What's cooking in git.git (Jun 2013, #02; Tue, 4)

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.

We are in the post-1.8.3 cycle.  As promised, 'next' has been
rewound. A few stalled topics have been ejected and bunch of new
topics that have been cooking are now in it.  I expect these on
'next' to graduate to 'master' soonish, as I picked relatively easy
ones in this round.

You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

    http://git-blame.blogspot.com/p/git-public-repositories.html

--------------------------------------------------
[Graduated to "master"]

* kb/status-ignored-optim-2 (2013-06-02) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-02 at 88ee588)
 + dir.c: fix ignore processing within not-ignored directories

 Fix 1.8.3 regressions in the .gitignore path exclusion logic.

--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]

* ar/wildmatch-foldcase (2013-06-02) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at 3180bcc)
 + wildmatch: properly fold case everywhere

 The wildmatch engine did not honor WM_CASEFOLD option correctly.

 Will merge to 'master'.

* cr/git-work-tree-sans-git-dir (2013-06-03) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at bebedca)
 + git.txt: remove stale comment regarding GIT_WORK_TREE

 These days, "git --work-tree=there cmd" without specifying an
 explicit --git-dir=here will do the usual discovery, but we had a
 description of older behaviour in the documentation.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* fc/do-not-use-the-index-in-add-to-index (2013-06-03) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at 94e7b60)
 + read-cache: trivial style cleanups
 + read-cache: fix wrong 'the_index' usage

 Will merge to 'master'.


* fc/sequencer-skip-quiet (2013-06-03) 8 commits
 - revert/cherry-pick: add --skip option
 - revert/cherry-pick: add --quiet option
 - sequencer: run post-rewrite hook
 - cherry-pick: store rewritten commits
 - SQUASH???
 - cherry-pick: add --skip-empty option
 - sequencer: trivial fix
 - sequencer: remove useless indentation

 I think the post-rewrite hook should not apply to revert, and
 revert should be taught about --skip-empty.  The "copy-notes"
 change was nak'ed, and I agree with Thomas that the external
 interface to the mechanism should be aligned with existing
 notes.rewrite.<command>.

 Waiting for a reroll.

* js/test-ln-s-add (2013-06-02) 11 commits
 - t6035: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite
 - t3509, t4023, t4114: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite
 - t3100: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite
 - t3030: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite
 - t2100: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite
 - t0000: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite
 - tests: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite (trivial cases)
 - tests: introduce test_ln_s and test_ln_s_add
 - t3010: modernize style
 - t2100: modernize style and unroll a loop of test cases
 - test-chmtime: Fix exit code on Windows

 Many tests that check the behaviour of symbolic links stored in the
 index or the tree objects do not have to be skipped on a filesystem
 that lack symbolic link support.

 There seem to be some misconversion, mostly around the use of the
 new test_ln_s helper.

 Waiting for responses to reviews.
 $gmane/226417 and others.


* mt/send-email-cc-match-fix (2013-06-03) 6 commits
 - t/send-email: test suppress-cc=self with non-ascii
 - t/send-email: add test with quoted sender
 - send-email: make --suppress-cc=self sanitize input
 - t/send-email: test suppress-cc=self on cccmd
 - send-email: fix suppress-cc=self on cccmd
 - t/send-email.sh: add test for suppress-cc=self

 It may want to have an additional test case for --from='"A U. Thor"
 <author@example.xz>' to make sure we do not doubly escape what is
 already escaped.

 Some changes in patch 2/6 and a later patch may need to be flipped
 around.


* rr/complete-difftool (2013-06-03) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at 01c7611)
 + completion: clarify ls-tree, archive, show completion
 + completion: difftool takes both revs and files

 Update command line completion (in contrib/) to use a better named
 completion helper function for commands that take revisions and
 paths.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* rr/diffcore-pickaxe-doc (2013-06-03) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at 67d1fc7)
 + diffcore-pickaxe doc: document -S and -G properly
 + diffcore-pickaxe: make error messages more consistent

 Update the low-level diffcore documentation on -S/-G and --pickaxe-all.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* tr/sha1-file-silence-loose-object-info-under-prune-race (2013-06-03) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at e891bb8)
 + sha1_file: silence sha1_loose_object_info

 Will merge to 'master'.


* bp/mediawiki-credential (2013-06-04) 1 commit
 - git-remote-mediawiki: use git.pm functions for credentials

 The bridge to MediaWiki has been updated to use the credential
 helper interface in Git.pm, losing its own and the original
 implementation the former was based on.

 Minor review comments sent.


* mz/rebase-tests (2013-06-03) 7 commits
 - tests: move test for rebase messages from t3400 to t3406
 - t3406: modernize style
 - add tests for rebasing merged history
 - add tests for rebasing root
 - add tests for rebasing of empty commits
 - add tests for rebasing with patch-equivalence present
 - add simple tests of consistency across rebase types

--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]

* mg/more-textconv (2013-05-10) 7 commits
 - grep: honor --textconv for the case rev:path
 - grep: allow to use textconv filters
 - t7008: demonstrate behavior of grep with textconv
 - cat-file: do not die on --textconv without textconv filters
 - show: honor --textconv for blobs
 - diff_opt: track whether flags have been set explicitly
 - t4030: demonstrate behavior of show with textconv

 Make "git grep" and "git show" pay attention to --textconv when
 dealing with blob objects.

 I thought this was pretty well designed and executed, but it seems
 there are some doubts on the list; kicking back to 'pu'.


* mh/multimail (2013-04-21) 1 commit
 - git-multimail: a replacement for post-receive-email

 Waiting for the initial history to pull from.
 $gmane/223564


* jc/format-patch (2013-04-22) 2 commits
 - format-patch: --inline-single
 - format-patch: rename "no_inline" field

 A new option to send a single patch to the standard output to be
 appended at the bottom of a message.  I personally have no need for
 this, but it was easy enough to cobble together.  Tests, docs and
 stripping out more MIMEy stuff are left as exercises to interested
 parties.

 Not ready for inclusion.

 Will discard unless we hear from anybody who is interested in
 tying its loose ends.


* jk/gitweb-utf8 (2013-04-08) 4 commits
 - gitweb: Fix broken blob action parameters on blob/commitdiff pages
 - gitweb: Don't append ';js=(0|1)' to external links
 - gitweb: Make feed title valid utf8
 - gitweb: Fix utf8 encoding for blob_plain, blobdiff_plain, commitdiff_plain, and patch

 Various fixes to gitweb.

 Drew Northup volunteered to take a look into this.
 $gmane/226216


* jk/commit-info-slab (2013-04-19) 3 commits
 - commit-slab: introduce a macro to define a slab for new type
 - commit-slab: avoid large realloc
 - commit: allow associating auxiliary info on-demand
 (this branch is used by jc/show-branch.)

 Technology demonstration to show a way we could use unbound number
 of flag bits on commit objects.


* jc/show-branch (2013-05-21) 5 commits
 - show-branch: use commit slab to represent bitflags of arbitrary width
 - show-branch.c: remove "all_mask"
 - show-branch.c: abstract out "flags" operation
 - show-branch.c: lift all_mask/all_revs to a global static
 - show-branch.c: update comment style
 (this branch uses jk/commit-info-slab.)

 Waiting for the final step to lift the hard-limit before sending it out.

* fc/completion-less-ls-remote (2013-06-02) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at 6624f0b)

 Will merge to 'master'.

  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at b1864fd)
 + Test 'commit --only' after 'checkout --orphan'

 Will merge to 'master'.


* ap/diff-ignore-blank-lines (2013-05-29) 1 commit
 - diff: add --ignore-blank-lines option

 "git diff" learned a mode that ignores hunks whose change consists
 only of additions and removals of blank lines, which is the same as
 "diff -B" (ignore blank lines) of GNU diff.

 Will be rerolled.
 $gmane/226394


* fc/show-branch-in-rebase-am (2013-05-29) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at 176f6b7)
 + prompt: fix for simple rebase

 The bash prompt code (in contrib/) displayed the name of the branch
 being rebased when "rebase -i/-m/-p" modes are in use, but not the
 plain vanilla "rebase".

 Will merge to 'master'.


* ks/difftool-dir-diff-copy-fix (2013-05-29) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at ca0cae0)
 + difftool --dir-diff: allow changing any clean working tree file

 "difftool --dir-diff" did not copy back changes made by the
 end-user in the diff tool backend to the working tree in some
 cases.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* rr/push-head (2013-05-29) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at ecd5be7)
 + push: make push.default = current use resolved HEAD
 + push: fail early with detached HEAD and current
 + push: factor out the detached HEAD error message

 "git push $there HEAD:branch" did not resolve HEAD early enough, so
 it was easy to flip it around while push is still going on and push
 out a branch that the user did not originally intended when the
 command was started.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* sb/archive-zip-double-assignment-fix (2013-05-29) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at c316eec)
 + archive-zip:write_zip_entry: Remove second reset of size variable to zero.

 Will merge to 'master'.

  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at 308fdb4)
 + cygwin: Remove the CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API build variable
 + mingw: rename WIN32 cpp macro to GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE

 Update build for Cygwin 1.[57].  Torsten Bögershausen reports that
 this is fine with Cygwin 1.7 ($gmane/225824) so let's try moving it
 ahead.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* rr/rebase-autostash (2013-05-29) 7 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at 16f7c54)

 + am: tighten a conditional that checks for $dotest

 Will merge to 'master'.


* nd/urls-doc-no-file-hyperlink-fix (2013-05-24) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at 54903b2)
 + urls.txt: avoid auto converting to hyperlink

 Will merge to 'master'.


* cb/log-follow-with-combined (2013-05-28) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at d5bf4f3)
 + fix segfault with git log -c --follow

 Will merge to 'master'.

 + build: trivial simplification
 (this branch is used by fc/remote-helpers-use-specified-python.)

 Will merge to 'master'.


* fc/remote-helpers-use-specified-python (2013-05-28) 4 commits
 - remote-helpers: add exec-path links
 - remote-helpers: allow direct test execution
 - remote-helpers: rename tests
 - remote-helpers: generate scripts
 (this branch uses fc/makefile.)

 I do not particularly think the second from the bottom is a good
 change, but it takes the remainder of the series hostage.

 Waiting for a reroll.


* fc/send-email-chainreplyto-warning (2013-05-28) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at e04764f)

 editor.

 Will merge to 'master'.

  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at a4ee0e0)

 Will merge to 'master'.


* jc/core-checkstat (2013-05-06) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at 2166cb3)

 Will merge to 'next'.


* th/bisect-skip-report-range-fix (2013-05-22) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at 7bd4656)

  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at fb2671c)
 + git-remote-mediawiki: better error message when HTTP(S) access fails

 Hint users when https:// connection failed to check the
 certificate; it is a good hint if we assumie that it is common
 error for the end users to make.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* tg/maint-zsh-svn-remote-prompt (2013-05-22) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at 32a45c0)
 + prompt: fix show upstream with svn and zsh

 zsh prompt script that borrowed from bash prompt script did not
 work due to slight differences in array variable notation between
 these two shells.

 Will merge to 'master'.

  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at 01737d6)

 "git push --[no-]verify" was not documented.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* dm/unbash-subtree (2013-05-21) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at 2c9d2fb)
 + contrib/git-subtree: Use /bin/sh interpreter instead of /bin/bash

 It turns out that git-subtree script does not have to be run with
 bash.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* fc/transport-helper-no-refspec (2013-05-21) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at 8763bda)
 + transport-helper: check if the dry-run is supported
 + transport-helper: barf when user tries old:new

 With "export" remote-helper protocol, (1) a push that tries to
 update a remote ref whose name is different from the pushing side
 does not work yet, and (2) the helper may not know how to do
 --dry-run, so detect such problematic cases and disable them for
 now.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* rr/die-on-missing-upstream (2013-06-02) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-03 at 00847ea)
 + sha1_name: fix error message for @{<N>}, @{<date>}
 + sha1_name: fix error message for @{u}

 When a reflog notation is used for implicit "current branch", we
 did not say which branch and worse said "branch ''".

 Will merge to 'master'.


* fc/remote-bzr (2013-05-28) 8 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at a603082)
 + remote-bzr: add fallback check for a partial clone

 - test-lib: valgrind for only tests matching a pattern
 - test-lib: verbose mode for only tests matching a pattern

 Allows N instances of tests run in parallel, each running 1/N parts
 of the test suite under Valgrind, to speed things up.

 The tip one may be useful in practice but is a tad ugly ;-)

 There seem to be some miscounting by toggling the verbose/valgrind
 mode at wrong places?  Cf. $gmane/225735

 Waiting for a reroll.

* kb/full-history-compute-treesame-carefully-2 (2013-05-16) 15 commits
 - revision.c: make default history consider bottom commits
 - revision.c: don't show all merges for --parents
 - revision.c: discount side branches when computing TREESAME
 - revision.c: add BOTTOM flag for commits
 - simplify-merges: drop merge from irrelevant side branch
 - simplify-merges: never remove all TREESAME parents
 - t6012: update test for tweaked full-history traversal
 - revision.c: Make --full-history consider more merges
 - Documentation: avoid "uninteresting"
 - rev-list-options.txt: correct TREESAME for P
 - t6111: add parents to tests
 - t6111: allow checking the parents as well
 - t6111: new TREESAME test set
 - t6019: test file dropped in -s ours merge
 - decorate.c: compact table when growing

 Major update to a very core part of the system to improve culling
 of irrelevant parents while traversing a mergy history.

 Will not be a 1.8.3 material, but is an important topic.

 Will merge to 'next'.


* mm/color-auto-default (2013-05-15) 2 commits
 - make color.ui default to 'auto'
 - config: refactor management of color.ui's default value

 Flip the default for color.ui to 'auto', which is what many
 tutorials recommend new users to do.  The updated code claims the
 switch happened at Git 2.0 in the past tense, but we might want to
 expedite it, as this change is not all that important to deserve a
 major version bump.

 I'd vote for merging this without waiting for 2.0.  Comments?

 Waiting for a reroll.


* jh/shorten-refname (2013-05-07) 4 commits
 - t1514: refname shortening is done after dereferencing symbolic refs
 - shorten_unambiguous_ref(): Fix shortening refs/remotes/origin/HEAD to origin
 - t1514: Demonstrate failure to correctly shorten "refs/remotes/origin/HEAD"
 - t1514: Add tests of shortening refnames in strict/loose mode

 When remotes/origin/HEAD is not a symbolic ref, "rev-parse
 --abbrev-ref remotes/origin/HEAD" ought to show "origin", not
 "origin/HEAD", which is fixed with this series (if it is a symbolic
 ref that points at remotes/origin/something, then it should show
 "origin/something" and it already does).

 Expecting a reroll, as an early part of a larger series.


* nd/warn-ambiguous-object-name (2013-05-29) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at e87c9d1)
 + get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look like refs

 "git cmd <name>", when <name> happens to be a 40-hex string,
 directly uses the 40-hex string as an object name, even if a ref
 "refs/<some hierarchy>/<name>" exists.  This disambiguation order
 is unlikely to change, but we should warn about the ambiguity just
 like we warn when more than one refs/ hierachies share the same
 name.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* jk/packed-refs-race (2013-05-06) 4 commits
 - for_each_ref: load all loose refs before packed refs
 - get_packed_refs: reload packed-refs file when it changes
 - add a stat_validity struct
 - resolve_ref: close race condition for packed refs

 What is the status of this thing?


* fc/at-head (2013-05-08) 13 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-06-04 at f334a2a)
 + sha1_name: compare variable with constant, not constant with variable
 + Add new @ shortcut for HEAD
 + sha1_name: refactor reinterpret()
 + sha1_name: check @{-N} errors sooner
 + sha1_name: reorganize get_sha1_basic()
 + sha1_name: don't waste cycles in the @-parsing loop
 + sha1_name: remove unnecessary braces
 + sha1_name: remove no-op
 + tests: at-combinations: @{N} versus HEAD@{N}
 + tests: at-combinations: increase coverage
 + tests: at-combinations: improve nonsense()
 + tests: at-combinations: check ref names directly
 + tests: at-combinations: simplify setup

 Instead of typing four capital letters "HEAD", you can say "@"
 instead.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* jk/submodule-subdirectory-ok (2013-04-24) 3 commits
 - submodule: fix quoting in relative_path()
 - submodule: drop the top-level requirement
 - rev-parse: add --prefix option

 Allow various subcommands of "git submodule" to be run not from the
 top of the working tree of the superproject.

 Waiting for a reroll.


* jl/submodule-mv (2013-04-23) 5 commits
 - submodule.c: duplicate real_path's return value
 - rm: delete .gitmodules entry of submodules removed from the work tree
 - Teach mv to update the path entry in .gitmodules for moved submodules
 - Teach mv to move submodules using a gitfile
 - Teach mv to move submodules together with their work trees

 "git mv A B" when moving a submodule A does "the right thing",
 inclusing relocating its working tree and adjusting the paths in
 the .gitmodules file.

 Waiting for a reroll.
