What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2014, #01; Tue, 2)
--------------------------------------------------

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 first batch of topics have graduated to 'master'.

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"]

* bc/archive-pax-header-mode (2014-08-04) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2014-08-26 at 51fca1a)
 + archive: honor tar.umask even for pax headers

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2014-08-13

 Implementations of "tar" that do not understand an extended pax
 header would extract the contents of it in a regular file; make
 sure the permission bits of this file follows the same tar.umask
 configuration setting.


* jc/reopen-lock-file (2014-07-14) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2014-08-26 at c5a5a12)
 + lockfile: allow reopening a closed but still locked file

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2014-07-21

 Needed in the "commit -p" code path to update the cache tree in the
 index (e.g. for dt/cache-tree-repair topic).


* jk/pretty-empty-format (2014-07-30) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2014-08-26 at 1eb7cc3)
 + pretty: make empty userformats truly empty
 + pretty: treat "--format=" as an empty userformat
 + revision: drop useless string offset when parsing "--pretty"

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2014-08-13

 "git log --pretty/format=" with an empty format string did not mean
 the more obvious "No output whatsoever" but "Use default format",
 which was counterintuitive.


* mm/config-edit-global (2014-07-25) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2014-08-26 at 3a47fc5)
 + commit: advertise config --global --edit on guessed identity
 + home_config_paths(): let the caller ignore xdg path
 + config --global --edit: create a template file if needed

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2014-07-31

 Start "git config --edit --global" from a skeletal per-user
 configuration file contents, instead of a total blank, when the
 user does not already have any.  This immediately reduces the need
 for a later "Have you forgotten setting core.user?" and we can add
 more to the template as we gain more experience.


* pr/remotes-in-hashmap (2014-07-30) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2014-08-26 at 2052a31)
 + use a hashmap to make remotes faster

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2014-08-13

 Optimize remotes configuration look-up in a repository with very
 many remotes defined.


* rs/init-no-duplicate-real-path (2014-07-28) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2014-08-26 at c66e1c4)
 + init: avoid superfluous real_path() calls

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2014-07-31


* rs/strbuf-getcwd (2014-08-26) 10 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2014-08-26 at 11be0d6)
 + use strbuf_add_absolute_path() to add absolute paths
 + abspath: convert absolute_path() to strbuf
 + use xgetcwd() to set $GIT_DIR
 + use xgetcwd() to get the current directory or die
 + wrapper: add xgetcwd()
 + abspath: convert real_path_internal() to strbuf
 + abspath: use strbuf_getcwd() to remember original working directory
 + setup: convert setup_git_directory_gently_1 et al. to strbuf
 + unix-sockets: use strbuf_getcwd()
 + strbuf: add strbuf_getcwd()
 (this branch is tangled with nd/lock-paths-absolute.)

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2014-08-18

 Reduce the use of fixed sized buffer passed to getcwd() calls
 by introducing xgetcwd() helper.


* ta/config-set (2014-07-29) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2014-08-26 at 81395f9)
 + test-config: add tests for the config_set API
 + add `config_set` API for caching config-like files
 (this branch is used by ta/config-set-1 and ta/config-set-2.)

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2014-08-13

 Add in-core caching layer to let us avoid reading the same
 configuration files number of times.


* ta/pretty-parse-config (2014-08-04) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2014-08-26 at 901e8c2)
 + pretty.c: make git_pretty_formats_config return -1 on git_config_string failure

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2014-08-13

* bg/rebase-off-of-previous-branch (2014-04-16) 1 commit
 - git-rebase: print name of rev when using shorthand

 Teach "git rebase -" to report the concrete name of the branch
 (i.e. the previous one).

 But it stops short and does not do the same for "git rebase @{-1}".
 Expecting a reroll.


* tr/merge-recursive-index-only (2014-02-05) 3 commits
 - 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 --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
 . revision: fold all merge diff variants into an enum merge_diff_mode
 . combine-diff: do not pass revs->dense_combined_merges redundantly
 (this branch uses tr/merge-recursive-index-only.)

 "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.

 Needs to be rebased, now kb/fast-hashmap topic is in.


* jk/makefile (2014-02-05) 16 commits
 . FIXUP
 . move LESS/LV pager environment to Makefile
 . Makefile: teach scripts to include make variables

 . Makefile: introduce make-var helper function
 . Makefile: fix git-instaweb dependency on gitweb
 . Makefile: drop USE_GETTEXT_SCHEME from GIT-CFLAGS

 quoting purposes, and make it easier to robustly express the
 dependency rules.

 Expecting a reroll.


* po/everyday-doc (2014-01-27) 1 commit
 - Make 'git help everyday' work

 This may make the said command to emit something, but the source is
 not meant to be formatted into a manual pages to begin with, and
 also its contents are a bit stale.  It may be a good first step in
 the right direction, but needs more work to at least get the
 mark-up right before public consumption.

 Will hold.


* rb/merge-prepare-commit-msg-hook (2014-01-10) 4 commits
 - merge: drop unused arg from abort_commit method signature
 - merge: make prepare_to_commit responsible for write_merge_state
 - t7505: ensure cleanup after hook blocks merge
 - t7505: add missing &&

 Expose more merge states (e.g. $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MODE) to hooks that
 run during "git merge".  The log message stresses too much on one
 hook, prepare-commit-msg, but it would equally apply to other hooks
 like post-merge, I think.

 Waiting for a reroll.


* jc/graph-post-root-gap (2013-12-30) 3 commits
 - WIP: document what we want at the end
 - graph: remove unused code a bit
 - graph: stuff the current commit into graph->columns[]

 This was primarily a RFH ($gmane/239580).

 - 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 before sending it out.

* ta/config-add-to-empty-or-true-fix (2014-08-18) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2014-08-29 at d219212)
 + make config --add behave correctly for empty and NULL values

 We may want to undo the "a^" bit along the lines of $gmane/255445


* et/spell-poll-infinite-with-minus-one-only (2014-08-22) 1 commit
 - upload-pack: keep poll(2)'s timeout to -1

 We used to pass -1000 to poll(2), expecting it to also mean "no
 timeout", which should be spelled as -1.

 Will merge to 'next'.


* jk/make-simplify-dependencies (2014-08-26) 3 commits
 - Makefile: drop CHECK_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES code
 - Makefile: use `find` to determine static header dependencies
 - i18n: treat "make pot" as an explicitly-invoked target

 Admit that keeping LIB_H up-to-date, only for those that do not use
 the automatically generated dependencies, is a losing battle, and
 make it conservative by making everything depend on anything.

 Will merge to 'next'.


* jk/prompt-stash-could-be-packed (2014-08-25) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2014-08-29 at 526e3bd)
 + git-prompt: do not look for refs/stash in $GIT_DIR

 The prompt script checked $GIT_DIR/ref/stash file to see if there
 is a stash, which was a no-no.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* jk/prune-top-level-refs-after-packing (2014-08-25) 1 commit
 - pack-refs: prune top-level refs like "refs/foo"

 After "pack-refs --prune" packed refs at the top-level, it failed
 to prune them.

 Will merge to 'next'.


* jk/fast-import-fixes (2014-08-25) 2 commits
 - fast-import: fix buffer overflow in dump_tags
 - fast-import: clean up pack_data pointer in end_packfile

 With sufficiently long refnames, fast-import could have overflown
 an on-stack buffer.

 Will merge to 'next'.


* nd/fetch-pass-quiet-to-gc-child-process (2014-08-18) 2 commits
 - fetch: silence git-gc if --quiet is given

 + pretty: note that %cd respects the --date= option

 Documentation update.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* jk/name-decoration-alloc (2014-08-27) 3 commits
 - log-tree: use FLEX_ARRAY in name_decoration
 - log-tree: make name_decoration hash static
 - log-tree: make add_name_decoration a public function

 The API to allocate the structure to keep track of commit
 decoration was cumbersome to use, inviting lazy code to
 overallocate memory.

 Will merge to 'next'.

 - http: style fixes for curl_multi_init error check
 - http.c: die if curl_*_init fails

 May need description on what makes various modes of operation to
 decide that the request can become a "no-op".

* sp/stream-clean-filter (2014-08-28) 6 commits
 - convert: stream from fd to required clean filter to reduce used address space
 - copy_fd(): do not close the input file descriptor
 - mmap_limit: introduce GIT_MMAP_LIMIT to allow testing expected mmap size

* jc/push-cert (2014-08-25) 20 commits
 - signed push: fortify against replay attacks
 - signed-push: add "pushee" header to push certificate
 - signed push: remove duplicated protocol info
 - send-pack: send feature request on push-cert packet
 - receive-pack: GPG-validate push certificates
 - the beginning of the signed push
 - pack-protocol doc: typofix for PKT-LINE
 - gpg-interface: move parse_signature() to where it should be
 - gpg-interface: move parse_gpg_output() to where it should be
 - send-pack: clarify that cmds_sent is a boolean
 - send-pack: refactor inspecting and resetting status and sending commands
 - send-pack: rename "new_refs" to "need_pack_data"
 - send-pack: factor out capability string generation
 - send-pack: always send capabilities
 - send-pack: refactor decision to send update per ref
 - send-pack: move REF_STATUS_REJECT_NODELETE logic a bit higher
 - receive-pack: factor out queueing of command
 - receive-pack: do not reuse old_sha1[] for other things
 - receive-pack: parse feature request a bit earlier
 - receive-pack: do not overallocate command structure

 Allow "git push" request to be signed, so that it can be verified
 audited, using the GPG signature of the person who pushed, that the
 tips of branches at a public repository really point the commits
 the pusher wanted to, without having to "trust" the server.

 The tip two feels still a bit slushy, but otherwise should be
 reasonably solid to build upon.

 + apply: omit ws check for excluded paths
 + apply: hoist use_patch() helper for path exclusion up
 + apply: use the right attribute for paths in non-Git patches

 Applying a patch not generated by Git in a subdirectory used to
 check the whitespace breakage using the attributes for incorrect
 paths. Also whitespace checks were performed even for paths
 excluded via "git apply --exclude=<path>" mechanism.

 "git -c section.var command" and "git -c section.var= command"
 should pass the configuration differently (the former should be
 a boolean true, the latter should be an empty string).

 - refs.c: make repack_without_refs static
 - remote.c: use a transaction for deleting refs
 - refs.c: write updates to packed refs when a transaction has more than one ref
 - refs.c: move reflog updates into its own function
 (this branch uses rs/ref-transaction, rs/ref-transaction-1, rs/ref-transaction-reflog and rs/ref-transaction-rename.)

 Follow-up on rs/ref-transaction series to use the packed-ref to
 achieve atomicity when multiple refs are involved.

 No more nitpicks and better design suggestions?

 (this branch is used by rs/ref-transaction-multi; uses rs/ref-transaction, rs/ref-transaction-1 and rs/ref-transaction-reflog.)

 Follow-up on rs/ref-transaction series to make renaming a ref
 transactional (i.e. "delete old and create new" should not leave
 an in-between state behind when it fails).

 No more nitpicks and better design suggestions?

 - refs.c: add a function to append a reflog entry to a fd
 - refs.c: add a new update_type field to ref_update
 - refs.c: rename the transaction functions
 - refs.c: make ref_transaction_delete a wrapper for ref_transaction_update

 (this branch is used by rs/ref-transaction-multi and rs/ref-transaction-rename; uses rs/ref-transaction and rs/ref-transaction-1.)

 Cover updates to reflog with the same transaction mechanism as used
 for reflog manipulations.

 No more nitpicks and better design suggestions?

  (merged to 'next' on 2014-08-29 at 0d00bb7)
 + test prerequisites: enumerate with commas
 + test prerequisites: eradicate NOT_FOO

 We have been using NOT_{MINGW,CYGWIN} test prerequisites long
 before Peff invented support for negated prerequisites e.g. !MINGW
 and we still add more uses of the former.  Convert them to the
 latter to avoid confusion.

 Will merge to 'master'.

 (this branch is used by rs/ref-transaction, rs/ref-transaction-multi, rs/ref-transaction-reflog and rs/ref-transaction-rename.)

 The second batch of the transactional ref update series.
 A hopefully final reroll exists but haven't picked it up yet.


* dt/cache-tree-repair (2014-09-02) 5 commits
 - cache-tree: propagate invalidation up when punting
  (merged to 'next' on 2014-08-26 at 6faccdb)
 + cache-tree: Write updated cache-tree after commit
 + cache-tree: subdirectory tests
 + test-dump-cache-tree: invalid trees are not errors

 Originally merged to 'next' on 2014-07-21

 Add a few more places in "commit" and "checkout" that make sure
 that the cache-tree is fully populated in the index.

 The tip one is a proposed fix for $gmane/256285, but it is not
 quite right yet.

* jc/test-lazy-prereq (2014-06-13) 1 commit
 - tests: drop GIT_*_TIMING_TESTS environment variable support

 Test-script clean-up.

 Will hold.


* mt/patch-id-stable (2014-06-10) 1 commit
 - patch-id: change default to stable

 Teaches "git patch-id" to compute the patch ID that does not change
 when the files in a single patch is reordered. As this new algorithm
 is backward incompatible, the last bit to flip it to be the default
 is left out of 'master' for now.

 Will hold.
