2015-11-20credential-cache: new option to ignore sighupLibravatar Noam Postavsky1-0/+3
Introduce new option "credentialCache.ignoreSIGHUP" which stops git-credential-cache--daemon from quitting on SIGHUP. This is useful when "git push" is started from Emacs, because all child processes (including the daemon) will receive a SIGHUP when "git push" exits.

2015-11-20sendemail: teach git-send-email to dump alias namesLibravatar Jacob Keller1-0/+11
Add an option "--dump-aliases" which changes the default behavior of git-send-email. This mode will simply read the alias files configured by sendemail.aliasesfile and sendemail.aliasfiletype and dump a list of all configured aliases, one per line. The intended use case for this option is the bash-completion script which will use it to autocomplete aliases on the options which take addresses. Add some tests for the new option using various alias file formats. A possible future extension to the alias dump format could be done by extending the --dump-aliases to take an optional argument defining the format to display. This has not been done in this patch as no user of this information has been identified. Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

2015-11-05hideRefs: add support for matching full refsLibravatar Lukas Fleischer1-1/+2
In addition to matching stripped refs, one can now add hideRefs patterns that the full (unstripped) ref is matched against. To distinguish between stripped and full matches, those new patterns must be prefixed with a circumflex (^). This commit also removes support for the undocumented and unintended hideRefs settings ".have" (suppressing all "have" lines) and "capabilities^{}" (suppressing the capabilities line).

2015-10-29merge-file: clamp exit code to maximum 127Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
Git-merge-file is documented to return one of three exit codes: - zero means the merge was successful - a negative number means an error occurred - a positive number indicates the number of conflicts Unfortunately, this all gets stuffed into an 8-bit return code. Which means that if you have 256 conflicts, this wraps to zero, and the merge appears to succeed (and commits a blob full of conflict-marker cruft!). This patch clamps the return value to a maximum of 127, which we should be able to safely represent everywhere. This also leaves 128-255 for other values. Shells (and some parts of git) will typically represent signal death as 128 plus the signal number. And negative values are typically coerced to an 8-bit unsigned value (so "return -1" ends up as 255). Technically negative returns have the same problem (e.g., "-256" wraps back to 0), but this is not a problem in practice, as the only negative value we use is "-1".
