2014-09-19Merge branch 'jk/fast-export-anonymize'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+61
Sometimes users want to report a bug they experience on their repository, but they are not at liberty to share the contents of the repository. "fast-export" was taught an "--anonymize" option to replace blob contents, names of people and paths and log messages with bland and simple strings to help them. * jk/fast-export-anonymize: docs/fast-export: explain --anonymize more completely teach fast-export an --anonymize option
2014-09-19Merge branch 'jk/send-pack-many-refspecs'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+12
The number of refs that can be pushed at once over smart HTTP was limited by the command line length. The limitation has been lifted by passing these refs from the standard input of send-pack. * jk/send-pack-many-refspecs: send-pack: take refspecs over stdin
2014-09-14git svn: find-rev allows short switches for near matchesLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+2
Allow -B and -A to act as short aliases for --before and --after options respectively. This reduces typing and hopefully allows reuse of muscle memory for grep(1) users. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

2014-08-27teach fast-export an --anonymize optionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
Sometimes users want to report a bug they experience on their repository, but they are not at liberty to share the contents of the repository. It would be useful if they could produce a repository that has a similar shape to its history and tree, but without leaking any information. This "anonymized" repository could then be shared with developers (assuming it still replicates the original problem). This patch implements an "--anonymize" option to fast-export, which generates a stream that can recreate such a repository. Producing a single stream makes it easy for the caller to verify that they are not leaking any useful information. You can get an overview of what will be shared by running a command like: git fast-export --anonymize --all | perl -pe 's/\d+/X/g' | sort -u | less which will show every unique line we generate, modulo any numbers (each anonymized token is assigned a number, like "User 0", and we replace it consistently in the output). In addition to anonymizing, this produces test cases that are relatively small (compared to the original repository) and fast to generate (compared to using filter-branch, or modifying the output of fast-export yourself). Here are numbers for git.git: $ time git fast-export --anonymize --all \ --tag-of-filtered-object=drop >output real 0m2.883s user 0m2.828s sys 0m0.052s $ gzip output $ ls -lh output.gz | awk '{print $5}' 2.9M Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-08-26send-pack: take refspecs over stdinLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+12
Pushing a large number of refs works over most transports, because we implement send-pack as an internal function. However, it can sometimes fail when pushing over http, because we have to spawn "git send-pack --stateless-rpc" to do the heavy lifting, and we pass each refspec on the command line. This can cause us to overflow the OS limits on the size of the command line for a large push. We can solve this by giving send-pack a --stdin option and using it from remote-curl. We already dealt with this on the fetch-pack side in 078b895 (fetch-pack: new --stdin option to read refs from stdin, 2012-04-02). The stdin option (and in particular, its use of packet-lines for stateless-rpc input) is modeled after that solution.

2014-08-26abspath: convert absolute_path() to strbufLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+6
Move most of the code of absolute_path() into the new function strbuf_add_absolute_path() and in the process transform it to use struct strbuf and xgetcwd() instead of a PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which can be too small on some file systems.

2014-08-20run-command: introduce CHILD_PROCESS_INITLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+2
Most struct child_process variables are cleared using memset first after declaration. Provide a macro, CHILD_PROCESS_INIT, that can be used to initialize them statically instead. That's shorter, doesn't require a function call and is slightly more readable (especially given that we already have STRBUF_INIT, ARGV_ARRAY_INIT etc.).

2014-08-18diff --stat: mark any file larger than core.bigfilethreshold binaryLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2-3/+4
Too large files may lead to failure to allocate memory. If it happens here, it could impact quite a few commands that involve diff. Moreover, too large files are inefficient to compare anyway (and most likely non-text), so mark them binary and skip looking at their content. Noticed-by: Dale R.

"Current branch is a descendant of the commit you are rebasing onto" does not necessarily mean "rebase" requires "--force". For a plain vanilla "history flattening" rebase, the rebase can be done without forcing if there is a merge between the tip of the branch being rebased and the commit you are rebasing onto, even if the tip is descendant of the other.

Add `git_die_config` that dies printing the line number and the file name of the highest priority value for the configuration variable `key`. A custom error message is also printed before dying, specified by the caller, which can be skipped if `err` argument is set to NULL. It has usage in non-callback based config value retrieval where we can raise an error and die if there is a semantic error. For example, if (!git_config_get_value(key, &value)){ if (!strcmp(value, "foo")) git_config_die(key, "value: `%s` is illegal", value); else /* do work */ } Signed-off-by: Tanay Abhra <tanayabh@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-08-05config: teach "git -c" to recognize an empty stringLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
In a config file, you can do: [foo] bar to turn the "foo.bar" boolean flag on, and you can do: [foo] bar= to set "foo.bar" to the empty string. However, git's "-c" parameter treats both: git -c foo.bar and git -c foo.bar= as the boolean flag, and there is no way to set a variable to the empty string.
