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).

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: 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".

This also makes it possible for scripts to distinguish between a revert that encountered conflicts and other sources of an unmerged index. After successfully committing, resetting with "git reset", or moving to another commit with "git checkout" or "git reset", the pseudoref is no longer useful, so remove it.

2011-09-16branch --set-upstream: regression fixLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+12
The "git branch" command, while not in listing mode, calls create_branch() even when the target branch already exists, and it does so even when it is not interested in updating the value of the branch (i.e. the name of the commit object that sits at the tip of the existing branch). This happens when the command is run with "--set-upstream" option. The earlier safety-measure to prevent "git branch -f $branch $commit" from updating the currently checked out branch did not take it into account, and we no longer can update the tracking information of the current branch. Minimally fix this regression by telling the validation code if it is called to really update the value of a potentially existing branch, or if the caller merely is interested in updating auxiliary aspects of a branch.

2011-08-22Prevent force-updating of the current branchLibravatar Conrad Irwin1-10/+24
"git branch -M <foo> <current-branch>" allows updating the current branch which HEAD points, without the necessary house-keeping that git reset normally does to make this operation sensible. It also leaves the reflog in a confusing state (you would be warned when trying to read it). "git checkout -B <current branch> <foo>" is also partly vulnerable to this bug; due to inconsistent pre-flight checks it would perform half of its task and then abort just before rewriting the branch. Again this manifested itself as the index file getting out-of-sync with HEAD. "git branch -f" already guarded against this problem, and aborts with a fatal error. Update "git branch -M", "git checkout -B" and "git branch -f" to share the same check before allowing a branch to be created. These prevent you from updating the current branch. We considered suggesting the use of "git reset" in the failure message but concluded that it was not possible to discern what the user was actually trying to do.

When a cherry-pick conflicts git advises: $ git commit -c <original commit id> to preserve the original commit message and authorship. Instead, let's record the original commit id in CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and advise: $ git commit -c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD A later patch teaches git to handle the '-c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD' part. Note that we record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even in the case where there are no conflicts so that we may use it to communicate authorship to commit; this will then allow us to remove set_author_ident_env from revert.c. However, we do not record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD when --no-commit is used, as presumably the user intends to further edit the commit and possibly even cherry-pick additional commits on top.

2011-02-16branch/checkout --track: Ensure that upstream branch is indeed a branchLibravatar Johan Herland1-3/+8
When creating a new branch using the --track option, we must make sure that we don't try to set an upstream that does not make sense to follow (using 'git pull') or update (using 'git push'). The current code checks against using HEAD as upstream (since tracking a symref doesn't make sense). However, tracking a tag doesn't make sense either. Indeed, tracking _any_ ref that is not a (local or remote) branch doesn't make sense, and should be disallowed. This patch achieves this by checking that the ref we're trying to --track resides within refs/heads/* or refs/remotes/*. This new check replaces the previous check against HEAD. A couple of testcases are also added, verifying that we cannot create branches with tags as upstreams. Finally, some selftests relying on using a non-branch as an upstream have been reworked or removed: - t6040: Reverse the meaning of two tests that depend on the ability to use (lightweight and annotated) tags as upstreams. These two tests were originally added in commits 1be570f and 57ffc5f, and this patch reverts the intention of those two commits. - t7201: Remove part of a test (introduced in 9188ed8) relying on a non-branch as upstream.

An earlier patch always spelled the full name of the ref that we track (e.g. "refs/heads/frotz" instead of just "frotz" when we mean the branch whose name is "frotz"). Worse yet, because we now use the true name of the ref at the original repository when talk about a tracking branch that copies from a remote, such a full name alone still does not give enough information. This reorganizes the verbose codepath to: - differentiate "refs/heads/something" and everything else; we say that the branch tracks "branch <something>" if it begins with "refs/heads/", and otherwise the branch tracks "ref refs/<someother>/<something>"; - report the name of the remote when we talk about a tracking branch, by saying "branch frotz from origin"; - not say "by merging" at the end; it is the default and is not worth reporting.

2008-10-03builtin-commit: use reduce_heads() only when appropriateLibravatar Miklos Vajna1-0/+1
Since commit 6bb6b034 (builtin-commit: use commit_tree(), 2008-09-10), builtin-commit performs a reduce_heads() unconditionally. However, it's not always needed, and in some cases even harmful. reduce_heads() is not needed for the initial commit or for an "ordinary" commit, because they don't have any or have only one parent, respectively. reduce_heads() must be avoided when 'git commit' is run after a 'git merge --no-ff --no-commit', otherwise it will turn the non-fast-forward merge into fast-forward. For the same reason, reduce_heads() must be avoided when amending such a merge commit. To resolve this issue, 'git merge' will write info about whether fast-forward is allowed or not to $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MODE. Based on this info, 'git commit' will only perform reduce_heads() when it's committing a merge and fast-forward is enabled. Also add test cases to ensure that non-fast-forward merges are committed and amended properly.

2008-07-13Move MERGE_RR from .git/rr-cache/ into .git/Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
If you want to reuse the rerere cache in another repository, and set a symbolic link to it, you do not want to have the two repositories interfer with each other by accessing the _same_ MERGE_RR. For example, if you use contrib/git-new-workdir to set up a second working directory, and you have a conflict in one working directory, but commit in the other working directory first, the wrong "resolution" will be recorded. The easy solution is to move MERGE_RR out of the rr-cache/ directory, which also corresponds with the notion that rr-cache/ contains cached resolutions, not some intermediate temporary states.
