2016-07-28Merge branch 'nd/worktree-lock'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+30
"git worktree prune" protected worktrees that are marked as "locked" by creating a file in a known location. "git worktree" command learned a dedicated command pair to create and remove such a file, so that the users do not have to do this with editor. * nd/worktree-lock: worktree.c: find_worktree() search by path suffix worktree: add "unlock" command worktree: add "lock" command worktree.c: add is_worktree_locked() worktree.c: add is_main_worktree() worktree.c: add find_worktree()
2016-07-08worktree.c: find_worktree() search by path suffixLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+5
This allows the user to do something like "worktree lock foo" or "worktree lock to/foo" instead of "worktree lock /long/path/to/foo" if it's unambiguous. With completion support it could be quite convenient. While this base name search can be done in the same worktree iteration loop, the code is split into a separate function for clarity.

2016-07-06Merge branch 'nd/worktree-cleanup-post-head-protection'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+5
Further preparatory clean-up for "worktree" feature continues. * nd/worktree-cleanup-post-head-protection: worktree: simplify prefixing paths worktree: avoid 0{40}, too many zeroes, hard to read worktree.c: use is_dot_or_dotdot() git-worktree.txt: keep subcommand listing in alphabetical order worktree.c: rewrite mark_current_worktree() to avoid strbuf completion: support git-worktree
2016-05-31worktree: allow "-" short-hand for @{-1} in add commandLibravatar Jordan DE GEA1-1/+2
Since `git worktree add` uses `git checkout` when `[<branch>]` is used, and `git checkout -` is already supported, it makes sense to allow the same shortcut in `git worktree add`.

2016-05-24git-worktree.txt: keep subcommand listing in alphabetical orderLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-5/+5
This is probably not the best order. But it makes it no-brainer to know where to insert new commands. At some point we might want to reorder at least the synopsis part again, grouping commonly use subcommands together.

By adding this option which defaults to true, we can use the corresponding --no-checkout to make some customizations before the checkout, like sparse checkout, etc. Helped-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Helped-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Ray Zhang <zhanglei002@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-01-22worktree: stop supporting moving worktrees manuallyLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-5/+10
The current update_linked_gitdir() has a bug that can create "gitdir" file in non-multi-worktree setup. Worse, sometimes it can write relative path to "gitdir" file, which will not work (e.g. "git worktree list" will display the worktree's location incorrectly) Instead of fixing this, we step back a bit. The original design was probably not well thought out. For now, if the user manually moves a worktree, they have to fix up "gitdir" file manually or the worktree will get pruned.

2015-07-07worktree: add: auto-vivify new branch when <branch> is omittedLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-2/+6
As a convenience, when <branch> is omitted from "git worktree <path> <branch>" and neither -b nor -B is used, automatically create a new branch named after <path>, as if "-b $(basename <path>)" was specified. Thus, "git worktree add ../hotfix" creates a new branch named "hotfix" and associates it with new worktree "../hotfix".

One of git-worktree's roles is to populate the new worktree, much like git-checkout, and thus, for convenience, ought to support several of the same shortcuts.

2015-07-06worktree: introduce "add" commandLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-10/+10
The plan is to relocate "git checkout --to" functionality to "git worktree add". As a first step, introduce a bare-bones git-worktree "add" command along with documentation. At this stage, "git worktree add" merely invokes "git checkout --to" behind the scenes, but an upcoming patch will move the actual functionality (checkout.c:prepare_linked_checkout() and its helpers) to worktree.c.

2015-07-06Documentation/git-worktree: add high-level 'lock' overviewLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-9/+15
Due to the (current) absence of a "git worktree lock" command, locking a worktree's administrative files to prevent automatic pruning is a manual task, necessarily requiring low-level understanding of linked worktree functionality. However, this level of detail does not belong in the high-level DESCRIPTION section, so add a generalized discussion of locking to DESCRIPTION and move the technical information to DETAILS.
