"git log --graph --no-walk A B..." is a otcnflicting request that asks nonsense; no-walk tells us show discrete points in the history, while graph asks to draw connections between these discrete points.

2015-03-20refs: introduce a "ref paranoia" flagLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+11
Most operations that iterate over refs are happy to ignore broken cruft. However, some operations should be performed with knowledge of these broken refs, because it is better for the operation to choke on a missing object than it is to silently pretend that the ref did not exist (e.g., if we are computing the set of reachable tips in order to prune objects). These processes could just call for_each_rawref, except that ref iteration is often hidden behind other interfaces. For instance, for a destructive "repack -ad", we would have to inform "pack-objects" that we are destructive, and then it would in turn have to tell the revision code that our "--all" should include broken refs. It's much simpler to just set a global for "dangerous" operations that includes broken refs in all iterations.

2015-03-19rev-list: refuse --first-parent combined with --bisectLibravatar Kevin Daudt1-3/+4
rev-list --bisect is used by git bisect, but never together with --first-parent. Because rev-list --bisect together with --first-parent is not handled currently, and even leads to segfaults, refuse to use both options together. Because this is not supported, it makes little sense to use git log --bisect --first parent either, because refs/heads/bad is not limited to the first parent chain. Helped-by: Junio C.

2015-03-19revision: forbid combining --graph and --no-walkLibravatar Dongcan Jiang1-0/+2
Because "--graph" is about connected history while --no-walk is about discrete points, it does not make sense to allow these two options at the same time. [1] This change makes a few calls to "show --graph" fail in t4052, but asking to show one commit with graph is a nonsensical thing to do. Thus, tests on "show --graph" in t4052 have been removed [2,3]. Same tests on "show" without --graph option have already been tested in 4052. 3 testcases have been added to test this patch.

2015-03-06commit/status: show the index-worktree diff with -v -vLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+4
git commit and git status in long format show the diff between HEAD and the index when given -v. This allows previewing a commit to be made. They also list tracked files with unstaged changes, but without a diff. Introduce '-v -v' which shows the diff between the index and the worktree in addition to the HEAD index diff. This allows a review of unstaged changes which might be missing from the commit. In the case of '-v -v', additonal header lines Changes to be committed: and Changes not staged for commit: are inserted before the diffs, which are equal to those in the status part; the latter preceded by 50*"-" to make it stick out more.

2015-03-05reflog_expire(): ignore --updateref for symbolic referencesLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+2
If we are expiring reflog entries for a symbolic reference, then how should --updateref be handled if the newest reflog entry is expired? Option 1: Update the referred-to reference. (This is what the current code does.) This doesn't make sense, because the referred-to reference has its own reflog, which hasn't been rewritten. Option 2: Update the symbolic reference itself (as in, REF_NODEREF). This would convert the symbolic reference into a non-symbolic reference (e.g., detaching HEAD), which is surely not what a user would expect. Option 3: Error out. This is plausible, but it would make the following usage impossible: git reflog expire ... --updateref --all Option 4: Ignore --updateref for symbolic references. We choose to implement option 4. Note: another problem in this code will be fixed in a moment.
