This is the "theoretically more correct" approach of simply stepping back to the state before plumbing commands started paying attention to "color.ui" configuration variable. Let's run with this one. * jk/ref-filter-colors-fix: tag: respect color.ui config Revert "color: check color.ui in git_default_config()" Revert "t6006: drop "always" color config tests" Revert "color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config"
2017-10-17Revert "color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config"Libravatar Jeff King1-17/+18
This reverts commit 6be4595edb8e5b616c6e8b9fbc78b0f831fa2a87. That commit weakened the "always" setting of color config so that it acted as "auto". This was meant to solve regressions in v2.14.2 in which setting "color.ui=always" in the on-disk config broke scripts like add--interactive, because the plumbing diff commands began to generate color output. This was due to 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which was in turn trying to fix issues caused by 4c7f1819b3 (make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10). But in weakening "always", we created even more problems, as people expect to be able to use "git -c color.ui=always" to force color (especially because some commands don't have their own --color flag). We can fix that by special-casing the command-line "-c", but now things are getting pretty confusing. Instead of piling hacks upon hacks, let's start peeling off the hacks. The first step is dropping the weakening of "always", which this revert does. Note that we could actually revert the whole series merged in by da15b78e52642bd45fd5513ab0000fdf2e58a6f4. Most of that series consists of preparations to the tests to handle the weakening of "-c color.ui=always". But it's worth keeping for a few reasons: - there are some other preparatory cleanups, like e433749d86 (test-terminal: set TERM=vt100, 2017-10-03) - it adds "--color" options more consistently in 0c88bf5050 (provide --color option for all ref-filter users, 2017-10-03) - some of the cases dropping "-c" end up being more robust and realistic tests, as in 01c94e9001 (t7508: use test_terminal for color output, 2017-10-03) - the preferred tool for overriding config is "--color", and we should be modeling that consistently We can individually revert the few commits necessary to restore some useful tests (which will be done on top of this patch). Note that this isn't a pure revert; we'll keep the test added in t3701, but mark it as failure for now. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-10-04color: make "always" the same as "auto" in configLibravatar Jeff King1-18/+17
It can be handy to use `--color=always` (or it's synonym `--color`) on the command-line to convince a command to produce color even if it's stdout isn't going to the terminal or a pager. What's less clear is whether it makes sense to set config variables like color.ui to `always`. For a one-shot like: git -c color.ui=always ... it's potentially useful (especially if the command doesn't directly support the `--color` option). But setting `always` in your on-disk config is much muddier, as you may be surprised when piped commands generate colors (and send them to whatever is consuming the pipe downstream). Some people have done this anyway, because: 1. The documentation for color.ui makes it sound like using `always` is a good idea, when you almost certainly want `auto`. 2. Traditionally not every command (and especially not plumbing) respected color.ui in the first place. So the confusion came up less frequently than it might have. The situation changed in 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which negated point (2): now scripts using only plumbing commands (like add-interactive) are broken by this setting. That commit was fixing real issues (e.g., by making `color.ui=never` work, since `auto` is the default), so we don't want to just revert it. We could turn `always` into a noop in plumbing commands, but that creates a hard-to-explain inconsistency between the plumbing and other commands. Instead, let's just turn `always` into `auto` for all config. This does break the "one-shot" config shown above, but again, we're probably better to have simple and consistent rules than to try to special-case command-line config. There is one place where `always` should retain its meaning: on the command line, `--color=always` should continue to be the same as `--color`, overriding any isatty checks. Since the command-line parser also depends on git_config_colorbool(), we can use the existence of the "var" string to deterine whether we are serving the command-line or the config.

2017-09-24Documentation/config: clarify the meaning of submodule.<name>.updateLibravatar Stefan Beller1-4/+8
With more commands (that potentially change a submodule) paying attention to submodules as well as the recent discussion[1] on submodule.<name>.update, let's spell out that submodule.<name>.update is strictly to be used for configuring the "submodule update" command and not to be obeyed by other commands. These other commands usually have a strict meaning of what they should do (i.e. checkout, reset, rebase, merge) as well as have their name overlapping with the modes possible for submodule.<name>.update. [1] https://public-inbox.org/git/4283F0B0-BC1C-4ED1-8126-7E512D84484B@gmail.com/ submodule.<name>.update was set to "none", triggering unexpected behavior as the submodule was thought to never be touched. However a newer version of Git taught 'git pull --rebase' to also populate and rebase submodules if they were active. The newer options such as submodule.active and command specific flags would not have triggered unexpected behavior.

2017-08-23refs: retry acquiring reference locks for 100msLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-0/+6
The philosophy of reference locking has been, "if another process is changing a reference, then whatever I'm trying to do to it will probably fail anyway because my old-SHA-1 value is probably no longer current". But this argument falls down if the other process has locked the reference to do something that doesn't actually change the value of the reference, such as `pack-refs` or `reflog expire`. There actually *is* a decent chance that a planned reference update will still be able to go through after the other process has released the lock. So when trying to lock an individual reference (e.g., when creating "refs/heads/master.lock"), if it is already locked, then retry the lock acquisition for approximately 100 ms before giving up. This should eliminate some unnecessary lock conflicts without wasting a lot of time. Add a configuration setting, `core.filesRefLockTimeout`, to allow this setting to be tweaked. Note: the function `get_files_ref_lock_timeout_ms()` cannot be private to the files backend because it is also used by `write_pseudoref()` and `delete_pseudoref()`, which are defined in `refs.c` so that they can be used by other reference backends.

2017-08-22rerere: allow approxidate in gc.rerereResolved/gc.rerereUnresolvedLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
These two configuration variables are described in the documentation to take an expiry period expressed in the number of days: gc.rerereResolved:: Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run. The default is 60 days. gc.rerereUnresolved:: Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run. The default is 15 days. There is no strong reason not to allow a more general "approxidate" expiry specification, e.g. "5.days.ago", or "never". Rename the config_get_expiry() helper introduced in the previous step to git_config_get_expiry_in_days() and move it to a more generic place, config.c, and use date.c::parse_expiry_date() to do so. Give it an ability to allow the caller to tell among three cases (i.e. there is no "gc.rerereResolved" config, there is and it is correctly parsed into the *expiry variable, and there was an error in parsing the given value). The current caller can work correctly without using the return value, though. In the future, we may find other variables that only allow an integer that specifies "this many days" or other unit of time, and when it happens we may need to drop "_days" suffix from the name of the function and instead pass the "scale" value as another parameter. But this will do for now. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Some email servers (e.g. smtp.163.com) limit the number emails to be sent per session (connection) and this will lead to a faliure when sending many messages. Teach send-email to disconnect after sending a number of messages (configurable via the --batch-size=<num> option), wait for a few seconds (configurable via the --relogin-delay=<seconds> option) and reconnect, to work around such a limit. Also add two configuration variables to give these options the default. Note: We will use this as a band-aid for now, but in the longer term, we should look at and react to the SMTP error code from the server; Xianqiang reports that 450 and 451 are returned by problematic servers. cf. https://public-inbox.org/git/7993e188.d18d.15c3560bcaf.Coremail.zxq_yx_007@163.com/ Signed-off-by: xiaoqiang zhao <zxq_yx_007@163.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-06-15add: warn when adding an embedded repositoryLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
It's an easy mistake to add a repository inside another repository, like: git clone $url git add . The resulting entry is a gitlink, but there's no matching .gitmodules entry. Trying to use "submodule init" (or clone with --recursive) doesn't do anything useful. Prior to v2.13, such an entry caused git-submodule to barf entirely. In v2.13, the entry is considered "inactive" and quietly ignored. Either way, no clone of your repository can do anything useful with the gitlink without the user manually adding the submodule config. In most cases, the user probably meant to either add a real submodule, or they forgot to put the embedded repository in their .gitignore file. Let's issue a warning when we see this case. There are a few things to note: - the warning will go in the git-add porcelain; anybody wanting to do low-level manipulation of the index is welcome to create whatever funny states they want. - we detect the case by looking for a newly added gitlink; updates via "git add submodule" are perfectly reasonable, and this avoids us having to investigate .gitmodules entirely - there's a command-line option to suppress the warning. This is needed for git-submodule itself (which adds the entry before adding any submodule config), but also provides a mechanism for other scripts doing submodule-like things. We could make this a hard error instead of a warning. However, we do add lots of sub-repos in our test suite. It's not _wrong_ to do so. It just creates a state where users may be surprised. Pointing them in the right direction with a gentle hint is probably the best option. There is a config knob that can disable the (long) hint. But I intentionally omitted a config knob to disable the warning entirely. Whether the warning is sensible or not is generally about context, not about the user's preferences. If there's a tool or workflow that adds gitlinks without matching .gitmodules, it should probably be taught about the new command-line option, rather than blanket-disabling the warning.

2017-05-17config: match both symlink & realpath versions in IncludeIf.gitdir:*Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+10
Change the conditional inclusion mechanism to support e.g. gitdir:~/git_tree/repo where ~/git_tree is a symlink to /mnt/stuff/repo. This worked in the initial version of this facility[1], but regressed later in the series while solving a related bug[2]. Now gitdir: will match against the symlinked path (e.g. gitdir:~/git_tree/repo) in addition to the current /mnt/stuff/repo path. Since this is already in a release version note in the documentation that this behavior changed, so users who expect their configuration to work on both v2.13.0 and some future version of git with this fix aren't utterly confused. 1. commit 3efd0bedc6 ("config: add conditional include", 2017-03-01) 2. commit 86f9515708 ("config: resolve symlinks in conditional include's patterns", 2017-04-05) Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
