2012-05-25config doc: remove confusion about relative GIT_DIR from FILES sectionLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+1
From the FILES section of the git-config(1) manual: $GIT_DIR/config:: Repository specific configuration file. (The filename is of course relative to the repository root, not the working directory.) That's confusing because $GIT_DIR really is relative to the working directory. $ GIT_DIR=.git GIT_EDITOR='pwd; echo editing' $ export GIT_DIR GIT_EDITOR $ git config --edit --local /home/jrn/src/git/Documentation editing .git/config It turns out that the comment is a remnant from older days when the heading said ".git/config" (which is indeed relative to the top of the worktree). It was only when the heading was changed to refer more precisely to <git dir>/config (see v1.5.3.2~18, AsciiDoc tweak to avoid leading dot, 2007-09-14) that the parenthesis stopped making sense. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-05-22ident: report passwd errors with a more friendly messageLibravatar Jeff King2-10/+0
When getpwuid fails, we give a cute but cryptic message. While it makes sense if you know that getpwuid or identity functions are being called, this code is triggered behind the scenes by quite a few git commands these days (e.g., receive-pack on a remote server might use it for a reflog; the current message is hard to distinguish from an authentication error). Let's switch to something that gives a little more context. While we're at it, we can factor out all of the cut-and-pastes of the "you don't exist" message into a wrapper function. Rather than provide xgetpwuid, let's make it even more specific to just getting the passwd entry for the current uid. That's the only way we use getpwuid anyway, and it lets us make an even more specific error message. The current message also fails to mention errno. While the usual cause for getpwuid failing is that the user does not exist, mentioning errno makes it easier to diagnose these problems. Note that POSIX specifies that errno remain untouched if the passwd entry does not exist (but will be set on actual errors), whereas some systems will return ENOENT or similar for a missing entry. We handle both cases in our wrapper. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-05-22drop length limitations on gecos-derived names and emailsLibravatar Jeff King2-8/+0
When we pull the user's name from the GECOS field of the passwd file (or generate an email address based on their username and hostname), we put the result into a static buffer. While it's extremely unlikely that anybody ever hit these limits (after all, in such a case their parents must have hated them), we still had to deal with the error cases in our code. Converting these static buffers to strbufs lets us simplify the code and drop some error messages from the documentation that have confused some users. The conversion is mostly mechanical: replace string copies with strbuf equivalents, and access the strbuf.buf directly. There are a few exceptions: - copy_gecos and copy_email are the big winners in code reduction (since they no longer have to manage the string length manually) - git_ident_config wants to replace old versions of the default name (e.g., if we read the config multiple times), so it must reset+add to the strbuf instead of just adding Note that there is still one length limitation: the gethostname interface requires us to provide a static buffer, so we arbitrarily choose 1024 bytes for the hostname.

2012-05-20grep: support newline separated pattern listLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+3
Currently, patterns that contain newline characters don't match anything when given to git grep. Regular grep(1) interprets patterns as lists of newline separated search strings instead. Implement this functionality by creating and inserting extra grep_pat structures for patterns consisting of multiple lines when appending to the pattern lists. For simplicity, all pattern strings are duplicated. The original pattern is truncated in place to make it contain only the first line.

2012-05-18rev-parse doc: --git-dir does not always show a relative pathLibravatar Jon Seymour1-1/+2
The description was misleading because it lead the reader to believe that --git-dir would always show a relative path when, in fact, the actual behaviour does not guarantee this. Rather, it was intended that the advice be given that if a relative path is shown, then the path is relative to the current working directory and not some other directory (for example, the root of the working tree).

2012-05-17git-svn: clarify the referent of dcommit's optional argumentLibravatar Jon Seymour1-20/+19
The documentation of the dcommit subcommand is reworded to clarify that the optional argument refers to a git branch, not an SVN branch. The discussion of the optional argument is put into its own paragraph as is the guidance about using 'dcommit' in preference to 'set-tree'. The section on REBASE vs. PULL/MERGE is reworded to incorporate the advice to prefer 'git rebase' previously in the description of 'dcommit'.

2012-05-16git-svn: support rebase --preserve-mergesLibravatar Avishay Lavie1-0/+2
When git svn rebase is performed after an unpushed merge, the rebase operation follows both parents and replays both the user's local commits and those from the merged branch. This is usually not the intended behavior. This patch adds support for the --preserve-merges/-p flag which allows for a better workflow by re-applying merge commits as merges.

There is no reason not to, as the user has to explicitly ask for it, so we are not breaking compatibility by doing so.

2012-05-07index-pack: support multithreaded delta resolvingLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+10
This puts delta resolving on each base on a separate thread, one base cache per thread. Per-thread data is grouped in struct thread_local. When running with nr_threads == 1, no pthreads calls are made. The system essentially runs in non-thread mode. An experiment on a Xeon 24 core machine with git.git shows that performance does not increase proportional to the number of cores. So by default, we use maximum 3 cores.
