Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. I think I correctly inherited all the topics Jonathan kept track of during my absence (big thanks to Jonathan); if a topic that has been in his tree is missing, please holler. I am chewing through the list backlog but still have a long way to go. Please be patient for the rest of the week. 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 -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * fc/styles (2013-10-16) 7 commits - block-sha1/sha1.c: have SP around arithmetic operators - base85.c: have SP around arithmetic operators - archive.c: have SP around arithmetic operators - alloc.c: have SP around arithmetic operators - abspath.c: have SP around arithmetic operators - alias: have SP around arithmetic operators - C: have space around && and || operators C coding style fixes. The ones near the tip have not been sent to the list yet (they cover the same kind of style violation as the second one) and I may either send them or drop some of them if they turn out to conflict with other work in flight---I still haven't caught up with the backlog and do not know. * jk/remote-literal-string-leakfix (2013-10-15) 1 commit - remote: do not copy "origin" string literal Will merge to 'next'. * jk/split-broken-ident (2013-10-15) 2 commits - SQUASH??? remove reverse scan to simplify the logic - split_ident: parse timestamp from end of line Make the fall-back parsing of commit objects with broken author or committer lines more robust to pick up the timestamps. Will merge to 'next', perhaps after dropping the top one. * sg/prompt-svn-remote-fix (2013-10-15) 1 commit - bash prompt: don't use '+=' operator in show upstream code path Bash portability fix. Will merge to 'next'. * sc/doc-howto-dumb-http (2013-10-16) 1 commit - doc/howto: warn about (dumb)http server document being too old Will merge to 'next'. * sg/t3600-nul-sha1-fix (2013-10-16) 1 commit - t3600: fix broken "choking git rm" test Will merge to 'next'. -------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * tr/merge-recursive-index-only (2013-07-07) 3 commits - merge-recursive: -Xindex-only to leave worktree unchanged - merge-recursive: untangle double meaning of o->call_depth - merge-recursive: remove dead conditional in update_stages() Holding until there is a caller to learn from. * jc/ref-excludes (2013-09-03) 2 commits - document --exclude option - revision: introduce --exclude= to tame wildcards People often wished a way to tell "git log --branches" (and "git log --remotes --not --branches") to exclude some local branches from the expansion of "--branches" (similarly for "--tags", "--all" and "--glob="). Now they have one. Needs a matching change to rev-parse. * rv/send-email-cache-generated-mid (2013-08-21) 2 commits - git-send-email: Cache generated message-ids, use them when prompting - git-send-email: add optional 'choices' parameter to the ask sub * rj/read-default-config-in-show-ref-pack-refs (2013-06-17) 3 commits - ### DONTMERGE: needs better explanation on what config they need - pack-refs.c: Add missing call to git_config() - show-ref.c: Add missing call to git_config() The changes themselves are probably good, but it is unclear what basic setting needs to be read for which exact operation. Waiting for clarification. $gmane/228294 * jh/shorten-refname (2013-05-07) 4 commits - t1514: refname shortening is done after dereferencing symbolic refs - shorten_unambiguous_ref(): Fix shortening refs/remotes/origin/HEAD to origin - t1514: Demonstrate failure to correctly shorten "refs/remotes/origin/HEAD" - t1514: Add tests of shortening refnames in strict/loose mode When remotes/origin/HEAD is not a symbolic ref, "rev-parse --abbrev-ref remotes/origin/HEAD" ought to show "origin", not "origin/HEAD", which is fixed with this series (if it is a symbolic ref that points at remotes/origin/something, then it should show "origin/something" and it already does). Expecting a reroll, as an early part of a larger series. $gmane/225137 * jc/format-patch (2013-04-22) 2 commits - format-patch: --inline-single - format-patch: rename "no_inline" field A new option to send a single patch to the standard output to be appended at the bottom of a message. I personally have no need for this, but it was easy enough to cobble together. Tests, docs and stripping out more MIMEy stuff are left as exercises to interested parties. * jk/gitweb-utf8 (2013-04-08) 4 commits - gitweb: Fix broken blob action parameters on blob/commitdiff pages - gitweb: Don't append ';js=(0|1)' to external links - gitweb: Make feed title valid utf8 - gitweb: Fix utf8 encoding for blob_plain, blobdiff_plain, commitdiff_plain, and patch Various fixes to gitweb. Drew Northup volunteered to take a look into this. $gmane/226216 * jc/show-branch (2013-06-07) 5 commits - show-branch: use commit slab to represent bitflags of arbitrary width - show-branch.c: remove "all_mask" - show-branch.c: abstract out "flags" operation - show-branch.c: lift all_mask/all_revs to a global static - show-branch.c: update comment style Waiting for the final step to lift the hard-limit before sending it out. -------------------------------------------------- [Cooking] * mg/more-textconv (2013-05-10) 7 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-10-14 at 8a12490) + grep: honor --textconv for the case rev:path + grep: allow to use textconv filters + t7008: demonstrate behavior of grep with textconv + cat-file: do not die on --textconv without textconv filters + show: honor --textconv for blobs + diff_opt: track whether flags have been set explicitly + t4030: demonstrate behavior of show with textconv Make "git grep" and "git show" pay attention to --textconv when dealing with blob objects. * ak/submodule-foreach-quoting (2013-09-27) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-10-14 at d77c5f1) + submodule foreach: skip eval for more than one argument A behavior change, but a worthwhile one: "git submodule foreach" was treating its arguments as part of a single command to be concatenated and passed to a shell, making writing buggy scripts too easy. This patch preserves the old "just pass it to the shell" behavior when a single argument is passed to 'git submodule foreach' and moves to a new "skip the shell and use the arguments passed unmolested" behavior when more than one argument is passed. The old behavior (always concatenating and passing to the shell) was similar to the 'ssh' command, while the new behavior (switching on the number of arguments) is what 'xterm -e' does. May need more thought to make sure this change is advertised well so that scripts that used multiple arguments but added their own extra layer of quoting are not broken. * ew/keepalive (2013-10-16) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-10-16 at 56fd9f3) + http: use curl's tcp keepalive if available (merged to 'next' on 2013-10-14 at 24d786f) + http: enable keepalive on TCP sockets * hu/cherry-pick-previous-branch (2013-10-10) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-10-14 at 090934f) + cherry-pick: handle "-" after parsing options "git cherry-pick" without further options would segfault. Could use a follow-up to handle '-' after argv[1] better. * jc/pack-objects (2013-02-04) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-10-14 at 8e8feb6) + pack-objects: shrink struct object_entry * jc/prompt-upstream (2013-10-14) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-10-14 at 270ef7b) + git-prompt.sh: optionally show upstream branch name An enhancement to the GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM facility. * jk/http-auth-redirects (2013-10-14) 9 commits - remote-curl: rewrite base url from info/refs redirects - remote-curl: store url as a strbuf - remote-curl: make refs_url a strbuf - http: update base URLs when we see redirects - http: provide effective url to callers - http: hoist credential request out of handle_curl_result (merged to 'next' on 2013-10-14 at a0642be) + http: refactor options to http_get_* + http_request: factor out curlinfo_strbuf + http_get_file: style fixes Handle the case where http transport gets redirected during the authorization request better. Will merge to 'next'. * jl/submodule-mv (2013-10-13) 1 commit - mv: Fix spurious warning when moving a file in presence of submodules Moving a regular file in a repository with a .gitmodules file was producing a warning 'Could not find section in .gitmodules where path='. jrneider: "The test can use a little cleanup. Otherwise looks good". * yt/shortened-rename (2013-10-13) 1 commit - diff.c: keep arrow(=>) on show_stats()'s shortened filename part to make rename visible. Reroll v6 hasn't been picked up yet. * bc/gnome-keyring (2013-10-16) 16 commits - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: support really ancient gnome-keyring - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: support ancient gnome-keyring - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: report failure to store password - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: use glib messaging functions - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: use glib memory allocation functions - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: use secure memory for reading passwords - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: use secure memory functions for passwds - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: use gnome helpers in keyring_object() - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: set Gnome application name - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: ensure buffer is non-empty before accessing - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: strlen() returns size_t, not ssize_t - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: exit non-zero when called incorrectly - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: add static where applicable - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: *style* use "if ()" not "if()" etc. - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: remove unused die() function - contrib/git-credential-gnome-keyring.c: remove unnecessary pre-declarations Cleanups and tweaks for credential handling to work with ancient versions of the gnome-keyring library that are still in use. Will merge to 'next'. * kb/fast-hashmap (2013-09-25) 6 commits - fixup! diffcore-rename.c: simplify finding exact renames - diffcore-rename.c: use new hash map implementation - diffcore-rename.c: simplify finding exact renames - diffcore-rename.c: move code around to prepare for the next patch - buitin/describe.c: use new hash map implementation - add a hashtable implementation that supports O(1) removal Improvements to our hash table to get it to meet the needs of the msysgit fscache project, with some nice performance improvements. Looks promising. Needs style review and a sanity-check on the design before including in 'next'. Expecting a reroll once review settles down. * jc/revision-range-unpeel (2013-10-15) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-10-16 at d04ddfe) + revision: do not peel tags used in range notation "git rev-list --objects ^v1.0^ v1.0" gave v1.0 tag itself in the output, but "git rev-list --objects v1.0^..v1.0" did not. * tg/perf-lib-test-perf-cleanup (2013-09-19) 2 commits - perf-lib: add test_perf_cleanup target - perf-lib: split starting the test from the execution Add test_perf_cleanup shell function to the perf suite, that allows the script writers to define a test with a clean-up action. Holding until needed. * jk/format-patch-from (2013-09-20) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-09-20 at 0506530) + format-patch: print in-body "From" only when needed "format-patch --from=" forgot to omit unnecessary in-body from line, i.e. when is the same as the real author. Will merge to 'master'. * es/name-hash-no-trailing-slash-in-dirs (2013-09-17) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-09-20 at 9633d9a) + dir: revert work-around for retired dangerous behavior + name-hash: stop storing trailing '/' on paths in index_state.dir_hash + employ new explicit "exists in index?" API + name-hash: refactor polymorphic index_name_exists() Clean up the internal of the name-hash mechanism used to work around case insensitivity on some filesystems to cleanly fix a long-standing API glitch where the caller of cache_name_exists() that ask about a directory with a counted string was required to have '/' at one location past the end of the string. Will merge to 'master'. * po/dot-url (2013-10-15) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-10-15 at 312d0af) + doc/cli: make "dot repository" an independent bullet point (merged to 'next' on 2013-09-20 at 6a12786) + config doc: update dot-repository notes + doc: command line interface (cli) dot-repository dwimmery Explain how '.' can be used to refer to the "current repository" in the documentation. Will merge to 'master'. * jc/upload-pack-send-symref (2013-09-17) 7 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-10-16 at eb1ae25) + clone: test the new HEAD detection logic + connect: annotate refs with their symref information in get_remote_head() + connect.c: make parse_feature_value() static + upload-pack: send non-HEAD symbolic refs + upload-pack: send symbolic ref information as capability + upload-pack.c: do not pass confusing cb_data to mark_our_ref() + t5505: fix "set-head --auto with ambiguous HEAD" test One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git clone" was that there was no way to tell the other end which branch "HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess. A new capability has been defined in the pack protocol to convey this information so that cloning from a repository with more than one branches pointing at the same commit where the HEAD is at now reliably sets the initial branch in the resulting repository. Will merge to 'master'. * jk/clone-progress-to-stderr (2013-09-18) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-09-25 at 137af9e) + clone: always set transport options + clone: treat "checking connectivity" like other progress + clone: send diagnostic messages to stderr Some progress and diagnostic messages from "git clone" were incorrectly sent to the standard output stream, not to the standard error stream. Will merge to 'master'. * jx/relative-path-regression-fix (2013-10-14) 3 commits - Use simpler relative_path when set_git_dir (merged to 'next' on 2013-10-14 at 704b9ee) + relative_path should honor dos-drive-prefix + test: use unambigous leading path (/foo) for MSYS Waiting for the review to settle. * jc/checkout-detach-doc (2013-09-11) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-09-17 at 438cf13) + checkout: update synopsys and documentation on detaching HEAD "git checkout [--detach] " was listed poorly in the synopsis section of its documentation. Will merge to 'master'. * jk/trailing-slash-in-pathspec (2013-09-13) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-09-17 at 18fe277) + reset: handle submodule with trailing slash + rm: re-use parse_pathspec's trailing-slash removal Code refactoring. Will merge to 'master'. * lc/filter-branch-too-many-refs (2013-09-12) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-09-17 at 31cd01a) + Allow git-filter-branch to process large repositories with lots of branches. "git filter-branch" in a repository with many refs blew limit of command line length. Will merge to 'master'. * np/pack-v4 (2013-09-18) 90 commits - packv4-parse.c: add tree offset caching - t1050: replace one instance of show-index with verify-pack - index-pack, pack-objects: allow creating .idx v2 with .pack v4 - unpack-objects: decode v4 trees - unpack-objects: allow to save processed bytes to a buffer - ... Nico and Duy advancing the eternal vaporware pack-v4. This is here primarily for wider distribution of the preview edition. * sb/repack-in-c (2013-09-17) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2013-09-25 at 7c47036) + repack: improve warnings about failure of renaming and removing files + repack: retain the return value of pack-objects + repack: rewrite the shell script in C Rerolled, and I think it is in a reasonably good shape. Will merge to 'master'. * jc/reflog-doc (2013-06-19) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-09-25 at 4eb0c14) + setup_reflog_action: document the rules for using GIT_REFLOG_ACTION Document rules to use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION variable in the scripted Porcelain. git-rebase--interactive locally violates them, but it is a leaf user that does not call out to or dot-source other scripts, so it does not urgently need to be fixed. Will merge to 'master'. * jn/add-2.0-u-A-sans-pathspec (2013-04-26) 1 commit - git add: -u/-A now affects the entire working tree Will cook in 'next' until Git 2.0. * jc/core-checkstat-2.0 (2013-05-06) 1 commit - core.statinfo: remove as promised in Git 2.0 Will cook in 'next' until Git 2.0. * jc/push-2.0-default-to-simple (2013-06-18) 1 commit - push: switch default from "matching" to "simple" Will cook in 'next' until Git 2.0. * jc/add-2.0-ignore-removal (2013-04-22) 1 commit - git add ... defaults to "-A" Updated endgame for "git add " that defaults to "--all" aka "--no-ignore-removal". Will cook in 'next' until Git 2.0. * jc/hold-diff-remove-q-synonym-for-no-deletion (2013-07-19) 1 commit - diff: remove "diff-files -q" in a version of Git in a distant future Will cook in 'next' until a distant future. -------------------------------------------------- [Discarded] * jc/pull-training-wheel (2013-07-19) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-08-28 at c39bd15) + pull: require choice between rebase/merge on non-fast-forward pull Make "git pull" (without arguments that say what branch to integrate from where) refuse with "it does not fast forward; choose between 'pull --merge' and 'pull --rebase'". This topic has been reverted from 'next'. Will wait for the conclusion of the discussion to seek a more user-friendly alternative; it is likely that it will be based on the simpler approach Felipe posted earlier.
