2007-03-10git-branch, git-checkout: autosetup for remote branch trackingLibravatar Paolo Bonzini1-1/+8
In order to track and build on top of a branch 'topic' you track from your upstream repository, you often would end up doing this sequence: git checkout -b mytopic origin/topic git config --add branch.mytopic.remote origin git config --add branch.mytopic.merge refs/heads/topic This would first fork your own 'mytopic' branch from the 'topic' branch you track from the 'origin' repository; then it would set up two configuration variables so that 'git pull' without parameters does the right thing while you are on your own 'mytopic' branch. This commit adds a --track option to git-branch, so that "git branch --track mytopic origin/topic" performs the latter two actions when creating your 'mytopic' branch. If the configuration variable branch.autosetupmerge is set to true, you do not have to pass the --track option explicitly; further patches in this series allow setting the variable with a "git remote add" option. The configuration variable is off by default, and there is a --no-track option to countermand it even if the variable is set.

Added color.branch and color.branch.<slot> to configuration list. Style copied from color.status and meanings derived from the code. Moved the color meanings from color.diff.<slot> to color.branch.<slot> since the latter comes first alphabetically. Added --color and --no-color to git-branch's usage and documentation.

2006-12-05git-branch: add options and tests for branch renamingLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-2/+21
Extend git-branch with the following options: git-branch -m|-M [<oldbranch>] newbranch The -M variation is required to force renaming over an exsisting branchname. This also indroduces $GIT_DIR/RENAME_REF which is a "metabranch" used when renaming branches. It will always hold the original sha1 for the latest renamed branch. Additionally, if $GIT_DIR/logs/RENAME_REF exists, all branch rename events are logged there. Finally, some testcases are added to verify the new options.

2006-11-21Add support to git-branch to show local and remote branchesLibravatar Andy Parkins1-3/+8
Instead of storing a list of refnames in append_ref, a list of structures is created. Each of these stores the refname and a symbolic constant representing its type. The creation of the list is filtered based on a command line switch; no switch means "local branches only", "-r" means "remote branches only" (as they always did); but now "-a" means "local branches or remote branches". As a side effect, the list is now not global, but allocated in print_ref_list() where it used. Also a memory leak is plugged, the memory allocated during the list creation was never freed. It lays a groundwork to also display tags, but the command being 'git branch' it is not currently used.

2006-05-23Merge branch 'sp/reflog' into nextLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+8
* sp/reflog: Enable ref log creation in git checkout -b. Create/delete branch ref logs. Include ref log detail in commit, reset, etc. Change order of -m option to update-ref. Correct force_write bug in refs.c Change 'master@noon' syntax to 'master@{noon}'. Log ref updates made by fetch. Force writing ref if it doesn't exist. Added logs/ directory to repository layout. General ref log reading improvements. Fix ref log parsing so it works properly. Support 'master@2 hours ago' syntax Log ref updates to logs/refs/<ref> Convert update-ref to use ref_lock API. Improve abstraction of ref lock/write.

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+39
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
