Yeah, thanks for explaining it to me.  I realized the overlap between them
immediately after I sent the message out X-<.

Ok. I am submitting another patch on top of yours and Nanako's with some additional explanation and guidance, as well as some rewording and reorganization. I also corrected an error that skillzero caught earlier.

I think the basics of Junio's message re rotating 'master', 'maint', and 'maint-one-rev-old' are already in the document, so I haven't added anything explicit regarding that.

Squashing is fine with me.

I *am* a native English speaker. Sadly, its the *only* language I speak, read, and write. However, additional comments would definitely be nice.

I added it back in with the additional explanation that the public announcement is not necessary. I think its important for a reader to understand how the 'pu' branch might be maintained. Besides, the title of the section includes pu, so some discussion around pu is warranted, or the title should change also.

Agree. I reworded the sections to untangle the information somewhat. Let me know what you think.

* [PATCH v3] Speed up bash completion loading
From: Jonathan Nieder @ 2009-11-18  0:49 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Stephen Boyd
  Cc: SZEDER Gábor, Junio C Hamano, Kirill Smelkov,
	Sverre Rabbelier, Shawn O. Pearce, git
In-Reply-To: <4B010D42.4090902@gmail.com>

Since git is not used in each and every interactive xterm, it
seems best to load completion support with cold caches and then
load each needed thing lazily.  This has most of the speed
advantage of pre-generating everything at build time, without the
complication of figuring out at build time what commands will be
available at run time.

On this slow laptop, this decreases the time to load
git-completion.bash from about 500 ms to about 175 ms.

I generally find set-if-unset a little more intuitive.  But some users
might install and try out git completion before realizing the need to
install git, and in this case set-if-empty gives better behavior.

Thanks.

The biggest problem with the convention is not so much to impose our 
ideas on people, but that people have a tendency to, like I said, 
cut/paste the first thing they come across and never change it.

This isn't a bash on implementers by any stretch of the imagination, 
it's just that most people are not going to be well versed in 
git/gitweb, aren't going to understand some of the subtleties  and 
aren't going to want to actually read the complexities in documentation. 
  So by recommending good, generic, defaults means that people will, by 
default, get a better result.

Yup, still...

Usually you leave it in if all you've done is address minor reviewer
comments and they had actually supplied an Acked-by line for the
prior version.

Its also usually fine to leave it like this, because there is a
good chance that the reviewer will agree with the new version and
it saves Junio from needing to insert the line himself later.

But it would be bad form to leave an Acked-by in if there was a major
rewrite.  E.g. this particular fix has gone through some really major
rework to reach this point, keeping an Acked-by from the very first
"speedup loading" patch (which IIRC computed them at build time) into
this one would be quite unfriendly.

* [PATCH v4 00/12] Reroll of the remote-vcs-helper series
From: Sverre Rabbelier @ 2009-11-18  1:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git List, Johannes Schindelin, Daniel Barkalow, Johan Herland

I'd say these are all good for next (assuming Daniel doesn't spot
any mistakes). Daniel, valgrind reports some more memory leaks, but
are not introduced by this series. I have fixed the few obvious ones
that I pointed out in my earlier mail though.

I ejected the 'gitdir' patch since it'll have to wait till after the
sr/gfi-options reroll.

If I can find some time I'll send a version of 'git-remote-hg' that
has read-only support for local hg repositories later on.

Daniel Barkalow (8):
      Fix memory leak in helper method for disconnect
      Allow programs to not depend on remotes having urls
      Use a function to determine whether a remote is valid
      Allow fetch to modify refs
      Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs
      Add support for "import" helper command
      Allow helper to map private ref names into normal names
      Allow helpers to report in "list" command that the ref is unchanged

Johan Herland (1):
      Basic build infrastructure for Python scripts

Johannes Schindelin (1):
      Allow specifying the remote helper in the url

Sverre Rabbelier (2):
      Fix various memory leaks in transport-helper.c
      Add Python support library for remote helpers

Since some cases may need to disconnect from the helper and reconnect,
wrap the function that just disconnects in a function that also frees
transport->data.

From: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org>

For fetch and ls-remote, which use the first url of a remote, have
transport_get() determine this by passing a remote and passing NULL
for the url. For push, which uses every url of a remote, use each url
in turn if there are any, and use NULL if there are none.

This will allow the transport code to do something different if the
location is not specified with a url.

Also, have the message for a fetch say "foreign" if there is no url.

This allows the transport to use the null sha1 for a ref reported to
be present in the remote repository to indicate that a ref exists but
its actual value is presently unknown and will be set if the objects
are fetched.

Also adds documentation to the API to specify exactly what the methods
should do and how they should interpret arguments.

* [PATCH v4 05/12] Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs
From: Sverre Rabbelier @ 2009-11-18  1:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git List, Johannes Schindelin, Daniel Barkalow, Johan Herland
  Cc: Daniel Barkalow, Sverre Rabbelier
In-Reply-To: <1258508552-20752-5-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com>

From: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org>

If this is set, the url is not required, and the transport always uses
a helper named "git-remote-<value>".

It is a separate configuration option in order to allow a sensible
configuration for foreign systems which either have no meaningful urls
for repositories or which require urls that do not specify the system
used by the repository at that location. However, this only affects
how the name of the helper is determined, not anything about the
interaction with the helper, and the contruction is such that, if the
foreign scm does happen to use a co-named url method, a url with that
method may be used directly.

* [PATCH v4 07/12] Add support for "import" helper command
From: Sverre Rabbelier @ 2009-11-18  1:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git List, Johannes Schindelin, Daniel Barkalow, Johan Herland
  Cc: Daniel Barkalow, Sverre Rabbelier
In-Reply-To: <1258508552-20752-7-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com>

From: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org>

This command, supported if the "import" capability is advertized,
allows a helper to support fetching by outputting a git-fast-import
stream.

If both "fetch" and "import" are advertized, git itself will use
"fetch" (although other users may use "import" in this case).

* [PATCH v4 11/12] Basic build infrastructure for Python scripts
From: Sverre Rabbelier @ 2009-11-18  1:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git List, Johannes Schindelin, Daniel Barkalow, Johan Herland
  Cc: Johan Herland
In-Reply-To: <1258508552-20752-11-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com>

From: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net>

This patch adds basic boilerplate support (based on corresponding Perl
sections) for enabling the building and installation Python scripts.

There are currently no Python scripts being built, and when Python
scripts are added in future patches, their building and installation
can be disabled by defining NO_PYTHON.

* [PATCH v4 12/12] Add Python support library for remote helpers
From: Sverre Rabbelier @ 2009-11-18  1:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git List, Johannes Schindelin, Daniel Barkalow, Johan Herland
  Cc: Sverre Rabbelier, David Aguilar, Johan Herland
In-Reply-To: <1258508552-20752-12-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com>

This patch introduces parts of a Python package called
"git_remote_helpers" containing the building blocks for
remote helpers written in Python.

No actual remote helpers are part of this patch, this patch only
includes the common basics needed to start writing such helpers.

The patch includes the necessary Makefile additions to build and
install the git_remote_helpers Python package along with the rest of
Git.

This patch is based on Johan Herland's git_remote_cvs patch and
has been improved by the following contributions:
- David Aguilar: Lots of Python coding style fixes
- David Aguilar: DESTDIR support in Makefile

* [PATCH v4 08/12] Allow helper to map private ref names into normal names
From: Sverre Rabbelier @ 2009-11-18  1:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git List, Johannes Schindelin, Daniel Barkalow, Johan Herland
  Cc: Daniel Barkalow
In-Reply-To: <1258508552-20752-8-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com>

From: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org>

This allows a helper to say that, when it handles "import
refs/heads/topic", the script it outputs will actually write to
refs/svn/origin/branches/topic; therefore, transport-helper should
read it from the latter location after git-fast-import completes.

Signed-off-by: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org>

	This has Daniel's documentation and leak fixes squashed in.

* Re: [PATCH] (to improve gitosis support) CVS Server: Support reading  base and roots from environment
From: Phil Miller @ 2009-11-18  4:11 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git Mailing List
In-Reply-To: <81f018ac0911120925w848594dt276735955681e8f@mail.gmail.com>

I've seen no response or comment on this since sending it in. Does it
need revision of some sort? Did it just get lost in the shuffle? I'll
be happy to do the legwork to get this integrated, so that I don't
have to carry it in a private git tree.

* [RFC PATCH 5/6] gitweb: Allow per-repository definition of new committags
From: Marcel M. Cary @ 2009-11-18  6:22 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Jakub Narebski, git
  Cc: Petr Baudis, Giuseppe Bilotta, Francis Galiegue, Marcel M. Cary
In-Reply-To: <1258525350-5528-5-git-send-email-marcel@oak.homeunix.org>

Committags are limited to the functionality configured by the site
administrator.

Provide two more general purpose committag subroutines that replace
text by feeding the capturing groups of a pattern to a sprintf format.
One additionally escapes the parameters of the capturing groups for
producing HTML snippets, the other does not.

Then, if permitted by the site administrator, allow the 'sub' key to
be overridden in an existing committag and allow a new committag to be
defined completely from within the repository configuration.

* [RFC PATCH 3/6] gitweb: Allow finer-grained override controls for committags
From: Marcel M. Cary @ 2009-11-18  6:22 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Jakub Narebski, git
  Cc: Petr Baudis, Giuseppe Bilotta, Francis Galiegue, Marcel M. Cary
In-Reply-To: <1258525350-5528-3-git-send-email-marcel@oak.homeunix.org>

Currently, a site administrator must choose between allowing all or
none of a committag's options to be overridden in the project config.
However, a site admin may wish to permit specifying a bugzilla URL
without risking a maliciously resource hungry regular expression.

Allow the site admin to specify which committag parameters may be
overridden.  Preserve the behavior of the original 0 and 1 override
specifications.

Thanks for the feedback.  I've added four more patches to the end of

I'm not sure I would call the context of the bug numbers
"notifications".  A good example of what I'm looking for is to
hyperlink "Resolves-bug: 1234" to
http://bugzilla.example.com/show_bug.cgi?bug_id=1234.  I suppose this
could be seen as a notification of bug 1234's resolution, except that
I expect the more complex bugs (bugs, issues, and features) to require
several commits to resolve, each of which I'd like tagged with that
bug number, and so the bug would not really be resolved after the
first such commit.

I've rewritten the commit message paragraph as you suggested.  Is it
now more inline with what you'd like to see?

So far, the biggest difficulty in generalizing the bugzilla hyperlink
feature has been the interaction between two or more commit tag
transformations -- how to structure them so they are composable but
decoupled.

The original patch still did the HTML escaping.  I don't see much
value in implementing this transformation as a committag since it
wouldn't be useful to configure it, and I don't really see it making
the code more clear or concise.  Did you have any particular reasons?

I'll exclude the mailing list references from the commit message since
they describe how I arrived at this set of changes rather than
describing the changes themselves.

That is the Bugtraq spec, although I had been looking at a text-only
version of it at the time.  I can't seem to find the text-only
document, but I think that one explains it just as well.

Very well then, I'll leave everything related to the other git tools

Yes, it seems manageable to process the whole commit message at once
rather than line by line.  I've made this change to support patch 4 of
this series.

This is a great example of the kind of decision I'd like to make
up-front to avoid breaking existing configs later:
gitweb.committag.<name>.<key> vs. committag.<name>.<key>.  I'm not
very interested in adding the git-gui / gitk feature myself.  Is
anyone actually interested in this feature?  If not, perhaps it should
stay under gitweb.committag.<name>.<key>.  And even if there is
interest in the git-gui / gitk features, perhaps it would make sense
to start with the gitweb-specific version of the config variable names
and once there is cross-tool support, keep those configs as overrides
for gitweb only?

Yes, I imagine there is a risk of abuse in allowing patterns to be
configurable.  That's one reason why the site config can disallow
per-project configuration of regexes.  Are you suggesting there be a
separate flag to allow override of regexes than to allow override of
other parameters?  For example, with a separate flag for regexes,
repo.or.cz could allow you to configure the bug tracker URL but not
the bug regex.  I've added very fine grain support for allowing only
some options to be overridden in patch 3 of this series.

Yes.  I've removed the running commentary, since it seems to be in the

Sounds as though there is no interest in changing the name to
something that more clearly describes the feature (asside from my own,
but I'd like a little more validation...).  Let's stick with
committag.

I believe I've addressed your request by adding a comment that
applies to all tags.  Because of the similarity of the tags, I don't
think it would be very useful to do this for each tag.  Does the 'url'
option used on two of the tags need further explanation?

I liked 'override' close to the 'options' hash because that is what it
controls.  The 'sub' key was not overridable per-project no matter how
you configure gitweb.  Now it is, so maybe now 'override' could go
last.  Or first.  But really, I don't think the order matters much.

Ok, I'll use a neutral URL for the mantis default.

I'd rather use a regex-style or sprintf-style syntax that could be
used by all committags.  I started with just an opaque string to
prepend to the bug ID because it was the simplest way to fulfill my
requirements, but it's certainly plausible that a BTS would want urls
like "example.com/bug/1234/detail" in which case the prepending
strategy isn't sufficient.  Again, ideally we'd decide now whether to
use '$1' or '%s' so we don't break configs later.  If the bugtraq
feature is implemented at some point, those config parameters can
still use the %BUGID% placeholder.

Actually, I think I started with a URL regex mentioned on-list and
then tweaked it until I thought it worked well enough.

Most of the regexes I found on the web had issues.  They tended to be
too long because they were trying to precisely validate the URL or
because they were trying to parse all the different parts of the url,
or they did not deal with the trailing punctuation problem: I don't
want the period (".") to be highlighted in this context: "See
http://example.com/foo."  I think it's a valid URL even with the
period, but typically the period will not be part of the URL.  On the
other hand, "http://example.com/foo.html" should be completely
highlighted in spite of the period.

> git:// ?

I'va added more schemes, but it's also possible to leave those as a
customization.  In my organization, it would be very uncommon for
someone to follow a URL with any of those schemes.  I'd be willing to
allow any scheme that matches "[a-z]+://".  I don't care about stuff
like "data:literal+text", and "mailto:" is also less interesting to
me.  (I'd rather add a committag to match the email address without a
"mailto:".)  And then there's those pesky windows file sharing
thingies like '\\server\directory' that work like URLs in Internet
Explorer.  I'd rather not include them in the URL committag... but a
site admin could certainly configure a committag for it.  Here's a
list schemes for which KDE allegedly supports retreival of metadata:

bluetooth, fish, ftp, imap(s), invitation, iso, ldap(s), mac, mdns,
nfs, nntp(s), nxfish, obex, pop3(s), print, printdb, sdp, service,
sftp, slp, smb, smtp(s), webdav(s)

I wouldn't want to enumerate all of those, but, in addition to the
three you suggest, these look most useful to me: sftp, smb, webdav(s),
nfs.  So really I think it comes down to whether we want to enumerate
them or just match any scheme, and risk matching something that was
not intended as a URL.  And if we enumerate, how many do we want to
list.

What do you think of the new list of schemes in patch 1?  I've
included several more than before.

The most important change is that the semicolon is removed.  I
also made the dash optional.  It wasn't clear to me whether this was
intended to match a header-style reference:

    Message-Id: <asdf@example.com>

Or a casual mention:

    In msgid <asdf@example.com>, John Doe says...

But I like the latter, and would like the former to still be
supported.

Thanks for the tip.  Is there another common mail archive site
that allows looking up emails by message-id?  If so, I'd love to
mention the url in the comment for that committag.  I think we need to
strike a balance between having things work with minimal configuration
and avoiding the promotion of specific web sites that won't make sense
for most sites using a particular committag.  So, unless there is a
whole slew of web sites that provide this feature, I'd suggest leaving
the specific URL in.

Yes, although if we decided it was sub-optimal link text, I'd be
happy to use a less generic mechanism.

I like the notion of names rather than numberic indices, but I'm
hesitant to require site admins to use unfamiliar Perl regex syntax to
configure committags.  Of two admins I asked, neither could make sense
of the sample regex.  If wouldn't want a site admin to *have* to learn
new syntax to configure regexes.

I chose to add that explanation in the section that describes the
configuration of committags rather than in this section that defines
the list of active committags.  Sound ok?

I didn't understand how this would be very useful until I added
the signoff committag.  The use case I see is that it allows the
gitweb distribution to adjust the base functionality, in this case by
pushing some functionality into a committag, without project owners
needing to reconfigure their repositories.  Site admins don't need
this because they can use "push" or "unshift" to preserve the
distributed committags, right?  The project owner should get the
distribution default, not the site default, when they write "default",
right?  Are there other use cases you had in mind?  A potential
implementation is in patch 6.

Thanks for pointing out the opportunity to fold the feature list
functions together.

Sounds like you're asking me to move the function call after the
function definition.  I've made the change, but I'm also curious to
know why you have that preference.  I sometimes find it less readable,
as in this case.

I thought the check for $git_dir would prevent loading it for
non-project-specific pages.  Even so, I suppose we might load the
config on a page like the shortlog page that doesn't need it.

Are you saying I should be using other subroutines that already
exist in gitweb rather than implementing my own?  Are you thinking of
git_get_project_config?  If I understand correctly, it requires me to
enumerate all the config keys I want.  I'd rather not require the
committags to have a predetermined set of possible config keys.  I see
now that I could still call git_get_project_config to load data into
%config and access that directly... I didn't do it before because it
seems to violate some kind of abstraction.

Well... it means both not processing and HTML escaping.  The string
refs will also not be escaped in the final processing step.

Sure.  I chose @message_fragments as the less generic name for @list.

Hehe, that bit of code is mostly yours, which you posted on this list
ages ago. (:  I suppose we should try to get your signoff into the
first patch of the series?

Ok, I guess I'll leave the subroutine prototype in then.  I don't
understand all the implications, so if you think it'll work well
without the prototype, I'm happy to remove it.  This is code
that I think you posted to the list.

I see there is some precedent for adding lib-foo.sh files.  Perhaps it
would be appropriate to move parts of the no-errors test into a
lib-gitweb.sh?  Like gitweb_init, most of gitweb_run, and maybe the
perl checks (which are that way for lib-git-svn.sh)?  I'm all for
separating the tests.  I don't like having to keep telling the test to
skip the first 85 cases when all I want to run is the committag stuff.

Actually, looks like Mark Rada already made a gitweb-lib.sh which was
exactly the same as the one I'd made except the name of the lib (vs.
lib-gitweb.sh) and the name of the file holding gitweb output.  I've
rebased onto those changes.

Would this mean people need to install some Mechanize stuff before
they can run the tests?  I think I'd rather avoid the dependency as
long as grep seems to do the trick.
