* jc/upload-pack-hook (2009-08-28) 2 commits
- upload-pack: feed "kind [clone|fetch]" to post-upload-pack hook
- upload-pack: add a trigger for post-upload-pack hook
I do not know if the distinction between fetching some but not all refs
and fetching full set of refs into an empty repository is something worth
making, so in that sense the tip commit is somewhat iffy.
One reason this series makes me somewhat uneasy is that Tom, the original
starter of the discussion went dark after sending a proposed patch. Maybe
he has been too busy, but I have been hoping that GitHub as a stakeholder
has somebody who monitors the list when he is not available.
Does anybody from GitHub have any input? Is there something that needs to
be improved to fill GitHub's needs? Does GitHub want to stick to its own
fork, and were all these discussions for improvements unwanted?
* jk/clone-b (2009-08-26) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2009-08-30 at 10a68d1)
+ clone: add --branch option to select a different HEAD
* pk/import-dirs (2009-08-24) 1 commit
- Add script for importing bits-and-pieces to Git.
This version makes me suspect that the author might regret the choice of
the import format that does not allow escaping of paths, nor does not
allow leading blanks for readability without changing semantics, both of
which make it somewhat limiting and error prone. These issues will be
hard to rectify without breaking the backward compatibility, for a tool
that could otherwise turn out to be useful.
As a contrib/ material, I probably shouldn't be too worried about these
issues, but I am keeping this out of 'next' for now, just in case the
author chooses to polish the usability of the tool for general audience.
It is a different story if the submission was just throwing out a one-time
hack in the open in the hope that some other people might find it useful,
but without any intention of maintaining it. But then I do not have a
strong reason to keep this in my tree, either. The mailing list archive
is a more suitable storage media for such a patch.

* jh/notes (2009-08-27) 12 commits.
- Add '%N'-format for pretty-printing commit notes
- Add flags to get_commit_notes() to control the format of the note string
- notes.c: Implement simple memory pooling of leaf nodes
- Selftests verifying semantics when loading notes trees with various fanouts

- Speed up git notes lookup
- Add a script to edit/inspect notes

I heard the cvs-helper series depends on this one. It seems that the
fan-out strategy is being rethought?

There was a discussion that suggests that the use of colon ':' before vcs
helper name needs to be corrected. Nothing happened since.
We had a few messages on what the list consensus was with this series. My
impression, after going back to the archive, is that there wasn't.

+ Add support for the Mongoose web server.
The existing tests to covers the positive case (i.e. as long as the user
says "yes" to the "do you really want to send this message that lacks
subject", the message is sent) of this feature, but the feature itself
needs its own test to verify the negative case (i.e. does it correctly
stop if the user says "no"?)

* lt/approxidate (2009-08-30) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2009-08-30 at e016e3d)
+ fix approxidate parsing of relative months and years
+ tests: add date printing and parsing tests
+ refactor test-date interface
+ Add date formatting and parsing functions relative to a given time
(merged to 'next' on 2009-08-26 at 62853f9)
+ Further 'approxidate' improvements
+ Improve on 'approxidate'
Fixes a few "reasonably formatted but thus-far misparsed" date strings.
As Nico suggested, we would need a test to prevent regression to existing
support for date strings that are "reasonably formatted".
With tests by Peff, this should be ready for -rc0.
* jc/mailinfo-scissors (2009-08-25) 2 commits

+ am/mailinfo: Disable scissors processing by default
+ Documentation: describe the scissors mark support of "git am"
+ Teach mailinfo to ignore everything before -- >8 -- mark
+ builtin-mailinfo.c: fix confusing internal API to mailinfo()
I didn't pick up the patch to simplify the definition of scissors. I do
not have strong opinion on it either way, but the list would hopefully
decide it before too long.

- sequencer: add "do_fast_forward()" to perform a fast forward
- rebase -i: use "git sequencer--helper --reset-hard"
- sequencer: add "--reset-hard" option to "git sequencer--helper"
- sequencer: add comments about reset_almost_hard()
- sequencer: add "reset_almost_hard()" and related functions
- rebase -i: use "git sequencer--helper --make-patch"
- sequencer: free memory used in "make_patch" function
- sequencer: add "make_patch" function to save a patch
- sequencer: add "builtin-sequencer--helper.c"
Migrating "rebase -i" bit by bit to C. I am inclined to agree with Dscho
that maybe this approach forces the migration to follow the structure of
the shell script too much, and could force a suboptimal end result, but
we'll see.
