2020-05-08Merge branch 'jk/for-each-ref-multi-key-sort-fix'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
"git branch" and other "for-each-ref" variants accepted multiple --sort=<key> options in the increasing order of precedence, but it had a few breakages around "--ignore-case" handling, and tie-breaking with the refname, which have been fixed. * jk/for-each-ref-multi-key-sort-fix: ref-filter: apply fallback refname sort only after all user sorts ref-filter: apply --ignore-case to all sorting keys
2020-05-04ref-filter: apply --ignore-case to all sorting keysLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
All of the ref-filter users (for-each-ref, branch, and tag) take an --ignore-case option which makes filtering and sorting case-insensitive. However, this option was applied only to the first element of the ref_sorting list. So: git for-each-ref --ignore-case --sort=refname would do what you expect, but: git for-each-ref --ignore-case --sort=refname --sort=taggername would sort the primary key (taggername) case-insensitively, but sort the refname case-sensitively. We have two options here: - teach callers to set ignore_case on the whole list - replace the ref_sorting list with a struct that contains both the list of sorting keys, as well as options that apply to _all_ keys I went with the first one here, as it gives more flexibility if we later want to let the users set the flag per-key (presumably through some special syntax when defining the key; for now it's all or nothing through --ignore-case). The new test covers this by sorting on both tagger and subject case-insensitively, which should compare "a" and "A" identically, but still sort them before "b" and "B". We'll break ties by sorting on the refname to give ourselves a stable output (this is actually supposed to be done automatically, but there's another bug which will be fixed in the next commit).

2020-04-28Use OPT_CALLBACK and OPT_CALLBACK_FLibravatar Denton Liu1-4/+2
In the codebase, there are many options which use OPTION_CALLBACK in a plain ol' struct definition. However, we have the OPT_CALLBACK and OPT_CALLBACK_F macros which are meant to abstract these plain struct definitions away. These macros are useful as they semantically signal to developers that these are just normal callback option with nothing fancy happening. Replace plain struct definitions of OPTION_CALLBACK with OPT_CALLBACK or OPT_CALLBACK_F where applicable. The heavy lifting was done using the following (disgusting) shell script: #!/bin/sh do_replacement () { tr '\n' '\r' | sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\s*0,\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6)/g' | sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK_F(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6,\7)/g' | tr '\r' '\n' } for f in $(git ls-files \*.c) do do_replacement <"$f" >"$f.tmp" mv "$f.tmp" "$f" done The result was manually inspected and then reformatted to match the style of the surrounding code. Finally, using `git grep OPTION_CALLBACK \*.c`, leftover results which were not handled by the script were manually transformed.

2019-05-29doc branch: provide examples for listing remote tracking branchesLibravatar Philip Oakley1-1/+2
The availability of these pattern selections is not obvious from the man pages, as per mail thread <87lfz3vcbt.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com>. Provide examples. Re-order the `git branch` synopsis to emphasise the `--list <pattern>` pairing. Also expand and reposition the `all/remotes` options. Split the over-long description into three parts so that the <pattern> description can be seen. Clarify that the `all/remotes` options require the --list if patterns are to be used. Add examples of listing remote tracking branches that match a pattern, including `git for-each-ref` which has more options. Improve the -a/-r warning message. The message confused this author as the combined -a and -r options had not been given, though a pattern had. Specifically guide the user that maybe they needed the --list option to enable a remote branch pattern selection.

2019-03-21parse_opt_ref_sorting: always use with NONEG flagLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+1
The "--sort" parameter of for-each-ref, etc, does not handle negation, and instead returns an error to the parse-options code. But neither piece of code prints anything for the user, which may leave them confused: $ git for-each-ref --no-sort $ echo $? 129 As the comment in the callback function notes, this probably should clear the list, which would make it consistent with other list-like options (i.e., anything that uses OPT_STRING_LIST currently). Unfortunately that's a bit tricky due to the way the ref-filter code works. But in the meantime, let's at least make the error a little less confusing: - switch to using PARSE_OPT_NONEG in the option definition, which will cause the options code to produce a useful message - since this was cut-and-pasted to four different spots, let's define a single OPT_REF_SORT() macro that we can use everywhere - the callback can use BUG_ON_OPT_NEG() to make sure the correct flags are used (incidentally, this also satisfies -Wunused-parameters, since we're now looking at "unset") - expand the comment into a NEEDSWORK to make it clear that the direction is right, but the details need to be worked out Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

branch_get sometimes returns current_branch, which can be NULL (e.g., if you're on a detached HEAD). Try: $ git branch HEAD fatal: no such branch 'HEAD' $ git branch '' fatal: no such branch '' However, it seems weird that we'd check those cases here (and provide such lousy messages). And indeed, dropping that and letting us eventually hit create_branch() gives a much better message: $ git branch HEAD fatal: 'HEAD' is not a valid branch name. $ git branch '' fatal: '' is not a valid branch name.

2018-06-22branch: make "-l" a synonym for "--list"Libravatar Jeff King1-21/+1
The other "mode" options of git-branch have short-option aliases that are easy to type (e.g., "-d" and "-m"). Let's give "--list" the same treatment. This also makes it consistent with the similar "git tag -l" option. We didn't do this originally because "--create-reflog" was squatting on the "-l" option. Now that we've deprecated that use for long enough, we can make the switch. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-06-22branch: deprecate "-l" optionLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+21
The "-l" option is short for "--create-reflog". This has caused much confusion over the years. Most people expect it to work as "--list", because that would match the other "mode" options like -d/--delete and -m/--move, as well as the similar -l/--list option of git-tag. Adding to the confusion, using "-l" _appears_ to work as "--list" in some cases: $ git branch -l * master because the branch command defaults to listing (so even trying to specify --list in the command above is redundant). But that may bite the user later when they add a pattern, like: $ git branch -l foo which does not return an empty list, but in fact creates a new branch (with a reflog, naturally) called "foo". It's also probably quite uncommon for people to actually use "-l" to create a reflog. Since 0bee591869 (Enable reflogs by default in any repository with a working directory., 2006-12-14), this is the default in non-bare repositories. So it's rather unfortunate that the feature squats on the short-and-sweet "-l" (which was only added in 3a4b3f269c (Create/delete branch ref logs., 2006-05-19), meaning there were only 7 months where it was actually useful). Let's deprecate "-l" in hopes of eventually re-purposing it to "--list". Note that we issue the warning only when we're not in list mode. This means that people for whom it works as a happy accident, namely: $ git branch -l master won't see the warning at all. And when we eventually switch to it meaning "--list", that will just continue to work. We do the issue the warning for these important cases: - when we are actually creating a branch, in case the user really did mean it as "--create-reflog" - when we are in some _other_ mode, like deletion. There the "-l" is a noop for now, but it will eventually conflict with any other mode request, and the user should be told that this is changing.

This is a first step in removing die() calls from ref-filter formatting logic, so that it could be used by other commands that do not want to die during formatting process. die() calls related to bugs in code will not be touched in this patch. Everything would be the same for show_ref_array_item() users. But, if you want to deal with errors by your own, you could invoke format_ref_array_item(). It means that you need to print everything (the result and errors) on your side.

When a user tries to rename a branch that has a "bad name" (e.g., starts with a '-') then we warn them that the misnamed branch has been renamed "away".

2017-11-20branch: change default of `pager.branch` to "on"Libravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+1
This is similar to ff1e72483 (tag: change default of `pager.tag` to "on", 2017-08-02) and is safe now that we do not consider `pager.branch` at all when we are not listing branches. This change will help with listing many branches, but will not hurt users of `git branch --edit-description` as it would have before the previous commit.

2017-11-20branch: respect `pager.branch` in list-mode onlyLibravatar Martin Ågren1-0/+3
Similar to de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only, 2017-08-02), use the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG-mechanism to only respect `pager.branch` when we are listing branches. We have two possibilities of generalizing what that earlier commit made to `git tag`. One is to interpret, e.g., --set-upstream-to as "it does not use an editor, so we should page". Another, the one taken by this commit, is to say "it does not list, so let's not page". That is in line with the approach of the series on `pager.tag` and in particular the wording in Documentation/git-tag.txt, which this commit reuses for git-branch.txt. This fixes the failing test added in the previous commit. Also adapt the test for whether `git branch --set-upstream-to` respects `pager.branch`.

2017-11-15builtin/branch: remove redundant check for HEADLibravatar Kaartic Sivaraam1-3/+0
The lower level code has been made to handle this case for the sake of consistency. This has made this check redundant. So, remove the redundant check. Signed-off-by: Kaartic Sivaraam <kaartic.sivaraam@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
