+
+What's cooking in git.git (Jun 2009, #02; Thu, 18)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+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.
+
+The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
+meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
+
+Unfortunately I am unusually short of time these days, and some of the
+topics unfortunately got less "final review before deciding to merge up"
+than I would have liked to give them. This message itself has more
+"please comment/review" requests than usual.

+ + for-each-ref: Do not lookup objects when they will not be used
+
+I think this makes sense, except that I have this nagging feeling that its
+use of for_each_rawref() where the original used for_each_ref() may have
+some unintended side effects in corner cases.

+ + mergetool--lib: add support for araxis merge

+
+Regardless of metrics, this is an improvement from the current one. Will
+merge to 'master', and let the finer details taken care of later, which
+is already happening.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Will merge to "master" soon]
+
+* ph/submodule-rebase (Wed Jun 3 00:59:12 2009 +0200) 1 commit
+ + git-submodule: add support for --merge.
+
+Even though some might still argue that "update --merge" is not a good
+mode of operation.
+
+* jc/cache-tree (Fri May 22 23:14:25 2009 -0700) 5 commits
+ + Avoid "diff-index --cached" optimization under --find-copies-
+ harder
+ + Optimize "diff-index --cached" using cache-tree
+ + t4007: modernize the style
+ + cache-tree.c::cache_tree_find(): simplify internal API
+ + write-tree --ignore-cache-tree
+
+* mn/maint-iconv-autoconf (Mon Jun 8 20:46:38 2009 -0700) 1 commit
+ + fix handling of iconv configuration options
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
+
+* jh/notes (Sat May 16 13:44:17 2009 +0200) 5 commits
+ - Teach "-m <msg>" and "-F <file>" to "git notes edit"
+ - Add an expensive test for git-notes
+ - Speed up git notes lookup
+ - Add a script to edit/inspect notes
+ - Introduce commit notes
+
+Dscho asked about the performance implications of this; I do not think I
+saw any progress on that yet...
+
+* lt/read-directory (Fri May 15 12:01:29 2009 -0700) 3 commits
+ - Add initial support for pathname conversion to UTF-8
+ - read_directory(): infrastructure for pathname character set
+ conversion
+ - Add 'fill_directory()' helper function for directory traversal
+
+Before adding the real "conversion", this needs a few real fixups, I
+think. For example there is one hardcoded array that is used without
+bounds check.
+
+* ar/maint-1.6.2-merge-recursive-d-f (Mon May 11 21:25:36 2009 +0200) 2 commits
+ - Fix for a merge where a branch has an F->D transition
+ - Add a reminder test case for a merge with F/D transition
+
+Although the reported breakage is covered with the patch, Alex feels the
+solution unsatisfactory. Cleaning up D/F conflict handling in merge-recursive
+may be long overdue but seems to be a hard problem.
+
+* ps/blame (Thu Mar 12 21:30:03 2009 +1100) 1 commit
+ - blame.c: start libifying the blame infrastructure
+
+A few minor point remains in this initial one.
+
+* jc/log-tz (Tue Mar 3 00:45:37 2009 -0800) 1 commit
+ - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected
+
+The one I posted had a few corner-case bugs that was caught with the test
+suite; this one has them fixed. People did not like the UI so it is kept
+out of 'next'
+
+* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit
+ - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree
+
+This is a feature waiting for a user.
+
+We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am
+using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes
+rules for that final path". Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the
+data in the canonical repository representation.
+
+rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse. It reads the three
+files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work
+tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical
+representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical
+representation and writes the resulting mess out. It needs to be fixed to
+read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the
+canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write
+the results out after convert_to_working_tree(). It also needs to write
+in binary mode as well.
+
+* db/foreign-scm (Tue Mar 24 23:04:12 2009 -0400) 3 commits
+ - Add option for using a foreign VCS
+ - Document details of transport function APIs
+ - Allow late reporting of fetched hashes
+
+* hv/cvsps-tests (Sun Apr 5 01:40:50 2009 -0700) 8 commits
+ - t/t9600: remove exit after test_done
+ - cvsimport: extend testcase about patchset order to contain
+ branches
+ - cvsimport: add test illustrating a bug in cvsps
+ - Add a test of "git cvsimport"'s handling of tags and branches
+ - Add some tests of git-cvsimport's handling of vendor branches
+ - Test contents of entire cvsimported "master" tree contents
+ - Use CVS's -f option if available (ignore user's ~/.cvsrc file)
+ - Start a library for cvsimport-related tests
+

+[Actively cooking]
+
+* tr/die_errno (Fri Jun 12 09:00:59 2009 -0700) 5 commits
+ - DONTMERGE fix double per-cent
+ - Use die_errno() instead of die() when checking syscalls
+ - Convert existing die(..., strerror(errno)) to die_errno()
+ - die_errno(): double % in strerror() output just in case
+ - Introduce die_errno() that appends strerror(errno) to die()
+
+I didn't check the individual conversion from die() to die_errno()
+in this latest round; comments?
+
+Thomas found issues in my "double per-cent hack", so this cannot be merged
+to yet until either it is fixed up, or drop the "double per-cent" attempt
+altogether.
+
+* sb/pull-rebase (Fri Jun 12 00:39:21 2009 +0200) 3 commits
+ + parse-remote: remove unused functions
+ + parse-remote: support default reflist in get_remote_merge_branch
+ + parse-remote: function to get the tracking branch to be merge
+
+It would be nice if we can fix the "currently works only for the default
+mapping" before it goes to 'master'. I looked at, but haven't queued any
+of the recent RFC updates here.
+
+* ne/futz-upload-pack (Wed Jun 10 01:50:18 2009 +0200) 1 commit
+ - Shift object enumeration out of upload-pack
+
+* ml/http (Wed May 27 23:16:03 2009 -0400) 2 commits
+ - http.c: add http.sslCertPasswordProtected option
+ - http.c: prompt for SSL client certificate password
+
+I've rewritten these two to (1) move the #ifdef out of the main codepath,
+and (2) use configuration/environment to make the misfeature of always
+asking for a passphrase even a key/cert is unencrypted optional. I tried
+to be careful but extra sets of eyeballs would be nice to check the result.
+
+* mg/pushurl (Sun Jun 14 21:46:10 2009 +0200) 6 commits
+ + avoid NULL dereference on failed malloc
+ + builtin-remote: Make "remote -v" display push urls
+ + builtin-remote: Show push urls as well
+ + technical/api-remote: Describe new struct remote member pushurl
+ + t5516: Check pushurl config setting
+ + Allow push and fetch urls to be different
+
+* cc/bisect (Sat Jun 13 13:11:02 2009 +0200) 2 commits
+ - Documentation: remove warning saying that "git bisect skip" may
+ slow bisection
+ - bisect: use a PRNG with a bias when skipping away from untestable
+ commits
+
+Will be in 'next' shortly.
+
+* gb/am-foreign (Wed May 27 11:25:19 2009 +0200) 4 commits
+ - git-am: refactor 'cleaning up and aborting'
+ - git-am foreign patch support: StGIT support
+ - git-am foreign patch support: autodetect some patch formats
+ - git-am foreign patch support: introduce patch_format
+
+Will be in 'next' shortly.
+
+* jc/diff-whitespace-only-status (Sat May 23 01:15:35 2009 -0700) 2 commits
+ - diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK
+ - diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace" options
+
+I am not sure if it should wait for a major version bump but this is a
+good semantics change. Perhaps merge to 'next' soonish, but I am
+undecided. Comments?
+
+* cc/replace (Wed May 27 07:14:09 2009 +0200) 14 commits
+ - t6050: check pushing something based on a replaced commit
+ - Documentation: add documentation for "git replace"
+ - Add git-replace to .gitignore
+ - builtin-replace: use "usage_msg_opt" to give better error messages
+ - parse-options: add new function "usage_msg_opt"
+ - builtin-replace: teach "git replace" to actually replace
+ - Add new "git replace" command
+ - environment: add global variable to disable replacement
+ - mktag: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
+ - replace_object: add a test case
+ - object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
+ - sha1_file: add a "read_sha1_file_repl" function
+ - replace_object: add mechanism to replace objects found in
+ "refs/replace/"
+ - refs: add a "for_each_replace_ref" function
+

+
+* jc/refuse-push-to-current-1.7.0 (Wed Feb 11 02:28:03 2009 -0800) 1 commit
+ - Refuse updating the current branch in a non-bare repository via
+ push
+
+These are for 1.7.0, but the messages when they trigger together may need
+to be rethought.
