What's cooking in git.git (topics)

Probably a few topics from the following will graduate to 'master' this weekend, but otherwise I expect that I'll be extremely slow and won't be doing much git next week.

Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order.

"pu" also contains "pu" from git-gui as of tonight.

* ar/clone (Wed Jun 6 16:39:05 2007 -0700) 1 commit
 - Fix clone to setup the origin if its name ends with .git

This is meant to be merged to 'maint' as part of 1.5.2.2, but I am taking things slowly.

* js/merge (Tue Jun 5 03:37:13 2007 +0100) 1 commit
 + git-merge-file: refuse to merge binary files

This series needs to be cherry-picked to 'maint' at some point.

* js/filter (Wed Jun 6 20:38:35 2007 +0200) 8 commits
 + filter-branch: also don't fail in map() if a commit cannot be
   mapped
 + filter-branch: Use rev-list arguments to specify revision ranges.
 + filter-branch: fix behaviour of '-k'
 + filter-branch: use $(($i+1)) instead of $((i+1))
 + chmod +x git-filter-branch.sh
 + filter-branch: prevent filters from reading from stdin
 + t7003: make test repeatable
 + Add git-filter-branch

Johannes & Johannes work well together ;-). Will push out to 'master' shortly.

* lh/submodule (Wed Jun 6 11:13:02 2007 +0200) 2 commits
 + git-submodule: clone during update, not during init
 + git-submodule: move cloning into a separate function

Will push out to 'master' shortly.

* aj/pack (Sun Jun 3 20:21:41 2007 +0200) 1 commit
 + pack-check: Sort entries by pack offset before unpacking them.

Makes "git fsck --full" go a lot faster. Will push out to 'master' shortly.

* aw/cvs (Mon Jun 4 10:01:49 2007 +0100) 3 commits
 + cvsimport: add <remote>/HEAD reference in separate remotes more
 + cvsimport: update documentation to include separate remotes option
 + cvsimport: add support for new style remote layout

Makes the ref layout consistent with git managed branches; git-svn already does this, I think.

* ep/cvstag (Sun Jun 3 02:56:36 2007 -0400) 1 commit
 + Use git-tag in git-cvsimport

Instead of handrolling a tag using lower-level mktag, this uses git-tag.

* jh/tag (Mon Jun 4 02:54:56 2007 +0200) 6 commits
 + Add fsck_verify_ref_to_tag_object() to verify that refname matches
   name stored in tag object
 + git-mktag tests: Fix and expand the mktag tests according to the
   new tag object structure
 + Documentation/git-mktag: Document the changes in tag object
   structure
 + git-fsck: Do thorough verification of tag objects.
 + git-show: When showing tag objects with no tag name, show tag
   object's SHA1 instead of an empty string
 + Refactor git tag objects; make "tag" header optional; introduce
   new optional "keywords" header

Tag refactoring.  Looking good.

* ml/worktree (Wed Jun 6 23:29:59 2007 +0200) 8 commits
 - setup_git_directory: fix segfault if repository is found in cwd
 - test GIT_WORK_TREE
 - extend rev-parse test for --is-inside-work-tree
 - Use new semantics of is_bare/inside_git_dir/inside_work_tree
 - introduce GIT_WORK_TREE to specify the work tree
 - test git rev-parse
 - rev-parse: introduce --is-bare-repository
 - rev-parse: document --is-inside-git-dir

Allows you to have GIT_DIR environment that points at a repository at an unrelated location, and still lets you work in a working tree subdirectory by pointing its root with another environment variable. It is an intrusive set of changes.

* ei/worktree+filter (Wed Jun 6 09:16:56 2007 +0200) 1 commit
 - filter-branch: always export GIT_DIR if it is set

This is "early integration" that depends on two other topics (GIT_WORK_TREE and filter-branch). This needs to be merged when both topics graduate to 'master'.

* dh/repack (Fri May 25 14:40:24 2007 -0700) 1 commit
 - Enhance unpack-objects for live repo and large objects

* jc/blame (Fri Apr 20 16:25:50 2007 -0700) 4 commits
 - blame: show log as it goes
 - git-blame: optimize get_origin() from linear search to hash-
   lookup.
 - git-blame: pass "struct scoreboard *" pointers around.
 - blame: lift structure definitions up

* jc/diff (Mon Dec 25 01:08:50 2006 -0800) 2 commits
 - test-para: combined diff between HEAD, index and working tree.
 - para-walk: walk n trees, index and working tree in parallel
