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. Expecting a reroll. cf. <20170420101024.7593-1-pclouds@gmail.com> cf. <20170421145916.mknekgqzhxffu7di@sigill.intra.peff.net> cf. -------------------------------------------------- [Cooking] * bw/pathspec-match-submodule-boundary (2017-12-05) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at e256d292a4) + pathspec: only match across submodule boundaries when requested An v2.12-era regression in pathspec match logic, which made it look into submodule tree even when it is not desired, has been fixed. Will merge to 'master'. * ls/git-gui-no-double-utf8-author-name (2017-12-05) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at be577d6e1b) + Merge branch 'ls/no-double-utf8-author-name' of ../git-gui into ls/git-gui-no-double-utf8-author-name + git-gui: prevent double UTF-8 conversion Amending commits in git-gui broke the author name that is non-ascii due to incorrect enconding conversion. Will merge to 'master'. * sb/clone-recursive-submodule-doc (2017-12-05) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at abfed699db) + Documentation/git-clone: improve description for submodule recursing Doc update. Will merge to 'master'. * ab/sha1dc-build (2017-12-12) 4 commits - Makefile: use the sha1collisiondetection submodule by default - sha1dc_git.h: re-arrange an ifdef chain for a subsequent change - Makefile: under "make dist", include the sha1collisiondetection submodule - Makefile: don't error out under DC_SHA1_EXTERNAL if DC_SHA1_SUBMODULE=auto * bw/submodule-config-cleanup (2017-12-06) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at c952bf1b84) + diff-tree: read the index so attribute checks work in bare repositories Recent update to the submodule configuration code broke "diff-tree" by accidentally stopping to read from the index upfront. Will merge to 'master'. * sg/setup-doc-update (2017-12-07) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at 4355c6e0ef) + setup.c: fix comment about order of .git directory discovery Comment update. Will merge to 'master'. * ab/simplify-perl-makefile (2017-12-11) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at 1b791d2503) + Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules The build procedure for perl/ part has been greatly simplified by weaning ourselves off of MakeMaker. Will merge to 'master'. * cc/skip-to-optional-val (2017-12-11) 7 commits - t4045: reindent to make helpers readable - diff: add tests for --relative without optional prefix value - diff: use skip_to_optional_arg_default() in parsing --relative - diff: use skip_to_optional_arg_default() - diff: use skip_to_optional_arg() - index-pack: use skip_to_optional_arg() - git-compat-util: introduce skip_to_optional_arg() Introduce a helper to simplify code to parse a common pattern that expects either "--key" or "--key=". * lb/rebase-i-short-command-names (2017-12-05) 9 commits - t3404: add test case for abbreviated commands - rebase -i: learn to abbreviate command names - rebase -i -x: add exec commands via the rebase--helper - rebase -i: update functions to use a flags parameter - rebase -i: replace reference to sha1 with oid - rebase -i: refactor transform_todo_ids - rebase -i: set commit to null in exec commands - Documentation: use preferred name for the 'todo list' script - Documentation: move rebase.* configs to new file Allow a single-letter command name in the "rebase -i" todo list. Will merge to 'next'. * ra/prompt-eread-fix (2017-12-06) 2 commits - git-prompt: fix reading files with windows line endings - git-prompt: make __git_eread intended use explicit Update the shell prompt script (in contrib/) to strip trailing CR from strings read from various "state" files. * en/merge-recursive-icase-removal (2017-11-27) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at 85c6538a2a) + 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. Will merge to 'master'. * gk/tracing-optimization (2017-12-06) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at d6bfac03ad) + 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. Will merge to 'master'. * tb/check-crlf-for-safe-crlf (2017-12-08) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-08 at 5279b80103) + t0027: Adapt the new MIX tests to Windows (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-05 at 7adaa1fe01) + 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. * cc/require-tcl-tk-for-build (2017-11-29) 2 commits - travis-ci: avoid new tcl/tk build requirement - 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. * jt/diff-anchored-patience (2017-11-28) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at 5f4843d7a0) + 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. Will merge to 'master'. * en/rename-directory-detection (2017-12-13) 35 commits - SQUASH??? - merge-recursive: ensure we write updates for directory-renamed file - merge-recursive: avoid spurious rename/rename conflict from dir renames - directory rename detection: new testcases showcasing a pair of bugs - merge-recursive: fix remaining directory rename + dirty overwrite cases - merge-recursive: fix overwriting dirty files involved in renames - merge-recursive: avoid clobbering untracked files with directory renames - merge-recursive: apply necessary modifications for directory renames - merge-recursive: when comparing files, don't include trees - merge-recursive: check for file level conflicts then get new name - merge-recursive: add computation of collisions due to dir rename & merging - merge-recursive: add a new hashmap for storing file collisions - merge-recursive: check for directory level conflicts - merge-recursive: add get_directory_renames() - merge-recursive: make a helper function for cleanup for handle_renames - merge-recursive: add a new hashmap for storing directory renames - merge-recursive: split out code for determining diff_filepairs - merge-recursive: make !o->detect_rename codepath more obvious - merge-recursive: fix leaks of allocated renames and diff_filepairs - merge-recursive: introduce new functions to handle rename logic - merge-recursive: move the get_renames() function - directory rename detection: tests for handling overwriting dirty files - directory rename detection: tests for handling overwriting untracked files - directory rename detection: miscellaneous testcases to complete coverage - directory rename detection: testcases exploring possibly suboptimal merges - directory rename detection: more involved edge/corner testcases - directory rename detection: testcases checking which side did the rename - directory rename detection: files/directories in the way of some renames - directory rename detection: partially renamed directory testcase/discussion - directory rename detection: testcases to avoid taking detection too far - directory rename detection: directory splitting testcases - directory rename detection: basic testcases - merge-recursive: add explanation for src_entry and dst_entry - merge-recursive: fix logic ordering issue - Tighten and correct a few testcases for merging and cherry-picking Rename detection logic in "diff" family that is used in "merge" has learned to guess when all of x/a, x/b and x/c have moved to z/a, z/b and z/c, it is likely that x/d added in the meantime would also want to move to z/d by taking the hint that the entire directory 'x' moved to 'z'. Needs review. * sb/diff-blobfind (2017-12-12) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at 9a27a20c5f) + diffcore: add a filter to find a specific blob "git diff" family of commands learned --blobfind= that allows you to limit the output only to a change that involves the named blob object (either changing the contents from or to it). Will merge to 'master'. * tg/worktree-create-tracking (2017-12-06) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at 830b68c660) + add worktree.guessRemote config option + worktree: add --guess-remote flag to add subcommand + worktree: make add dwim + worktree: add --[no-]track option to the add subcommand + worktree: add can be created from any commit-ish + checkout: factor out functions to new lib file The way "git worktree add" determines what branch to create from where and checkout in the new worktree has been updated a bit. Will merge to 'master'. * pw/sequencer-in-process-commit (2017-12-13) 10 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at ec4d2b9c84) + sequencer: improve config handling (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-06 at a4212f7ebd) + t3512/t3513: remove KNOWN_FAILURE_CHERRY_PICK_SEES_EMPTY_COMMIT=1 + sequencer: try to commit without forking 'git commit' + sequencer: load commit related config + sequencer: simplify adding Signed-off-by: trailer + commit: move print_commit_summary() to libgit + commit: move post-rewrite code to libgit + Add a function to update HEAD after creating a commit + commit: move empty message checks to libgit + t3404: check intermediate squash messages The sequencer infrastructure is shared across "git cherry-pick", "git rebase -i", etc., and has always spawned "git commit" when it needs to create a commit. 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 cook in 'next'. * dj/runtime-prefix (2017-12-05) 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. Tentatively kicked out of 'next' to see how well another topic ab/simplify-perl-makefile that heavily conflicts with this fares. * ls/editor-waiting-message (2017-12-07) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at 494b5b41e3) + launch_editor(): indicate that Git waits for user input + refactor "dumb" terminal determination 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 'master'. * en/rename-progress (2017-12-02) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-04 at 49b39d2297) + diffcore-rename: make diff-tree -l0 mean -l (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 merge to 'master'. * ar/unconfuse-three-dots (2017-12-06) 8 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-13 at 33bd0b67c0) + t2020: test variations that matter + t4013: test new output from diff --abbrev --raw + diff: diff_aligned_abbrev: remove ellipsis after abbreviated SHA-1 value + t4013: prepare for upcoming "diff --raw --abbrev" output format change + checkout: describe_detached_head: remove ellipsis after committish + print_sha1_ellipsis: introduce helper + Documentation: user-manual: limit usage of ellipsis + Documentation: revisions: fix typo: "three dot" ---> "three-dot" (in line with "two-dot"). 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. Will merge to 'master'. * jh/object-filtering (2017-12-05) 9 commits (merged to 'next' on 2017-12-05 at 3a56b51085) + rev-list: support --no-filter argument + list-objects-filter-options: support --no-filter + list-objects-filter-options: fix 'keword' typo in comment (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. * jh/fsck-promisors (2017-12-08) 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 (2017-12-08) 13 commits - t5616: test bulk prefetch after partial fetch - fetch: inherit filter-spec from partial clone - t5616: end-to-end tests for partial clone - fetch-pack: restore save_commit_buffer after use - unpack-trees: batch fetching of missing blobs - clone: partial clone - partial-clone: define partial clone settings in config - fetch: support filters - fetch: refactor calculation of remote list - fetch-pack: test support excluding large blobs - fetch-pack: add --no-filter - 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 (2017-12-08) 8 commits - SQUASH??? - 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'.
