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] * ph/parseopt (Sun Dec 16 22:45:00 2007 -0800) 4 commits - builtin-tag: fix fallouts from recent parsopt restriction. - (squashme) gitcli documentation fixups - parseopt: Add a gitcli(5) man page. - parseopt: Enforce the use of the sticked form for optional arguments. This series is needed by 1.5.4-rc1 for fixing regression relative to 1.5.3 series in the option parser: "git describe --abbrev HEAD" does not work. The current approach is taken by this series (discussed on the list) to work it around by forbidding "git describe --abbrev 10 HEAD" and requiring it be written as "git describe --abbrev=10 HEAD", but taking that limitation literally will introduce serious usability regressions. We need careful auditing of all the commands that adopted parse_options() API. * ab/pserver (Fri Dec 14 04:08:51 2007 +0000) 1 commit - Authentication support for pserver This came somewhat late; I think cvsserver is in its own little corner and the change seems to be quite isolated, so with enough user requests and Ack from primary people who have been involved with cvsserver I do not think we mind to make an exception and make it a part of 1.5.4-rc1. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to 'master'] * mh/http (Tue Dec 11 00:08:25 2007 +0100) Big thanks to Daniel who helped reviewing this series which is about clean-ups and fixes in http transport. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Will cook further in 'next' and then merge to 'master' soon] Again, we are post -rc0 and there is nothing interesting to see here. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Actively cooking] Again, we are post -rc0 and there is nothing interesting to see here. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [On hold] * 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. * 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 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
