2008-04-23t5516: remove ambiguity test (1)Libravatar Jeff King1-13/+1
This test tried to push into a remote with ambiguous refs in remotes/$x/master and remotes/$y/master. However, the remote never actually tells us about the refs/remotes hierarchy, so we don't even see this ambiguity. The test happened to pass because we were simply looking for failure, and the test fails for another reason: the dst refspec does not exist and does not begin with refs/, making it invalid.

2008-04-22git-svn bug with blank commits and author fileLibravatar Thomas Guyot-Sionnest1-2/+1
When trying to import from svn using an author file, git-svn bails out if it encounters a blank author. The attached patch changes this behavior and allow using the author file with blanks authors. I came across this bug while importing from a cvs2svn repo where the initial revision (1) has a blank author. This doesn't break the behavior of bailing out when an unknown author is encountered.

2008-04-16git-bisect: make "start", "good" and "skip" succeed or fail atomicallyLibravatar Christian Couder2-5/+16
Before this patch, when "git bisect start", "git bisect good" or "git bisect skip" were called with many revisions, they could fail after having already marked some revisions as "good", "bad" or "skip". This could be especilally bad for "git bisect start" because as the file ".git/BISECT_NAMES" would not have been written, there would have been no attempt to clear the marked revisions on a "git bisect reset". That's because if there is no ".git/BISECT_NAMES" file, nothing is done to clean things up, as the bisect session is not supposed to have started. While at it, let's also create the ".git/BISECT_START" file, only after ".git/BISECT_NAMES" as been created.

2008-04-16git-am: cope better with an empty Subject: lineLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-14/+10
When the Subject: line is empty for whatever reason, git-am was fooled by it and left an empty line at the beginning of the resulting commit log message. This moves the logic around so that we do not keep $SUBJECT in a separate variable. Instead, $dotest/msg-clean, which used to be the log message body extracted from the message and then trailing whitespaces cleansed out, now contains the subject line followed by a blank line at the beginning for normal messages, and we use the first line from the file as the summary line throughout the program.

2008-04-15bisect: squelch "fatal: ref HEAD not a symref" misleading messageLibravatar Christian Couder1-1/+1
To get the current HEAD when we start bisecting using for example "git bisect start", we first try "git symbolic-ref HEAD" to get a nice name, and if it fails, we fall back to "git rev-parse --verify HEAD". The problem is that when "git symbolic-ref HEAD" fails, it displays "fatal: ref HEAD not a symref", so it looks like "git bisect start" failed and does not accept detached HEAD, even if in fact it worked fine. This patch adds "-q" option to the "git symbolic-ref" call to get rid of the misleading error message.

2008-04-15Clarify documentation of git-cvsserver, particularly in relation to git-shellLibravatar Scott Collins1-11/+17
For SSH clients restricted to git-shell, CVS_SERVER does not have to be specified, because git-shell understands the default value of 'cvs' to mean git-cvsserver'. This makes it totally transparent to CVS users, but the instruction to set up CVS access for people with real shell access does not apply. Previous wording mentioning GIT_AUTHOR, GIT_COMMITTER variables was unclear that we really meant GIT_AUTHOR_(NAME|EMAIL), etc. Note that the .ssh/environment file is a good place to set these, and that the .bashrc is shell-specific. Add a bit of text to differentiate cvs -d (setting CVSROOT) from cvs co -d (setting the name of the newly checked out directory). Removed an extra 'Example:' string.

2008-04-11bisect: fix bad rev checking in "git bisect good"Libravatar Christian Couder2-9/+18
It seems that "git bisect good" and "git bisect skip" have never properly checked arguments that have been passed to them. As soon as one of them can be parsed as a SHA1, no error or warning would be given. This is because 'git rev-parse --revs-only --no-flags "$@"' always "exit 0" and outputs all the SHA1 it can found from parsing "$@". This patch fix this by using, for each "bisect good" argument, the same logic as for the "bisect bad" argument. While at it, this patch teaches "bisect bad" to give a meaningfull error message when it is passed more than one argument. Note that if "git bisect good" or "git bisect skip" is given some proper revs and then something that is not a proper rev, then the first proper revs will still have been marked as "good" or "skip".

2008-04-10git-archive: ignore prefix when checking file attributeLibravatar René Scharfe3-5/+22
Ulrik Sverdrup noticed that git-archive doesn't correctly apply the attribute export-subst when the option --prefix is given, too. When it checked if a file has the attribute turned on, git-archive would try to look up the full path -- including the prefix -- in .gitattributes. That's wrong, as the prefix doesn't need to have any relation to any existing directories, tracked or not. This patch makes git-archive ignore the prefix when looking up if value of the attribute export-subst for a file.

2008-04-06Fix "git apply" to correctly enforce "match at the beginning"Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-13/+29
An earlier commit 4be6096 (apply --unidiff-zero: loosen sanity checks for --unidiff=0 patches, 2006-09-17) made match_beginning and match_end computed incorrectly. If a hunk inserts at the beginning, old position recorded at the hunk is line 0, and if a hunk changes at the beginning, it is line 1. The new test added to t4104 exposes that the old code did not insist on matching at the beginning for a patch to add a line to an empty file. An even older 65aadb9 (apply: force matching at the beginning., 2006-05-24) was equally wrong in that it tried to take hints from the number of leading context lines, to decide if the hunk must match at the beginning, but we can just look at the line number in the hunk to decide.

However, rebase is about transplanting commits that are already made with as little distortion as possible, and pre-commit check should not interfere.

2008-03-15format-patch: generate MIME header as needed even when there is format.headerLibravatar Junio C Hamano5-16/+57
Earlier, the callchain from pretty_print_commit() down to pp_title_line() had an unwarranted assumption that the presense of "after_subject" parameter, means the caller has already output MIME headers for attachments. The parameter's primary purpose is to give extra header lines the caller wants to place after pp_title_line() generates the "Subject: " line. This assumption does not hold when the user used the format.header configuration variable to pass extra headers, and caused a message with non-ASCII character to lack proper MIME headers (e.g. 8-bit CTE header). The earlier logic also failed to suppress duplicated MIME headers when "format-patch -s --attach" is asked for and the signer's name demanded 8-bit clean transport. This patch fixes the logic by introducing a separate need_8bit_cte parameter passed down the callchain. This can have one of these values: -1 : we've already done MIME crap and we do not want to add extra header to say this is 8bit in pp_title_line(); 0 : we haven't done MIME and we have not seen anything that is 8bit yet; 1 : we haven't done MIME and we have seen something that is 8bit; pp_title_line() must add MIME header. It adds two tests by Jeff King who independently diagnosed this issue. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-03-14rev-parse: fix meaning of rev~ vs rev~0.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-13/+15
I think it would make more sense for rev~ to have the same guarantees that rev^ has, namely to always return a commit. I would also suggest that not giving a number would have the same effect of defaulting to 1, not 0. Right now it's a bit illogical, but at least it's an _undocumented_ illogical behaviour. This patch makes '^' and '~' act the same for the default count (i.e. both default to 1), and also have the same behaviour for a count of zero.
