2020-04-29Merge branch 'ps/transactional-update-ref-stdin'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+27
"git update-ref --stdin" learned a handful of new verbs to let the user control ref update transactions more explicitly, which helps as an ingredient to implement two-phase commit-style atomic ref-updates across multiple repositories. * ps/transactional-update-ref-stdin: update-ref: implement interactive transaction handling update-ref: read commands in a line-wise fashion update-ref: move transaction handling into `update_refs_stdin()` update-ref: pass end pointer instead of strbuf update-ref: drop unused argument for `parse_refname` update-ref: organize commands in an array strbuf: provide function to append whole lines git-update-ref.txt: add missing word refs: fix segfault when aborting empty transaction

2020-04-28rebase: save autostash entry into stash reflog on --quitLibravatar Denton Liu1-1/+2
In a03b55530a (merge: teach --autostash option, 2020-04-07), the --autostash option was introduced for `git merge`. Notably, when `git merge --quit` is run with an autostash entry present, it is saved into the stash reflog. This is contrasted with the current behaviour of `git rebase --quit` where the autostash entry is simply just dropped out of existence. Adopt the behaviour of `git merge --quit` in `git rebase --quit` and save the autostash entry into the stash reflog instead of just deleting it.

2020-04-20grep: follow conventions for printing paths w/ unusual charsLibravatar Matheus Tavares1-2/+4
grep does not follow the conventions used by other Git commands when printing paths that contain unusual characters (as double-quotes or newlines). Commands such as ls-files, commit, status and diff will: - Quote and escape unusual pathnames, by default. - Print names verbatim and unquoted when "-z" is used. But grep *never* quotes/escapes absolute paths with unusual chars and *always* quotes/escapes relative ones, even with "-z". Besides being inconsistent in its own output, the deviation from other Git commands can be confusing. So let's make it follow the two rules above and add some tests for this new behavior. Note that, making grep quote/escape all unusual paths by default, also make it fully compliant with the core.quotePath configuration, which is currently ignored for absolute paths.

2020-04-16log: add log.excludeDecoration config optionLibravatar Derrick Stolee2-1/+10
In 'git log', the --decorate-refs-exclude option appends a pattern to a string_list. This list is used to prevent showing some refs in the decoration output, or even by --simplify-by-decoration. Users may want to use their refs space to store utility refs that should not appear in the decoration output. For example, Scalar [1] runs a background fetch but places the "new" refs inside the refs/scalar/hidden/<remote>/* refspace instead of refs/<remote>/* to avoid updating remote refs when the user is not looking. However, these "hidden" refs appear during regular 'git log' queries. A similar idea to use "hidden" refs is under consideration for core Git [2]. Add the 'log.excludeDecoration' config option so users can exclude some refs from decorations by default instead of needing to use --decorate-refs-exclude manually. The config value is multi-valued much like the command-line option. The documentation is careful to point out that the config value can be overridden by the --decorate-refs option, even though --decorate-refs-exclude would always "win" over --decorate-refs. Since the 'log.excludeDecoration' takes lower precedence to --decorate-refs, and --decorate-refs-exclude takes higher precedence, the struct decoration_filter needed another field. This led also to new logic in load_ref_decorations() and ref_filter_match(). There are several tests in t4202-log.sh that test the --decorate-refs-(include|exclude) options, so these are extended. Since the expected output is already stored as a file, most tests could simply replace a "--decorate-refs-exclude" option with an in-line config setting. Other tests involve the precedence of the config option compared to command-line options and needed more modification.

2020-04-11rebase --merge: optionally skip upstreamed commitsLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-2/+23
When rebasing against an upstream that has had many commits since the original branch was created: O -- O -- ... -- O -- O (upstream) \ -- O (my-dev-branch) it must read the contents of every novel upstream commit, in addition to the tip of the upstream and the merge base, because "git rebase" attempts to exclude commits that are duplicates of upstream ones. This can be a significant performance hit, especially in a partial clone, wherein a read of an object may end up being a fetch. Add a flag to "git rebase" to allow suppression of this feature. This flag only works when using the "merge" backend. This flag changes the behavior of sequencer_make_script(), called from do_interactive_rebase() <- run_rebase_interactive() <- run_specific_rebase() <- cmd_rebase(). With this flag, limit_list() (indirectly called from sequencer_make_script() through prepare_revision_walk()) will no longer call cherry_pick_list(), and thus PATCHSAME is no longer set. Refraining from setting PATCHSAME both means that the intermediate commits in upstream are no longer read (as shown by the test) and means that no PATCHSAME-caused skipping of commits is done by sequencer_make_script(), either directly or through make_script_with_merges().
