[New Topics]
-* jk/rebase-quiet-noop (2015-04-28) 1 commit
- - rebase: silence "git checkout" for noop rebase
-
- "git rebase --quiet" was not quite quiet when there is nothing to
- do.
+* mh/ref-directory-file (2015-05-03) 18 commits
+ - reflog_expire(): integrate lock_ref_sha1_basic() errors into ours
+ - ref_transaction_commit(): delete extra "the" from error message
+ - ref_transaction_commit(): provide better error messages
+ - rename_ref(): integrate lock_ref_sha1_basic() errors into ours
+ - lock_ref_sha1_basic(): improve diagnostics for D/F conflicts
+ - lock_ref_sha1_basic(): report errors via a "struct strbuf *err"
+ - verify_refname_available(): report errors via a "struct strbuf *err"
+ - verify_refname_available(): rename function
+ - refs: check for D/F conflicts among refs processed in a transaction
+ - ref_transaction_commit(): use a string_list for detecting duplicates
+ - is_refname_available(): use dirname in first loop
+ - struct nonmatching_ref_data: store a refname instead of a ref_entry
+ - report_refname_conflict(): inline function
+ - entry_matches(): inline function
+ - is_refname_available(): convert local variable "dirname" to strbuf
+ - is_refname_available(): avoid shadowing "dir" variable
+ - is_refname_available(): explain the reason for an early exit
+ - t1404: new tests of D/F conflicts within ref transactions
+ (this branch uses mh/ref-lock-avoid-running-out-of-fds.)
+
+ Somehow this does not seem to pass its own test.
+
+
+* nd/dwim-wildcards-as-pathspecs (2015-05-03) 1 commit
+ - pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is used
+
+ A heuristic to help the "git <cmd> <revs> <pathspec>" command line
+ convention to catch mistyped paths is to make sure all the non-rev
+ parameters in the later part of the command line are names of the
+ files in the working tree, but that means "git grep $str -- \*.c"
+ must always be disambiguated with "--", because nobody sane will
+ create a file whose name literally is asterisk-dot-see. Loosen the
+ heuristic to declare that with a wildcard string the user likely
+ meant to give us a pathspec.
Will merge to 'next'.
-* ld/p4-case-fold (2015-04-28) 1 commit
- - git-p4: add failing tests for case-folding p4d
+* pt/pull-tests (2015-05-03) 7 commits
+ - t5521: test --dry-run does not make any changes
+ - t5520: test --rebase failure on unborn branch with index
+ - t5520: test --rebase with multiple branches
+ - t5520: test work tree fast-forward when fetch updates head
+ - t5520: test for failure if index has unresolved entries
+ - t5520: implement tests for no merge candidates cases
+ - t5520: test pulling multiple branches into an empty repository
+
+ Add more test coverage to "git pull". This conflicts slightly with
+ a new test jc/merge topic adds, but resolution is fairly trivial.
Will merge to 'next'.
-* va/fix-git-p4-tests (2015-04-28) 1 commit
- - git-p4: t9814: prevent --chain-lint failure
+* sg/complete-decorate-full-not-long (2015-05-03) 1 commit
+ - completion: fix and update 'git log --decorate=' options
+
+ The completion for "log --decorate=" parameter value was incorrect.
Will merge to 'next'.
-* jk/filter-branch-use-of-sed-on-incomplete-line (2015-04-29) 1 commit
- - filter-branch: avoid passing commit message through sed
-
- "filter-branch" was broken by some "sed" implementations that
- corrupt commit log message that ends with an incomplete line.
- Work it around by avoiding to use "sed".
+* sg/completion-no-redundant-all-command-list (2015-05-03) 1 commit
+ - completion: remove redundant __git_compute_all_commands() call
Will merge to 'next'.
-* ph/rebase-i-redo (2015-04-29) 1 commit
- - rebase -i: redo tasks that die during cherry-pick
+* jc/hash-object (2015-05-04) 4 commits
+ - write_sha1_file(): do not use a separate sha1[] array
+ - t1007: add hash-object --literally tests
+ - write_sha1_file_prepare: fix buffer overrun with extra-long object type
+ - git-hash-object.txt: document --literally option
- "git rebase -i" moved the "current" command from "todo" to "done" a
- bit too prematurely, losing a step when a "pick" did not even start.
+ "hash-object --literally" introduced in v2.2 days was not prepared
+ to take a really long object type name.
Will merge to 'next'.
-* ep/do-not-feed-a-pointer-to-array-size (2015-04-30) 2 commits
- - SQUASH???
- - git-compat-util.h: implement a different ARRAY_SIZE macro for for safely deriving the size of array
+* jn/clean-use-error-not-fprintf-on-stderr (2015-05-04) 1 commit
+ - config: use error() instead of fprintf(stderr, ...)
- Catch programmer mistake to feed a pointer not an array to
- ARRAY_SIZE() macro, by using a couple of GCC extensions.
+ Some error messages in "git config" were emitted without calling
+ the usual error() facility.
+ Will merge to 'next'.
-* tb/blame-resurrect-convert-to-git (2015-04-30) 1 commit
- - blame: CRLF in the working tree and LF in the repo
- Some time ago, "git blame" (incorrectly) lost the convert_to_git()
- call when synthesizing a fake "tip" commit that represents the
- state in the working tree, which broke folks who record the history
- with LF line ending to make their project portabile across
- platforms while terminating lines in their working tree files with
- CRLF for their platform.
+* jc/clone-bundle (2015-04-30) 1 commit
+ - repack: optionally create a clone.bundle
- Will merge to 'next'.
+ Still an early WIP

- update-ref: test handling large transactions properly
- (this branch is tangled with sb/ref-lock-avoid-running-out-of-fds.)
+ (this branch is used by mh/ref-directory-file.)
"git update-ref --stdin" was converted to be "transactional" some
time ago, but the ref transaction machinery was not prepared to
limit. Fix the ref_transaction_commit() code not to keep the file
descriptors open unnecessarily.
- We would probably want to apply the fix to older codebase, but this
- fix is unfortunately done to apply only on v2.4.x track.
