The GIT To-Do File ================== The latest copy of this document is found at http://kernel.org/git/?p=git/git.git;a=blob;hb=todo;f=TODO http://repo.or.cz/w/alt-git.git?a=blob;hb=todo;f=TODO This is primarily meant for my personal reminder, but feel free to pick an item from the list and work on it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Recent issues ------------- * cherry-pick unexpected conflicts From: Gerrit Pape Subject: Re: unexpected git-cherry-pick conflict Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2007 13:43:35 +0000 Message-ID: <20070613134336.13661.qmail@c61f4fed932273.315fe32.mid.smarden.org> * 3way merge still has D/F conflict problems Subject: [RFH] 3way still has D/F conflict problems... Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 00:22:51 -0700 Message-ID: <7vejizmvn8.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> I am punting on unpack-trees related D/F issues for 1.5.3. We might end up rewriting read-tree after the release. * Pushing into a non-bare repository more gracefully. When git-push is done to a non-bare repository and updates the branch that is currently checked out, we currently do not do anything special. From: Linus Torvalds Message-ID: * git-daemon bug? From: Franck Bui-Huu Message-ID: <450EABD0.1040102@innova-card.com> Repeated requests against git-daemon makes it stuck under --syslog [jc: does not reproduce easily for me; has anybody seen it?] * Use gitattributes for more things. - 'precious' files that are not tracked but not build-products. Currently people seem to put them in .gitignore, but that is not quite right, as .gitignore is meant for ignoring things that can be lost (build products, editor backup files). "git clean -x" and "git checkout" to another branch that has a file where the current branch has a directory could lose such 'precious' files. - Others??? Technical (heavier) ------------------- * Subproject Porcelain. - recursive checkout - recursive diff From: Junio C Hamano Message-ID: <11793556371774-git-send-email-junkio@cox.net> * make merge-recursive and read-tree -u more robust when D/F conflict is involved. From: Junio C Hamano Message-ID: <11793556371774-git-send-email-junkio@cox.net> * Use blame machinery to track a single file (not path) in a finer grained way. From: Linus Torvalds Message-ID: [jc: I have a fixed-up one parked in 'pu' and also outlined what other things I think are needed in my response: Message-ID: <7vwt06wqv8.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> ] Technical (milder) ------------------ * perhaps add 'tree' entries to the index. From: Junio C Hamano Message-ID: <11793556371774-git-send-email-junkio@cox.net> * "pure" clones, that does not know about where it was cloned from. Specifically, no [remote "origin"] in .git/config, nor refs/remotes/origin. From: Junio C Hamano Message-ID: <7vr6pac86g.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> * upload-pack support to start fetching from any valid point on the history, not just published refs. (Erik W. Biederman ) * daemon --strict-symlink. * "git fetch" should be able to use foreign SCM import backends such as svnimport and cvsimport. * "git clone" should be a thin wrapper around init/remote/fetch/checkout From: Junio C Hamano Message-ID: <11793556371774-git-send-email-junkio@cox.net> * Maybe grok PGP signed text/plain in mailinfo as well. Technical (trivial) ------------------- * Give --stdin to git-log, similar to git-rev-list From: "Marco Costalba" Message-ID: [jc: but why is it needed? shouldn't we be using rev-list plumbing, and if not perhaps rev-list needs to learn something log knows how to do?] * Update the lockfile protocol so that closing and renaming are done inside lockfile commit time. Some filesystems do not like an open file renamed and then closed. Come up with a patch and pass Alex for an Ack. * Mbx (not mbox) support for git-mailsplit. * git-clone fail .git/refs/foo (Yann Dirson ) <20060610225040.GA7766@nowhere.earth> * git-proxy should be spawned with sh -c 'command' $1 $2. [jc: should it? -- deciding if it should may not be "trivial", but if it turns out to be the right thing to do, the change itself is trivial.] * Maybe a true git-proxy command that reads the first request pkt-line, and redirects the request to its real destination. * test scripts for the relative directory path stuff.
