2012-12-17log --format: teach %C(auto,black) to respect color configLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+5
Traditionally, %C(color attr) always emitted the ANSI color sequence; it was up to the scripts that wanted to conditionally color their output to omit %C(...) specifier when they do not want colors. Optionally allow "auto," to be prefixed to the color, so that the output is colored iff we would color regular "log" output (e.g., taking into account color.* and --color command line options).

2012-04-26docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literalLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc 8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the documentation could be built on either version. It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want inline literals on their own merits, which are: 1. The source is much easier to read when the literal contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead of `master{tilde}1`. 2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of quoting. This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up, or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the output). Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to making the source more readable, this patch fixes several formatting bugs: - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B") - some code examples used the right-arrow character instead of '->' because they failed to quote - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting HTML contained a bogus snippet like: <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt> which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole sections of the page. - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes) - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for author@example.com - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}". - using "prime" notation like: commit `C` and its replacement `C'` confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant to be inside matched quotes - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our asterisks. In particular, `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*` properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but literally passed through the backslash in the second case.

2011-12-16pretty: give placeholders to reflog identityLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
When doing a reflog walk, you can get some information about the reflog (such as the subject line), but not the identity information (i.e., name and email).

2010-06-16pretty: Introduce ' ' modifier to add space if non-emptyLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+4
We have the '+' modifiier which helps combine format specifiers which may possibly be empty, e.g. '%s%+b%n'. Introduce an analogous ' ' (space) modifier which adds a space before non-empty items.

In "git help log" (and friends) it's not easy to find the possible placeholder for <string> for the "--pretty=format:<string>" option to git log.

2010-05-03pretty: add aliases for pretty formatsLibravatar Will Palmer1-1/+6
previously the only ways to alias a --pretty format within git were either to set the format as your default format (via the format.pretty configuration variable), or by using a regular git alias. This left the definition of more complicated formats to the realm of "builtin or nothing", with user-defined formats usually being reserved for quick one-offs. Here we allow user-defined formats to enjoy more or less the same benefits of builtins. By defining pretty.myalias, "myalias" can be used in place of whatever would normally come after --pretty=. This can be a format:, tformat:, raw (ie, defaulting to tformat), or the name of another builtin or user-defined pretty format.

2010-01-14strbuf_expand: convert "%%" to "%"Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
The only way to safely quote arbitrary text in a pretty-print user format is to replace instances of "%" with "%x25". This is slightly unreadable, and many users would expect "%%" to produce a single "%", as that is what printf format specifiers do. This patch converts "%%" to "%" for all users of strbuf_expand(): (1) git-daemon interpolated paths (2) pretty-print user formats (3) merge driver command lines Case (1) was already doing the conversion itself outside of strbuf_expand(). Case (2) is the intended beneficiary of this patch. Case (3) users probably won't notice, but as this is user-facing behavior, consistently providing the quoting mechanism makes sense.

2009-10-19Introduce new pretty formats %g[sdD] for reflog informationLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+9
Add three new --pretty=format escapes: %gD long reflog descriptor (e.g. refs/stash@{0}) %gd short reflog descriptor (e.g. stash@{0}) %gs reflog message This is achieved by passing down the reflog info, if any, inside the pretty_print_context struct. We use the newly refactored get_reflog_selector(), and give it some extra functionality to extract a shortened ref. The shortening is cached inside the commit_reflogs struct; the only allocation of it happens in read_complete_reflog(), where it is initialised to 0. Also add another helper get_reflog_message() for the message extraction. Note that the --format="%h %gD: %gs" tests may not work in real repositories, as the --pretty formatter doesn't know to leave away the ": " on the last commit in an incomplete (because git-gc removed the old part) reflog. This equivalence is nevertheless the main goal of this patch. Thanks to Jeff King for reviews, the %gd testcase and documentation.

2009-10-04Pretty-format: %[+-]x to tweak inter-item newlinesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
This teaches the "pretty" machinery to expand '%+x' to a LF followed by the expansion of '%x' if and only if '%x' expands to a non-empty string, and to remove LFs before '%-x' if '%x' expands to an empty string. This works for any supported expansion placeholder 'x'. This is expected to be immediately useful to reproduce the commit log message with "%s%+b%n"; "%s%n%b%n" adds one extra LF if the log message is a one-liner.

2009-03-22pretty.c: add %f format specifier to format_commit_message()Libravatar Stephen Boyd1-0/+1
This specifier represents the sanitized and filename friendly subject line of a commit. No checks are made against the length of the string, so users may need to trim the result to the desired length if using as a filename. This is commonly used by format-patch to massage commit subjects into filenames and output patches to files.

2009-01-17expand --pretty=format color optionsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
Currently, the only colors available to --pretty=format users are red, green, and blue. Rather than expand it with a few new colors, this patch makes the usual config color syntax available, including more colors, backgrounds, and attributes. Because colors are no longer bounded to a single word (e.g., %Cred), this uses a more advanced syntax that features a beginning and end delimiter (but the old syntax still works). So you can now do: git log --pretty=tformat:'%C(yellow)%h%C(reset) %s' to emulate --pretty=oneline, or even git log --pretty=tformat:'%C(cyan magenta bold)%s%C(reset)' if you want to relive the awesomeness of 4-color CGA.
