+What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2016, #08; Tue, 27)
--------------------------------------------------
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.
-A bunch of topics have graduated to 'next', including a few that
-were so far marked as "needs review" or "will hold", as I think
-giving them a greater visibility and guinea pigs would be the most
-efficient way to get feedback from the real world ;-) Some of them
-may be "Meh" topic, which might be why they weren't getting any
-feedback so far, but at least this way we'd know if there are
-breakages in them (in which case we can just revert and discard
-them).
-
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

+* mh/diff-indent-heuristic (2016-09-19) 8 commits
+ (merged to 'next' on 2016-09-22 at e71d742)
+ + blame: honor the diff heuristic options and config
+ + parse-options: add parse_opt_unknown_cb()
+ + diff: improve positioning of add/delete blocks in diffs
+ + xdl_change_compact(): introduce the concept of a change group
+ + recs_match(): take two xrecord_t pointers as arguments
+ + is_blank_line(): take a single xrecord_t as argument
+ + xdl_change_compact(): only use heuristic if group can't be matched
+ + xdl_change_compact(): fix compaction heuristic to adjust ixo
+
+ Output from "git diff" can be made easier to read by selecting
+ which lines are common and which lines are added/deleted
+ intelligently when the lines before and after the changed section
+ are the same. A command line option is added to help with the
+ experiment to find a good heuristics.

-* jk/verify-packfile-gently (2016-09-22) 1 commit
- - verify_packfile: check pack validity before accessing data
+ Some codepaths in "git diff" used regexec(3) on a buffer that was
+ mmap(2)ed, which may not have a terminating NUL, leading to a read
+ beyond the end of the mapped region. This was fixed by introducing
+ a regexec_buf() helper that takes a <ptr,len> pair with REG_STARTEND
+ extension.
- A low-level function verify_packfile() was meant to show errors
- detected without dying itself, but under some conditions it didn't
- and died instead, which has been fixed.
- Will merge to 'next'.

+ (merged to 'next' on 2016-09-22 at 3b39442)
+ + format-patch: add "--rfc" for the common case of [RFC PATCH]
+ In some projects, it is common to use "[RFC PATCH]" as the subject
+ prefix for a patch meant for discussion rather than application. A
+ new option "--rfc" was a short-hand for "--subject-prefix=RFC PATCH"
+ to help the participants of such projects.
-* jt/fetch-pack-in-vain-count-with-stateless (2016-09-23) 1 commit
- - fetch-pack: do not reset in_vain on non-novel acks
- When "git fetch" tries to find where the history it has diverged
- from what the other side has, it has a mechanism to avoid digging
- too deep into irrelevant side branches. This however did not work
- well over the "smart-http" transport due to a design bug, which has

+ + travis-ci: ask homebrew for its path instead of hardcoding it
+
+ The procedure to build Git on Mac OS X for Travis CI hardcoded the
+ internal directory structure we assumed HomeBrew uses, which was a
+ no-no. The procedure has been updated to ask HomeBrew things we

+ + Documentation/config: default for color.* is color.ui
+
+ Documentation for individual configuration variables to control use
+ of color (like `color.grep`) said that their default value is
+ 'false', instead of saying their default is taken from `color.ui`.
+ When we updated the default value for color.ui from 'false' to
+ 'auto' quite a while ago, all of them broke. This has been
+ corrected.

+ + checkout: fix ambiguity check in subdir
+ + checkout.txt: document a common case that ignores ambiguation rules
+ + checkout: add some spaces between code and comment
+
+ "git checkout <word>" does not follow the usual disambiguation
+ rules when the <word> can be both a rev and a path, to allow
+ checking out a branch 'foo' in a project that happens to have a
+ file 'foo' in the working tree without having to disambiguate.
+ This was poorly documented and the check was incorrect when the

+
+ When given an abbreviated object name that is not (or more

+ "ambiguous argument". This error is now accompanied by hints that
+ lists the objects that begins with the given prefix. During the

- "git checkout <word>" does not follow the usual disambiguation
- rules when the <word> can be both a rev and a path, to allow
- checking out a branch 'foo' in a project that happens to have a

- Output from "git diff" can be made easier to read by selecting

- intelligently when the lines before and after the changed section
- are the same. A command line option is added to help with the
