2016-10-27Merge branch 'nd/ita-empty-commit'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
When new paths were added by "git add -N" to the index, it was enough to circumvent the check by "git commit" to refrain from making an empty commit without "--allow-empty". The same logic prevented "git status" to show such a path as "new file" in the "Changes not staged for commit" section. * nd/ita-empty-commit: commit: don't be fooled by ita entries when creating initial commit commit: fix empty commit creation when there's no changes but ita entries diff: add --ita-[in]visible-in-index diff-lib: allow ita entries treated as "not yet exist in index"

2016-10-12gpg-interface: use more status lettersLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-2/+8
According to gpg2's doc/DETAILS: For each signature only one of the codes GOODSIG, BADSIG, EXPSIG, EXPKEYSIG, REVKEYSIG or ERRSIG will be emitted. gpg1 ("classic") behaves the same (although doc/DETAILS differs). Currently, we parse gpg's status output for GOODSIG, BADSIG and trust information and translate that into status codes G, B, U, N for the %G? format specifier. git-verify-* returns success in the GOODSIG case only. This is somewhat in disagreement with gpg, which considers the first 5 of the 6 above as VALIDSIG, but we err on the very safe side. Introduce additional status codes E, X, Y, R for ERRSIG, EXPSIG, EXPKEYSIG, and REVKEYSIG so that a user of %G? gets more information about the absence of a 'G' on first glance.

2016-10-10count-objects: report alternates via verbose modeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
There's no way to get the list of alternates that git computes internally; our tests only infer it based on which objects are available. In addition to testing, knowing this list may be helpful for somebody debugging their alternates setup. Let's add it to the "count-objects -v" output. We could give it a separate flag, but there's not really any need. "count-objects -v" is already a debugging catch-all for the object database, its output is easily extensible to new data items, and printing the alternates is not expensive (we already had to find them to count the objects).

2016-10-10ls-files: add pathspec matching for submodulesLibravatar Brandon Williams1-2/+1
Pathspecs can be a bit tricky when trying to apply them to submodules. The main challenge is that the pathspecs will be with respect to the superproject and not with respect to paths in the submodule. The approach this patch takes is to pass in the identical pathspec from the superproject to the submodule in addition to the submodule-prefix, which is the path from the root of the superproject to the submodule, and then we can compare an entry in the submodule prepended with the submodule-prefix to the pathspec in order to determine if there is a match. This patch also permits the pathspec logic to perform a prefix match against submodules since a pathspec could refer to a file inside of a submodule. Due to limitations in the wildmatch logic, a prefix match is only done literally. If any wildcard character is encountered we'll simply punt and produce a false positive match. More accurate matching will be done once inside the submodule. This is due to the superproject not knowing what files could exist in the submodule.

2016-10-10git: make super-prefix optionLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+6
Add a super-prefix environment variable 'GIT_INTERNAL_SUPER_PREFIX' which can be used to specify a path from above a repository down to its root. When such a super-prefix is specified, the paths reported by Git are prefixed with it to make them relative to that directory "above". The paths given by the user on the command line (e.g. "git subcmd --output-file=path/to/a/file" and pathspecs) are taken relative to the directory "above" to match. The immediate use of this option is by commands which have a --recurse-submodule option in order to give context to submodules about how they were invoked. This option is currently only allowed for builtins which support a super-prefix.

2016-10-05git-commit.txt: clarify --patch mode with pathspecLibravatar Duy Nguyen1-2/+4
How pathspec is used, with and without --interactive/--patch, is different. But this is not clear from the document. These changes hint the user to keep reading (to option #5) instead of stopping at #2 and assuming --patch/--interactive behaves the same way. And since all the options listed here always mention how the index is involved (or not) in the final commit, add that bit for #5 as well. This "on top of the index" is implied when you head over git-add(1), but if you just go straight to the "Interactive mode" and not read what git-add is for, you may miss it.
