2017-10-18Merge branch 'jk/ref-filter-colors-fix'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
This is the "theoretically more correct" approach of simply stepping back to the state before plumbing commands started paying attention to "color.ui" configuration variable. Let's run with this one. * jk/ref-filter-colors-fix: tag: respect color.ui config Revert "color: check color.ui in git_default_config()" Revert "t6006: drop "always" color config tests" Revert "color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config"
2017-10-17Revert "color: check color.ui in git_default_config()"Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
This reverts commit 136c8c8b8fa39f1315713248473dececf20f8fe7. That commit was trying to address a bug caused by 4c7f1819b3 (make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10), in which plumbing like diff-tree defaulted to "auto" color, but did not respect a "color.ui" directive to disable it. But it also meant that we started respecting "color.ui" set to "always". This was a known problem, but 4c7f1819b3 argued that nobody ought to be doing that. However, that turned out to be wrong, and we got a number of bug reports related to "add -p" regressing in v2.14.2. Let's revert 136c8c8b8, fixing the regression to "add -p". This leaves the problem from 4c7f1819b3 unfixed, but: 1. It's a pretty obscure problem in the first place. I only noticed it while working on the color code, and we haven't got a single bug report or complaint about it. 2. We can make a more moderate fix on top by respecting "never" but not "always" for plumbing commands. This is just the minimal fix to go back to the working state we had before v2.14.2. Note that this isn't a pure revert. We now have a test in t3701 which shows off the "add -p" regression. This can be flipped to success.

2017-10-04branch: reset instead of release a strbufLibravatar Stefan Beller1-2/+3
Our documentation advises to not re-use a strbuf, after strbuf_release has been called on it. Use the proper reset instead. Currently 'strbuf_release' releases and re-initializes the strbuf, so it is safe, but slow. 'strbuf_reset' only resets the internal length variable, such that this could also be accounted for as a micro-optimization.

The error messages shown when the branch command is misused by supplying it wrong number of parameters wasn't meaningful. That's because it used the the phrase "too many branches" assuming all parameters to be "valid" branch names.

2017-09-24branch: fix "copy" to never touch HEADLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+3
When creating a new branch B by copying the branch A that happens to be the current branch, it also updates HEAD to point at the new branch. It probably was made this way because "git branch -c A B" piggybacked its implementation on "git branch -m A B", This does not match the usual expectation. If I were sitting on a blue chair, and somebody comes and repaints it to red, I would accept ending up sitting on a chair that is now red (I am also OK to stand, instead, as there no longer is my favourite blue chair). But if somebody creates a new red chair, modelling it after the blue chair I am sitting on, I do not expect to be booted off of the blue chair and ending up on sitting on the new red one. Let's fix this before it hits 'next'. Those who want to create a new branch and switch to it can do "git checkout B" after doing a "git branch -c B", and if that operation is so useful and deserves a short-hand way to do so, perhaps extend "git checkout -b B" to copy configurations while creating the new branch B.

2017-08-17builtin/branch: stop supporting the "--set-upstream" optionLibravatar Kaartic Sivaraam1-22/+3
The '--set-upstream' option of branch was deprecated in b347d06b ("branch: deprecate --set-upstream and show help if we detect possible mistaken use", 2012-08-30) and has been planned for removal ever since. In order to prevent "--set-upstream" on a command line from being taken as an abbreviated form of "--set-upstream-to", explicitly catch "--set-upstream" option and die, instead of just removing it from the list of options. Before this change, an attempt to use "--set-upstream" resulted in: $ git branch * master $ git branch --set-upstream origin/master The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider using --track or --set-upstream-to Branch origin/master set up to track local branch master. $ echo $? 0 $ git branch * master origin/master With this change, the behaviour becomes like this: $ git branch * master $ git branch --set-upstream origin/master fatal: the '--set-upstream' option is no longer supported.

2017-07-13ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colorsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
When color placeholders like %(color:red) are used in a ref-filter format, we unconditionally output the colors, even if the user has asked us for no colors. This usually isn't a problem when the user is constructing a --format on the command line, but it means we may do the wrong thing when the format is fed from a script or alias. For example: $ git config alias.b 'branch --format=%(color:green)%(refname)' $ git b --no-color should probably omit the green color. Likewise, running: $ git b >branches should probably also omit the color, just as we would for all baked-in coloring (and as we recently started to do for user-specified colors in --pretty formats). This commit makes both of those cases work by teaching the ref-filter code to consult want_color() before outputting any color. The color flag in ref_format defaults to "-1", which means we'll consult color.ui, which in turn defaults to the usual isatty() check on stdout. However, callers like git-branch which support their own color config (and command-line options) can override that. The new tests independently cover all three of the callers of ref-filter (for-each-ref, tag, and branch). Even though these seem redundant, it confirms that we've correctly plumbed through all of the necessary config to make colors work by default.

2017-07-13color: check color.ui in git_default_config()Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Back in prehistoric times, our decision on whether or not to show color by default relied on using a config callback that either did or didn't load color config like color.diff. When we introduced color.ui, we put it in the same boat: commands had to manually respect it by using git_color_config() or its git_color_default_config() convenience wrapper. But in 4c7f1819b (make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10), that changed. Since then, we default color.ui to auto in all programs, meaning that even plumbing commands like "git diff-tree --pretty" might colorize the output. Nobody seems to have complained in the intervening years, presumably because the "is stdout a tty" check does a good job of catching the right cases. But that leaves an interesting curiosity: color.ui defaults to auto even in plumbing, but you can't actually _disable_ the color via config. So if you really hate color and set "color.ui" to false, diff-tree will still show color (but porcelain like git-diff won't). Nobody noticed that either, probably because very few people disable color. One could argue that the plumbing should _always_ disable color unless an explicit --color option is given on the command line. But in practice, this creates a lot of complications for scripts which do want plumbing to show user-visible output. They can't just pass "--color" blindly; they need to check the user's config and decide what to send. Given that nobody has complained about the current behavior, let's assume it's a good path, and follow it to its conclusion: supporting color.ui everywhere. Note that you can create havoc by setting color.ui=always in your config, but that's more or less already the case. We could disallow it entirely, but it is handy for one-offs like: git -c color.ui=always foo >not-a-tty when "foo" does not take a --color option itself.

2017-07-13ref-filter: abstract ref format into its own structLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+7
The ref-filter module provides routines for formatting a ref for output. The fundamental interface for the format is a "const char *" containing the format, and any additional options need to be passed to each invocation of show_ref_array_item. Instead, let's make a ref_format struct that holds the format, along with any associated format options. That will make some enhancements easier in the future: 1. new formatting options can be added without disrupting existing callers 2. some state can be carried in the struct rather than as global variables For now this just has the text format itself along with the quote_style option, but we'll add more fields in future patches.

2017-07-13check return value of verify_ref_format()Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
Users of the ref-filter code must call verify_ref_format() before formatting any refs, but most ignore its return value. This means we may print an error on a syntactically bogus pattern, but keep going anyway. In most cases this results in a fatal error when we actually try to format a ref. But if you have no refs to show at all, then the behavior is confusing: git prints the error from verify_ref_format(), then exits with code 0 without showing any output. Let's instead abort immediately if we know we have a bogus format. We'll output the usage information if we have it handy (just like the existing call in cmd_for_each_ref() does), and otherwise just die().

2017-07-09branch: use BRANCH_COLOR_LOCAL in ref-filter formatLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+3
Since 949af0684 (branch: use ref-filter printing APIs, 2017-01-10), git-branch's output is generated by passing a custom format to the ref-filter code. This format forgot to pass BRANCH_COLOR_LOCAL, meaning that local branches (besides the current one) were never colored at all. We can add it in the %(if) block where we decide whether the branch is "current" or merely "local". Note that this means the current/local coloring is either/or. You can't set: [color "branch"] local = blue current = bold and expect the current branch to be "bold blue". This matches the pre-949af0684 behavior.

2017-07-09branch: only perform HEAD check for local branchesLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
When assembling the ref-filter format to show "git branch" output, we put the "%(if)%(HEAD)" conditional at the start of the overall format. But there's no point in checking whether a remote branch matches HEAD, as it never will. The check should go inside the local conditional; we assemble that format inside the "local" strbuf. By itself, this is just a minor optimization. But in a future patch, we'll need this refactoring to fix local-branch coloring.

2017-06-18branch: add a --copy (-c) option to go with --move (-m)Libravatar Sahil Dua1-16/+51
Add the ability to --copy a branch and its reflog and configuration, this uses the same underlying machinery as the --move (-m) option except the reflog and configuration is copied instead of being moved. This is useful for e.g. copying a topic branch to a new version, e.g. work to work-2 after submitting the work topic to the list, while preserving all the tracking info and other configuration that goes with the branch, and unlike --move keeping the other already-submitted branch around for reference. Like --move, when the source branch is the currently checked out branch the HEAD is moved to the destination branch. In the case of --move we don't really have a choice (other than remaining on a detached HEAD) and in order to keep the functionality consistent, we are doing it in similar way for --copy too. The most common usage of this feature is expected to be moving to a new topic branch which is a copy of the current one, in that case moving to the target branch is what the user wants, and doesn't unexpectedly behave differently than --move would. One outstanding caveat of this implementation is that: git checkout maint && git checkout master && git branch -c topic && git checkout - Will check out 'maint' instead of 'master'. This is because the @{-N} feature (or its -1 shorthand "-") relies on HEAD reflogs created by the checkout command, so in this case we'll checkout maint instead of master, as the user might expect. What to do about that is left to a future change.

2017-05-08Convert lookup_commit* to struct object_idLibravatar brian m. carlson1-3/+3
Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die, lookup_commit_reference, and lookup_commit_reference_gently to take struct object_id arguments. Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this function. This is required since in order to convert parse_object and parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted. Not introducing a temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a struct object_id *, but lookup_commit would take unsigned char *, leaving a confusing and hard-to-use interface. parse_object_buffer will lose this temporary in a later patch.

2017-03-24ref-filter: add --no-contains option to tag/branch/for-each-refLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+4
Change the tag, branch & for-each-ref commands to have a --no-contains option in addition to their longstanding --contains options. This allows for finding the last-good rollout tag given a known-bad <commit>. Given a hypothetically bad commit cf5c7253e0, the git version to revert to can be found with this hacky two-liner: (git tag -l 'v[0-9]*'; git tag -l --contains cf5c7253e0 'v[0-9]*') | sort | uniq -c | grep -E '^ *1 ' | awk '{print $2}' | tail -n 10 With this new --no-contains option the same can be achieved with: git tag -l --no-contains cf5c7253e0 'v[0-9]*' | sort | tail -n 10 As the filtering machinery is shared between the tag, branch & for-each-ref commands, implement this for those commands too. A practical use for this with "branch" is e.g. finding branches which were branched off between v2.8.0 and v2.10.0: git branch --contains v2.8.0 --no-contains v2.10.0 The "describe" command also has a --contains option, but its semantics are unrelated to what tag/branch/for-each-ref use --contains for. A --no-contains option for "describe" wouldn't make any sense, other than being exactly equivalent to not supplying --contains at all, which would be confusing at best. Add a --without option to "tag" as an alias for --no-contains, for consistency with --with and --contains. The --with option is undocumented, and possibly the only user of it is Junio (<xmqqefy71iej.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com>). But it's trivial to support, so let's do that. The additions to the the test suite are inverse copies of the corresponding --contains tests. With this change --no-contains for tag, branch & for-each-ref is just as well tested as the existing --contains option. In addition to those tests, add a test for "tag" which asserts that --no-contains won't find tree/blob tags, which is slightly unintuitive, but consistent with how --contains works & is documented.

2017-03-02interpret_branch_name: allow callers to restrict expansionsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The interpret_branch_name() function converts names like @{-1} and @{upstream} into branch names. The expanded ref names are not fully qualified, and may be outside of the refs/heads/ namespace (e.g., "@" expands to "HEAD", and "@{upstream}" is likely to be in "refs/remotes/"). This is OK for callers like dwim_ref() which are primarily interested in resolving the resulting name, no matter where it is. But callers like "git branch" treat the result as a branch name in refs/heads/. When we expand to a ref outside that namespace, the results are very confusing (e.g., "git branch @" tries to create refs/heads/HEAD, which is nonsense). Callers can't know from the returned string how the expansion happened (e.g., did the user really ask for a branch named "HEAD", or did we do a bogus expansion?). One fix would be to return some out-parameters describing the types of expansion that occurred. This has the benefit that the caller can generate precise error messages ("I understood @{upstream} to mean origin/master, but that is a remote tracking branch, so you cannot create it as a local name"). However, out-parameters make the function interface somewhat cumbersome. Instead, let's do the opposite: let the caller tell us which elements to expand. That's easier to pass in, and none of the callers give more precise error messages than "@{upstream} isn't a valid branch name" anyway (which should be sufficient). The strbuf_branchname() function needs a similar parameter, as most of the callers access interpret_branch_name() through it. We can break the callers down into two groups: 1. Callers that are happy with any kind of ref in the result. We pass "0" here, so they continue to work without restrictions. This includes merge_name(), the reflog handling in add_pending_object_with_path(), and substitute_branch_name(). This last is what powers dwim_ref(). 2. Callers that have funny corner cases (mostly in git-branch and git-checkout). These need to make use of the new parameter, but I've left them as "0" in this patch, and will address them individually in follow-on patches.

2017-02-27Merge branch 'km/delete-ref-reflog-message'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+4
"git update-ref -d" and other operations to delete references did not leave any entry in HEAD's reflog when the reference being deleted was the current branch. This is not a problem in practice because you do not want to delete the branch you are currently on, but caused renaming of the current branch to something else not to be logged in a useful way. * km/delete-ref-reflog-message: branch: record creation of renamed branch in HEAD's log rename_ref: replace empty message in HEAD's log update-ref: pass reflog message to delete_ref() delete_ref: accept a reflog message argument

2017-02-20branch: record creation of renamed branch in HEAD's logLibravatar Kyle Meyer1-2/+3
Renaming the current branch adds an event to the current branch's log and to HEAD's log. However, the logged entries differ. The entry in the branch's log represents the entire renaming operation (the old and new hash are identical), whereas the entry in HEAD's log represents the deletion only (the new sha1 is null). Extend replace_each_worktree_head_symref(), whose only caller is branch_rename(), to take a reflog message argument. This allows the creation of the new ref to be recorded in HEAD's log. As a result, the renaming event is represented by two entries (a deletion and a creation entry) in HEAD's log. It's a bit unfortunate that the branch's log and HEAD's log now represent the renaming event in different ways. Given that the renaming operation is not atomic, the two-entry form is a more accurate representation of the operation and is more useful for debugging purposes if a failure occurs between the deletion and creation events. It would make sense to move the branch's log to the two-entry form, but this would involve changes to how the rename is carried out and to how the update flags and reflogs are processed for deletions, so it may not be worth the effort.

2017-02-20delete_ref: accept a reflog message argumentLibravatar Kyle Meyer1-1/+1
When the current branch is renamed with 'git branch -m/-M' or deleted with 'git update-ref -m<msg> -d', the event is recorded in HEAD's log with an empty message. In preparation for adding a more meaningful message to HEAD's log in these cases, update delete_ref() to take a message argument and pass it along to ref_transaction_delete(). Modify all callers to pass NULL for the new message argument; no change in behavior is intended. Note that this is relevant for HEAD's log but not for the deleted ref's log, which is currently deleted along with the ref. Even if it were not, an entry for the deletion wouldn't be present in the deleted ref's log. files_transaction_commit() writes to the log if REF_NEEDS_COMMIT or REF_LOG_ONLY are set, but lock_ref_for_update() doesn't set REF_NEEDS_COMMIT for the deleted ref because REF_DELETING is set. In contrast, the update for HEAD has REF_LOG_ONLY set by split_head_update(), resulting in the deletion being logged.

2017-01-31branch: implement '--format' optionLibravatar Karthik Nayak1-5/+9
Implement the '--format' option provided by 'ref-filter'. This lets the user list branches as per desired format similar to the implementation in 'git for-each-ref'.

2017-01-31branch: use ref-filter printing APIsLibravatar Karthik Nayak1-162/+85
Port branch.c to use ref-filter APIs for printing. This clears out most of the code used in branch.c for printing and replaces them with calls made to the ref-filter library. Introduce build_format() which gets the format required for printing of refs. Make amendments to print_ref_list() to reflect these changes. The strings included in build_format() may not be safely quoted for inclusion (i.e. it might contain '%' which needs to be escaped with an additional '%'). Introduce quote_literal_for_format() as a helper function which takes a string and returns a version of the string that is safely quoted to be used in the for-each-ref format which is built in build_format(). Change calc_maxwidth() to also account for the length of HEAD ref, by calling ref-filter:get_head_discription(). Also change the test in t6040 to reflect the changes. Before this patch, all cross-prefix symrefs weren't shortened. Since we're using ref-filter APIs, we shorten all symrefs by default. We also allow the user to change the format if needed with the introduction of the '--format' option in the next patch.

2017-01-10ref-filter: move get_head_description() from branch.cLibravatar Karthik Nayak1-33/+0
Move the implementation of get_head_description() from branch.c to ref-filter. This gives a description of the HEAD ref if called. This is used as the refname for the HEAD ref whenever the FILTER_REFS_DETACHED_HEAD option is used. Make it public because we need it to calculate the length of the HEAD refs description in branch.c:calc_maxwidth() when we port branch.c to use ref-filter APIs.

2016-12-05tag, branch, for-each-ref: add --ignore-case for sorting and filteringLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-9/+14
This options makes sorting ignore case, which is great when you have branches named bug-12-do-something, Bug-12-do-some-more and BUG-12-do-what and want to group them together. Sorting externally may not be an option because we lose coloring and column layout from git-branch and git-tag. The same could be said for filtering, but it's probably less important because you can always go with the ugly pattern [bB][uU][gG]-* if you're desperate. You can't have case-sensitive filtering and case-insensitive sorting (or the other way around) with this though. For branch and tag, that should be no problem. for-each-ref, as a plumbing, might want finer control. But we can always add --{filter,sort}-ignore-case when there is a need for it.
