2015-08-19submodule: use new config API for worktree configurationsLibravatar Heiko Voigt1-1/+18
We remove the extracted functions and directly parse into and read out of the cache. This allows us to have one unified way of accessing submodule configuration values specific to single submodules. Regardless whether we need to access a configuration from history or from the worktree.

2015-08-19submodule: implement a config API for lookup of .gitmodules valuesLibravatar Heiko Voigt1-0/+45
In a superproject some commands need to interact with submodules. They need to query values from the .gitmodules file either from the worktree of from certain revisions. At the moment this is quite hard since a caller would need to read the .gitmodules file from the history and then parse the values. We want to provide an API for this so we have one place to get values from .gitmodules from any revision (including the worktree). The API is realized as a cache which allows us to lazily read .gitmodules configurations by commit into a runtime cache which can then be used to easily lookup values from it. Currently only the values for path or name are stored but it can be extended for any value needed. It is expected that .gitmodules files do not change often between commits. Thats why we lookup the .gitmodules sha1 from a commit and then either lookup an already parsed configuration or parse and cache an unknown one for each sha1. The cache is lazily build on demand for each requested commit. This cache can be used for all purposes which need knowledge about submodule configurations. Example use cases are: * Recursive submodule checkout needs to lookup a submodule name from its path when a submodule first appears. This needs be done before this configuration exists in the worktree. * The implementation of submodule support for 'git archive' needs to lookup the submodule name to generate the archive when given a revision that is not checked out. * 'git fetch' when given the --recurse-submodules=on-demand option (or configuration) needs to lookup submodule names by path from the database rather than reading from the worktree. For new submodule it needs to lookup the name from its path to allow cloning new submodules into the .git folder so they can be checked out without any network interaction when the user does a checkout of that revision.

A "rebase" replays changes of the local branch on top of something else, as such they are placed in stage #3 and referred to as "theirs", while the changes in the new base, typically a foreign work, are placed in stage #2 and referred to as "ours".

2015-08-03Merge branch 'ib/scripted-parse-opt-better-hint-string'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
The "rev-parse --parseopt" mode parsed the option specification and the argument hint in a strange way to allow '=' and other special characters in the option name while forbidding them from the argument hint. This made it impossible to define an option like "--pair <key>=<value>" with "pair=key=value" specification, which instead would have defined a "--pair=key <value>" option. * ib/scripted-parse-opt-better-hint-string: rev-parse --parseopt: allow [*=?!] in argument hints

2015-07-28Documentation/git-tools: retire manually-maintained listLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-81/+7
When Git was young, people looking for third-party Git-related tools came to the Git project itself to find them, so it made sense to maintain a list of tools here. These days, however, search engines fill that role much more efficiently, so retire the manually-maintained list. The list of front-ends and tools on the Git wiki rates perhaps a distant second to search engines, and may still have value, so retain a reference to it.

2015-07-27refs: loosen restriction on wildcard "*" refspecsLibravatar Jacob Keller1-2/+2
Loosen restrictions on refspecs by allowing patterns that have a "*" within a component instead of only as the whole component. Remove the logic to accept a single "*" as a whole component from check_refname_format(), and implement an extended form of that logic in check_refname_component(). Pass the pointer to the flags argument to the latter, as it has to clear REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN bit when it sees "*". Teach check_refname_component() function to allow an asterisk "*" only when REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN is set in the flags, and drop the bit after seeing a "*", to ensure that one side of a refspec contains at most one asterisk. This will allow us to accept refspecs such as `for/bar*:foo/baz*`. Any refspec which functioned before shall continue functioning with the new logic.

This reverts commit d96a275b91bae1800cd43be0651e886e7e042a17.

2015-07-23userdiff: add support for Fountain documentsLibravatar Zoë Blade1-0/+2
Add support for Fountain, a plain text screenplay format. Git facilitates not just programming specifically, but creative writing in general, so it makes sense to also support other plain text documents besides source code. In the structure of a screenplay specifically, scenes are roughly analogous to functions, in the sense that it makes your job easier if you can see which ones were changed in a given range of patches. More information about the Fountain format can be found on its official website, at http://fountain.io .

2015-07-21update-ref and tag: add --create-reflog argLibravatar David Turner2-2/+8
Allow the creation of a ref (e.g. stash) with a reflog already in place. For most refs (e.g. those under refs/heads), this happens automatically, but for others, we need this option. Currently, git does this by pre-creating the reflog, but alternate ref backends might store reflogs somewhere other than .git/logs. Code that now directly manipulates .git/logs should instead use git plumbing commands. I also added --create-reflog to git tag, just for completeness. In a moment, we will use this argument to make git stash work with alternate ref backends. Signed-off-by: David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
