2018-06-27commit-graph: update design documentLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-22/+0
The commit-graph feature is now integrated with 'fsck' and 'gc', so remove those items from the "Future Work" section of the commit-graph design document. Also remove the section on lazy-loading trees, as that was completed in an earlier patch series.

2018-06-27gc: automatically write commit-graph filesLibravatar Derrick Stolee2-3/+10
The commit-graph file is a very helpful feature for speeding up git operations. In order to make it more useful, make it possible to write the commit-graph file during standard garbage collection operations. Add a 'gc.commitGraph' config setting that triggers writing a commit-graph file after any non-trivial 'git gc' command. Defaults to false while the commit-graph feature matures. We specifically do not want to have this on by default until the commit-graph feature is fully integrated with history-modifying features like shallow clones.

2018-06-27commit-graph: add '--reachable' optionLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-2/+6
When writing commit-graph files, it can be convenient to ask for all reachable commits (starting at the ref set) in the resulting file. This is particularly helpful when writing to stdin is complicated, such as a future integration with 'git gc'.

2018-06-27fsck: verify commit-graphLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+3
If core.commitGraph is true, verify the contents of the commit-graph during 'git fsck' using the 'git commit-graph verify' subcommand. Run this check on all alternates, as well. We use a new process for two reasons: 1. The subcommand decouples the details of loading and verifying a commit-graph file from the other fsck details. 2. The commit-graph verification requires the commits to be loaded in a specific order to guarantee we parse from the commit-graph file for some objects and from the object database for others.

2018-06-27commit-graph: add 'verify' subcommandLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+6
If the commit-graph file becomes corrupt, we need a way to verify that its contents match the object database. In the manner of 'git fsck' we will implement a 'git commit-graph verify' subcommand to report all issues with the file. Add the 'verify' subcommand to the 'commit-graph' builtin and its documentation. The subcommand is currently a no-op except for loading the commit-graph into memory, which may trigger run-time errors that would be caught by normal use. Add a simple test that ensures the command returns a zero error code. If no commit-graph file exists, this is an acceptable state. Do not report any errors.

2018-06-25Merge branch 'nd/diff-apply-ita'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+9
"git diff" compares the index and the working tree. For paths added with intent-to-add bit, the command shows the full contents of them as added, but the paths themselves were not marked as new files. They are now shown as new by default. "git apply" learned the "--intent-to-add" option so that an otherwise working-tree-only application of a patch will add new paths to the index marked with the "intent-to-add" bit. * nd/diff-apply-ita: apply: add --intent-to-add t2203: add a test about "diff HEAD" case diff: turn --ita-invisible-in-index on by default diff: ignore --ita-[in]visible-in-index when diffing worktree-to-tree

2018-06-13RelNotes 2.18: clarify where directory rename detection appliesLibravatar Elijah Newren1-1/+1
Mention that this feature works with some commands (merge and cherry-pick, implying that it also works with commands that build on these like rebase -m and rebase -i). Explicitly mentioning two commands hopefully implies that it may not always work with other commands (am, and rebase without flags that imply either -m or -i). Also, since the directory rename detection from this cycle was specifically added in merge-recursive and not diffcore-rename, remove the 'in "diff" family" phrase from the note. (Folks have requested in the past that `git diff` detect directory renames and somehow simplify its output, so it may be helpful to avoid implying that diff has any new capability here.)

Add an option to the git-p4 submit command to disable syncing with Perforce.

2018-06-12git-p4: add options --commit and --disable-rebaseLibravatar Romain Merland1-0/+14
On a daily work with multiple local git branches, the usual way to submit only a specified commit was to cherry-pick the commit on master then run git-p4 submit. It can be very annoying to switch between local branches and master, only to submit one commit. The proposed new way is to select directly the commit you want to submit. Add option --commit to command 'git-p4 submit' in order to submit only specified commit(s) in p4. On a daily work developping software with big compilation time, one may not want to rebase on his local git tree, in order to avoid long recompilation. Add option --disable-rebase to command 'git-p4 submit' in order to disable rebase after submission.
