+What's cooking in git.git (Jul 2012, #06; Sun, 22)
--------------------------------------------------
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 sixth batch of topics are now in 'master'.
+I think we are more or less done for this cycle except for a handful
+of topics that are to be rerolled, even though I haven't tagged the
+tip of the 'master' with 1.7.12-rc0 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

- + commit: fix "--amend --only" with no pathspec
-
-"git commit --amend --only --" was meant to allow "Clever" people to

+ + date.c: Fix off by one error in object-header date parsing
+ (merged to 'next' on 2012-07-10 at f9774ca)
+ + filter-branch: do not forget the '@' prefix to force git-timestamp
-I finished the streaming checkout codepath, but as explained in
-127b177 (bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding, 2011-11-30),
-these are still early steps of a long and painful journey. At least
-pack-objects and fsck need to learn the new encoding for the series
-to be usable locally, and then index-pack/unpack-objects needs to
-learn it to be used remotely.
+In 1.7.9 era, we taught "git rebase" about the raw timestamp format
+but we did not teach the same trick to "filter-branch", which rolled
+a similar logic on its own.
-Given that I heard a lot of noise that people want large files, and
-that I was asked by somebody at GitTogether'11 privately for an
-advice on how to pay developers (not me) to help adding necessary
-support, I am somewhat dissapointed that the original patch series
-that was sent almost two months ago still remains here without much
-comments and updates from the developer community. I even made the
-interface to the logic that decides where to split chunks easily
-replaceable, and I deliberately made the logic in the original patch
-extremely stupid to entice others, especially the "bup" fanboys, to
-come up with a better logic, thinking that giving people an easy
-target to shoot for, they may be encouraged to help out. The plan is
-not working :-(.

---------------------------------------------------
-[Cooking]
+Logic to disambiguate abbreviated object names have been taught to
+take advantage of object types that are expected in the context,
+e.g. XXXXXX in the "git describe" output v1.2.3-gXXXXXX must be a
+commit object, not a blob nor a tree. This will help us prolong the
+lifetime of abbreviated object names.

+ + submodules: don't stumble over symbolic links when cloning recursively
When "git submodule add" clones a submodule repository, it can get
confused where to store the resulting submodule repository in the
superproject's .git/ directory when there is a symbolic link in the
path to the current directory.

+When the user does not specify what remote to interact with, we
+often attempt to use 'origin'. This can now be customized via a
+configuration variable.
+
+Expecting a reroll.
+"The first remote becomes the default" bit is better done as a
+separate step.
-Teaches the object name parser things like a "git describe" output
-is always a commit object, "A" in "git log A" must be a committish,
-and "A" and "B" in "git log A...B" both must be committish, etc., to
-prolong the lifetime of abbreviated object names.

+ - get_fetch_map(): tighten checks on dest refs
+ - fetch/push: allow refs/*:refs/*
+
+Allows pushing and fetching refs/stash.
+There still seem to be other bugs hiding (e.g. try pushing twice).
+

+ - chunked-object: streaming checkout
+ - chunked-object: fallback checkout codepaths
+ - bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding
+ - bulk-checkin: allow the same data to be multiply hashed
+ - new representation types in the packstream
+ - packfile: use varint functions
+
+Not ready.
+
+I finished the streaming checkout codepath, but as explained in
+127b177 (bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding, 2011-11-30),
+these are still early steps of a long and painful journey. At least
+pack-objects and fsck need to learn the new encoding for the series
+to be usable locally, and then index-pack/unpack-objects needs to
+learn it to be used remotely.
+
+Given that I heard a lot of noise that people want large files, and
+that I was asked by somebody at GitTogether'11 privately for an
+advice on how to pay developers (not me) to help adding necessary
+support, I am somewhat dissapointed that the original patch series
+that was sent almost two months ago still remains here without much
+comments and updates from the developer community. I even made the
+interface to the logic that decides where to split chunks easily
+replaceable, and I deliberately made the logic in the original patch
+extremely stupid to entice others, especially the "bup" fanboys, to
+come up with a better logic, thinking that giving people an easy
+target to shoot for, they may be encouraged to help out. The plan is
+not working :-(.
