What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2014, #07; Fri, 26)

* jc/hash-object (2014-09-11) 3 commits

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-19 at ea6ac62)

+ hash-object: add --literally option

+ hash-object: pass 'write_object' as a flag

+ hash-object: reduce file-scope statics

(this branch is used by jc/hash-object-fsck-tag.)

"hash-object" learned a new "--literally" option to hash any random

garbage into a loose object, to allow us to create a test data for

mechanisms to catch corrupt objects.

* jc/hash-object-fsck-tag (2014-09-12) 2 commits

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-19 at f14a7fe)

+ t1450: make sure fsck detects a malformed tagger line

+ Merge branch 'js/fsck-tag-validation' into HEAD

(this branch uses jc/hash-object and js/fsck-tag-validation.)

Using "hash-object --literally", test one of the new breakages

js/fsck-tag-validation topic teaches "fsck" to catch is caught.

* jc/ignore-sigpipe-while-running-hooks (2014-09-16) 1 commit

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-19 at 7abf293)

+ receive-pack: allow hooks to ignore its standard input stream

pre- and post-receive hooks are no longer required to read all

their inputs.

* jk/branch-verbose-merged (2014-09-18) 1 commit

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-23 at d940d15)

+ branch: clean up commit flags after merge-filter walk

The "--verbose" option no longer breaks "git branch --merged $it".

* jk/close-stderr-of-credential-cache-deamon (2014-09-16) 1 commit

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-19 at 51ba3be)

+ credential-cache: close stderr in daemon process

Plug fd leaks.

* jk/faster-name-conflicts (2014-09-12) 1 commit

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-19 at 34d2840)

+ refs: speed up is_refname_available

Optimize the check to see if a ref $F can be created by making sure

no existing ref has $F/ as its prefix, which especially matters in

a repository with a large number of existing refs.

* jk/prune-packed-server-info (2014-09-15) 4 commits

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-19 at 5e6c398)

+ repack: call prune_packed_objects() and update_server_info() directly

+ server-info: clean up after writing info/packs

+ make update-server-info more robust

+ prune-packed: fix minor memory leak

Code cleanup.

* jk/write-packed-refs-via-stdio (2014-09-10) 1 commit

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-19 at f1e94fb)

+ refs: write packed_refs file using stdio

Optimize the code path to write out the packed-refs file, which

especially matters in a repository with a large number of refs.

* js/fsck-tag-validation (2014-09-12) 6 commits

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-19 at 4a62182)

+ Make sure that index-pack --strict checks tag objects

+ Add regression tests for stricter tag fsck'ing

+ fsck: check tag objects' headers

+ Make sure fsck_commit_buffer() does not run out of the buffer

+ fsck_object(): allow passing object data separately from the object itself

+ Refactor type_from_string() to allow continuing after detecting an error

(this branch is used by jc/hash-object-fsck-tag.)

Teach "git fsck" to inspect the contents of annotated tag objects.

* rs/realloc-array (2014-09-18) 2 commits

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-23 at a5bb3a6)

+ use REALLOC_ARRAY for changing the allocation size of arrays

+ add macro REALLOC_ARRAY

Code cleanup.

* sb/help-unknown-command-sort-fix (2014-09-18) 1 commit

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-23 at 6ab29ed)

+ help: fix the size passed to qsort

Code cleanup.

* jc/push-cert-hmac-optim (2014-09-25) 2 commits

- receive-pack: truncate hmac early and convert only necessary bytes

- sha1_to_hex: split out "hex-format n bytes" helper and use it

(this branch uses jc/push-cert.)

This is "we could do this if we wanted to", not "we measured and it

improves performance critical codepath".

Will perhaps drop.

* je/quiltimport-no-fuzz (2014-09-26) 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".

Waiting for an Ack.

* po/everyday-doc (2014-01-27) 1 commit

- Make 'git help everyday' work

This may make the said command to emit something, but the source is

not meant to be formatted into a manual pages to begin with, and

also its contents are a bit stale. It may be a good first step in

the right direction, but needs more work to at least get the

mark-up right before public consumption.

Waiting for a reroll (thread ending at $gmane/254746)

* nd/archive-pathspec (2014-09-22) 1 commit

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-25 at 8806f93)

+ archive: support filtering paths with glob

"git archive" learned to filter what gets archived with pathspec.

Will merge to 'master'.

* rs/graph-simplify (2014-09-22) 1 commit

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-23 at 72969e2)

+ graph: simplify graph_padding_line()

Will merge to 'master'.

* rs/remote-simplify (2014-09-22) 1 commit

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-23 at 176e316)

+ remote: simplify match_name_with_pattern() using strbuf

* sb/t6031-typofix (2014-09-22) 1 commit

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-23 at aec57a9)

+ t6031-test-merge-recursive: do not forget to add file to be committed

Will merge to 'master'.

* sb/t9300-typofix (2014-09-22) 1 commit

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-23 at aa519bd)

+ t9300-fast-import: fix typo in test description

Will merge to 'master'.

* so/rebase-doc-fork-point (2014-09-22) 1 commit

Expecting a reroll ($gmane/257378).

* da/rev-parse-verify-quiet (2014-09-19) 4 commits

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-23 at 5ed184a)

+ stash: prefer --quiet over shell redirection of the standard error stream

+ refs: make rev-parse --quiet actually quiet

+ t1503: use test_must_be_empty

+ Documentation: a note about stdout for git rev-parse --verify --quiet

"rev-parse --verify --quiet $name" is meant to quietly exit with a

non-zero status when $name is not a valid object name, but still

gave error messages in some cases.

Will merge to 'master'.

* hj/pretty-naked-decoration (2014-09-18) 1 commit

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-23 at fb699c4)

+ pretty: add %D format specifier

The pretty-format specifier "%d", which expanded to " (tagname)"

for a tagged commit, gained a cousin "%D" that just gives the

"tagname" without frills.

Will merge to 'master'.

* jk/mbox-from-line (2014-09-22) 2 commits

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-23 at 506b89b)

+ mailinfo: work around -Wstring-plus-int warning

(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-19 at 314af77)

+ mailinfo: make ">From" in-body header check more robust

Some MUAs mangled a line in a message that begins with "From " to

">From " when writing to a mailbox file and feeding such an input

to "git am" used to lose such a line.

Will merge to 'master'.

* nd/multiple-work-trees (2014-09-16) 32 commits

Waiting for a reroll ($gmane/257496).
