Asciidoctor, an alternative reimplementation of AsciiDoc, still
needs some changes to work with documents meant to be formatted
with AsciiDoc. "make USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=YesPlease" to use it out of
the box to document our pages is getting closer to reality.
* bc/use-asciidoctor-opt:
Documentation: implement linkgit macro for Asciidoctor
Makefile: add a knob to enable the use of Asciidoctor
Documentation: move dblatex arguments into variable
Documentation: add XSLT to fix DocBook for Texinfo
Documentation: sort sources for gitman.texi
Documentation: remove unneeded argument in cat-texi.perl
Documentation: modernize cat-texi.perl
Documentation: fix warning in cat-texi.perl
Names of the various hook scripts must be spelled exactly, but on
Windows, an .exe binary must be named with .exe suffix; notice
$GIT_DIR/hooks/<hookname>.exe as a valid <hookname> hook.
* js/mingw-hooks-with-exe-suffix:
mingw: allow hooks to be .exe files
Test tweaks for those who have default ACL in their git source tree
that interfere with the umask test.
* mm/reset-facl-before-umask-test:
t0001: don't let a default ACL interfere with the umask test
"git help" enumerates executable files in $PATH; the implementation
of "is this file executable?" on Windows has been optimized.
* hv/mingw-help-is-executable:
help: improve is_executable() on Windows
Test tweak for FreeBSD where /usr/bin/unzip is unsuitable to run
our tests but /usr/local/bin/unzip is usable.
* js/unzip-in-usr-bin-workaround:
test-lib: on FreeBSD, look for unzip(1) in /usr/local/bin/
After starting "git rebase -i", which first opens the user's editor
to edit the series of patches to apply, but before saving the
contents of that file, "git status" failed to show the current
state (i.e. you are in an interactive rebase session, but you have
applied no steps yet) correctly.
* js/status-pre-rebase-i:
status: be prepared for not-yet-started interactive rebase
"git submodule add" used to be confused and refused to add a
locally created repository; users can now use "--force" option
to add them.
* sb/submodule-add-force:
submodule add: extend force flag to add existing repos
Code cleanup.
* js/exec-path-coverity-workaround:
git_exec_path: do not return the result of getenv()
git_exec_path: avoid Coverity warning about unfree()d result
Tighten a test to avoid mistaking an extended ERE regexp engine as
a PRE regexp engine.
* jk/grep-e-could-be-extended-beyond-posix:
t7810: avoid assumption about invalid regex syntax
"git <cmd> @{push}" on a detached HEAD used to segfault; it has
been corrected to error out with a message.
* km/branch-get-push-while-detached:
branch_get_push: do not segfault when HEAD is detached
"git rebase -i" with a recent update started showing an incorrect
count when squashing more than 10 commits.
* jk/rebase-i-squash-count-fix:
rebase--interactive: count squash commits above 10 correctly
"git blame --porcelain" misidentified the "previous" <commit, path>
pair (aka "source") when contents came from two or more files.
* jk/blame-fixes:
blame: output porcelain "previous" header for each file
blame: handle --no-abbrev
blame: fix alignment with --abbrev=40
"git archive" did not read the standard configuration files, and
failed to notice a file that is marked as binary via the userdiff
driver configuration.
* jk/archive-zip-userdiff-config:
archive-zip: load userdiff config
It is natural that "git gc --auto" may not attempt to pack
everything into a single pack, and there is no point in warning
when the user has configured the system to use the pack bitmap,
leading to disabling further "gc".
* dt/disable-bitmap-in-auto-gc:
repack: die on incremental + write-bitmap-index
auto gc: don't write bitmaps for incremental repacks
Leakage of lockfiles in the config subsystem has been fixed.
* nd/config-misc-fixes:
config.c: handle lock file in error case in git_config_rename_...
config.c: rename label unlock_and_out
config.c: handle error case for fstat() calls
Recent update to the default abbreviation length that auto-scales
lacked documentation update, which has been corrected.
* jc/abbrev-autoscale-config:
config.abbrev: document the new default that auto-scales
"git fast-import" sometimes mishandled while rebalancing notes
tree, which has been fixed.
* mh/fast-import-notes-fix-new:
fast-import: properly fanout notes when tree is imported
Compression setting for producing packfiles were spread across
three codepaths, one of which did not honor any configuration.
Unify these so that all of them honor core.compression and
pack.compression variables the same way.
* jc/compression-config:
compression: unify pack.compression configuration parsing
Update the procedure to generate "tags" for developer support.
* jk/make-tags-find-sources-tweak:
Makefile: exclude contrib from FIND_SOURCE_FILES
Makefile: match shell scripts in FIND_SOURCE_FILES
Makefile: exclude test cruft from FIND_SOURCE_FILES
Makefile: reformat FIND_SOURCE_FILES
Some platforms no longer understand "latin-1" that is still seen in
the wild in e-mail headers; replace them with "iso-8859-1" that is
more widely known when conversion fails from/to it.
* jc/latin-1:
utf8: accept "latin-1" as ISO-8859-1
utf8: refactor code to decide fallback encoding
"git fsck --connectivity-check" was not working at all.
* jk/fsck-connectivity-check-fix:
fsck: lazily load types under --connectivity-only
fsck: move typename() printing to its own function
t1450: use "mv -f" within loose object directory
fsck: check HAS_OBJ more consistently
fsck: do not fallback "git fsck <bogus>" to "git fsck"
fsck: tighten error-checks of "git fsck <head>"
fsck: prepare dummy objects for --connectivity-check
fsck: report trees as dangling
t1450: clean up sub-objects in duplicate-entry test
Rewrite a scripted porcelain "git difftool" in C.
* js/difftool-builtin:
difftool: hack around -Wzero-length-format warning
difftool: retire the scripted version
difftool: implement the functionality in the builtin
difftool: add a skeleton for the upcoming builtin
A few codepaths had to rely on a global variable when sorting
elements of an array because sort(3) API does not allow extra data
to be passed to the comparison function. Use qsort_s() when
natively available, and a fallback implementation of it when not,
to eliminate the need, which is a prerequisite for making the
codepath reentrant.
* rs/qsort-s:
ref-filter: use QSORT_S in ref_array_sort()
string-list: use QSORT_S in string_list_sort()
perf: add basic sort performance test
add QSORT_S
compat: add qsort_s()
"git show-ref HEAD" used with "--verify" because the user is not
interested in seeing refs/remotes/origin/HEAD, and used with
"--head" because the user does not want HEAD to be filtered out,
i.e. "git show-ref --head --verify HEAD", did not work as expected.
* vp/show-ref-verify-head:
show-ref: remove a stale comment
show-ref: remove dead `if (verify)' check
show-ref: detect dangling refs under --verify as well
show-ref: move --quiet handling into show_one()
show-ref: allow -d to work with --verify
show-ref: accept HEAD with --verify
With anticipatory tweaking for remotes defined in ~/.gitconfig
(e.g. "remote.origin.prune" set to true, even though there may or
may not actually be "origin" remote defined in a particular Git
repository), "git remote rename" and other commands misinterpreted
and behaved as if such a non-existing remote actually existed.
* js/remote-rename-with-half-configured-remote:
remote rename: more carefully determine whether a remote is configured
remote rename: demonstrate a bogus "remote exists" bug
A crashing bug introduced in v2.11 timeframe has been found (it is
triggerable only in fast-import) and fixed.
* jk/clear-delta-base-cache-fix:
clear_delta_base_cache(): don't modify hashmap while iterating
"git tag" and "git verify-tag" learned to put GPG verification
status in their "--format=<placeholders>" output format.
* st/verify-tag:
t/t7004-tag: Add --format specifier tests
t/t7030-verify-tag: Add --format specifier tests
builtin/tag: add --format argument for tag -v
builtin/verify-tag: add --format to verify-tag
ref-filter: add function to print single ref_array_item
gpg-interface, tag: add GPG_VERIFY_OMIT_STATUS flag
The sequencer machinery has been further enhanced so that a later
set of patches can start using it to reimplement "rebase -i".
* js/sequencer-i-countdown-3: (38 commits)
sequencer (rebase -i): write out the final message
sequencer (rebase -i): write the progress into files
sequencer (rebase -i): show the progress
sequencer (rebase -i): suggest --edit-todo upon unknown command

sequencer (rebase -i): differentiate between comments and 'noop'
sequencer (rebase -i): implement the 'drop' command
sequencer (rebase -i): allow rescheduling commands
sequencer (rebase -i): respect strategy/strategy_opts settings
sequencer (rebase -i): respect the rebase.autostash setting
sequencer (rebase -i): run the post-rewrite hook, if needed
sequencer (rebase -i): record interrupted commits in rewritten, too
sequencer (rebase -i): copy commit notes at end
sequencer (rebase -i): set the reflog message consistently
sequencer (rebase -i): refactor setting the reflog message
sequencer (rebase -i): allow fast-forwarding for edit/reword
