2010-02-22Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectoryLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1352/+0
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n) [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab> builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c you get [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type] builtin/ builtin.h [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief. NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off around 100 choices or something. So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-01-20Fix "log" family not to be too agressive about showing notesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
Giving "Notes" information in the default output format of "log" and "show" is a sensible progress (the user has asked for it by having the notes), but for some commands (e.g. "format-patch") spewing notes into the formatted commit log message without being asked is too aggressive. Enable notes output only for "log", "show", "whatchanged" by default and only when the user didn't ask any specific --pretty/--format from the command line; users can explicitly override this default with --show-notes and --no-notes option. Parts of tests are taken from Jeff King's fix. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

When given a pathspec that does not match any path in the current work tree with an explicit "--": git format-patch <commit> -- <path> the command still complains that <path> does not exist in the current work tree and the user needs to explicitly specify "--" and errors out.

2009-11-10format-patch: Add "--no-stat" as a synonym for "-p"Libravatar Björn Gustavsson1-2/+3
"-p" means "generate patch" in 'git log' and 'git diff', so it's quite surprising that it means "suppress diffstat" in 'git format-patch'. Keep the "-p" option for backward compatibility, but add "--no-stat" as a more intuitive synonym. For backward compatibility with scripts, we must allow combinations of --stat and --no-stat.

2009-11-10format-patch: Always generate a patchLibravatar Björn Gustavsson1-7/+16
Jeff King recently reinstated -p to suppress the default diffstat (as -p used to work before 68daa64, about 14 months ago). However, -p is also needed in combination with certain options (e.g. --stat or --numstat) in order to produce any patch at all. The documentation does not mention this. Since the purpose of format-patch is to produce a patch that can be emailed, it does not make sense that certain combination of options will suppress the generation of the patch itself. Therefore: * Update 'git format-patch' to always generate a patch. * Since the --name-only, --name-status, and --check suppresses the generation of the patch, disallow those options, and remove the description of them in the documentation. * Remove the reference to -p in the description of -U. * Remove the descriptions of the options that are synonyms for -p plus another option (--patch-with-raw and --patch-with-stat). * While at it, slightly tweak the description of -p itself to say that it generates "plain patches", so that you can think of -p as "plain patch" as an mnemonic aid.

2009-11-09Show usage string for 'git cherry -h'Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+3
Treat an "-h" option as a request for help, rather than an "Unknown commit -h" error. "cherry -h" could be asking to compare histories that leads to our HEAD and a commit that can be named as "-h". Strictly speaking, that may be a valid refname, but the user would have to say something like "tags/-h" to name such a pathological ref already, so it is not such a big deal. The "-h" option keeps its meaning even if preceded by other options or followed by other arguments. This keeps the command-line syntax closer to what parse_options would give and supports shell aliases like 'alias cherry="git cherry -v"' a little better.

2009-11-08format-patch: make "-p" suppress diffstatLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+7
Once upon a time, format-patch would use its default stat plus patch format only when no diff format was given on the command line. This meant that "format-patch -p" would suppress the stat and show just the patch. Commit 68daa64 changed this to keep the stat format when we had an "implicit" patch format, like "-U5". As a side effect, this meant that an explicit patch format was now ignored (because cmd_format_patch didn't know the reason that the format was set way down in diff_opt_parse). This patch unbreaks what 68daa64 did (while still preserving what 68daa64 was trying to do), reinstating "-p" to suppress the default behavior. We do this by parsing "-p" ourselves in format-patch, and noting whether it was used explicitly. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-10-19Refactor pretty_print_commit arguments into a structLibravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+2
pretty_print_commit() has a bunch of rarely-used arguments, and introducing more of them requires yet another update of all the call sites. Refactor most of them into a struct to make future extensions easier. The ones that stay "plain" arguments were chosen on the grounds that all callers put real arguments there, whereas some callers have 0/NULL for all arguments that were factored into the struct. We declare the struct 'const' to ensure none of the callers are bitten by the changed (no longer call-by-value) semantics.

Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers, external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full version. This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to specify either the short or the full versions.

2009-07-29diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICKLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The option "QUIET" primarily meant "find if we have _any_ difference as quick as possible and report", which means we often do not even have to look at blobs if we know the trees are different by looking at the higher level (e.g. "diff-tree A B"). As a side effect, because there is no point showing one change that we happened to have found first, it also enables NO_OUTPUT and EXIT_WITH_STATUS options, making the end result look quiet. Rename the internal option to QUICK to reflect this better; it also makes grepping the source tree much easier, as there are other kinds of QUIET option everywhere.

2009-07-19show: add space between multiple itemsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
When showing an annotated tag, "git show" will always display the pointed-to object. However, it didn't separate the two with whitespace, making it more difficult to notice where the new object started. For example: $ git tag -m 'my message' foo $ git show foo tag foo Tagger: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Date: Fri Jul 17 18:46:25 2009 -0400 my message commit 41cabf8fed2694ba33e01d64f9094f2fc5e5805a Author: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Date: Thu Jul 16 17:31:34 2009 -0400 ... This patch respects and sets the rev.shown_one member to prepend a blank line before showing a second item. We use this member of rev_info instead of a local flag, because the log_tree_commit we call into for showing commits already respects and sets that flag. Meaning that everything will be spaced properly if you intermix commits and tags, like: $ git show v1.6.3 v1.6.2 HEAD In that case, a single blank line will separate the first tag, the commit it points to, the second tag, the commit that one points to, and the final commit. While we're at it, let's also support trees, so that even something as crazy as $ git show HEAD^{tree} HEAD~1^{tree} HEAD will also be spaced in an easy-to-read way. However, we intentionally do _not_ insert blank lines for blobs, so that specifying multiple blobs gives a strict concatenation.

2009-07-19show: suppress extra newline when showing annotated tagLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When showing a tag, our header parsing finishes with the offset pointing to the newline separating the tag header from the tag body. This means that the printed body will always start with a newline. However, we also add an extra newline when printing the tagger information. This leads to an ugly double-newline: $ git show v1.6.3 tag v1.6.3 Tagger: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Date: Wed May 6 18:16:47 2009 -0700 GIT 1.6.3 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- ... This patch removes the extra newline from the end of the tagger headers. This is a better solution than suppressing the separator newline, because it retains the behavior for tags which have no tagger. E.g., "git show v0.99" will continue to look like: $ git show v0.99 tag v0.99 Test-release for wider distribution. ...

2009-06-20Fix various sparse warnings in the git source codeLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+2
There are a few remaining ones, but this fixes the trivial ones. It boils down to two main issues that sparse complains about: - warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer Sparse doesn't like you using '0' instead of 'NULL'. For various good reasons, not the least of which is just the visual confusion. A NULL pointer is not an integer, and that whole "0 works as NULL" is a historical accident and not very pretty. A few of these remain: zlib is a total mess, and Z_NULL is just a 0. I didn't touch those. - warning: symbol 'xyz' was not declared. Should it be static? Sparse wants to see declarations for any functions you export. A lack of a declaration tends to mean that you should either add one, or you should mark the function 'static' to show that it's in file scope. A few of these remain: I only did the ones that should obviously just be made static. That 'wt_status_submodule_summary' one is debatable. It has a few related flags (like 'wt_status_use_color') which _are_ declared, and are used by builtin-commit.c. So maybe we'd like to export it at some point, but it's not declared now, and not used outside of that file, so 'static' it is in this patch.

For deep threading mode, i.e., the mode that gives a thread structured like + [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter `-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch `-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch `-+ ... we currently have to use 'git send-email --thread' (the default). On the other hand, format-patch also has a --thread option which gives shallow mode, i.e., + [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter |-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch |-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch ... To reduce the confusion resulting from having two indentically named features in different tools giving different results, let format-patch take an optional argument '--thread=deep' that gives the same output as 'send-mail --thread'.

Currently, format-patch can only track a single reference (the In-Reply-To:) for each mail. To ensure proper threading, we should list all known references for every mail. Change the rev_info.ref_message_id field to a string_list, so that we can append references at will, and change the output formatting routines to print all of them in the References: header. The last entry in the list is implicitly assumed to be the In-Reply-To:, which gives output consistent with RFC 2822: The "References:" field will contain the contents of the parent's "References:" field (if any) followed by the contents of the parent's "Message-ID:" field (if any). Note that this is just preparatory work; nothing uses it yet, so all "References:" fields in the output are still only one deep.
