2011-10-23RelNotes/1.7.7.1: setgid bit patch is about fixing "git init" via Makefile ↵Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+3
setting The change was actually about "git init -s" which sets the setgid bit on SysV-style systems to allow shared access to a repository, and can provoke errors on BSD-style systems, depending on how permissive the filesystem in use wants to be. More to the point, the patch was just taking a fix that arrived for FreeBSD in v1.5.5 days and making it also apply to machines using an (obscure) GNU userland/FreeBSD kernel mixture.

2011-10-17"rebase -i": support special-purpose editor to edit insn sheetLibravatar Peter Oberndorfer1-0/+6
The insn sheet used by "rebase -i" is designed to be easily editable by any text editor, but an editor that is specifically meant for it (but is otherwise unsuitable for editing regular text files) could be useful by allowing drag & drop reordering in a GUI environment, for example. The GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR environment variable and/or the sequence.editor configuration variable can be used to specify such an editor, while allowing the usual editor to be used to edit commit log messages. As usual, the environment variable takes precedence over the configuration variable. It is envisioned that other "sequencer" based tools will use the same mechanism.

Current version is somewhat based on structure of SVN::Web manpage (one of web interfaces for Subversion). gitweb.conf(5) i.e. gitweb configuration manpage now refers to appropriate sections in gitweb(1). gitweb/README now refers to gitweb/INSTALL and gitweb(1) manpage. gitweb/INSTALL now refers to gitweb.conf(5) and gitweb(1).

The manpage was supplemented with description of missing gitweb config variables, and with description of gitweb's %features.

2011-10-16git svn dcommit: new option --interactive.Libravatar Frédéric Heitzmann1-0/+8
Allow the user to check the patch set before it is commited to SVN. It is then possible to accept/discard one patch, accept all, or quit. This interactive mode is similar with 'git send email' behaviour. However, 'git svn dcommit' returns as soon as one patch is discarded. Part of the code was taken from git-send-email.perl (see 'ask' function) Tests several combinations of potential answers to 'git svn dcommit --interactive'. For each of them, test whether patches were commited to SVN or not. Thanks-to Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> for the initial idea.

2011-10-15daemon: give friendlier error messages to clientsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+10
When the git-daemon is asked about an inaccessible repository, it simply hangs up the connection without saying anything further. This makes it hard to distinguish between a repository we cannot access (e.g., due to typo), and a service or network outage. Instead, let's print an "ERR" line, which git clients understand since v1.6.1 (2008-12-24). Because there is a risk of leaking information about non-exported repositories, by default all errors simply say "access denied or repository not exported". Sites which don't have hidden repositories, or don't care, can pass a flag to turn on more specific messages.

2011-10-12Teach merge the '[-e|--edit]' optionLibravatar Jay Soffian1-0/+6
Implemented internally instead of as "git merge --no-commit && git commit" so that "merge --edit" is otherwise consistent (hooks, etc) with "merge". Note: the edit message does not include the status information that one gets with "commit --status" and it is cleaned up after editing like one gets with "commit --cleanup=default". A later patch could add the status information if desired. Note: previously we were not calling stripspace() after running the prepare-commit-msg hook. Now we are, stripping comments and leading/trailing whitespace lines if --edit is given, otherwise only stripping leading/trailing whitespace lines if not given --edit.

2011-10-10diff: add option to show whole functions as contextLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+4
Add the option -W/--function-context to git diff. It is similar to the same option of git grep and expands the context of change hunks so that the whole surrounding function is shown. This "natural" context can allow changes to be understood better. Note: GNU patch doesn't like diffs generated with the new option; it seems to expect context lines to be the same before and after changes. git apply doesn't complain. This implementation has the same shortcoming as the one in grep, namely that there is no way to explicitly find the end of a function. That means that a few lines of extra context are shown, right up to the next recognized function begins. It's already useful in its current form, though. The function get_func_line() in xdiff/xemit.c is extended to work forward as well as backward to find post-context as well as pre-context. It returns the position of the first found matching line. The func_line parameter is made optional, as we don't need it for -W. The enhanced function is then used in xdl_emit_diff() to extend the context as needed. If the added context overlaps with the next change, it is merged into the current hunk. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-10-05Change check_refname_format() to reject unnormalized refnamesLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-8/+18
Since much of the infrastructure does not work correctly with unnormalized refnames, change check_refname_format() to reject them. Similarly, change "git check-ref-format" to reject unnormalized refnames by default. But add an option --normalize, which causes "git check-ref-format" to normalize the refname before checking its format, and print the normalized refname. This is exactly the behavior of the old --print option, which is retained but deprecated. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-10-05Do not allow ".lock" at the end of any refname componentLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-3/+1
Allowing any refname component to end with ".lock" is looking for trouble; for example, $ git br foo.lock/bar $ git br foo fatal: Unable to create '[...]/.git/refs/heads/foo.lock': File exists. Therefore, do not allow any refname component to end with ".lock". Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-10-05git check-ref-format: add options --allow-onelevel and --refspec-patternLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-5/+24
Also add tests of the new options. (Actually, one big reason to add the new options is to make it easy to test check_ref_format(), though the options should also be useful to other scripts.) Interpret the result of check_ref_format() based on which types of refnames are allowed. However, because check_ref_format() can only return a single value, one test case is still broken. Specifically, the case "git check-ref-format --onelevel '*'" incorrectly succeeds because check_ref_format() returns CHECK_REF_FORMAT_ONELEVEL for this refname even though the refname is also CHECK_REF_FORMAT_WILDCARD. The type of check that leads to this failure is used elsewhere in "real" code and could lead to bugs; it will be fixed over the next few commits.
