2012-04-24git-rebase: add keep_empty flagLibravatar Neil Horman1-0/+4
Add a command line switch to git-rebase to allow a user the ability to specify that they want to keep any commits in a series that are empty. When git-rebase's type is am, then this option will automatically keep any commit that has a tree object identical to its parent. This patch changes the default behavior of interactive rebases as well. With this patch, git-rebase -i will produce a revision set passed to git-revision-editor, in which empty commits are commented out. Empty commits may be kept manually by uncommenting them. If the new --keep-empty option is used in an interactive rebase the empty commits will automatically all be uncommented in the editor.

2012-04-24git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits optionLibravatar Neil Horman1-1/+11
The git-cherry-pick --allow-empty command by default only preserves empty commits that were originally empty, i.e only those commits for which <commit>^{tree} and <commit>^^{tree} are equal. By default commits which are non-empty, but were made empty by the inclusion of a prior commit on the current history are filtered out. This option allows us to override that behavior and include redundant commits as empty commits in the change history. Note that this patch changes the default behavior of git cherry-pick slightly. Prior to this patch all commits in a cherry-pick sequence were applied and git commit was run. The implication here was that, if a commit was redundant, and the commit did not trigger the fast forward logic, the git commit operation, and therefore the git cherry-pick operation would fail, displaying the cherry pick advice (i.e. run git commit --allow-empty). With this patch however, such redundant commits are automatically skipped without stopping, unless --keep-redundant-commits is specified, in which case, they are automatically applied as empty commits.

2012-04-11git-cherry-pick: add allow-empty optionLibravatar Neil Horman1-0/+9
git cherry-pick fails when picking a non-ff commit that is empty. The advice given with the failure is that a git-commit --allow-empty should be issued to explicitly add the empty commit during the cherry pick. This option allows a user to specify before hand that they want to keep the empty commit. This eliminates the need to issue both a cherry pick and a commit operation.

Found by running this command: $ git ls-files -z|xargs -0 perl -0777 -n \ -e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt]o)\s+\1\b/gims)' \ -e ' {' \ -e ' $n = ($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1);' \ -e ' ($v = $&) =~ s/\n/\\n/g;' \ -e ' print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n";' \ -e ' }' Why not just git grep -E ...? That wouldn't work then the doubled words are separated by a newline.

2012-03-26Documentation: improve description of GIT_EDITOR and preference orderLibravatar Rodrigo Silva (MestreLion)1-0/+6
Previously GIT_EDITOR was not listed in git(1) "Environment Variables" section, which could be very confusing to users. Include it in "other" subsection along with a link to git-var(1), since that is the page that fully describes all places where editor can be set and also their preference order. Also, git-var(1) did not say that hardcoded fallback 'vi' may have been changed at build time. A user could be puzzled if 'nano' pops up even when none of the mentioned environment vars or config.editor are set. Clarify this. Ideally, the build system should be changed to reflect the chosen fallback editor when creating the man pages. Not sure if that is even possible though.
