2005-08-15Keep excellent tutorial for using topic branches by Tony LuckLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+153
I would eventually like to move this to become a part of the tutorial, but anyway, this was an excellent post that describes how topic branches can be used to keep track of local changes.

2005-08-15Add git-show-branches-scriptLibravatar Junio C Hamano4-0/+125
Often I find myself wanting to do quick branches check when I am not in the windowing environment and cannot run gitk. This stupid script shows commits leading to the heads of interesting branches with indication which ones belong to which branches, so that fork point is somewhat discernible without using gitk.

2005-08-15[PATCH] Add some simple howtos, culled from the mailing list.Libravatar Ryan Anderson3-0/+288
I think these are useful, and I think putting them in a new "howto" directory might help some users until we get to the point of splitting up the tutorial to be easier to read. Given the authorship, I think it's safe to put these in the repository. Signed-off-by: Ryan Anderson <ryan@michonline.com>
2005-08-15[PATCH] Fixed/Extended example for update hookLibravatar Josef Weidendorfer1-3/+9

2005-08-15Add cheap local clone '-s' flag to git-clone-scriptLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-15/+26
Using the $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates mechanism, create a new repository that borrows objects from the original repository when --shared flag is given in addition to --local. It is worth pointing out that the "cloned" repository depends on the original repository, so this should be used only when you can reasonably trust that the original repository would not disappear without your knowing.

2005-08-15Alternate object pool mechanism updates.Libravatar Junio C Hamano3-71/+88
It was a mistake to use GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES environment variable to specify what alternate object pools to look for missing objects when working with an object database. It is not a property of the process running the git commands, but a property of the object database that is partial and needs other object pools to complete the set of objects it lacks. This patch allows you to have $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates whose contents is in exactly the same format as the environment variable, to let an object database name alternate object pools it depends on.

2005-08-13[PATCH] plug memory leak in diff.c::diff_free_filepair()Libravatar Yasushi SHOJI3-8/+7
When I run git-diff-tree on big change, it seems the command eats so much memory. so I just put git under valgrind to see what's going on. diff_free_filespec_data() doesn't free diff_filespec itself. [jc: I ended up doing things slightly differently from Yasushi's patch. The original idea was to use free_filespec_data() only to free the data portion and keep useing the filespec itself, but no existing code seems to do things that way, so I just yanked that part out.] Signed-off-by: Yasushi SHOJI <yashi@atmark-techno.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

It seems that the localtime() libc routine doesn't care for finding a TZ that's empty. It's ok with TZ not being set.

2005-08-13[PATCH] fix git-checkout-cache segfault on pariscLibravatar James Bottomley1-1/+2
The index cleanup code is executed via atexit() which is *after* main has completed, so the stack allocated cache_file has gone out of scope. Parisc seems to use stack in the destructor functions, so cache_file gets partially overwritten leading to the predictable disastrous consequences. [jc: Just to make sure, I audited other users of the function hold_index_file_for_update() to make sure they do not have this problem; everybody else uses non-stack cache_file structure and is fine.

2005-08-13[PATCH] Make get_sha1_basic() more carefulLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
The "get_sha1_hex()" function is designed to work with SHA1 hex strings that may be followed by arbitrary crud. However, that's not acceptable for "get_sha1()" which is used for command line arguments etc: we don't want to silently allow random characters after the end of the SHA1. So verify that the hex string is all we have. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-08-13[PATCH] Make sure git-resolve-script always works on commitsLibravatar Linus Torvalds2-9/+5
You can resolve a tag, and it does the right thing except that it might end up writing the tag itself into the resulting HEAD, which will confuse subsequent operations no end. This makes sure that when we resolve two heads, we will have turned them into proper commits before we start acting on them. This also fixes the parsing of "treeish^0", which would incorrectly resolve to "treeish" instead of causing an error.

As brought up in the discussion which followed a patch to add a signed-off-by line with the --sign flag to format-patch from Johannes Schindelin, add --signoff to the git commit command. Also add --verify to make sure the lines you introduced are clean, which is more useful in commit but not very much in format-patch as it was originally implemented, because finding botches at format-patch time is too late.

2005-08-12Make CFLAGS overridable from make command line.Libravatar Pavel Roskin2-25/+28
This patch renames COPTS to CFLAGS, because it's COPTS that was user overridable. Also, -Wall is moved there because it's optional. What was CFLAGS is now ALL_CFLAGS, which users should not override. Defines are added to DEFINES. Since ALL_CFLAGS is recursively expanded, it uses the final value of DEFINES. Implicit rules are made explicit since the implicit rules use CFLAGS rather than ALL_CFLAGS. I believe that serious projects should not rely on implicit rules anyway. Percent rules are used because they are used already and because they don't need the .SUFFIXES target. [jc: in addition to updating the patch for 0.99.4, I fixed up a glitch in Pavel's original patch which compiled sha1.o out of mozilla-sha1/sha1.c, where it should have left the resulting object file in mozilla-sha1 directory for later "ar".] Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

This is a beginning of resurrecting the multi-head pulling support for git-fetch-pack command. The git-fetch-script wrapper still only knows about fetching a single head, without renaming, so it is not very useful unless you directly call git-fetch-pack itself yet. It also fixes a longstanding obsolete description of how the command discovers the list of local commits.

2005-08-11[PATCH] Trapping exit in tests, using return for errors: further fixes.Libravatar Pavel Roskin1-3/+5
"return" from a test would leave the exit trap set, which could cause a spurious error message if it's the last test in the script or --immediate is used. The easiest solution would be to have a global trap that is set when test-lib.sh is sourced and unset either by test_done(), error() or by test_failure_() with --immediate.

2005-08-11[PATCH] Trapping exit in tests, using return for errorsLibravatar Pavel Roskin7-28/+39
I have noticed that "make test" fails without any explanations when the "merge" utility is missing. I don't think tests should be silent in case of failure. It turned out that the particular test was using "exit" to interrupt the test in case of an error. This caused the whole test script to exit. No further tests would be run even if "--immediate" wasn't specified. No error message was printed. This patch does following: All instances of "exit", "exit 1" and "(exit 1)" in tests have been replaced with "return 1". In fact, "(exit 1)" had no effect. File descriptor 5 is duplicated from file descriptor 1. This is needed to print important error messages from tests. New function test_run_() has been introduced. Any "return" in the test would merely cause that function to return without skipping calls to test_failure_() and test_ok_(). The new function also traps "exit" and treats it like a fatal error (in case somebody reintroduces "exit" in the tests). test_expect_failure() and test_expect_success() check both the result of eval and the return value of test_run_(). If the later is not 0, it's always a failure because it indicates the the test didn't complete. Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-08-11[PATCH] Missing test_doneLibravatar Pavel Roskin4-0/+7

2005-08-11[PATCH] Speed up git-merge-base a lotLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-7/+22
In commit 4f7eb2e5a351e0d1f19fd4eab7e92834cc4528c2 I fixed git-merge-base getting confused by datestamps that caused it to traverse things in a non-obvious order. However, my fix was a very brute-force one, and it had some really horrible implications for more complex trees with lots of parallell development. It might end up traversing all the way to the root commit. Now, normally that isn't that horrible: it's used mainly for merging, and the bad cases really tend to happen fairly rarely, so if it takes a few seconds, we're not in too bad shape. However, gitk will also do the git-merge-base for every merge it shows, because it basically re-does the trivial merge in order to show the "interesting" parts. And there we'd really like the result to be instantaneous. This patch does that by walking the tree more completely, and using the same heuristic as git-rev-list to decide "ok, the rest is uninteresting". In one - hopefully fairly extreme - case, it made a git-merge-base go from just under five seconds(!) to a tenth of a second on my machine.

2005-08-11Refine the update heuristic to improve responsiveness a bit.Libravatar Paul Mackerras1-22/+25
The previous commit improved performance a lot but also meant that we waited longer to see something drawn. This refines the heuristics for when to call update so that (1) when we have finished processing a bufferfull of information from git-rev-list, we call update if enough time has elapsed, regardless of how many commits we've drawn, and (2) the number of commits drawn between updates scales with the total number of commits drawn: 1 for 1-99 commits, 10 for 100-9999 commits, or 100 for >= 10000 commits.

2005-08-10Only do an update every 100 commits when drawing the graph.Libravatar Paul Mackerras1-10/+21
On a large repository with > 60,000 commits, each call to the Tk update primitive (which gives Tk a chance to respond to events and redraw the screen) was taking up to 0.2 seconds. Because the logic was to call update after drawing a commit if 0.1 seconds had passed since the last update call, we were calling it for every commit, which was slowing us down enormously. Now we also require that we have drawn 100 commits since the last update (as well as it being at least 0.1 seconds since the last update). Drawing 100 commits takes around 0.1 - 0.2 seconds (even in this large repo) on my G5.
