2014-06-20refactor skip_prefix to return a booleanLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use for two reasons: 1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable. For example: tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"); if (tmp) buf = tmp; 2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as you need extra parentheses to silence compiler warnings. For example: if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo")) /* do something with cp */ Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but means we are repeating ourselves). This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean, and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This lets you write: if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg)) do_foo(arg); else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg)) do_bar(arg); Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Commit f2e0873 (branch: report invalid tracking branch as gone) removed an early return from fill_tracking_info() in the path taken when 'git branch -v' lists a branch in sync with its upstream. This resulted in an unconditionally added space in front of the subject line: $ git branch -v * master f5eb3da commit pushed to upstream topic f935eb6 unpublished topic Instead, only add the trailing space if a decoration have been added.

"git branch -v -v" (and "git status") did not distinguish among a branch that does not build on any other branch, a branch that is in sync with the branch it builds on, and a branch that is configured to build on some other branch that no longer exists. * jx/branch-vv-always-compare-with-upstream: status: always show tracking branch even no change branch: report invalid tracking branch as gone
2013-08-26branch: report invalid tracking branch as goneLibravatar Jiang Xin1-15/+21
Command "git branch -vv" will report tracking branches, but invalid tracking branches are also reported. This is because the function stat_tracking_info() can not distinguish invalid tracking branch from other cases which it would not like to report, such as there is no upstream settings at all, or nothing is changed between one branch and its upstream. Junio suggested missing upstream should be reported [1] like: $ git branch -v -v master e67ac84 initial * topic 3fc0f2a [topicbase: gone] topic $ git status # On branch topic # Your branch is based on 'topicbase', but the upstream is gone. # (use "git branch --unset-upstream" to fixup) ... $ git status -b -s ## topic...topicbase [gone] ... In order to do like that, we need to distinguish these three cases (i.e. no tracking, with configured but no longer valid tracking, and with tracking) in function stat_tracking_info(). So the refactored function stat_tracking_info() has three return values: -1 (with "gone" base), 0 (no base), and 1 (with base). If the caller does not like to report tracking info when nothing changed between the branch and its upstream, simply checks if num_theirs and num_ours are both 0.

2013-01-31branch: let branch filters imply --listLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
Currently, a branch filter like `--contains`, `--merged`, or `--no-merged` is ignored when we are not in listing mode. For example: git branch --contains=foo bar will create the branch "bar" from the current HEAD, ignoring the `--contains` argument entirely. This is not very helpful. There are two reasonable behaviors for git here: 1. Flag an error; the arguments do not make sense. 2. Implicitly go into `--list` mode This patch chooses the latter, as it is more convenient, and there should not be any ambiguity with attempting to create a branch; using `--contains` and not wanting to list is nonsensical. That leaves the case where an explicit modification option like `-d` is given. We already catch the case where `--list` is given alongside `-d` and flag an error. With this patch, we will also catch the use of `--contains` and other filter options alongside `-d`. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-10-18branch: skip commit checks when deleting symref branchesLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+8
Before a branch is deleted, we check that it points to a valid commit. With -d we also check that the commit is a merged; this check is not done with -D. The reason for that is that commits pointed to by branches should never go missing; if they do then something broke and it's better to stop instead of adding to the mess. And a non-merged commit may contain changes that are worth preserving, so we require the stronger option -D instead of -d to get rid of them. If a branch consists of a symref, these concerns don't apply. Deleting such a branch can't make a commit become unreferenced, so we don't need to check if it is merged, or even if it is actually a valid commit. Skip them in that case. This allows us to delete dangling symref branches. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Branch names are usually in ASCII so they are not the problem. The problem most likely comes from "(no branch)" translation, which is in UTF-8 and makes display-width calculation just wrong. Clarify this by renaming the field "len" in struct ref_item to "width", as it stores the display-width and is used to compute the width of the screen needed to show the names of all the branches, and compute the display width using utf8_strwidth(), not byte-length with strlen(). Update document to mention the fact that we may want ref names in UTF-8. Encodings that produce invalid UTF-8 are safe as utf8_strwidth() falls back to strlen(). The ones that incidentally produce valid UTF-8 sequences will cause misalignment. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-08-23branch: introduce --set-upstream-toLibravatar Carlos Martín Nieto1-2/+15
The existing --set-uptream option can cause confusion, as it uses the usual branch convention of assuming a starting point of HEAD if none is specified, causing git branch --set-upstream origin/master to create a new local branch 'origin/master' that tracks the current branch. As --set-upstream already exists, we can't simply change its behaviour. To work around this, introduce --set-upstream-to which accepts a compulsory argument indicating what the new upstream branch should be and one optinal argument indicating which branch to change, defaulting to HEAD. The new options allows us to type git branch --set-upstream-to origin/master to set the current branch's upstream to be origin's master.
