The caret (^) is used as a markup symbol in AsciiDoc. Due to the inability of AsciiDoc to parse a line containing an unmatched caret, it omitted the line from the output, resulting in the man page missing the end of a sentence. Escape this caret so that the man page ends up with the complete text. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-07-13git: add performance tracing for git's main() function to debug scriptsLibravatar Karsten Blees1-0/+5
Use trace_performance to measure and print execution time and command line arguments of the entire main() function. In constrast to the shell's 'time' utility, which measures total time of the parent process, this logs all involved git commands recursively. This is particularly useful to debug performance issues of scripted commands (i.e. which git commands were called with which parameters, and how long did they execute). Due to git's deliberate use of exit(), the implementation uses an atexit routine rather than just adding trace_performance_since() at the end of main(). Usage example: > GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=~/git-trace.log git stash list Creates a log file like this: 23:57:38.638765 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000310107 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--git-dir' 23:57:38.644387 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000261759 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--show-toplevel' 23:57:38.646207 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000304468 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-colorbool' 'color.interactive' 23:57:38.648491 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000241667 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-color' 'color.interactive.help' 'red bold' 23:57:38.650465 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000243063 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-color' '' 'reset' 23:57:38.654850 trace.c:405 performance: 0.025126313 s: git command: 'git' 'stash' 'list' Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-07-07hashmap: add string interning APILibravatar Karsten Blees1-0/+15
Interning short strings with high probability of duplicates can reduce the memory footprint and speed up comparisons. Add strintern() and memintern() APIs that use a hashmap to manage the pool of unique, interned strings. Note: strintern(getenv()) could be used to sanitize git's use of getenv(), in case we ever encounter a platform where a call to getenv() invalidates previous getenv() results (which is allowed by POSIX).

2014-07-07hashmap: add simplified hashmap_get_from_hash() APILibravatar Karsten Blees1-0/+14
Hashmap entries are typically looked up by just a key. The hashmap_get() API expects an initialized entry structure instead, to support compound keys. This flexibility is currently only needed by find_dir_entry() in name-hash.c (and compat/win32/fscache.c in the msysgit fork). All other (currently five) call sites of hashmap_get() have to set up a near emtpy entry structure, resulting in duplicate code like this: struct hashmap_entry keyentry; hashmap_entry_init(&keyentry, hash(key)); return hashmap_get(map, &keyentry, key); Add a hashmap_get_from_hash() API that allows hashmap lookups by just specifying the key and its hash code, i.e.: return hashmap_get_from_hash(map, hash(key), key); Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Copying the first bytes of a SHA1 is duplicated in six places, however, the implications (the actual value would depend on the endianness of the platform) is documented only once.

2014-06-25replace: add a --raw mode for --editLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
One of the purposes of "git replace --edit" is to help a user repair objects which are malformed or corrupted. Usually we pretty-print trees with "ls-tree", which is much easier to work with than the raw binary data. However, some forms of corruption break the tree-walker, in which case our pretty-printing fails, rendering "--edit" useless for the user. This patch introduces a "--raw" option, which lets you edit the binary data in these instances. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

"git status" (and "git commit") behaved as if changes in a modified submodule are not there if submodule.*.ignore configuration is set, which was misleading. The configuration is only to unclutter diff output during the course of development, and should not to hide changes in the "status" output to cause the users forget to commit them. * jl/status-added-submodule-is-never-ignored: commit -m: commit staged submodules regardless of ignore config status/commit: show staged submodules regardless of ignore config
2014-06-23verify-commit: scriptable commit signature verificationLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+28
Commit signatures can be verified using "git show -s --show-signature" or the "%G?" pretty format and parsing the output, which is well suited for user inspection, but not for scripting. Provide a command "verify-commit" which is analogous to "verify-tag": It returns 0 for good signatures and non-zero otherwise, has the gpg output on stderr and (optionally) the commit object on stdout, sans the signature, just like "verify-tag" does.
