Commits prefixed with '-' are\nonly in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.\n\nThe latter half of the second batch of topics are now in 'master'.\n\nI'm planning to keep this cycle reasonably short and aim for tagging\nthe result as 1.8.0 at the end of 9th week, on October 21st, after\nwhich I'd disappear for a few weeks.  http://tinyurl.com/gitCal is\nwhere you can always find my rough tagging schedule at.\n\nYou can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the\nrepositories listed at\n\n    http://git-blame.blogspot.com/p/git-public-repositories.html\n\n--------------------------------------------------\n[New Topics]\n\n* mz/cherry-pick-cmdline-order (2012-08-30) 3 commits\n  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-31 at fc8eec4)\n + cherry-pick/revert: respect order of revisions to pick\n + demonstrate broken 'git cherry-pick three one two'\n + teach log --no-walk=unsorted, which avoids sorting\n\n\"git cherry-pick A C B\" used to replay changes in A and then B and\nthen C if these three commits had committer timestamps in that\norder, which is not what the user who said \"A C B\" naturally expects.\n\nWill merge to 'master' as part of the fifth batch.\n\n* ph/credential-gnome-keyring (2012-08-24) 1 commit\n  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-31 at 6f3b1de)\n + contrib: add credential helper for GnomeKeyring\n (this branch is used by ph/credential-refactor.)\n\nThe later refactoring of the shared code in the original series may\nnot be worth the trouble, so it is split into a separate topic that\nbuilds on top of this one, which independently should be useful.\n\nWill merge to 'master' as part of the fifth batch.\n\n* ms/contrib-thunderbird-updates (2012-08-31) 2 commits\n - [SQUASH] minimum fixup\n - Thunderbird: fix appp.sh format problems\n\nUpdate helper to send out format-patch output using Thunderbird.\n\n* nd/i18n-index-pack (2012-08-31) 1 commit\n - i18n: mark more index-pack strings for translation\n\nWill merge to 'next'.\n\n--------------------------------------------------\n[Stalled]\n\n* jc/maint-push-refs-all (2012-08-27) 2 commits\n - get_fetch_map(): tighten checks on dest refs\n - [BROKEN] fetch/push: allow refs/*:refs/*\n\nAllows pushing and fetching everything including refs/stash.\nThis is broken (see the log message there).\n\n* er/doc-fast-import-done (2012-08-22) 1 commit\n - fast-import: document the --done option\n\nParked in 'pu' in case ESR responds with \"Sorry, forgot to sign-off\".\n\n* jc/add-delete-default (2012-08-13) 1 commit\n - git add: notice removal of tracked paths by default\n\n\"git add dir/\" updated modified files and added new files, but does\nnot notice removed files, which may be \"Huh?\" to some users.  They\ncan of course use \"git add -A dir/\", but why should they?\n\nResurrected from graveyard, as I thought it was a worthwhile thing\nto do in the longer term; waiting for comments.\n\n* tx/relative-in-the-future (2012-08-16) 2 commits\n - date: show relative dates in the future\n - date: refactor the relative date logic from presentation\n\nNot my itch; rewritten an earlier submission by Tom Xue into\nsomewhat more maintainable form, though it breaks existing i18n.\n\nAnybody interested in fixing it up?  Otherwise may discard.\n\n* pw/p4-submit-conflicts (2012-08-16) 12 commits\n - git p4: add submit --prepare-p4-only option\n - git p4: add submit --dry-run option\n - git p4: accept -v for --verbose\n - git p4: revert deleted files after submit cancel\n - git p4: rearrange submit template construction\n - git p4: test clean-up after failed submit, fix added files\n - git p4: standardize submit cancel due to unchanged template\n - git p4: move conflict prompt into run, use [c]ontinue and [q]uit\n - git p4: remove submit failure options [a]pply and [w]rite\n - git p4: gracefully fail if some commits could not be applied\n - git p4 test: use p4d -L option to suppress log messages\n - git p4 test: remove bash-ism of combined export/assignment\n\nWaiting for the dust to settle.\n\n* mz/rebase-range (2012-07-18) 7 commits\n . rebase (without -p): correctly calculate patches to rebase\n . rebase -p: don't request --left-right only to ignore left side\n . rebase -p: use --cherry-mark for todo file\n . git-rebase--interactive.sh: look up subject in add_pick_line\n . git-rebase--interactive: group all $preserve_merges code\n . git-rebase--interactive.sh: extract function for adding \"pick\" line\n . git-rebase--am.sh: avoid special-casing --keep-empty\n\nExpecting a reroll.\n\nPerformance concerns from Windows folks.  Also the series lacks\nproper sign-offs.\n\n* mb/remote-default-nn-origin (2012-07-11) 6 commits\n - Teach get_default_remote to respect remote.default.\n - Test that plain \"git fetch\" uses remote.default when on a detached HEAD.\n - Teach clone to set remote.default.\n - Teach \"git remote\" about remote.default.\n - Teach remote.c about the remote.default configuration setting.\n - Rename remote.c's default_remote_name static variables.\n\nWhen the user does not specify what remote to interact with, we\noften attempt to use 'origin'.  This can now be customized via a\nconfiguration variable.\n\nExpecting a reroll.\n\n\"The first remote becomes the default\" bit is better done as a\nseparate step.\n\n* jc/split-blob (2012-04-03) 6 commits\n - chunked-object: streaming checkout\n - chunked-object: fallback checkout codepaths\n - bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding\n - bulk-checkin: allow the same data to be multiply hashed\n - new representation types in the packstream\n - packfile: use varint functions\n\nNot ready.\n\nI finished the streaming checkout codepath, but as explained in\n127b177 (bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding, 2011-11-30),\nthese are still early steps of a long and painful journey. At least\npack-objects and fsck need to learn the new encoding for the series\nto be usable locally, and then index-pack/unpack-objects needs to\nlearn it to be used remotely.\n\nGiven that I heard a lot of noise that people want large files, and\nthat I was asked by somebody at GitTogether'11 privately for an\nadvice on how to pay developers (not me) to help adding necessary\nsupport, I am somewhat dissapointed that the original patch series\nthat was sent long time ago still remains here without much comments\nand updates from the developer community. I even made the interface\nto the logic that decides where to split chunks easily replaceable,\nand I deliberately made the logic in the original patch extremely\nstupid to entice others, especially the \"bup\" fanbois, to come up\nwith a better logic, thinking that giving people an easy target to\nshoot for, they may be encouraged to help out. The plan is not\nworking :-<.\n\n--------------------------------------------------\n[Cooking]\n\n* jk/maint-quiet-is-synonym-to-s-in-log (2012-08-28) 1 commit\n  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-31 at 06f6953)\n + log: fix --quiet synonym for -s\n\nWe tried to bend backwards to allow \"--quiet\" to be a synonym as\n\"-s\" when given as e.g. \"git show --quiet\", but did not quite\nsucceed.\n\nWill merge to 'master' as part of the fifth batch.\n\n* nd/checkout-option-parsing-fix (2012-08-30) 3 commits\n - checkout: reorder option handling\n - checkout: move more parameters to struct checkout_opts\n - checkout: pass \"struct checkout_opts *\" as const pointer\n\nThe option parsing of \"git checkout\" had error checking, dwim and\ndefaulting missing options, all mixed in the code, and issuing an\nappropriate error message with useful context was getting harder.\nReorganize the code and allow giving a proper diagnosis when the\nuser says \"git checkout -b -t foo bar\" (e.g. \"-t\" is not a good name\nfor a branch).\n\n* jc/maint-name-rev (2012-08-29) 6 commits\n - describe --contains: use \"name-rev --weight\"\n - name-rev --weight: tests and documentation\n - name-rev --weight: cache the computed weight in notes\n - name-rev: --weight option\n - name_rev: clarify the logic to assign a new tip-name to a commit\n - name-rev: lose unnecessary typedef\n\n\"git name-rev\" names the given revision based on a ref that can be\nreached in the smallest number of steps from the rev, but that is\nnot useful when the caller wants to know which tag is the oldest one\nthat contains the rev.  This teaches a new mode to the command that\nuses the oldest ref among those which contain the rev.\n\nI am not sure if this is worth it; for one thing, even with the help\nfrom notes-cache, it seems to make the \"describe --contains\" even\nslower. Also the command will be unusably slow for a user who does\nnot have a write access (hence unable to create or update the\nnotes-cache).\n\n* cn/branch-set-upstream-to (2012-08-30) 3 commits\n  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-31 at d550ecd)\n + branch: deprecate --set-upstream and show help if we detect possible mistaken use\n + branch: add --unset-upstream option\n + branch: introduce --set-upstream-to\n\n\"git branch --set-upstream origin/master\" is a common mistake to\ncreate a local branch 'origin/master' and set it to integrate with\nthe current branch.  With a plan to deprecate this option, introduce\n\"git branch (-u|--set-upstream-to) origin/master\" that sets the\ncurrent branch to integrate with 'origin/master' remote tracking\nbranch.\n\nWill merge to 'master' as part of the fifth batch.\n\n* jc/dotdot-is-parent-directory (2012-08-23) 1 commit\n  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-28 at 2f2ae87)\n + specifying ranges: we did not mean to make \"..\" an empty set\n\n\"git log ..\" errored out saying it is both rev range and a path when\nthere is no disambiguating \"--\" is on the command line.  Update the\ncommand line parser to interpret \"..\" as a path in such a case.\n\nWill merge to 'master' as part of the fourth batch.\n\n* jc/maint-mergetool-style-fix (2012-08-23) 1 commit\n  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-28 at ced5868)\n + mergetool: style fixes\n\nWill merge to 'master' as part of the third batch.\n\n* js/compat-itimer (2012-08-24) 1 commit\n - Support for setitimer() on platforms lacking it\n\nPieces to support compilation on __TANDEM.\n\n* js/compat-mkdir (2012-08-24) 1 commit\n  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-28 at e92bf74)\n + compat: some mkdir() do not like a slash at the end\n\nSome mkdir(2) implementations do not want to see trailing slash in\nits parameter.\n\nWill merge to 'master' as part of the third batch.\n\n* js/no-curl-easy-strerror-on-old-curl (2012-08-23) 1 commit\n  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-28 at 25e2e7a)\n + http.c: don't use curl_easy_strerror prior to curl-7.12.0\n\nDone to support compilation on __TANDEM, but is independently useful\nfor people with older version of libcURL.\n\nWill merge to 'master' as part of the third batch.\n\n* js/use-sc-open-max (2012-08-24) 1 commit\n  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-28 at 8b9ac7c)\n + sha1_file.c: introduce get_max_fd_limit() helper\n\nIntroduce get_max_fd_limit() to absorb platforms that do not have\ngetrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE) and/or sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX).\n\nWill merge to 'master' as part of the third batch.\n\n* ph/credential-refactor (2012-08-27) 5 commits\n - wincred: port to generic credential helper (UNTESTED)\n - Merge branch 'ef/win32-cred-helper' into ph/credential-refactor\n - osxkeychain: port to generic credential helper implementation\n - gnome-keyring: port to generic helper implementation\n - contrib: add generic credential helper\n (this branch uses ph/credential-gnome-keyring.)\n\nAttempts to refactor to share code among OSX keychain, Gnome keyring\nand Win32 credential helpers.\n\n* jc/apply-binary-p0 (2012-08-24) 1 commit\n  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-28 at 6fa690c)\n + apply: compute patch->def_name correctly under -p0\n\n\"git apply -p0\" did not parse pathnames on \"diff --git\" line\ncorrectly.  This caused patches that had pathnames in no other\nplaces to be mistakenly rejected (most notably, binary patch that\ndoes not rename nor change mode).  Textual patches, renames or\nmode changes have preimage and postimage pathnames in different\nplaces in a form that can be parsed unambiguously and did not suffer\nfrom this problem.\n\nWill merge to 'master' as part of the fourth batch.\n\n* jc/maint-doc-checkout-b-always-takes-branch-name (2012-08-26) 1 commit\n  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-29 at e0d0f5c)\n + doc: \"git checkout -b/-B/--orphan\" always takes a branch name\n\nThe synopsis said \"checkout [-B branch]\" to make it clear the branch\nname is a parameter to the option, but the heading for the option\ndescription was \"-B::\", not \"-B branch::\", making the documentation\nmisleading.  There may be room in documentation pages of other\ncommands for similar improvements (hint, hint).\n\nWill merge to 'master' as part of the fourth batch.\n\n* jk/maint-http-half-auth-push (2012-08-27) 8 commits\n  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-29 at 0ed32f5)\n + http: prompt for credentials on failed POST\n + http: factor out http error code handling\n + t: test http access to \"half-auth\" repositories\n + t: test basic smart-http authentication\n + t/lib-httpd: recognize */smart/* repos as smart-http\n + t/lib-httpd: only route auth/dumb to dumb repos\n + t5550: factor out http auth setup\n + t5550: put auth-required repo in auth/dumb\n\nPushing to smart HTTP server with recent Git fails without having\nthe username in the URL to force authentication, if the server is\nconfigured to allow GET anonymously, while requiring authentication\nfor POST.\n\nWill merge to 'master' as part of the fourth batch.\n\n* jx/test-real-path (2012-08-27) 1 commit\n - test: set the realpath of CWD as TRASH_DIRECTORY\n\nRunning tests with the \"trash\" directory elsewhere with the \"--root\"\noption did not work well if the directory was specified by a symbolic\nlink pointing at it.\n\nSeems broken as it makes $(pwd) and TRASH_DIRECTORY inconsistent.\nNeeds rerolling.\n\n* mh/fetch-filter-refs (2012-08-26) 17 commits\n - filter_refs(): simplify logic\n - fetch_pack(): free matching heads\n - cmd_fetch_pack(): simplify computation of return value\n - fetch-pack: report missing refs even if no existing refs were received\n - cmd_fetch_pack: return early if finish_connect() returns an error\n - filter_refs(): compress unmatched refs in heads array\n - filter_refs(): do not leave gaps in return_refs\n - filter_refs(): simplify by removing optimization\n - Pass nr_heads to filter_refs() by reference\n - Pass nr_heads to everything_local() by reference\n - Pass nr_heads to do_pack_ref() by reference\n - Let fetch_pack() inform caller about number of unique heads\n - filter_refs(): do not check the same head_pos twice\n - fetch-pack.c: name local variables more consistently\n - fetch_pack(): reindent function decl and defn\n - Rename static function fetch_pack() to http_fetch_pack()\n - t5500: add tests of error output for missing refs\n\nCode simplification and clarification.\nWaiting for a follow-up patch based on Peff's idea.\n\n* nd/branch-v-alignment (2012-08-27) 1 commit\n  (merged to 'next' on 2012-08-29 at 5c0d226)\n + branch -v: align even when branch names are in UTF-8\n\nOutput from \"git branch -v\" contains \"(no branch)\" that could be\nlocalized, but the code to align it along with the names of branches\nwere counting in bytes, not in display columns.\n\nWill merge to 'master' as part of the fourth batch.\n\n* jc/merge-bases (2012-08-31) 9 commits\n - reduce_heads(): reimplement on top of remove_redundant()\n - merge-base: \"--is-ancestor A B\"\n - get_merge_bases_many(): walk from many tips in parallel\n - in_merge_bases(): use paint_down_to_common()\n - merge_bases_many(): split out the logic to paint history\n - in_merge_bases(): omit unnecessary redundant common ancestor reduction\n - http-push: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check\n - receive-pack: use in_merge_bases() for fast-forward check\n - in_merge_bases(): support only one \"other\" commit\n\nOptimise the \"merge-base\" computation a bit, and also update its\nusers that do not need the full merge-base information to call a\ncheaper subset.\n\nWill merge to 'next'.\n\n* jl/submodule-rm (2012-08-27) 1 commit\n - Teach rm to remove submodules unless they contain a git directory\n\n\"git rm submodule\" cannot blindly remove a submodule directory as\nits working tree may have local changes, and worse yet, it may even\nhave its repository embedded in it.  Teach it some special cases\nwhere it is safe to remove a submodule, specifically, when there is\nno local changes in the submodule working tree, and its repository\nis not embedded in its working

While it is technically correct\n(the command line wants to create a new branch whose name is \"--opt\"\nand check it out, and there shouldn't be anything else left on the\ncommand line, but there is \"y\"), \"--opt\" is not a valid name of the\nbranch to begin with, so even without \"y\", the command will not\nsucceed.  Treat this case specially to complain that \"--opt\" is not\na valid branch name.\n"},{"id":"198178","messageId":"5041B90A.5020903@alum.mit.edu","threadId":"31399","inReplyTo":"7v4nnin3xm.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org","subject":"Re: What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2012, #10; Fri, 31)","fromName":"Michael Haggerty","fromEmail":"mhagger@alum.mit.edu","sentAt":"2012-09-01T07:28:10Z","receivedAt":"2012-09-01T07:28:10Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"mhagger@alum.mit.edu","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/119718?v=4"},"body":"On 08/31/2012 11:32 PM, Junio C Hamano wrote:\n> [...]\n> * mh/fetch-filter-refs (2012-08-26) 17 commits\n>  - filter_refs(): simplify logic\n>  - fetch_pack(): free matching heads\n>  - cmd_fetch_pack(): simplify computation of return value\n>  - fetch-pack: report missing refs even if no existing refs were received\n>  - cmd_fetch_pack: return early if finish_connect() returns an error\n>  - filter_refs(): compress unmatched refs in heads array\n>  - filter_refs(): do not leave gaps in return_refs\n>  - filter_refs(): simplify by removing optimization\n>  - Pass nr_heads to filter_refs() by reference\n>  - Pass nr_heads to everything_local() by reference\n>  - Pass nr_heads to do_pack_ref() by reference\n>  - Let fetch_pack() inform caller about number of unique heads\n>  - filter_refs(): do not check the same head_pos twice\n>  - fetch-pack.c: name local variables more consistently\n>  - fetch_pack(): reindent function decl and defn\n>  - Rename static function fetch_pack() to http_fetch_pack()\n>  - t5500: add tests of error output for missing refs\n> \n> Code simplification and clarification.\n> Waiting for a follow-up patch based on Peff's idea.\n\nPlease hold off on merging this anywhere for now.
