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. -------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to "master"] * dp/read-not-mmap-small-loose-object (2010-02-21) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at fa39a9a) + hash-object: don't use mmap() for small files * np/compress-loose-object-memsave (2010-02-21) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at 1e558d6) + sha1_file: be paranoid when creating loose objects + sha1_file: don't malloc the whole compressed result when writing out objects * ml/connect-refactor (2010-02-17) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at 7361651) + connect.c: move duplicated code to a new function 'get_host_and_port' * ml/encode-header-refactor (2010-02-23) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-23 at ac4ec8f) + move encode_in_pack_object_header() to a better place (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at efe648b) + refactor duplicated encode_header in pack-objects and fast-import * ml/fill-mm-refactor (2010-02-16) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at 2fc5570) + refactor duplicated fill_mm() in checkout and merge-recursive * ml/send-pack-transport-refactor (2010-02-16) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at db276f4) + refactor duplicated code in builtin-send-pack.c and transport.c * rs/optim-text-wrap (2010-02-19) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at 70ef189) + utf8.c: speculatively assume utf-8 in strbuf_add_wrapped_text() + utf8.c: remove strbuf_write() + utf8.c: remove print_spaces() + utf8.c: remove print_wrapped_text() * tr/maint-cherry-pick-list (2010-02-20) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at 65fded0) + cherry_pick_list: quit early if one side is empty * ld/maint-diff-quiet-w (2010-02-21) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at 4701142) + git-diff: add a test for git diff --quiet -w + git diff --quiet -w: check and report the status * jc/for-each-ref (2010-02-13) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at c9a6c2f) + for-each-ref --format='%(flag)' + for-each-ref --format='%(symref) %(symref:short)' + builtin-for-each-ref.c: check if we need to peel onion while parsing the format + builtin-for-each-ref.c: comment fixes * jn/gitweb-config-error-die (2010-02-14) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at e3ecd65) + gitweb: Die if there are parsing errors in config file * jn/maint-fix-pager (2010-02-22) 8 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-23 at 575e0e4) + tests: Fix race condition in t7006-pager (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at 640e10c) + t7006-pager: if stdout is not a terminal, make a new one + tests: Add tests for automatic use of pager + am: Fix launching of pager + git svn: Fix launching of pager + git.1: Clarify the behavior of the --paginate option + Make 'git var GIT_PAGER' always print the configured pager + Fix 'git var' usage synopsis * ml/color-when (2010-02-16) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at d52c051) + Add an optional argument for --color options * hm/imap-send-cram-md5 (2010-02-15) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at de8f650) + imap-send: support CRAM-MD5 authentication * gf/maint-sh-setup-nongit-ok (2010-02-16) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at aca55e6) + require_work_tree broken with NONGIT_OK * jc/maint-status-preload (2010-02-17) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at d79e163) + status: preload index to optimize lstat(2) calls * ac/cvsimport-revision-mapping (2010-02-06) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-17 at 6756446) + cvsimport: new -R option: generate .git/cvs-revisions mapping * jn/maint-makedepend (2010-01-26) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at 34a3e48) + Makefile: drop dependency on $(wildcard */*.h) + Makefile: clean up http-walker.o dependency rules + Makefile: remove wt-status.h from LIB_H + Makefile: make sure test helpers are rebuilt when headers change + Makefile: add missing header file dependencies (this branch is used by jn/makedepend and jn/master-makedepend.) * jn/master-makedepend (2010-01-26) 0 commits (this branch uses jn/maint-makedepend;

Shouldn't be too hard to add tests to t4014; other than that looked ready for 'next'. * sd/log-decorate (2010-02-17) 3 commits - log.decorate: usability fixes - Add `log.decorate' configuration variable. - git_config_maybe_bool() Probably ready for 'next', except that people need to be warned about having to update their scripts to explicitly pass --no-decorate to keep them working. A good idea to disable this when --pretty was given, just like notes are disabled by default, was floated. * pb/log-first-parent-p-m (2010-02-10) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-17 at 2f8e5ae) + git log -p -m: document -m and honor --first-parent Needs tests but otherwise looked fine. We might want to teach "-m trumps implicit --cc" to "git show", but that is a totally separate topic. I actually care about this "log -p --first-parent" very much, but if Pasky is counting on that and procrastinating until I write the tests myself, he is in for a disappointment. I don't have that much free time these days. Help is appreciated. * 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. -------------------------------------------------- [Cooking] * ld/push-porcelain (2010-02-26) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-03-02 at d15bb1e) + git-push: add tests for git push --porcelain + git-push: make git push --porcelain print "Done" + git-push: send "To <remoteurl>" messages to the standard output in --porcelain mode + git-push: fix an advice message so it goes to stderr * sd/init-template (2010-03-02) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-03-02 at 2d87e3f) + wrap-for-bin: do not export an empty GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR + t/t0001-init.sh: add test for 'init with init.templatedir set' + init: having keywords without value is not a global error. + Add a "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY" section to git-init[1]. + Add `init.templatedir` configuration variable. * il/loosen-remote-helper-names (2010-02-23) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-25 at 5c22a39) + Allow '+', '-' and '.' in remote helper names Ready for 'master'. * jk/maint-add--interactive-delete (2010-02-22) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-24 at 908cef8) + add-interactive: fix bogus diff header line ordering Probably ready for 'master'. * js/runtime-prefix-trace-not-warn (2010-02-23) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-24 at 8d9d305) + Print RUNTIME_PREFIX warning only when GIT_TRACE is set Ready for 'master'. * lt/deepen-builtin-source (2010-02-22) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-25 at 320aa74) + Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory This is a painful one to keep out of 'master' for a long time, as any topic with new builtin commands will need evil merges to adjust to it. * tc/http-cleanup (2010-03-02) 7 commits - remote-curl: init walker only when needed - remote-curl: use http_fetch_ref() instead of walker wrapper - http: init and cleanup separately from http-walker - http-walker: cleanup more thoroughly - http-push: remove "|| 1" to enable verbose check - t554[01]-http-push: refactor, add non-ff tests - t5541-http-push: check that ref is unchanged for non-ff test Rerolled. * tr/notes-display (2010-02-23) 11 commits - notes: add shorthand --ref to override GIT_NOTES_REF - commit --amend: copy notes to the new commit - rebase: support automatic notes copying - notes: implement helpers needed for note copying during rewrite - notes: implement 'git notes copy --stdin' - rebase -i: invoke post-rewrite hook - rebase: invoke post-rewrite hook - commit --amend: invoke post-rewrite hook - Documentation: document post-rewrite hook - Support showing notes from more than one notes tree - test-lib: unset GIT_NOTES_REF to stop it from influencing tests (this branch uses early parts of jh/notes; is used by sb/notes-parse-opt.) Didn't look too carefully except for the second one. * cw/test-lib-relicense (2010-02-22) 1 commit . test-lib.sh: Add explicit license detail, with change from GPLv2 to GPLv2+. Ack-collection in progress. * jc/maint-fix-mailinfo-strip (2010-02-19) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-24 at 621fa3d) + mailinfo: do not strip leading spaces even for a header line Ready for 'master'. * ne/pack-local-doc (2010-02-24) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-25 at 75cfba5) + pack-objects documentation: Fix --honor-pack-keep as well. + pack-objects documentation: reword "objects that appear in the standard input" + Documentation: pack-objects: Clarify --local's semantics.

Comments from transport people are very much appreciated before moving this forward. * cp/add-u-pathspec (2010-02-09) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-24 at 2f3f2bc) + test for add with non-existent pathspec + git add -u: die on unmatched pathspec Not quite happy, but will merge to 'master' shortly anyway. * nd/root-git (2010-02-14) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-25 at bff4955) + Add test for using Git at root of file system + Support working directory located at root + Move offset_1st_component() to path.c + init-db, rev-parse --git-dir: do not append redundant slash + make_absolute_path(): Do not append redundant slash Probably ready for 'master'. * jh/notes (2010-02-24) 32 commits (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-24 at c88263d) + notes: fix malformed tree entry + builtin-notes: Minor (mostly parse_options-related) fixes (merged to 'next' on 2010-02-21 at 75fc451) + builtin-notes: Add "copy" subcommand for copying notes between objects + builtin-notes: Misc. refactoring of argc and exit value handling + builtin-notes: Add -c/-C options for reusing notes + builtin-notes: Refactor handling of -F option to allow combining -m and -F + builtin-notes: Deprecate the -m/-F options for "git notes edit" + builtin-notes: Add "append" subcommand for appending to note objects + builtin-notes: Add "add" subcommand for adding notes to objects + builtin-notes: Add --message/--file aliases for -m/-F options + builtin-notes: Add "list" subcommand for listing note objects + Documentation: Generalize git-notes docs to 'objects' instead of 'commits' + builtin-notes: Add "prune" subcommand for removing notes for missing objects + Notes API: prune_notes(): Prune notes that belong to non-existing objects + t3305: Verify that removing notes triggers automatic fanout consolidation + builtin-notes: Add "remove" subcommand for removing existing notes + Teach builtin-notes to remove empty notes + Teach notes code to properly preserve non-notes in the notes tree + t3305: Verify that adding many notes with git-notes triggers increased fanout + t3301: Verify successful annotation of non-commits + Builtin-ify git-notes + Refactor notes concatenation into a flexible interface for combining notes + Notes API: Allow multiple concurrent notes trees with new struct notes_tree + Notes API: write_notes_tree(): Store the notes tree in the database + Notes API: for_each_note(): Traverse the entire notes tree with a callback + Notes API: get_note(): Return the note annotating the given object + Notes API: remove_note(): Remove note objects from the notes tree structure + Notes API: add_note(): Add note objects to the internal notes tree structure + Notes API: init_notes(): Initialize the notes tree from the given notes ref + Add tests for checking correct handling of $GIT_NOTES_REF and core.notesRef + Notes API: get_commit_notes() -> format_note() + remove the commit restriction + Minor cosmetic fixes to notes.c (this branch shares commits with sb/notes-parse-opt and tr/notes-display.)
