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. I wanted to do v2.15-rc0 today but it seems that this has to slip, with too many topics still in flight in 'next' among which many are fixes, one is even a fix for a recent regression.

Will merge to 'next'. -------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * 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. Expecting a reroll. cf. <20170420101024.7593-1-pclouds@gmail.com> cf. <20170421145916.mknekgqzhxffu7di@sigill.intra.peff.net> cf. * sg/clone-refspec-from-command-line-config (2017-06-16) 2 commits - Documentation/clone: document ignored configuration variables - clone: respect additional configured fetch refspecs during initial fetch (this branch is used by sg/remote-no-string-refspecs.) "git clone -c var=val" is a way to set configuration variables in the resulting repository, but it is more useful to also make these variables take effect while the initial clone is happening, e.g. these configuration variables could be fetch refspecs. Waiting for a response. cf. <20170617112228.vugswym4o4owf6wj@sigill.intra.peff.net> cf. -------------------------------------------------- [Cooking] * er/fast-import-dump-refs-on-checkpoint (2017-09-29) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-10-03 at 4e7b0e7ec1) + fast-import: checkpoint: dump branches/tags/marks even if object_count==0 The checkpoint command "git fast-import" did not flush updates to refs and marks unless at least one object was created since the last checkpoint, which has been corrected, as these things can happen without any new object getting created. Will merge to 'master'. * jr/hash-migration-plan-doc (2017-09-28) 1 commit - technical doc: add a design doc for hash function transition Lay out plans for weaning us off of SHA-1.

Outreachy. * rb/compat-poll-fix (2017-09-29) 1 commit - poll.c: always set revents, even if to zero Backports a moral equivalent of 2015 fix to the poll emulation from the upstream gnulib to fix occasional breakages on HPE NonStop. Needs review. * 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. * 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.

Is this ready for 'next'? * bc/hash-algo (2017-08-20) 5 commits - hash-algo: switch empty tree and blob lookups to use hash abstraction - hash-algo: integrate hash algorithm support with repo setup - hash-algo: add structure representing hash algorithm - setup: expose enumerated repo info - Merge branch 'bc/vcs-svn-cleanup' into bc/hash-algo RFC cf. <20170821000022.26729-1-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> * 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. Will be rerolled after tc/curl-with-backports stabilizes. * sb/submodule-recursive-checkout-detach-head (2017-07-28) 2 commits - 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. Undecided. This needs justification in a larger picture; it is unclear why this is better than rejecting recursive checkout, for example. * jk/check-ref-format-oor-fix (2017-07-14) 1 commit - check-ref-format: require a repository for --branch Discussion slowly continues... cf. <20170717172709.GL93855@aiede.mtv.corp.google.com> cf. <20170817102217.3yw7uxnkupdy3lh5@sigill.intra.peff.net> * rs/sha1-file-micro-optim (2017-07-09) 2 commits - SQUASH??? - sha1_file: add slash once in for_each_file_in_obj_subdir() Code cleanup. Perhaps drop. cf. * jc/allow-lazy-cas (2017-07-06) 1 commit - push: disable lazy --force-with-lease by default Because "git push --force-with-lease[=]" that relies on the stability of remote-tracking branches is unsafe when something fetches into the repository behind user's back, it is now disabled by default. A new configuration variable can be used to enable it by users who know what they are doing. This would pave the way to possibly turn `--force` into `--force-with-lease`. Will discard. Independent from disabling the feature by default, this stirred up a discussion to replace the DWIM heuristics with a better one, which deserves to be its own topic. cf. * ex/deprecate-empty-pathspec-as-match-all (2017-06-23) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-08-14 at 24db08a6e8) + pathspec: die on empty strings as pathspec + t0027: do not use an empty string as a pathspec element The final step to make an empty string as a pathspec element illegal. We started this by first deprecating and warning a pathspec that has such an element in 2.11 (Nov 2016). Hopefully we can merge this down to the 'master' by the end of the year? A deprecation warning period that is about 1 year does not sound too bad. Will cook in 'next'. As the draft RelNotes says, let's merge this to 'master' after this release cycle. -------------------------------------------------- [Discarded] * jc/ref-filter-colors-fix (2017-10-03) 2 commits . colors: git_default_config() does not read color.ui . Revert "color: check color.ui in git_default_config()" Recent tip of 'master' and 'maint' (at least as of v2.14.2) has a regression in "git add -p" for those who set ui.color=always in their configuration, caused by us being overly aggressive in allowing plumbing commands to honor the configuration to fix a fallout from an earlier change that made everybody, even the plumbing commands, to automatically color its output by default. Revert it for now from the released version (and to be released one) until we come up with a different fix to the problem.
