From 43b1791ec601732ac31195df96781a848360a9ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Ambo Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2021 13:03:01 +0300 Subject: chore(3p/git): Unvendor git and track patches instead This was vendored a long time ago under the expectation that keeping it in sync with cgit would be easier this way, but it has proven not to be a big issue. On the other hand, a vendored copy of git is an annoying maintenance burden. It is much easier to rebase the single (dottime) patch that we have. This removes the vendored copy of git and instead passes the git source code to cgit via `pkgs.srcOnly`, which includes the applied patch so that cgit can continue rendering dottime.

"git push" without any refspec - will push the current branch out to the same name at the remote - repository only when it is set to track the branch with the same - name over there. The plan is to make this mode the new default - value when push.default is not configured. - - * A couple of commands learned the "--column" option to produce - columnar output. - - * A third-party tool "git subtree" is distributed in contrib/ - - * A remote helper that acts as a proxy and caches ssl session for the - https:// transport is added to the contrib/ area. - - * Error messages given when @{u} is used for a branch without its - upstream configured have been clarified. - - * Even with the "-q"uiet option, "checkout" used to report setting up - tracking. Also "branch" learned the "-q"uiet option to squelch - informational message. - - * Your build platform may support hardlinks but you may prefer not to - use them, e.g. when installing to DESTDIR to make a tarball and - untarring on a filesystem that has poor support for hardlinks. - There is a Makefile option NO_INSTALL_HARDLINKS for you. - - * The smart-http backend used to always override GIT_COMMITTER_* - variables with REMOTE_USER and REMOTE_ADDR, but these variables are - now preserved when set. - - * "git am" learned the "--include" option, which is an opposite of - existing the "--exclude" option. - - * When "git am -3" needs to fall back to an application of the patch - to a synthesized preimage followed by a 3-way merge, the paths that - needed such treatment are now reported to the end user, so that the - result in them can be eyeballed with extra care. - - * The output from "diff/log --stat" used to always allocate 4 columns - to show the number of modified lines, but not anymore. - - * "git difftool" learned the "--dir-diff" option to spawn external - diff tools that can compare two directory hierarchies at a time - after populating two temporary directories, instead of running an - instance of the external tool once per a file pair. - - * The "fmt-merge-msg" command learned to list the primary contributors - involved in the side topic you are merging in a comment in the merge - commit template. - - * "git rebase" learned to optionally keep commits that do not - introduce any change in the original history. - - * "git push --recurse-submodules" learned to optionally look into the - histories of submodules bound to the superproject and push them - out. - - * A 'snapshot' request to "gitweb" honors If-Modified-Since: header, - based on the commit date. - - * "gitweb" learned to highlight the patch it outputs even more. - -Foreign Interface - - * "git svn" used to die with unwanted SIGPIPE when talking with an HTTP - server that uses keep-alive. - - * "git svn" learned to use platform specific authentication - providers, e.g. gnome-keyring, kwallet, etc. - - * "git p4" has been moved out of the contrib/ area and has seen more - work on importing labels as tags from (and exporting tags as labels - to) p4. - -Performance and Internal Implementation (please report possible regressions) - - * Bash completion script (in contrib/) have been cleaned up to make - future work on it simpler. - - * An experimental "version 4" format of the index file has been - introduced to reduce on-disk footprint and I/O overhead. - - * "git archive" learned to produce its output without reading the - blob object it writes out in memory in its entirety. - - * "git index-pack" that runs when fetching or pushing objects to - complete the packfile on the receiving end learned to use multiple - threads to do its job when available. - - * The code to compute hash values for lines used by the internal diff - engine was optimized on little-endian machines, using the same - trick the kernel folks came up with. - - * "git apply" had some memory leaks plugged. - - * Setting up a revision traversal with many starting points was - inefficient as these were placed in a date-order priority queue - one-by-one. Now they are collected in the queue unordered first, - and sorted immediately before getting used. - - * More lower-level commands learned to use the streaming API to read - from the object store without keeping everything in core. - - * The weighting parameters to suggestion command name typo have been - tweaked, so that "git tags" will suggest "tag?" and not "stage?". - - * Because "sh" on the user's PATH may be utterly broken on some - systems, run-command API now uses SHELL_PATH, not /bin/sh, when - spawning an external command (not applicable to Windows port). - - * The API to iterate over the refs/ hierarchy has been tweaked to - allow walking only a subset of it more efficiently. - -Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v1.7.10 -------------------- - -Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.10 in the maintenance -releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for -details). - - * "git submodule init" used to report "registered for path ..." - even for submodules that were registered earlier. - (cherry-pick c1c259e jl/submodule-report-new-path-once later to maint). - - * "git diff --stat" used to fully count a binary file with modified - execution bits whose contents is unmodified, which was not quite - right. -- cgit 1.4.1
