2009-11-21"rebase --onto A...B" replays history on the merge base between A and BLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+18
This is in spirit similar to "checkout A...B". To re-queue a new set of patches for a series that the original author prepared to apply on 'next' on the same base as before, you would do something like this: $ git checkout next^0 $ git am -s rerolled-series.mbox $ git rebase --onto next...jh/notes next The first two commands recreates commits to be rebased as the original author intended (i.e. applies directly on top of 'next'), and the rebase command replays that history on top of the same commit the series being replaced was built on (which is typically much older than the tip of 'next').

2009-10-18"checkout A...B" switches to the merge base between A and BLibravatar Junio C Hamano4-3/+74
When flipping commits around on topic branches, I often end up doing this sequence: * Run "log --oneline next..jc/frotz" to find out the first commit on 'jc/frotz' branch not yet merged to 'next'; * Run "checkout $that_commit^" to detach HEAD to the parent of it; * Rebuild the series on top of that commit; and * "show-branch jc/frotz HEAD" and "diff jc/frotz HEAD" to verify. Introduce a new syntax to "git checkout" to name the commit to switch to, to make the first two steps easier. When the branch to switch to is specified as A...B (you can omit either A or B but not both, and HEAD is used instead of the omitted side), the merge base between these two commits are computed, and if there is one unique one, we detach the HEAD at that commit. With this, I can say "checkout next...jc/frotz". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-10-21git checkout --no-guessLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
Porcelains may want to make sure their calls to "git checkout" will reliably fail regardless of the presense of random remote tracking branches by the new DWIMmery introduced. Luckily all existing in-tree callers have extra checks to make sure they feed local branch name when they want to switch, or they explicitly ask to detach HEAD at the given commit, so there is no need to add this option for them. As this is strictly script-only option, do not even bother to document it, and do bother to hide it from "git checkout -h". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-10-18DWIM "git checkout frotz" to "git checkout -b frotz origin/frotz"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+57
When 'frotz' is not a valid object name and not a tracked filename, we used to complain and failed this command. When there is only one remote that has 'frotz' as one of its tracking branches, we can DWIM it as a request to create a local branch 'frotz' forking from the matching remote tracking branch.

2009-10-14sha1_file: Fix infinite loop when pack is corruptedLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce2-0/+13
Some types of corruption to a pack may confuse the deflate stream which stores an object. In Andy's reported case a 36 byte region of the pack was overwritten, leading to what appeared to be a valid deflate stream that was trying to produce a result larger than our allocated output buffer could accept. Z_BUF_ERROR is returned from inflate() if either the input buffer needs more input bytes, or the output buffer has run out of space. Previously we only considered the former case, as it meant we needed to move the stream's input buffer to the next window in the pack. We now abort the loop if inflate() returns Z_BUF_ERROR without consuming the entire input buffer it was given, or has filled the entire output buffer but has not yet returned Z_STREAM_END. Either state is a clear indicator that this loop is not working as expected, and should not continue. This problem cannot occur with loose objects as we open the entire loose object as a single buffer and treat Z_BUF_ERROR as an error.

2009-10-14clone: Supply the right commit hash to post-checkout when -b is usedLibravatar Björn Steinbrink2-1/+3
When we use -b <branch>, we may checkout something else than what the remote's HEAD references, but we still used remote_head to supply the new ref value to the post-checkout hook, which is wrong. So instead of using remote_head to find the value to be passed to the post-checkout hook, we have to use our_head_points_at, which is always correctly setup, even if -b is not used. This also fixes a segfault when "clone -b <branch>" is used with a remote repo that doesn't have a valid HEAD, as in such a case remote_head is NULL, but we still tried to access it.

2009-10-12bash completion: complete refs for git-grepLibravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+2
Before the --, always attempt ref completion. This helps with entering the <treeish> arguments to git-grep. As a bonus, you can work around git-grep's current lack of --all by hitting M-*, ugly as the resulting command line may be. Strictly speaking, completing the regular expression argument (or option argument) makes no sense. However, we cannot prevent _all_ completion (it will fall back to filenames), so we dispense with any additional complication to detect whether the user still has to enter a regular expression.

2009-10-09Documentation: clone: clarify discussion of initial branchLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+3
When saying the initial branch is equal to the currently active remote branch, it is probably intended that the branch heads point to the same commit. Maybe it would be more useful to a new user to emphasize that the tree contents and history are the same. More important, probably, is that this new branch is set up so that "git pull" merges changes from the corresponding remote branch. The next paragraph addresses that directly. What the reader needs to know to begin with is that (1) the initial branch is your own; if you do not pull, it won't get updated, and that (2) the initial branch starts out at the same commit as the upstream.

2009-10-09completion: fix alias listings with newlinesLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-2/+6
Aliases with newlines have been a problem since commit 56fc25f (Bash completion support for remotes in .git/config., 2006-11-05). The chance of the problem occurring has been slim at best, until commit 518ef8f (completion: Replace config --list with --get-regexp, 2009-09-11) removed the case statement introduced by commit 56fc25f. Before removing the case statement, most aliases with newlines would work unless they were specially crafted as follows [alias] foo = "log -1 --pretty='format:%s\nalias.error=broken'" After removing the case statement, a more benign alias like [alias] whowhat = "log -1 --pretty='format:%an <%ae>\n%s'" wont-complete = ... would cause the completion to break badly. For now, revert the removal of the case statement until someone comes up with a better way to get keys from git-config. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <bebarino@gmail.com> Acked-by: Shawn O.

After commit 511a3fc (wrap git's main usage string., 2009-09-12), the bash completion for git commands includes COMMAND and [ARGS] when it shouldn't. Fix this by grepping more strictly for a line with git commands. It's doubtful whether git will ever have commands starting with anything besides numbers and letters so this should be fine. At least by being stricter we'll know when we break the completion earlier. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <bebarino@gmail.com> Acked-by: Shawn O.

2009-10-09pull: improve advice for unconfigured error caseLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+12
There are several reasons a git-pull invocation might not have anything marked for merge: 1. We're not on a branch, so there is no branch configuration. 2. We're on a branch, but there is no configuration for this branch. 3. We fetched from the configured remote, but the configured branch to merge didn't get fetched (either it doesn't exist, or wasn't part of the fetch refspec). 4. We fetched from the non-default remote, but didn't specify a branch to merge. We can't use the configured one because it applies to the default remote. 5. We fetched from a specified remote, and a refspec was given, but it ended up not fetching anything (this is actually hard to do; if the refspec points to a remote branch and it doesn't exist, then fetch will fail and we never make it to this code path. But if you provide a wildcard refspec like refs/bogus/*:refs/remotes/origin/* then you can see this failure). We have handled (1) and (2) for some time. Recently, commit a6dbf88 added code to handle case (3). This patch handles cases (4) and (5), which previously just fell under other cases, producing a confusing message. While we're at it, let's rewrap the text for case (3), which looks terribly ugly as it is. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
