2012-01-23merge: use editor by default in interactive sessionsLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-4/+14
Traditionally, a cleanly resolved merge was committed by "git merge" using the auto-generated merge commit log message without invoking the editor. After 5 years of use in the field, it turns out that people perform too many unjustified merges of the upstream history into their topic branches. These merges are not just useless, but they are often not explained well, and making the end result unreadable when it gets time for merging their history back to their upstream. Earlier we added the "--edit" option to the command, so that people can edit the log message to explain and justify their merge commits. Let's take it one step further and spawn the editor by default when we are in an interactive session (i.e. the standard input and the standard output are pointing at the same tty device). There may be existing scripts that leave the standard input and the standard output of the "git merge" connected to whatever environment the scripts were started, and such invocation might trigger the above "interactive session" heuristics. GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable can be set to "no" at the beginning of such scripts to use the historical behaviour while the script runs. Note that this backward compatibility is meant only for scripts, and we deliberately do *not* support "merge.edit = yes/no/auto" configuration option to allow people to keep the historical behaviour.

2012-01-16clone: allow --branch to take a tagLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+3
Because a tag ref cannot be put to HEAD, HEAD will become detached. This is consistent with "git checkout <tag>". This is mostly useful in shallow clone, where it allows you to clone a tag in addtion to branches.

2012-01-16am: learn passing -b to mailinfoLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+3
git-am could pass -k to mailinfo, but not -b. Introduce an option that does so. We change the meaning of the 'keep' state file, but are careful not to cause a problem unless you downgrade in the middle of an 'am' run. This uncovers a bug in mailinfo -b, hence the failing test.

2012-01-13git-show-ref: fix escaping in asciidoc sourceLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-3/+3
Two "^" characters were incorrectly being interpreted as markup for superscripting. Fix them by writing them as attribute references "{caret}". Although a single "^" character in a paragraph cannot be misinterpreted in this way, also write other "^" characters as "{caret}" in the interest of good hygiene (unless they are in literal paragraphs, of course, in which context attribute references are not recognized). Spell "{}" consistently, namely *not* quoted as "\{\}". Since the braces are empty, they cannot be interpreted as an attribute reference, and either spelling is OK. So arbitrarily choose one variation and use it consistently. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-01-11mailinfo documentation: accurately describe non -k caseLibravatar Thomas Rast1-7/+18
Since its very first description of -k, the documentation for git-mailinfo claimed that (in the case without -k) after cleaning up bracketed strings [blah], it would insert [PATCH]. It doesn't; on the contrary, one of the important jobs of mailinfo is to remove those strings. Since we're already there, rewrite the paragraph to give a complete enumeration of all the transformations. Specifically, it was missing the whitespace normalization (run of isspace(c) -> ' ') and the removal of leading ':'.

2012-01-11git-p4: add tests demonstrating spec overlay ambiguitiesLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-0/+5
Introduce new tests that look more closely at overlay situations when there are conflicting files. Five of these are broken. Document the brokenness. This is a fundamental problem with how git-p4 only "borrows" a client spec. At some sync operation, a new change can contain a file which is already in the repo or explicitly deleted through another mapping. To sort this out would involve listing all the files in the client spec to find one with a higher priority. While this is not too hard for the initial import, subsequent sync operations would be very costly. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-01-08clone: add --single-branch to fetch only one branchLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+10
When --single-branch is given, only one branch, either HEAD or one specified by --branch, will be fetched. Also only tags that point to the downloaded history are fetched. This helps most in shallow clones, where it can reduce the download to minimum and that is why it is enabled by default when --depth is given.
