2006-09-24Allow 'svn fetch' on '(no date)' revisions in Subversion.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-0/+12
Added --ignore-nodate to allow 'git svn fetch' to import revisions from Subversion which have '(no date)' listed as the date of the revision. By default 'git svn fetch' will crash with an error when encountering such a revision. The user may restart the fetch operation by adding --ignore-nodate if they want to continue tracking that repository. I'm not entirely sure why a centralized version control system such as Subversion permits revisions to be created with absolutely no date/time associated with it but it apparently is possible as one of the Subversion repositories that I'm tracking with 'git svn' created such a revision on '(no date)' and by '(no user)'.

2006-09-24Remove upload-tar and make git-tar-tree a thin wrapper to git-archiveLibravatar Junio C Hamano3-43/+3
The command now issues a big deprecation warning message and runs git-archive command with appropriate arguments. git-tar-tree $tree_ish $base always forces $base to be the leading directory name, so the --prefix parameter passed internally to git-archive is a slash appended to it, i.e. "--prefix=$base/".

2006-09-09Add git-upload-archiveLibravatar Franck Bui-Huu1-0/+37
This command implements the git archive protocol on the server side. This command is not intended to be used by the end user. Underlying git-archive command line options are sent over the protocol from "git-archive --remote=...", just like upload-tar currently does with "git-tar-tree=...". As for "git-archive" command implementation, this new command does not execute any existing "git-{tar,zip}-tree" but rely on the archive API defined by "git-archive" patch. Hence we get 2 good points: - "git-archive" and "git-upload-archive" share all option parsing code. - All kind of git-upload-{tar,zip} can be deprecated.

2006-09-09Add git-archiveLibravatar Franck Bui-Huu1-0/+100
git-archive is a command to make TAR and ZIP archives of a git tree. It helps prevent a proliferation of git-{format}-tree commands. Instead of directly calling git-{tar,zip}-tree command, it defines a very simple API, that archiver should implement and register in "git-archive.c". This API is made up by 2 functions whose prototype is defined in "archive.h" file. - The first one is used to parse 'extra' parameters which have signification only for the specific archiver. That would allow different archive backends to have different kind of options. - The second one is used to ask to an archive backend to build the archive given some already resolved parameters. The main reason for making this API is to avoid using git-{tar,zip}-tree commands, hence making them useless. Maybe it's time for them to die ? It also implements remote operations by defining a very simple protocol: it first sends the name of the specific uploader followed the repository name (git-upload-tar git://example.org/repo.git). Then it sends options. It's done by sending a sequence of one argument per packet, with prefix "argument ", followed by a flush. The remote protocol is implemented in "git-archive.c" for client side and is triggered by "--remote=<repo>" option. For example, to fetch a TAR archive in a remote repo, you can issue: $ git archive --format=tar --remote=git://xxx/yyy/zzz.git HEAD We choose to not make a new command "git-fetch-archive" for example, avoind one more GIT command which should be nice for users (less commands to remember, keeps existing --remote option).

2006-09-07Make apply --binary a no-op.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+4
Historically we did not allow binary patch applied without an explicit permission from the user, and this flag was the way to do so. This makes the flag a no-op by always allowing binary patch application. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

This reverts parts of commit 74c0cc2 and part of commit 355f541. Franck and Rene are working on a unified upload-archive which would supersede this when done, so better not to get in their way. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-05Teach rev-list an option to read revs from the standard input.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
When --stdin option is given, in addition to the <rev>s listed on the command line, the command can read one rev parameter per line from the standard input. The list of revs ends at the first empty line or EOF. Note that you still have to give all the flags from the command line; only rev arguments (including A..B, A...B, and A^@ notations) can be give from the standard input. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-04unpack-objects desperately salvages objects from a corrupt packLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+7
The command unpack-objects dies upon the first error. This is probably considered a feature -- if a pack is corrupt, instead of trying to extract from it and possibly risking to contaminate a good repository with objects whose validity is dubious, we should seek a good copy of the pack and retry. However, we may not have any good copy anywhere. This implements the last resort effort to extract what are salvageable from such a corrupt pack. This flag might have helped Sergio when recovering from a corrupt pack. In my test, it managed to salvage 247 objects out of a pack that had 251 objects but without it the command stopped after extracting 73 objects. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-08-27git-apply --reject: finishing touches.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
After a failed "git am" attempt: git apply --reject --verbose .dotest/patch applies hunks that are applicable and leaves *.rej files the rejected hunks, and it reports what it is doing. With --index, files with a rejected hunk do not get their index entries updated at all, so "git diff" will show the hunks that successfully got applied. Without --verbose to remind the user that the patch updated some other paths cleanly, it is very easy to lose track of the status of the working tree, so --reject implies --verbose.

2006-08-26Add git-zip-treeLibravatar Rene Scharfe1-0/+67
In the Windows world ZIP files are better supported than tar files. Windows even includes built-in support for ZIP files nowadays. git-zip-tree is similar to git-tar-tree; it creates ZIP files out of git trees. It stores the commit ID (if available) in a ZIP file comment which can be extracted by unzip. There's still quite some room for improvement: this initial version supports no symlinks, calls write() way too often (three times per file) and there is no unit test.
