* cn/maint-branch-with-bad: branch: don't assume the merge filter ref exists Conflicts: t/t3200-branch.sh
2012-02-27branch: don't assume the merge filter ref existsLibravatar Carlos Martín Nieto1-0/+4
print_ref_list looks up the merge_filter_ref and assumes that a valid pointer is returned. When the object doesn't exist, it tries to dereference a NULL pointer. This can be the case when git branch --merged is given an argument that isn't a valid commit name. Check whether the lookup returns a NULL pointer and die with an error if it does. Add a test, while we're at it. Signed-off-by: Carlos Martín Nieto <cmn@elego.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-02-05branch --edit-description: protect against mistyped branch nameLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+15
It is very easy to mistype the branch name when editing its description, e.g. $ git checkout -b my-topic master : work work work : now we are at a good point to switch working something else $ git checkout master : ah, let's write it down before we forget what we were doing $ git branch --edit-description my-tpoic The command does not notice that branch 'my-tpoic' does not exist. It is not lost (it becomes description of an unborn my-tpoic branch), but is not very useful. So detect such a case and error out to reduce the grief factor from this common mistake. This incidentally also errors out --edit-description when the HEAD points at an unborn branch (immediately after "init", or "checkout --orphan"), because at that point, you do not even have any commit that is part of your history and there is no point in describing how this particular branch is different from the branch it forked off of, which is the useful bit of information the branch description is designed to capture. We may want to special case the unborn case later, but that is outside the scope of this patch to prevent more common mistakes before 1.7.9 series gains too much widespread use.

2011-12-13Rename resolve_ref() to resolve_ref_unsafe()Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a shared buffer and can be overwritten by the next resolve_ref() calls. Callers need to pay attention, not to keep the pointer when the next call happens. Rename with "_unsafe" suffix to warn developers (or reviewers) before introducing new call sites.

2011-12-05Copy resolve_ref() return value for longer useLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+4
resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer. Callers that use this value longer than a couple of statements should copy the value to avoid some hidden resolve_ref() call that may change the static buffer's value. The bug found by Tony Wang <wwwjfy@gmail.com> in builtin/merge.c demonstrates this. The first call is in cmd_merge() branch = resolve_ref("HEAD", head_sha1, 0, &flag); Then deep in lookup_commit_or_die() a few lines after, resolve_ref() may be called again and destroy "branch". lookup_commit_or_die lookup_commit_reference lookup_commit_reference_gently parse_object lookup_replace_object do_lookup_replace_object prepare_replace_object for_each_replace_ref do_for_each_ref get_loose_refs get_ref_dir get_ref_dir resolve_ref All call sites are checked and made sure that xstrdup() is called if the value should be saved.

Overwriting the current branch with a different commit is forbidden, as it will make the status recorded in the index and the working tree out of sync with respect to the HEAD. There however is no reason to forbid it if the current branch is renamed to itself, which admittedly is something only an insane user would do, but is handy for scripts.

2011-11-23builtin-branch: Fix crash on invalid use of --forceLibravatar Vincent van Ravesteijn1-2/+2
The option --force should not put us in 'create branch' mode. The fact that this option is only valid in 'create branch' mode is already caught by the the next 'if' in which we assure that we are in the correct mode. Without this patch, "git branch -f" without any other argument ends up calling create_branch without any branch name.

2011-11-13Convert many resolve_ref() calls to read_ref*() and ref_exists()Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-3/+2
resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens, the buffer may be changed. Many call sites though do not care about this buffer. They simply check if the return value is NULL or not. Convert all these call sites to new wrappers to reduce resolve_ref() calls from 57 to 34. If we change resolve_ref() prototype later on to avoid passing static buffer out, this helps reduce changes.

2011-10-05branch: teach --edit-description optionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+54

The "-m" option similar to "commit/tag" is deliberately omitted, as the whole point of branch description is about giving descriptive information (the name of the branch itself is a better place for information that fits on a single-line).

* ci/forbid-unwanted-current-branch-update: branch --set-upstream: regression fix
2011-09-16branch --set-upstream: regression fixLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
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 Irwin1-5/+1
"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.

2011-08-19want_color: automatically fallback to color.uiLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+0
All of the "do we want color" flags default to -1 to indicate that we don't have any color configured. This value is handled in one of two ways: 1. In porcelain, we check early on whether the value is still -1 after reading the config, and set it to the value of color.ui (which defaults to 0). 2. In plumbing, it stays untouched as -1, and want_color defaults it to off. This works fine, but means that every porcelain has to check and reassign its color flag. Now that want_color gives us a place to put this check in a single spot, we can do that, simplifying the calling code.

2011-08-19color: delay auto-color decision until point of useLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When we read a color value either from a config file or from the command line, we use git_config_colorbool to convert it from the tristate always/never/auto into a single yes/no boolean value. This has some timing implications with respect to starting a pager. If we start (or decide not to start) the pager before checking the colorbool, everything is fine. Either isatty(1) will give us the right information, or we will properly check for pager_in_use(). However, if we decide to start a pager after we have checked the colorbool, things are not so simple. If stdout is a tty, then we will have already decided to use color. However, the user may also have configured color.pager not to use color with the pager. In this case, we need to actually turn off color. Unfortunately, the pager code has no idea which color variables were turned on (and there are many of them throughout the code, and they may even have been manipulated after the colorbool selection by something like "--color" on the command line). This bug can be seen any time a pager is started after config and command line options are checked. This has affected "git diff" since 89d07f7 (diff: don't run pager if user asked for a diff style exit code, 2007-08-12). It has also affect the log family since 1fda91b (Fix 'git log' early pager startup error case, 2010-08-24). This patch splits the notion of parsing a colorbool and actually checking the configuration. The "use_color" variables now have an additional possible value, GIT_COLOR_AUTO. Users of the variable should use the new "want_color()" wrapper, which will lazily determine and cache the auto-color decision.

2011-08-18git_config_colorbool: refactor stdout_is_tty handlingLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Usually this function figures out for itself whether stdout is a tty. However, it has an extra parameter just to allow git-config to override the auto-detection for its --get-colorbool option. Instead of an extra parameter, let's just use a global variable. This makes calling easier in the common case, and will make refactoring the colorbool code much simpler.
