From: Stefan Beller
Date: Wed Aug 12 2015 - 19:09:04 EST


"git am" rewritten in C just hit the master branch!

This may be helpful for maintainers applying many patches a day.

Subject: What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2015, #02; Wed, 12)
To: git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


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 second batch of topics have graduated to 'master'. Most
notably, the rewritten "git am" is in. Also "worktree add" is
getting improved.

You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

+ bisect: replace hardcoded "bad|good" by variables
+ Documentation/bisect: revise overall content
+ Documentation/bisect: move getting help section to the end
+ bisect: correction of typo
(this branch is used by ad/bisect-terms.)

Originally merged to 'next' on 2015-07-09

* dt/reflog-tests (2015-07-28) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-03 at 9d2fa1a)

much have been corrected.


* dt/unpack-trees-cache-tree-revalidate (2015-07-28) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-03 at 5b0d620)
+ unpack-trees: populate cache-tree on successful merge

The code to perform multi-tree merges has been taught to repopulate
the cache-tree upon a successful merge into the index, so that
subsequent "diff-index --cached" (hence "status") and "write-tree"
(hence "commit") will go faster.

The same logic in "git checkout" may now be removed, but that is a
separate issue.


* es/worktree-add (2015-07-20) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-03 at 9771a44)

(this branch is used by dt/notes-multiple; uses es/worktree-add.)

Originally merged to 'next' on 2015-07-29

The "new-worktree-mode" hack in "checkout" that was added in
nd/multiple-work-trees topic has been removed by updating the
implementation of new "worktree add".

[New Topics]

* bb/remote-get-url (2015-08-05) 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/275401)


* cb/open-noatime-clear-errno (2015-08-12) 1 commit
- git_open_noatime: return with errno=0 on success

When trying to see that an object does not exist, a state errno
leaked from our "first try to open a packfile with O_NOATIME and
then if it fails retry without it" logic on a system that refuses
O_NOATIME. This confused us and caused us to die, saying that the
packfile is unreadable, when we should have just reported that the
object does not exist in that packfile to the caller.

Will merge to 'next'.


* jk/guess-repo-name-regression-fix (2015-08-10) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 4cba33c)
+ clone: use computed length in guess_dir_name
+ clone: add tests for output directory
(this branch is used by ps/guess-repo-name-at-root.)

"git clone $URL" in recent releases of Git contains a regression in
the code that invents a new repository name incorrectly based on
the $URL. This has been corrected.

Will merge to 'master'.


* ps/guess-repo-name-at-root (2015-08-10) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 088860f)
+ clone: abort if no dir name could be guessed
+ clone: do not use port number as dir name
+ clone: do not include authentication data in guessed dir
(this branch uses jk/guess-repo-name-regression-fix.)

"git clone $URL", when cloning from a site whose sole purpose is to
host a single repository (hence, no path after <scheme>://<site>/),
tried to use the site name as the new repository name, but did not
remove username or password when <site> part was of the form
<user>@<pass>:<host>. The code is taught to redact these.

Will merge to 'master'.


* jk/notes-merge-config (2015-08-05) 4 commits
- SQUASH???
- notes: add notes.merge option to select default strategy
- notes: add tests for --commit/--abort/--strategy exclusivity
- notes: document cat_sort_uniq rewriteMode

"git notes merge" can be told with "--strategy=<how>" option how to
automatically handle conflicts; this can now be configured by
setting notes.merge configuration variable.

The last step to add more specific notes.$ref.merge looked
questionable. What is queued is v3, v4 exists, but needs an
update.

Waiting for a reroll.
($gmane/275749)


* mk/submodule-gitdir-path (2015-08-05) 2 commits
- path: implement common_dir handling in git_path_submodule()
- submodule refactor: use 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".

Waiting for a review.
($gmane/275340).


* mm/pull-upload-pack (2015-07-30) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 14d2a52)
+ pull.sh: quote $upload_pack when passing it to git-fetch

"git pull" in recent releases of Git has a regression in the code
that allows custom path to the --upload-pack=<program>. This has
been corrected.

Will merge to 'maint'.

Note that this is irrelevant for 'master' with "git pull" rewritten
in C.


* ps/t1509-chroot-test-fixup (2015-08-05) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 6d10ea5)
+ tests: fix cleanup after tests in t1509-root-worktree
+ tests: fix broken && chains in t1509-root-worktree

t1509 test that requires a dedicated VM environment had some
bitrot, which has been corrected.

Will merge to 'master'.


* pt/am-builtin-options (2015-08-12) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at e57f754)
+ am: let --signoff override --no-signoff
+ am: let command-line options override saved options
+ test_terminal: redirect child process' stdin to a pty

After "git am --opt1" stops, running "git am --opt2" pays attention
to "--opt2" only for the patch that caused the original invocation
to stop.

Will merge to 'master'.

(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 9606c21)
+ completion: offer '--edit-todo' during interactive rebase

The command-line completion script (in contrib/) has been updated.

* dt/untracked-subdir (2015-08-07) 2 commits
- DONTMERGE: wait for Duy to Ack or comment
- untracked-cache: fix subdirectory handling

Waiting for a review.


* jk/test-with-x (2015-08-07) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 06576a1)
+ test-lib: disable trace when test is not verbose
+ test-lib: turn off "-x" tracing during chain-lint check

Running tests with the "-x" option to make them verbose had some
unpleasant interactions with other features of the test suite.

Long overdue micro clean-up.

Will merge to 'master'.


* jk/git-path (2015-08-10) 16 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 7ebe864)
+ memoize common git-path "constant" files
+ get_repo_path: refactor path-allocation
+ find_hook: keep our own static buffer
+ refs.c: remove_empty_directories can take a strbuf
+ refs.c: avoid git_path assignment in lock_ref_sha1_basic
+ refs.c: avoid repeated git_path calls in rename_tmp_log
+ refs.c: simplify strbufs in reflog setup and writing
+ path.c: drop git_path_submodule
+ refs.c: remove extra git_path calls from read_loose_refs
+ remote.c: drop extraneous local variable from migrate_file
+ prefer mkpathdup to mkpath in assignments
+ prefer git_pathdup to git_path in some possibly-dangerous cases
+ add_to_alternates_file: don't add duplicate entries
+ t5700: modernize style
+ cache.h: complete set of git_path_submodule helpers
+ cache.h: clarify documentation for git_path, et al

git_path() and mkpath() are handy helper functions but it is easy
to misuse, as the callers need to be careful to keep the number of
active results below 4. Their uses have been reduced.

Will merge to 'master'.


* jk/long-error-messages (2015-08-11) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 36303cd)
+ vreportf: avoid intermediate buffer
+ vreportf: report to arbitrary filehandles

The codepath to produce error messages had a hard-coded limit to
the size of the message, primarily to avoid memory allocation while
calling die().

Will merge to 'master'.

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.

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

Expecting 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

- implement submodule config API for lookup of .gitmodules values

The gitmodules API accessed from the C code learned to cache stuff
lazily.

* jk/log-missing-default-HEAD (2015-06-03) 1 commit
- log: diagnose empty HEAD more clearly

"git init empty && git -C empty log" said "bad default revision 'HEAD'",
which was found to be a bit confusing to new users.

What's the status of this one?


* 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.

Expecting 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.

Expecting a reroll.


* ak/format-patch-odir-config (2015-06-19) 1 commit

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

Expecting a reroll.
($gmane/272180).


* ad/bisect-terms (2015-08-03) 4 commits
- 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 hold.


* 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.

* 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.

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.

(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at db16247)
+ strbuf_read(): skip unnecessary strbuf_grow() at eof

strbuf_read() used to have one extra iteration (and an unnecessary
strbuf_grow() of 8kB), which was eliminated.

Will merge to 'master'.

(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 4a1c801)
+ transport-helper: die on errors reading refs.

Will merge to 'master'.

(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at bdc478d)
+ refs: support negative transfer.hideRefs
+ docs/config.txt: reorder hideRefs config

A negative !ref entry in multi-value transfer.hideRefs
configuration can be used to say "don't hide this one".

Will merge to 'master'.


* mh/get-remote-group-fix (2015-07-28) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at b77820e)
+ get_remote_group(): use skip_prefix()
+ get_remote_group(): eliminate superfluous call to strcspn()
+ get_remote_group(): rename local variable "space" to "wordlen"
+ get_remote_group(): handle remotes with single-character names

An off-by-one error made "git remote" to mishandle a remote with a
single letter nickname.

(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 0052055)
+ notes: handle multiple worktrees
+ worktrees: add find_shared_symref

When linked worktree is used, simultaneous "notes merge" instances
for the same ref in refs/notes/* are prevented from stomping on
each other.

Will merge to 'master'.


* dt/refs-pseudo (2015-08-11) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 7078eb6)
+ pseudoref: check return values from read_ref()
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-03 at 3eafd33)
+ sequencer: replace write_cherry_pick_head with update_ref
+ bisect: use update_ref
+ pseudorefs: create and use pseudoref update and delete functions
+ refs: add ref_type function
+ refs: introduce pseudoref and per-worktree ref concepts

To prepare for allowing a different "ref" backend to be plugged in
to the system, update_ref()/delete_ref() have been taught about
ref-like things like MERGE_HEAD that are per-worktree (they will
always be written to the filesystem inside $GIT_DIR).

Will merge to 'master'.


* dt/untracked-sparse (2015-07-31) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at 234434d)
+ untracked-cache: support sparse checkout
(this branch is used by dt/untracked-subdir.)

Allow untracked cache (experimental) to be used when sparse
checkout (experimental) is also in use.

Will merge to 'master'.

(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-12 at de88e8e)
+ pull: allow dirty tree when rebase.autostash enabled

"git pull --rebase" has been taught to pay attention to
rebase.autostash configuration.

Will merge to 'master'.

+ tag: libify parse_opt_points_at()
+ t6302: for-each-ref tests for ref-filter APIs

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.

* jc/merge-drop-old-syntax (2015-04-29) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-08-03 at a52c2b2)
+ 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.

[Discarded]

* tf/gitweb-project-listing (2015-03-19) 4 commits
- gitweb: make category headings into links when they are directories
- gitweb: optionally set project category from its pathname
- gitweb: add a link under the search box to clear a project filter
- gitweb: if the PATH_INFO is incomplete, use it as a project_filter

Update gitweb to make it more pleasant to deal with a hierarchical
forest of repositories.

A fresh restart will not be rejected, but ejected from my tree for
now.


* jc/a-lone-dash-stands-for-previous-branch (2015-03-16) 1 commit
- "-" and "@{-1}" on various programs

Lose special case code to make a lone dash "-" mean the previous
branch aka "@{-1}" from a handful subcommands, and instead support
the notation throughout the system by reimplementing it at the
revisions layer.

Needs tests, documentation updates, etc. Also does only a half-way
job dealing with range notation, which needs to be fixed before the
series goes anywhere.


* jc/push-tags-also (2015-05-29) 1 commit
- push --tags: push tags *in addition to* other stuff

"git fetch --tags" learned to fetch tags in addition to other stuff
a few years ago, but "git push --tags" didn't. Now it does.

A change to push out more than before always invites "what if the
user makes a mistake" worries.

Will discard.


* nd/pathspec-strip-fix (2015-04-18) 1 commit
- pathspec: adjust prefixlen after striping trailing slash

Does not quite fix ($gmane/267614).
Will discard.
