2012-09-10Merge branch 'cn/branch-set-upstream-to'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+13
"git branch --set-upstream origin/master" is a common mistake to create a local branch 'origin/master' and set it to integrate with the current branch. With a plan to deprecate this option, introduce "git branch (-u|--set-upstream-to) origin/master" that sets the current branch to integrate with 'origin/master' remote tracking branch. * cn/branch-set-upstream-to: branch: deprecate --set-upstream and show help if we detect possible mistaken use branch: add --unset-upstream option branch: introduce --set-upstream-to

2012-09-07Merge branch 'nd/branch-v-alignment'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
Output from "git branch -v" contains "(no branch)" that could be localized, but the code to align it along with the names of branches were counting in bytes, not in display columns. * nd/branch-v-alignment: branch -v: align even when branch names are in UTF-8
2012-09-07Merge branch 'jc/maint-doc-checkout-b-always-takes-branch-name'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
The synopsis said "checkout [-B branch]" to make it clear the branch name is a parameter to the option, but the heading for the option description was "-B::", not "-B branch::", making the documentation misleading. There may be room in documentation pages of other commands for similar improvements. * jc/maint-doc-checkout-b-always-takes-branch-name: doc: "git checkout -b/-B/--orphan" always takes a branch name

2012-09-03Merge branch 'sz/submodule-force-update'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+8
"git submodule update --force" used to leave the working tree of the submodule intact when there were local changes. It is more intiutive to make "--force" a sign to run "checkout -f" to overwrite them. * sz/submodule-force-update: Make 'git submodule update --force' always check out submodules.

"git cherry-pick" by default stops when it sees a commit without any log message. The "--allow-empty-message" option can be used to silently proceed. * cw/cherry-pick-allow-empty-message: cherry-pick: add --allow-empty-message option

The exit status code from "git config" was way overspecified while being incorrect.

2012-08-30teach log --no-walk=unsorted, which avoids sortingLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-3/+8
When 'git log' is passed the --no-walk option, no revision walk takes place, naturally. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, however, the provided revisions still get sorted by commit date. So e.g 'git log --no-walk HEAD HEAD~1' and 'git log --no-walk HEAD~1 HEAD' give the same result (unless the two revisions share the commit date, in which case they will retain the order given on the command line). As the commit that introduced --no-walk (8e64006 (Teach revision machinery about --no-walk, 2007-07-24)) points out, the sorting is intentional, to allow things like git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk to show all refs in order by commit date. But there are also other cases where the sorting is not wanted, such as <command producing revisions in order> | git log --oneline --no-walk --stdin To accomodate both cases, leave the decision of whether or not to sort up to the caller, by allowing --no-walk={sorted,unsorted}, defaulting to 'sorted' for backward-compatibility reasons.

2012-08-27branch -v: align even when branch names are in UTF-8Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+2
Branch names are usually in ASCII so they are not the problem. The problem most likely comes from "(no branch)" translation, which is in UTF-8 and makes display-width calculation just wrong. Clarify this by renaming the field "len" in struct ref_item to "width", as it stores the display-width and is used to compute the width of the screen needed to show the names of all the branches, and compute the display width using utf8_strwidth(), not byte-length with strlen(). Update document to mention the fact that we may want ref names in UTF-8. Encodings that produce invalid UTF-8 are safe as utf8_strwidth() falls back to strlen(). The ones that incidentally produce valid UTF-8 sequences will cause misalignment. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-08-24Make 'git submodule update --force' always check out submodules.Libravatar Stefan Zager1-1/+8
Currently, it will only do a checkout if the sha1 registered in the containing repository doesn't match the HEAD of the submodule, regardless of whether the submodule is dirty. As discussed on the mailing list, the '--force' flag is a strong indicator that the state of the submodule is suspect, and should be reset to HEAD.

2012-08-23specifying ranges: we did not mean to make ".." an empty setLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+7
Either end of revision range operator can be omitted to default to HEAD, as in "origin.." (what did I do since I forked) or "..origin" (what did they do since I forked). But the current parser interprets ".." as an empty range "HEAD..HEAD", and worse yet, because ".." does exist on the filesystem, we get this annoying output: $ cd Documentation/howto $ git log .. ;# give me recent commits that touch Documentation/ area. fatal: ambiguous argument '..': both revision and filename Use '--' to separate filenames from revisions Surely we could say "git log ../" or even "git log -- .." to disambiguate, but we shouldn't have to.

2012-08-23branch: introduce --set-upstream-toLibravatar Carlos Martín Nieto1-1/+8
The existing --set-uptream option can cause confusion, as it uses the usual branch convention of assuming a starting point of HEAD if none is specified, causing git branch --set-upstream origin/master to create a new local branch 'origin/master' that tracks the current branch. As --set-upstream already exists, we can't simply change its behaviour. To work around this, introduce --set-upstream-to which accepts a compulsory argument indicating what the new upstream branch should be and one optinal argument indicating which branch to change, defaulting to HEAD. The new options allows us to type git branch --set-upstream-to origin/master to set the current branch's upstream to be origin's master.
