2021-02-09mergetool: add per-tool support and overrides for the hideResolved flagLibravatar Seth House1-0/+5
Add a per-tool override flag so that users may enable the flag for one tool and disable it for another by setting `mergetool.<tool>.hideResolved` to `false`. In addition, the author or maintainer of a mergetool may optionally override the default `hideResolved` value for that mergetool. If the `mergetools/<tool>` shell script contains a `hide_resolved_enabled` function it will be called when the mergetool is invoked and the return value will be used as the default for the `hideResolved` flag. hide_resolved_enabled () { return 1 } Disabling may be desirable if the mergetool wants or needs access to the original, unmodified 'LOCAL' and 'REMOTE' versions of the conflicted file. For example: - A tool may use a custom conflict resolution algorithm and prefer to ignore the results of Git's conflict resolution. - A tool may want to visually compare/constrast the version of the file from before the merge (saved to 'LOCAL', 'REMOTE', and 'BASE') with Git's conflict resolution results (saved to 'MERGED').

2021-02-09mergetool: add hideResolved configurationLibravatar Seth House1-0/+10
The purpose of a mergetool is to help the user resolve any conflicts that Git cannot automatically resolve. If there is a conflict that must be resolved manually Git will write a file named MERGED which contains everything Git was able to resolve by itself and also everything that it was not able to resolve wrapped in conflict markers. One way to think of MERGED is as a two- or three-way diff. If each "side" of the conflict markers is separately extracted an external tool can represent those conflicts as a side-by-side diff. However many mergetools instead diff LOCAL and REMOTE both of which contain versions of the file from before the merge. Since the conflicts Git resolved automatically are not present it forces the user to manually re-resolve those conflicts. Some mergetools also show MERGED but often only for reference and not as the focal point to resolve the conflicts. This adds a `mergetool.hideResolved` flag that will overwrite LOCAL and REMOTE with each corresponding "side" of a conflicted file and thus hide all conflicts that Git was able to resolve itself. Overwriting these files will immediately benefit any mergetool that uses them without requiring any changes to the tool. No adverse effects were noted in a small survey of popular mergetools[1] so this behavior defaults to `true`. However it can be globally disabled by setting `mergetool.hideResolved` to `false`.

2021-02-05clone: respect remote unborn HEADLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-1/+1
Teach Git to use the "unborn" feature introduced in a previous patch as follows: Git will always send the "unborn" argument if it is supported by the server. During "git clone", if cloning an empty repository, Git will use the new information to determine the local branch to create. In all other cases, Git will ignore it.

2021-02-05ls-refs: report unborn targets of symrefsLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-0/+9
When cloning, we choose the default branch based on the remote HEAD. But if there is no remote HEAD reported (which could happen if the target of the remote HEAD is unborn), we'll fall back to using our local init.defaultBranch. Traditionally this hasn't been a big deal, because most repos used "master" as the default. But these days it is likely to cause confusion if the server and client implementations choose different values (e.g., if the remote started with "main", we may choose "master" locally, create commits there, and then the user is surprised when they push to "master" and not "main"). To solve this, the remote needs to communicate the target of the HEAD symref, even if it is unborn, and "git clone" needs to use this information. Currently, symrefs that have unborn targets (such as in this case) are not communicated by the protocol. Teach Git to advertise and support the "unborn" feature in "ls-refs" (by default, this is advertised, but server administrators may turn this off through the lsrefs.unborn config). This feature indicates that "ls-refs" supports the "unborn" argument; when it is specified, "ls-refs" will send the HEAD symref with the name of its unborn target. This change is only for protocol v2. A similar change for protocol v0 would require independent protocol design (there being no analogous position to signal support for "unborn") and client-side plumbing of the data required, so the scope of this patch set is limited to protocol v2. The client side will be updated to use this in a subsequent commit. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This is inconsistent with what `git describe --dirty` says when run in the submodule directory in that state. Make `--ignore-submodules=untracked` the default for `git diff` when there is no configuration variable or command line option, so that the command would not give '-dirty' suffix to a submodule whose working tree has untracked files, to make it consistent with `git describe --dirty` that is run in the submodule working tree. And also make `--ignore-submodules=none` the default for `git status` so that the user doesn't end up deleting a submodule that has uncommitted (untracked) files.

2020-11-09format-patch: make output filename configurableLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
For the past 15 years, we've used the hardcoded 64 as the length limit of the filename of the output from the "git format-patch" command. Since the value is shorter than the 80-column terminal, it could grow without line wrapping a bit. At the same time, since the value is longer than half of the 80-column terminal, we could fit two or more of them in "ls" output on such a terminal if we allowed to lower it. Introduce a new command line option --filename-max-length=<n> and a new configuration variable format.filenameMaxLength to override the hardcoded default. While we are at it, remove a check that the name of output directory does not exceed PATH_MAX---this check is pointless in that by the time control reaches the function, the caller would already have done an equivalent of "mkdir -p", so if the system does not like an overly long directory name, the control wouldn't have reached here, and otherwise, we know that the system allowed the output directory to exist. In the worst case, we will get an error when we try to open the output file and handle the error correctly anyway. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-10-20Documentation: stylistically normalize references to Signed-off-by:Libravatar Bradley M. Kuhn1-1/+1
Ted reported an old typo in the git-commit.txt and merge-options.txt. Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a definite nor indefinite article. Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`. First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led to this investigation. So, normalize using either an indefinite or definite article consistently. The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425b (Documentation updates, 2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line". Commit 6f855371a53 (Add --signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former commit to match. Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent. Junio stated on the git mailing list in <xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off the colon. Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option help strings. Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we are not talking about any random line in the log message". As such, prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits. However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in comparison with Signed-off-by.

2020-10-16maintenance: create maintenance.strategy configLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+15
To provide an on-ramp for users to use background maintenance without several 'git config' commands, create a 'maintenance.strategy' config option. Currently, the only important value is 'incremental' which assigns the following schedule: * gc: never * prefetch: hourly * commit-graph: hourly * loose-objects: daily * incremental-repack: daily These tasks are chosen to minimize disruptions to foreground Git commands and use few compute resources. The 'maintenance.strategy' is intended as a baseline that can be customzied further by manually assigning 'maintenance.<task>.enabled' and 'maintenance.<task>.schedule' config options, which will override any recommendation from 'maintenance.strategy'. This operates similarly to config options like 'feature.experimental' which operate as "meta" config options that change default config values. This presents a way forward for updating the 'incremental' strategy in the future or adding new strategies. For example, a potential strategy could be to include a 'full' strategy that runs the 'gc' task weekly and no other tasks by default.

2020-10-01format-patch: teach format.useAutoBase "whenAble" optionLibravatar Jacob Keller1-1/+3
The format.useAutoBase configuration option exists to allow users to enable '--base=auto' for format-patch by default. This can sometimes lead to poor workflow, due to unexpected failures when attempting to format an ancient patch: $ git format-patch -1 <an old commit> fatal: base commit shouldn't be in revision list This can be very confusing, as it is not necessarily immediately obvious that the user requested a --base (since this was in the configuration, not on the command line). We do want --base=auto to fail when it cannot provide a suitable base, as it would be equally confusing if a formatted patch did not include the base information when it was requested. Teach format.useAutoBase a new mode, "whenAble". This mode will cause format-patch to attempt to include a base commit when it can. However, if no valid base commit can be found, then format-patch will continue formatting the patch without a base commit. In order to avoid making yet another branch name unusable with --base, do not teach --base=whenAble or --base=whenable. Instead, refactor the base_commit option to use a callback, and rely on the global configuration variable auto_base. This does mean that a user cannot request this optional base commit generation from the command line. However, this is likely not too valuable. If the user requests base information manually, they will be immediately informed of the failure to acquire a suitable base commit. This allows the user to make an informed choice about whether to continue the format. Add tests to cover the new mode of operation for --base.

That should be a ":", not a second "=". While at it, refer to the placeholder "<n>" as "<n>", not "n" (see, e.g., the entry just before this one). Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren <martin.agren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-09-27config/fmt-merge-msg.txt: drop space in quoteLibravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+1
We document how `merge.suppressDest` can be used to omit " into <branch name>" from the title of the merge message. It is true that we omit the space character before "into", but that lone double quote character risks ending up on the wrong side of a line break, looking a bit out of place. This currently happens with, e.g., 80-character terminals. Drop that leading quoted space. The result should be just as clear about how this option affects the formatted message.

2020-09-25protocol: re-enable v2 protocol by defaultLibravatar Jeff King2-6/+1
Protocol v2 became the default in v2.26.0 via 684ceae32d (fetch: default to protocol version 2, 2019-12-23). More widespread use turned up a regression in negotiation. That was fixed in v2.27.0 via 4fa3f00abb (fetch-pack: in protocol v2, in_vain only after ACK, 2020-04-27), but we also reverted the default to v0 as a precuation in 11c7f2a30b (Revert "fetch: default to protocol version 2", 2020-04-22). In v2.28.0, we re-enabled it for experimental users with 3697caf4b9 (config: let feature.experimental imply protocol.version=2, 2020-05-20) and haven't heard any complaints. v2.28 has only been out for 2 months, but I'd generally expect people turning on feature.experimental to also stay pretty up-to-date. So we're not likely to collect much more data by waiting. In addition, we have no further reports from people running v2.26.0, and of course some people have been setting protocol.version manually for ages. Let's move forward with v2 as the default again. It's possible there are still lurking bugs, but we won't know until it gets more widespread use. And we can find and squash them just like any other bug at this point.
