Here is a short list of itches I would like to get scratched before 1.0. I may be forgetting something big, though, so if your favorite feature request is not included in the list please speak up.
- Teach send-pack to use get_sha1() on the source side. In addition to a pattern that matches one reference on the source side, we should be able to use anything get_sha1() can grok. Hopefully I'll be looking into this over the weekend. - Teach fetch-pack reference renaming. On the push side, send-pack now knows updating arbitrary remote references from local references. We need something similar for fetching. I personally do not feel we need it for cloning but my cursory reading of clone-pack indicates the command is meant to work reasonably even in an already populated repository. If somebody have a good use case for it and a clean patch, I may be tempted to accept it. - Glossary documentation Johannes Schindelin is working on. I think coming up with the concensus of terms would come fairly quickly on the list. Updating docs to match the concensus may take some time. Help is greatly appreciated. - Makefile variables updates from Pasky. While I do not have objections to rename dest to DESTDIR and such Pasky proposes, I want to have a matching change to RPM and deb generation. I can speak basic debian/rules, but I am reluctant to touch RPM side of the things. Whether we do the dest/DESTDIR rename or not, we need to tweak binary packaging anyway, or stop installing the default templates. I can be talked into either way. My tentative plan is for 0.99.4 to finish send-pack, 0.99.5 to enhance fetch-pack, 0.99.6 to finish the first pass for the documentation updates and stabilizing the binary packaging. These are not 1.0 showstopper items but what I personally would love to see. - teach mailsplit/mailinfo basic MIME (attachments and quoted-printable) Some people send patches in MIME quoted-printable. I could drop them on the floor and ask the sender to resend, but I've been being a nice guy, which currently involves manual intervention. - teach git-apply "reverse" and possibly "fuzz". I think this might help Porcelain; currently they have to interpret git extended diff headers themselves. - commit template filler discussed with Pasky some time ago. - "rev-list a...b" should mean "rev-list `merge-base a b`..b" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
