2011-05-08Use a temporary index for git commit --interactiveLibravatar Conrad Irwin1-1/+2
Change the behaviour of git commit --interactive so that when you abort the commit (by leaving the commit message empty) the index remains unchanged. Hitherto an aborted commit --interactive has added the selected hunks to the index regardless of whether the commit succeeded or not.

I found that some doubled words had snuck back into projects from which I'd already removed them, so now there's a "syntax-check" makefile rule in gnulib to help prevent recurrence. Running the command below spotted a few in git, too: git ls-files | xargs perl -0777 -n \ -e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt])\s+\1\b/gims)' \ -e '{$n=($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1); ($v=$&)=~s/\n/\\n/g;' \ -e 'print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n"}' Signed-off-by: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-04-09git-svn: Add a svn-remote.<name>.pushurl config keyLibravatar Alejandro R. Sedeño1-0/+10
Similar to the 'remote.<name>.pushurl' config key for git remotes, 'pushurl' is designed to be used in cases where 'url' points to an SVN repository via a read-only transport, to provide an alternate read/write transport. It is assumed that both keys point to the same repository. The 'pushurl' key is distinct from the 'commiturl' key in that 'commiturl' is a full svn path while 'pushurl' (like 'url') is a base path. 'commiturl' takes precendece over 'pushurl' in cases where either might be used. The 'pushurl' is used by git-svn's dcommit and branch commands. Signed-off-by: Alejandro R.

Earlier f98fd43 (git-log.txt,rev-list-options.txt: put option blocks in proper order, 2011-03-08) moved the text around in the documentation for options in the rev-list family of commands such as "log". Consequently, the description of the --cherry-pick option appears way above the description of the --left-right option now. But the description of the --cherry-pick option still refers to the example for the --left-right option, like this: ... with --left-right, like the example ABOVE in the description of that option.

2011-03-30submodule: process conflicting submodules only onceLibravatar Nicolas Morey-Chaisemartin1-2/+3
During a merge module_list returns conflicting submodules several times (stage 1,2,3) which caused the submodules to be used multiple times in git submodule init, sync, update and status command. There are 5 callers of module_list; they all read (mode, sha1, stage, path) tuple, and most of them care only about path. As a first level approximation, it should be Ok (in the sense that it does not make things worse than it currently is) to filter the duplicate paths from module_list output, but some callers should change their behaviour when the merge in the superproject still has conflicts. Notice the higher-stage entries, and emit only one record from module_list, but while doing so, mark the entry with "U" (not [0-3]) in the $stage field and null out the SHA-1 part, as the object name for the lowest stage does not give any useful information to the caller, and this way any caller that uses the object name would hopefully barf. Then update the codepaths for each subcommands this way: - "update" should not touch the submodule repository, because we do not know what commit should be checked out yet. - "status" reports the conflicting submodules as 'U000...000' and does not recurse into them (we might later want to make it recurse). - The command called by "foreach" may want to do whatever it wants to do by noticing the merged status in the superproject itself, so feed the path to it from module_list as before, but only once per submodule. - "init" and "sync" are unlikely things to do while the superproject is still not merged, but as long as a submodule is there in $path, there is no point skipping it. It might however want to take the merged status of .gitmodules into account, but that is outside of the scope of this topic.
