Subject: What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2015, #03; Mon, 14)

From: Junio C Hamano <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 15:43:13 -0700

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

The tip of 'master' is slightly past 2.6-rc2; hopefully l10n team
can work on this without updates before the end of the cycle.

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"]

* ah/show-ref-usage-string (2015-08-31) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at dc512c8)
 + show-ref: place angle brackets around variables in usage string

 Both "git show-ref -h" and "git show-ref --help" illustrated that the
 "--exclude-existing" option makes the command read list of refs
 from its standard input.  Change only the "show-ref -h" output to
 have a pair of "<>" around the placeholder that designate an input
 file, i.e. "git show-ref --exclude-existing < <ref-list>".

* gb/apply-comment-typofix (2015-09-09) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-09 at 29fb0ff)
 + apply: comment grammar fix

* jk/pack-protocol-doc (2015-09-03) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at 98d861d)
 + pack-protocol: clarify LF-handling in PKT-LINE()

 Streamline documentation of the pkt-line protocol.

* js/maint-am-skip-performance-regression (2015-09-09) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-14 at b669ea1)
 + am --skip/--abort: merge HEAD/ORIG_HEAD tree into index

 Later versions of scripted "git am" has a performance regression in
 "git am --skip" codepath, which no longer exists in the built-in
 version on the 'master' front.  Fix the regression in the last
 scripted version that appear in 2.5.x maintenance track and older.

 Will merge to 'maint' and older.

* mp/t7060-diff-index-test (2015-09-02) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at 80ff284)
 + t7060: actually test "git diff-index --cached -M"

 Fix an old test that was doing the same thing as another one.

* rt/help-strings-fix (2015-09-11) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-14 at 875908c)
 + tag, update-ref: improve description of option "create-reflog"
 + pull: don't mark values for option "rebase" for translation

* sg/help-group (2015-09-10) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-14 at cef17e2)
 + Makefile: use SHELL_PATH when running generate-cmdlist.sh

 Last minute regression fix.

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

* ld/p4-detached-head (2015-09-09) 2 commits
 - git-p4: work with a detached head
 - git-p4: add failing test for submit from detached head

 Will be rerolled.
 ($gmane/277574)

* as/config-doc-markup-fix (2015-09-12) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-14 at faa4134)
 + Documentation/config: fix formatting for branch.*.rebase and pull.rebase

 Will merge to 'master'.

* et/win32-poll-timeout (2015-09-14) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-14 at 308dff4)
 + poll: honor the timeout on Win32

 Will merge to 'master'.

* jk/graph-format-padding (2015-09-14) 1 commit
 - pretty: pass graph width to pretty formatting for use in '%>|(N)'

 Redefine the way '%>|(N)' padding and the "--graph" option
 interacts.  It has been that the available columns to display the
 log message was measured from the edge of the area the graph ended,
 but with this it becomes the beginning of the entire output.

 I have a suspicion that 50% of the users would appreciate this
 change, and the remainder see this break their expectation.  If
 that is the case, we might need to introduce a similar but
 different alignment operator so that this new behaviour is
 available to those who want to use it, without negatively affecting
 existing uses.

* jk/make-findstring-makeflags-fix (2015-09-10) 1 commit
 - Makefile: fix MAKEFLAGS tests with multiple flags

 Customization to change the behaviour with "make -w" and "make -s"
 in our Makefile was broken when they were used together.

 Will merge to 'next'.

* jk/rebase-no-autostash (2015-09-10) 2 commits
 - Documentation/git-rebase: fix --no-autostash formatting
 - rebase: support --no-autostash

 There was no way to defeat a configured rebase.autostash variable
 from the command line, as "git rebase --no-autostash" was missing.

 Will merge to 'next'.

* jw/make-arflags-customizable (2015-09-10) 1 commit
 - Makefile: allow $(ARFLAGS) specified from the command line

 The Makefile always runs the library archiver with hardcoded "crs"
 options, which was inconvenient for exotic platforms on which
 people wants to use programs with totally different set of command
 line options.

 Will merge to 'next'.

* nd/ignore-then-not-ignore (2015-09-14) 2 commits
 - dir.c: don't exclude whole dir prematurely if neg pattern may match
 - dir.c: make last_exclude_matching_from_list() run til the end

 Allow a later "!/abc/def" to override an earlier "/abc" that
 appears in the same .gitignore file to make it easier to express
 "everything in /abc directory is ignored, except for ...".

* po/doc-branch-desc (2015-09-14) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-14 at 4934a96)
 + doc: show usage of branch description

 The branch descriptions that are set with "git branch --edit-description"
 option were used in many places but they weren't clearly documented.

 Will merge to 'master'.

* sb/submodule-parallel-fetch (2015-09-14) 2 commits
 - fetch: fetch submodules in parallel
 - submodule.c: write "Fetching submodule <foo>" to stderr
 (this branch uses sb/submodule-helper.)

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

* sb/remove-get-pathspec (2015-08-03) 1 commit
 - builtin/mv: remove get_pathspec()

 Will discard.
 ($gmane/276104)

* nd/list-files (2015-02-09) 21 commits
 - t3080: tests for git-list-files
 - list-files: -M aka diff-cached
 - list-files -F: show submodules with the new indicator '&'
 - list-files: add -F/--classify
 - list-files: show directories as well as files
 - list-files: do not show duplicate cached entries
 - list-files: sort output and remove duplicates
 - list-files: add -t back
 - list-files: add -1 short for --no-column
 - list-files: add -R/--recursive short for --max-depth=-1
 - list-files: -u does not imply showing stages
 - list-files: make alias 'ls' default to 'list-files'
 - list-files: a user friendly version of ls-files and more
 - ls-files: support --max-depth
 - ls-files: add --column
 - ls-files: add --color to highlight file names
 - ls-files: buffer full item in strbuf before printing
 - ls_colors.c: highlight submodules like directories
 - ls_colors.c: add a function to color a file name
 - ls_colors.c: parse color.ls.* from config file
 - ls_colors.c: add $LS_COLORS parsing code

 A new "git list-files" Porcelain command, "ls-files" with bells and
 whistles.

 Reroll to base on wt-status work ($gmane/265142) has seen some
 positive discussions.

 Waiting for a further polished reroll ($gmane/265534).

* mh/numparse (2015-03-19) 14 commits
 . diff_opt_parse(): use convert_i() when handling --abbrev=<num>
 . diff_opt_parse(): use convert_i() when handling "-l<num>"
 . opt_arg(): simplify pointer handling
 . opt_arg(): report errors parsing option values
 . opt_arg(): use convert_i() in implementation
 . opt_arg(): val is always non-NULL
 . builtin_diff(): detect errors when parsing --unified argument
 . handle_revision_opt(): use convert_ui() when handling "--abbrev="
 . strtoul_ui(), strtol_i(): remove functions
 . handle_revision_opt(): use convert_i() when handling "-<digit>"
 . handle_revision_opt(): use skip_prefix() in many places
 . write_subdirectory(): use convert_ui() for parsing mode
 . cacheinfo_callback(): use convert_ui() when handling "--cacheinfo"
 . numparse: new module for parsing integral numbers

 Many codepaths use unchecked use of strtol() and friends (or even
 worse, atoi()).  Introduce a set of wrappers that try to be more
 careful.

 Waiting for a reroll.
 ($gmane/268058).

* kk/log-merges-config (2015-04-21) 5 commits
 - bash-completion: add support for git-log --merges= and log.merges
 - t4202-log: add tests for --merges=
 - Documentation: add git-log --merges= option and log.merges config. var
 - log: honor log.merges= option
 - revision: add --merges={show|only|hide} option

 "git log" (but not other commands in the "log" family) learned to
 pay attention to the log.merges configuration variable that can be
 set to "show" (the normal behaviour), "only" (hide non-merge
 commits), or "hide" (hide merge commits).  --merges=(show|only|hide)
 can be used to override the setting from the command line.

 The documentation may need to be updated once more ($gmane/267250).
 Waiting for a reroll.

* mg/httpd-tests-update-for-apache-2.4 (2015-04-08) 2 commits
 - t/lib-git-svn: check same httpd module dirs as lib-httpd
 - t/lib-httpd: load mod_unixd

 This is the first two commits in a three-patch series $gmane/266962

 Waiting for a reroll.
 with updated log message ($gmane/268061).

* bw/portability-solaris (2015-07-20) 3 commits
 - tests: fix sed usage in tests to work around broken xpg4/sed on Solaris
 - tests: fix sed usage in tests to work around broken xpg4/sed on Solaris
 - tests: modify tr expressions so that xpg4/tr handles it on Solaris

 Needs another reroll?
 ($gmane/274296)

* jc/clone-bundle (2015-04-30) 1 commit
 - repack: optionally create a clone.bundle

 Waiting for further work.
 Still an early WIP.

* mg/index-read-error-messages (2015-06-01) 2 commits
 - messages: uniform error messages for index write
 - show-index: uniform error messages for index read

 The tip was RFC.
 Waiting for a reroll.

* wp/sha1-name-negative-match (2015-06-08) 2 commits
 - sha1_name.c: introduce '^{/!-<negative pattern>}' notation
 - test for '!' handling in rev-parse's named commits

 Introduce "branch^{/!-<pattern>}" notation to name a commit
 reachable from branch that does not match the given pattern.

 Waiting for a reroll.

* mk/utf8-no-iconv-warn (2015-06-08) 1 commit
 - utf8.c: print warning about disabled iconv

 Warn when a reencoding is requested in a build without iconv
 support, as the end user is likely to get an unexpected result.  I
 think the same level of safety should be added to a build with
 iconv support when the specified encoding is not available, but the
 patch does not go there.

 Waiting for a reroll.

* ak/format-patch-odir-config (2015-06-19) 1 commit
 - format-patch: introduce format.outputDirectory configuration

 Reroll exists but didn't pick it up as it seemed to be still
 collecting review comments.

 Waiting for a reroll.
 ($gmane/272180).

* mh/notes-allow-reading-treeish (2015-07-13) 1 commit
 - notes: allow treeish expressions as notes ref

 Some "git notes" operations, e.g. "git log --notes=<note>", should
 be able to read notes from any tree-ish that is shaped like a notes
 tree, but the notes infrastructure required that the argument must
 be a ref under refs/notes/.  Loosen it to require a valid ref only
 when the operation would update the notes (in which case we must
 have a place to store the updated notes tree, iow, a ref).

 Needs update to docs.
 ($gmane/273928)

* jc/diff-b-m (2015-02-23) 5 commits
 . WIPWIP
 . WIP: diff-b-m
 - diffcore-rename: allow easier debugging
 - diffcore-rename.c: add locate_rename_src()
 - diffcore-break: allow debugging

 "git diff -B -M" produced incorrect patch when the postimage of a
 completely rewritten file is similar to the preimage of a removed
 file; such a resulting file must not be expressed as a rename from
 other place.

 The fix in this patch is broken, unfortunately.

* pw/remote-set-url-fetch (2014-11-26) 1 commit
 . remote: add --fetch and --both options to set-url

 Ejected.

* tr/remerge-diff (2014-11-10) 9 commits
 . t4213: avoid "|" in sed regexp
 . log --remerge-diff: show what the conflict resolution changed
 . name-hash: allow dir hashing even when !ignore_case
 . merge-recursive: allow storing conflict hunks in index
 . merge_diff_mode: fold all merge diff variants into an enum
 . combine-diff: do not pass revs->dense_combined_merges redundantly
 . merge-recursive: -Xindex-only to leave worktree unchanged
 . merge-recursive: internal flag to avoid touching the worktree
 . merge-recursive: remove dead conditional in update_stages()

 "log -p" output learns a new way to let users inspect a merge
 commit by showing the differences between the automerged result
 with conflicts the person who recorded the merge would have seen
 and the final conflict resolution that was recorded in the merge.

 Waiting for a reroll.
 ($gmane/256591).

* tg/perf-lib-test-perf-cleanup (2013-09-19) 2 commits
 - perf-lib: add test_perf_cleanup target
 - perf-lib: split starting the test from the execution

 Add test_perf_cleanup shell function to the perf suite, that allows
 the script writers to define a test with a clean-up action.

 Will hold.

* jc/show-branch (2014-03-24) 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

 Waiting for the final step to lift the hard-limit.

--------------------------------------------------
[Cooking]

* mk/submodule-gitdir-path (2015-09-14) 2 commits
 - path: implement common_dir handling in git_pathdup_submodule()
 - submodule refactor: use strbuf_git_path_submodule() in add_submodule_odb()

 The submodule code has been taught to work better with separate
 work trees created via "git worktree add".

* jk/connect-clear-env (2015-09-08) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at 86b64f7)
 + git_connect: clarify conn->use_shell flag
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-06 at 9ddbed8)
 + git_connect: clear GIT_* environment for ssh

 The ssh transport, just like any other transport over the network,
 did not clear GIT_* environment variables, but it is possible to
 use SendEnv and AcceptEnv to leak them to the remote invocation of
 Git, which is not a good idea at all.  Explicitly clear them just
 like we do for the local transport.

 Will merge to 'master'.

* ti/glibc-stdio-mutex-from-signal-handler (2015-09-04) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at c8047ba)
 + pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers

 Allocation related functions and stdio are unsafe things to call
 inside a signal handler, and indeed killing the pager can cause
 glibc to deadlock waiting on allocation mutex as our signal handler
 tries to free() some data structures in wait_for_pager().  Reduce
 these unsafe calls.

 I seem to recall Peff had other ideas?  Let's revisit this in the
 next cycle.

* as/subtree-with-spaces (2015-09-08) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-09 at f3d763d)
 + contrib/subtree: respect spaces in a repository path
 + t7900-subtree: test the "space in a subdirectory name" case

 Update "git subtree" (in contrib/) so that it can take whitespaces
 in the pathnames, not only in the in-tree pathname but the name of
 the directory that the repository is in.

 Will merge to 'master'.

* gb/filter-branch-progress (2015-09-08) 1 commit
 - filter-branch: add passed/remaining seconds on progress

 Give progress meter to "git filter-branch".

 Is a reroll coming?

* jk/interpret-trailers-outside-a-repository (2015-09-08) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-09 at a75fce3)
 + interpret-trailers: allow running outside a repository

 Allow "git interpret-trailers" to run outside of a Git repository.

 Will merge to 'master'.

* jk/test-lint-forbid-when-finished-in-subshell (2015-09-08) 5 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-09 at 74ede61)
 + test-lib-functions: detect test_when_finished in subshell
 + t7800: don't use test_config in a subshell
 + test-lib-functions: support "test_config -C <dir> ..."
 + t5801: don't use test_when_finished in a subshell
 + t7610: don't use test_config in a subshell

 Because "test_when_finished" in our test framework queues the
 clean-up tasks to be done in a shell variable, it should not be
 used inside a subshell.  Add a mechanism to allow 'bash' to catch
 such uses, and fix the ones that were found.

 Will merge to 'master'.

* ls/p4-lfs (2015-09-09) 5 commits
 - git-p4: add Git LFS backend for large file system
 - git-p4: add support for large file systems
 - git-p4: return an empty list if a list config has no values
 - git-p4: add gitConfigInt reader
 - git-p4: add optional type specifier to gitConfig reader

 Teach "git p4" to send large blobs outside the repository by
 talking to Git LFS.

* nd/clone-linked-checkout (2015-09-14) 5 commits
 - clone: better error when --reference is a linked checkout
 - clone: allow --local from a linked checkout
 - enter_repo: allow .git files in strict mode
 - enter_repo: avoid duplicating logic, use is_git_directory() instead
 - path.c: delete an extra space

 It was not possible to use a repository-lookalike created by "git
 worktree add" as a local source of "git clone".

 Will be rerolled.
 ($gmane/277815)

* jh/quiltimport-explicit-series-file (2015-09-01) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-02 at 1129ca4)
 + git-quiltimport: add commandline option --series <file>

 "quiltimport" allows to specify the series file by honoring the
 $QUILT_SERIES environment and also --series command line option.

 Will merge to 'master'.

* jk/async-pkt-line (2015-09-01) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-02 at e185717)
 + pkt-line: show packets in async processes as "sideband"
 + run-command: provide in_async query function

 The debugging infrastructure for pkt-line based communication has
 been improved to mark the side-band communicatio specifically.

 Will merge to 'master'.

* jk/date-local (2015-09-03) 11 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at 66781d9)
 + t6300: add tests for "-local" date formats
 + t6300: make UTC and local dates different
 + date: make "local" orthogonal to date format
 + date: check for "local" before anything else
 + t6300: add test for "raw" date format
 + t6300: introduce test_date() helper
 + fast-import: switch crash-report date to iso8601
 + Documentation/rev-list: don't list date formats
 + Documentation/git-for-each-ref: don't list date formats
 + Documentation/config: don't list date formats
 + Documentation/blame-options: don't list date formats

 "git log --date=local" used to only allow to show the normal
 (default) format in the local timezone. The command learned to take
 'local' as an instruction to use the local timezone with other
 formats, e.g. "git show --date=rfc-local".

 Will merge to 'master'.

* nk/stash-show-config (2015-08-31) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at 90dd06f)
 + stash: allow "stash show" diff output configurable

 Users who are too busy to type three extra keystrokes to ask for
 "git stash show -p" can now set stash.showPatch configuration
 varible to true to always see the actual patch, not just the list
 of paths affected with feel for the extent of damage via diffstat.

 Will merge to 'master'.

* ls/p4-path-encoding (2015-09-03) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at 56514f9)
 + git-p4: add config git-p4.pathEncoding

 "git p4" learned to reencode the pathname it uses to communicate
 with the p4 depot with a new option.

 Will merge to 'master'.

* ad/bisect-terms (2015-08-03) 4 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-01 at ede6e64)
 + bisect: allow setting any user-specified in 'git bisect start'
 + bisect: add 'git bisect terms' to view the current terms
 + bisect: add the terms old/new
 + bisect: sanity check on terms

 The use of 'good/bad' in "git bisect" made it confusing to use when
 hunting for a state change that is not a regression (e.g. bugfix).
 The command learned 'old/new' and then allows the end user to
 say e.g. "bisect start --term-old=fast --term=new=slow" to find a
 performance regression.

 Michael's idea to make 'good/bad' more intelligent does have
 certain attractiveness ($gname/272867), and makes some of the work
 on this topic a moot point.

 Will merge to 'master'.

* dt/refs-bisection (2015-09-01) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-08 at 2b66bad)
 + refs: make refs/bisect/* per-worktree
 + path: optimize common dir checking
 + refs: clean up common_list

 Move the refs used during a "git bisect" session to per-worktree
 hierarchy refs/worktree/* so that independent bisect sessions can
 be done in different worktrees.

 Will merge to 'master'.

* ld/p4-import-labels (2015-08-28) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-09-01 at cf9f1d6)
 + git-p4: fix P4 label import for unprocessed commits
 + git-p4: do not terminate creating tag for unknown commit
 + git-p4: failing test for ignoring invalid p4 labels

 Will merge to 'master'.

* kn/for-each-tag (2015-09-11) 16 commits
 - tag.c: implement '--merged' and '--no-merged' options
 - tag.c: implement '--format' option
 - tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs
 - tag.c: use 'ref-filter' data structures
 - ref-filter: add option to match literal pattern
 - ref-filter: add support to sort by version
 - ref-filter: add support for %(contents:lines=X)
 - ref-filter: add option to filter out tags, branches and remotes
 - ref-filter: implement an `align` atom
 - ref-filter: introduce match_atom_name()
 - ref-filter: introduce handler function for each atom
 - utf8: add function to align a string into given strbuf
 - ref-filter: introduce ref_formatting_state and ref_formatting_stack
 - ref-filter: move `struct atom_value` to ref-filter.c
 - Merge 'jk/git-path' into kn/for-each-tag
 - Merge 'kn/for-each-tag-branch' into kn/for-each-tag
 (this branch uses kn/for-each-tag-branch.)

 The "ref-filter" code was taught about many parts of what "tag -l"
 does and then "tag -l" is reimplemented in terms of "ref-filter".

 Will merge to 'next'.

* nd/ita-cleanup (2015-09-06) 6 commits
 - grep: make it clear i-t-a entries are ignored
 - checkout(-index): do not checkout i-t-a entries
 - apply: make sure check_preimage() does not leave empty file on error
 - apply: fix adding new files on i-t-a entries
 - add and use a convenience macro ce_intent_to_add()
 - blame: remove obsolete comment

 Paths that have been told the index about with "add -N" are not yet
 in the index, but various commands behaved as if they already are.

 Some commits need better explanation.

 Waiting for a reroll.

* dk/gc-idx-wo-pack (2015-08-17) 3 commits
 - DONTMERGE: log message, grace-period and tests $gmane/276058
 - gc: remove stale .idx files without corresponding .pack file
 - prepare_packed_git(): refactor garbage reporting in pack directory

 Having a leftover .idx file without correspoinding .pack file in
 the repository hurts performance; "git gc" learned to prune them.

 Waiting for a reroll.

* bb/remote-get-url (2015-09-04) 1 commit
 - remote: add get-url subcommand

 "git remote" learned "get-url" subcommand to show the URL for a
 given remote name used for fetching and pushing.

 Waiting for a reroll.
 ($gmane/277313)

* sb/submodule-helper (2015-09-08) 4 commits
 - submodule: rewrite `module_clone` shell function in C
 - submodule: rewrite `module_name` shell function in C
 - submodule: rewrite `module_list` shell function in C
 - Merge 'hv/submodule-config' to 'sb/submodule-helper'
 (this branch is used by sb/submodule-parallel-fetch.)

 The infrastructure to rewrite "git submodule" in C is being built
 incrementally.  Let's polish these early parts well enough and make
 them graduate to 'next' and 'master', so that the more involved
 follow-up can start cooking on a solid ground.

 Looked ready for 'next'.  Comments from others?

* ad/cygwin-wants-rename (2015-08-07) 1 commit
 - config.mak.uname: Cygwin needs OBJECT_CREATION_USES_RENAMES

 Will hold.

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2015-07-15

 Some features from "git tag -l" and "git branch -l" have been made
 available to "git for-each-ref" so that eventually the unified
 implementation can be shared across all three, in a follow-up
 series or two.

 Will merge to 'master'.

 - t4200: rerere a merge with two identical conflicts
 - WIP
 - rerere: allow multiple variants to exist
 - rerere: delay the recording of preimage
 - rerere: handle leftover rr-cache/$ID directory and postimage files
 - rerere: scan $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID when instantiating a rerere_id
 - rerere: split conflict ID further
 (this branch uses jc/rerere.)

 "git rerere" can encounter two or more files with the same conflict
 signature that have to be resolved in different ways, but there was
 no way to record these separate resolutions.

 + merge: drop 'git merge <message> HEAD <commit>' syntax

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2015-05-28

 Stop supporting "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>" syntax that
 has been deprecated since October 2007.

 Will keep in 'next' during the 2.6 cycle.
