Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of the integration branches, but I am still holding onto them. Topics not in 'next' will have to wait until post 1.7.1 cycle. I expect that the changes already under discussion will be ready by the time the post 1.7.1 cycle begins, and we will hopefully have a cycle for 1.7.2 that is shorter than usual to include them. -------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to "master"] * sb/notes-parse-opt (2010-02-27) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-03-24 at 82eebc1) + notes: rework subcommands and parse options * cc/cherry-pick-ff (2010-03-20) 7 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-03-20 at a1ae16b) + revert: fix tiny memory leak in cherry-pick --ff + rebase -i: use new --ff cherry-pick option (merged to 'next' on 2010-03-07 at 5589b26) + Documentation: describe new cherry-pick --ff option + cherry-pick: add tests for new --ff option + revert: add --ff option to allow fast forward when cherry-picking + builtin/merge: make checkout_fast_forward() non static + parse-options: add parse_options_concat() to concat options -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * cw/ws-indent-with-tab (2010-04-01) 2 commits - whitespace: we cannot "catch all errors known to git" anymore - Add tab-in-indent whitespace error class Not quite ready until "apply --whitespace=fix" gets a matching change. * ic/bash-completion-rpm (2010-03-26) 1 commit - RPM spec: include bash completion support This is needed in 'master' by -rc1 at the latest. Soon in 'next'. * js/grep-open (2010-03-26) 2 commits - grep -O: allow optional argument specifying the pager (or editor) - grep: Add the option '--open-files-in-pager' Probably needs to support --no-index mode as well. * mg/notes-reflog (2010-03-29) 2 commits - refs.c: Write reflogs for notes just like for branch heads - t3301-notes: Test the creation of reflog entries Implementation is trivially correct; I am unsure if "notes" tree wants reflog in the first place, though. Please convince me and I'll move it to 'next' soon, aiming for -rc0 or -rc1 at the latest. * rr/remote-helper-doc (2010-03-28) 2 commits - Documentation/remote-helpers: Fix some typos - Documentation/remote-helpers: Rewrite description Although I lost track of this series with too rapid succession of updates, intermixed with some documentation updates in the related areas, my impression is that area experts haven't Acked them yet. * sr/remote-helper-export (2010-03-29) 7 commits - remote-helpers: add tests for testgit helper - remote-helpers: add testgit helper - remote-helpers: add support for an export command - remote-helpers: allow requesing the path to the .git directory - fast-import: always create marks_file directories - clone: also configure url for bare clones - clone: pass the remote name to remote_get May merge to 'next', but I would prefer waiting til 1.7.2 to have this with a confidence than fast-tracking it. * cc/revert-strategy (2010-03-31) 5 commits - revert: add "--strategy" option to choose merge strategy - merge: make function try_merge_command non static - merge: refactor code that calls "git merge-STRATEGY" - revert: refactor merge recursive code into its own function - revert: use strbuf to refactor the code that writes the merge message (this branch uses jn/merge-diff3-label.) May merge to 'next' soon, but this is more about debugging and we are not in a great hurry. * mr/gitweb-jsmin (2010-04-01) 6 commits - gitweb: update INSTALL to use shorter make target - gitweb: add documentation to INSTALL regarding gitweb.js - instaweb: add minification awareness - Gitweb: add autoconfigure support for minifiers - Gitweb: add support for minifying gitweb.css - Gitweb: add ignore and clean rules for minified files Soon in 'next' when minor rewording replacement patches come; otherwise felt solid. * sc/http-late-auth (2010-04-01) 1 commit - Prompt for a username when an HTTP request 401s May merge to 'next', but I would prefer waiting til 1.7.2 to have this with a confidence than fast-tracking it. * hg/convert (2010-03-29) 5 commits . convert: Added core.refilteronadd feature. . convert: Inhibit contraction of foreign $Id$ during stats. . convert: Use the enum constant SAFE_CRLF_FALSE. . convert: Keep foreign $Id$ on checkout. . convert: Safer handling of $Id$ contraction. * jk/cached-textconv (2010-04-01) 7 commits - diff: avoid useless filespec population - diff: cache textconv output - textconv: refactor calls to run_textconv - introduce notes-cache interface - make commit_tree a library function - fix textconv leak in emit_rewrite_diff - fix const-correctness of write_sha1_file May merge to 'next', but I would prefer waiting til 1.7.2 to have this with a confidence than fast-tracking it. -------------------------------------------------- [Stalled] * cw/test-lib-relicense (2010-02-22) 1 commit . test-lib.sh: Add explicit license detail, with change from GPLv2 to GPLv2+. Ack-collection stopped at the last three names. I am hoping Carl can take it from there without my keeping an eye on it. * js/rebase-origin-x (2010-02-05) 1 commit - [RFC w/o test and incomplete] rebase: add -x option to record original commit name I retract my objection against the idea of -x; needs polishing before moving forward. * sg/bash-completion (2010-02-23) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-03-08 at bc59860) + bash: completion for gitk aliases + bash: support user-supplied completion scripts for aliases + bash: support user-supplied completion scripts for user's git commands + bash: improve aliased command recognition Perhaps rename _git_frotz -> _git_complete_frotz?

Waiting for resolution of locking issues in malloc-threading. -------------------------------------------------- [Cooking] * da/maint-python-startup (2010-03-27) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-04-01 at ca6897a) + Makefile: Remove usage of deprecated Python "has_key" method Hopefully will merge to 'master' by -rc0. * jc/conflict-marker-size (2010-03-24) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-04-01 at 164b1f4) + diff --check: honor conflict-marker-size attribute Hopefully will merge to 'master' by -rc0. * ld/discovery-limit-to-fs (2010-03-17) 3 commits - Add support for GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM - truncate cwd string before printing error message - config.c: remove static keyword from git_env_bool() Linus made a good point of making this a default, and Erick Mattos confirmed that it won't be a problem even on Windows. Will move to 'next' after such a "default on" change, keep it there until 1.7.1 ships, warn about it in the release notes as an upcoming backward incompatibility, and then move to 'master' after 1.7.1. * sb/fmt-merge-msg (2010-03-24) 7 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-04-01 at 5fcbec5) + fmt-merge-msg: hide summary option + fmt-merge-msg: remove custom string_list implementation + string-list: add unsorted_string_list_lookup() + fmt-merge-msg: use pretty.c routines + t6200: test fmt-merge-msg more + t6200: modernize with test_tick + fmt-merge-msg: be quiet if nothing to merge Hopefully will merge to 'master' by -rc0. * pc/remove-warn (2010-03-26) 4 commits - Remove a redundant errno test in a usage of remove_path - Introduce remove_or_warn function - Implement the rmdir_or_warn function - Generalise the unlink_or_warn function I cherry-picked only obviously sensible bits.
