What's cooking in git.git (May 2020, #10; Sun, 31)

[Junio C Hamano]

Here are the topics that have been cooking.  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.

Git 2.27 final soon.

You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

* en/fast-import-looser-date (2020-05-31) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-31 at 49de9c07c5)
 + fast-import: add new --date-format=raw-permissive format

 Some repositories in the wild have commits that record nonsense
 committer timezone (e.g. rails.git); "git fast-import" learned an
 option to pass these nonsense timestamps intact to allow recreating
 existing repositories as-is.

 Will cook in 'next'.


* js/checkout-p-new-file (2020-05-27) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-31 at 017c325bf6)
 + checkout -p: handle new files correctly

 "git checkout -p" did not handle a newly added path at all.

 Will cook in 'next'.


* mt/zsh-completion-optim (2020-05-28) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-31 at f5d02a5498)
 + completion: use native ZSH array pattern matching

 Command line completion (incontrib/) update.

 Will cook in 'next'.


* xl/upgrade-repo-format (2020-05-29) 1 commit
 - fetch: allow adding a filter after initial clone

 Allow runtime upgrade of the repository format version, which needs
 to be done carefully.

 Almost there.

--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]

* dr/push-remoteref-fix (2020-04-23) 1 commit
 - remote.c: fix handling of %(push:remoteref)

 The "%(push:remoteref)" placeholder in the "--format=" argument of
 "git format-patch" (and friends) only showed what got explicitly
 configured, not what ref at the receiving end would be updated when
 "git push" was used, as it ignored the default behaviour (e.g. update
 the same ref as the source).

 Expecting a reroll.
 cf. <20200416152145.wp2zeibxmuyas6y6@feanor>


* dl/test-must-fail-fixes-5 (2020-05-21) 5 commits
 - lib-submodule-update: pass OVERWRITING_FAIL
 - SQUASH???  <20200521112545.GB581643@generichostname>
 - lib-submodule-update: prepend "git" to $command
 - lib-submodule-update: consolidate --recurse-submodules
 - lib-submodule-update: add space after function name

 The effort to avoid using test_must_fail on non-git command continues.

 Waiting for a review thread to settle.
 cf. <20200521182928.GA1308647@coredump.intra.peff.net>
 The last step is a bit too ugly to live; Peff seems to have better
 ideas.

 - bisect--helper: introduce new `write_in_file()` function
 - bisect--helper: use '-res' in 'cmd_bisect__helper' return
 - bisect--helper: fix `cmd_*()` function switch default return

 Rewrite of the remainder of "git bisect" script in C continues.

 Expecting a response to reviews.

* mk/use-size-t-in-zlib (2018-10-15) 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".

 - git-sparse-checkout: clarify interactions with submodules

 The effect of sparse checkout settings on submodules is documented.

 Needs review.

  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-24 at d30e10fa86)
 + bisect--helper: avoid segfault with bad syntax in `start --term-*`

 The code to parse "git bisect start" command line was lax in
 validating the arguments.

 Will cook in 'next'.


* jn/experimental-opts-into-proto-v2 (2020-05-21) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-24 at 53cd664dfe)
 + config: let feature.experimental imply protocol.version=2

 "feature.experimental" configuration variable is to let volunteers
 easily opt into a set of newer features, which use of the v2
 transport protocol is now a part of.

* jx/pkt-line-doc-count-fix (2020-05-21) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-24 at 7115240db4)

 + fsck: detect more in-tree d/f conflicts
 + t1450: demonstrate undetected in-tree d/f conflict
 + t1450: increase test coverage of in-tree d/f detection
 + fsck: fix a typo in a comment

 The check in "git fsck" to ensure that the tree objects are sorted
 still had corner cases it missed unsorted entries.

 Will cook in 'next'.


* ss/submodule-set-branch-in-c (2020-05-24) 2 commits
 - fixup! submodule: port subcommand 'set-branch' from shell to C
 - submodule: port subcommand 'set-branch' from shell to C

 Rewrite of parts of the scripted "git submodule" Porcelain command
 continues; this time it is "git submodule set-branch" subcommand's
 turn.

 cf. <20200523231838.GB1981@danh.dev>


* vs/complete-stash-show-p-fix (2020-05-21) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-24 at fcbff29a0f)
 + completion: don't override given stash subcommand with -p

 The command line completion script (in contrib/) tried to complete
 "git stash -p" as if it were "git stash push -p", but it was too
 aggressive and also affected "git stash show -p", which has been
 corrected.

 Will cook in 'next'.


* cb/t5608-cleanup (2020-05-24) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-24 at 2bfa581890)

 The error message from "git checkout -b foo -t bar baz" was
 confusing.

* lo/sparse-universal-zero-init (2020-05-24) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-24 at 1f4ea6b348)
 + sparse: allow '{ 0 }' to be used without warnings

 We've adopted a convention that any on-stack structure can be
 initialized to have zero values in all fields with "= { 0 }", even
 when the first field happens to be a pointer, but sparse complained
 that a null pointer should be spelled NULL for a long time.  Start
 using -Wno-universal-initializer option to squelch it.

 Will cook in 'next'.


* pw/rebase-i-more-options (2020-05-27) 5 commits

 - rebase -i: support --ignore-date
 - sequencer: rename amend_author to author_to_free
 - rebase -i: support --committer-date-is-author-date

* dl/remote-curl-deadlock-fix (2020-05-24) 7 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-26 at 072714ca7f)
 + stateless-connect: send response end packet

 + remote-curl: error on incomplete packet
 + pkt-line: extern packet_length()
 + transport: extract common fetch_pack() call
 + remote-curl: remove label indentation
 + remote-curl: fix typo

 On-the-wire protocol v2 easily falls into a deadlock between the
 remote-curl helper and the fetch-pack process when the server side
 prematurely throws an error and disconnects.  The communication has
 been updated to make it more robust.

 Will cook in 'next'.


* la/diff-relative-config (2020-05-24) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-26 at b4604e6abc)
 + diff: add config option relative

 The commands in the "diff" family learned to honor "diff.relative"
 configuration variable.

 Will cook in 'next'.


* cb/t4210-illseq-auto-detect (2020-05-18) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-24 at c03b4095fa)
 + t4210: detect REG_ILLSEQ dynamically and skip affected tests
 + t/helper: teach test-regex to report pattern errors (like REG_ILLSEQ)

 As FreeBSD is not the only platform whose regexp library reports
 a REG_ILLSEQ error when fed invalid UTF-8, add logic to detect that
 automatically and skip the affected tests.

* bk/p4-prepare-p4-only-fix (2020-05-12) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-24 at c1b4644b04)

 The "--prepare-p4-only" option is supposed to stop after replaying
 one changeset, but kept going (by mistake?)

 Rewrite support for GIT_CURL_VERBOSE in terms of GIT_TRACE_CURL.

 Expecting further work on optionally disabling redacting authinfo

 - config: add setting to ignore sparsity patterns in some cmds
 - grep: honor sparse checkout patterns
 - config: correctly read worktree configs in submodules

  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-24 at 79c5c8308b)
 + bugreport: include user interactive shell

* hn/refs-cleanup (2020-05-27) 7 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2020-05-27 at aada2199e1)
 + reftable doc: use link: and urlencode to avoid dead links

 + reftable: file format documentation
 + refs: improve documentation for ref iterator
 + t: use update-ref and show-ref to reading/writing refs
 + refs.h: clarify reflog iteration order
 (this branch is used by hn/reftable.)

 Preliminary clean-ups around refs API, plus file format
 specification documentation for the reftable backend.

 Will cook in 'next'.
 We probably would want to squash the fix at the tip to an earlier
 step when we rewind the 'next' branch.


* hn/reftable (2020-05-28) 13 commits
 . Add reftable testing infrastructure
 . vcxproj: adjust for the reftable changes
 . Add GIT_DEBUG_REFS debugging mechanism
 . Reftable support for git-core
 . Add reftable library
 . Add .gitattributes for the reftable/ directory
 . Iterate over the "refs/" namespace in for_each_[raw]ref
 . Move REF_LOG_ONLY to refs-internal.h
 . Treat REVERT_HEAD as a pseudo ref
 . Treat CHERRY_PICK_HEAD as a pseudo ref
 . Treat BISECT_HEAD as a pseudo ref
 . Make refs_ref_exists public
 . Write pseudorefs through ref backends.
 (this branch uses hn/refs-cleanup.)

 A new refs backend "reftable" to replace the traditional
 combination of packed-refs files and one-file-per-ref loose refs
 has been implemented and integrated for improved performance and
 atomicity.

 Not quite--does not pass tests by itself.

 . credential-store: document the file format a bit more

 Now has become a part of Carlo's credential-store fix patches.


* js/ci-skip-on-github-workflow (2020-05-02) 1 commit
 . ci: respect the [skip ci] convention in our GitHub workflow "CI/PR"

 Allow contributors to mark a branch/push that it does not have to
 be built via GitHub actions, in a way similar to how Travis lets
 them mark the commits with an embedded "[skip ci]" string.

 Superseded by dd/ci-only-on-selective-branches topic.


* dd/ci-only-on-selective-branches (2020-05-05) 2 commits
 - CI: limit GitHub Actions to designated branches
 - SubmittingPatches: advertise GitHub Actions CI

 Instead of always building all branches of all forks of our project
 at GitHub via GitHub Actions, only build when branches with known
 and specific names are updated, and also a pull request.
