2010-10-13fast-import: Allow filemodify to set the rootLibravatar David Barr1-0/+3
v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id, 2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set. Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the empty path, "". For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can involve a significant amount of overhead. (23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6) Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it. This patch changes that, by allowing M 040000 <tree id> "" as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without any need to parse it. For example, M 040000 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 "" is a synonym for the deleteall command and the fast-import equivalent of git read-tree 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 Signed-off-by: David Barr <david.barr@cordelta.com> Commit-message-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Acked-by: Sverre Rabbelier <srabbelier@gmail.com> Tested-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-09-27repack: add -F flag to let user choose between --no-reuse-delta/objectLibravatar Jan Krüger1-1/+5
In 479b56ba ('make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object"'), git repack -f was changed to include recompressing all objects on the zlib level on the assumption that if the user wants to spend that much time already, some more time won't hurt (and recompressing is useful if the user changed the zlib compression level). However, "some more time" can be quite long with very big repositories, so some users are going to appreciate being able to choose. If we are going to give them the choice, --no-reuse-object will probably be interesting a lot less frequently than --no-reuse-delta. Hence, this reverts -f to the old behaviour (--no-reuse-delta) and adds a new -F option that replaces the current -f.

This adds fortran xfuncname and wordRegex patterns to the list of builtin patterns. The intention is for the patterns to be appropriate for all versions of fortran including 77, 90, 95. The patterns can be enabled by adding the diff=fortran attribute to the .gitattributes file for the desired file glob. This also adds a new macro named IPATTERN which is just like the PATTERNS macro except it sets the REG_ICASE flag so that case will be ignored.
