2017-02-20branch: record creation of renamed branch in HEAD's logLibravatar Kyle Meyer1-2/+3
Renaming the current branch adds an event to the current branch's log and to HEAD's log. However, the logged entries differ. The entry in the branch's log represents the entire renaming operation (the old and new hash are identical), whereas the entry in HEAD's log represents the deletion only (the new sha1 is null). Extend replace_each_worktree_head_symref(), whose only caller is branch_rename(), to take a reflog message argument. This allows the creation of the new ref to be recorded in HEAD's log. As a result, the renaming event is represented by two entries (a deletion and a creation entry) in HEAD's log. It's a bit unfortunate that the branch's log and HEAD's log now represent the renaming event in different ways. Given that the renaming operation is not atomic, the two-entry form is a more accurate representation of the operation and is more useful for debugging purposes if a failure occurs between the deletion and creation events. It would make sense to move the branch's log to the two-entry form, but this would involve changes to how the rename is carried out and to how the update flags and reflogs are processed for deletions, so it may not be worth the effort.

2017-01-31refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = alwaysLibravatar Cornelius Weig1-1/+1
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old history immediately). However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than the performance implications of keeping the log around. This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

2016-11-09create_branch: drop unused "head" parameterLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+1
This function used to have the caller pass in the current value of HEAD, in order to make sure we didn't clobber HEAD. In 55c4a6730, that logic moved to validate_new_branchname(), which just resolves HEAD itself. The parameter to create_branch is now unused. Since we have to update and re-wrap the docstring describing the parameters anyway, let's take this opportunity to break it out into a list, which makes it easier to find the parameters.

2016-04-22worktree.c: check whether branch is rebased in another worktreeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+2
This function find_shared_symref() is used in a couple places: 1) in builtin/branch.c: it's used to detect if a branch is checked out elsewhere and refuse to delete the branch. 2) in builtin/notes.c: it's used to detect if a note is being merged in another worktree 3) in branch.c, the function die_if_checked_out() is actually used by "git checkout" and "git worktree add" to see if a branch is already checked out elsewhere and refuse the operation. In cases 1 and 3, if a rebase is ongoing, "HEAD" will be in detached mode, find_shared_symref() fails to detect it and declares "no branch is checked out here", which is not really what we want. This patch tightens the test. If the given symref is "HEAD", we try to detect if rebase is ongoing. If so return the branch being rebased. This makes checkout and branch delete operations safer because you can't checkout a branch being rebased in another place, or delete it. Special case for checkout. If the current branch is being rebased, git-rebase.sh may use "git checkout" to abort and return back to the original branch. The updated test in find_shared_symref() will prevent that and "git rebase --abort" will fail as a result. find_shared_symref() and die_if_checked_out() have to learn a new option ignore_current_worktree to loosen the test a bit.

2016-04-04branch -m: update all per-worktree HEADsLibravatar Kazuki Yamaguchi1-0/+23
When renaming a branch, currently only the HEAD of current working tree is updated, but it must update HEADs of all working trees which point at the old branch. This is the current behavior, /path/to/wt's HEAD is not updated: % git worktree list /path/to 2c3c5f2 [master] /path/to/wt 2c3c5f2 [oldname] % git branch -m master master2 % git worktree list /path/to 2c3c5f2 [master2] /path/to/wt 2c3c5f2 [oldname] % git branch -m oldname newname % git worktree list /path/to 2c3c5f2 [master2] /path/to/wt 0000000 [oldname] This patch fixes this issue by updating all relevant worktree HEADs when renaming a branch.

2016-02-22config: rename git_config_set to git_config_set_gentlyLibravatar Patrick Steinhardt1-3/+3
The desired default behavior for `git_config_set` is to die whenever an error occurs. Dying is the default for a lot of internal functions when failures occur and is in this case the right thing to do for most callers as otherwise we might run into inconsistent repositories without noticing. As some code may rely on the actual return values for `git_config_set` we still require the ability to invoke these functions without aborting. Rename the existing `git_config_set` functions to `git_config_set_gently` to keep them available for those callers.

When setting up a new tracking branch fails due to issues with the configuration file we do not report any errors to the user and pretend setting the tracking branch succeeded. Setting up the tracking branch is handled by the `install_branch_config` function. We do not want to simply die there as the function is not only invoked when explicitly setting upstream information with `git branch --set-upstream-to=`, but also by `git push --set-upstream` and `git clone`. While it is reasonable to die in the explict first case, we would lose information in the latter two cases, so we only print the error message but continue the program as usual.

2015-08-10memoize common git-path "constant" filesLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+7
One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two drawbacks: 1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc. 2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it correctly at least once), but many of these constant strings appear throughout the code. This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize" these strings, which are essentially globals for the lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for subsequent calls. cache.h provides a helper macro for defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few common ones for global use. Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of the stored values), it will be much easier to have the complete list. Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual declarations. We could do something clever with the macros (e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't that many, and it's probably better to stay away from too-magical macros. Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of generating these with a script, we could get much fancier. E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz". But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the function's definition.

Currently `git_config()` returns an integer signifying an error code. During rewrites of the function most of the code was shifted to `git_config_with_options()`. `git_config_with_options()` normally returns positive values if its `config_source` parameter is set as NULL, as most errors are fatal, and non-fatal potential errors are guarded by "if" statements that are entered only when no error is possible. Still a negative value can be returned in case of race condition between `access_or_die()` & `git_config_from_file()`. Also, all callers of `git_config()` ignore the return value except for one case in branch.c. Change `git_config()` return value to void and make it die if it receives a negative value from `git_config_with_options()`.

2014-06-20refactor skip_prefix to return a booleanLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use for two reasons: 1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable. For example: tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"); if (tmp) buf = tmp; 2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as you need extra parentheses to silence compiler warnings. For example: if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo")) /* do something with cp */ Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but means we are repeating ourselves). This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean, and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This lets you write: if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg)) do_foo(arg); else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg)) do_bar(arg); Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-09-09branch.c: Relax unnecessary requirement on upstream's remote ref nameLibravatar Per Cederqvist1-2/+1
When creating an upstream relationship, we use the configured remotes and their refspecs to determine the upstream configuration settings branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge. However, if the matching refspec does not have refs/heads/<something> on the remote side, we end up rejecting the match, and failing the upstream configuration. It could be argued that when we set up an branch's upstream, we want that upstream to also be a proper branch in the remote repo. Although this is typically the common case, there are cases (as demonstrated by the previous patch in this series) where this requirement prevents a useful upstream relationship from being formed. Furthermore: - We have fundamentally no say in how the remote repo have organized its branches. The remote repo may put branches (or branch-like constructs that are insteresting for downstreams to track) outside refs/heads/*. - The user may intentionally want to track a non-branch from a remote repo, by using a branch and configured upstream in the local repo. Relaxing the checking to only require a matching remote/refspec allows the testcase introduced in the previous patch to succeed, and has no negative effect on the rest of the test suite. This patch fixes a behavior (arguably a regression) first introduced in 41c21f2 (branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of refs/remotes/*) on 2013-04-21 (released in >= v1.8.3.2).

Update "git checkout foo" that DWIMs the intended "upstream" and turns it into "git checkout -t -b foo remotes/origin/foo" to correctly take existing remote definitions into account. The remote "origin" may be what uniquely map its own branch to remotes/some/where/foo but that some/where may not be "origin". * jh/checkout-auto-tracking: glossary: Update and rephrase the definition of a remote-tracking branch branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of refs/remotes/* t9114.2: Don't use --track option against "svn-remote"-tracking branches t7201.24: Add refspec to keep --track working t3200.39: tracking setup should fail if there is no matching refspec. checkout: Use remote refspecs when DWIMming tracking branches t2024: Show failure to use refspec when DWIMming remote branch names t2024: Add tests verifying current DWIM behavior of 'git checkout <branch>'
2013-04-21branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of refs/remotes/*Libravatar Johan Herland1-1/+16
The current code for validating tracking branches (e.g. the argument to the -t/--track option) hardcodes refs/heads/* and refs/remotes/* as the potential locations for tracking branches. This works with the refspecs created by "git clone" or "git remote add", but is suboptimal in other cases: - If "refs/remotes/foo/bar" exists without any association to a remote (i.e. there is no remote named "foo", or no remote with a refspec that matches "refs/remotes/foo/bar"), then it is impossible to set up a valid upstream config that tracks it. Currently, the code defaults to using "refs/remotes/foo/bar" from repo "." as the upstream, which works, but is probably not what the user had in mind when running "git branch baz --track foo/bar". - If the user has tweaked the fetch refspec for a remote to put its remote-tracking branches outside of refs/remotes/*, e.g. by running git config remote.foo.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/foo_stuff/*" then the current code will refuse to use its remote-tracking branches as --track arguments, since they do not match refs/remotes/*. This patch removes the "refs/remotes/*" requirement for upstream branches, and replaces it with explicit checking of the refspecs for each remote to determine whether a given --track argument is a valid remote-tracking branch. This solves both of the above problems, since the matching refspec guarantees that there is a both a remote name and a remote branch name that can be used for the upstream config. However, this means that refs located within refs/remotes/* without a corresponding remote/refspec will no longer be usable as upstreams. The few existing tests which depended on this behavioral quirk has already been fixed in the preceding patches. This patch fixes the last remaining test failure in t2024-checkout-dwim.

2013-04-02branch: give advice when tracking start-point is missingLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+17
If the user requests to --set-upstream-to a branch that does not exist, then either: 1. It was a typo. 2. They thought the branch should exist. In case (1), there is not much we can do beyond showing the name we tried to use. For case (2), though, we can help to guide them through common workflows.

2013-04-02branch: mention start_name in set-upstream error messagesLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+5
If we refuse a branch operation because the tracking start_name the user gave us is bogus, we just print something like: fatal: Cannot setup tracking information; start point is not a branch If we mention the actual name we tried to use, that may help the user figure out why it didn't work (e.g., if they gave us the arguments in the wrong order).

2013-04-02branch: improve error message for missing --set-upstream-to refLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+6
If we are trying to set the upstream config for a branch, the create_branch function will check both that the name resolves as a ref, and that it is either a local or remote-tracking branch. However, before we do so we run get_sha1 on it to find out whether it resolves at all (since the create_branch function is also used to create actual branches, it wants to know where to start the new branch). This means that if you feed a ref that does not exist to "branch --set-upstream-to", rather than getting a helpful message about tracking, you only get "not a valid object name".

2012-03-26checkout: suppress tracking message with "-q"Libravatar Jeff King1-4/+5
Like the "switched to..." message (which is already suppressed by "-q"), this message is purely informational. Let's silence it if the user asked us to be quiet. This patch is slightly more than a one-liner, because we have to teach create_branch to propagate the flag all the way down to install_branch_config.
