* 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
* ew/svn-fixes (2015-02-26) 2 commits
- Merge branch 'svn-maint-fixes' into svn-fixes
- git-svn: lazy load some modules
(this branch uses ew/svn-maint-fixes.)
"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?
Will merge to 'next'.
* mg/sequencer-commit-messages-always-verbatim (2015-02-23) 1 commit
- sequencer: preserve commit messages
* ew/svn-maint-fixes (2015-02-26) 2 commits
- Git::SVN::*: avoid premature FileHandle closure
- git-svn: fix localtime=true on non-glibc environments
(this branch is used by ew/svn-fixes.)
Always replay the original commit message verbatim, regardless of
the commit.cleanup configuration settings by the user.
Is this a good idea?
Will merge to 'next' and soon to 'master'.
* rj/no-xopen-source-for-cygwin (2015-02-22) 1 commit

Will merge to 'next'.
* ja/clean-confirm-i18n (2015-03-02) 1 commit
- Add hint interactive cleaning
The prompt string "remove?" used when "git clean -i" asks the user
if a path should be removed was localizable, but the code always
expects a substring of "yes" to tell it to go ahead. Always show
[y/N] as part of this prompt to hint that the answer is not (yet)
localized.
Will merge to 'next'.
