2010-11-10rebase -X: do not clobber strategyLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-4/+0
If any strategy options are passed to -X, the strategy will always be set to 'recursive'. According to the documentation, it should default to 'recursive' if it is not set, but it should be possible to set it to other values. This fixes a regression introduced in v1.7.3-rc0~67^2 (2010-07-29). Signed-off-by: Martin von Zweigbergk <martin.von.zweigbergk@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-11-09Documentation: document show -sLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-0/+7
Git's diff machinery has supported a -s (silence diff output) option as far back as v0.99~900 (Silent flag for show-diff, 2005-04-13), but the option is only advertised in an odd corner of the git diff-tree manual. The main use is to retrieve basic metadata about a commit: git show -s rev Explain this in the 'git log' manual and provide an example in the 'git show' examples section. This is kind of a cop-out, since it would be more useful to explain it in the 'git show' manual proper, which says: The command takes options applicable to the git diff-tree command to control how the changes the commit introduces are shown. This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. Fixing that is a larger task for another day.

Commit c84de70 (excluded_1(): support exclude files in index - 2009-08-20) tries to work around the fact that there is no directory/file information in index entries, therefore EXC_FLAG_MUSTBEDIR match would fail.

2010-10-06work around buggy S_ISxxx(m) implementationsLibravatar René Scharfe1-3/+10
There are buggy implementations of S_ISxxx(m) macros on some platforms (e.g. NetBSD). The issue is that NetBSD doesn't take care to wrap its macro arguments in parentheses, so on Linux and sane systems we have S_ISREG(m) defined as something like: (((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG) But on NetBSD: ((m & _S_IFMT) == _S_IFREG) Since a caller in builtin/diff.c called our macro as `S_IFREG | 0644' this bug introduced a logic error on NetBSD, since the precedence of bit-wise & is higher than | in C.

2010-10-06xdiff: cast arguments for ctype functions to unsigned charLibravatar Jonathan Nieder3-10/+11
The ctype functions isspace(), isalnum(), et al take an integer argument representing an unsigned character, or -1 for EOF. On platforms with a signed char, it is unsafe to pass a char to them without casting it to unsigned char first. Most of git is already shielded against this by the ctype implementation in git-compat-util.h, but xdiff, which uses libc ctype.h, ought to be fixed.

2010-10-03setup: make sure git dir path is in a permanent bufferLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+3
If setup_git_env() is run before the usual repository discovery sequence and .git is a file with the text gitdir: <path> (with <path> any string) then the in-core git_dir variable is set to the result of converting <path> to an absolute path using make_absolute_path(). Unfortunately make_absolute_path() returns its result in a static buffer that is overwritten by later calls. Such a call could cause later accesses to git_dir (from git_pathdup(), for example) to read the wrong path, leaving git very confused. It is not obvious whether any existing code in git will trigger the problem, but in any case, it is worth a few dozen bytes to copy the return value from make_absolute_path() for some added peace of mind.
