Add a quick paragraph explaining the --topics option for show-branch. The explanation is an abbreviated version of the commit message from d320a5437f8304cf9ea3ee1898e49d643e005738. Signed-off-by: Brian Gernhardt <benji@silverinsanity.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-18make git a bit less cryptic on fetch errorsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre3-3/+3
The remote server might not want to tell why it doesn't like us for security reasons, but let's make the client report such error in a bit less confusing way. The remote failure remains a mystery, but the local message might be a bit less so.

2006-12-17git-fetch: Avoid reading packed refs over and over againLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-10/+62
When checking which tags to fetch, the old code used to call git-show-ref --verify for each remote tag. Since reading even packed refs is not a cheap operation when there are a lot of local refs, the code became quite slow. This fixes it by teaching git-show-ref to filter out existing refs using a new mode of operation of git-show-ref. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-12-17Default GIT_COMMITTER_NAME to login name in recieve-pack.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce3-0/+18
If GIT_COMMITTER_NAME is not available in receive-pack but reflogs are enabled we would normally die out with an error message asking the user to correct their environment settings. Now that reflogs are enabled by default in (what we guessed to be) non-bare Git repositories this may cause problems for some users who don't have their full name in the gecos field and who don't have access to the remote system to correct the problem. So rather than die()'ing out in receive-pack when we try to log a ref change and have no committer name we default to the username, as obtained from the host's password database.

When replacing an existing file A with a directory A that has a file A/B in it in the index, 'update-index --replace --add A/B' did not properly remove the file to make room for the new directory. There was a trivial logic error, most likely a cut & paste one, dating back to quite early days of git. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-17git-add: remove conflicting entry when adding.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
When replacing an existing file A with a directory A that has a file A/B in it in the index, 'git add' did not succeed because it forgot to pass the allow-replace flag to add_cache_entry(). It might be safer to leave this as an error and require the user to explicitly remove the existing A first before adding A/B since it is an unusual case, but doing that automatically is much easier to use.

When you remove a directory D that has a tracked file D/F out of the way to create a file D and try to "git update-index --add D", it used to say "cannot add" which was not very helpful. This issues an extra error message to explain the situation before the final "fatal" message. Since D/F conflicts are relatively rare event, extra verbosity would not make things too noisy.

2006-12-16gitweb: Add "next" link to commit viewLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-9/+29
Add a kind of "next" view in the bottom part of navigation bar for "commit" view, similar to what was added for "commitdiff" view in commit 151602df00b8e5c5b4a8193f59a94b85f9b5aebc 'gitweb: Add "next" link to commitdiff view' For "commit" view for single parent commit: (parent: _commit_) For "commit" view for merge (multi-parent) commit: (merge: _commit_ _commit_ ...) For "commit" view for root (parentless) commit (initial) where _link_ denotes hyperlink. SHA1 of commit is shortened to 7 characters on display. While at it, remove leftovers from commit cae1862a by Petr Baudis: 'gitweb: More per-view navigation bar links' namely the "blame" link if there exist $file_name and commit has a parent; it was added in git_commit probably by mistake. The rest of what mentioned commit added for git_commit was removed in commit 6e0e92fda893311ff5af91836e5007bf6bbd4a21 by Luben Tuikov: 'gitweb: Do not print "log" and "shortlog" redundantly in commit view' (which should have probably removed also this "blame" link removed now).

2006-12-15Align section headers of 'git status' to new 'git add'.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce4-12/+13
Now that 'git add' is considered a first-class UI for 'update-index' and that the 'git add' documentation states "Even modified files must be added to the set of changes about to be committed" we should make the output of 'git status' align with that documentation and common usage. So now we see a status output such as: # Added but not yet committed: # (will commit) # # new file: x # # Changed but not added: # (use "git add file1 file2" to include for commit) # # modified: x # # Untracked files: # (use "git add" on files to include for commit) # # y which just reads better in the context of using 'git add' to manipulate a commit (and not a checkin, whatever the heck that is). We also now support 'color.status.added' as an alias for the existing 'color.status.updated', as this alias more closely aligns with the current output and documentation. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-12-15Suggest use of "git add file1 file2" when there is nothing to commit.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce2-6/+7
If a user modifies files and runs 'git commit' (without the very useful -a option) and they have not yet updated the index they are probably coming from another SCM-like tool which would perform the same as 'git commit -a' in this case. Showing the user their current status and a final line of "nothing to commit" is not very reassuring, as the user might believe that Git did not recognize their files were modified. Instead we can suggest as part of the 'nothing to commit' message that the user invoke 'git add' to add files to their next commit.

For multivars, the "git-repo-config name value ^$" is useful but nonintuitive and troublesome to do repeatedly (since the value is not at the end of the command line).

2006-12-15Enable reflogs by default in any repository with a working directory.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce5-4/+21
New and experienced Git users alike are finding out too late that they forgot to enable reflogs in the current repository, and cannot use the information stored within it to recover from an incorrectly entered command such as `git reset --hard HEAD^^^` when they really meant HEAD^^ (aka HEAD~2). So enable reflogs by default in all future versions of Git, unless the user specifically disables it with: [core] logAllRefUpdates = false in their .git/config or ~/.gitconfig. We only enable reflogs in repositories that have a working directory associated with them, as shared/bare repositories do not have an easy means to prune away old log entries, or may fail logging entirely if the user's gecos information is not valid during a push. This heuristic was suggested on the mailing list by Junio. Documentation was also updated to indicate the new default behavior. We probably should start to teach usuing the reflog to recover from mistakes in some of the tutorial material, as new users are likely to make a few along the way and will feel better knowing they can recover from them quickly and easily, without fsck-objects' lost+found features.

2006-12-15Provide more meaningful output from 'git init-db'.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce4-10/+17
Back in the old days of Git when people messed around with their GIT_DIR environment variable more often it was nice to know whether or not git-init-db created a .git directory or used GIT_DIR. As most users at that time were rather technical UNIXy folk the message "defaulting to local storage area" made sense to some and seemed reasonable. But it doesn't really convey any meaning to the new Git user, as they don't know what a 'local storage area is' nor do they know enough about Git to care. It also really doesn't tell the experienced Git user a whole lot about the command they just ran, especially if they might be reinitializing an existing repository (e.g. to update hooks). So now we print out what we did ("Initialized empty" or "Reinitialized existing"), what type of repository ("" or "shared"), and what location the repository will be in ("$GIT_DIR").

It is nicer to let the user know when a commit succeeded all the time, not only the first time. Also the commit sha1 is much more useful than the tree sha1 in this case.

2006-12-15Avoid accessing a slow working copy during diffcore operations.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce2-3/+28
The Cygwin folks have done a fine job at creating a POSIX layer on Windows That Just Works(tm). However it comes with a penalty; accessing files in the working tree by way of stat/open/mmap can be slower for diffcore than inflating the data from a blob which is stored in a packfile. This performance problem is especially an issue in merge-recursive when dealing with nearly 7000 added files, as we are loading each file's content from the working directory to perform rename detection. I have literally seen (and sadly watched) paint dry in less time than it takes for merge-recursive to finish such a merge. On the other hand this very same merge runs very fast on Solaris. If Git is compiled with NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY set then we will avoid looking at the working directory when the blob in question is available within a packfile and the caller doesn't need the data unpacked into a temporary file. We don't use loose objects as they have the same open/mmap/close costs as the working directory file access, but have the additional CPU overhead of needing to inflate the content before use. So it is still faster to use the working tree file over the loose object. If the caller needs the file data unpacked into a temporary file its likely because they are going to call an external diff program, passing the file as a parameter. In this case reusing the working tree file will be faster as we don't need to inflate the data and write it out to a temporary file. The NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY feature is enabled by default on Cygwin, as that is the platform which currently appears to benefit the most from this option. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Sometimes it is asked on the list how to revert selected path in the index from a tree, most often HEAD, without affecting the files in the working tree. A similar operation that also affects the working tree files has been available in the form of "git checkout <tree> -- <paths>...". By definition --soft would never affect either the index nor the working tree files, and --hard is the way to make the working tree files as close to pristine, so this new option is available only for the default --mixed case.

2006-12-14Bypass expensive content comparsion during rename detection.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+2
When comparing file contents during the second loop through a rename detection attempt we can skip the expensive byte-by-byte comparsion if both source and destination files have valid SHA1 values. This improves performance by avoiding either an expensive open/mmap to read the working tree copy, or an expensive inflate of a blob object. Unfortunately we still have to at least initialize the sizes of the source and destination files even if the SHA1 values don't match. Failing to initialize the sizes causes a number of test cases to fail and start reporting different copy/rename behavior than was expected. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
