2007-01-28git-blame --incremental: don't use pagerLibravatar Ren,Ai(B Scharfe2-1/+4
Starting a pager defeats the purpose of the incremental output mode. This changes git-blame to only paginate if --incremental was not given. git -p blame --incremental still starts the pager, though.

2007-01-28Compute accurate distances in git-describe before output.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+41
My prior change to git-describe attempts to print the distance between the input commit and the best matching tag, but this distance was usually only an estimate as we always aborted revision walking as soon as we overflowed the configured limit on the number of possible tags (as set by --candidates). Displaying an estimated distance is not very useful and can just be downright confusing. Most users (heck, most Git developers) don't immediately understand why this distance differs from the output of common tools such as `git rev-list | wc -l`. Even worse, the estimated distance could change in the future (including decreasing despite no rebase occuring) if we find more possible tags earlier on during traversal. (This could happen if more tags are merged into the branch between queries.) These factors basically make an estimated distance useless. Fortunately we are usually most of the way through an accurate distance computation by the time we abort (due to reaching the current --candidates limit). This means we can simply finish counting out the revisions still in our commit queue to present the accurate distance at the end. The number of commits remaining in the commit queue is probably less than the number of commits already traversed, so finishing out the count is not likely to take very long. This final distance will then always match the output of `git rev-list | wc -l`. We can easily reduce the total number of commits that need to be walked at the end by stopping as soon as all of the commits in the commit queue are flagged as being merged into the already selected best possible tag. If that's true then there are no remaining unseen commits which can contribute to our best possible tag's depth counter, so further traversal is useless. Basic testing on my Mac OS X system shows there is no noticable performance difference between this accurate distance counting version of git-describe and the prior version of git-describe, at least when run on git.git.

2007-01-28Teach git-describe to display distances from tags.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+3
If you get two different describes at different times from a non-rewinding branch and they both come up with the same tag name, you can tell which is the 'newer' one by distance. This is rather common in practice, so its incredibly useful. [jc: still needs documentation and fixups when traversal gives up early.] Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-01-28git-blame --porcelain: quote filename in c-style when needed.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+10
Otherwise a pathname that has funny characters such as LF would screw up the parsing programs of the output. Strictly speaking, this is not backward compatible, but the current output for pathnames that have embedded LF and such cannot be sanely parsed anyway, and pathnames that only use characters from the portable pathname character set won't be affected.

2007-01-28git-blame --incrementalLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-66/+107
This adds --incremental option to help GUI porcelains to show the result from git-blame incrementally. The output gives the origin information in the same format as the porcelain format. The first line has commit object name, the line number of the first line in the group in the original file, the line number of that file in the final image, and number of lines in the group. Then subsequent lines show the metainformation for the commit when the commit is shown for the first time, except the filename information is always shown (we cannot even make it conditional to -C option as blame always follows the renaming of the file wholesale).

2007-01-28Don't force everybody to call setup_ident().Libravatar Junio C Hamano13-28/+35
Back when only handful commands that created commit and tag were the only users of committer identity information, it made sense to explicitly call setup_ident() to pre-fill the default value from the gecos information. But it is much simpler for programs to make the call automatic when get_ident() is called these days, since many more programs want to use the information when updating the reflog.

2007-01-27Allow the tag signing key to be specified in the config fileLibravatar Andy Parkins3-2/+21
I did this: $ git tag -s test-sign gpg: skipped "Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>": secret key not available gpg: signing failed: secret key not available failed to sign the tag with GPG. The problem is that I have used the comment field in my key's UID definition. $ gpg --list-keys andy pub 1024D/4F712F6D 2003-08-14 uid Andy Parkins (Google) <andyparkins@gmail.com> So when git-tag looks for "Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>"; obviously it's not going to be found. There shouldn't be a requirement that I use the same form of my name in my git repository and my gpg key - I might want to be formal (Andrew) in my gpg key and informal (Andy) in the repository. Further I might have multiple keys in my keyring, and might want to use one that doesn't match up with the address I use in commit messages. This patch adds a configuration entry "user.signingkey" which, if present, will be passed to the "-u" switch for gpg, allowing the tag signing key to be overridden. If the entry is not present, the fallback is the original method, which means existing behaviour will continue untouched.

2007-01-26If abbrev is set to zero in git-describe, don't add the unique suffixLibravatar Andy Parkins1-3/+6
When on a non-tag commit, git-describe normally outputs descriptions of the form v1.0.0-g1234567890 Some scripts (for example the update hook script) might just want to know the name of the nearest tag, so they then have to do x=$(git-describe HEAD | sed 's/-g*//') This is costly, but more importantly is fragile as it is relying on the output format of git-describe, which we would then have to maintain forever. This patch adds support for setting the --abbrev option to zero. In that case git-describe does as it always has, but outputs only the nearest found tag instead of a completely unique name. This means that scripts would not have to parse the output format and won't need changing if the git-describe suffix is ever changed.

Currently, the vc-git-checkout function uses `git checkout' to fetch a file from the git repository to the working copy.

2007-01-25diffcore-pickaxe: fix infinite loop on zero-length needleLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
The "contains" algorithm runs into an infinite loop if the needle string has zero length. The loop could be modified to handle this, but it makes more sense to simply have an empty needle return no matches. Thus, a command like git log -S produces no output. We place the check at the top of the function so that we get the same results with or without --pickaxe-regex. Note that until now, git log -S --pickaxe-regex would match everything, not nothing. Arguably, an empty pickaxe string should simply produce an error message; however, this is still a useful assertion to add to the algorithm at this layer of the code. Noticed by Bill Lear.

2007-01-25Allow non-developer to clone, checkout and fetch more easily.Libravatar Junio C Hamano5-22/+13
The code that uses committer_info() in reflog can barf and die whenever it is asked to update a ref. And I do not think calling ignore_missing_committer_name() upfront like recent receive-pack did in the aplication is a reasonable workaround. What the patch does. - git_committer_info() takes one parameter. It used to be "if this is true, then die() if the name is not available due to bad GECOS, otherwise issue a warning once but leave the name empty". The reason was because we wanted to prevent bad commits from being made by git-commit-tree (and its callers). The value 0 is only used by "git var -l". Now it takes -1, 0 or 1. When set to -1, it does not complain but uses the pw->pw_name when name is not available. Existing 0 and 1 values mean the same thing as they used to mean before. 0 means issue warnings and leave it empty, 1 means barf and die. - ignore_missing_committer_name() and its existing caller (receive-pack, to set the reflog) have been removed. - git-format-patch, to come up with the phoney message ID when asked to thread, now passes -1 to git_committer_info(). This codepath uses only the e-mail part, ignoring the name. It used to barf and die. The other call in the same program when asked to add signed-off-by line based on committer identity still passes 1 to make sure it barfs instead of adding a bogus s-o-b line. - log_ref_write in refs.c, to come up with the name to record who initiated the ref update in the reflog, passes -1. It used to barf and die. The last change means that git-update-ref, git-branch, and commit walker backends can now be used in a repository with reflog by somebody who does not have the user identity required to make a commit. They all used to barf and die. I've run tests and all of them seem to pass, and also tried "git clone" as a user whose GECOS is empty -- git clone works again now (it was broken when reflog was enabled by default). But this definitely needs extra sets of eyeballs. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Do *NOT* try this on a repository you care about: git pack-refs --all --prune git pack-refs because while the first "pack-refs" does the right thing, the second pack-refs will totally screw you over.

2007-01-24New files in git weren't being downloaded during CVS updateLibravatar Andy Parkins1-3/+3
If a repository was checked out via git-cvsserver and then later a new file is added to the git repository via some other method; a CVS update wasn't fetching the new file. It would be reported as a new file as A some/dir/newfile.c but would never appear in the directory. The problem seems to be that git-cvsserver was treating these two cases identically, as "A" type results. 1. New file in repository 2. New file locally In fact, traditionally, case 1 is treated as a "U" result, and case 2 only is treated as an "A" result. "A", should just report that the file is added locally and then skip that file during an update as there is (of course) nothing to send. In both these cases there is no working revision, so the checking for "is there no working revision" will return true. The test for case 2 needs refining to say "if there is no working revision and no upstream revision". This patch does just that, leaving case 1 to be handled by the normal "U" handler. I've also updated the log message to more accurately describe the operation. i.e. that "A" means that content is scheduled for addition; not that it actually has been added.

2007-01-24fetch-pack: remove --keep-auto and make it the default.Libravatar Junio C Hamano3-15/+29
This makes git-fetch over git native protocol to automatically decide to keep the downloaded pack if the fetch results in more than 100 objects, just like receive-pack invoked by git-push does. This logic is disabled when --keep is explicitly given from the command line, so that a very small clone still keeps the downloaded pack as before. The 100 threshold can be adjusted with fetch.unpacklimit configuration.
