2010-08-06ll-merge: make flag easier to populateLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-4/+7
ll_merge() takes its options in a flag word, which has a few advantages: - options flags can be cheaply passed around in registers, while an option struct passed by pointer cannot; - callers can easily pass 0 without trouble for no options, while an option struct passed by value would not allow that. The downside is that code to populate and access the flag word can be somewhat opaque. Mitigate that with a few macros.

2010-07-02Avoid conflicts when merging branches with mixed normalizationLibravatar Eyvind Bernhardsen2-0/+44
Currently, merging across changes in line ending normalization is painful since files containing CRLF will conflict with normalized files, even if the only difference between the two versions is the line endings. Additionally, any "real" merge conflicts that exist are obscured because every line in the file has a conflict. Assume you start out with a repo that has a lot of text files with CRLF checked in (A): o---C / \ A---B---D B: Add "* text=auto" to .gitattributes and normalize all files to LF-only C: Modify some of the text files D: Try to merge C You will get a ridiculous number of LF/CRLF conflicts when trying to merge C into D, since the repository contents for C are "wrong" wrt the new .gitattributes file. Fix ll-merge so that the "base", "theirs" and "ours" stages are passed through convert_to_worktree() and convert_to_git() before a three-way merge. This ensures that all three stages are normalized in the same way, removing from consideration differences that are only due to normalization. This feature is optional for now since it changes a low-level mechanism and is not necessary for the majority of users. The "merge.renormalize" config variable enables it.

2010-06-18send-email: ask about and declare 8bit mailsLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+9
git-send-email passes on an 8bit mail as-is even if it does not declare a content-type. Because the user can edit email between format-patch and send-email, such invalid mails are unfortunately not very hard to come by. Make git-send-email stop and ask about the encoding to use if it encounters any such mail. Also provide a configuration setting to permanently configure an encoding.

2010-06-16format-patch: Add a signature option (--signature)Libravatar Stephen Boyd2-0/+13
By default, git uses the version string as the signature for all patches output by format-patch. Many employers (mine included) require the use of a signature on all outgoing mails. In a format-patch | send-email workflow there isn't an easy way to modify the signature without breaking the pipe and manually replacing the version string with the signature required. Instead of doing all that work, add an option (--signature) and a config variable (format.signature) to replace the default git version signature when formatting patches. This does modify the original behavior of format-patch a bit. First off the version string is now placed in the cover letter by default. Secondly, once the configuration variable format.signature is added to the .config file there is no way to revert back to the default git version signature. Instead, specifying the --no-signature option will remove the signature from the patches entirely. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <bebarino@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
