2007-06-02Create a new manpage for the gitignore format, and reference it elsewhereLibravatar Josh Triplett8-101/+145
Only git-ls-files(1) describes the gitignore format in detail, and it does so with reference to git-ls-files options. Most users don't use the plumbing command git-ls-files directly, and shouldn't have to look in its manpage for information on the gitignore format. Create a new manpage gitignore(5) (Documentation/gitignore.txt), and factor out the gitignore documentation into that file, changing it to refer to .gitignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude as used by porcelain commands. Reference gitignore(5) from other relevant manpages and documentation. Remove now-redundant information on exclude patterns from git-ls-files(1), leaving only information on how git-ls-files options specify exclude patterns and what precedence they have.

Make hexval_table[] "const". Also make sure that the accessor function hexval() does not access the table with out-of-range values by declaring its parameter "unsigned char", instead of "unsigned int". With this, gcc can just generate: movzbl (%rdi), %eax movsbl hexval_table(%rax),%edx movzbl 1(%rdi), %eax movsbl hexval_table(%rax),%eax sall $4, %edx orl %eax, %edx for the code to generate a byte from two hex characters.

Reasonably new versions of the cvs CLI client allow one to specifiy CVS_SERVER as a method variable directly in CVSROOT. This is way more convinient than using an environment variable since it gets saved in CVS/Root.

There's no point in calculating an MD5 if we're not going to use it. We'll also avoid the possibility of there being a bug in the Perl MD5 library not being able to handle zero-sized files. This is a followup to 20b3d206acbbb042c7ad5f42d36ff8d036a538c5, which allows us to track repositories that do not provide MD5 checksums.

Johannes Sixt asked me to try to avoid embedding the runtime location of git-gui's library directory in the executable script. Not embedding it helps the MinGW to be relocatable to another directory should a user wish to install the programs in a directory other than the location the packager wanted them to be installed into. Most of this is a hack. We try to determine if the path of our master git-gui script will be able to locate the lib by ../share/git-gui/lib. This should be true if $(gitexecdir) and $(libdir) have the same prefix. If they do then we defer the assignment of $(libdir) until runtime, and we get it from $argv0 rather than embedding it into the script itself. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2007-05-26Fix mishandling of $Id$ expanded in the repository copy in convert.cLibravatar Andy Parkins1-2/+37
If the repository contained an expanded ident keyword (i.e. $Id:XXXX$), then the wrong bytes were discarded, and the Id keyword was not expanded. The fault was in convert.c:ident_to_worktree(). Previously, when a "$Id:" was found in the repository version, ident_to_worktree() would search for the next "$" after this, and discarded everything it found until then. That was done with the loop: do { ch = *cp++; if (ch == '$') break; rem--; } while (rem); The above loop left cp pointing one character _after_ the final "$" (because of ch = *cp++). This was different from the non-expanded case, were cp is left pointing at the "$", and was different from the comment which stated "discard up to but not including the closing $". This patch fixes that by making the loop: do { ch = *cp; if (ch == '$') break; cp++; rem--; } while (rem); That is, cp is tested _then_ incremented. This loop exits if it finds a "$" or if it runs out of bytes in the source. After this loop, if there was no closing "$" the expansion is skipped, and the outer loop is allowed to continue leaving this non-keyword as it was. However, when the "$" is found, size is corrected, before running the expansion: size -= (cp - src); This is wrong; size is going to be corrected anyway after the expansion, so there is no need to do it here. This patch removes that redundant correction. To help find this bug, I heavily commented the routine; those comments are included here as a bonus.

2007-05-25git-am: use printf instead of echo on user-supplied stringsLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Under some implementations of echo (such as that provided by dash), backslash escapes are recognized without any other options. This means that echo-ing user-supplied strings may cause any backslash sequences in them to be converted. Using printf resolves the ambiguity. This bug can be seen when using git-am to apply a patch whose subject contains the character sequence "\n"; the characters are converted to a literal newline. Noticed by Szekeres Istvan.

2007-05-24name-rev: tolerate clock skew in committer datesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
In git.git repository, "git-name-rev v1.3.0~158" cannot name the rev, while adjacent revs can be named. This was because it gives up traversal from the tips of existing refs as soon as it sees a commit that has older commit timestamp than what is being named. This is usually a good heuristics, but v1.3.0~158 has a slightly older commit timestamp than v1.3.0~157 (i.e. it's child), as these two were made in a separate repostiory (in fact, in a different continent). This adds a hardcoded slop value (1 day) to the cut-off heuristics to work this kind of problem around. The current algorithm essentially runs around from the available tips down to ancient commits and names every single rev available that are newer than cut-off date, so a single day slop would not add that much overhead in repositories with long enough history where the performance of name-rev matters. I think the algorithm could be made a bit smarter by deepening the graph on demand as a new commit is asked to be named (this would require rewriting of name_rev() function not to recurse itself but use a traversal list like revision.c traverser does), but that would be a separate issue.

A few new configuration options grew out of the woodwork during the 1.5.2 series. Most of these are pretty easy to support a completion of, so we do so. I wanted to also add completion support for the <driver> part of merge.<driver>.name but to do that we have to look at all of the .gitattributes files and guess what the unique set of <driver> strings would be. Since this appears to be non-trivial I'm punting on it at this time. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-05-24Teach bash completion about recent log long optionsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-2/+2
(Somewhat) recently git-log learned about --reverse (to show commits in the opposite order) and a looong time ago I think it learned about --raw (to show the raw diff, rather than a unified diff).

Recently the git-remote command grew an update subcommand, which can be used to execute git-fetch across multiple repositories in a single step.

When e8438420bb7d368bec3647b90c557b9931582267 allowed us to reload the marks table on subsequent runs of fast-import we really broke things, as we set pack_id to MAX_PACK_ID for any objects we imported into the marks table. Creating a branch from that mark should fail as we attempt to read the object through a non-existant packed_git pointer. Instead we have to use the normal Git object system to locate the older commit, as we ourselves do not have a reference to the packed_git it resides in. This bug only occurred because t9300 was not complete enough. When we added the --import-marks feature we didn't actually test its implementation enough to verify the function worked as intended. I have corrected that, and included the changes as part of this fix. Prior versions of fast-import fail the new test(s); this commit allows them to pass. Credit for this bug find goes to Simon Hausmann <simon@lst.de> as he recently identified a similiar bug in the tree lazy-loading path. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
