What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2014, #06; Wed, 24)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.
Many topics that have been cooking in 'next' are now in 'master'.
For some unknown reason, we ended up seeing that multiple people
simultaneously cooking topics that are all on the larger side
(i.e. dozen patches or more). Inevitably larger topics tend to need
more rerolls, and they haven't really hit my tree quite yet, even
though many have been receiving and responding to reviews quite
actively. Hopefully some may be able to hit 'next' by the end of
6th week of this cycle (i.e. early to mid October), or they would
have to wait until the next cycle.
On the 'maint' front, the first maintenance release for v2.1.x
series is out, downmerging the fixes that are already on 'master'
accumulated since v2.1.0.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at
http://git-blame.blogspot.com/p/git-public-repositories.html

[New Topics]
* ah/grammofix (2014-09-02) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-12 at 58fbb44)
+ grammofix in user-facing messages
* nd/archive-pathspec (2014-09-22) 1 commit
- archive: support filtering paths with glob
"git archive" learned to filter what gets archived with pathspec.
* as/calloc-takes-nmemb-then-size (2014-09-03) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-12 at a287484)
+ calloc() and xcalloc() takes nmemb and then size
Will merge to 'next'.

* rs/graph-simplify (2014-09-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-23 at 72969e2)
+ graph: simplify graph_padding_line()
* bb/date-iso-strict (2014-08-29) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-12 at c9d415d)
+ pretty: provide a strict ISO 8601 date format
Will merge to 'master'.
"log --date=iso" uses a slight variant of ISO 8601 format that is
made more human readable. A new "--date=iso-strict" option gives
datetime output that is more strictly conformant.
* 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

+ stylefix: asterisks stick to the variable, not the type
Will merge to 'master'.
* ir/makefile-typofix (2014-09-15) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-18 at bc1c273)
+ Makefile: fix some typos in the preamble
* sb/merge-recursive-copy-paste-fix (2014-09-23) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-24 at b8dfbef)
+ merge-recursive: remove stale commented debugging code
+ merge-recursive: fix copy-paste mistake
"git merge-recursive" had a small bug that could have made it
mishandle "one side deleted, the other side did not touch it" in a
rare corner case, where the other side actually did touch to cause
the blob object names to be different but both blobs before and
after the change normalize to the same (e.g. correcting mistake to
check in a blob with CRLF line endings by replacing it with another
blob that records the same contents with LF line endings).
* jc/parseopt-verify-short-name (2014-09-04) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-12 at 43dba24)
+ parse-options: detect attempt to add a duplicate short option name
Will merge to 'master'.
Add checks for a common programming mistake to assign the same
short option name to two separate options to help developers.
* 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
* jk/commit-author-parsing (2014-08-29) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-12 at cfbb6b6)
+ determine_author_info(): copy getenv output
+ determine_author_info(): reuse parsing functions
+ date: use strbufs in date-formatting functions
+ record_author_date(): use find_commit_header()
+ record_author_date(): fix memory leak on malformed commit
+ commit: provide a function to find a header in a buffer
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
* jk/fast-export-anonymize (2014-08-28) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-12 at 0af10fa)
+ docs/fast-export: explain --anonymize more completely
+ teach fast-export an --anonymize option
Will merge to 'master'.
Sometimes users want to report a bug they experience on their
repository, but they are not at liberty to share the contents of
the repository. "fast-export" was taught an "--anonymize" option
to replace blob contents, names of people and paths and log
messages with bland and simple strings to help them.
* so/rebase-doc-fork-point (2014-09-22) 1 commit
- Documentation/git-rebase.txt: document when --fork-point is auto-enabled
* jk/fsck-exit-code-fix (2014-09-12) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-18 at 34c696f)
+ fsck: return non-zero status on missing ref tips
+ fsck: exit with non-zero status upon error from fsck_obj()
"git fsck" failed to report that it found corrupt objects via its
exit status in some cases.

* jt/itimer-autoconf (2014-08-29) 3 commits
- autoconf: check for setitimer()
- autoconf: check for struct itimerval
- git-compat-util.h: add missing semicolon after struct itimerval
(this branch is used by jt/timer-settime.)
When receiving an invalid pack stream that records the same object
twice, multiple threads got confused due to a race. We should
reject or correct such a stream upon receiving, but that will be a
larger change.
Split the early part of jt/timer-settime topic out into a topic.
* jk/send-pack-many-refspecs (2014-08-26) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-12 at 7f4ae4e)
+ send-pack: take refspecs over stdin
The number of refs that can be pushed at once over smart HTTP was
limited by the command line length. The limitation has been lifted
by passing these refs from the standard input of send-pack.
* jp/index-with-corrupt-stages (2014-08-29) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-12 at 54016d5)
+ read_index_unmerged(): remove unnecessary loop index adjustment
+ read_index_from(): catch out of order entries when reading an index file
A broken reimplementation of Git could write an invalid index that
records both stage #0 and higher stage entries for the same path.
Notice and reject such an index, as there is no sensible fallback
(we do not know if the broken tool wanted to resolve and forgot to
remove higher stage entries, or if it wanted to unresolve and
forgot to remove the stage#0 entry).
* js/no-test-cmp-for-binaries (2014-09-12) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-15 at c5609e9)

* kb/perf-trace (2014-09-08) 1 commit

* mb/fast-import-delete-root (2014-08-29) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2014-09-12 at d0fda49)
+ fast-import: fix segfault in store_tree()
+ t9300: test filedelete command
An attempt to remove the entire tree in the "git fast-import" input
stream caused it to misbehave.
