2007-01-08Detached HEAD (experimental)Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+17
This allows "git checkout v1.4.3" to dissociate the HEAD of repository from any branch. After this point, "git branch" starts reporting that you are not on any branch. You can go back to an existing branch by saying "git checkout master", for example. This is still experimental. While I think it makes sense to allow commits on top of detached HEAD, it is rather dangerous unless you are careful in the current form. Next "git checkout master" will obviously lose what you have done, so we might want to require "git checkout -f" out of a detached HEAD if we find that the HEAD commit is not an ancestor of any other branches. There is no such safety valve implemented right now. On the other hand, the reason the user did not start the ad-hoc work on a new branch with "git checkout -b" was probably because the work was of a throw-away nature, so the convenience of not having that safety valve might be even better. The user, after accumulating some commits on top of a detached HEAD, can always create a new branch with "git checkout -b" not to lose useful work done while the HEAD was detached. We'll see.

2007-01-08git-branch: show detached HEADLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-7/+24
This makes git-branch show a detached HEAD as '* (no branch)'. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-03Refactor print-functions in builtin-branchLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-43/+40
This moves the guts of print_ref_list() into a revamped print_ref_info(), which at the same time gets renamed to print_ref_item(). Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-03Add documentation for git-branch's color configuration.Libravatar Brian Gernhardt1-1/+1
Added color.branch and color.branch.<slot> to configuration list. Style copied from color.status and meanings derived from the code. Moved the color meanings from color.diff.<slot> to color.branch.<slot> since the latter comes first alphabetically. Added --color and --no-color to git-branch's usage and documentation.

This reasonably useful function was hidden inside builtin-branch.c
2006-12-20Merge branch 'jc/branch-remove-remote'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-26/+62
* jc/branch-remove-remote: git-branch -d: do not stop at the first failure. Teach git-branch to delete tracking branches with -r -d
2006-12-20simplify inclusion of system header files.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include system header files. (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and xdelta code are exempt from the following rules; (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h, builtin.h, pkt-line.h); (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h" need not be included in individual C source files. (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem specific header files (e.g. expat.h). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-18git-branch -d: do not stop at the first failure.Libravatar Quy Tonthat1-18/+39
If there are more than one branches to be deleted, failure on one will no longer stop git-branch to process the next ones. The command still reports failures by exitting non-zero status. Signed-off-by: Quy Tonthat <qtonthat@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-18Teach git-branch to delete tracking branches with -r -dLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-13/+28
Because -r already means "remote" when listing, you can say: $ git branch -d -r origin/todo origin/html origin/man I just twisted it not to check fast-forwardness with the current branch when you are removing a tracking branch. Most likely, removal of a tracking branch is not because you are "done with" it (for a local branch, it usually means "you merged it up"), but because you are not even interested in it. In other words, remote tracking branches are more like tags than branches. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-13Merge branch 'lh/branch-rename'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+50
* lh/branch-rename: git-branch: let caller specify logmsg rename_ref: use lstat(2) when testing for symlink git-branch: add options and tests for branch renaming Conflicts: builtin-branch.c
2006-12-13branch --color: change default color selection.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
Showing local and remote branches in green and red was simply overkill, as all we wanted was to make it easy to tell them apart (local ones can be built on top by committing, but the remote tracking ones can't). Use plain coloring for local branches and paint remotes in red. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-12Colourise git-branch outputLibravatar Andy Parkins1-5/+87
I wanted to have a visual indication of which branches are local and which are remote in git-branch -a output; however Junio was concerned that someone might be using the output in a script. This patch addresses the problem by colouring the git-branch output - which in "auto" mode won't be activated. I've based it off the colouring code for builtin-diff.c; which means there is a branch color configuration variable that needs setting to something before the color will appear. The colour parameter is "color.branch" rather than "branch.color" to avoid clashing with the default namespace for default branch merge definitions. This patch chooses green for local, red for remote and bold green for current. Signed-off-by: Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-05git-branch: let caller specify logmsgLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-2/+6
This changes the signature of rename_ref() in refs.[hc] to include a logmessage for the reflogs. Also, builtin-branch.c is modified to provide a proper logmessage + call setup_ident() before any logmessages are written.

2006-12-05git-branch: add options and tests for branch renamingLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-1/+46
Extend git-branch with the following options: git-branch -m|-M [<oldbranch>] newbranch The -M variation is required to force renaming over an exsisting branchname. This also indroduces $GIT_DIR/RENAME_REF which is a "metabranch" used when renaming branches. It will always hold the original sha1 for the latest renamed branch. Additionally, if $GIT_DIR/logs/RENAME_REF exists, all branch rename events are logged there. Finally, some testcases are added to verify the new options.

2006-11-24git-branch -D: make it work even when on a yet-to-be-born branchLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+8
This makes "git branch -D other_branch" work even when HEAD points at a yet-to-be-born branch. Earlier, we checked the HEAD ref for the purpose of "subset" check even when the deletion was forced (i.e. not -d but -D). Because of this, you cannot delete a branch even with -D while on a yet-to-be-born branch. With this change, the following sequence that now works: mkdir newdir && cd newdir git init-db git fetch -k $other_repo refs/heads/master:refs/heads/othre # oops, typo git branch other othre git branch -D othre Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-11-24Add -v and --abbrev options to git-branchLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-5/+43
The new -v option makes git-branch show the abbreviated sha1 + subjectline for each branch. Additionally, minimum abbreviation length can be specified with --abbrev=<length> Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-11-21Add support to git-branch to show local and remote branchesLibravatar Andy Parkins1-22/+81
Instead of storing a list of refnames in append_ref, a list of structures is created. Each of these stores the refname and a symbolic constant representing its type. The creation of the list is filtered based on a command line switch; no switch means "local branches only", "-r" means "remote branches only" (as they always did); but now "-a" means "local branches or remote branches". As a side effect, the list is now not global, but allocated in print_ref_list() where it used. Also a memory leak is plugged, the memory allocated during the list creation was never freed. It lays a groundwork to also display tags, but the command being 'git branch' it is not currently used.
