The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of the integration branches, but I am still holding onto them. Git 2.15.1 has been tagged, with many of the fixes that have already been in 'master'. You can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the repositories listed at http://git-blame.blogspot.com/p/git-public-repositories.html -------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to "master"] * ew/rebase-mboxrd (2017-11-18) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-21 at 88eaaac334) + rebase: use mboxrd format to avoid split errors When "git rebase" prepared an mailbox of changes and fed it to "git am" to replay them, it was confused when a stray "From " happened to be in the log message of one of the replayed changes. This has been corrected. * jc/branch-name-sanity (2017-11-15) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-20 at 7236b0dde3) + builtin/branch: remove redundant check for HEAD + branch: correctly reject refs/heads/{-dash,HEAD} + branch: split validate_new_branchname() into two + branch: streamline "attr_only" handling in validate_new_branchname() "git branch" and "git checkout -b" are now forbidden from creating a branch whose name is "HEAD". * jc/ignore-cr-at-eol (2017-11-08) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-20 at 9f7bae7cbd) + diff: --ignore-cr-at-eol + xdiff: reassign xpparm_t.flags bits The "diff" family of commands learned to ignore differences in carriage return at the end of line. * jc/merge-base-fork-point-doc (2017-11-09) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-20 at 199b9255b4) + merge-base --fork-point doc: clarify the example and failure modes Clarify and enhance documentation for "merge-base --fork-point", as it was clear what it computed but not why/what for. * ks/rebase-no-git-foo (2017-11-21) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-22 at 336552dbb7) + git-rebase: clean up dashed-usages in messages Mentions of "git-rebase" and "git-am" (dashed form) still remained in end-user visible strings emitted by the "git rebase" command; they have been corrected. * ma/branch-list-paginate (2017-11-20) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-22 at eecd7f2369) + branch: change default of `pager.branch` to "on" + branch: respect `pager.branch` in list-mode only + t7006: add tests for how git branch paginates "git branch --list" learned to show its output through the pager by default when the output is going to a terminal, which is controlled by the pager.branch configuration variable. This is similar to a recent change to "git tag --list". * pw/sequencer-recover-from-unlockable-index (2017-11-16) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-20 at 36f0ed26ce) + sequencer: reschedule pick if index can't be locked The sequencer machinery (used by "git cherry-pick A..B", and "git rebase -i", among other things) would have lost a commit if stopped due to an unlockable index file, which has been fixed. * rs/apply-inaccurate-eof-with-incomplete-line (2017-11-17) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-20 at c8aee1d135) + apply: update line lengths for --inaccurate-eof "git apply --inaccurate-eof" when used with "--ignore-space-change" triggered an internal sanity check, which has been fixed. * rs/config-write-section-fix (2017-11-18) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-21 at a7f3f93e0c) + config: flip return value of write_section() There was a recent semantic mismerge in the codepath to write out a section of a configuration section, which has been corrected. * rs/include-comments-before-the-function-header (2017-11-21) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-22 at d7255a836f) + grep: show non-empty lines before functions with -W + grep: update boundary variable for pre-context + t7810: improve check of -W with user-defined function lines + xdiff: show non-empty lines before functions with -W + xdiff: factor out is_func_rec() + t4051: add test for comments preceding function lines "git grep -W", "git diff -W" and their friends learned a heuristic to extend a pre-context beyond the line that matches the "function pattern" (aka "diff.*.xfuncname") to include a comment block, if exists, that immediately precedes it. * rv/sendemail-tocmd-in-config-and-completion (2017-11-14) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-20 at 75cf6e2fc3) + completion: add git config sendemail.tocmd + Documentation/config: add sendemail.tocmd to list preceding "See git-send-email(1)" Teach "sendemail.tocmd" to places that know about "sendemail.to", like documentation and shell completion (in contrib/). * sb/test-cherry-pick-submodule-getting-in-a-way (2017-11-15) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-20 at fe7016689e) + merge-recursive: handle addition of submodule on our side of history + t/3512: demonstrate unrelated submodule/file conflict as cherry-pick failure The three-way merge performed by "git cherry-pick" was confused when a new submodule was added in the meantime, which has been fixed (or "papered over"). * sd/branch-copy (2017-11-16) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-20 at e33bcc460a) + config: avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" pattern Code clean-up. * sw/pull-ipv46-passthru (2017-11-21) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-22 at b06021eeba) + pull: pass -4/-6 option to 'git fetch' Contrary to the documentation, "git pull -4/-6 other-args" did not ask the underlying "git fetch" to go over IPv4/IPv6, which has been corrected. * tb/add-renormalize (2017-11-17) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-20 at e302f3591f) + add: introduce "--renormalize" "git add --renormalize ." is a new and safer way to record the fact that you are correcting the end-of-line convention and other "convert_to_git()" glitches in the in-repository data. * tz/complete-branch-copy (2017-11-17) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-20 at 6d22384fcd) + completion: add '--copy' option to 'git branch' Command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught about the "--copy" option of "git branch". * tz/notes-error-to-stderr (2017-11-15) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-20 at a45d441ee2) + notes: send "Automatic notes merge failed" messages to stderr "git notes" sent its error message to its standard output stream, which was corrected. * tz/redirect-fix (2017-11-14) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-20 at 5b13f7026e) + rebase: fix stderr redirect in apply_autostash() + t/lib-gpg: fix gpgconf stderr redirect to /dev/null A few scripts (both in production and tests) incorrectly redirected their error output. These have been corrected. -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * en/merge-recursive-icase-removal (2017-11-27) 1 commit - merge-recursive: ignore_case shouldn't reject intentional removals The code internal to the recursive merge strategy was not fully prepared to see a path that is renamed to try overwriting another path that is only different in case on case insensitive systems. This does not matter in the current code, but will start to matter once the rename detection logic starts taking hints from nearby paths moving to some directory and moves a new path along with them. * gk/tracing-optimization (2017-11-27) 3 commits - SQUASH??? compilation fix-up - trace: improve performance while category is disabled - trace: remove trace key normalization The tracing infrastructure has been optimized for cases where no tracing is requested. * pc/submodule-helper (2017-11-26) 1 commit - submodule--helper.c: i18n: add a missing space in message A message fix. Will merge to 'next'. * tb/check-crlf-for-safe-crlf (2017-11-27) 1 commit - convert: tighten the safe autocrlf handling The "safe crlf" check incorrectly triggered for contents that does not use CRLF as line endings, which has been corrected. Will merge to 'next'. * tg/t-readme-updates (2017-11-27) 2 commits - t/README: document test_cmp_rev - t/README: remove mention of adding copyright notices Developer doc updates. Will merge to 'next'. * cc/require-tcl-tk-for-build (2017-11-27) 1 commit - Makefile: check that tcl/tk is installed A first-time builder of Git may have installed neither tclsh nor msgfmt, in which case git-gui and gitk part will fail and break the build. As a workaround, refuse to run a build when tclsh is not installed and NO_TCLTK is not set. Undecided. I still feel that requring tclsh to be installed, with or without "escape hatch" for experts, may be too heavy-handed. * mk/http-backend-content-length (2017-11-27) 4 commits - SQUASH??? - t5560-http-backend-noserver.sh: add CONTENT_LENGTH cases - SQUASH??? - http-backend: respect CONTENT_LENGTH as specified by rfc3875 The http-backend (used for smart-http transport) used to slurp the whole input until EOF, without paying attention to CONTENT_LENGTH that is supplied in the environment and instead expecting the Web server to close the input stream. This has been fixed. Expecting a reroll. Suggested fixes to be used when rerolling is queued, but I'd prefer _not_ squashing them myself. * fk/sendmail-from-path (2017-11-28) 1 commit - git-send-email: honor $PATH for sendmail binary "git send-email" tries to see if the sendmail program is available in /usr/lib and /usr/sbin; extend the list of locations to be checked to also include directories on $PATH. Will merge to 'next'. * jk/no-optional-locks (2017-11-27) 1 commit - git-status.txt: mention --no-optional-locks Doc update for a feature available in Git v2.14 and upwards. * jt/diff-anchored-patience (2017-11-28) 1 commit - diff: support anchoring line(s) "git diff" learned a variant of the "--patience" algorithm, to which the user can specify which 'unique' line to be used as anchoring points. * ks/doc-checkout-previous (2017-11-28) 1 commit - Doc/checkout: checking out using @{-N} can lead to detached state @{-N} in "git checkout @{-N}" may refer to a detached HEAD state, but the documentation was not clear about it, which has been fixed. Will merge to 'next'. -------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * jc/merge-symlink-ours-theirs (2017-09-26) 1 commit - merge: teach -Xours/-Xtheirs to symbolic link merge "git merge -Xours/-Xtheirs" learned to use our/their version when resolving a conflicting updates to a symbolic link. Needs review. * mg/merge-base-fork-point (2017-09-17) 3 commits - merge-base: find fork-point outside partial reflog - merge-base: return fork-point outside reflog - t6010: test actual test output "merge-base --fork-point $branch $commit" is used to guess on which commit among the commits that were once at the tip of the $branch the $commit was built on top of, and it learns these historical tips from the reflog of the $branch. When the true fork-point is lost due to pruning of old reflog entries, the command does not give any output, because it has no way to guess correctly and does not want to mislead the user with a wrong guess. The command has been updated to give the best but not known to be correct guess, based on a hope that a merge-base between $commit and a virtual merge across all the reflog entries that still are available for $branch may still be a closer to the true fork-point than the merge-base between $commit and the current tip of the $branch. This may have to be offered by an additional option, to allow the users that are prepared to see a potentially incorrect guess to opt into the feature, without affecting the current callers that may not be prepared to accept a guess that is not known to be correct. What's the doneness of this one? * jk/drop-ancient-curl (2017-08-09) 5 commits - http: #error on too-old curl - curl: remove ifdef'd code never used with curl >=7.19.4 - http: drop support for curl < 7.19.4 - http: drop support for curl < 7.16.0 - http: drop support for curl < 7.11.1 Some code in http.c that has bitrot is being removed. Expecting a reroll. * mk/use-size-t-in-zlib (2017-08-10) 1 commit . zlib.c: use size_t for size The wrapper to call into zlib followed our long tradition to use "unsigned long" for sizes of regions in memory, which have been updated to use "size_t". Needs resurrecting by making sure the fix is good and still applies (or adjusted to today's codebase). * mg/status-in-progress-info (2017-05-10) 2 commits - status --short --inprogress: spell it as --in-progress - status: show in-progress info for short status "git status" learns an option to report various operations (e.g. "merging") that the user is in the middle of. cf. * nd/worktree-move (2017-04-20) 6 commits - worktree remove: new command - worktree move: refuse to move worktrees with submodules - worktree move: accept destination as directory - worktree move: new command - worktree.c: add update_worktree_location() - worktree.c: add validate_worktree() "git worktree" learned move and remove subcommands.

Needs review. * ac/complete-pull-autostash (2017-11-22) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-27 at 802d204eda) + completion: add --autostash and --no-autostash to pull The shell completion (in contrib/) learned that "git pull" can take the "--autostash" option.

It has been taught to do so internally, when able, by reusing the codepath "git commit" itself uses, which gives performance boost for a few tens of percents in some sample scenarios. Will merge to and cook in 'next'. * jk/fewer-pack-rescan (2017-11-22) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-27 at 2c35a2d831) + sha1_file: fast-path null sha1 as a missing object + everything_local: use "quick" object existence check + p5551: add a script to test fetch pack-dir rescans + t/perf/lib-pack: use fast-import checkpoint to create packs + p5550: factor out nonsense-pack creation Internaly we use 0{40} as a placeholder object name to signal the codepath that there is no such object (e.g. the fast-forward check while "git fetch" stores a new remote-tracking ref says "we know there is no 'old' thing pointed at by the ref, as we are creating it anew" by passing 0{40} for the 'old' side), and expect that a codepath to locate an in-core object to return NULL as a sign that the object does not exist. A look-up for an object that does not exist however is quite costly with a repository with large number of packfiles. This access pattern has been optimized. Will merge to 'master'. * jn/ssh-wrappers (2017-11-21) 9 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-27 at 00a2bb7a3c) + connect: correct style of C-style comment + ssh: 'simple' variant does not support --port + ssh: 'simple' variant does not support -4/-6 + ssh: 'auto' variant to select between 'ssh' and 'simple' + connect: split ssh option computation to its own function + connect: split ssh command line options into separate function + connect: split git:// setup into a separate function + connect: move no_fork fallback to git_tcp_connect + ssh test: make copy_ssh_wrapper_as clean up after itself (this branch uses bw/protocol-v1.) The ssh-variant 'simple' introduced earlier broke existing installations by not passing --port/-4/-6 and not diagnosing an attempt to pass these as an error. Instead, default to automatically detect how compatible the GIT_SSH/GIT_SSH_COMMAND is to OpenSSH convention and then error out an invocation to make it easier to diagnose connection errors. Will merge to 'master'. * hm/config-parse-expiry-date (2017-11-18) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-27 at 20014f5541) + config: add --expiry-date "git config --expiry-date gc.reflogexpire" can read "2.weeks" from the configuration and report it as a timestamp, just like "--int" would read "1k" and report 1024, to help consumption by scripts. Will merge to 'master'. * dj/runtime-prefix (2017-11-28) 4 commits - exec_cmd: RUNTIME_PREFIX on some POSIX systems - Makefile: add Perl runtime prefix support - Makefile: add support for "perllibdir" - Makefile: generate Perl header from template file A build-time option has been added to allow Git to be told to refer to its associated files relative to the main binary, in the same way that has been possible on Windows for quite some time, for Linux, BSDs and Darwin. Will merge to 'next'. * jc/editor-waiting-message (2017-11-17) 1 commit - launch_editor(): indicate that Git waits for user input Git shows a message to tell the user that it is waiting for the user to finish editing when spawning an editor, in case the editor opens to a hidden window or somewhere obscure and the user gets lost. Will merge to 'next'. * tz/branch-doc-remove-set-upstream (2017-11-17) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-27 at 8fcad3f6e7) + branch doc: remove --set-upstream from synopsis "git branch --set-upstream" has been deprecated and (sort of) removed, as "--set-upstream-to" is the preferred one these days. The documentation still had "--set-upstream" listed on its synopsys section, which has been corrected. Will merge to 'master'. * en/rename-progress (2017-11-15) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-20 at 77a2e0ddd9) + sequencer: show rename progress during cherry picks + diff: remove silent clamp of renameLimit + progress: fix progress meters when dealing with lots of work + sequencer: warn when internal merge may be suboptimal due to renameLimit Historically, the diff machinery for rename detection had a hardcoded limit of 32k paths; this is being lifted to allow users trade cycles with a (possibly) easier to read result. Will cook in 'next'. * ar/unconfuse-three-dots (2017-11-26) 8 commits - t4013: test new output from diff --abbrev --raw - t4013: prepare for upcoming "diff --raw --abbrev" output format change - Testing: provide existing tests requiring them with ellipses after SHA-1 values - Documentation: git: document GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS - Documentation: revisions: fix typo: "three dot" ---> "three-dot" (in line with "two-dot"). - Documentation: user-manual: limit usage of ellipsis - checkout: describe_detached_head: remove ellipsis after committish - diff: diff_aligned_abbrev: remove ellipsis after abbreviated SHA-1 value Ancient part of codebase still shows dots after an abbreviated object name just to show that it is not a full object name, but these ellipses are confusing to people who newly discovered Git who are used to seeing abbreviated object names and find them confusing with the range syntax. * jh/object-filtering (2017-11-22) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-27 at e5008c3b28) + pack-objects: add list-objects filtering + rev-list: add list-objects filtering support + list-objects: filter objects in traverse_commit_list + oidset: add iterator methods to oidset + oidmap: add oidmap iterator methods + dir: allow exclusions from blob in addition to file (this branch is used by jh/fsck-promisors and jh/partial-clone.) In preparation for implementing narrow/partial clone, the object walking machinery has been taught a way to tell it to "filter" some objects from enumeration. Will merge to 'master'. * jh/fsck-promisors (2017-11-22) 10 commits - gc: do not repack promisor packfiles - rev-list: support termination at promisor objects - sha1_file: support lazily fetching missing objects - introduce fetch-object: fetch one promisor object - index-pack: refactor writing of .keep files - fsck: support promisor objects as CLI argument - fsck: support referenced promisor objects - fsck: support refs pointing to promisor objects - fsck: introduce partialclone extension - extension.partialclone: introduce partial clone extension (this branch is used by jh/partial-clone; uses jh/object-filtering.) In preparation for implementing narrow/partial clone, the machinery for checking object connectivity used by gc and fsck has been taught that a missing object is OK when it is referenced by a packfile specially marked as coming from trusted repository that promises to make them available on-demand and lazily. * jh/partial-clone (2017-11-22) 14 commits - fetch-pack: restore save_commit_buffer after use - unpack-trees: batch fetching of missing blobs - t5500: more tests for partial clone and fetch - t5601: test for partial clone - t5500: add fetch-pack tests for partial clone - fetch: add from_promisor and exclude-promisor-objects parameters - partial-clone: define partial clone settings in config - fetch-pack: test support excluding large blobs - pack-objects: test support for blob filtering - remote-curl: add object filtering for partial clone - fetch: add object filtering for partial fetch - fetch: refactor calculation of remote list - clone, fetch-pack, index-pack, transport: partial clone - upload-pack: add object filtering for partial clone (this branch uses jh/fsck-promisors and jh/object-filtering.) The machinery to clone & fetch, which in turn involves packing and unpacking objects, have been told how to omit certain objects using the filtering mechanism introduced by the jh/object-filtering topic, and also mark the resulting pack as a promisor pack to tolerate missing objects, taking advantage of the mechanism introduced by the jh/fsck-promisors topic. * sb/describe-blob (2017-11-16) 7 commits - builtin/describe.c: describe a blob - builtin/describe.c: factor out describe_commit - builtin/describe.c: print debug statements earlier - builtin/describe.c: rename `oid` to avoid variable shadowing - revision.h: introduce blob/tree walking in order of the commits - list-objects.c: factor out traverse_trees_and_blobs - t6120: fix typo in test name "git describe" was taught to dig trees deeper to find a : that refers to a given blob object. * pb/bisect-helper-2 (2017-10-28) 8 commits - t6030: make various test to pass GETTEXT_POISON tests - bisect--helper: `bisect_start` shell function partially in C - bisect--helper: `get_terms` & `bisect_terms` shell function in C - bisect--helper: `bisect_next_check` shell function in C - bisect--helper: `check_and_set_terms` shell function in C - wrapper: move is_empty_file() and rename it as is_empty_or_missing_file() - bisect--helper: `bisect_write` shell function in C - bisect--helper: `bisect_reset` shell function in C Expecting a reroll. cf. <0102015f5e5ee171-f30f4868-886f-47a1-a4e4-b4936afc545d-000000@eu-west-1.amazonses.com> * ot/mru-on-list (2017-10-01) 1 commit - mru: use double-linked list from list.h The first step to getting rid of mru API and using the doubly-linked list API directly instead. Is there any remaining issues on this one? * jm/svn-pushmergeinfo-fix (2017-09-17) 1 commit - git-svn: fix svn.pushmergeinfo handling of svn+ssh usernames. "git svn dcommit" did not take into account the fact that a svn+ssh:// URL with a username@ (typically used for pushing) refers to the same SVN repository without the username@ and failed when svn.pushmergeinfo option is set. Needs a test, perhaps as a follow-up patch. Will merge to 'next'. * bw/protocol-v1 (2017-10-17) 11 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-27 at 55040d09ec) + Documentation: document Extra Parameters + ssh: introduce a 'simple' ssh variant + i5700: add interop test for protocol transition + http: tell server that the client understands v1 + connect: tell server that the client understands v1 + connect: teach client to recognize v1 server response + upload-pack, receive-pack: introduce protocol version 1 + daemon: recognize hidden request arguments + protocol: introduce protocol extension mechanisms + pkt-line: add packet_write function + connect: in ref advertisement, shallows are last (this branch is used by jn/ssh-wrappers.) A new mechanism to upgrade the wire protocol in place is proposed and demonstrated that it works with the older versions of Git without harming them. Will merge to 'master'. * bc/hash-algo (2017-11-28) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-28 at 5c74632345) + repository: fix a sparse 'using integer as NULL pointer' warning (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-27 at 98cc9ef2a8) + Switch empty tree and blob lookups to use hash abstraction + Integrate hash algorithm support with repo setup + Add structure representing hash algorithm + setup: expose enumerated repo info An infrastructure to define what hash function is used in Git is introduced, and an effort to plumb that throughout various codepaths has been started. Will merge to 'master'. * sb/submodule-recursive-checkout-detach-head (2017-07-28) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-11-27 at 6584ec1a65) + Documentation/checkout: clarify submodule HEADs to be detached + recursive submodules: detach HEAD from new state "git checkout --recursive" may overwrite and rewind the history of the branch that happens to be checked out in submodule repositories, which might not be desirable. Detach the HEAD but still allow the recursive checkout to succeed in such a case. Will merge to 'master'.
