2015-09-17ref-filter: add support to sort by versionLibravatar Karthik Nayak1-0/+3
Add support to sort by version using the "v:refname" and "version:refname" option. This is achieved by using the 'versioncmp()' function as the comparing function for qsort. This option is included to support sorting by versions in `git tag -l` which will eventually be ported to use ref-filter APIs. Add documentation and tests for the same.

2015-09-17ref-filter: add support for %(contents:lines=X)Libravatar Karthik Nayak1-1/+2
In 'tag.c' we can print N lines from the annotation of the tag using the '-n<num>' option. Copy code from 'tag.c' to 'ref-filter' and modify it to support appending of N lines from the annotation of tags to the given strbuf. Implement %(contents:lines=X) where X lines of the given object are obtained. While we're at it, remove unused "contents:<suboption>" atoms from the `valid_atom` array. Add documentation and test for the same.

2015-09-17ref-filter: implement an `align` atomLibravatar Karthik Nayak1-0/+11
Implement an `align` atom which left-, middle-, or right-aligns the content between %(align:...) and %(end). The "align:" is followed by `<width>` and `<position>` in any order separated by a comma, where the `<position>` is either left, right or middle, default being left and `<width>` is the total length of the content with alignment. If the contents length is more than the width then no alignment is performed. e.g. to align a refname atom to the middle with a total width of 40 we can do: --format="%(align:middle,40)%(refname)%(end)". We introduce an `at_end` function for each element of the stack which is to be called when the `end` atom is encountered. Using this we implement end_align_handler() for the `align` atom, this aligns the final strbuf by calling `strbuf_utf8_align()` from utf8.c. Ensure that quote formatting is performed on the whole of %(align:...)...%(end) rather than individual atoms inside. We skip quote formatting for individual atoms when the current stack element is handling an %(align:...) atom and perform quote formatting at the end when we encounter the %(end) atom of the second element of then stack. Add documentation and tests for the same.

The "rev-parse --parseopt" mode parsed the option specification and the argument hint in a strange way to allow '=' and other special characters in the option name while forbidding them from the argument hint.

2015-07-28Documentation/git-tools: retire manually-maintained listLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-81/+7
When Git was young, people looking for third-party Git-related tools came to the Git project itself to find them, so it made sense to maintain a list of tools here. These days, however, search engines fill that role much more efficiently, so retire the manually-maintained list. The list of front-ends and tools on the Git wiki rates perhaps a distant second to search engines, and may still have value, so retain a reference to it.

2015-07-27refs: loosen restriction on wildcard "*" refspecsLibravatar Jacob Keller1-2/+2
Loosen restrictions on refspecs by allowing patterns that have a "*" within a component instead of only as the whole component. Remove the logic to accept a single "*" as a whole component from check_refname_format(), and implement an extended form of that logic in check_refname_component(). Pass the pointer to the flags argument to the latter, as it has to clear REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN bit when it sees "*". Teach check_refname_component() function to allow an asterisk "*" only when REFNAME_REFSPEC_PATTERN is set in the flags, and drop the bit after seeing a "*", to ensure that one side of a refspec contains at most one asterisk. This will allow us to accept refspecs such as `for/bar*:foo/baz*`. Any refspec which functioned before shall continue functioning with the new logic.

Add support for Fountain, a plain text screenplay format. Git facilitates not just programming specifically, but creative writing in general, so it makes sense to also support other plain text documents besides source code. In the structure of a screenplay specifically, scenes are roughly analogous to functions, in the sense that it makes your job easier if you can see which ones were changed in a given range of patches.

Allow the creation of a ref (e.g. stash) with a reflog already in place. For most refs (e.g. those under refs/heads), this happens automatically, but for others, we need this option. Currently, git does this by pre-creating the reflog, but alternate ref backends might store reflogs somewhere other than .git/logs. Code that now directly manipulates .git/logs should instead use git plumbing commands. I also added --create-reflog to git tag, just for completeness. In a moment, we will use this argument to make git stash work with alternate ref backends. Signed-off-by: David Turner <dturner@twopensource.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
