2014-06-25replace: add a --raw mode for --editLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
One of the purposes of "git replace --edit" is to help a user repair objects which are malformed or corrupted. Usually we pretty-print trees with "ls-tree", which is much easier to work with than the raw binary data. However, some forms of corruption break the tree-walker, in which case our pretty-printing fails, rendering "--edit" useless for the user. This patch introduces a "--raw" option, which lets you edit the binary data in these instances. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

"git status" (and "git commit") behaved as if changes in a modified submodule are not there if submodule.*.ignore configuration is set, which was misleading. The configuration is only to unclutter diff output during the course of development, and should not to hide changes in the "status" output to cause the users forget to commit them. * jl/status-added-submodule-is-never-ignored: commit -m: commit staged submodules regardless of ignore config status/commit: show staged submodules regardless of ignore config
2014-06-23verify-commit: scriptable commit signature verificationLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+28
Commit signatures can be verified using "git show -s --show-signature" or the "%G?" pretty format and parsing the output, which is well suited for user inspection, but not for scripting. Provide a command "verify-commit" which is analogous to "verify-tag": It returns 0 for good signatures and non-zero otherwise, has the gpg output on stderr and (optionally) the commit object on stdout, sans the signature, just like "verify-tag" does.

2014-06-13rev-parse: add --shared-index-path to get shared index pathLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+4
Normally scripts do not have to be aware about split indexes because all shared indexes are in $GIT_DIR. A simple "mv $tmp_index $GIT_DIR/somewhere" is enough. Scripts that generate temporary indexes and move them across repos must be aware about split index and copy the shared file as well. This option enables that.

2014-06-13update-index: new options to enable/disable split index modeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+11
If you have a large work tree but only make changes in a subset, then $GIT_DIR/index's size should be stable after a while. If you change branches that touch something else, $GIT_DIR/index's size may grow large that it becomes as slow as the unified index. Do --split-index again occasionally to force all changes back to the shared index and keep $GIT_DIR/index small.

2014-06-13read-cache: split-index modeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2-0/+39
This split-index mode is designed to keep write cost proportional to the number of changes the user has made, not the size of the work tree. (Read cost is another matter, to be dealt separately.) This mode stores index info in a pair of $GIT_DIR/index and $GIT_DIR/sharedindex.<SHA-1>. sharedindex is large and unchanged over time while "index" is smaller and updated often. Format details are in index-format.txt, although not everything is implemented in this patch. Shared indexes are not automatically removed, because it's unclear if the shared index is needed by any (even temporary) indexes by just looking at it. After a while you'll collect stale shared indexes. The good news is one shared index is useable for long, until $GIT_DIR/index becomes too big and sluggish that the new shared index must be created. The safest way to clean shared indexes is to turn off split index mode, so shared files are all garbage, delete them all, then turn on split index mode again.

2014-06-10patch-id: make it stable against hunk reorderingLibravatar Michael S. Tsirkin1-5/+32
Patch id changes if users reorder file diffs that make up a patch. As the result is functionally equivalent, a different patch id is surprising to many users. In particular, reordering files using diff -O is helpful to make patches more readable (e.g. API header diff before implementation diff). Add an option to change patch-id behaviour making it stable against these kinds of patch change: calculate SHA1 hash for each hunk separately and sum all hashes (using a symmetrical sum) to get patch id We use a 20byte sum and not xor - since xor would give 0 output for patches that have two identical diffs, which isn't all that unlikely (e.g. append the same line in two places). The new behaviour is enabled - when patchid.stable is true - when --stable flag is present Using a new flag --unstable or setting patchid.stable to false force the historical behaviour. In the documentation, clarify that patch ID can now be a sum of hashes, not a hash. Document how command line and config options affect the behaviour. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2014-06-06string-list: spell all values out that are given to a string_list initializerLibravatar Tanay Abhra1-0/+2
STRING_LIST_INIT_{NODUP,DUP} initializers list values only for earlier structure members, relying on the usual convention in C that the omitted members are initailized to 0, i.e. the former is expanded to the latter: struct string_list l = STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP; struct string_list l = { NULL, 0, 0, 1 }; and the last member that is not mentioned (i.e. 'cmp') is initialized to NULL. While there is nothing wrong in this construct, spelling out all the values where the macros are defined will serve also as a documentation, so let's do so.
