These additional +branches are created if 'git svn' cannot find a parent commit for the +first commit in an SVN branch, to connect the branch to the history of +the other branches. + +Normally, the first commit in an SVN branch consists +of a copy operation. 'git svn' will read this commit to get the SVN +revision the branch was created from. It will then try to find the +git commit that corresponds to this SVN revision, and use that as the +parent of the branch. However, it is possible that there is no suitable +git commit to serve as parent. This will happen, among other reasons, +if the SVN branch is a copy of a revision that was not fetched by 'git +svn' (e.g. because it is an old revision that was skipped with +'--revision'), or if in SVN a directory was copied that is not tracked +by 'git svn' (such as a branch that is not tracked at all, or a +subdirectory of a tracked branch). In these cases, 'git svn' will still +create a git branch, but instead of using an existing git commit as the +parent of the branch, it will read the SVN history of the directory the +branch was copied from and create appropriate git commits. This is +indicated by the message "Initializing parent: <branchname>". + +Additionally, it will create a special branch named +'<branchname>@<SVN-Revision>', where <SVN-Revision> is the SVN revision +number the branch was copied from. This branch will point to the newly +created parent commit of the branch. If in SVN the branch was deleted +and later recreated from a different version, there will be multiple +such branches with an '@'. + +Note that this may mean that multiple git commits are created for a +single SVN revision. + +An example: in an SVN repository with a standard +trunk/tags/branches layout, a directory trunk/sub is created in r.100. +In r.200, trunk/sub is branched by copying it to branches/. 'git svn +clone -s' will then create a branch 'sub'. It will also create new git +commits for r.100 through r.199 and use these as the history of branch +'sub'. Thus there will be two git commits for each revision from r.100 +to r.199 (one containing trunk/, one containing trunk/sub/).

Você pode usar qualquer -parte inicial do nome que seja longo o bastante para identificar -unicamente o commit: - -------------------------------------- -$ git show c82a22c39c # os primeiros caracteres do nome são o bastante - # usualmente -$ git show HEAD # a ponta do ramo atual -$ git show experimental # a ponta do ramo "experimental" -------------------------------------- - -Todo commit normalmente tem um commit "pai" que aponta para o estado -anterior do projeto: - -------------------------------------- -$ git show HEAD^ # para ver o pai de HEAD -$ git show HEAD^^ # para ver o avô de HEAD -$ git show HEAD~4 # para ver o trisavô de HEAD -------------------------------------- - -Note que commits de unificação podem ter mais de um pai: - -------------------------------------- -$ git show HEAD^1 # mostra o primeiro pai de HEAD (o mesmo que HEAD^) -$ git show HEAD^2 # mostra o segundo pai de HEAD -------------------------------------- - -Você também pode dar aos commits nomes à sua escolha; após executar - -------------------------------------- -$ git tag v2.5 1b2e1d63ff -------------------------------------- - -você pode se referir a 1b2e1d63ff pelo nome "v2.5". Se você pretende -compartilhar esse nome com outras pessoas (por exemplo, para identificar -uma versão de lançamento), você deveria criar um objeto "tag", e talvez -assiná-lo; veja linkgit:git-tag[1] para detalhes. - -Qualquer comando git que precise conhecer um commit pode receber -quaisquer desses nomes. Por exemplo: - -------------------------------------- -$ git diff v2.5 HEAD # compara o HEAD atual com v2.5 -$ git branch stable v2.5 # inicia um novo ramo chamado "stable" baseado - # em v2.5 -$ git reset --hard HEAD^ # reseta seu ramo atual e seu diretório de - # trabalho a seu estado em HEAD^ -------------------------------------- - -Seja cuidadoso com o último comando: além de perder quaisquer mudanças -em seu diretório de trabalho, ele também remove todos os commits -posteriores desse ramo. Se esse ramo é o único ramo contendo esses -commits, eles serão perdidos. Também, não use 'git-reset' num ramo -publicamente visível de onde outros desenvolvedores puxam, já que vai -forçar unificações desnecessárias para que outros desenvolvedores limpem -a história. Se você precisa desfazer mudanças que você empurrou, use -'git-revert' no lugar. - -O comando 'git-grep' pode buscar strings em qualquer versão de seu -projeto, então - -------------------------------------- -$ git grep "hello" v2.5 -------------------------------------- - -procura por todas as ocorrências de "hello" em v2.5. - -Se você deixar de fora o nome do commit, 'git-grep' irá procurar -quaisquer dos arquivos que ele gerencia no diretório corrente. Então - -------------------------------------- -$ git grep "hello" -------------------------------------- - -é uma forma rápida de buscar somente os arquivos que são rastreados pelo -git. - -Muitos comandos git também recebem um conjunto de commits, o que pode -ser especificado de várias formas. Aqui estão alguns exemplos com 'git-log': - -------------------------------------- -$ git log v2.5..v2.6 # commits entre v2.5 e v2.6 -$ git log v2.5.. # commits desde v2.5 -$ git log --since="2 weeks ago" # commits das últimas 2 semanas -$ git log v2.5.. Makefile # commits desde v2.5 que modificam - # Makefile -------------------------------------- - -Você também pode dar ao 'git-log' um "intervalo" de commits onde o -primeiro não é necessariamente um ancestral do segundo; por exemplo, se -as pontas dos ramos "stable" e "master" divergiram de um commit -comum algum tempo atrás, então - -------------------------------------- -$ git log stable..master -------------------------------------- - -irá listar os commits feitos no ramo "master" mas não no ramo -"stable", enquanto - -------------------------------------- -$ git log master..stable -------------------------------------- - -irá listar a lista de commits feitos no ramo "stable" mas não no ramo -"master". - -O comando 'git-log' tem uma fraqueza: ele precisa mostrar os commits em -uma lista. Quando a história tem linhas de desenvolvimento que -divergiram e então foram unificadas novamente, a ordem em que 'git-log' -apresenta essas mudanças é irrelevante. - -A maioria dos projetos com múltiplos contribuidores (como o kernel -Linux, ou o próprio git) tem unificações frequentes, e 'gitk' faz um -trabalho melhor de visualizar sua história. Por exemplo, - -------------------------------------- -$ gitk --since="2 weeks ago" drivers/ -------------------------------------- - -permite a você navegar em quaisquer commits desde as últimas duas semanas -de commits que modificaram arquivos sob o diretório "drivers". (Nota: -você pode ajustar as fontes do gitk segurando a tecla control enquanto -pressiona "-" ou "+".) - -Finalmente, a maioria dos comandos que recebem nomes de arquivo permitirão -também, opcionalmente, preceder qualquer nome de arquivo por um -commit, para especificar uma versão particular do arquivo: - -------------------------------------- -$ git diff v2.5:Makefile HEAD:Makefile.in -------------------------------------- - -Você pode usar 'git-show' para ver tal arquivo: - -------------------------------------- -$ git show v2.5:Makefile -------------------------------------- - -Próximos passos ----------- - -Este tutorial deve ser o bastante para operar controle de revisão -distribuído básico para seus projetos. No entanto, para entender -plenamente a profundidade e o poder do git você precisa entender duas -idéias simples nas quais ele se baseia: - - * A base de objetos é um sistema bem elegante usado para armazenar a - história de seu projeto--arquivos, diretórios, e commits. - - * O arquivo de índice é um cache do estado de uma árvore de diretório, - usado para criar commits, restaurar diretórios de trabalho, e - armazenar as várias árvores envolvidas em uma unificação. - -A parte dois deste tutorial explica a base de objetos, o arquivo de -índice, e algumas outras coisinhas que você vai precisar pra usar o -máximo do git. Você pode encontrá-la em linkgit:gittutorial-2[7]. - -Se você não quiser continuar com o tutorial agora nesse momento, algumas -outras digressões que podem ser interessantes neste ponto são: - - * linkgit:git-format-patch[1], linkgit:git-am[1]: Estes convertem - séries de commits em patches para email, e vice-versa, úteis para - projetos como o kernel Linux que dependem fortemente de patches - enviados por email. - - * linkgit:git-bisect[1]: Quando há uma regressão em seu projeto, uma - forma de rastrear um bug é procurando pela história para encontrar o - commit culpado. Git bisect pode ajudar a executar uma busca binária - por esse commit. Ele é inteligente o bastante para executar uma - busca próxima da ótima mesmo no caso de uma história complexa - não-linear com muitos ramos unificados. - - * link:everyday.html[GIT diariamente com 20 e tantos comandos] - - * linkgit:gitcvs-migration[7]: Git para usuários de CVS. - -VEJA TAMBÉM --------- -linkgit:gittutorial-2[7], -linkgit:gitcvs-migration[7], -linkgit:gitcore-tutorial[7], -linkgit:gitglossary[7], -linkgit:git-help[1], -link:everyday.html[git diariamente], -link:user-manual.html[O Manual do Usuário git] - -GIT ---- -Parte da suite linkgit:git[1]. diff --git a/Documentation/technical/api-allocation-growing.txt b/Documentation/technical/api-allocation-growing.txt index 43dbe09f73..542946b1ba 100644 --- a/Documentation/technical/api-allocation-growing.txt +++ b/Documentation/technical/api-allocation-growing.txt @@ -5,7 +5,9 @@ Dynamically growing an array using realloc() is error prone and boring.
