Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. Others commits may be stashed in 'offcuts'. The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * ab/pserver (Fri Dec 14 04:08:51 2007 +0000) 1 commit - Authentication support for pserver This needs careful security audit and a fix to its password database format. Plaintext in .git/config is not acceptable. * rs/pretty-safety (Thu Dec 20 13:20:15 2007 +0100) 1 commit - Serious bug with pretty format strings & empty bodies? I do not think what this addresses is any "serious" problem in real life. But on the other hand I do not think it hurts. Will take a look at it again and will merge. * ar/commit-cleanup (Sat Dec 22 19:46:24 2007 +0100) 4 commits + Allow selection of different cleanup modes for commit messages + builtin-commit: avoid double-negation in the code. + builtin-commit: fix amending of the initial commit + t7005: do not exit inside test. This is cleaned up since the last version Alex posted, and the first three are fixes and clean-ups, so they will be merged. The primary purpose of this series by Alex is to allow commits to be made verbatim without stripping lines that begin with '#' in the commit log messages, which would be a worthy goal, so I do not mind merging it in 1.5.4. * ph/describe-match (Fri Dec 21 22:49:54 2007 +0100) 1 commit + git-describe: Add a --match option to limit considered tags. Even though this is a new feature, the impact to the main codepath is minimum and I think it is Ok to merge it in 1.5.4, but still seems to have a funny interaction with --contains. So it will be on hold. * jc/sys-select (Tue Dec 18 01:52:07 2007 -0800) 1 commit - Do not include <sys/select.h> on pre- POSIX.1-2001 systems This was done to help HP-UX port, but it appears that HP-UX headers do not like to cooperate with usual _POSIX_VERSION rule, so we probably need to scrap it and instead use manual configuration instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to 'master'] * jc/api-doc (Sat Nov 24 23:48:04 2007 -0800) 1 commit The primary reason of this series is because I think we made the system a lot less approachable by losing hackability. Although we still have sample scripts in contrib/example for use of plumbing in scripts, they will not help aspiring git-hacker-wannabees when our primary attention has already shifted to moving things to C. This currently consists of mostly stubs, although I wrote about a few topics as examples. Nice to have in v1.5.4, but we need more writers. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Will cook further in 'next' and then merge to 'master' soon] Nothing to see. We are in -rc. Please test 'master'. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Actively cooking] Nothing to see. We are in -rc. Please test 'master'. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [On hold] * nd/dashless (Wed Nov 28 23:21:57 2007 +0700) 1 commit - Move all dashed-form commands to libexecdir I think this is a sane thing to do in the longer term. Will be in 'next' after v1.5.4. I think "leave porcelain on PATH" might be also a good thing as a transition measure. Incidentally, if we do not install dashed form of built-ins anywhere (which is not this series is about --- this is just moving them out of user's PATH), "git help -a" will stop showing them. I am not enthused about removing the hardlinks to built-ins to begin with, but people who want such a change need to first modify help.c:list_commands() to pick up builtins without having git-foo hardlinks in gitexecdir. This may need to happen anyway as mingw fallouts. * js/remote (Wed Dec 5 19:02:15 2007 +0000) 4 commits . Make git-remote a builtin . Test "git remote show" and "git remote prune" . parseopt: add flag to stop on first non option . path-list: add functions to work with unsorted lists This and Kristian's "git-clone in C" are on hold and will need to be rebased, post 1.5.4. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * ns/checkout-push-pop (Wed Dec 5 07:04:06 2007 +0900) 1 commit - git-checkout --push/--pop A reasonably cleanly written cute hack, and I do not see this breaking the normal codepath. But I tend to agree with people that 'push' is too late for forgetful mortals, and just a single "previous" would be easier to use. * jc/git-symref (Tue Dec 11 16:42:46 2007 -0800) 1 commit - PARK: show-symref protocol extension. This is a demonstration of a possible component in the future direction for HEAD discovery done by git-clone. * js/reflog-delete (Wed Oct 17 02:50:45 2007 +0100) 1 commit + Teach "git reflog" a subcommand to delete single entries * jk/builtin-alias (Fri Nov 30 11:22:58 2007 -0500) 1 commit + Support builtin aliases Even the original author has slight NAK on this and I tend to agree. May want to eventurally revert from 'next' but we are not in a hurry even to do that. * jc/diff-pathspec (Sun Nov 25 10:03:48 2007 -0800) 1 commit - Making ce_path_match() more useful by accepting globs This was to allow "git diff-files -- '*.h'" (currently diff family knows only the leading directory match and not fileglobs), but was shot down by Alex. I tend to agree with him. * jc/dashless (Sat Dec 1 22:09:22 2007 -0800) 2 commits - Prepare execv_git_cmd() for removal of builtins from the filesystem - git-shell: accept "git foo" form We do not plan to remove git-foo form completely from the filesystem at this point, so these are not strictly necessary. * jc/diff-relative (Thu Dec 6 09:48:32 2007 -0800) 1 commit . Make "diff" Porcelain output paths as relative to subdirectory. * jc/pathspec (Thu Sep 13 13:38:19 2007 -0700) 3 commits . pathspec_can_match(): move it from builtin-ls-tree.c to tree.c . ls-tree.c: refactor show_recursive() and rename it. . tree-diff.c: split out a function to match a single pattern. * jc/cherry-pick (Sun Dec 16 21:00:03 2007 -0800) 2 commits . beginning of use of replay merge in revert . revert/cherry-pick: start refactoring call to merge_recursive * jc/nu (Sun Oct 14 22:07:34 2007 -0700) 3 commits . merge-nu: a new merge backend without using unpack_trees() . read_tree: take an explicit index structure . gcc 4.2.1 -Werror -Wall -ansi -pedantic -std=c99: minimum fix
