2011-12-15t3502, t3510: clarify cherry-pick -m failureLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra2-2/+2
The "cherry-pick persists opts correctly" test in t3510 (cherry-pick-sequence) can cause some confusion, because the command actually has two points of failure: 1. "-m 1" is specified on the command-line despite the base commit "initial" not being a merge-commit. 2. The revision range indicates that there will be a conflict that needs to be resolved. Although the former error is trapped, and cherry-pick die()s with the exit status 128, the reader may be distracted by the latter. Fix this by changing the revision range to something that wouldn't cause a conflict. Additionally, explicitly check the exit code in "cherry-pick a non-merge with -m should fail" in t3502 (cherry-pick-merge) to reassure the reader that this failure has nothing to do with the sequencer itself.

2011-12-15t3510 (cherry-pick-sequencer): use exit statusLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-29/+29
All the tests asserting failure use 'test_must_fail', which simply checks for a non-zero exit status, potentially hiding underlying bugs. So, replace instances of 'test_must_fail' with 'test_expect_code' to check the exit status explicitly, where appropriate.

2011-12-15revert: simplify getting commit subject in format_todo()Libravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-5/+5
format_todo() calls get_message(), but uses only the subject line of the commit message. As a minor optimization, save work and unnecessary memory allocations by using find_commit_subject() instead. Also, remove the unnecessary check on cur->item->buffer: the lookup_commit_reference() call in parse_insn_line() has already made sure of this.

2011-12-12revert: do not remove state until sequence is finishedLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-14/+4
As v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~4 (2011-08-04) explains, git cherry-pick removes the sequencer state just before applying the final patch. In the single-pick case, that was a good thing, since --abort and --continue work fine without access to such state and removing it provides a signal that git should not complain about the need to clobber it ("a cherry-pick or revert is already in progress") in sequences like the following: git cherry-pick foo git read-tree -m -u HEAD; # forget that; let's try a different one git cherry-pick bar After the recent patch "allow single-pick in the middle of cherry-pick sequence" we don't need that hack any more. In the new regime, a traditional "git cherry-pick <commit>" command never looks at .git/sequencer, so we do not need to cripple "git cherry-pick <commit>..<commit>" for it any more. So now you can run "git cherry-pick --abort" near the end of a multi-pick sequence and it will abort the entire sequence, instead of misbehaving and aborting just the final commit.

Since 7e2bfd3f (revert: allow cherry-picking more than one commit, 2010-07-02), the pick/revert machinery has kept track of the set of commits to be cherry-picked or reverted using commit_argc and commit_argv variables, storing the corresponding command-line parameters. Future callers as other commands are built in (am, rebase, sequencer) may find it easier to pass rev-list options to this machinery in already-parsed form. Teach cmd_cherry_pick and cmd_revert to parse the rev-list arguments in advance and pass the commit set to pick_revisions() as a rev_info structure.

2011-12-12revert: allow cherry-pick --continue to commit before resumingLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-6/+156
When "git cherry-pick ..bar" encounters conflicts, permit the operator to use cherry-pick --continue after resolving them as a shortcut for "git commit && git cherry-pick --continue" to record the resolution and carry on with the rest of the sequence. This improves the analogy with "git rebase" (in olden days --continue was the way to preserve authorship when a rebase encountered conflicts) and fits well with a general UI goal of making "git cmd --continue" save humans the trouble of deciding what to do next. Example: after encountering a conflict from running "git cherry-pick foo bar baz": CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in main.c error: could not apply f78a8d98c... bar! hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>' hint: and commit the result with 'git commit' We edit main.c to resolve the conflict, mark it acceptable with "git add main.c", and can run "cherry-pick --continue" to resume the sequence. $ git cherry-pick --continue [editor opens to confirm commit message] [master 78c8a8c98] bar! 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) [master 87ca8798c] baz! 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) This is done for both codepaths to pick multiple commits and a single commit.

2011-11-23revert --abort: do not leave behind useless sequencer-old directoryLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-0/+9
The "git cherry-pick --abort" command currently renames the .git/sequencer directory to .git/sequencer-old instead of removing it on success due to an accident. cherry-pick --abort is designed to work in three steps: 1) find which commit to roll back to 2) call "git reset --merge <commit>" to move to that commit 3) remove the .git/sequencer directory But the careless author forgot step 3 entirely. The only reason the command worked anyway is that "git reset --merge <commit>" renames the .git/sequencer directory as a secondary effect --- after moving to <commit>, or so the logic goes, it is unlikely but possible that the caller of git reset wants to continue the series of cherry-picks that was in progress, so git renames the sequencer state to .git/sequencer-old to be helpful while allowing the cherry-pick to be resumed if the caller did not want to end the sequence after all. By running "git cherry-pick --abort", the operator has clearly indicated that she is not planning to continue cherry-picking. Remove the (renamed) .git/sequencer directory as intended all along.

2011-11-22revert: write REVERT_HEAD pseudoref during conflicted revertLibravatar Jonathan Nieder4-3/+61
When conflicts are encountered while reverting a commit, it can be handy to have the name of that commit easily available. For example, to produce a copy of the patch to refer to while resolving conflicts: $ git revert 2eceb2a8 error: could not revert 2eceb2a8... awesome, buggy feature $ git show -R REVERT_HEAD >the-patch $ edit $(git diff --name-only) Set a REVERT_HEAD pseudoref when "git revert" does not make a commit, for cases like this. This also makes it possible for scripts to distinguish between a revert that encountered conflicts and other sources of an unmerged index. After successfully committing, resetting with "git reset", or moving to another commit with "git checkout" or "git reset", the pseudoref is no longer useful, so remove it.

In the spirit of v1.6.3.3~3^2 (refuse to merge during a merge, 2009-07-01), "git cherry-pick" refuses to start a new cherry-pick when in the middle of an existing conflicted cherry-pick in the following sequence: 1. git cherry-pick HEAD..origin 2. resolve conflicts 3. git cherry-pick HEAD..origin (instead of "git cherry-pick --continue", by mistake) Good. However, the error message on attempting step 3 is more convoluted than necessary: $ git cherry-pick HEAD..origin error: .git/sequencer already exists. error: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress. hint: Use --continue to continue the operation hint: or --quit to forget about it fatal: cherry-pick failed Clarify by removing the redundant first "error:" message, simplifying the advice, and using lower-case and no full stops to be consistent with other commands that prefix their messages with "error:", so it becomes error: a cherry-pick or revert is already in progress hint: try "git cherry-pick (--continue | --quit)" fatal: cherry-pick failed The "fatal: cherry-pick failed" line seems unnecessary, too, but that can be fixed some other day.

2011-11-22revert: rename --reset option to --quitLibravatar Jonathan Nieder7-25/+49
The option to "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" to discard the sequencer state introduced by v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~6 (revert: Introduce --reset to remove sequencer state, 2011-08-04) has a confusing name. Change it now, while we still have the time. The new name for "cherry-pick, please get out of my way, since I've long forgotten about the sequence of commits I was cherry-picking when you wrote that old .git/sequencer directory" is --quit. Mnemonic: this is analagous to quiting a program the user is no longer using --- we just want to get out of the multiple-command cherry-pick procedure and not to reset HEAD or rewind any other old state. The "--reset" option is kept as a synonym to minimize the impact. We might consider dropping it for simplicity in a separate patch, though. Adjust documentation and tests to use the newly preferred name (--quit) instead of --reset. While at it, let's clarify the short descriptions of these operations in "-h" output. Before: --reset forget the current operation --continue continue the current operation After: --quit end revert or cherry-pick sequence --continue resume revert or cherry-pick sequence Noticed-by: Phil Hord <phil.hord@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-11-20config.c: Fix a static buffer overwrite bug by avoiding mkpath()Libravatar Ramsay Jones1-2/+2
On cygwin, test number 21 of t3200-branch.sh (git branch -m q q2 without config should succeed) fails. The failure involves the functions from path.c which parcel out internal static buffers from the git_path() and mkpath() functions. In particular, the rename_ref() function calls safe_create_leading\ _directories() with a filename returned by git_path("logs/%s", ref). safe_create_leading_directories(), in turn, calls stat() on each element of the path it is given. On cygwin, this leads to a call to git_config() for each component of the path, since this test explicitly removes the config file. git_config() calls mkpath(), so on the fourth component of the path, the original buffer passed into the function is overwritten with the config filename. Note that this bug is specific to cygwin and it's schizophrenic stat() functions (see commits adbc0b6, 7faee6b and 7974843). The lack of a config file and a path with at least four elements is also important to trigger the bug. In order to fix the problem, we replace the call to mkpath() with a call to mksnpath() and provide our own buffer.

This then results in a "Permission denied" error, like so: ramsay $ ls //home ls: cannot access //home: No such host or network path ramsay $ ls //home/ramsay ls: cannot access //home/ramsay: Permission denied ramsay $ In order to fix the problem, we simply remove the extraneous '/' character from the url.

2011-11-18Makefile: add option to disable automatic dependency generationLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-7/+24
Now that the COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES feature is turned on automatically for compilers that support it (see v1.7.8-rc0~142^2~1, 2011-08-18), there is no easy way to force it off. For example, setting COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES to the empty string in config.mak just tells the makefile to treat it as undefined and run a test command to see if the -MMD option is supported. So allow setting COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES=no to explicitly force the feature off. The new semantics: - "yes" means to explicitly enable the feature - "no" means to disable it - "auto" means to autodetect The default is still "auto". Any value other than these three will cause the build to error out with a descriptive message so typos and stale settings in config.mak don't result in mysterious behavior. Makefile:1278: *** please set COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES to yes, no, or auto (not "1"). Stop. So now when someone using a compiler without -MMD support reports trouble building git, you can reproduce it by running "make COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES=no".

2011-11-16refs: loosen over-strict "format" checkLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-10/+17
The add_extra_ref() interface is used to add an extra-ref that is _not_ our ref for the purpose of helping auto-following of tags and reducing object transfer from remote repository, and they are typically formatted as a tagname followed by ^{} to make sure no valid refs match that pattern. In other words, these entries are deliberately formatted not to pass check-refname-format test. A recent series however added a test unconditionally to the add_ref() function that is called from add_extra_ref(). The check may be sensible for other two callsites of the add_ref() interface, but definitely is a wrong thing to do in add_extra_ref(). Disable it.
