2017-03-27Merge branch 'sb/describe-broken'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+8
"git describe --dirty" dies when it cannot be determined if the state in the working tree matches that of HEAD (e.g. broken repository or broken submodule). The command learned a new option "git describe --broken" to give "$name-broken" (where $name is the description of HEAD) in such a case. * sb/describe-broken: builtin/describe: introduce --broken flag

2017-03-22builtin/describe: introduce --broken flagLibravatar Stefan Beller1-3/+8
git-describe tells you the version number you're at, or errors out, e.g. when you run it outside of a repository, which may happen when downloading a tar ball instead of using git to obtain the source code. To keep this property of only erroring out, when not in a repository, severe (submodule) errors must be downgraded to reporting them gently instead of having git-describe error out completely. To achieve that a flag '--broken' is introduced, which is in the same vein as '--dirty' but uses an actual child process to check for dirtiness. When that child dies unexpectedly, we'll append '-broken' instead of '-dirty'. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-03-20push: mention "push.default=tracking" in the documentationLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+2
Change the documentation for push.tracking=* to re-include a mention of what "tracking" does. The "tracking" option was renamed to "upstream" back in 53c4031 ("push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'", 2011-02-16), this section was then subsequently rewritten in 87a70e4 ("config doc: rewrite push.default section", 2013-06-19) to remove any mention of "tracking". Maybe we should just warn or die nowadays if this option is in the config, but I had some old config of mine use this option, I'd forgotten that it was a synonym, and nothing in git's documentation mentioned that. That's bad, either we shouldn't support it at all, or we should document what it does. This patch does the latter.

2017-03-17credential-cache: use XDG_CACHE_HOME for socketLibravatar Devin Lehmacher1-4/+7
Make git-credential-cache follow the XDG base path specification by default. This increases consistency with other applications and helps keep clutter out of users' home directories. Check the old socket location, ~/.git-credential-cache/, and use ~/.git-credential-cache/socket if that directory exists rather than forcing users who have used `git credential-cache` before to migrate to the new XDG compliant location. Otherwise use the socket $XDG_CACHE_HOME/git/credential/socket following XDG base path specification. Use the subdirectory credential/ in case other files are cached under $XDG_CACHE_HOME/git/ in the future and to make the socket's purpose clear.

A new known failure mode is introduced[1], which is actually not a failure but a feature in read-tree. Unlike checkout for which the recursive submodule tests were originally written, read-tree does warn about ignored untracked files that would be overwritten.

2017-03-11config: add conditional includeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+63
Sometimes a set of repositories want to share configuration settings among themselves that are distinct from other such sets of repositories. A user may work on two projects, each of which have multiple repositories, and use one user.email for one project while using another for the other. Setting $GIT_DIR/.config works, but if the penalty of forgetting to update $GIT_DIR/.config is high (especially when you end up cloning often), it may not be the best way to go. Having the settings in ~/.gitconfig, which would work for just one set of repositories, would not well in such a situation. Having separate ${HOME}s may add more problems than it solves. Extend the include.path mechanism that lets a config file include another config file, so that the inclusion can be done only when some conditions hold. Then ~/.gitconfig can say "include config-project-A only when working on project-A" for each project A the user works on. In this patch, the only supported grouping is based on $GIT_DIR (in absolute path), so you would need to group repositories by directory, or something like that to take advantage of it. We already have include.path for unconditional includes. This patch goes with includeIf.<condition>.path to make it clearer that a condition is required. The new config has the same backward compatibility approach as include.path: older git versions that don't understand includeIf will simply ignore them.
