2015-06-24Merge branch 'jc/ll-merge-expose-path'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4

2015-06-04ll-merge: pass the original path to external driversLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
The interface to custom low-level merge driver was modeled to be capable of driving programs like "merge" (from the RCS suite) that can produce result solely by looking at three files that hold contents of common ancestor, ours and theirs. The information we feed to the external drivers via the command line placeholders %O, %A, and %B were designed to be purely about contents by giving names of the temporary files that hold these variants without exposing the original pathname. No matter where the result goes, merging the same three variants should produce the same result, contents is the king, that is the Git way. The external driver interface, however, is meant to help people to step outside the Git worldview, and sometimes people want to know the final path that the resulting merged contents would be stored in. Expose this to the external drivers via a new placeholder %P. Requested-by: Andreas Gondek Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-06-02pull: handle git-fetch's options as wellLibravatar Paul Tan1-3/+0
While parsing the command-line arguments, git-pull stops parsing at the first unrecognized option, assuming that any subsequent options are for git-fetch, and can thus be kept in the shell's positional parameters list, so that it can be passed to git-fetch via the expansion of "$@". However, certain functions in git-pull assume that the positional parameters do not contain any options: * error_on_no_merge_candidates() uses the number of positional parameters to determine which error message to print out, and will thus print the wrong message if git-fetch's options are passed in as well. * the call to get_remote_merge_branch() assumes that the positional parameters only contains the optional repo and refspecs, and will thus silently fail if git-fetch's options are passed in as well. * --dry-run is a valid git-fetch option, but if provided after any git-fetch options, it is not recognized by git-pull and thus git-pull will continue to run the merge or rebase. Fix these bugs by teaching git-pull to parse git-fetch's options as well. Add tests to prevent regressions. This removes the limitation where git-fetch's options have to come after git-merge's and git-rebase's options on the command line. Update the documentation to reflect this.
