abd4e22 Fix "git log -z" behaviour For commit messages, we should really put the "line_termination" when we output the character in between different commits, *not* between the commit and the diff. The diff goes hand-in-hand with the commit, it shouldn't be separated from it with the termination character. So this: - uses the termination character for true inter-commit spacing - uses a regular newline between the commit log and the diff We had it the other way around. For the normal case where the termination character is '\n', this obviously doesn't change anything at all, since we just switched two identical characters around. So it's very safe - it doesn't change any normal usage, but it definitely fixes "git log -z". By fixing "git log -z", you can now also do insane things like git log -p -z | grep -z "some patch expression" | tr '\0' '\n' | less -S and you will see only those commits that have the "some patch expression" in their commit message _or_ their patches. (This is slightly different from 'git log -S"some patch expression"', since the latter requires the expression to literally *change* in the patch, while the "git log -p -z | grep .." approach will see it if it's just an unchanged _part_ of the patch context) Of course, if you actually do something like the above, you're probably insane, but hey, it works! Try the above command line for a demonstration (of course, you need to change the "some patch expression" to be something relevant). The old behaviour of "git log -p -z" was useless (and got things completely wrong for log entries without patches).

fa1b4d2 t4200: skip gc-rerere test on systems with non GNU date. Quite nonstandard "date -d @11111111 +%s" does not even fail on OpenBSD but gives the current date in "seconds since epoch" format, which is useless for the purpose of this test.

fcee5a1 for-each-reflog: fix case for empty log directory When we remove the last reflog in a directory, opendir() would succeed and we would iterate over its dirents, expecting retval to be initialized to zero and setting it to non-zero only upon seeing an error. If the directory is empty, oops!, we do not have anybody that touches retval. The problem is because we initialize retval to errno even on success from opendir(), which would leave the errno unmolested.

22c9f7e Don't crash fast-import if the marks cannot be exported. Apparently fast-import used to die a horrible death if we were unable to open the marks file for output. This is slightly less than ideal, especially now that we dump the marks as part of the `checkpoint` command. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> 07 February 2007, 07:46:35 UTC
820b931 Dump all refs and marks during a checkpoint in fast-import. If the frontend asks us to checkpoint (via the explicit checkpoint command) its probably because they are afraid the current import will crash/fail/whatever and want to make sure they can pickup from the last checkpoint. To do that sort of recovery, we will need the current tip of every branch and tag available at the next startup. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> 07 February 2007, 07:42:44 UTC
c499d76 Teach fast-import how to sit quietly in the corner. Often users will be running fast-import from within a larger frontend process, and this may be a frequent periodic tool such as a future edition of `git-svn fetch`. We don't want to bombard users with our large stats output if they won't be interested in it, so `--quiet` is now an option to make gfi be more silent. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> 07 February 2007, 07:19:31 UTC
825769a Teach fast-import how to clear the internal branch content. Some frontends may not be able to (easily) keep track of which files are included in the branch, and which aren't. Performing this tracking can be tedious and error prone for the frontend to do, especially if its foreign data source cannot supply the changed path list on a per-commit basis. fast-import now allows a frontend to request that a branch's tree be wiped clean (reset to the empty tree) at the start of a commit, allowing the frontend to feed in all paths which belong on the branch. This is ideal for a tar-file importer frontend, for example, as the frontend just needs to reformat the tar data stream into a gfi data stream, which may be something a few Perl regexps can take care of. :) Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

7073e69 Don't do non-fastforward updates in fast-import. If fast-import is being used to update an existing branch of a repository, the user may not want to lose commits if another process updates the same ref at the same time. For example, the user might be using fast-import to make just one or two commits against a live branch. We now perform a fast-forward check during the ref updating process. If updating a branch would cause commits in that branch to be lost, we skip over it and display the new SHA1 to standard error. This new default behavior can be overridden with `--force`, like git-push and git-fetch. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> 06 February 2007, 21:08:06 UTC
63e0c8b Support RFC 2822 date parsing in fast-import. Since some frontends may be working with source material where the dates are only readily available as RFC 2822 strings, it is more friendly if fast-import exposes Git's parse_date() function to handle the conversion. This way the frontend doesn't need to perform the parsing itself. The new --date-format option to fast-import can be used by a frontend to select which format it will supply date strings in. The default is the standard `raw` Git format, which fast-import has always supported. Format rfc2822 can be used to activate the parse_date() function instead. Because fast-import could also be useful for creating new, current commits, the format `now` is also supported to generate the current system timestamp. The implementation of `now` is a trivial call to datestamp(), but is actually a whole whopping 3 lines so that fast-import can verify the frontend really meant `now`. As part of this change I have added validation of the `raw` date format. Prior to this change fast-import would accept anything in a `committer` command, even if it was seriously malformed. Now fast-import requires the '> ' near the end of the string and verifies the timestamp is formatted properly. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> 06 February 2007, 19:58:30 UTC
ef94edb Minor fast-import documentation corrections. Corrected a couple of header markup lines which were shorter than the actual header, and made the `data` commands two formats into a named list, which matches how we document the two formats of the `M` command within a commit. Also tried to simplify the language about our decimal integer format; Linus pointed out I was probably being too specific at the cost of reduced readability. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> 06 February 2007, 17:35:02 UTC
e7d06a4 Remove unnecessary null pointer checks in fast-import.

d46ae3f git-push: allow globbing wildcard refspec. This allows you to set up mothership-satellite configuration more symmetrically and naturally by allowing the globbing wildcard refspec for git-push. On your satellite machine: [remote "mothership"] url = mothership:project.git fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/mothership/* push = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/* You would say "git fetch mothership" to update your tracking branches under mothership/ to keep track of the progress on the mothership side, and when you are done working on the satellite machine, you would "git push mothership" to update their tracking branches under satellite/. Corresponding configuration on the mothership machine can be used to make "git fetch satellite" update its tracking branch under satellite/. on the mothership.

e5b1444 Correct minor style issue in fast-import. Junio noticed that I was using a different style in fast-import for returned pointers than the rest of Git.

6e411d2 Initial draft of fast-import documentation. This is a first pass at the manpage for git-fast-import. I have tried to cover the input format in extreme detail, creating a reference which is more detailed than the BNF grammar appearing in the header of fast-import.c. I have also covered some details about gfi's performance and memory utilization, as well as the average learning curve required to create a gfi frontend application (as it is far lower than it might appear on first glance). The documentation still lacks real example input streams, which may turn out to be difficult to format in asciidoc due to the blank lines which carry meaning within the format.

6c3aac1 Don't support shell-quoted refnames in fast-import. The current implementation of shell-style quoted refnames and SHA-1 expressions within fast-import contains a bad memory leak. We leak the unquoted strings used by the `from` and `merge` commands, maybe others. Its also just muddling up the docs. Since Git refnames cannot contain LF, and that is our delimiter for the end of the refname, and we accept any other character as-is, there is no reason for these strings to support quoting, except to be nice to frontends. But frontends shouldn't be expecting to use funny refs in Git, and its just as simple to never quote them as it is to always pass them through the same quoting filter as pathnames. So frontends should never quote refs, or ref expressions. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> 06 February 2007, 01:30:37 UTC

3468e71 Make gitk work reasonably well on Cygwin. The gitk gui layout was completely broken on Cygwin. If gitk was started without previous geometry in ~/.gitk, the user could drag the window sashes to get a useable layout. However, if ~/.gitk existed, this was not possible at all. The fix was to rewrite makewindow, changing the toplevel containers and the particular geometry information saved between sessions. Numerous bugs in both the Cygwin and the Linux Tk versions make this a delicate balancing act: the version here works in both but many subtle variants are competely broken in one or the other environment. Three user visible changes result: 1 - The viewer is fully functional under Cygwin. 2 - The search bar moves from the bottom to the top of the lower left pane. This was necessary to get around a layout problem on Cygwin. 3 - The window size and position is saved and restored between sessions. Again, this is necessary to get around a layout problem on Cygwin. Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net> 06 February 2007, 01:14:15 UTC

35ce862 pager: Work around window resizing bug in 'less' If you resize the terminal while less is waiting for input, less will exit entirely without even showing the output. This is very noticeable if you do something like "git diff" on a big and cold-cache tree and git takes a few seconds to think, and then you resize the window while it's preparing. Boom. No output AT ALL. The way to reproduce the problem is to do some pager operation that takes a while in git, and resizing the window while git is thinking about the output. Try git diff --stat v2.6.12.. in the kernel tree to do something where it takes a while for git to start outputting information.

b6f5da1 Teach git-remote add to fetch and track This adds three options to 'git-remote add'. * -f (or --fetch) option tells it to also run the initial "git fetch" using the newly created remote shorthand. * -t (or --track) option tells it not to use the default wildcard to track all branches. * -m (or --master) option tells it to make the remote/$name/HEAD point at a remote tracking branch other than master. For example, with this I can say: $ git remote add -f -t master -t quick-start -m master \ jbf-um git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/git.git/ to (1) create remote.jbf-um.url; (2) track master and quick-start branches (and no other); the two -t options create these two lines: fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/jbf-um/master fetch = +refs/heads/quick-start:refs/remotes/jbf-um/quick-start (3) set up remotes/jbf-um/HEAD to point at jbf-um/master so that later I can say "git log jbf-um" Or I could do $ git remote add -t 'ap/*' andy /home/andy/git.git to make Andy's topic branches kept track of under refs/remotes/andy/ap/. Other possible improvements I considered but haven't implemented (hint, hint) are: * reject wildcard letters other than a trailing '*' to the -t parameter; * make -m optional and when the first -t parameter does not have the trailing '*' default to that value (so the above example does not need to say "-m master"); * if -m is not given, and -t parameter ends with '*' (i.e. the above defaulting did not tell us where to point HEAD at), and if we did the fetch with -f, check if 'master' was fetched and make HEAD point at it.

005f85d Use pretend_sha1_file() in git-blame and git-merge-recursive. git-merge-recursive wants an null tree as the fake merge base while producing the merge result tree. The null tree does not have to be written out in the object store as it won't be part of the result, and it is a prime example for using the new pretend_sha1_file() function. git-blame needs to register an arbitrary data to in-core index while annotating a working tree file (or standard input), but git-blame is a read-only application and the user of it could even lack the privilege to write into the object store; it is another good example for pretend_sha1_file().

ea81fcc Show an example of deleting commits with git-rebase. This particular use of git-rebase to remove a single commit or a range of commits from the history of a branch recently came up on the mailing list. Documenting the example should help other users arrive at the same solution on their own. It also was not obvious to the newcomer that git-rebase is able to accept any commit for --onto <newbase> and <upstream>.

10831c5 Reduce memory usage of fast-import. Some structs are allocated rather frequently, but were using integer types which were far larger than required to actually store their full value range. As packfiles are limited to 4 GiB we don't need more than 32 bits to store the offset of an object within that packfile, an `unsigned long` on a 64 bit system is likely a 64 bit unsigned value. Saving 4 bytes per object on a 64 bit system can add up fast on any sizable import. As atom strings are strictly single components in a path name these are probably limited to just 255 bytes by the underlying OS. Going to that short of a string is probably too restrictive, but certainly `unsigned int` is far too large for their lengths. `unsigned short` is a reasonable limit. Modes within a tree really only need two bytes to store their whole value; using `unsigned int` here is vast overkill. Saving 4 bytes per file entry in an active branch can add up quickly on a project with a large number of files. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> 05 February 2007, 21:34:56 UTC

756373d Revert "Allow branch.*.merge to talk about remote tracking branches." This reverts commit 80c797764a6b6a373f0f1f47d7f56b0d950418a9. Back when I committed this, it seemed to be a good idea. People who always use remote tracking branches can optionally use the local name they happen to use to specify what to merge, which meant that I did not have to teach them why we use the name at the remote side every time they are confused. But allowing it seems to break other people's scripts. The real solution is not to allow more ways to express the same thing, but to educate people to use the right syntax.

1f7d1a5 git-clone --reference: saner handling of borrowed symrefs. When using --reference to borrow objects from a neighbouring repository while cloning, we copy the entire set of refs under temporary "refs/reference-tmp/refs" space and set up the object alternates. However, a textual symref copied this way would not point at the right place, and causes later steps to emit error messages (which is harmless but still alarming). This is most visible when using a clone created with the separate-remote layout as a reference, because such a repository would have refs/remotes/origin/HEAD with 'ref: refs/remotes/origin/master' as its contents. Although we do not create symbolic-link based refs anymore, they have the same problem because they are always supposed to be relative to refs/ hierarchy (we dereference by hand, so it only is good for HEAD and nothing else). In either case, the solution is simply to remove them after copying under refs/reference-tmp; if a symref points at a true ref, that true ref itself is enough to ensure that objects reachable from it do not needlessly get fetched.

72e5e98 bash: Add space after unique command name is completed. Because we use the nospace option for our completion function for the main 'git' wrapper bash won't automatically add a space after a unique completion has been made by the user. This has been pointed out in the past by Linus Torvalds as an undesired behavior. I agree. We have to use the nospace option to ensure path completion for a command such as `git show` works properly, but that breaks the common case of getting the space for a unique completion. So now we set IFS=$'\n' (linefeed) and add a trailing space to every possible completion option. This causes bash to insert the space when the completion is unique. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

183d797 Keep untracked files not involved in a merge. My earlier fix (8371234e) to delete renamed tracked files from the working directory also caused merge-recursive to delete untracked files that were in the working directory. The problem here is merge-recursive is deleting the working directory file without regard for which branch it was associated with. What we really want to do during a merge is to only delete files that were renamed by the branch we are merging into the current branch, and that are still tracked by the current branch. These files definitely don't belong in the working directory anymore. Anything else is either a merge conflict (already handled in other parts of the code) or a file that is untracked by the current branch and thus is not even participating in the merge. Its this latter class that must be left alone. For this fix to work we are now assuming that the first non-base argument passed to git-merge-recursive always corresponds to the working directory. This is already true for all in-tree callers of merge-recursive. This assumption is also supported by the long time usage message of "<base> ... -- <head> <remote>", where "<head>" is implied to be HEAD, which is generally assumed to be the current tree-ish.

a9d1836 Why is it bad to rewind a branch that has already been pushed out? I was reading the tutorial and noticed that we say this: Also, don't use "git reset" on a publicly-visible branch that other developers pull from, as git will be confused by history that disappears in this way. I do not think this is a good explanation. For example, if we do this: (1) I build a series and push it out. ---o---o---o---j (2) Alice clones from me, and builds two commits on top of it. ---o---o---o---j---a---a (3) I rewind one and build a few, and push them out. ---o---o---o...j \ h---h---h---h (4) Alice pulls from me again: ---o---o---o---j---a---a---* \ / h---h---h---h Contrary to the description, git will happily have Alice merge between the two branches, and never gets confused. Maybe I did not want to have 'j' because it was an incomplete solution to some problem, and Alice may have fixed it up with her changes, while I abandoned that approach I started with 'j', and worked on something completely unrelated in the four 'h' commits. In such a case, the merge Alice would make would be very sensible, and after she makes the merge if I pull from her, the world will be perfect. I started something with 'j' and dropped the ball, Alice picked it up and perfected it while I went on to work on something else with 'h'. This would be a perfect example of distributed parallel collaboration. There is nothing confused about it. The case the rewinding becomes problematic is if the work done in 'h' tries to solve the same problem as 'j' tried to solve in a different way. Then the merge forced on Alice would make her pick between my previous attempt with her fixups (j+a) and my second attempt (h). If 'a' commits were to fix up what 'j' started, presumably Alice already studied and knows enough about the problem so she should be able to make an informed decision to pick between what 'j+a' and 'h' do. A lot worse case is if Alice's work is not at all related to what 'j' wanted to do (she did not mean to pick up from where I left off -- she just wanted to work on something different). Then she would not be familiar enough with what 'j' and 'h' tried to achieve, and I'd be forcing her to pick between the two. Of course if she can make the right decision, then again that is a perfect example of distributed collaboration, but that does not change the fact that I'd be forcing her to clean up my mess.
