Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) 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. Three more minor fix-up topics are to be merged by 2.8 final, but we are almost there. 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] * jk/check-repository-format (2016-03-11) 10 commits - verify_repository_format: mark messages for translation - setup: drop repository_format_version global - setup: unify repository version callbacks - init: use setup.c's repo version verification - setup: refactor repo format reading and verification - config: drop git_config_early - check_repository_format_gently: stop using git_config_early - lazily load core.sharedrepository - wrap shared_repository global in get/set accessors - setup: document check_repository_format() The repository set-up sequence has been streamlined (the biggest change is that there is no longer git_config_early()), so that we do not attempt to look into refs/* when we know we do not have a Git repository. * mj/pull-rebase-autostash (2016-03-21) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at ebf1afa) + pull --rebase: add --[no-]autostash flag + git-pull.c: introduce git_pull_config() "git pull --rebase" learned "--[no-]autostash" option, so that the rebase.autostash configuration variable set to true can be overridden from the command line. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * pb/commit-verbose-config (2016-03-14) 1 commit - commit: add a commit.verbose config variable (this branch uses pb/t7502-drop-dup.) "git commit" learned to pay attention to "commit.verbose" configuration variable and act as if "--verbose" option was given from the command line. * pb/t7502-drop-dup (2016-03-11) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-15 at 037c877) + t/t7502 : drop duplicate test (this branch is used by pb/commit-verbose-config.) Code clean-up. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * ss/commit-squash-msg (2016-03-21) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at 0b72631) + commit: do not lose SQUASH_MSG contents When "git merge --squash" stopped due to conflict, the concluding "git commit" failed to read in the SQUASH_MSG that shows the log messages from all the squashed commits. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * ls/p4-map-user (2016-03-15) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at 9e0a4f5) + git-p4: map a P4 user to Git author name and email address Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * jc/merge-refuse-new-root (2016-03-23) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at d7da4cf) + merge: refuse to create too cool a merge by default "git merge" used to allow merging two branches that have no common base by default, which led to a brand new history of an existing project created and then get pulled by an unsuspecting maintainer, which allowed an unnecessary parallel history merged into the existing project. The command has been taught not to allow this by default, with an escape hatch "--allow-unrelated-histories" option to be used in a rare event that merges histories of two projects that started their lives independently. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * jc/rerere-multi-wip (2016-03-21) 1 commit . WIP forget (this branch uses jc/rerere-multi.) * jk/credential-cache-comment-exit (2016-03-18) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at d2b8cc7) + credential-cache--daemon: clarify "exit" action semantics Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * jk/send-email-rtrim-mailrc-alias (2016-03-18) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at 74f1f44) + send-email: ignore trailing whitespace in mailrc alias file Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * jk/test-httpd-config-nosystem (2016-03-18) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at 245263b) + t/lib-httpd: pass through GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM env Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * lt/pretty-expand-tabs (2016-03-17) 4 commits - pretty-print: add --pretty=noexpand - pretty-print: further abstract out pp_handle_indent() - pretty-print: simplify the interaction between pp_handle_indent() and its caller - pretty-print: de-tabify indented logs to make things line up properly Needs a UI rework. * sb/clone-shallow-passthru (2016-03-23) 3 commits - clone: add t5614 to test cloning submodules with shallowness involved - submodule clone: pass along `local` option - clone: add `--shallow-submodules` flag (this branch uses sb/submodule-parallel-update; is tangled with sb/submodule-init.) "git clone" learned "--shallow-submodules" option. Needs review. * sb/clone-t57-t56 (2016-03-16) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at 5df850d) + clone tests: rename t57* => t56* Rename bunch of tests on "git clone" for better organization. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * sb/rebase-x (2016-03-18) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at ef8861b) + t3404: cleanup double empty lines between tests + rebase: decouple --exec from --interactive "git rebase -x" can be used without passing "-i" option. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * cc/apply (2016-03-22) 2 commits - apply: remove unused call to free() in gitdiff_{old,new}name() - builtin/apply: get rid of useless 'name' variable Code clean-up. Will merge to 'next'. * dt/index-helper (2016-03-23) 18 commits - SQUASH - minimum compilation fix - read-cache: config for waiting for index-helper - index-helper: optionally automatically run - index-helper: autorun mode - index-helper: don't run if already running - index-helper: kill mode - unpack-trees: preserve index extensions - update-index: enable/disable watchman support - index-helper: use watchman to avoid refreshing index with lstat() - Add watchman support to reduce index refresh cost - read-cache: invalidate untracked cache data when reading WAMA - read-cache: add watchman 'WAMA' extension - index-helper: add --detach - daemonize(): set a flag before exiting the main process - index-helper: add --strict - index-helper: new daemon for caching index and related stuff - read-cache: allow to keep mmap'd memory after reading - read-cache.c: fix constness of verify_hdr() * js/mingw-tests-2.8 (2016-03-23) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at aeec80e) + mingw: skip some tests in t9115 due to file name issues + t1300: fix the new --show-origin tests on Windows + t1300-repo-config: make it resilient to being run via 'sh -x' + config --show-origin: report paths with forward slashes Will merge to 'master' by 2.8-final. * jv/merge-nothing-into-void (2016-03-23) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at 40b905d) + merge: fix NULL pointer dereference when merging nothing into void "git merge FETCH_HEAD" dereferenced NULL pointer when merging nothing into an unborn history (which is arguably unusual usage, which perhaps was the reason why nobody noticed it). Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * la/tag-force-signing-annotated-tags (2016-03-22) 1 commit - tag: add the option to force signing of annotated tags "git tag" can create an annotated tag without explicitly given an "-a" (or "-s") option (i.e. when a tag message is given). A new configuration variable, tag.forceSignAnnotated, can be used to tell the command to create signed tag in such a situation. Will merge to 'next'. * ls/p4-doc-markup (2016-03-23) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at 94a6275) + Documentation: fix git-p4 AsciiDoc formatting + Documentation: use ASCII quotation marks in git-p4 Will merge to 'master' by 2.8-final. * sb/submodule-module-list-pathspec-fix (2016-03-22) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at 67fe17c) + submodule: fix regression for deinit without submodules Will merge to 'master' by 2.8-final. -------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to "master"] * cn/deprecate-ssh-git-url (2016-03-09) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-15 at c52f11c) + Disown ssh+git and git+ssh The two alternative ways to spell "ssh://" transport have been deprecated for a long time. The last mention of them has finally removed from the documentation. * jc/exclusion-doc (2016-03-08) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-10 at 19173ff) + gitignore: document that unignoring a directory unignores everything in it * jc/sane-grep (2016-03-10) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-15 at 98d08a4) + rebase-i: clarify "is this commit relevant?" test + sane_grep: pass "-a" if grep accepts it Recent versions of GNU grep is pickier than before to decide if a file is "binary" and refuse to give line-oriented hits when we expect it to, unless explicitly told with "-a" option. As our scripted Porcelains use sane_grep wrapper for line-oriented data, even when the line may contain non-ASCII payload we took from end-user data, use "grep -a" to implement sane_grep wrapper when using an implementation of "grep" that takes the "-a" option. * js/close-packs-before-gc (2016-03-04) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-04 at fe6f6ed) + t5510: do not leave changed cwd A small future-proofing of a test added recently. * jx/http-no-proxy (2016-02-29) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-10 at 989305b) + http: honor no_http env variable to bypass proxy A small regression fix to keep no_proxy environment variable working. * sb/rebase-summary (2016-03-02) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-04 at d40714d) + Documentation: reword rebase summary -------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * ec/annotate-deleted (2015-11-20) 1 commit - annotate: skip checking working tree if a revision is provided Usability fix for annotate-specific " " syntax with deleted files. Waiting for review. * dg/subtree-rebase-test (2016-01-19) 1 commit - contrib/subtree: Add a test for subtree rebase that loses commits Reviewed up to v5. Will be rerolled. ($gmane/284426) * js/am-3-merge-recursive-direct (2015-10-12) 2 commits - am: make a direct call to merge_recursive - merge_recursive_options: introduce the "gently" flag The merge_recursive_generic() function has been made a bit safer to call from inside a process. "git am -3" was taught to make a direct call to the function when falling back to three-way merge. Being able to make a direct call would be good in general, but as a performance thing, the change needs to be backed up by numbers. Needs review. I haven't gone through the "gently" change with fine toothed comb; I can see that the change avoids calling die(), but I haven't made sure that the program states (e.g. what's in the in-core index) are adjusted sensibly when it returns to the caller instead of dying, or the codepaths that used to die() are free of resource leaks. The original code certainly did not care the program states at the point of dying exactly because it knew it is going to exit, but now they have to care, and they need to be audited. * dk/gc-more-wo-pack (2016-01-13) 4 commits - gc: clean garbage .bitmap files from pack dir - t5304: ensure non-garbage files are not deleted - t5304: test .bitmap garbage files - prepare_packed_git(): find more garbage Follow-on to dk/gc-idx-wo-pack topic, to clean up stale .bitmap and .keep files. Waiting for a reroll. ($gmane/284368). * jc/diff-b-m (2015-02-23) 5 commits . WIPWIP . WIP: diff-b-m - diffcore-rename: allow easier debugging - diffcore-rename.c: add locate_rename_src() - diffcore-break: allow debugging "git diff -B -M" produced incorrect patch when the postimage of a completely rewritten file is similar to the preimage of a removed file; such a resulting file must not be expressed as a rename from other place. The fix in this patch is broken, unfortunately. Will discard. -------------------------------------------------- [Cooking] * cc/doc-recommend-performance-trace-to-file (2016-03-07) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at 086b9f2) + Documentation: talk about pager in api-trace.txt Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * da/mergetool-delete-delete-conflict (2016-03-10) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-15 at 281a81a) + mergetool: honor tempfile configuration when resolving delete conflicts + mergetool: support delete/delete conflicts "git mergetool" did not work well with conflicts that both sides deleted. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * es/test-gpg-tags (2016-03-06) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-15 at 617119f) + t6302: skip only signed tags rather than all tests when GPG is missing + t6302: also test annotated in addition to signed tags + t6302: normalize names and descriptions of signed tags + lib-gpg: drop unnecessary "missing GPG" warning A test for tags has been restructured so that more parts of it can easily be run on a platform without a working GnuPG. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * jk/getwholeline-getdelim-empty (2016-03-05) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-15 at e70d4bd) + strbuf_getwholeline: NUL-terminate getdelim buffer on error strbuf_getwholeline() did not NUL-terminate the buffer on certain corner cases in its error codepath. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * jk/startup-info (2016-03-07) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-15 at eb95e5f) + use setup_git_directory() in test-* programs + grep: turn off gitlink detection for --no-index + mailmap: do not resolve blobs in a non-repository + remote: don't resolve HEAD in non-repository + setup: set startup_info->have_repository more reliably + setup: make startup_info available everywhere The startup_info data, which records if we are working inside a repository (among other things), are now uniformly available to Git subcommand implementations, and Git avoids attempting to touch references when we are not in a repository. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * rj/xdiff-prepare-plug-leak-on-error-codepath (2016-03-04) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-15 at f72755e) + xdiff/xprepare: fix a memory leak + xdiff/xprepare: use the XDF_DIFF_ALG() macro to access flag bits A small memory leak in an error codepath has been plugged in xdiff code. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * jc/index-pack (2016-03-03) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-15 at 42efaa7) + index-pack: add a helper function to derive .idx/.keep filename + Merge branch 'jc/maint-index-pack-keep' into jc/index-pack (this branch is used by jc/bundle; uses jc/maint-index-pack-keep; is tangled with jc/index-pack-clone-bundle.) Code clean-up. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * jc/maint-index-pack-keep (2016-03-03) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-04 at bc1d37a) + index-pack: correct --keep[=] (this branch is used by jc/bundle, jc/index-pack and jc/index-pack-clone-bundle.) "git index-pack --keep[=] pack-$name.pack" simply did not work. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * mm/readme-markdown (2016-02-27) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-01 at 81f3858) + README.md: don't take 'commandname' literally The top-level README file has been updated to be more appropriate for the sign on the front door to welcome new acquaintances to Git by toning down inside jokes and making it into MarkDown. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * gf/fetch-pack-direct-object-fetch (2016-03-05) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-06 at 5628860) + fetch-pack: update the documentation for "..." arguments (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-04 at 49199e0) + fetch-pack: fix object_id of exact sha1 Fetching of history by naming a commit object name directly didn't work across remote-curl transport.

Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * jk/rev-parse-local-env-vars (2016-02-29) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-04 at a0300d5) + rev-parse: let some options run outside repository + t1515: add tests for rev-parse out-of-repo helpers The "--local-env-vars" and "--resolve-git-dir" options of "git rev-parse" failed to work outside a repository when the command's option parsing was rewritten in 1.8.5 era. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * sg/completion-updates (2016-02-28) 21 commits - completion: cache the path to the repository - completion: extract repository discovery from __gitdir() - completion: don't guard git executions with __gitdir() - completion: consolidate silencing errors from git commands - completion: don't use __gitdir() for git commands - completion: respect 'git -C ' - completion: fix completion after 'git -C ' - completion: don't offer commands when 'git --opt' needs an argument - rev-parse: add '--absolute-git-dir' option - completion: list short refs from a remote given as a URL - completion: don't list 'HEAD' when trying refs completion outside of a repo - completion: list refs from remote when remote's name matches a directory - completion: respect 'git --git-dir=' when listing remote refs - completion: fix most spots not respecting 'git --git-dir=' - completion: ensure that the repository path given on the command line exists - completion tests: add tests for the __git_refs() helper function - completion tests: check __gitdir()'s output in the error cases - completion tests: consolidate getting path of current working directory - completion tests: make the $cur variable local to the test helper functions - completion tests: don't add test cruft to the test repository - completion: improve __git_refs()'s in-code documentation Will be rerolled. ($gmane/287839) * mm/lockfile-error-message (2016-03-01) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-04 at 04ed7e6) + lockfile: improve error message when lockfile exists + lockfile: mark strings for translation Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * ss/exc-flag-is-a-collection-of-bits (2016-03-01) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-04 at 5ea48c7) + dir: store EXC_FLAG_* values in unsigned integers Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * jc/bundle (2016-03-03) 6 commits - index-pack: --clone-bundle option - Merge branch 'jc/index-pack' into jc/bundle - bundle v3: the beginning - bundle: keep a copy of bundle file name in the in-core bundle header - bundle: plug resource leak - bundle doc: 'verify' is not about verifying the bundle (this branch uses jc/index-pack and jc/maint-index-pack-keep; is tangled with jc/index-pack-clone-bundle.) The beginning of "split bundle", which could be one of the ingredients to allow "git clone" traffic off of the core server network to CDN. * ss/receive-pack-parse-options (2016-03-01) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-04 at c577ea7) + builtin/receive-pack.c: use parse_options API The command line argument parser for "receive-pack" has been rewritten to use parse-options. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * jk/credential-clear-config (2016-02-26) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-04 at f7b26b7) + credential: let empty credential specs reset helper list The credential.helper configuration variable is cumulative and there is no good way to override it from the command line. As a special case, giving an empty string as its value now serves as the signal to clear the values specified in various files. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * jk/submodule-c-credential (2016-03-23) 7 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-23 at 952367a) + git_config_push_parameter: handle empty GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-15 at 81df5b1) + git: submodule honor -c credential.* from command line + quote: implement sq_quotef() + submodule: fix segmentation fault in submodule--helper clone + submodule: fix submodule--helper clone usage + submodule: check argc count for git submodule--helper clone + submodule: don't pass empty string arguments to submodule--helper clone "git -c credential.= submodule" can now be used to propagate configuration variables related to credential helper down to the submodules. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * nd/shallow-deepen (2016-02-23) 25 commits - fetch, upload-pack: --deepen=N extends shallow boundary by N commits - upload-pack: add get_reachable_list() - upload-pack: split check_unreachable() in two, prep for get_reachable_list() - t5500, t5539: tests for shallow depth excluding a ref - clone: define shallow clone boundary with --shallow-exclude - fetch: define shallow boundary with --shallow-exclude - upload-pack: support define shallow boundary by excluding revisions - refs: add expand_ref() - t5500, t5539: tests for shallow depth since a specific date - clone: define shallow clone boundary based on time with --shallow-since - fetch: define shallow boundary with --shallow-since - upload-pack: add deepen-since to cut shallow repos based on time - shallow.c: implement a generic shallow boundary finder based on rev-list - fetch-pack: use a separate flag for fetch in deepening mode - fetch-pack: use a common function for verbose printing - fetch-pack: use skip_prefix() instead of starts_with() - upload-pack: move rev-list code out of check_non_tip() - upload-pack: tighten number parsing at "deepen" lines - upload-pack: use skip_prefix() instead of starts_with() - upload-pack: move "unshallow" sending code out of deepen() - upload-pack: remove unused variable "backup" - upload-pack: move "shallow" sending code out of deepen() - upload-pack: move shallow deepen code out of receive_needs() - transport-helper.c: refactor set_helper_option() - remote-curl.c: convert fetch_git() to use argv_array The existing "git fetch --depth=" option was hard to use correctly when making the history of an existing shallow clone deeper. A new option, "--deepen=", has been added to make this easier to use. "git clone" also learned "--shallow-since=" and "--shallow-exclude=" options to make it easier to specify "I am interested only in the recent N months worth of history" and "Give me only the history since that version". Needs review. * mm/diff-renames-default (2016-02-25) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-25 at 947c399) + diff: activate diff.renames by default + log: introduce init_log_defaults() + t: add tests for diff.renames (true/false/unset) + t4001-diff-rename: wrap file creations in a test + Documentation/diff-config: fix description of diff.renames The end-user facing Porcelain level commands like "diff" and "log" now enables the rename detection by default. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * mp/upload-pack-use-embedded-args (2016-02-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2016-02-26 at f0a54e5) + upload-pack: use argv_array for pack_objects The embedded args argv-array in the child process is used to build the command line to run pack-objects instead of using a separate array of strings. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * sb/submodule-init (2016-03-15) 2 commits - submodule: port init from shell to C - submodule: port resolve_relative_url from shell to C (this branch uses sb/submodule-parallel-update; is tangled with sb/clone-shallow-passthru.) Update of "git submodule" to move pieces of logic to C continues. Needs review. ($gmane/288824) * az/p4-bare-no-rebase (2016-02-19) 1 commit - git-p4.py: Don't try to rebase on submit from bare repository "git p4 submit" attempts to do a rebase, which would fail if done in a bare repository. Not doing this rebase would paper over the failure, which is what this patch does, but it is unclear what the side effect of not rebasing is. Needs a better explanation. * ss/commit-dry-run-resolve-merge-to-no-op (2016-02-17) 1 commit - wt-status.c: set commitable bit if there is a meaningful merge. "git commit --dry-run" reported "No, no, you cannot commit." in one case where "git commit" would have allowed you to commit, and this improves it a little bit ("git commit --dry-run --short" still does not give you the correct answer, for example). * nd/icase (2016-02-15) 12 commits - grep.c: reuse "icase" variable - diffcore-pickaxe: support case insensitive match on non-ascii - diffcore-pickaxe: "share" regex error handling code - grep/pcre: support utf-8 - gettext: add is_utf8_locale() - grep/pcre: prepare locale-dependent tables for icase matching - grep/icase: avoid kwsset when -F is specified - grep/icase: avoid kwsset on literal non-ascii strings - test-regex: expose full regcomp() to the command line - test-regex: isolate the bug test code - grep: break down an "if" stmt in preparation for next changes - grep: allow -F -i combination "git grep -i" has been taught to fold case in non-ascii locales. Needs review. ($gmane/286137) * sb/submodule-parallel-update (2016-03-01) 10 commits (merged to 'next' on 2016-03-15 at a8bf6c5) + clone: allow an explicit argument for parallel submodule clones + submodule update: expose parallelism to the user + submodule helper: remove double 'fatal: ' prefix + git submodule update: have a dedicated helper for cloning + run_processes_parallel: rename parameters for the callbacks + run_processes_parallel: treat output of children as byte array + submodule update: direct error message to stderr + fetching submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option + submodule-config: drop check against NULL + submodule-config: keep update strategy around (this branch is used by sb/clone-shallow-passthru and sb/submodule-init.) A major part of "git submodule update" has been ported to C to take advantage of the recently added framework to run download tasks in parallel. Will merge to 'master' after 2.8 final. * dt/refs-backend-lmdb (2016-02-25) 45 commits . SQUASH??? Minimum compilation band-aid . tests: add ref-storage argument . refs: tests for lmdb backend . refs: add LMDB refs storage backend . refs: break out resolve_ref_unsafe_submodule . config: read ref storage config on startup . refs: register ref storage backends . svn: learn ref-storage argument . clone: allow ref storage backend to be set for clone . refs: check submodules' ref storage config . init: allow alternate ref strorage to be set for new repos . refs: always handle non-normal refs in files backend . refs: resolve symbolic refs first . refs: on symref reflog expire, lock symref not referrent . refs: don't dereference on rename . refs: allow log-only updates . refs: move duplicate check to common code . refs: make lock generic . refs: handle non-normal ref renames . refs: add method to rename refs . refs: add methods to init refs db . refs: add method for delete_refs . refs: add method for initial ref transaction commit . refs: add methods for reflog . refs: add do_for_each_per_worktree_ref . refs: reduce the visibility of do_for_each_ref() . refs: add method for do_for_each_ref . refs: add methods for misc ref operations . refs: add a backend method structure with transaction functions . refs: move resolve_ref_unsafe into common code . files-backend: break out ref reading . refs: move for_each_*ref* functions into common code . refs: move head_ref{,_submodule} to the common code . Merge branch 'sb/submodule-parallel-update' into dt/refs-backend-lmdb . clone: allow an explicit argument for parallel submodule clones . submodule update: expose parallelism to the user . git submodule update: have a dedicated helper for cloning . run_processes_parallel: correctly terminate callbacks with an LF . run_processes_parallel: rename parameters for the callbacks . run-command: expose default_{start_failure, task_finished} . run_processes_parallel: treat output of children as byte array . submodule update: direct error message to stderr . fetching submodules: respect `submodule.fetchJobs` config option . submodule-config: drop check against NULL . submodule-config: keep update strategy around A reroll exists, but it seems that will further be rerolled. * ad/cygwin-wants-rename (2015-08-07) 1 commit - config.mak.uname: Cygwin needs OBJECT_CREATION_USES_RENAMES Will hold. ($gmane/275680). * jc/rerere-multi (2016-03-15) 10 commits - rerere: split code to call ll_merge() further - rerere: move code related to "forget" together - rerere: gc and clear - rerere: do use multiple variants - t4200: rerere a merge with two identical conflicts - rerere: allow multiple variants to exist - rerere: delay the recording of preimage - rerere: handle leftover rr-cache/$ID directory and postimage files - rerere: scan $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID when instantiating a rerere_id - rerere: split conflict ID further (this branch is used by jc/rerere-multi-wip.) "git rerere" can encounter two or more files with the same conflict signature that have to be resolved in different ways, but there was no way to record these separate resolutions. May need further work on forget. * jc/merge-drop-old-syntax (2015-04-29) 1 commit - merge: drop 'git merge HEAD ' syntax Stop supporting "git merge HEAD " syntax that has been deprecated since October 2007. It has been reported that git-gui still uses the deprecated syntax, which needs to be fixed before this final step can proceed. ($gmane/282594)
