[ANNOUNCE] Stacked Git 0.15-rc1

Posted 5 months ago by Catalin Marinas

The first release candidate for StGit 0.15 is available from the
git://repo.or.cz/stgit.git or http://download.gna.org/stgit/. Bugs can
be reported on the Git mailing list or via the project bugs ... [More] page
(https://gna.org/bugs/?group=stgit).

StGit is a Python application providing similar functionality to Quilt
(i.e. pushing/popping patches to/from a stack) on top of Git. These
operations are performed using Git commands and the patches are stored
as Git commit objects, allowing easy merging of the StGit patches into
other repositories using standard Git functionality.

The main changes since release 0.14.3 (I may miss some important
features but they can be found in the log):

- New core infrastructure for repository operations
- Infinite undo/redo operations and corresponding commands
- Automatic reverting of changes following a failed operation (using
transactions)
- New 'squash' command for combining two or more patches into one
- New 'publish' command for maintaining merge-friendly branches (which
are not rebased)
- New patch identification format - : (see 'id' command)
- UI improvements and removal of the 'add', 'rm' and 'resolved' commands
since there are corresponding Git equivalents
- Emacs mode improvements
- Man pages and improved tutorial

Special thanks go to Karl Hasselstr [Less]

[ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.6.3.3

Posted 5 months ago by Junio C Hamano

The latest maintenance release, GIT 1.6.3.3, is available at the usual
places:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

git-1.6.3.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball)
git-htmldocs-1.6.3.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted ... [More] docs)
git-manpages-1.6.3.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs)

The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in:

RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.6.3.3-1.fc9.$arch.rpm (RPM)

GIT v1.6.3.3 Release Notes
==========================

Fixes since v1.6.3.2
--------------------

* "git archive" running on Cygwin can get stuck in an infinite loop.

* "git daemon" did not correctly parse the initial line that carries
virtual host request information.

* "git diff --textconv" leaked memory badly when the textconv filter
errored out.

* The built-in regular expressions to pick function names to put on
hunk header lines for java and objc were very inefficiently written.

* in certain error situations git-fetch (and git-clone) on Windows didn't
detect connection abort and ended up waiting indefinitely.

* import-tars script (in contrib) did not import symbolic links correctly.

* http.c used CURLOPT_SSLKEY even on libcURL version 7.9.2, even though
it was only available starting 7.9.3.

* low-level filelevel merge driver used return value from strdup()
without checking if we ran out of memory.

* "git rebase -i" left stray closing parenthesis in its reflog message.

* "git remote show" did not show all the URLs associated with the named
remote, even though "git remote -v" did. Made them consistent by
making the former show all URLs.

* "whitespace" attribute that is set was meant to detect all errors known
to git, but it told git to ignore trailing carriage-returns.

Includes other documentation fixes.

[ANNOUNCE] EGit and JGit projects have split

Posted 6 months ago by Shawn O. Pearce

The EGit and JGit projects have now split apart. Up until today
they were housed in the same repository at repo.or.cz.

As EGit is moving to the Eclipse Foundation umbrella, we wanted to
fully split JGit off such that applications ... [More] trying to make use of
JGit can do so without dragging in the EGit specific code.

JGit is now here:

http://repo.or.cz/w/jgit.git
git://repo.or.cz/jgit.git

direct patches to git ML
same maintainers (myself, Robin Rosenberg)

EGit is still in the same location:

http://repo.or.cz/w/egit.git
git://repo.or.cz/egit.git

direct patches to egit-dev@eclipse.org
same maintainers (myself, Robin Rosenberg)

FYI, no history was rewritten. Two commits were introduced to
create the fork:

JGit: 9171327f92240a3dbef4a389a2a6378044013803 (rm -rf *egit*)
EGit: 8f4475f4324599ab704eb1dc3adec92d3b1b85df (rm -rf *jgit*)

Please update your personal forks and clones as necessary.

GIT v1.6.3.2 Release Notes
==========================

Fixes since v1.6.3.1
--------------------

* A few codepaths picked up the first few bytes from an sha1[] by
casting the (char *) pointer to (int *); GCC 4.4 did not like this,
and aborted compilation.

* Some unlink(2) failures went undiagnosed.

* The "recursive" merge strategy misbehaved when faced rename/delete
conflicts while coming up with an intermediate merge base.

* The low-level merge algorithm did not handle a degenerate case of
merging a file with itself using itself as the common ancestor
gracefully. It should produce the file itself, but instead
produced an empty result.

* GIT_TRACE mechanism segfaulted when tracing a shell-quoted aliases.

* OpenBSD also uses st_ctimspec in "struct stat", instead of "st_ctim".

* With NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS, "make install" can be told not to
create hardlinks between $(gitexecdir)/git-$builtin_commands and
$(bindir)/git.

* command completion code in bash did not reliably detect that we are
in a bare repository.

* "git add ." in an empty directory complained that pathspec "." did not
match anything, which may be technically correct, but not useful. We
silently make it a no-op now.

* "git add -p" (and "patch" action in "git add -i") was broken when
the first hunk that adds a line at the top was split into two and
both halves are marked to be used.

* "git blame path" misbehaved at the commit where path became file
from a directory with some files in it.

* "git for-each-ref" had a segfaulting bug when dealing with a tag object
created by an ancient git.

* "git format-patch -k" still added patch numbers if format.numbered
configuration was set.

* "git grep --color ''" did not terminate. The command also had
subtle bugs with its -w option.

* http-push had a small use-after-free bug.

* "git push" was converting OFS_DELTA pack representation into less
efficient REF_DELTA representation unconditionally upon transfer,
making the transferred data unnecessarily larger.

* "git remote show origin" segfaulted when origin was still empty.

Many other general usability updates around help text, diagnostic messages
and documentation are included as well.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Changes since v1.6.3.1 are as follows:

Alex Riesen (7):
Introduce an unlink(2) wrapper which gives warning if unlink failed
replace direct calls to unlink(2) with unlink_or_warn
print unlink(2) errno in copy_or_link_directory
Clarify kind of conflict in merge-one-file helper

Splitting a hunk that adds a line at the top fails in "add -p"

[ANNOUNCE] Git Wiki / repo.or.cz outage

Posted 6 months ago by Petr Baudis

Hello,

today, I will be upgrading the machine with Git Wiki and repo.or.cz
to Debian Lenny, and then upgrading the repo.or.cz infrastructure to the
new more user-friendly version (that I finished about half a year ... [More] ago
:/).

Thus, the Wiki may not be available for several hours from about
13:00 UCT today. The repo.or.cz mirroring will be stopped for most of
the day, the administrative interface will experience some
yet-unestimated outage, the web interface, git daemon and pushing
service should stay available most of the time.

Sorry for the short notice!

The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in:

RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.6.3.1-1.fc9.$arch.rpm (RPM)

Embarrasingly 1.6.3 has a rather grave regression when you switch to a new
branch while you have some changes added to the index. A commit you make
from that index will record a wrong tree. Please consider this a hotfix
and do not use vanilla 1.6.3.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Changes since v1.6.3 are as follows:

Alex Riesen (1):
Clarify kind of conflict in merge-one-file helper

Alexander Potashev (1):
Documentation: cloning to empty directory is allowed

Felipe Contreras (1):
git config: clarify --add and --get-color

Junio C Hamano (4):

[ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.6.3

Posted 7 months ago by Junio C Hamano

The latest feature release GIT 1.6.3 is available at the usual
places:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

git-1.6.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball)
git-htmldocs-1.6.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted ... [More] docs)

The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in:

RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.6.3-1.fc9.$arch.rpm (RPM)

----------------------------------------------------------------
GIT v1.6.3 Release Notes
========================

With the next major release, "git push" into a branch that is
currently checked out will be refused by default. You can choose
what should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration
variable receive.denyCurrentBranch in the receiving repository.

To ease the transition plan, the receiving repository of such a
push running this release will issue a big warning when the
configuration variable is missing. Please refer to:

http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007

for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the
transition plan.

For a similar reason, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch
$killed in a remote repository $there, if $killed branch is the current
branch pointed at by its HEAD, gets a large warning. You can choose what
should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration variable
receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving repository.

When the user does not tell "git push" what to push, it has always
pushed matching refs. For some people it is unexpected, and a new
configuration variable push.default has been introduced to allow
changing a different default behaviour. To advertise the new feature,
a big warning is issued if this is not configured and a git push without
arguments is attempted.

Updates since v1.6.2
--------------------

(subsystems)

* various git-svn updates.

* git-gui updates, including an update to Russian translation, and a
fix to an infinite loop when showing an empty diff.

* gitk updates, including an update to Russian translation and improved Windows
support.

(performance)

* many uses of lstat(2) in the codepath for "git checkout" have been
optimized out.

(usability, bells and whistles)

* Boolean configuration variable yes/no can be written as on/off.

* rsync:/path/to/repo can be used to run git over rsync for local
repositories. It may not be useful in practice; meant primarily for
testing.

* http transport learned to prompt and use password when fetching from or
pushing to http://user@host.xz/ URL.

* (msysgit) progress output that is sent over the sideband protocol can
be handled appropriately in Windows console.

* "--pretty=" option to the log family of commands can now be
spelled as "--format=". In addition, --format=%formatstring
is a short-hand for --pretty=tformat:%formatstring.

* "--oneline" is a synonym for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit".

* "--graph" to the "git log" family can draw the commit ancestry graph
in colors.

* If you realize that you botched the patch when you are editing hunks
with the 'edit' action in git-add -i/-p, you can abort the editor to
tell git not to apply it.

* @{-1} is a new way to refer to the last branch you were on introduced in
1.6.2, but the initial implementation did not teach this to a few
commands. Now the syntax works with "branch -m @{-1} newname".

* git-archive learned --output= option.

* git-archive takes attributes from the tree being archived; strictly
speaking, this is an incompatible behaviour change, but is a good one.
Use --worktree-attributes option to allow it to read attributes from
the work tree as before (deprecated git-tar tree command always reads
attributes from the work tree).

* git-bisect shows not just the number of remaining commits whose goodness
is unknown, but also shows the estimated number of remaining rounds.

* You can give --date= option to git-blame.

* "git-branch -r" shows HEAD symref that points at a remote branch in
interest of each tracked remote repository.

* "git-branch -v -v" is a new way to get list of names for branches and the
"upstream" branch for them.

* git-config learned -e option to open an editor to edit the config file
directly.

* git-clone runs post-checkout hook when run without --no-checkout.

* git-difftool is now part of the officially supported command, primarily
maintained by David Aguilar.

* git-for-each-ref learned a new "upstream" token.

* git-format-patch can be told to use attachment with a new configuration,
format.attach.

* git-format-patch can be told to produce deep or shallow message threads.

* git-format-patch can be told to always add sign-off with a configuration
variable.

* git-format-patch learned format.headers configuration to add extra
header fields to the output. This behaviour is similar to the existing
--add-header= option of the command.

* git-format-patch gives human readable names to the attached files, when
told to send patches as attachments.

* git-grep learned to highlight the found substrings in color.

* git-imap-send learned to work around Thunderbird's inability to easily
disable format=flowed with a new configuration, imap.preformattedHTML.

* git-rebase can be told to rebase the series even if your branch is a
descendant of the commit you are rebasing onto with --force-rebase
option.

* git-rebase can be told to report diffstat with the --stat option.

* Output from git-remote command has been vastly improved.

* "git remote update --prune $remote" updates from the named remote and
then prunes stale tracking branches.

* git-send-email learned --confirm option to review the Cc: list before
sending the messages out.

(developers)

* Test scripts can be run under valgrind.

* Test scripts can be run with installed git.

* Makefile learned 'coverage' option to run the test suites with
coverage tracking enabled.

* Building the manpages with docbook-xsl between 1.69.1 and 1.71.1 now
requires setting DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP to work around a docbook-xsl bug.
This workaround used to be enabled by default, but causes problems
with newer versions of docbook-xsl. In addition, there are a few more
knobs you can tweak to work around issues with various versions of the
docbook-xsl package. See comments in Documentation/Makefile for details.

* Support for building and testing a subset of git on a system without a
working perl has been improved.

Fixes since v1.6.2
------------------

All of the fixes in v1.6.2.X maintenance series are included in this
release, unless otherwise noted.

Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
v1.6.2.X series.

* "git-apply" rejected a patch that swaps two files (i.e. renames A to B
and B to A at the same time). May need to be backported by cherry
picking d8c81df and then 7fac0ee).

* The initial checkout did not read the attributes from the .gitattribute
file that is being checked out.

* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears
in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a).
