2010-08-11unpack_trees: group error messages by typeLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+2
When an error is encountered, it calls add_rejected_file() which either - directly displays the error message and stops if in plumbing mode (i.e. if show_all_errors is not initialized at 1) - or stores it so that it will be displayed at the end with display_error_msgs(), Storing the files by error type permits to have a list of files for which there is the same error instead of having a serie of almost identical errors. As each bind_overlap error combines a file and an old file, a list cannot be done, therefore, theses errors are not stored but directly displayed.

2010-08-11rebase -i: add exec command to launch a shell commandLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+24
The typical usage pattern would be to run a test (or simply a compilation command) at given points in history. The shell command is ran (from the worktree root), and the rebase is stopped when the command fails, to give the user an opportunity to fix the problem before continuing with "git rebase --continue". This needs a little rework of skip_unnecessary_picks, which wasn't robust enough to deal with lines like exec >"file name with many spaces" in the todolist. The new version extracts command, sha1 and rest from each line, but outputs the line itself verbatim to avoid changing the whitespace layout.

2010-08-09Add the 'diff.ignoreSubmodules' config settingLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+6
When you have a lot of submodules checked out, the time penalty to check for dirty submodules can easily imply a multiplication of the total time by the factor 20. This makes the difference between almost instantaneous (< 2 seconds) and unbearably slow (> 50 seconds) here, since the disk caches are constantly overloaded. To this end, the submodule.*.ignore config option was introduced, but it is per-submodule. This commit introduces a global config setting to set a default (porcelain) value for the --ignore-submodules option, keeping the default at 'none'. It can be overridden by the submodule.*.ignore setting and by the --ignore-submodules option. Incidentally, this commit fixes an issue with the overriding logic: multiple --ignore-submodules options would not clear the previously set flags. While at it, fix a typo in the documentation for submodule.*.ignore. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-08-09Submodules: Use "ignore" settings from .gitmodules too for diff and statusLibravatar Jens Lehmann4-2/+20
The .gitmodules file is parsed for "submodule.<name>.ignore" entries before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in .git/config will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the local developer to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting upstream set defaults for those users who don't have special needs.

2010-08-09Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for diff and statusLibravatar Jens Lehmann3-2/+20
The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each submodule. The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept the new parameter "none" for both status and diff. Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan. This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff): "all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored. "dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules. "untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored, a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it as modified. "none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the "--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status" so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

2010-08-03rebase: support -X to pass through strategy optionsLibravatar Mike Lundy1-0/+7
git-rebase calls out to merge strategies, but did not support merge strategy options so far. Add this, in the same style used in git-merge. Sadly we have to do the full quoting/eval dance here, since merge-recursive supports the --subtree=<path> option which potentially contains whitespace. This patch does not cover git rebase -i, which does not call any merge strategy directly except in --preserve-merges, and even then only for merges.

2010-08-02Documentation: flesh out “git pull” descriptionLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-11/+54
The current description in the pull man page does not say much more than that “git pull” is fetch + merge. Though that is all a person needs to know in the end, it would be useful to summarize a bit about what those commands do for new readers. Most of this description is taken from the “git merge” docs. Now that we explain how to back out of a failed merge (reset --merge), we can tone down the warning against that a bit. Except, as Thomas noticed, there’s a risk with that because people might read this version of the manpage online and then conclude that it is safe to try a merge with uncommitted changes, only to find that their “git reset” doesn't support --merge yet. Or worse, verify that their git-reset has --merge by a quick test (1b5b465 is in 1.6.2) but then find that it does not help with backing out of a merge (e11d7b5 is only in 1.7.0!). So keep the warning. With clarifications from Ævar, Thomas, and Junio.

2010-08-02Documentation/rev-parse: quoting is required with --parseoptLibravatar Thomas Rast1-2/+5
When calling rev-parse --parseopt, as in the (now fixed) documented example eval "$(echo "$OPTS_SPEC" | git rev-parse --parseopt -- "$@" || echo exit $?)" the outermost quoting is required, as otherwise all runs of arbitrary whitespace inside the resulting 'set -- ...' call would be collapsed into a single space. This was exposed as a result of our new use of cat <<\EOF since 47e9cd2 (parseopt: wrap rev-parse --parseopt usage for eval consumption, 2010-06-12), but has always been a problem when handling arguments containing e.g. newlines. Point this out in the documentation, and in particular correct the example that did not have the quotes.

The behavior of "git ls-files -t" is very misleading (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/126516 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/144394/focus=144397 for examples of mislead users) and badly documented, hence we point the users to superior alternatives. The feature is marked as "semi-obsolete" but not "scheduled for removal" since it's a plumbing command, scripts might use it, and Git testsuite already uses it to test the state of the index.

The wording of the Signed-off-by rules could be read as stating that S-O-B should only be added when the submitter considered the patch ready for inclusion in git.git. We also want Signed-off-by to be used for e.g. RFC patches, in case someone wants to dig an old patch out of the archive and improve it. Change the wording to recommend a Signed-off-by for all submitted patches. The problem with the wording came up in the "[PATCH/RFC] Hacky version of a glob() driven config include" thread[1]. Bert Wesarg suggested[2] that it be removed to avoid confusion, which this change implements. 1. <1273180440-8641-1-git-send-email-avarab@gmail.com> 2. <AANLkTimziTKL13VKIOcaS1TX1F_xvTVjH8Q398Yx36Us@mail.gmail.com> Suggested-by: Bert Wesarg <bert.wesarg@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
