What's cooking in git.git (Dec 2019, #04; Tue, 17)
--------------------------------------------------
 
Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.  The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of
the integration branches, but I am still holding onto them.
 
The fifth batch of topics are now in 'master', on top of merging the
big security-related updates to the older maintenance tracks.
 
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

 In a repository with many packfiles, the cost of the procedure that
 avoids registering the same packfile twice was unnecessarily high
 by using an inefficient search algorithm, which has been corrected.

 of a commit in the format that is often used to refer to it in log
 messages.
 
 
* dl/range-diff-with-notes (2019-12-06) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2019-12-10 at af8f441807)

 + commit-graph: use start_delayed_progress()
 + progress: create GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY
 
 One kind of progress messages were always given during commit-graph

 operation in the parent process on Windows.

 + submodule--helper: advise on fatal alternate error

 The interaction between "git clone --recurse-submodules" and
 alternate object store was ill-designed.  The documentation and
 code have been taught to make more clear recommendations when the
 users see failures.

 The "diff" machinery learned not to lose added/removed blank lines
 in the context when --ignore-blank-lines and --function-context are
 used at the same time.

  (merged to 'next' on 2019-11-27 at 6908186f85)
 + sequencer: don't re-read todo for revert and cherry-pick
 
 While running "revert" or "cherry-pick --edit" for multiple
 commits, a recent regression incorrectly detected "nothing to
 commit, working tree clean", instead of replaying the commits,
 which has been corrected.

  (merged to 'next' on 2019-12-02 at 4916f80e5e)

 of test results.
 
--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]
 
* pw/advise-rebase-skip (2019-12-06) 9 commits
 - rebase -i: leave CHERRY_PICK_HEAD when there are conflicts
 - rebase: fix advice when a fixup creates an empty commit
 - commit: give correct advice for empty commit during a rebase
 - commit: encapsulate determine_whence() for sequencer
 - commit: use enum value for multiple cherry-picks
 - sequencer: write CHERRY_PICK_HEAD for reword and edit
 - cherry-pick: check commit error messages
 - cherry-pick: add test for `--skip` advice in `git commit`
 - t3404: use test_cmp_rev
 
 The mechanism to prevent "git commit" from making an empty commit
 or amending during an interrupted cherry-pick was broken during the
 rewrite of "git rebase" in C, which has been corrected.
 
 Needs review.
 The tip two are still RFC.
 
 
* dl/format-patch-notes-config-fixup (2019-12-13) 7 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2019-12-16 at e4da5b93bb)
 + notes: break set_display_notes() into smaller functions
 + config/format.txt: clarify behavior of multiple format.notes
  (merged to 'next' on 2019-12-10 at 2d8830090f)
 + format-patch: move git_config() before repo_init_revisions()
 + format-patch: use --notes behavior for format.notes
 + notes: extract logic into set_display_notes()
 + notes: create init_display_notes() helper
 + notes: rename to load_display_notes()
 
 "git format-patch" can take a set of configured format.notes values
 to specify which notes refs to use in the log message part of the
 output.  The behaviour of this was not consistent with multiple
 --notes command line options, which has been corrected.
 
 Will merge to 'master'.

 - built-in add -p: implement the "worktree" patch modes
 - built-in add -p: implement the "checkout" patch modes
 - built-in stash: use the built-in `git add -p` if so configured

 - built-in add -p: implement the "stash" and "reset" patch modes
 - built-in add -p: prepare for patch modes other than "stage"
 (this branch uses js/add-p-in-c.)

* at/rebase-fork-point-regression-fix (2019-12-09) 1 commit
 - rebase: fix --fork-point with short refname
 
 The "--fork-point" mode of "git rebase" regressed when the command
 was rewritten in C back in 2.20 era, which has been corrected.
 
 Was waiting for discussion to settle.

 - builtin/config: die if "value_regex" doesn't canonicalize as boolean
 - builtin/config: warn if "value_regex" doesn't canonicalize as boolean
 - builtin/config: canonicalize "value_regex" with `--type=bool-or-int`
 - builtin/config: canonicalize "value_regex" with `--type=bool`
 - builtin/config: collect "value_regexp" data in a struct
 - builtin/config: extract `handle_value_regex()` from `get_value()`
 - t1300: modernize part of script
 - config: make `git_parse_maybe_bool_text()` public
 
 "git config" can be told to affect the existing entries that
 "match" the given value via its value_regex argument.  It learned
 to normalize the value set in the configuration and the value given
 from the command line before computing they "match", e.g. "true" in
 the configuration file can now match with "yes" given from the
 command line.
 
 Needs a bit more work?

 - grep: move driver pre-load out of critical section
 - grep: re-enable threads in non-worktree case
 - grep: protect packed_git [re-]initialization
 - grep: allow submodule functions to run in parallel
 - submodule-config: add skip_if_read option to repo_read_gitmodules()
 - grep: replace grep_read_mutex by internal obj read lock
 - object-store: allow threaded access to object reading
 - replace-object: make replace operations thread-safe
 - grep: fix racy calls in grep_objects()
 - grep: fix race conditions at grep_submodule()
 - grep: fix race conditions on userdiff calls
 
 Traditionally, we avoided threaded grep while searching in objects
 (as opposed to files in the working tree) as accesses to the object
 layer is not thread-safe.  This limitation is getting lifted.
 
 Expecting a reroll.

 cherry-pick better.
