2022-04-01tracking branches: add advice to ambiguous refspec errorTao Klerks1-7/+56
The error "not tracking: ambiguous information for ref" is raised when we are evaluating what tracking information to set on a branch, and find that the ref to be added as tracking branch is mapped under multiple remotes' fetch refspecs. This can easily happen when a user copy-pastes a remote definition in their git config, and forgets to change the tracking path. Add advice in this situation, explicitly highlighting which remotes are involved and suggesting how to correct the situation. Also update a test to explicitly expect that advice.

For two cases in which we do not explicitly pass --track=<choice> option down to the submodule--helper subprocess, we have comments that say "we do not have to pass --track", but in fact we not just do not have to, but it would be incorrect to pass any --track option to the subprocess (instead, the correct behaviour is to let the subprocess figure out what is the appropriate tracking mode to use).

2022-03-30branch: support more tracking modes when recursingGlen Choo1-3/+26
"git branch --recurse-submodules" does not propagate "--track=inherit" or "--no-track" to submodules, which causes submodule branches to use the wrong tracking mode [1]. To fix this, pass the correct options to the "submodule--helper create-branch" child process and test for it. While we are refactoring the same code, replace "--track" with the synonymous, but more consistent-looking "--track=direct" option (introduced at the same time as "--track=inherit", d3115660b4 (branch: add flags and config to inherit tracking, 2021-12-20)). [1] This bug is partially a timing issue: "branch --recurse-submodules" was introduced around the same time as "--track=inherit", and even though I rebased "branch --recurse-submodules" on top of that, I had neglected to support the new tracking mode. Omitting "--no-track" was just a plain old mistake, though. Signed-off-by: Glen Choo <chooglen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2022-02-04branch: add --recurse-submodules option for branch creationGlen Choo1-0/+141
To improve the submodules UX, we would like to teach Git to handle branches in submodules. Start this process by teaching "git branch" the --recurse-submodules option so that "git branch --recurse-submodules topic" will create the `topic` branch in the superproject and its submodules. Although this commit does not introduce breaking changes, it does not work well with existing --recurse-submodules commands because "git branch --recurse-submodules" writes to the submodule ref store, but most commands only consider the superproject gitlink and ignore the submodule ref store. For example, "git checkout --recurse-submodules" will check out the commits in the superproject gitlinks (and put the submodules in detached HEAD) instead of checking out the submodule branches. Because of this, this commit introduces a new configuration value, `submodule.propagateBranches`. The plan is for Git commands to prioritize submodule ref store information over superproject gitlinks if this value is true. Because "git branch --recurse-submodules" writes to submodule ref stores, for the sake of clarity, it will not function unless this configuration value is set. This commit also includes changes that support working with submodules from a superproject commit because "branch --recurse-submodules" (and future commands) need to read .gitmodules and gitlinks from the superproject commit, but submodules are typically read from the filesystem's .gitmodules and the index's gitlinks. These changes are: * add a submodules_of_tree() helper that gives the relevant information of an in-tree submodule (e.g. path and oid) and initializes the repository * add is_tree_submodule_active() by adding a treeish_name parameter to is_submodule_active() * add the "submoduleNotUpdated" advice to advise users to update the submodules in their trees Incidentally, fix an incorrect usage string that combined the 'list' usage of git branch (-l) with the 'create' usage; this string has been incorrect since its inception, a8dfd5eac4 (Make builtin-branch.c use parse_options., 2007-10-07).

2022-02-01branch: move --set-upstream-to behavior to dwim_and_setup_tracking()Glen Choo1-20/+67
This commit is preparation for a future commit that will simplify create_branch() so that it always creates a branch. This will allow create_branch() to accept a dry_run parameter (which is needed for "git branch --recurse-submodules"). create_branch() used to always create a branch, but 4fc5006676 (Add branch --set-upstream, 2010-01-18) changed it to also be able to set tracking information without creating a branch. Refactor the code that sets tracking information into its own functions dwim_branch_start() and dwim_and_setup_tracking(). Also change an invocation of create_branch() in cmd_branch() in builtin/branch.c to use dwim_and_setup_tracking(), since that invocation is only for setting tracking information (in "git branch --set-upstream-to"). As of this commit, create_branch() is no longer invoked in a way that does not create branches.

2021-12-20branch: add flags and config to inherit trackingJosh Steadmon1-7/+42
It can be helpful when creating a new branch to use the existing tracking configuration from the branch point. However, there is currently not a method to automatically do so. Teach git-{branch,checkout,switch} an "inherit" argument to the "--track" option. When this is set, creating a new branch will cause the tracking configuration to default to the configuration of the branch point, if set. For example, if branch "main" tracks "origin/main", and we run `git checkout --track=inherit -b feature main`, then branch "feature" will track "origin/main". Thus, `git status` will show us how far ahead/behind we are from origin, and `git pull` will pull from origin. This is particularly useful when creating branches across many submodules, such as with `git submodule foreach ...` (or if running with a patch such as [1], which we use at $job), as it avoids having to manually set tracking info for each submodule. Since we've added an argument to "--track", also add "--track=direct" as another way to explicitly get the original "--track" behavior ("--track" without an argument still works as well). Finally, teach branch.autoSetupMerge a new "inherit" option. When this is set, "--track=inherit" becomes the default behavior.

2021-03-20merge-ort: write $GIT_DIR/AUTO_MERGE whenever we hit a conflictElijah Newren1-0/+1
There are a variety of questions users might ask while resolving conflicts: * What changes have been made since the previous (first) parent? * What changes are staged? * What is still unstaged? (or what is still conflicted?) * What changes did I make to resolve conflicts so far? The first three of these have simple answers: * git diff HEAD * git diff --cached * git diff There was no way to answer the final question previously. Adding one is trivial in merge-ort, since it works by creating a tree representing what should be written to the working copy complete with conflict markers. Simply write that tree to .git/AUTO_MERGE, allowing users to answer the fourth question with * git diff AUTO_MERGE I avoided using a name like "MERGE_AUTO", because that would be merge-specific (much like MERGE_HEAD, REBASE_HEAD, REVERT_HEAD, CHERRY_PICK_HEAD) and I wanted a name that didn't change depending on which type of operation the merge was part of.

When a user checks out the upstream branch of HEAD, the upstream branch not being a local branch, and then runs "git status", like this: git clone $URL client cd client git checkout @{u} git status no status is printed, but instead an error message: fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch (This error message when running "git branch" persists even after checking out other things - it only stops after checking out a branch.) This is because "git status" reads the reflog when determining the "HEAD detached" message, and thus attempts to DWIM "@{u}", but that doesn't work because HEAD no longer points to a branch. Therefore, when calculating the status of a worktree, tolerate dangling marks. This is done by adding an additional parameter to dwim_ref() and repo_dwim_ref().

2020-04-10merge: teach --autostash optionDenton Liu1-0/+1
In rebase, one can pass the `--autostash` option to cause the worktree to be automatically stashed before continuing with the rebase. This option is missing in merge, however. Implement the `--autostash` option and corresponding `merge.autoStash` option in merge which stashes before merging and then pops after. This option is useful when a developer has some local changes on a topic branch but they realize that their work depends on another branch. Previously, they had to run something like git fetch ... git stash push git merge FETCH_HEAD git stash pop but now, that is reduced to git fetch ... git merge --autostash FETCH_HEAD When an autostash is generated, it is automatically reapplied to the worktree only in three explicit situations: 1. An incomplete merge is commit using `git commit`. 2. A merge completes successfully. 3. A merge is aborted using `git merge --abort`. In all other situations where the merge state is removed using remove_merge_branch_state() such as aborting a merge via `git reset --hard`, the autostash is saved into the stash reflog instead keeping the worktree clean.

This can cause problems later. In my case I cherry-picked a sequence of commits the last one of which I committed with `git commit` after resolving some conflicts, then a while later, on a different branch I aborted a revert which rewound my HEAD to the end of the cherry-pick sequence on the previous branch.

2019-04-02checkout: inform the user when removing branch stateNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-4/+7
After a successful switch, if a merge, cherry-pick or revert is ongoing, it is canceled. This behavior has been with us from the very early beginning, soon after git-merge was created but never actually documented [1]. It may be a good idea to be transparent and tell the user if some operation is canceled. I consider this a better way of telling the user than just adding a sentence or two in git-checkout.txt, which will be mostly ignored anyway. PS. Originally I wanted to print more details like warning: cancelling an in-progress merge from <SHA-1> which may allow some level of undo if the user wants to. But that seems a lot more work. Perhaps it can be improved later if people still want that. [1] ... and I will try not to argue whether it is a sensible behavior.

2018-08-17refactor various if (x) FREE_AND_NULL(x) to just FREE_AND_NULL(x)Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-3/+1
Change the few conditional uses of FREE_AND_NULL(x) to be unconditional. As noted in the standard[1] free(NULL) is perfectly valid, so we might as well leave this check up to the C library. 1. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/free.html Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-06-29commit: add repository argument to lookup_commit_referenceStefan Beller1-1/+1
Add a repository argument to allow callers of lookup_commit_reference to be more specific about which repository to handle. This is a small mechanical change; it doesn't change the implementation to handle repositories other than the_repository yet. As with the previous commits, use a macro to catch callers passing a repository other than the_repository at compile time.

2018-05-18path.c: migrate global git_path_* to take a repository argumentStefan Beller1-7/+7
Migrate all git_path_* functions that are defined in path.c to take a repository argument. Unlike other patches in this series, do not use the #define trick, as we rewrite the whole function, which is rather small. This doesn't migrate all the functions, as other builtins have their own local path functions defined using GIT_PATH_FUNC. So keep that macro around to serve the other locations.

2017-12-07branch: group related arguments of create_branch()Kaartic Sivaraam1-1/+1
39bd6f726 (Allow checkout -B <current-branch> to update the current branch, 2011-11-26) added 'clobber_head' (now, 'clobber_head_ok') "before" 'track' as 'track' was closely related 'clobber_head' for the purpose the commit wanted to achieve. Looking from the perspective of how the arguments are used it turns out that 'clobber_head' is more related to 'force' than it is to 'track'. So, re-order the arguments to keep the related arguments close to each other. Signed-off-by: Kaartic Sivaraam <kaartic.sivaraam@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
