Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.
Fifth batch of topics have been merged to 'master', including both
fixes and enhancements. First maintenance release for v2.3 was cut
with many fixes that have already been merged to 'master'.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

[Graduated to "master"]
* ak/git-pm-typofix (2015-02-18) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-20 at 0fa233a)
+ Git.pm: two minor typo fixes
Typofix in comments.
* dp/remove-duplicated-header-inclusion (2015-02-13) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at a1bf108)
+ do not include the same header twice
Code clean-up.
* jc/max-io-size-and-ssize-max (2015-02-12) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at 0c8a4da)
+ xread/xwrite: clip MAX_IO_SIZE to SSIZE_MAX
Our default I/O size (8 MiB) for large files was too large for some
platforms with smaller SSIZE_MAX, leading to read(2)/write(2)
failures.
* jc/send-email-sensible-encoding (2015-02-13) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at 7457655)
+ send-email: ask confirmation if given encoding name is very short
"git send-email" used to accept a mistaken "y" (or "yes") as an
answer to "What encoding do you want to use [UTF-8]? " without
questioning. Now it asks for confirmation when the answer looks
too short to be a valid encoding name.
* jk/fast-import-die-nicely-fix (2015-02-10) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at e249425)
+ fast-import: avoid running end_packfile recursively
"git fast-import" used to crash when it could not close and
conclude the resulting packfile cleanly.
* jk/sanity (2015-02-15) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at 5c54b53)
+ test-lib.sh: set prerequisite SANITY by testing what we really need
+ tests: correct misuses of POSIXPERM
+ t/lib-httpd: switch SANITY check for NOT_ROOT
The tests that wanted to see that file becomes unreadable after
running "chmod a-r file", and the tests that wanted to make sure it
is not run as root, we used "can we write into the / directory?" as
a cheap substitute, but on some platforms that is not a good
heuristics. The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to
check what they really require.
* jk/strbuf-doc-to-header (2015-01-16) 7 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at 0482c65)
+ strbuf.h: group documentation for trim functions
+ strbuf.h: drop boilerplate descriptions of strbuf_split_*
+ strbuf.h: reorganize api function grouping headers
+ strbuf.h: format asciidoc code blocks as 4-space indent
+ strbuf.h: drop asciidoc list formatting from API docs
+ strbuf.h: unify documentation comments beginnings
+ strbuf.h: integrate api-strbuf.txt documentation
The strbuf API was explained between the API documentation and in
the header file. Move missing bits to strbuf.h so that programmers
can check only one place for all necessary information.
* jn/doc-api-errors (2014-12-04) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at f60eda6)
+ doc: document error handling functions and conventions
The error handling functions and conventions are now documented in
the API manual.
* mh/transport-capabilities (2015-02-13) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at 87e8fcc)
+ transport-helper: ask the helper to set the same options for import as for
fetch
+ transport-helper: ask the helper to set progress and verbosity options after
asking for its capabilities
The transport-helper did not give transport options such as
verbosity, progress, cloning, etc. to import and export based
helpers, like it did for fetch and push based helpers, robbing them
the chance to honor the wish of the end-users better.
* nd/attr-optim (2014-12-29) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at 598e68a)
+ attr: avoid heavy work when we know the specified attr is not defined
+ attr: do not attempt to expand when we know it's not a macro
+ attr.c: rename arg name attr_nr to avoid shadowing the global one
Optimize attribute look-up, mostly useful in "git grep" on a
project that does not use many attributes, by avoiding it when we
(should) know that the attributes are not defined in the first
place.
* sb/hex-object-name-is-at-most-41-bytes-long (2015-02-13) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at 53d522b)
+ hex.c: reduce memory footprint of sha1_to_hex static buffers
Code clean-up.
* sb/plug-leak-in-make-cache-entry (2015-02-17) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at e637f65)
+ read-cache.c: free cache entry when refreshing fails
"update-index --refresh" used to leak when an entry cannot be
refreshed for whatever reason.
* tc/missing-http-proxyauth (2015-02-03) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at 8ff01ad)
+ http: support curl < 7.10.7
We did not check the curl library version before using
CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH feature that may not exist.
--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]
* mg/detached-head-report (2015-02-23) 1 commit
- branch: name detached HEAD analogous to status
"git branch" on a detached HEAD always said "(detached from xyz)",
even when "git status" would report "detached at xyz". The HEAD is
actually at xyz and haven't been moved since it was detached in
such a case, but the user cannot read what the current value of
HEAD is when "detached from" is used.
The goal is sound. May want to share code between branch and
status in a reroll? Are there other commands that give the same
information that share the code, too?
* mg/sequencer-commit-messages-always-verbatim (2015-02-23) 1 commit
- sequencer: preserve commit messages
Always replay the original commit message verbatim, regardless of
the commit.cleanup configuration settings by the user.
Is this a good idea?
* rj/no-xopen-source-for-cygwin (2015-02-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-23 at 323ac75)
+ git-compat-util.h: remove redundant code
Will merge to 'master'.

Waiting for Ack and/or update for the tip one from Dave Olszewski
($gmane/263880, $gmane/263991).

Need extra sets of eyes to review this.
* ak/stash-store-create-help (2015-01-13) 1 commit
- stash: show "create" and "store" subcommands in usage-help
Will discard.
* bp/diff-relative-config (2015-01-07) 2 commits
- diff: teach diff.relative to give default to --relative=<value>
- diff: teach --no-relative to override earlier --relative
No comments? No interests?
* jc/diff-b-m (2015-02-23) 5 commits
. WIPWIP
. WIP: diff-b-m
- diffcore-rename: allow easier debugging
- diffcore-rename.c: add locate_rename_src()
- diffcore-break: allow debugging
(this branch uses jc/diff-test-updates.)
"git diff -B -M" produced incorrect patch when the postimage of a
completely rewritten file is similar to the preimage of a removed
file; such a resulting file must not be expressed as a rename from
other place.
The fix in this patch is broken, unfortunately.
* nd/slim-index-pack-memory-usage (2015-02-10) 3 commits
- index-pack: kill union delta_base to save memory
- FIXUP
- index-pack: reduce memory footprint a bit
Need to replace with the reroll ($gmane/264126).
* pw/remote-set-url-fetch (2014-11-26) 1 commit
- remote: add --fetch and --both options to set-url
Expecting a reroll.
* je/quiltimport-no-fuzz (2014-10-21) 2 commits
- git-quiltimport: flip the default not to allow fuzz
- git-quiltimport.sh: allow declining fuzz with --exact option
"quiltimport" drove "git apply" always with -C1 option to reduce
context of the patch in order to give more chance to somewhat stale
patches to apply. Add an "--exact" option to disable, and also
"-C$n" option to customize this behaviour. The top patch
optionally flips the default to "--exact".
Tired of waiting for an Ack
Will discard.
* tr/remerge-diff (2014-11-10) 9 commits
- t4213: avoid "|" in sed regexp
- log --remerge-diff: show what the conflict resolution changed
- name-hash: allow dir hashing even when !ignore_case
- merge-recursive: allow storing conflict hunks in index
- merge_diff_mode: fold all merge diff variants into an enum
- combine-diff: do not pass revs->dense_combined_merges redundantly
- merge-recursive: -Xindex-only to leave worktree unchanged
- merge-recursive: internal flag to avoid touching the worktree
- merge-recursive: remove dead conditional in update_stages()
"log -p" output learns a new way to let users inspect a merge
commit by showing the differences between the automerged result
with conflicts the person who recorded the merge would have seen
and the final conflict resolution that was recorded in the merge.
Waiting for a reroll ($gmane/256591).
* hv/submodule-config (2014-11-11) 4 commits
- do not die on error of parsing fetchrecursesubmodules option
- use new config API for worktree configurations of submodules
- extract functions for submodule config set and lookup
- implement submodule config cache for lookup of submodule names
Kicked back to 'pu' per request ($gmane/255610).
* ab/add-interactive-show-diff-func-name (2014-05-12) 2 commits
- SQUASH??? git-add--interactive: Preserve diff heading when splitting hunks
- git-add--interactive: Preserve diff heading when splitting hunks
Waiting for a reroll.
* jn/gitweb-utf8-in-links (2014-05-27) 1 commit
- gitweb: Harden UTF-8 handling in generated links
$gmane/250758?
* ss/userdiff-update-csharp-java (2014-06-02) 2 commits
- userdiff: support Java try keyword
- userdiff: support C# async methods and correct C# keywords
Reviews sent; waiting for a response.
* bg/rebase-off-of-previous-branch (2014-04-16) 1 commit
- git-rebase: print name of rev when using shorthand
Teach "git rebase -" to report the concrete name of the branch
(i.e. the previous one).
But it stops short and does not do the same for "git rebase @{-1}".
Expecting a reroll.
* rb/merge-prepare-commit-msg-hook (2014-01-10) 4 commits
- merge: drop unused arg from abort_commit method signature
- merge: make prepare_to_commit responsible for write_merge_state
- t7505: ensure cleanup after hook blocks merge
- t7505: add missing &&
Expose more merge states (e.g. $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MODE) to hooks that
run during "git merge". The log message stresses too much on one
hook, prepare-commit-msg, but it would equally apply to other hooks
like post-merge, I think.
Waiting for a reroll.
* jc/graph-post-root-gap (2013-12-30) 3 commits
- WIP: document what we want at the end
- graph: remove unused code a bit
- graph: stuff the current commit into graph->columns[]
This was primarily a RFH ($gmane/239580).
* tg/perf-lib-test-perf-cleanup (2013-09-19) 2 commits
- perf-lib: add test_perf_cleanup target
- perf-lib: split starting the test from the execution
Add test_perf_cleanup shell function to the perf suite, that allows
the script writers to define a test with a clean-up action.
Will hold.
* jc/show-branch (2014-03-24) 5 commits
- show-branch: use commit slab to represent bitflags of arbitrary width
- show-branch.c: remove "all_mask"
- show-branch.c: abstract out "flags" operation
- show-branch.c: lift all_mask/all_revs to a global static
- show-branch.c: update comment style
Waiting for the final step to lift the hard-limit before sending it out.

whistles.
* mm/am-c-doc (2015-02-20) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-23 at 1cd9b0f)
+ Documentation/git-am.txt: mention mailinfo.scissors config variable
+ Documentation/config.txt: document mailinfo.scissors
The configuration variable 'mailinfo.scissors' was hard to
discover in the documentation.
Will merge to 'master'.
* rs/simple-cleanups (2015-02-22) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-23 at a89f034)
+ sha1_name: use strlcpy() to copy strings
+ pretty: use starts_with() to check for a prefix
+ for-each-ref: use skip_prefix() to avoid duplicate string comparison
+ connect: use strcmp() for string comparison
Will merge to 'master'.
* tb/connect-ipv6-parse-fix (2015-02-22) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-24 at 6658564)
+ t5500: show user name and host in diag-url
+ t5601: add more test cases for IPV6
+ connect.c: allow ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]/repo.git
We did not parse username followed by literal IPv6 address in SSH
transport URLs, e.g. ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:22/repo.git
correctly.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jc/decorate-leaky-separator-color (2015-02-20) 2 commits
- config.txt: spell out how certain typed values are written
- log --decorate: do not leak "commit" color into the next item
"git log --decorate" did not reset colors correctly around the
branch names.
Waiting for discussion on the tip one.
* ms/submodule-update-config-doc (2015-02-23) 1 commit
- submodule: improve documentation of update subcommand
The interaction between "git submodule update" and the
submodule.*.update configuration was not clearly documented.
Waiting for a final reroll.
* jc/diff-test-updates (2015-02-23) 7 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-23 at 9e863a7)

+ tests: do not borrow from COPYING and README from the real source
+ t4010: correct expected object names
+ t9300: correct expected object names
+ t4008: correct stale comments
(this branch is used by jc/diff-b-m.)
Test clean-up.
Will merge to 'master'.
* km/send-email-getopt-long-workarounds (2015-02-16) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at 84c1597)
+ git-send-email.perl: support no- prefix with older GetOptions
Even though we officially haven't dropped Perl 5.8 support, the
Getopt::Long package that came with it does not support "--no-"
prefix to negate a boolean option; manually add support to help
people with older Getopt::Long package.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jk/daemon-interpolate (2015-02-17) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-20 at 21118a7)
+ daemon: sanitize incoming virtual hostname
+ t5570: test git-daemon's --interpolated-path option
+ git_connect: let user override virtual-host we send to daemon
The "interpolated-path" option of "git daemon" inserted any string
client declared on the "host=" capability request without checking.
Sanitize and limit %H and %CH to a saner and a valid DNS name.
Will merge to 'master'.
* rs/daemon-interpolate (2015-02-17) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at c0f5750)
+ daemon: use callback to build interpolated path
+ daemon: look up client-supplied hostname lazily
"git daemon" looked up the hostname even when "%CH" and "%IP"
interpolations are not requested, which was unnecessary.
Will merge to 'master'.
* mh/expire-updateref-fixes (2015-02-09) 10 commits
- reflog_expire(): lock symbolic refs themselves, not their referent
- reflog_expire(): never update a reference to null_sha1

+ refs: remove the gap in the REF_* constant values
+ refs: move REF_DELETING to refs.c
Simplify the ref transaction API around how "the ref should be
pointing at this object" is specified.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jc/apply-beyond-symlink (2015-02-10) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at 4109de1)
+ apply: do not touch a file beyond a symbolic link
+ apply: do not read from beyond a symbolic link
+ apply: do not read from the filesystem under --index
+ apply: reject input that touches outside the working area
"git apply" was not very careful about reading from, removing,
updating and creating paths outside the working tree (under
--index/--cached) or the current directory (when used as a
replacement for GNU patch).
Will merge to 'master'.
* jc/apply-ws-fix-expands-report (2015-01-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2015-02-18 at b571668)
+ apply: detect and mark whitespace errors in context lines when fixing
"git apply --whitespace=fix" fixed whitespace errors in the common
context lines but did so without reporting.
Will merge to 'master'.

- fsck: offer a function to demote fsck errors to warnings
- fsck: provide a function to parse fsck message IDs
- fsck: introduce identifiers for fsck messages
- fsck: introduce fsck options
"fsck.warnings = <list of error tokens>" I suggested turned out to
be an unpopular choice (sorry Dscho).
Expecting a reroll.
