2012-09-16git-p4: add submit --conflict option and config varaiableLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-0/+11
This allows specifying what to do when a conflict happens when applying a commit to p4, automating the interactive prompt. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Acked-by: Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-09-16git p4: add submit --prepare-p4-only optionLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-0/+7
This option can be used to prepare the client workspace for submission, only. It does not invoke the final "p4 submit". A message describes how to proceed, either submitting the changes or reverting.

2012-09-16git p4: add submit --dry-run optionLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-0/+4
A new option, "git p4 submit --dry-run" can be used to verify what commits and labels would be moved into p4. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Acked-by: Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-09-16git p4: accept -v for --verboseLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-1/+1
The short form "-v" is common in many git commands as an alias for "--verbose". Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Acked-by: Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-07-05git p4: refactor diffOpts calculationLibravatar Gary Gibbons1-4/+6
P4Submit.applyCommit() To avoid recalculating the same diffOpts for each commit, move it out of applyCommit() and into the top-level run(). Also fix a bug in that code which interpreted the value of detectRenames as a string rather than as a boolean.

2012-04-24git p4: move verbose to base classLibravatar Luke Diamand1-7/+4
The verbose flag is common to all classes, or at least should be. Make it a member of the base Command class, rather than reimplementing for each class. Make option parsing mirror this. Signed-off-by: Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-04-24git p4: fix-up "import/export of labels to/from p4"Libravatar Luke Diamand1-10/+10
The previous one is already in 'next' but was somewhat lacking. The configuration "git-p4.validLabelRegexp" is now called "labelExportRegexp", and its default covers lowercase alphabets as well. Signed-off-by: Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-04-11git p4: import/export of labels to/from p4Libravatar Luke Diamand1-5/+38
The existing label import code looks at each commit being imported, and then checks for labels at that commit. This doesn't work in the real world though because it will drop labels applied on changelists that have already been imported, a common pattern. This change adds a new --import-labels option. With this option, at the end of the sync, git p4 gets sets of labels in p4 and git, and then creates a git tag for each missing p4 label. This means that tags created on older changelists are still imported. Tags that could not be imported are added to an ignore list. The same sets of git and p4 tags and labels can also be used to derive a list of git tags to export to p4. This is enabled with --export-labels in 'git p4 submit'.

2012-04-09git-p4: move to toplevelLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-13/+6
Move git-p4 out of contrib/fast-import into the main code base, aside other foreign SCM tools. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-02-26git-p4: set useClientSpec variable on initial cloneLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-3/+7
If --use-client-spec was given, set the matching configuration variable. This is necessary to ensure that future submits work properly. The alternatives of requiring the user to set it, or providing a command-line option on every submit, are error prone.

2012-02-23git-p4: add initial support for RCS keywordsLibravatar Luke Diamand1-0/+5
RCS keywords cause problems for git-p4 as perforce always expands them (if +k is set) and so when applying the patch, git reports that the files have been modified by both sides, when in fact they haven't. This change means that when git-p4 detects a problem applying a patch, it will check to see if keyword expansion could be the culprit. If it is, it strips the keywords in the p4 repository so that they match what git is expecting. It then has another go at applying the patch. This behaviour is enabled with a new git-p4 configuration option and is off by default.

2012-01-11git-p4: add tests demonstrating spec overlay ambiguitiesLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-0/+5
Introduce new tests that look more closely at overlay situations when there are conflicting files. Five of these are broken. Document the brokenness. This is a fundamental problem with how git-p4 only "borrows" a client spec. At some sync operation, a new change can contain a file which is already in the repo or explicitly deleted through another mapping. To sort this out would involve listing all the files in the client spec to find one with a higher priority. While this is not too hard for the initial import, subsequent sync operations would be very costly. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-12-27git-p4: document and test submit optionsLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-2/+6
Clarify there is a -M option, but no -C. These are both configurable through variables. Explain that the allowSubmit variable takes a comma-separated list of branch names. Catch earlier an invalid branch name given as an argument to "git p4 clone". Test option --origin, variable allowSubmit, and explicit master branch name.

2011-12-27git-p4: test and document --use-client-specLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-1/+4
The depot path is required, even with this option. Make sure git-p4 fails and exits with non-zero. Contents in the specified depot path will be rearranged according to the client spec. Test this and add a note in the docs. Leave an XXX suggesting that this is somewhat confusing behavior that might be good to fix later. Function stripRepoPath() looks at self.useClientSpec. Make sure this is set both for command-line option --use-client-spec and for configuration variable git-p4.useClientSpec. Test this.

2011-12-27git-p4: document and test --import-localLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-1/+3
Explain that it is needed on future syncs to find p4 branches in refs/heads. Test this behavior. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-12-27git-p4: document and test clone --branchLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-1/+9
Clone with --branch will not checkout HEAD, unless the branch happens to be called the default refs/remotes/p4/master. The --branch option is most useful with sync; give an example of that. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-12-27git-p4: test cloning with two dirs, clarify docLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-2/+9
Document how git-p4 currently works when specifying multiple depot paths: 1. No branches or directories are named. 2. Conflicting files are silently ignored---the last change wins. 2. Option --destination is required, else the last path is construed to be a directory. 3. Revision specifiers must be the same on all paths for them to take effect. Test this behavior.
