+What's cooking in git.git (Oct 2016, #03; Tue, 11)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. 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.
-With fixes since 2.10 accumulated on the 'master' front, the first
-maintenance release 2.10.1 has been tagged. The auto-abbreviation
-by Linus and Peff is now in 'next'. The tip of 'master' has quite a
-many topics merged since the last report. Pat is back and hopefully
-be more active as the git-gui maintainer. Life is good ;-)
+A handful of topics have been merged to 'master' and the upcoming
+release started to take shape. Quite a few topics that no longer
+merge cleanly to 'pu' and have been excluded from 'pu' for some time
+have finally been moved to the Discarded section (many of them are
+expected to be updated and return).
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

[Graduated to "master"]
-* jc/blame-abbrev (2016-09-28) 1 commit
- (merged to 'next' on 2016-10-03 at 8ec86ff1e1)
- + blame: use DEFAULT_ABBREV macro
-
- Almost everybody uses DEFAULT_ABBREV to refer to the default
- setting for the abbreviation, but "git blame" peeked into
- underlying variable bypassing the macro for no good reason.

+* ak/curl-imap-send-explicit-scheme (2016-08-17) 1 commit
+ (merged to 'next' on 2016-09-22 at 4449584c26)
+ + imap-send: Tell cURL to use imap:// or imaps://
-* jk/ambiguous-short-object-names (2016-09-27) 11 commits
- (merged to 'next' on 2016-09-28 at 1b85295323)
- + get_short_sha1: make default disambiguation configurable
- + get_short_sha1: list ambiguous objects on error
- + for_each_abbrev: drop duplicate objects
- + sha1_array: let callbacks interrupt iteration
- + get_short_sha1: mark ambiguity error for translation
- + get_short_sha1: NUL-terminate hex prefix
- + get_short_sha1: refactor init of disambiguation code
- + get_short_sha1: parse tags when looking for treeish
- + get_sha1: propagate flags to child functions
- + get_sha1: avoid repeating ourselves via ONLY_TO_DIE
- + get_sha1: detect buggy calls with multiple disambiguators
- (this branch is used by jk/abbrev-auto and lt/abbrev-auto.)
+ When we started cURL to talk to imap server when a new enough
+ version of cURL library is available, we forgot to explicitly add
+ imap(s):// before the destination. To some folks, that didn't work
+ and the library tried to make HTTP(s) requests instead.
- When given an abbreviated object name that is not (or more
- realistically, "no longer") unique, we gave a fatal error
- "ambiguous argument". This error is now accompanied by hints that
- lists the objects that begins with the given prefix. During the
- course of development of this new feature, numerous minor bugs were
- uncovered and corrected, the most notable one of which is that we
- gave "short SHA1 xxxx is ambiguous." twice without good reason.
+* cp/completion-negative-refs (2016-08-24) 1 commit
+ (merged to 'next' on 2016-09-22 at abd1585aa6)
+ + completion: support excluding refs
-* jk/graph-padding-fix (2016-09-29) 1 commit
- (merged to 'next' on 2016-10-03 at 3f526e0f38)
- + graph: fix extra spaces in graph_padding_line
+ The command-line completion script (in contrib/) learned to
+ complete "git cmd ^mas<HT>" to complete the negative end of
+ reference to "git cmd ^master".
- The "graph" API used in "git log --graph" miscounted the number of
- output columns consumed so far when drawing a padding line, which
- has been fixed; this did not affect any existing code as nobody
- tried to write anything after the padding on such a line, though.
+* dp/autoconf-curl-ssl (2016-06-28) 1 commit
+ (merged to 'next' on 2016-09-22 at 9c5aeeced9)
+ + ./configure.ac: detect SSL in libcurl using curl-config
-* ps/http-gssapi-cred-delegation (2016-09-29) 1 commit
- (merged to 'next' on 2016-10-03 at 310fbe8f24)
- + http: control GSSAPI credential delegation
+ The ./configure script generated from configure.ac was taught how
+ to detect support of SSL by libcurl better.
- In recent versions of cURL, GSSAPI credential delegation is
- disabled by default due to CVE-2011-2192; introduce a configuration
- to selectively allow enabling this.
+* jc/blame-reverse (2016-06-14) 2 commits
+ (merged to 'next' on 2016-09-22 at d1a8e9ce99)
+ + blame: dwim "blame --reverse OLD" as "blame --reverse OLD.."
+ + blame: improve diagnosis for "--reverse NEW"
-* rs/c-auto-resets-attributes (2016-09-29) 1 commit
- (merged to 'next' on 2016-10-03 at 6a0b946a79)
- + pretty: avoid adding reset for %C(auto) if output is empty
+ It is a common mistake to say "git blame --reverse OLD path",
+ expecting that the command line is dwimmed as if asking how lines
+ in path in an old revision OLD have survived up to the current
+ commit.
- When "%C(auto)" appears at the very beginning of the pretty format
- string, it did not need to issue the reset sequence, but it did.
- This is a small optimization to already graduated topic.
+* jk/pack-objects-optim-mru (2016-08-11) 4 commits
+ (merged to 'next' on 2016-09-21 at 97b919bdbd)
+ + pack-objects: use mru list when iterating over packs
+ + pack-objects: break delta cycles before delta-search phase
+ + sha1_file: make packed_object_info public
+ + provide an initializer for "struct object_info"
-* rs/cocci (2016-10-03) 4 commits
- (merged to 'next' on 2016-10-03 at 758cc6de9c)
- + coccicheck: make transformation for strbuf_addf(sb, "...") more precise
- (merged to 'next' on 2016-09-28 at 26462645f9)
- + use strbuf_add_unique_abbrev() for adding short hashes, part 2
- + use strbuf_addstr() instead of strbuf_addf() with "%s", part 2
- + gitignore: ignore output files of coccicheck make target
+ Originally merged to 'next' on 2016-08-11
- Code clean-up with help from coccinelle tool continues.
+ "git pack-objects" in a repository with many packfiles used to
+ spend a lot of time looking for/at objects in them; the accesses to
+ the packfiles are now optimized by checking the most-recently-used
+ packfile first.
-* sg/ref-filter-parse-optim (2016-10-03) 1 commit
- (merged to 'next' on 2016-10-03 at 9af6bb63e9)
- + ref-filter: strip format option after a field name only once while parsing
+* nd/shallow-deepen (2016-06-13) 27 commits
+ (merged to 'next' on 2016-09-22 at f0cf3e3385)
+ + fetch, upload-pack: --deepen=N extends shallow boundary by N commits

+ + upload-pack: support define shallow boundary by excluding revisions

+ + clone: define shallow clone boundary based on time with --shallow-since
+ + fetch: define shallow boundary with --shallow-since
+ + upload-pack: add deepen-since to cut shallow repos based on time
+ + shallow.c: implement a generic shallow boundary finder based on rev-list
+ + fetch-pack: use a separate flag for fetch in deepening mode
+ + fetch-pack.c: mark strings for translating
+ + fetch-pack: use a common function for verbose printing
+ + fetch-pack: use skip_prefix() instead of starts_with()
+ + upload-pack: move rev-list code out of check_non_tip()
+ + upload-pack: make check_non_tip() clean things up on error
+ + upload-pack: tighten number parsing at "deepen" lines

+ + upload-pack: remove unused variable "backup"

+ + upload-pack: move shallow deepen code out of receive_needs()
+ + transport-helper.c: refactor set_helper_option()
+ + remote-curl.c: convert fetch_git() to use argv_array
- The code that parses the format parameter of for-each-ref command
- has seen a micro-optimization.
+ The existing "git fetch --depth=<n>" option was hard to use
+ correctly when making the history of an existing shallow clone
+ deeper. A new option, "--deepen=<n>", has been added to make this
+ easier to use. "git clone" also learned "--shallow-since=<date>"
+ and "--shallow-exclude=<tag>" options to make it easier to specify
+ "I am interested only in the recent N months worth of history" and
+ "Give me only the history since that version".
-* vn/revision-shorthand-for-side-branch-log (2016-09-27) 1 commit
- (merged to 'next' on 2016-09-28 at c1237b24f6)
- + revision: new rev^-n shorthand for rev^n..rev
+* rs/qsort (2016-10-03) 6 commits
+ (merged to 'next' on 2016-10-06 at 32a5bd3c88)
+ + show-branch: use QSORT
+ + use QSORT, part 2
+ + coccicheck: use --all-includes by default
+ + remove unnecessary check before QSORT
+ + use QSORT
+ + add QSORT
- "git log rev^..rev" is an often-used revision range specification
- to show what was done on a side branch merged at rev. This has
- gained a short-hand "rev^-1". In general "rev^-$n" is the same as
- "^rev^$n rev", i.e. what has happened on other branches while the
- history leading to nth parent was looking the other way.
+ We call "qsort(array, nelem, sizeof(array[0]), fn)", and most of
+ the time third parameter is redundant. A new QSORT() macro lets us
+ omit it.

[New Topics]
-* jc/ws-error-highlight (2016-10-04) 4 commits
- - diff: introduce diff.wsErrorHighlight option

- - diff.c: refactor parse_ws_error_highlight()
- - t4015: split out the "setup" part of ws-error-highlight test
+* ab/gitweb-abbrev-links (2016-10-06) 3 commits
+ - gitweb: link to "git describe"'d commits in log messages
+ - gitweb: link to 7-char+ SHA-1s, not only 8-char+
+ - gitweb: fix a typo in a comment
- "git diff/log --ws-error-highlight=<kind>" lacked the corresponding
- configuration variable to set it by default.
+ In addition to purely abbreviated commit object names, "gitweb"

+ + mergetool: honor -O<orderfile>
+ + mergetool: honor diff.orderFile
+ + mergetool: move main program flow into a main() function
+ + mergetool: add copyright
- Updates the way approximate count of total objects is computed
- while attempting to come up with a unique abbreviated object name,
- which in turn needs to estimate how many hexdigits are necessary to
- ensure uniqueness.
+ "git mergetool" learned to honor "-O<orderfile>" to control the

- Undecided.

+ + files_read_raw_ref: prevent infinite retry loops in general
+ + files_read_raw_ref: avoid infinite loop on broken symlinks
- "git clone" of a local repository can be done at the filesystem
- level, but the codepath did not check errors while copying and
- adjusting the file that lists alternate object stores.

The attributes API has been updated so that it can later be
optimized using the knowledge of which attributes are queried.
- I wanted to polish this topic further to make the attribute
- subsystem thread-ready, but because other topics depend on this
- topic and they do not (yet) need it to be thread-ready.
