Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/6560 ## Junio C Hamano, 2007-01-27 08:05 Subject: What's in git.git (stable) Message-ID: <7vps90nbbv.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7vps90nbbv.fsf%40assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net ``` I am hoping that we can declare -rc3 and go into a deep freeze after merging Shawn's "describe with accumulated commits since" and Nico's "reflog on HEAD", perhaps by end of the month. I haven't looked at the finishing touches from Shawn I received tonight yet (it is parked in 'pu'). Nico's "reflog on HEAD" looked good (also parked in 'pu'), but I think it needs to teach the repack/prune/fsck/reflog-expire machinery about reflog entries for HEAD -- otherwise a prune can make reflog useless while your HEAD is detached (which may not be a big deal and while I do not deeply care personally, it would be better to consistently protect them like reflog entries for regular refs). Although it is tempting to start futzing with prune and ancestry traversal so that commits hidden by grafts are not lost by it, which was brought up today, I think it should be better dealt with after 1.5.0 (it is not a recent regression). I'd like to take a look at JBF's manual and merge it early -- I fed some small changes to him some time ago but did not have chance to review its recent progress. It deserves attention from wider audience. * The 'master' branch has these since v1.5.0-rc2.

What's the most important material that's not covered? Etc. Not that fixes to the details aren't helpful too, of course. It still feels really rough, so I'm expecting it to take some time before we'd want to point newbies to it as the place to go for an in-depth git introduction. --b. ``` ## J.

If anyone wants to point out material from that document that they found particularly helpful, I'd be happy to help incorporate something similar. But I feel a little uneasy taking large chunks of it without the author's go-ahead. --b. ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2007-01-27 22:00 Subject: Re: What's in git.git (stable) Message-ID: <7vmz44i0z1.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7vmz44i0z1.fsf%40assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net In-Reply-To: <45BB1463.5010806@gmail.com> ``` "Aneesh Kumar K.V" writes: > What about the final version of this doc > [DRAFT] Branching and merging with git from > http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/git/0611/31902.html What about it? The last time I said I was interested in the latest incarnation of it, the response was "will be reposted soon" and we never heard about it after that, I think. ``` ## Bill Lear, 2007-01-28 19:34 Subject: Re: What's in git.git (stable) Message-ID: <17852.64183.371967.470683@lisa.zopyra.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/17852.64183.371967.470683%40lisa.zopyra.com In-Reply-To: <7vps90nbbv.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> ``` On Saturday, January 27, 2007 at 00:05:56 (-0800) Junio C Hamano writes: >I am hoping that we can declare -rc3 and go into a deep freeze >after merging Shawn's "describe with accumulated commits since" >and Nico's "reflog on HEAD", perhaps by end of the month.

Not really. I personally think it is Ok as long as the default stays disabled as Linus posted. ```
