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] * db/send-email-omit-cc (Tue Dec 25 19:56:29 2007 -0800) 1 commit - git-send-email: Generalize auto-cc recipient mechanism. New feature which seems to be nice, but will be postponed. * bf/remote-head (Sun Dec 23 20:52:32 2007 -0500) 1 commit . git-remote: make add -f guess HEAD, as clone does New feature which could be used in rewriting git-clone as a thin wrapper around other commands, but there are conflicting proposals from Kristian and Dscho, which are post 1.5.4 item. We'll see how they pan out. * jc/sha1-lookup (Sun Dec 30 03:13:27 2007 -0800) 2 commits - sha1-lookup: make selection of 'middle' less aggressive - sha1-lookup: more memory efficient search in sorted list of SHA-1 Micro-optimization whose real world benefit is not proven. Definitely post 1.5.4. * jc/diff-hunk-header (Wed Jan 2 01:50:11 2008 -0800) 2 commits - diff: do not chomp hunk-header in the middle of a character - utf8_width(): allow non NUL-terminated input This is rewritten version of Shibata's patch. We may need this in 1.5.4 to help the real world issue the kernel documentaiton i18n folks are already having. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to 'master'] Nothing to see, as we are in -rc freeze. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Will cook further in 'next' and then merge to 'master' soon] Nothing to see, as we are in -rc freeze. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Actively cooking] Nothing to see, as we are in -rc freeze. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [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. * ph/describe-match (Mon Dec 24 12:18:22 2007 +0100) 2 commits + git-name-rev: add a --(no-)undefined option. + git-describe: Add a --match option to limit considered tags. * js/reflog-delete (Fri Jan 4 19:11:37 2008 -0600) 2 commits + builtin-reflog.c: fix typo that accesses an unset variable + Teach "git reflog" a subcommand to delete single entries I haven't queued Brandon's "git stash drop", as the command name and the UI is undecided yet, but this series will serve as the basis of such a feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * 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. * 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. * 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. * 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 (Mon Dec 24 00:51:01 2007 -0800) 4 commits - PARK: Start using replay-tree merge in cherry-pick - revert/cherry-pick: start refactoring call to merge_recursive - expose a helper function peel_to_type(). - merge-recursive: split low-level merge functions out. I shouldn't be wasting time arguing and spending a bit more time on 'master' and also on this.
