This "work-around"
should rather be the standard behavior since there should be no logical reason 
to re-initialize libcurl's global state during a git's execution.

Even though Mike correctly identified a libcurl bug, it also indirectly 
identified a git flaw: re-initialization with the curl_global_* functions is 
pointless and only wastes time.

Which means there remains only one initialization. I agree it's not a
workaround anymore, but the word remained from the 3 previous attempts,
which were workarounds.

What's in git.git (stable)

[Junio C Hamano]

I'll hopefully soon apply the RPM spec patch from Kristian
Høgsberg to 'maint' and cut 1.5.4.2.  It will have bunch of
config parser related fixes among others.

On the 'master' front, a handful topics have graduated:

 - Brian Downing's compat/qsort;
 - Crhstian Couder's browser wrapper;
 - Paolo Bonzini's prepare-commit-msg hook;
 - Steffen Prohaska's safe-crlf;
 - "foo/" in .gitignore matches directory "foo".

Also, updated versions of gitk and git-gui are included.

Have fun.

IIRC there was also request for proper solution; this was more a hack.

It is not a hack at all.

The more fundamental improvement was along the lines of what I
suggested soon after Kristian's initial round was posted, but
what the current code does is not wrong nor hack.  It is about a
partial commit after all and is not performance critical either.

You mean: at this point, it is not necessary to be careful about the 
index, as the index that will be reloaded will already have the most 
recent timestamps, right?

I do not understand the question, but if you are referring to my
"not performance critical", I meant: "A partial commit is
never performance critical".

A partial commit is by its nature "oops, I earlier told you to
git add this and git add that but I did not mean that, eh, I do
mean it but not for this commit yet, sorry, I want to commit
changes to these paths first please and then I'll deal with the
earlier added paths in later commit perhaps.", i.e. very
interactive.  Its performance requirement is unlike an automated
script slurping hundreds of changes per minute applying exactly
the change it wants in each commit to the index and making
commits in rapid succession.

Well, my workflow has lots of these moments.  I do not even feel "oops" 
about it.  More like "by the way, this needs committing _now_".

So I guess I'll be the guinea pig for this patch, and if it is too 
painful, I'll just go and fix it.

Just to be clear, this patch discards the cache after preparing the
partial index but before doing the status. This is in contrast to the
current 'master' and v1.5.4, which discard the cache _three_ times
during the status process.

So no, the performance will probably not be a big deal. It is better
than it has been in any released version of git.

... but then goes through big pains to reconstruct an index that needs as 
little updating as possible.

I'll see, and report back.

IOW I think that your patch is necessary.  There might be some followup 
work to do for me, but at the moment, your patch fixes an existing bug.

The current 'master' meaning before 959ba67 (commit: discard
index after setting up partial commit), right?

I've been hoping that when this turns out to be Ok it would be
worth cherry-picking to 'maint' before 1.5.4.3.

Heh. Yes. The current 'master' meaning 'the current master when I wrote

What's in git.git (stable)

[Junio C Hamano]

With a handful of fixes and RPM specfile updates, we would
probably want to do 1.5.4.3 in a week or so from 'maint'.

A handful of new topics are now on 'master', and the ones still
on 'next' are maturing with necessary fixes.  I think we have
enough material for 1.5.5 when they graduate, and I am hoping to
do an rc1 sometime early to mid next month.  We'll see.

[Junio C Hamano]

For the next maintenance release v1.5.4.4, I made a few
cherry-picks from 'master' and also a merge down of a topic
branch that has been cooking there, to 'maint'.

On the 'master' front, many topics have been merged.  With a few
more topics that are still in 'next', we are pretty much done
feature-wise for the next feature release v1.5.5.

[Junio C Hamano]

The 'master' has, aside from trivial fixes and enhancements, the following
topics that have been cooking:

 * "verify-pack" improvements;

 * "describe" that warns about a tag whose name and path contradict;

 * "describe --long" to show an tagged commit as $tag-0-$sha1;

 * "cvsimport -M" can be given more than once;

 * "gitweb" grep-search improvements;

A handful of the topics are meant also for 'maint'; after seeing no
complaints for a while they will be merged to 'maint' as part of the next
maintenance release v1.5.4.4.

I should probably do a 1.5.4.4 shortly from 'maint' to flush accumulated
fixes.  There is nothing major, but send-email regression fix deserves to
be delibered sooner to the end users.

On the 'master', we briefly had a faulty receive-pack to cause a small
pushes to fail, but that glitch has been reverted.  Also fixed was a
git-describe not quite working when your tags are packed (e.g. after
git-gc).

There are about half a dozen topics that need to be merged to 'maint'

are already in 'master' and we haven't heard about breakages with them.

We still have remaining fixes and a handful backports (cherry-picks) from
'master' to 'maint', and we would probably need v1.5.4.5 shortly.

On the 'master' front, we have git-gui updates, more bash completion, and
a few recent graduates (rewrite of unpack_trees(), reimplementation of
git-remote).

 * gitk, git-gui and git-p4 have been updated.

 * "git gc --auto" annoyance is hopefully reduced away.

 * Breakage in automated tag following by git-fetch rewritten in C has
   hopefully been fixed.

 * Quite a few portability improvements from Solaris porting efforts.

 * "git remote show" does not talk about symrefs anymore.

 * "git help" updates to plug in more backends.

 * "git submodule summary" to show symmetric differences between commits
   in submodules.

What's in git.git (stable)

[Junio C Hamano]

Again with a handful fixes, the most important of which is for regression
introduced in 1.5.4 to "git fetch" (if you are using .git/branches/it to
name your remote repositories, "git fetch it" should update your local
"it" branch but it doesn't since the breakage), maybe we would need
another maintenance branch soon from 'maint'.

With fixes to a handful regressions in the changes that happened during
the 1.5.5 cycle, 'master' is nearling -rc2, which hopefully will happen
soon.  There still are one or two topics we may want to merge from 'next',
but at this point both testers and developers are encouraged to switch to
'master' if you have been using 'next' for your real work to catch the
last minute glitches.

0.10 is a dud on Linux.  My master branch has a bug fix, but I'm
considering bringing in Michele's patch before tagging 0.10.1.

So 0.10.1, most likely tagged in a few hours, should be in 1.5.5.
Otherwise Linux users of git-gui will be sort of pissed.

Damn.

What's in git.git (stable frozen)

[Junio C Hamano]

There are a good deal of bugfixes in 'master', the largest of
which is Brandon Casey's fix to builtin-commit and others'
misuse of lockfile API.  A tentative fix for the issue was
pushed out last night but the approach has known issues for our
Windowsy friends, and this attempts to address them.

We've been taking pride that the tip of 'master' is always,
without regression, more stable than any released version, but
today's one might have uncovered glitches.  Please help testing
it so that we do not have to leave it broken for a long time if
it indeed is.

I spent quite a lot of time trying to come up with a simple
reproduction recipe for the builtin-commit breakage, but I
couldn't.  I also wanted to apply the patch to remove the use
(but not implementation) of repo-config along with a removal
notice in the release notes but haven't got around to.

Aside from obviously correct trivial fixes that may come from
the list, what currently is not in 'master' but should be in the
rc4 are very minimal.  Brandon Casey's lockfile fix needs to be
tested for some time, repo-config deprecation notice needs to be
posted, and "\C-+" patch for gitk needs to be pulled from Paul.
I see French translation for git-gui in Shawn's repository, but
I do not know if it, along with other changes to git-gui, are
meant for 1.5.4 or not.  If they are, I'd like to include them
all before tagging rc4.

Except for the NO_MMAP issue introduced by c3b0dec509f that kills
git-fast-import in t9301* as discussed in a parallel thread, all tests
pass on Windows (MinGW port). This is a good sign since most, if not all,
issues around the lockfile API have been discovered by the test suite in
the past.

In lockfile.c:commit_locked_index()

You didn't include the portion of your patch that
assigned NULL to alternate_index_output before
attempting to close and rename.

Should that be included?

You are right, but that is a separate topic and should be a
separate patch, so I dropped the hunk from that commit.

[Junio C Hamano]

* The 'maint' branch has just produced the 1.5.3.5 release.

* The 'master' branch has these since the last announcement
  in addition to what's in 1.5.3.5.

  - git-bisect enhancements to support "git bisect skip".
  - git-fetch rewritten in C for performance and portability.
  - git-svnimport is no more --- use git-svn.
  - git-send-pack does not update the tracking ref on the local
    side for failed push (needs cherry-picking to 'maint').
  - git-rebase does not choke when $GIT_DIR has whitespace in it
    (needs cherry-picking to 'maint').
  - optimize rename detection.
  - comes with updated gitk.

  The above list makes me realize that it probably is a good
  time to start freezing things for 1.5.4.  Tonight's "What's

  'master' before that happens.

What's in git.git (stable)

[Junio C Hamano]

On 'master' front:

 - git-p4 in contrib/ has updates.  As I cannot test it myself
   and did not hear any success/failure stories from the list,
   the only way to make sure is to push it out and see if
   anybody screams.

 - "git lost-found" is going to be deprecated (not removed) in
   the next feature release.

 - Unspecified clean.requireForce defaults to true; this would
   make "git clean" require "-f" by default.

 - "git send-email --suppress-from" does not CC yourself even
   when your name is on S-o-b: or Cc: lines in the body of the
   message.

What's in git.git (stable)

[Junio C Hamano]

There are quite a few backported fixes on 'maint' and it might make
sense to cut 1.5.3.7 soon.

On 'master' front, many topics that have been cooking in 'next' have
graduated.  Notably:

 - git-bisect learns "skip";

 - git-rebase --skip does not need "reset --hard" beforehand;

 - git-clean is now in C;

 - git-push is much more careful reporting errors and updateing tracking
   refs.

 - git-push learns --mirror option.

Also contains the 0.9.0 series of git-gui with i18n.

What's in git.git (stable)

[Junio C Hamano]

Nothing exciting on 'maint' since 1.5.3.7.

On the 'master' front, we will soon be in feature freeze for 1.5.4.
Many topics that have been cooking in 'next' has been pushed out.  This
round it is a rather large batch but hopefully it will not destabilize
it too much.  Knock wood.

 * "git pull --rebase" is a different way to integrate what you fetched
   into your current branch.

 * "git fast-export" produces datastream that can be fed to fast-import
   to reproduce the history recorded in a git repository.

 * gitk is now merged as a subdirectory of git.git project, in
   preparation for its i18n.

 * Value "true" for color.diff and color.status configuration used to
   mean "always" (even when the output is not going to a terminal).
   This has been corrected to mean the same thing as "auto".

 * "git commit --allow-empty" allows you to create a single-parent
   commit that records the same tree as its parent, overriding the usual
   safety valve.

 * "git stash random-text" does not create a new stash anymore.  It was
   a UI mistake.  Use "git stash save random-text", or "git stash"
   (without extra args) for that.

 * HTTP proxy can be specified per remote repository using
   remote.*.proxy configuration, or global http.proxy configuration
   variable.

 * "git rebase -i" also triggers rerere to help you repeated merges.

 * "git prune --expire <time>" can exempt young loose objects from
   getting pruned.

 * "git branch --contains <commit>" can list branches that are
   descendants of a given commit.

* The 'maint' branch has these fixes since the last announcement.

One more topic remains in 'next' before 1.5.4-rc0 where "bugfix only"

coming up with new topics from now on.

The tip of 'master' is now tagged as 1.5.4-rc0.  Tarballs are found in
the usual places:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

  git-1.5.4.rc0.tar.{gz,bz2}			(tarball)
  git-htmldocs-1.5.4.rc0.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  git-manpages-1.5.4.rc0.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)

I've also built a set of preview RPM packages.  They are found in:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/testing/

I am not an RPM person.  It would be really appreciated if experts help
out finding and fixing any bug in the packaging.  I do not want to
repeat the firefighting we needed with 1.5.3.1.

[Junio C Hamano]

Sorry for the "\No newline at the end" brown paper bag bug, which
happened soon after -rc0 but now fixed.  Thanks Jeff.

"git diff --check" was inconsistent with the highlighting of whitespace
problems and was harder to use from scripts (which makes it a usability
bug).  Both have been fixed.  Thanks Wincent.

A handful "gitweb" fixes I forgot to apply earlier are now in.  Thanks
Jakub.

A "git commit" regression has been noticed --- the post-commit summary
was inconsistent with what is shown by git-status before making the
commit.  Thanks Daniel.

A workaround for massive commit that exceeds command line limit when
issuing "cvs status list-of-files" has been added.  Thanks Jeff.

Hopefully the final round of clean-up until 1.5.4 in whitespace area has
been applied.  Thanks Wincent and Bruce.

I am reasonably happy that we are finding and fixing bugs.  Please keep
the fixes, including documentation updates, flowing in.

 * "git -p ls-tree HEAD" in a bare repository is still not fixed.

Stabilization cycle towards -rc2 continues.

The main point of -rc cycle is regression fixes and general
bugfixes, although a few new features managed to slip in.

 - diff.external configuration variable serves the same purpose
   as GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment;

 - "git diff --src-prefix=l/ --dst-prefix=k/" can be used to
   change the usual prefix (i.e. a/foo vs. b/foo).

What's in git.git (stable frozen)

[Junio C Hamano]

We are not at -rc3 yet, but we will be soon.  What we have
accumulated in 'master' are mostly fixes, and the official
git-gui 0.9.1 is also included tonight.

I have to apologize that tonight I got a bit carried away
enjoying arguing for the sake of arguing.  Some patches that
might be worthy even though they are late in the cycle are not
in tonight's 'master', mostly because I have to sleep on them,
and partly because I am running out of time tonight.

 * Tsugikazu Shibata's git-diff hunk header change.

   I have a counterproposal that I think is more in line with
   the other parts of the system.  As the kernel project has
   ja_JP, ko_KR and zh_CN directories under Documentation these
   days, the issue this patch addresses is already real, and we
   would want to have a solution in 1.5.4, even though the topic
   was raised too late in the cycle.  I think my first two
   patches could be a good starting point for that.  I'd exclude
   the last patch in the series that acts on gitattributes for
   now.

 * Marco's git-stash changes to output to stdout.

   I'd probably apply this, with a slightly toned down commit
   log message.  Marco says some practice is standard, I
   disagreed, but that is not a reason to say "this practice is
   nonstandard and bad".  Simply saying "some do this and it is
   better to be helpful to them because there is no strong
   reason not to" would be good enough.

 * Jeff's git-add--interactive change to always honor color.diff
   regardless of color.interactive.

   I'd probably apply this, along with the patch to redefine
   what color.interactive means.  "git am -i" could also learn
   to use colors in the future.

   Incidentally I noticed that many of the color.diff.* palette
   options are read by "git-add -i" but never used by the
   script.  We might want to fix this while we are at it.

 * Dan McGee's workaround to breakage caused by changes in
   AsciiDoc 8.2.3.

   I have to do my usual "before-and-after comparison" with
   copies of AsciiDoc versions that should not be affected by
   the breakage, which I did not have time to do so far.  But
   this is probably a must-have before the release.

 * My patch to error out "git stash clear foobar".

   This should be applied; it is a good safety measure
   regardless of where that "git stash drop" thing would go.

An issue worth addressing before the release is still in limbo.

 * Dmitry's git-filter-branch fix to disambiguate the refs being
   rewritten.

   Addition of "git-rev-parse --symbolic-full" may solve this
   more cleanly than the patches in the discussion, but we
   haven't reached the conclusion of this thread yet.

Anything I missed?

I've updated the patch a bit as I noticed I completely missed the
user-manual.txt and a handful of other files that weren't named
git-*.txt. The new version is attached (gzipped). I also included
instructions on how to regenerate it in the commit message, which may
be a wise idea to ensure no Documentation changes add a gitlink: call
between now and when you apply the patch.

The asciidoc.conf change I resurrected from the earlier one but
it appears this breaks build with asciidoc 7.1.2 for some reason
(I haven't looked into that myself yet, and I won't be for the
next 12 hours or so).

Ah, I spoke too fast.  I think I need to first do a clean-up
patch to fix "gitlink::foobar[1]" that should have been spelled
as "gitlink:foobar[1]" in a few places, and your change is good.

It looks like I still blew it and forgot the changes in asciidoc.conf
in the second patch, sorry about that. Let me know if you need
anything more, although this patch is pretty straightforward (once I
spent 3 hours trying to figure out why it was broken in the first
place and attempting to find a more sane way around it).

I think I got all of what you wanted to do now, although my tree
still is not in a shape I can push it out yet (I have to whip
other parts that does not have anything to do with this

How about the one that fixes first and see how bad the remainder
looks again?  I recall that Réne were not entirely unhappy with
his last round.  And I do not think that change does not have to
be "a series" but can be a single change.  At least it did not
look so complicated, but I may be misremembering it.

Here is the palette cleanup patch, on top of my others (it should still
be done even if the other patches aren't taken, but backporting it
should be fairly obvious).

add--interactive: remove unused diff colors

When color support was added, we colored the diffs
ourselves. However, 4af756f3 changed this to simply run
"git diff-files" twice, keeping the colored output
separately.

This makes the internal diff color variables obsolete with
one exception: when splitting hunks, we have to manually
recreate the fragment for each part of the split. Thus we
keep $fraginfo_color around to do that correctly.

And while tracking down the $fraginfo usage, I noticed that my original
patches introduce a bug. Fix is below (it is on top of palette cleanup).

I can also resubmit these in a more sensible order (palette cleanup,
then the other three squashed together) if you prefer.

add--interactive: colorize split hunk fragment headers

The only diff element which we still color in perl is the
"fraginfo" for the split hunks. When honoring color.diff
without color.interactive, we were failing to actually color
this because the "colored" function checks for interactive
color. Instead, let's just color it by hand (the simple
approach is OK because we know we have a single line
string).

Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
---
This is a little uglier than it could be because the "colored" function
does two things: correctly colorize a string, and check the global
$use_color. We could do something like:

  local $use_color = 1;
  $display_head = colored($fraginfo_color, $head);

which is arguably less ugly. Or we could refactor "colored", which is a

That fallout is a logical consequence of the semantics change of
color.interactive, which used to color the whole user experience
but now only covers about menus and stuff.  $use_color is still
tied to the former semantics.

It may make more sense to:

 * unset $prompt_color and friends when color.interactive says
   "not to color the menus";

 * unset $fraginfo_color and diff related ones when color.diff
   says "diff is monochrome";

upfront, and then change "sub colored" to just check if $color
is unset, instead of checking $use_color.

Something like this (instead of my last patch):

-- >8 --
add--interactive: fix "colored" function semantics

Since color.interactive is just for the menus, the "colored"
function can't use it to determine whether to show colors
(this was visible as a bug in which the headers of split
hunks were not colored if color.diff was set but
color.interactive was not).

The new semantics are:

  - colors which are unused are set to undef; the "colored"
    function knows not to do anything with them

  - menu colors are set only when color.interactive is true

  - diff colors are set only when color.diff is true

Yeah, I like that much better, especially the renaming of

I might consider rewriting this part

like this:

	my ($prompt_color, $header_color, $help_color, $fraginfo_color);
        if ($colored_prompt) {
        	$prompt_color = ...;
                $header_color = ...;
        }
	if ($colored_diff) {
        	$fraginfo_color = ...;
	}

or even like this:

	my (%palette);
        if ($colored_prompt) {
		my %default = (
                	prompt => 'bold blue',
                        header => 'bold',
                        ...
		);
                while (my ($k,$v) = each %default) {
                    $palette{$k} = $repo->get_color("color.interactive.$k",$v);
		}
	}

But I realize that's going overboard.  Certainly the last one is
doing unnecessary generalization for generalization's sake.

I thought that, too, but I didn't know what better word to use
(something like "display" doesn't make it clear that it doesn't involve
the diff).

Actually, that's more or less how it's written before my patch (in fact,
you could eliminate that part of my patch and just move $normal_color
outside of the conditional). However I didn't like having the
declaration and the assignment so far apart (and duplicated). But I will
admit my version is a little nested. Please feel free to switch it when
you apply.

Yes, I considered making a %palette, as well, but it just seemed a
little gratuitous (and the nice thing about using variables is that they
catch typos better).

Yes, to a certain extent with Perl (I think if you make the same
typo twice you won't get much help, and that is quite easy to
trigger with variable name autocompletion and cut-and-paste).

I suspect "if (!$menu_use_color)" might need to be refined in
sub "highlight_prefix".  It should be tied with $prompt_color
somehow (i.e. either it is undef or the "plain" color),
shouldn't it?

But other than that the result looks quite nice.  I shuffled the
patches around and the resulting series consists of three patches:

 - "remove unused diff colors";

 - "color.diff" colors diff, "color.interactive" colors
   interaction (squashed the original with change to the "sub
   colored" to use palette setting instead of $use_color as the
   cue);

 - documentation update to redefine the color.interactive
   semantics;

Yes, and a static checking language would be a little less error-prone.
But who can live without "eval <STDIN>"? :)

I'm not sure. It avoids printing the brackets in "[p]atch". If you say
"use color, but make the color plain" does that mean you want brackets
or not (right now it will not show brackets)?

Great. That is the order I would have chosen as well (and hopefully I
gave you enough material in the commit messages to cut and paste
something sensible).

I've applied all the leftover bits I mentioned in yesterday's
message and 'master' tonight is pretty much where I want it to
be in 1.5.4-rc3 (and in 1.5.4 final).

Subsystem people (except Shawn, whose git-gui 0.9.1 is already
in) are requested to tell me to pull from them, if they have
accumulated changes that should be in the final release.  I am
hoping that I can tag -rc3 in a few days (say by the end of my
Wednesday).

I'd like you to do a pull from the gitk.git master branch, but it
looks to me like there will be a conflict on the Makefile.
Unfortunately the Makefile that Christian Stimming gave me along with
the i18n changes is quite different from the one you currently have in
the gitk-git subdirectory.  I'm not quite sure what to suggest since
it isn't clear to me exactly what Christian's Makefile (which doesn't
actually work) is trying to do.  I guess the best thing would be to
copy your Makefile over and then add the i18n stuff.

Apart from the i18n changes, there is one more commit (b039f0a6) that
improves the appearance slightly when running under Tk8.5.

Paul.

The Makefile from me was merely a placeholder where the i18n programs should 
work, but it was clear that the installation rules need to be defined 
differently anyway.

Yes. I've just sent you a patch that does exactly this - that was what I 
thought, too.

Are you going to release a i18n-enabled gitk sometime soon? If yes, you should 
consider notifying the translator(s) a few days in advance so that they can 
finalize their translations, in case they want to avoid a half-translated 
program to be shipped. Thanks a lot.

Thanks both of you.

If I understand correctly, what Paul told me to pull contains
the i18n stuff, so assuming your adjustment to gitk Makefile
makes things cleanly merge and build inside git.git repository,
upcoming 1.5.4-rc3 will ship with the infrastructure and
existing translations, and updates to po/ files can be made
between -rc3 and the final (I do not mean there won't be -rc4.
That is also "between -rc3 and final").
