2017-03-27rev-parse: match @{upstream}, @{u} and @{push} case-insensitivelyLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+5
Change the revision parsing logic to match @{upstream}, @{u} & @{push} case-insensitively. Before this change supplying anything except the lower-case forms emits an "unknown revision or path not in the working tree" error. This change makes upper-case & mixed-case versions equivalent to the lower-case versions. The use-case for this is being able to hold the shift key down while typing @{u} on certain keyboard layouts, which makes the sequence easier to type, and reduces cases where git throws an error at the user where it could do what he means instead. These suffixes now join various other suffixes & special syntax documented in gitrevisions(7) that matches case-insensitively. A table showing the status of the various forms documented there before & after this patch is shown below. The key for the table is: - CI = Case Insensitive - CIP = Case Insensitive Possible (without ambiguities) - AG = Accepts Garbage (.e.g. @{./.4.minutes./.}) Before this change: |----------------+-----+------+-----| | What? | CI? | CIP? | AG? | |----------------+-----+------+-----| | @{<date>} | Y | Y | Y | | @{upstream} | N | Y | N | | @{push} | N | Y | N | |----------------+-----+------+-----| After it: |----------------+-----+------+-----| | What? | CI? | CIP? | AG? | |----------------+-----+------+-----| | @{<date>} | Y | Y | Y | | @{upstream} | Y | Y | N | | @{push} | Y | Y | N | |----------------+-----+------+-----| The ^{<type>} suffix is not made case-insensitive, because other places that take <type> like "cat-file -t <type>" do want them case sensitively (after all we never declared that type names are case insensitive). Allowing case-insensitive typename only with this syntax will make the resulting Git as a whole inconsistent. This change was independently authored to scratch a longtime itch, but when I was about to submit it I discovered that a similar patch had been submitted unsuccessfully before by Conrad Irwin in August 2011 as "rev-parse: Allow @{U} as a synonym for @{u}" (<1313287071-7851-1-git-send-email-conrad.irwin@gmail.com>). The tests for this patch are more exhaustive than in the 2011 submission. The starting point for them was to first change the code to only support upper-case versions of the existing words, seeing what broke, and amending the breaking tests to check upper case & mixed case as appropriate, and where not redundant to other similar tests. The implementation itself is equivalent. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-03-20push: mention "push.default=tracking" in the documentationLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+2
Change the documentation for push.tracking=* to re-include a mention of what "tracking" does. The "tracking" option was renamed to "upstream" back in 53c4031 ("push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'", 2011-02-16), this section was then subsequently rewritten in 87a70e4 ("config doc: rewrite push.default section", 2013-06-19) to remove any mention of "tracking". Maybe we should just warn or die nowadays if this option is in the config, but I had some old config of mine use this option, I'd forgotten that it was a synonym, and nothing in git's documentation mentioned that. That's bad, either we shouldn't support it at all, or we should document what it does. This patch does the latter.

2017-03-17credential-cache: use XDG_CACHE_HOME for socketLibravatar Devin Lehmacher1-4/+7
Make git-credential-cache follow the XDG base path specification by default. This increases consistency with other applications and helps keep clutter out of users' home directories. Check the old socket location, ~/.git-credential-cache/, and use ~/.git-credential-cache/socket if that directory exists rather than forcing users who have used `git credential-cache` before to migrate to the new XDG compliant location. Otherwise use the socket $XDG_CACHE_HOME/git/credential/socket following XDG base path specification. Use the subdirectory credential/ in case other files are cached under $XDG_CACHE_HOME/git/ in the future and to make the socket's purpose clear.

2017-03-11config: add conditional includeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+63
Sometimes a set of repositories want to share configuration settings among themselves that are distinct from other such sets of repositories. A user may work on two projects, each of which have multiple repositories, and use one user.email for one project while using another for the other. Setting $GIT_DIR/.config works, but if the penalty of forgetting to update $GIT_DIR/.config is high (especially when you end up cloning often), it may not be the best way to go. Having the settings in ~/.gitconfig, which would work for just one set of repositories, would not well in such a situation. Having separate ${HOME}s may add more problems than it solves. Extend the include.path mechanism that lets a config file include another config file, so that the inclusion can be done only when some conditions hold. Then ~/.gitconfig can say "include config-project-A only when working on project-A" for each project A the user works on. In this patch, the only supported grouping is based on $GIT_DIR (in absolute path), so you would need to group repositories by directory, or something like that to take advantage of it. We already have include.path for unconditional includes. This patch goes with includeIf.<condition>.path to make it clearer that a condition is required. The new config has the same backward compatibility approach as include.path: older git versions that don't understand includeIf will simply ignore them.

2017-03-03filter-branch: fix --prune-empty on parentless commitsLibravatar Devin J. Pohly1-8/+6
Previously, the git_commit_non_empty_tree function would always pass any commit with no parents to git-commit-tree, regardless of whether the tree was nonempty. The new commit would then be recorded in the filter-branch revision map, and subsequent commits which leave the tree untouched would be correctly filtered. With this change, parentless commits with an empty tree are correctly pruned, and an empty file is recorded in the revision map, signifying that it was rewritten to "no commits." This works naturally with the parent mapping for subsequent commits. Signed-off-by: Devin J. Pohly <djpohly@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
