What's cooking in git.git (Feb 2015, #03; Wed, 11)
--------------------------------------------------

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

Git 2.3 is out, and the first batch of topics that have been cooking
in the 'next' branch are now in the 'master' branch.  The 'next'
branch will be rewound shortly but not yet.

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

  (merged to 'next' on 2015-01-12 at e64df63)
 + receive-pack: support push-to-checkout hook
 + receive-pack: refactor updateInstead codepath

 Extending the js/push-to-deploy topic, the behaviour of "git push"

 branch that is checked out can be tweaked by push-to-checkout hook.


* jc/unused-symbols (2015-01-15) 8 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-01-22 at 77fd5f0)

  (merged to 'next' on 2015-01-12 at 313c449)
 + rerere: error out on autoupdate failure

 "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did
 not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree
 files and failed to do so for whatever reason.


* km/gettext-n (2015-01-12) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-01-12 at 0cbbf4a)
 + gettext.h: add parentheses around N_ expansion if supported

* mh/reflog-expire (2014-12-22) 24 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-01-12 at 12a7dff)

 + refs.c: add a function to append a reflog entry to a fd
 + refs.c: make ref_transaction_delete a wrapper for ref_transaction_update
 + refs.c: make ref_transaction_create a wrapper for ref_transaction_update
 (this branch is used by sb/atomic-push and sb/atomic-push-fix.)

 Restructure "reflog expire" to fit the reflogs better with the
 recently updated ref API.


* sb/atomic-push (2015-01-14) 11 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-01-14 at 12c4e28)

 - fast-import: avoid running end_packfile recursively

 "git fast-import" used to crash when it could not close and
 conclude the resulting packfile cleanly.

 Will merge to 'next'.


* mh/expire-updateref-fixes (2015-02-09) 10 commits
 - reflog_expire(): lock symbolic refs themselves, not their referent
 - reflog_expire(): never update a reference to null_sha1
 - reflog_expire(): ignore --updateref for symbolic references

 - Merge branch 'sb/atomic-push' into mh/ref-trans-value-check
 - Merge branch 'mh/reflog-expire' into mh/ref-trans-value-check
 (this branch is tangled with mh/refs-have-new.)


* mh/refs-have-new (2015-02-09) 13 commits
 - update_ref(): improve documentation
 - ref_transaction_verify(): new function to check a reference's value

* nd/slim-index-pack-memory-usage (2015-02-10) 3 commits
 - index-pack: kill union delta_base to save memory
 - FIXUP
 - index-pack: reduce memory footprint a bit

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

* jk/sanity (2015-01-27) 3 commits
 - test-lib.sh: set prerequisite SANITY by testing what we really need
 - tests: correct misuses of POSIXPERM
 - t/lib-httpd: switch SANITY check for NOT_ROOT

 Waiting for ack or counter-proposal from Torsten.
 Otherwise looking good.


* tc/t9001-noxmailer (2015-01-30) 1 commit
 - t9001: use older Getopt::Long boolean prefix '--no' rather than '--no-'

 Kyle's update to explicitly support --no-option with older
 Getopt::Long ($gmane/263203) might be a better alternative
 if we have to support them in the longer term.


* jc/diff-b-m (2015-02-01) 1 commit
 - diff: do not use creation-half of -B as a rename target candidate

 "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.


* jn/doc-api-errors (2014-12-04) 1 commit
 - doc: document error handling functions and conventions

 For discussion.
 What's the status of this one????


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

 Expecting a reroll.


* ms/submodule-update-config-doc (2014-11-03) 1 commit
 - submodule: clarify documentation for update subcommand

 Needs a reroll ($gmane/259037).


* je/quiltimport-no-fuzz (2014-10-21) 2 commits
 - git-quiltimport: flip the default not to allow fuzz
 - git-quiltimport.sh: allow declining fuzz with --exact option

 "quiltimport" drove "git apply" always with -C1 option to reduce
 context of the patch in order to give more chance to somewhat stale
 patches to apply.  Add an "--exact" option to disable, and also
 "-C$n" option to customize this behaviour.  The top patch
 optionally flips the default to "--exact".

 Tired of waiting for an Ack; will discard.


* 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).


* hv/submodule-config (2014-11-11) 4 commits
 - do not die on error of parsing fetchrecursesubmodules option
 - use new config API for worktree configurations of submodules
 - extract functions for submodule config set and lookup
 - implement submodule config cache for lookup of submodule names

 Kicked back to 'pu' per request ($gmane/255610).


* ab/add-interactive-show-diff-func-name (2014-05-12) 2 commits
 - SQUASH??? git-add--interactive: Preserve diff heading when splitting hunks
 - git-add--interactive: Preserve diff heading when splitting hunks

 Waiting for a reroll.


* jn/gitweb-utf8-in-links (2014-05-27) 1 commit
 - gitweb: Harden UTF-8 handling in generated links

 $gmane/250758?


* ss/userdiff-update-csharp-java (2014-06-02) 2 commits
 - userdiff: support Java try keyword
 - userdiff: support C# async methods and correct C# keywords

 Reviews sent; waiting for a response.


* 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.


* 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).


* 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 before sending it out.

 the --raw format.

 - t/lib-gpg: sanity-check that we can actually sign

 Older GnuPG implementation may not correctly import the keyring
 material we prepare for the tests to use.

 Will merge to 'next'.


* jc/apply-beyond-symlink (2015-02-10) 4 commits
 - apply: do not touch a file beyond a symbolic link
 - apply: do not read from beyond a symbolic link
 - apply: do not read from the filesystem under --index
 - apply: reject input that touches outside the working area

 "git apply" was not very careful about reading from, removing,
 updating and creating paths outside the working tree (under
 --index/--cached) or the current directory (when used as a
 replacement for GNU patch).

 Will merge to 'next'.


* jc/remote-set-url-doc (2015-01-29) 1 commit
 - Documentation/git-remote.txt: stress that set-url is not for triangular

 via different transports, not two separate repositories.

 - add -i: return from list_and_choose if there is no candidate

 the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the
 user could have made was to choose nothing.
