2013-01-23Merge branch 'as/pre-push-hook'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+29

2013-01-18Merge branch 'pe/doc-email-env-is-trumped-by-config'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
In the precedence order, the environment variable $EMAIL comes between the built-in default (i.e. taking value by asking the system's gethostname() etc.) and the user.email configuration variable; the documentation implied that it is stronger than the configuration like $GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL is, which is wrong. * pe/doc-email-env-is-trumped-by-config: git-commit-tree(1): correct description of defaults
2013-01-18push: Add support for pre-push hooksLibravatar Aaron Schrab1-0/+29
Add support for a pre-push hook which can be used to determine if the set of refs to be pushed is suitable for the target repository. The hook is run with two arguments specifying the name and location of the destination repository. Information about what is to be pushed is provided by sending lines of the following form to the hook's standard input: <local ref> SP <local sha1> SP <remote ref> SP <remote sha1> LF If the hook exits with a non-zero status, the push will be aborted. This will allow the script to determine if the push is acceptable based on the target repository and branch(es), the commits which are to be pushed, and even the source branches in some cases.

2013-01-17git-svn: teach find-rev to find near matchesLibravatar John Keeping1-0/+10
When a single SVN repository is split into multiple Git repositories many SVN revisions will exist in only one of the Git repositories created. For some projects the only way to build a working artifact is to check out corresponding versions of various repositories, with no indication of what those are in the Git world - in the SVN world the revision numbers are sufficient. By adding "--before" to "git-svn find-rev" we can say "tell me what this repository looked like when that other repository looked like this": git svn find-rev --before \ r$(git --git-dir=/over/there.git svn find-rev HEAD) Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2013-01-16reset: update documentation to require only tree-ish with pathsLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-9/+9
When resetting with paths, we no longer require a commit argument, but only a tree-ish. Update the documentation and synopsis accordingly. Signed-off-by: Martin von Zweigbergk <martinvonz@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-01-15git p4: fix submit when no master branchLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-0/+5
It finds its upstream and applies the commit properly, but the sync step will fail unless it is told which branch to work on. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-15git p4: fix sync --branch when no master branchLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-0/+5
It is legal to sync a branch with a different name than refs/remotes/p4/master, and to do so even when master does not exist. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-15git p4: allow short ref names to --branchLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-2/+5
For a clone or sync, --branch says where the newly imported branch should go, or which existing branch to sync up. It takes an argument, which is currently either something that starts with "refs/", or if not, "refs/heads/p4" is prepended. Putting it in heads seems like a bad default; these should go in remotes/p4/ in most situations. Make that the new default, and be more liberal in the form of the branch name.

2013-01-15git p4 doc: fix branch detection exampleLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-1/+3
Make sure that the example on how to use git-p4.branchList works if typed directly. In particular, it does not make sense to set a config variable until the git repository has been initialized.

2013-01-15git p4: clone --branch should checkout masterLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-2/+1
When using the --branch argument to "git p4 clone", one might specify a destination for p4 changes different from the default refs/remotes/p4/master. Both cases should create a master branch and checkout files. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
