2009-02-18branch: clean up repeated strlenLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Commit 45e2b61 fixed the initialization of a "len" struct parameter via strlen. We can use that to clean up what is now 3 strlens in a 6-line sequence. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-02-13Teach the "@{-1} syntax to "git branch"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-12/+19
This teaches the new "@{-1} syntax to refer to the previous branch to "git branch". After looking at somebody's faulty patch series on a topic branch too long, if you decide it is not worth merging, you can just say: $ git checkout master $ git branch -D @{-1} to get rid of it without having to type the name of the topic you now hate so much for wasting a lot of your time.

2009-02-13builtin-branch: improve output when displaying remote branchesLibravatar Jay Soffian1-30/+75
When encountering a symref (typically refs/remotes/<remote>/HEAD), display the ref target. When displaying local and remote branches, prefix the remote branch names with "remotes/" to make the remote branches clear from the local branches. If displaying only the remote branches, the prefix is not shown since it would be redundant. Sample output: $ git branch foo -> master * master rather-long-branch-name $ git branch -v foo -> master * master 51cecb2 initial rather-long-branch-name 51cecb2 initial $ git branch -v --no-abbrev foo -> master * master 51cecb2dbb1a1902bb4df79b543c8f951ee59d83 initial rather-long-branch-name 51cecb2dbb1a1902bb4df79b543c8f951ee59d83 initial $ git branch -r frotz/HEAD -> frotz/master frotz/master origin/HEAD -> origin/master origin/UNUSUAL -> refs/heads/master origin/master $ git branch -a foo -> master * master rather-long-branch-name remotes/frotz/HEAD -> frotz/master remotes/frotz/master remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/UNUSUAL -> refs/heads/master remotes/origin/master $ git branch -rv frotz/HEAD -> frotz/master frotz/master e1d8130 added file2 origin/HEAD -> origin/master origin/UNUSUAL -> refs/heads/master origin/master e1d8130 added file2 $ git branch -av foo -> master * master 51cecb2 initial rather-long-branch-name 51cecb2 initial remotes/frotz/HEAD -> frotz/master remotes/frotz/master e1d8130 added file2 remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/UNUSUAL -> refs/heads/master remotes/origin/master e1d8130 added file2 Signed-off-by: Jay Soffian <jaysoffian@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This had two problems with symrefs. First, it copied the actual sha1 instead of the "pointer", second it failed to remove the old ref after a successful rename.

2008-07-23builtin-branch.c: optimize --merged and --no-mergedLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-21/+38
"git branch --no-merged $commit" used to compute the merge base between the tip of each and every branch with the named $commit, but this was wasteful when you have many branches. Inside append_ref() we literally ran has_commit() between the tip of the branch and the merge_filter_ref. Instead, we can let the revision machinery traverse the history as if we are running: $ git rev-list --branches --not $commit by queueing the tips of branches we encounter as positive refs (this mimicks the "--branches" option in the above command line) and then appending the merge_filter_ref commit as a negative one, and finally calling prepare_revision_walk() to limit the list.. After the traversal is done, branch tips that are reachable from $commit are painted UNINTERESTING; they are already fully contained in $commit (i.e. --merged). Tips that are not painted UNINTERESTING still have commits that are not reachable from $commit, thus "--no-merged" will show them.

2008-07-13Make usage strings dash-lessLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-4/+4
When you misuse a git command, you are shown the usage string. But this is currently shown in the dashed form. So if you just copy what you see, it will not work, when the dashed form is no longer supported. This patch makes git commands show the dash-less version.

2008-07-09branch --merged/--no-merged: allow specifying arbitrary commitLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+42
"git-branch --merged" is a handy way to list all the branches that have already been merged to the current branch, but it did not allow checking against anything but the current branch. Having to switch branches only to list the branches that are merged with another branch made the feature practically useless. This updates the option parser so that "git branch --merged next" is accepted when you are on 'master' branch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-09branch --contains: default to HEADLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+8
We used to require the name of the commit to limit the branches shown to the --contains option, but more recent --merged/--no-meregd defaults to HEAD (and they do not allow arbitrary commit, which is a separate issue). This teaches --contains to default to HEAD when no parameter is given. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-04-20git-branch: add support for --merged and --no-mergedLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-1/+15
These options filter the output from git branch to only include branches whose tip is either merged or not merged into HEAD. The use-case for these options is when working with integration of branches from many remotes: `git branch --no-merged -a` will show a nice list of merge candidates while `git branch --merged -a` will show the progress of your integration work. Also, a plain `git branch --merged` is a quick way to find local branches which you might want to delete.

2008-02-22Avoid unnecessary "if-before-free" tests.Libravatar Jim Meyering1-6/+3
This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests. E.g., it replaces code like this: if (some_expression) free (some_expression); with the now-equivalent: free (some_expression); It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL) to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test. Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following: git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \ perl -0x3b -pi -e \ 's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s' Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like "if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like that in git sources. Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the affected "if"-statement has a matching "else". E.g., it would transform this if (x) free (x); else foo (); into this: free (x); else foo (); There were none of those here, either. If you're interested in automating detection of the useless tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib: [it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S option to make it detect free-like functions with different names] http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=build-aux/useless-if-before-free Addendum: Remove one more (in imap-send.c), spotted by Jean-Luc Herren <jlh@gmx.ch>.

2008-02-19branch: optionally setup branch.*.merge from upstream local branchesLibravatar Jay Soffian1-8/+5
"git branch" and "git checkout -b" now honor --track option even when the upstream branch is local. Previously --track was silently ignored when forking from a local branch. Also the command did not error out when --track was explicitly asked for but the forked point specified was not an existing branch (i.e. when there is no way to set up the tracking configuration), but now it correctly does. The configuration setting branch.autosetupmerge can now be set to "always", which is equivalent to using --track from the command line. Setting branch.autosetupmerge to "true" will retain the former behavior of only setting up branch.*.merge for remote upstream branches. Includes test cases for the new functionality.

2007-12-05git config --get-colorboolLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
This adds an option to help scripts find out color settings from the configuration file. git config --get-colorbool color.diff inspects color.diff variable, and exits with status 0 (i.e. success) if color is to be used. It exits with status 1 otherwise. If a script wants "true"/"false" answer to the standard output of the command, it can pass an additional boolean parameter to its command line, telling if its standard output is a terminal, like this: git config --get-colorbool color.diff true When called like this, the command outputs "true" to its standard output if color is to be used (i.e. "color.diff" says "always", "auto", or "true"), and "false" otherwise.

2007-11-22git-branch --contains=commitLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+54
This teaches git-branch to limit its listing to branches that are descendants to the named commit. When you are using many topic branches, you often would want to see which branch already includes a commit, so that you know which can and cannot be rewound without disrupting other people. One thing that sometimes happens to me is: * Somebody sends a patch that is a good maint material. I apply it to 'maint': $ git checkout maint $ git am -3 -s obvious-fix.patch * Then somebody else sends another patch that is possibly a good maint material, but I'd want to cook it in 'next' to be extra sure. I fork a topic from 'maint' and apply the patch: $ git checkout -b xx/maint-fix-foo $ git am -3 -s ,xx-maint-fix-foo.patch * A minor typo is found in the "obvious-fix.patch". The above happens without pushing the results out, so I can freely recover from it by amending 'maint', as long as I do not forget to rebase the topics that were forked previously. With this patch, I can do this to find out which topic branches already contain the faulty commit: $ git branch --contains=maint^ xx/maint-fix-foo so I can rebase the xx/maint-fix-foo branch before merging it to 'next'.

This patch cleans up some complicated code, and replaces it with a cleaner version, using code from remote.[ch], which got extended a little in the process. This also enables us to fix two cases: The earlier "fix" to setup tracking only when the original ref started with "refs/remotes" is wrong. You are absolutely allowed to use a separate layout for your tracking branches. The correct fix, of course, is to set up tracking information only when there is a matching remote.<nick>.fetch line containing a colon. Another corner case was not handled properly. If two remotes write to the original ref, just warn the user and do not set up tracking.

2007-07-08branch.autosetupmerge: allow boolean values, or "all"Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-6/+12
Junio noticed that switching on autosetupmerge unilaterally started cluttering the config for local branches. That is not the original intention of branch.autosetupmerge, which was meant purely for convenience when branching off of remote branches, but that semantics got lost somewhere. If you still want that "new" behavior, you can switch branch.autosetupmerge to the value "all". Otherwise, it is interpreted as a boolean, which triggers setting up defaults _only_ when branching off of a remote branch, i.e. the originally intended behavior.
