2018-11-17fast-export: add a --show-original-ids option to show original namesLibravatar Elijah Newren2-0/+23
Knowing the original names (hashes) of commits can sometimes enable post-filtering that would otherwise be difficult or impossible. In particular, the desire to rewrite commit messages which refer to other prior commits (on top of whatever other filtering is being done) is very difficult without knowing the original names of each commit. In addition, knowing the original names (hashes) of blobs can allow filtering by blob-id without requiring re-hashing the content of the blob, and is thus useful as a small optimization. Once we add original ids for both commits and blobs, we may as well add them for tags too for completeness. Perhaps someone will have a use for them. This commit teaches a new --show-original-ids option to fast-export which will make it add a 'original-oid <hash>' line to blob, commits, and tags. It also teaches fast-import to parse (and ignore) such lines. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Acked-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-11-17fast-export: add --reference-excluded-parents optionLibravatar Elijah Newren1-2/+15
git filter-branch has a nifty feature allowing you to rewrite, e.g. just the last 8 commits of a linear history git filter-branch $OPTIONS HEAD~8..HEAD If you try the same with git fast-export, you instead get a history of only 8 commits, with HEAD~7 being rewritten into a root commit. There are two alternatives: 1) Don't use the negative revision specification, and when you're filtering the output to make modifications to the last 8 commits, just be careful to not modify any earlier commits somehow. 2) First run 'git fast-export --export-marks=somefile HEAD~8', then run 'git fast-export --import-marks=somefile HEAD~8..HEAD'. Both are more error prone than I'd like (the first for obvious reasons; with the second option I have sometimes accidentally included too many revisions in the first command and then found that the corresponding extra revisions were not exported by the second command and thus were not modified as I expected). Also, both are poor from a performance perspective. Add a new --reference-excluded-parents option which will cause fast-export to refer to commits outside the specified rev-list-args range by their sha1sum. Such a stream will only be useful in a repository which already contains the necessary commits (much like the restriction imposed when using --no-data). Note from Peff: I think we might be able to do a little more optimization here. If we're exporting HEAD^..HEAD and there's an object in HEAD^ which is unchanged in HEAD, I think we'd still print it (because it would not be marked SHOWN), but we could omit it (by walking the tree of the boundary commits and marking them shown). I don't think it's a blocker for what you're doing here, but just a possible future optimization.

A pattern with '**' that does not have a slash on either side used to be an invalid one, but the code now treats such double-asterisks the same way as two normal asterisks that happen to be adjacent to each other. * nd/wildmatch-double-asterisk: wildmatch: change behavior of "foo**bar" in WM_PATHNAME mode

2018-10-31mingw: unset PERL5LIB by defaultLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+6
Git for Windows ships with its own Perl interpreter, and insists on using it, so it will most likely wreak havoc if PERL5LIB is set before launching Git. Let's just unset that environment variables when spawning processes. To make this feature extensible (and overrideable), there is a new config setting `core.unsetenvvars` that allows specifying a comma-separated list of names to unset before spawning processes.

2018-10-29wildmatch: change behavior of "foo**bar" in WM_PATHNAME modeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+2
In WM_PATHNAME mode (or FNM_PATHNAME), '*' does not match '/' and '**' can but only in three patterns: - '**/' matches zero or more leading directories - '/**/' matches zero or more directories in between - '/**' matches zero or more trailing directories/files When '**' is present but not in one of these patterns, the current behavior is consider the pattern invalid and stop matching. In other words, 'foo**bar' never matches anything, whatever you throw at it. This behavior is arguably a bit confusing partly because we can't really tell the user their pattern is invalid so that they can fix it. So instead, tolerate it and make '**' act like two regular '*'s (which is essentially the same as a single asterisk). This behavior seems more predictable.
