2012-10-29Merge branch 'jc/grep-pcre-loose-ends'Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+10
"git log -F -E --grep='<ere>'" failed to use the given <ere> pattern as extended regular expression, and instead looked for the string literally. The early part of this series is a fix for it; the latter part teaches log to respect the grep.* configuration. * jc/grep-pcre-loose-ends: log: honor grep.* configuration log --grep: accept --basic-regexp and --perl-regexp log --grep: use the same helper to set -E/-F options as "git grep" revisions: initialize revs->grep_filter using grep_init() grep: move pattern-type bits support to top-level grep.[ch] grep: move the configuration parsing logic to grep.[ch] builtin/grep.c: make configuration callback more reusable
2012-10-29Merge branch 'jl/submodule-add-by-name'Libravatar Jeff King2-2/+9
If you remove a submodule, in order to keep the repository so that "git checkout" to an older commit in the superproject history can resurrect the submodule, the real repository will stay in $GIT_DIR of the superproject. A later "git submodule add $path" to add a different submodule at the same path will fail. Diagnose this case a bit better, and if the user really wants to add an unrelated submodule at the same path, give the "--name" option to give it a place in $GIT_DIR of the superproject that does not conflict with the original submodule. * jl/submodule-add-by-name: submodule add: Fail when .git/modules/<name> already exists unless forced Teach "git submodule add" the --name option
2012-10-29Merge branch 'jl/submodule-rm'Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+15
"git rm submodule" cannot blindly remove a submodule directory as its working tree may have local changes, and worse yet, it may even have its repository embedded in it. Teach it some special cases where it is safe to remove a submodule, specifically, when there is no local changes in the submodule working tree, and its repository is not embedded in its working tree but is elsewhere and uses the gitfile mechanism to point at it. * jl/submodule-rm: submodule: teach rm to remove submodules unless they contain a git directory

2012-10-18status: add --long output format optionLibravatar Jeff King2-0/+7
You can currently set the output format to --short or --porcelain. There is no --long, because we default to it already. However, you may want to override an alias that uses "--short" to get back to the default. This requires a little bit of refactoring, because currently we use STATUS_FORMAT_LONG internally to mean the same as "the user did not specify anything". By expanding the enum to include STATUS_FORMAT_NONE, we can distinguish between the implicit and explicit cases. This effects these conditions: 1. The user has asked for NUL termination. With NONE, we currently default to turning on the porcelain mode. With an explicit --long, we would in theory use NUL termination with the long mode, but it does not support it. So we can just complain and die. 2. When an output format is given to "git commit", we default to "--dry-run". This behavior would now kick in when "--long" is given, too.

2012-10-09log --grep: accept --basic-regexp and --perl-regexpLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+10
When we added the "--perl-regexp" option (or "-P") to "git grep", we should have done the same for the commands in the "git log" family, but somehow we forgot to do so. This corrects it, but we will reserve the short-and-sweet "-P" option for something else for now. Also introduce the "--basic-regexp" option for completeness, so that the "last one wins" principle can be used to defeat an earlier -E option, e.g. "git log -E --basic-regexp --grep='<bre>'". Note that it cannot have the short "-G" option as the option is to grep in the patch text in the context of "log" family. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
