+
+What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2009, #02; Wed, 12)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+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 branches, but I am still
+holding onto them.
+
+After the 1.6.5 cycle, the next release will be 1.7.0, and we will push
+out the planned "push safety" change. 1.7.0 would be a good time to
+introduce "justifiable" changes that are not strictly backward compatible.
+
+During 1.6.5 cycle, 'next' will hold topics meant for 1.6.5 and 1.7.0.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[New Topics]
+
+* ld/p4 (Thu Jul 30 00:13:46 2009 +0100) 1 commit
+ - git-p4: stream from perforce to speed up clones
+
+Waiting for Ack/Nack from stakeholders. Probably I should merge this to
+'next' soon, keep it there for a week and see if anybody screams, aka
+"Nack now or forever hold your peace" ;-).
+
+* mr/gitweb-xz (Thu Aug 6 10:28:25 2009 -0400) 3 commits
+ - gitweb: add support for XZ compressed snapshots
+ - gitweb: update INSTALL regarding specific snapshot settings
+ - gitweb: support to globally disable a snapshot format
+
+This should be safe as long as it does not silently enable itself for
+folks who merely updated gitweb to this version without explicitly asking
+for the new format (but I do not remember if that is what the patch does).
+
+* jh/cvs-helper (Wed Aug 12 02:13:51 2009 +0200) 4 commits
+ - Add simple selftests of git-remote-cvs functionality
+ - Third draft of CVS remote helper program
+ - Add Python support library for CVS remote helper
+ - Basic build infrastructure for Python scripts
+
+Builds on db/vcs-helper. The last round failed its own selftest for me,
+but this one seems to be Ok. Documentation/git-remote-cvs.txt needs to be
+fixed to build, though.
+
+* bc/maint-am-email (Thu Aug 6 20:08:13 2009 -0500) 2 commits
+ + git-am: print fair error message when format detection fails
+ + am: allow individual e-mail files as input
+
+It seems that the "not mbox but a single piece of e-mail" format was
+something many people relied on. I'm cooking this in 'next', and
+hopefully it can graduate both to 'master' and 'maint'.
+
+* js/maint-cover-letter-non-ascii (Mon Aug 10 18:22:22 2009 +0200) 2 commits
+ + Correctly mark cover letters' encodings if they are not pure ASCII
+ + Expose the has_non_ascii() function
+
+* jc/verify-pack-stat (Fri Aug 7 15:45:30 2009 -0700) 2 commits
+ + verify-pack --stat-only: show histogram without verifying
+ + Merge branch 'maint' into jc/verify-pack-stat
+
+* lt/block-sha1 (Wed Aug 12 15:47:55 2009 -0400) 15 commits
+ + block-sha1: support for architectures with memory alignment
+ restrictions
+ + block-sha1: split the different "hacks" to be individually
+ selected
+ + block-sha1: move code around
+ + block-sha1: improve code on large-register-set machines
+ + block-sha1: improved SHA1 hashing
+ + block-sha1: perform register rotation using cpp
+ + block-sha1: get rid of redundant 'lenW' context
+ + block-sha1: Use '(B&C)+(D&(B^C))' instead of '(B&C)|(D&(B|C))' in
+ round 3
+ + block-sha1: macroize the rounds a bit further
+ + block-sha1: re-use the temporary array as we calculate the SHA1
+ + block-sha1: make the 'ntohl()' part of the first SHA1 loop
+ + block-sha1: minor fixups
+ + block-sha1: try to use rol/ror appropriately
+ + block-sha1: undo ctx->size change
+ + Add new optimized C 'block-sha1' routines
+
+Linus's "written in C, faster than handcrafted asm" SHA-1 implementation
+with clean-up and ARM support from Nico.
+
+* nd/sparse (Tue Aug 11 22:44:06 2009 +0700) 8 commits
+ . --sparse for porcelains
+ . Support sparse checkout in unpack_trees() and read-tree
+ . unpack-trees.c: generalize verify_* functions
+ . dir.c: export excluded_1() and add_excludes_from_file_1()
+ . excluded_1(): support exclude "directories" in index
+ . Read .gitignore from index if it is assume-unchanged
+ . Avoid writing to buffer in add_excludes_from_file_1()
+ . Prevent diff machinery from examining assume-unchanged entries on
+ worktree
+
+Privately applied but not yet queued to 'pu', expecting a minor reroll
+near the tip.
+
+* jk/maint-merge-msg-fix (Sun Aug 9 06:02:51 2009 -0400) 3 commits
+ + merge: indicate remote tracking branches in merge message
+ + merge: fix incorrect merge message for ambiguous tag/branch
+ + add tests for merge message headings

+* zf/maint-gitweb-acname (Sun Aug 2 09:42:24 2009 +0200) 1 commit
+ - gitweb: parse_commit_text encoding fix
+
+* jc/maint-merge-recursive-fix (Thu Jul 30 17:38:15 2009 -0700) 1 commit
+ - merge-recursive: don't segfault while handling rename clashes

+ + run_command: report failure to execute the program, but optionally
+ don't
+ + run_command: encode deadly signal number in the return value
+ + run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error
+ codes
+ + run_command: return exit code as positive value
+ + MinGW: simplify waitpid() emulation macros

+ + grep: Add --max-depth option.

+ + git-checkout: be careful about untracked symlinks
+ + lstat_cache: guard against full match of length of 'name'
+ parameter
+ + Demonstrate bugs when a directory is replaced with a symlink
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[In 'next']
+
+* bc/mailsplit-cr-at-eol (Tue Aug 4 22:31:59 2009 -0500) 4 commits
+ + Allow mailsplit (and hence git-am) to handle mails with CRLF line-
+ endings
+ + builtin-mailsplit.c: remove read_line_with_nul() since it is no
+ longer used
+ + builtin-mailinfo,builtin-mailsplit: use strbufs
+ + strbuf: add new function strbuf_getwholeline()
+
+* gb/apply-ignore-whitespace (Tue Aug 4 13:16:49 2009 +0200) 1 commit
+ + git apply: option to ignore whitespace differences
+

+ + diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK
+ + diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace" options
+
+This changes exit code from "git diff --ignore-whitespace" and friends
+when there is no actual output. It is a backward incompatible change, but
+we could argue that it is a bugfix.
+
+* jc/1.7.0-push-safety (Mon Feb 9 00:19:46 2009 -0800) 2 commits
+ + Refuse deleting the current branch via push
+ + Refuse updating the current branch in a non-bare repository via

+[In 'pu']
+
+* jn/gitweb-blame (Thu Aug 6 19:11:52 2009 +0200) 14 commits
+ - gitweb: Create links leading to 'blame_incremental' using
+ JavaScript
+ - gitweb: Incremental blame (proof of concept)
+ - gitweb: Add optional "time to generate page" info in footer
+ + Revert the four topmost commits from jn/gitweb-blame topic
+ + gitweb: Create links leading to 'blame_incremental' using
+ JavaScript
+ + gitweb: Incremental blame (proof of concept)
+ + gitweb: Add optional "time to generate page" info in footer

+ + gitweb: Mark commits with no "previous" in 'blame' view
+ + gitweb: Use "previous" header of git-blame -p in 'blame' view
+ + gitweb: Mark boundary commits in 'blame' view
+ + gitweb: Make .error style generic
+
+I haven't picked up Jakub's replacement to the second one from the tip.
+We probably should merge up to "Use light/dark" (aef3768) to 'master' and
+start the rest over.
+
+* jc/maint-clean-nested-dir-safety (Tue Jun 30 15:33:45 2009 -0700) 1 commit
+ + clean: require double -f options to nuke nested git repository and
+ work tree
+
+This probably should go in 'master' soonish.
+
+* jc/shortstatus (Tue Aug 4 23:55:22 2009 -0700) 12 commits
+ - git stat -s: short status output
+ - git stat: pathspec limits, unlike traditional "git status"
+ - git stat: the beginning
+ + wt-status: collect untracked files in a separate "collect" phase
+ + Make git_status_config() file scope static to builtin-commit.c
+ + wt-status: move wt_status_colors[] into wt_status structure
+ + wt-status: move many global settings to wt_status structure
+ + commit: --dry-run
+ + status: show worktree status of conflicted paths separately
+ + wt-status.c: rework the way changes to the index and work tree are
+ summarized
+ + diff-index: keep the original index intact
+ + diff-index: report unmerged new entries
+
+Slowly progressing. I've addressed issues pointed out by Jeff in his
+review, and hopefully the whole thing would be ready to go.
+
+* db/vcs-helper (Sun Aug 9 15:28:28 2009 -0400) 17 commits
+ - Allow helpers to request marks for fast-import
+ - Allow helpers to report in "list" command that the ref is
+ unchanged
+ - Add support for "import" helper command
+ - transport-helper_init(): fix a memory leak in error path
+ - Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs
+ - Allow programs to not depend on remotes having urls
+ - Allow fetch to modify refs
+ - Use a function to determine whether a remote is valid
+ - Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers
+ + Makefile: install hardlinks for git-remote-<scheme> supported by
+ libcurl if possible
+ + Makefile: do not link three copies of git-remote-* programs
+ + Makefile: git-http-fetch does not need expat
+ + http-fetch: Fix Makefile dependancies
+ + Add transport native helper executables to .gitignore
+ + git-http-fetch: not a builtin
+ + Use an external program to implement fetching with curl
+ + Add support for external programs for handling native fetches
+
+This consolidates various previous rounds from Daniel and Johan. It seems
+that the use of colon ':' before vcs helper name needs to be corrected
+before this series can go further.
+
+* je/send-email-no-subject (Wed Aug 5 18:49:54 2009 +0200) 1 commit
+ - send-email: confirm on empty mail subjects
+
+This seems to break t9001. Near the tip of 'pu' I have a iffy workaround.
+
+* jh/notes (Wed Jul 29 04:25:26 2009 +0200) 8 commits
+ - t3302-notes-index-expensive: Speed up create_repo()

+ - Speed up git notes lookup
+ - Add a script to edit/inspect notes
+ - Introduce commit notes
+
+* cc/sequencer-rebase-i (Wed Aug 5 22:53:00 2009 +0200) 8 commits
+ - rebase -i: use "git sequencer--helper --reset-hard"
+ - sequencer: add "--reset-hard" option to "git sequencer--helper"

+ - sequencer: add "reset_almost_hard()" and related functions
+ - rebase -i: use "git sequencer--helper --make-patch"
+ - sequencer: free memory used in "make_patch" function
+ - sequencer: add "make_patch" function to save a patch
+ - sequencer: add "builtin-sequencer--helper.c"
+
+More sequencer updates. I didn't look at the latest round that had a
+handful "oops, fix that earlier botch" patches, expecting a cleaner
+reroll.
+
+* jc/mailinfo-remove-brackets (Wed Jul 15 15:31:12 2009 -0700) 1 commit
+ - mailinfo: -b option keeps [bracketed] strings that is not a
+ [PATCH] marker
+
+* tr/reset-checkout-patch (Tue Jul 28 23:20:12 2009 +0200) 8 commits
+ - DWIM 'git stash save -p' for 'git stash -p'

+
+This should be merged to 'next' soonish, but I keep forgetting.
+

+ . branch.c: if remote is not config'd for branch, don't try delete
+ push config
+ . branch, checkout: introduce autosetuppush
+ . move deletion of merge configuration to branch.c
+ . remote: add per-remote autosetupmerge and autosetuprebase
+ configuration
+ . introduce a struct tracking_config
+ . branch: install_branch_config and struct tracking refactoring
+ . config: allow false and true values for branch.autosetuprebase
+
+Has been ejected from 'pu' for some time, expecting a reroll.
