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 planeed 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 -------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to "master"] * jp/maint-send-email-fold (2009-10-08) 1 commit. + git-send-email.perl: fold multiple entry "Cc:" and multiple single line "RCPT TO:"s * pv/maint-add-p-no-exclude (2009-10-10) 1 commit.

(merged to 'next' on 2009-10-11 at 7f34fb3) + diff -B: colour whitespace errors + diff.c: emit_add_line() takes only the rest of the line + diff.c: split emit_line() from the first char and the rest of the line + diff.c: shuffling code around + diff --whitespace: fix blank lines at end + core.whitespace: split trailing-space into blank-at-{eol,eof} + diff --color: color blank-at-eof + diff --whitespace=warn/error: fix blank-at-eof check + diff --whitespace=warn/error: obey blank-at-eof + diff.c: the builtin_diff() deals with only two-file comparison + apply --whitespace: warn blank but not necessarily empty lines at EOF + apply --whitespace=warn/error: diagnose blank at EOF + apply.c: split check_whitespace() into two + apply --whitespace=fix: detect new blank lines at eof correctly + apply --whitespace=fix: fix handling of blank lines at the eof (this branch is used by jc/maint-blank-at-eof.) This is a fix for an ancient bug (or inconsistent set of features); the topic is based on an ancient codebase and is designed to be merged upwards. jc/maint-blank-at-eof serves that purpose. -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * ak/bisect-reset-to-switch (2009-10-13) 1 commit. - bisect reset: Allow resetting to any commit, not just a branch * fc/doc-fast-forward (2009-10-11) 1 commit. - user-manual: use 'fast-forward' * gb/maint-gitweb-esc-param (2009-10-13) 1 commit.

This holds the remainder of the db/vcs-helper topic that has already merged in 1.6.5. If people want to replace this with improvements it would be a good time to do so. * jl/submodule-add-noname (2009-09-22) 1 commit. - 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. * sr/gfi-options (2009-09-06) 6 commits. - fast-import: test the new option command - fast-import: add option command - fast-import: test the new feature command - fast-import: add feature command - fast-import: put marks reading in it's own function - fast-import: put option parsing code in separate functions (this branch is used by jh/notes.) Ejected from 'next' as fast-import folks still seem to be discussing with how to proceed. * je/send-email-no-subject (2009-08-05) 1 commit. (merged to 'next' on 2009-10-11 at 1b99c56) + send-email: confirm on empty mail subjects The existing tests cover the positive case (i.e. as long as the user says "yes" to the "do you really want to send this message that lacks subject", the message is sent) of this feature, but the feature itself needs its own test to verify the negative case (i.e. does it correctly stop if the user says "no"?) * jh/cvs-helper (2009-08-18) 8 commits. - More fixes to the git-remote-cvs installation procedure - Fix the Makefile-generated path to the git_remote_cvs package in git-remote-cvs - Add simple selftests of git-remote-cvs functionality - git-remote-cvs: Remote helper program for CVS repositories - 2/2: Add Python support library for CVS remote helper - 1/2: Add Python support library for CVS remote helper - Basic build infrastructure for Python scripts - Allow helpers to request marks for fast-import (this branch uses db/vcs-helper-rest.)

Introduce new pretty formats %g[sdD] for reflog information . reflog-walk: refactor the branch@{num} formatting . Refactor pretty_print_commit arguments into a struct Expecting a re-roll. * ks/precompute-completion (2009-10-05) 1 commit. (merged to 'next' on 2009-10-14 at adf722a) + Speedup bash completion loading * sp/smart-http (2009-10-14) 17 commits - Smart HTTP fetch: gzip requests - Smart fetch over HTTP: client side - Smart push over HTTP: client side - Discover refs via smart HTTP server when available - Smart fetch and push over HTTP: server side - Add stateless RPC options to upload-pack, receive-pack - Git-aware CGI to provide dumb HTTP transport - Move WebDAV HTTP push under remote-curl - remote-helpers: Support custom transport options - remote-helpers: Fetch more than one ref in a batch - fetch: Allow transport -v -v -v to set verbosity to 3 - remote-curl: Refactor walker initialization - Add multi_ack_detailed capability to fetch-pack/upload-pack - Move "get_ack()" back to fetch-pack - fetch-pack: Use a strbuf to compose the want list - pkt-line: Make packet_read_line easier to debug - pkt-line: Add strbuf based functions * ef/msys-imap (2009-10-13) 8 commits. - MSVC: Enable OpenSSL, and translate -lcrypto - mingw: enable OpenSSL - mingw: wrap SSL_set_(w|r)fd to call _get_osfhandle - imap-send: build imap-send on Windows - imap-send: fix compilation-error on Windows - imap-send: use run-command API for tunneling - imap-send: use separate read and write fds - imap-send: remove useless uid code Is this good to go yet? * mr/gitweb-snapshot (2009-09-26) 2 commits. - gitweb: append short hash ids to snapshot files (merged to 'next' on 2009-10-11 at 22ba047) + gitweb: check given hash before trying to create snapshot * jc/pretty-lf (2009-10-04) 1 commit. - Pretty-format: %[+-]x to tweak inter-item newlines * js/log-rewrap (2008-11-10) 2 commits - Add strbuf_add_wrapped_text() to utf8.[ch] - print_wrapped_text(): allow hard newlines (this branch is used by jc/strbuf-nested-expand.) * js/diff-verbose-submodule (2009-10-14) 4 commits. - add tests for git diff --submodule-summary - fix output for deleted submodules in git diff --submodule-summary - fix indentation depth for git diff --submodule-summary - Add the --submodule-summary option to the diff option family There was an attempted re-roll and it looked very promising with a minor fix-up, but I ran out of time to pick it up and unilaterally tweaking it. Waiting for a response. * jc/fix-tree-walk (2009-09-14) 10 commits. - read-tree --debug-unpack (merged to 'next' on 2009-10-11 at 0b058e2) + unpack-trees.c: look ahead in the index + unpack-trees.c: prepare for looking ahead in the index + Aggressive three-way merge: fix D/F case + traverse_trees(): handle D/F conflict case sanely + more D/F conflict tests + tests: move convenience regexp to match object names to test-lib.sh + unpack_callback(): use unpack_failed() consistently + unpack-trees: typofix + diff-lib.c: fix misleading comments on oneway_diff() This is my replacement for Linus's lt/maint-traverse-trees-fix patch. It is not so much as a counter-proposal; I originally thought it might make sense to walk the index and drive the walker to return the entries from trees to match entries from the index, but I ended up doing pretty much what Linus outlined --- walk the trees, and have the index walker follow it. It turned out that the index side also needed some hairy look-ahead, This includes the fix to aggressive mode of three-way merge used by the resolve strategy. * jh/notes (2009-10-09) 22 commits. - fast-import: Proper notes tree manipulation using the notes API - Refactor notes concatenation into a flexible interface for combining notes - Notes API: Allow multiple concurrent notes trees with new struct notes_tree - Notes API: for_each_note(): Traverse the entire notes tree with a callback - Notes API: get_note(): Return the note annotating the given object - Notes API: add_note(): Add note objects to the internal notes tree structure - Notes API: init_notes(): Initialize the notes tree from the given notes ref - Notes API: get_commit_notes() -> format_note() + remove the commit restriction - Add selftests verifying concatenation of multiple notes for the same commit - Refactor notes code to concatenate multiple notes annotating the same object - Add selftests verifying that we can parse notes trees with various fanouts - Teach the notes lookup code to parse notes trees with various fanout schemes - Teach notes code to free its internal data structures on request - Add '%N'-format for pretty-printing commit notes - Add flags to get_commit_notes() to control the format of the note string - t3302-notes-index-expensive: Speed up create_repo() - fast-import: Add support for importing commit notes - Teach "-m " and "-F " to "git notes edit" - Add an expensive test for git-notes - Speed up git notes lookup - Add a script to edit/inspect notes - Introduce commit notes (this branch uses sr/gfi-options.) Is this good for 'next' now? * jn/gitweb-blame (2009-09-01) 5 commits. - gitweb: Minify gitweb.js if JSMIN is defined - gitweb: Create links leading to 'blame_incremental' using JavaScript (merged to 'next' on 2009-10-11 at 73c4a83) + gitweb: Colorize 'blame_incremental' view during processing + gitweb: Incremental blame (using JavaScript) + gitweb: Add optional "time to generate page" info in footer Ajax-y blame. * nd/sparse (2009-08-20) 19 commits. - sparse checkout: inhibit empty worktree - Add tests for sparse checkout - read-tree: add --no-sparse-checkout to disable sparse checkout support - unpack-trees(): ignore worktree check outside checkout area - unpack_trees(): apply $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout to the final index - unpack-trees(): "enable" sparse checkout and load $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout - unpack-trees.c: generalize verify_* functions - unpack-trees(): add CE_WT_REMOVE to remove on worktree alone - Introduce "sparse checkout" - dir.c: export excluded_1() and add_excludes_from_file_1() - excluded_1(): support exclude files in index - unpack-trees(): carry skip-worktree bit over in merged_entry() - Read .gitignore from index if it is skip-worktree - Avoid writing to buffer in add_excludes_from_file_1() - Teach Git to respect skip-worktree bit (writing part) - Teach Git to respect skip-worktree bit (reading part) - Introduce "skip-worktree" bit in index, teach Git to get/set this bit - Add test-index-version - update-index: refactor mark_valid() in preparation for new options -------------------------------------------------- [For 1.7.0] * 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". * 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] * jc/log-tz (2009-03-03) 1 commit. - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected Maybe some people care about this.
