Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.
I am planning to tag 1.9-rc0 preview release from the tip of
'master' soonish. Hopefully a few fix-up topics still in flight and
also updates to git-gui, gitk, git-svn, i18n, etc. from respective
area maintainers can be merged by the time 1.9-rc1 will be tagged.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

--------------------------------------------------
[Graduated to "master"]
* br/sha1-name-40-hex-no-disambiguation (2014-01-07) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-10 at 2a0973b)
+ sha1_name: don't resolve refs when core.warnambiguousrefs is false
(this branch is used by jk/warn-on-object-refname-ambiguity.)
When parsing a 40-hex string into the object name, the string is
checked to see if it can be interpreted as a ref so that a warning
can be given for ambiguity. The code kicked in even when the
core.warnambiguousrefs is set to false to squelch this warning, in
which case the cycles spent to look at the ref namespace were an
expensive no-op, as the result was discarded without being used.
* jk/pull-rebase-using-fork-point (2014-01-09) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-10 at e86e59d)
+ rebase: fix fork-point with zero arguments
* jl/submodule-mv-checkout-caveat (2014-01-07) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-10 at 8d3953c)
+ rm: better document side effects when removing a submodule
+ mv: better document side effects when moving a submodule
With a submodule that was initialized in an old fashioned way
without gitlinks, switching branches in the superproject between
the one with and without the submodule may leave the submodule
working tree with its embedded repository behind, as there may be
unexpendable state there. Document and warn users about this.
* jn/pager-lv-default-env (2014-01-07) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-10 at 22d4755)
+ pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
Just like we give a reasonable default for "less" via the LESS
environment variable, specify a reasonable default for "lv" via the
"LV" environment variable when spawning the pager.
* mh/shorten-unambigous-ref (2014-01-09) 3 commits
+ shorten_unambiguous_ref(): tighten up pointer arithmetic
+ gen_scanf_fmt(): delete function and use snprintf() instead
+ shorten_unambiguous_ref(): introduce a new local variable
* mm/mv-file-to-no-such-dir-with-slash (2014-01-10) 1 commit
+ mv: let 'git mv file no-such-dir/' error out on Windows, too
Finishing touches to a topic that has already been merged to 'master'.
* ow/stash-with-ifs (2014-01-07) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-10 at 4fc9bdb)
+ stash: handle specifying stashes with $IFS
The implementation of 'git stash $cmd "stash@{...}"' did not quote
the stash argument properly and left it split at IFS whitespace.
* rr/completion-format-coverletter (2014-01-07) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-10 at d2dbc9d)
+ completion: complete format.coverLetter
The bash/zsh completion code did not know about format.coverLetter
among many format.* configuration variables.
--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]
* ab/subtree-doc (2014-01-13) 1 commit
- subtree: fix argument validation in add/pull/push
Will merge to 'next'.
* jk/complete-merge-base (2014-01-13) 2 commits
- completion: handle --[no-]fork-point options to git-rebase
- completion: complete merge-base options
Will merge to 'next'.
* po/everyday-doc (2014-01-13) 1 commit
- Make 'git help everyday' work
* 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 stressed too much on one hook,
prepare-commit-msg, but it would equally apply to other hooks like
post-merge, I think.
Waiting to give a chance to reroll.
* bl/blame-full-history (2014-01-14) 1 commit
- blame: new option --prefer-first to better handle merged cherry-picks
* da/pull-ff-configuration (2014-01-15) 2 commits
- pull: add --ff-only to the help text
- pull: add pull.ff configuration
Will merge to 'next'.
* jc/maint-pull-docfix (2014-01-14) 2 commits
- Documentation: "git pull" does not have the "-m" option
- Merge branch 'jc/maint-pull-docfix-for-409b8d82' into jc/maint-pull-docfix
(this branch uses jc/maint-pull-docfix-for-409b8d82.)
Will merge to 'next'.
* jc/maint-pull-docfix-for-409b8d82 (2014-01-14) 1 commit
- Documentation: exclude irrelevant options from "git pull"
(this branch is used by jc/maint-pull-docfix.)
Will merge to 'next'.
* jc/revision-range-unpeel (2014-01-15) 2 commits
- revision: propagate flag bits from tags to pointees
- revision: mark contents of an uninteresting tree uninteresting
"git log --left-right A...B" lost the "leftness" of commits
reachable from A when A is a tag as a side effect of a recent
bugfix. This is a regression in 1.8.4.x series.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jk/allow-fetch-onelevel-refname (2014-01-15) 1 commit
- fetch-pack: do not filter out one-level refs
"git clone" would fail to clone from a repository that has a ref
directly under "refs/", e.g. "refs/stash", because different
validation paths do different things on such a refname. Loosen the
client side's validation to allow such a ref.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jk/interpret-branch-name-fix (2014-01-15) 5 commits
- interpret_branch_name: find all possible @-marks
- interpret_branch_name: avoid @{upstream} past colon
- interpret_branch_name: always respect "namelen" parameter
- interpret_branch_name: rename "cp" variable to "at"
- interpret_branch_name: factor out upstream handling
Fix a handful of bugs around interpreting $branch@{upstream}
notation and its lookalike, when $branch part has interesting
characters, e.g. "@", and ":".
Will merge to 'next'.
* mh/attr-macro-doc (2014-01-14) 1 commit
- gitattributes: document more clearly where macros are allowed
Will merge to 'next'.
* mh/retire-ref-fetch-rules (2014-01-14) 1 commit
- refname_match(): always use the rules in ref_rev_parse_rules
Code simplification.
Will merge to 'next'.
--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]
* jc/graph-post-root-gap (2013-12-30) 3 commits
- WIP: document what we want at the end
- graph: remove unused code a bit
- graph: stuff the current commit into graph->columns[]
This was primarily a RFH ($gmane/239580).
* fc/transport-helper-fixes (2013-12-09) 6 commits
- remote-bzr: support the new 'force' option
- test-hg.sh: tests are now expected to pass
- transport-helper: check for 'forced update' message
- transport-helper: add 'force' to 'export' helpers
- transport-helper: don't update refs in dry-run
- transport-helper: mismerge fix
Updates transport-helper, fast-import and fast-export to allow the
ref mapping and ref deletion in a way similar to the natively
supported transports.
Reported to break t5541.
Will hold.
* fc/completion (2013-12-09) 1 commit
- completion: fix completion of certain aliases
SZEDER Gábor noticed that this breaks "git -c var=val alias" and
also suggested a better description of the change.
Will hold.
* mo/subtree-split-updates (2013-12-10) 3 commits
- subtree: add --edit option
- subtree: allow --squash and --message with push
- subtree: support split --rejoin --squash
Comments?
* hv/submodule-ignore-fix (2013-12-06) 4 commits
- disable complete ignorance of submodules for index <-> HEAD diff
- always show committed submodules in summary after commit
- teach add -f option for ignored submodules
- fix 'git add' to skip submodules configured as ignored
Teach "git add" to be consistent with "git status" when changes to
submodules are set to be ignored, to avoid surprises after checking
with "git status" to see there isn't any change to be further added
and then see that "git add ." adds changes to them.
I think a reroll is coming, so this may need to be replaced, but I
needed some practice with heavy conflict resolution. It conflicts
with two changes to "git add" that have been scheduled for Git 2.0
quite badly, and I think I got the resolution right this time.
* kb/fast-hashmap (2014-01-03) 19 commits
- hashmap.h: make sure map entries are tightly packed
(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-03 at dc85001)
+ name-hash: retire unused index_name_exists()
+ hashmap.h: Use 'unsigned int' for hash-codes everywhere
(merged to 'next' on 2013-12-16 at bff99b1)
+ Drop unnecessary #includes from test-hashmap
+ Add test-hashmap to .gitignore
(merged to 'next' on 2013-12-06 at f90be3d)
+ read-cache.c: fix memory leaks caused by removed cache entries
+ builtin/update-index.c: cleanup update_one
+ fix 'git update-index --verbose --again' output
+ remove old hash.[ch] implementation
+ name-hash.c: remove cache entries instead of marking them CE_UNHASHED
+ name-hash.c: use new hash map implementation for cache entries
+ name-hash.c: remove unreferenced directory entries
+ name-hash.c: use new hash map implementation for directories
+ diffcore-rename.c: use new hash map implementation
+ diffcore-rename.c: simplify finding exact renames
+ diffcore-rename.c: move code around to prepare for the next patch
+ buitin/describe.c: use new hash map implementation
+ add a hashtable implementation that supports O(1) removal
+ submodule: don't access the .gitmodules cache entry after removing it
Improvements to our hash table to get it to meet the needs of the
msysgit fscache project, with some nice performance improvements.
The tip one does not seem to have reached concensus (yet).
* jc/create-directories-microopt (2013-11-11) 1 commit
- checkout: most of the time we have good leading directories
Of unknown value until tested on non-Linux platforms (especially
Windows).
Will hold.
* jt/commit-fixes-footer (2013-10-30) 1 commit
- commit: Add -f, --fixes <commit> option to add Fixes: line
There is an ongoing discussion around this topic; in general I am
fairly negative on a new feature that is too narrow and prefer a
more generic solution that can be tailored for specific needs, as
many people stated in the thread.
It appears that the discussion stalled.
* np/pack-v4 (2013-09-18) 90 commits
. packv4-parse.c: add tree offset caching
. t1050: replace one instance of show-index with verify-pack
. index-pack, pack-objects: allow creating .idx v2 with .pack v4
. unpack-objects: decode v4 trees
. unpack-objects: allow to save processed bytes to a buffer
- ...
Nico and Duy advancing the eternal vaporware pack-v4. This is here
primarily for wider distribution of the preview edition.
Temporarily ejected from 'pu', to try out jk/pack-bitmap, which
this topic conflicts with.
* mf/graph-show-root (2013-10-25) 1 commit
. graph.c: mark root commit differently
In a repository with multiple-roots, "log --graph", especially with
"--oneline", does not give the reader enough visual cue to see
where one line of history ended and a separate history began.
This is the version that marks the roots 'x' when they would have
been marked as '*'; Keshav Kini suggested an alternative of giving
an extra blank line after every root, which I tend to think is a
better approach to the problem.
* 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.
Holding until needed.
* yt/shortened-rename (2013-10-18) 2 commits
- SQUASH??? style fixes and s/omit/shorten/ where appropriate
- diff.c: keep arrow(=>) on show_stats()'s shortened filename part to make
rename visible
Attempts to give more weight on the fact that a filepair represents
a rename than showing substring of the actual path when diffstat
lines are not wide enough.
I am not sure if that is solving a right problem, though.
* rv/send-email-cache-generated-mid (2013-08-21) 2 commits
- git-send-email: Cache generated message-ids, use them when prompting
- git-send-email: add optional 'choices' parameter to the ask sub
* rj/read-default-config-in-show-ref-pack-refs (2013-06-17) 3 commits
- ### DONTMERGE: needs better explanation on what config they need
- pack-refs.c: Add missing call to git_config()
- show-ref.c: Add missing call to git_config()
The changes themselves are probably good, but it is unclear what
basic setting needs to be read for which exact operation.
Waiting for clarification.
$gmane/228294
* jc/format-patch (2013-04-22) 2 commits
- format-patch: --inline-single
- format-patch: rename "no_inline" field
A new option to send a single patch to the standard output to be
appended at the bottom of a message. I personally have no need for
this, but it was easy enough to cobble together. Tests, docs and
stripping out more MIMEy stuff are left as exercises to interested
parties.
* jk/gitweb-utf8 (2013-04-08) 4 commits
- gitweb: Fix broken blob action parameters on blob/commitdiff pages
- gitweb: Don't append ';js=(0|1)' to external links
- gitweb: Make feed title valid utf8
- gitweb: Fix utf8 encoding for blob_plain, blobdiff_plain, commitdiff_plain,
and patch
Various fixes to gitweb.
Drew Northup volunteered to take a look into this.
$gmane/226216
* jc/show-branch (2013-06-07) 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.

[Cooking]
* wk/submodule-on-branch (2014-01-16) 6 commits
- Documentation: Describe 'submodule update' modes in detail
- t7406: Add explicit tests for head attachement after cloning updates
- [DONOTMERGE] t7406: Just-cloned checkouts update to the gitlinked hash with
'reset'
- submodule: Explicit local branch creation in module_clone
- submodule: Document module_clone arguments in comments
- submodule: Make 'checkout' update_module explicit
(this branch uses fp/submodule-checkout-mode.)
Makes sure 'submodule update' modes that do not detach HEADs can
be used more pleasantly by checking out a concrete branch when
cloning them to prime the well.
This round seems to be almost ready; further discussions are of
course very much welcomed.
Will wait for another reroll to fix minor nits, at least.
* jk/branch-at-publish (2014-01-13) 6 commits
- t1507 (rev-parse-upstream): fix typo in test title
- implement @{publish} shorthand
- branch_get: provide per-branch pushremote pointers
- branch_get: return early on error
- interpret_branch_name: factor out upstream handling
- sha1_name: refactor upstream_mark
Give an easier access to the tracking branches from "other" side in
a triangular workflow by introducing B@{publish} that works in a
similar way to how B@{upstream} does.
Will rebase to share the same change with the
jk/interpret-branch-name-fix topic.
* jk/warn-on-object-refname-ambiguity (2014-01-09) 6 commits
- get_sha1: drop object/refname ambiguity flag
- get_sha1: speed up ambiguous 40-hex test
- FIXUP: teach DO_FOR_EACH_NO_RECURSE to prime_ref_dir()
- refs: teach for_each_ref a flag to avoid recursion
- cat-file: fix a minor memory leak in batch_objects
- cat-file: refactor error handling of batch_objects
Expecting a reroll.
* ap/remote-hg-skip-null-bookmarks (2014-01-02) 1 commit

Reported to break tests ($gmane/240005)
Expecting a reroll.
* ss/safe-create-leading-dir-with-slash (2014-01-06) 1 commit
- safe_create_leading_directories(): on Windows, \ can separate path components
Expecting to be rolled into mh/safe-create-leading-directories
* fp/submodule-checkout-mode (2014-01-07) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-10 at 647ba9b)
+ git-submodule.sh: 'checkout' is a valid update mode
(this branch is used by wk/submodule-on-branch.)
"submodule.*.update=checkout", when propagated from .gitmodules to
.git/config, turned into a "submodule.*.update=none", which did not
make much sense.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jl/submodule-recursive-checkout (2013-12-26) 5 commits
- Teach checkout to recursively checkout submodules
- submodule: teach unpack_trees() to update submodules
- submodule: teach unpack_trees() to repopulate submodules
- submodule: teach unpack_trees() to remove submodule contents
- submodule: prepare for recursive checkout of submodules
Expecting a reroll.

- remove_dir_recurse(): tighten condition for removing unreadable dir
- lock_ref_sha1_basic(): if locking fails with ENOENT, retry
- lock_ref_sha1_basic(): on SCLD_VANISHED, retry
- safe_create_leading_directories(): add new error value SCLD_VANISHED
- cmd_init_db(): when creating directories, handle errors conservatively
- safe_create_leading_directories(): introduce enum for return values
- safe_create_leading_directories(): always restore slash at end of loop
- safe_create_leading_directories(): split on first of multiple slashes
- safe_create_leading_directories(): rename local variable
- safe_create_leading_directories(): add explicit "slash" pointer
- safe_create_leading_directories(): reduce scope of local variable
- safe_create_leading_directories(): fix format of "if" chaining
Code clean-up and protection against concurrent write access to the
ref namespace.
Asked Michael and Sebastian to work together to roll the latter's
"allow passing p\a\t\h to safe_create_leading_dir()" into this.
Expecting a reroll.
* jk/pack-bitmap (2013-12-30) 21 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-10 at bdbe0a4)
+ pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cache
+ t/perf: add tests for pack bitmaps
+ t: add basic bitmap functionality tests
+ count-objects: recognize .bitmap in garbage-checking
+ repack: consider bitmaps when performing repacks
+ repack: handle optional files created by pack-objects
+ repack: turn exts array into array-of-struct
+ repack: stop using magic number for ARRAY_SIZE(exts)
+ pack-objects: implement bitmap writing
+ rev-list: add bitmap mode to speed up object lists
+ pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects
+ pack-objects: split add_object_entry
+ pack-bitmap: add support for bitmap indexes
+ documentation: add documentation for the bitmap format
+ ewah: compressed bitmap implementation

+ sha1_file: export `git_open_noatime`
+ revision: allow setting custom limiter function
+ pack-objects: factor out name_hash
+ pack-objects: refactor the packing list
+ revindex: export new APIs
Borrows the bitmap index into packfiles from JGit to speed up
enumeration of objects involved in a commit range without having to
fully traverse the history.
Will cook in 'next'.
* nv/commit-gpgsign-config (2013-12-17) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-03 at 9780cbb)
+ test the commit.gpgsign config option
+ commit-tree: add and document --no-gpg-sign
+ Add the commit.gpgsign option to sign all commits
Introduce commit.gpgsign configuration variable to force every
commit to be GPG signed. The variable cannot be overriden from the
command line of some of the commands that create commits except for
"git commit" and "git commit-tree", but I am not convinced that it
is a good idea to sprinkle support for --no-gpg-sign everywhere.
Will cook in 'next'.
* nd/shallow-clone (2014-01-09) 31 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-09 at 6608634)
+ t5537: fix incorrect expectation in test case 10
(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-06 at 3dc7fab)
+ shallow: remove unused code
+ send-pack.c: mark a file-local function static
(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-03 at a776065)
+ git-clone.txt: remove shallow clone limitations
+ prune: clean .git/shallow after pruning objects
+ clone: use git protocol for cloning shallow repo locally
+ send-pack: support pushing from a shallow clone via http
+ receive-pack: support pushing to a shallow clone via http
+ smart-http: support shallow fetch/clone
+ remote-curl: pass ref SHA-1 to fetch-pack as well
+ send-pack: support pushing to a shallow clone
+ receive-pack: allow pushes that update .git/shallow
+ connected.c: add new variant that runs with --shallow-file
+ add GIT_SHALLOW_FILE to propagate --shallow-file to subprocesses
+ receive/send-pack: support pushing from a shallow clone
+ receive-pack: reorder some code in unpack()
+ fetch: add --update-shallow to accept refs that update .git/shallow
+ upload-pack: make sure deepening preserves shallow roots
+ fetch: support fetching from a shallow repository
+ clone: support remote shallow repository
+ fetch-pack.h: one statement per bitfield declaration
+ fetch-pack.c: move shallow update code out of fetch_pack()
+ shallow.c: steps 6 and 7 to select new commits for .git/shallow
+ shallow.c: the 8 steps to select new commits for .git/shallow
+ shallow.c: extend setup_*_shallow() to accept extra shallow commits
+ connect.c: teach get_remote_heads to parse "shallow" lines
+ make the sender advertise shallow commits to the receiver
+ clone: prevent --reference to a shallow repository
+ send-pack: forbid pushing from a shallow repository
+ remote.h: replace struct extra_have_objects with struct sha1_array
+ transport.h: remove send_pack prototype, already defined in send-pack.h
Fetching from a shallow-cloned repository used to be forbidden,
primarily because the codepaths involved were not carefully vetted
and we did not bother supporting such usage. This attempts to allow
object transfer out of a shallow-cloned repository in a controlled
way (i.e. the receiver become a shallow repository with truncated
history).
Will merge to 'master'.

(merged to 'next' on 2014-01-07 at 4cdf8d0)
+ strbuf: remove prefixcmp() and suffixcmp()
Endgame for the cc/starts-n-ends-with topic; this needs to be
evil-merged with other topics that introduce new uses of
prefix/suffix-cmp functions.
Will cook in 'next' until Git 2.0.

(merged to 'next' on 2013-12-06 at 574b18a)
+ push: switch default from "matching" to "simple"
Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-11-21
Explain 'simple' and 'matching' in "git push" advice message; the
topmost patch is a rebase of jc/push-2.0-default-to-simple on top
of it.
Will cook in 'next' until Git 2.0.

Updated endgame for "git add <pathspec>" that defaults to "--all"
aka "--no-ignore-removal".
Will cook in 'next' until Git 2.0.
