2011-12-16docs: brush up obsolete bits of git-fsck manpageLibravatar Jeff King1-18/+8
After the description and options, the fsck manpage contains some discussion about what it does. Over time, this discussion has become somewhat obsolete, both in content and formatting. In particular: 1. There are many options now, so starting the discussion with "It tests..." makes it unclear whether we are talking about the last option, or about the tool in general. Let's start a new "discussion" section and make our antecedent more clear. 2. It gave an example for --unreachable using for-each-ref to mention all of the heads, saying that it will do "a _lot_ of verification". This is hopelessly out-of-date, as giving no arguments will check much more (reflogs, the index, non-head refs). 3. It goes on to mention tests "to be added" (like tree object sorting). We now have these tests. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The keepcr flag is only used in the split_patches function, which is only called before a patch application has to stopped for user input, not after resuming. It is therefore unnecessary to persist the flag.

Back in 1127148 (Loosen "working file will be lost" check in Porcelain-ish - 2006-12-04), git-checkout.sh learned to quietly overwrite ignored files.

2011-11-23revert --abort: do not leave behind useless sequencer-old directoryLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-0/+9
The "git cherry-pick --abort" command currently renames the .git/sequencer directory to .git/sequencer-old instead of removing it on success due to an accident. cherry-pick --abort is designed to work in three steps: 1) find which commit to roll back to 2) call "git reset --merge <commit>" to move to that commit 3) remove the .git/sequencer directory But the careless author forgot step 3 entirely. The only reason the command worked anyway is that "git reset --merge <commit>" renames the .git/sequencer directory as a secondary effect --- after moving to <commit>, or so the logic goes, it is unlikely but possible that the caller of git reset wants to continue the series of cherry-picks that was in progress, so git renames the sequencer state to .git/sequencer-old to be helpful while allowing the cherry-pick to be resumed if the caller did not want to end the sequence after all. By running "git cherry-pick --abort", the operator has clearly indicated that she is not planning to continue cherry-picking. Remove the (renamed) .git/sequencer directory as intended all along.

2011-11-22revert: introduce --abort to cancel a failed cherry-pickLibravatar Jonathan Nieder5-3/+185
After running some ill-advised command like "git cherry-pick HEAD..linux-next", the bewildered novice may want to return to more familiar territory. Introduce a "git cherry-pick --abort" command that rolls back the entire cherry-pick sequence and places the repository back on solid ground. Just like "git merge --abort", this internally uses "git reset --merge", so local changes not involved in the conflict resolution are preserved.

2011-11-22revert: write REVERT_HEAD pseudoref during conflicted revertLibravatar Jonathan Nieder4-3/+61
When conflicts are encountered while reverting a commit, it can be handy to have the name of that commit easily available. For example, to produce a copy of the patch to refer to while resolving conflicts: $ git revert 2eceb2a8 error: could not revert 2eceb2a8... awesome, buggy feature $ git show -R REVERT_HEAD >the-patch $ edit $(git diff --name-only) Set a REVERT_HEAD pseudoref when "git revert" does not make a commit, for cases like this. This also makes it possible for scripts to distinguish between a revert that encountered conflicts and other sources of an unmerged index. After successfully committing, resetting with "git reset", or moving to another commit with "git checkout" or "git reset", the pseudoref is no longer useful, so remove it.

2011-11-22revert: improve error message for cherry-pick during cherry-pickLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-7/+6
In the spirit of v1.6.3.3~3^2 (refuse to merge during a merge, 2009-07-01), "git cherry-pick" refuses to start a new cherry-pick when in the middle of an existing conflicted cherry-pick in the following sequence: 1. git cherry-pick HEAD..origin 2. resolve conflicts 3. git cherry-pick HEAD..origin (instead of "git cherry-pick --continue", by mistake) Good. However, the error message on attempting step 3 is more convoluted than necessary: $ git cherry-pick HEAD..origin error: .git/sequencer already exists. error: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress. hint: Use --continue to continue the operation hint: or --quit to forget about it fatal: cherry-pick failed Clarify by removing the redundant first "error:" message, simplifying the advice, and using lower-case and no full stops to be consistent with other commands that prefix their messages with "error:", so it becomes error: a cherry-pick or revert is already in progress hint: try "git cherry-pick (--continue | --quit)" fatal: cherry-pick failed The "fatal: cherry-pick failed" line seems unnecessary, too, but that can be fixed some other day.

2011-11-22revert: rename --reset option to --quitLibravatar Jonathan Nieder7-25/+49
The option to "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" to discard the sequencer state introduced by v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~6 (revert: Introduce --reset to remove sequencer state, 2011-08-04) has a confusing name. Change it now, while we still have the time. The new name for "cherry-pick, please get out of my way, since I've long forgotten about the sequence of commits I was cherry-picking when you wrote that old .git/sequencer directory" is --quit. Mnemonic: this is analagous to quiting a program the user is no longer using --- we just want to get out of the multiple-command cherry-pick procedure and not to reset HEAD or rewind any other old state. The "--reset" option is kept as a synonym to minimize the impact. We might consider dropping it for simplicity in a separate patch, though. Adjust documentation and tests to use the newly preferred name (--quit) instead of --reset. While at it, let's clarify the short descriptions of these operations in "-h" output. Before: --reset forget the current operation --continue continue the current operation After: --quit end revert or cherry-pick sequence --continue resume revert or cherry-pick sequence Noticed-by: Phil Hord <phil.hord@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-11-20config.c: Fix a static buffer overwrite bug by avoiding mkpath()Libravatar Ramsay Jones1-2/+2
On cygwin, test number 21 of t3200-branch.sh (git branch -m q q2 without config should succeed) fails. The failure involves the functions from path.c which parcel out internal static buffers from the git_path() and mkpath() functions. In particular, the rename_ref() function calls safe_create_leading\ _directories() with a filename returned by git_path("logs/%s", ref). safe_create_leading_directories(), in turn, calls stat() on each element of the path it is given. On cygwin, this leads to a call to git_config() for each component of the path, since this test explicitly removes the config file. git_config() calls mkpath(), so on the fourth component of the path, the original buffer passed into the function is overwritten with the config filename. Note that this bug is specific to cygwin and it's schizophrenic stat() functions (see commits adbc0b6, 7faee6b and 7974843). The lack of a config file and a path with at least four elements is also important to trigger the bug. In order to fix the problem, we replace the call to mkpath() with a call to mksnpath() and provide our own buffer.

2011-11-20t5501-*.sh: Fix url passed to clone in setup testLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-1/+1
In particular, the url passed to git-clone has an extra '/' given after the 'file://' schema prefix, thus: git clone --reference=original "file:///$(pwd)/original one Once the prefix is removed, the remainder of the url looks something like "//home/ramsay/git/t/...", which is then interpreted as an network path. This then results in a "Permission denied" error, like so: ramsay $ ls //home ls: cannot access //home: No such host or network path ramsay $ ls //home/ramsay ls: cannot access //home/ramsay: Permission denied ramsay $ In order to fix the problem, we simply remove the extraneous '/' character from the url.
