* maint: git-compat-util.h: use apparently more common __sgi macro to detect SGI IRIX Documentation: A...B shortcut for checkout and rebase Documentation/pretty-{formats,options}: better reference for "format:<string>"
2010-06-02Documentation/pretty-{formats,options}: better reference for "format:<string>"Libravatar Nazri Ramliy1-2/+2
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. This patch makes the placeholder easier to find by adding a reference to the "PRETTY FORMATS" section and repeating the "format:<string>" phrase.

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.

2008-09-04add '%d' pretty format specifier to show decorationLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+1
Add a new format placeholder, %d, which expands to a ref name decoration (think git log --decorate). It expands to an empty string if the commit has no decoration, or otherwise to a comma (and space) separated list of decorations, surrounded by parentheses and a leading space. Michael Dressel implemented an initial version and chose the letter d, Junio suggested to add a leading space and parentheses.

2008-08-29pretty=format: respect date format optionsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When running a command like: git log --pretty=format:%ad --date=short the date option was ignored. This patch causes it to use whatever format was specified by --date (or by --relative-date, etc), just as the non-user formats would do.

2008-07-11Add pretty format %aN which gives the author name, respecting .mailmapLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+2
The pretty format %an does not respect .mailmap, but gives the exact author name recorded in the commit. Sometimes it is more desirable, however, to look if the email has another name mapped to it in .mailmap. This commit adds %aN (and %cN for the committer name) to do exactly that.

2008-03-23pretty.c: add %x00 format specifier.Libravatar Govind Salinas1-0/+1
This adds a %xXX format which inserts two hexdigits after %x as a byte value in the resulting string. This can be used to add a NUL byte or any other byte that can make machine parsing easier. It is also necessary to use fwrite to print out the data since printf will terminate if you feed it a NUL.

2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time.

2007-05-13Documentation: Split description of pretty formats of commit logLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-36/+30
Split description of pretty formats into list of pretty options (--pretty and --encoding) in new file Documentation/pretty-options.txt and description of formats itself as a separate "PRETTY FORMATS" section in pretty-formats.txt While at it correct formatting a bit, to be better laid out in the resulting manpages: git-rev-list(1), git-show(1), git-log(1) and git-diff-tree(1). Those manpages now include pretty options in the same place as it was before, and description of formats just after all options.

2006-11-22Move --pretty options into Documentation/pretty-formats.txtLibravatar Chris Riddoch1-0/+78
Asciidoc-include it into the manuals for programs that use the --pretty command-line option, for consistency among the docs. This describes all the pretty-formats currently listed in the cmit_fmt enum in commit.h, and also briefly describes the presence and format of the 'Merge: ' line in some pretty formats. There's a hedge that limiting your view of history can affect what goes in the Merge: line, and that --abbrev/--no-abbrev do nothing to the 'raw' format.
