2015-10-15Merge branch 'kn/for-each-branch'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-352/+150
Update "git branch" that list existing branches, using the ref-filter API that is shared with "git tag" and "git for-each-ref". * kn/for-each-branch: branch: add '--points-at' option branch.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs branch.c: use 'ref-filter' data structures branch: drop non-commit error reporting branch: move 'current' check down to the presentation layer branch: roll show_detached HEAD into regular ref_list branch: bump get_head_description() to the top branch: refactor width computation

Some features from "git tag -l" and "git branch -l" have been made available to "git for-each-ref" so that eventually the unified implementation can be shared across all three, in a follow-up series or two. * kn/for-each-tag-branch: for-each-ref: add '--contains' option ref-filter: implement '--contains' option parse-options.h: add macros for '--contains' option parse-option: rename parse_opt_with_commit() for-each-ref: add '--merged' and '--no-merged' options ref-filter: implement '--merged' and '--no-merged' options ref-filter: add parse_opt_merge_filter() for-each-ref: add '--points-at' option ref-filter: implement '--points-at' option tag: libify parse_opt_points_at() t6302: for-each-ref tests for ref-filter APIs

2015-09-25branch.c: use 'ref-filter' APIsLibravatar Karthik Nayak1-178/+35
Make 'branch.c' use 'ref-filter' APIs for iterating through refs sorting. This removes most of the code used in 'branch.c' replacing it with calls to the 'ref-filter' library. Make 'branch.c' use the 'filter_refs()' function provided by 'ref-filter' to filter out tags based on the options set. We provide a sorting option provided for 'branch.c' by using the sorting options provided by 'ref-filter'. Also by default, we sort by 'refname'. Since 'HEAD' is alphabatically before 'refs/...' we end up with an array consisting of the 'HEAD' ref then the local branches and finally the remote-tracking branches. Also remove the 'ignore' variable from ref_array_item as it was previously used for the '--merged' option and now that is handled by ref-filter. Modify some of the tests in t1430 to check the stderr for a warning regarding the broken ref. This is done as ref-filter throws a warning for broken refs rather than directly printing them. Add tests and documentation for the same.

2015-09-25branch.c: use 'ref-filter' data structuresLibravatar Karthik Nayak1-189/+128
Make 'branch.c' use 'ref-filter' data structures and make changes to support the new data structures. This is a part of the process of porting 'branch.c' to use 'ref-filter' APIs. This is a temporary step before porting 'branch.c' to use 'ref-filter' completely. As this is a temporary step, most of the code introduced here will be removed when 'branch.c' is ported over to use 'ref-filter' APIs.

2015-09-25branch: drop non-commit error reportingLibravatar Karthik Nayak1-14/+4
Remove the error "branch '%s' does not point at a commit" in append_ref(), which reports branch refs which do not point to commits. Also remove the error "some refs could not be read" in print_ref_list() which is triggered as a consequence of the first error. The purpose of these codepaths is not to diagnose and report a repository corruption. If we care about such a corruption, we should report it from fsck instead, which we already do. This also helps in a smooth port of branch.c to use ref-filter APIs over the following patches. On the other hand, ref-filter ignores refs which do not point at commits silently.

2015-09-23branch: roll show_detached HEAD into regular ref_listLibravatar Karthik Nayak1-28/+33
Remove show_detached() and make detached HEAD to be rolled into regular ref_list by adding REF_DETACHED_HEAD as a kind of branch and supporting the same in append_ref(). This eliminates the need for an extra function and helps in easier porting of branch.c to use ref-filter APIs. Before show_detached() used to check if the HEAD branch satisfies the '--contains' option, now that is taken care by append_ref().

Remove unnecessary variables from ref_list and ref_item which were used for width computation. This is to make ref_item similar to ref-filter's ref_array_item. This will ensure a smooth port of branch.c to use ref-filter APIs in further patches. Previously the maxwidth was computed when inserting the refs into the ref_list.

2015-06-22delete_ref(): use the usual convention for old_sha1Libravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+2
The ref_transaction_update() family of functions use the following convention for their old_sha1 parameters: * old_sha1 == NULL: Don't check the old value at all. * is_null_sha1(old_sha1): Ensure that the reference didn't exist before the transaction. * otherwise: Ensure that the reference had the specified value before the transaction. delete_ref() had a different convention, namely treating is_null_sha1(old_sha1) as "don't care". Change it to adhere to the standard convention to reduce the scope for confusion. Please note that it is now a bug to pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to delete_ref() (because it doesn't make sense to delete a reference that you already know doesn't exist). This is consistent with the behavior of ref_transaction_delete(). Most of the callers of delete_ref() never pass old_sha1=NULL_SHA1 to delete_ref(), and are therefore unaffected by this change. The two exceptions are: * The call in cmd_update_ref(), which passed NULL_SHA1 if the old value passed in on the command line was 0{40} or the empty string. Change that caller to pass NULL in those cases. Arguably, it should be an error to call "update-ref -d" with the old value set to "does not exist", just as it is for the `--stdin` command "delete". But since this usage was accepted until now, continue to accept it. * The call in delete_branches(), which could pass NULL_SHA1 if deleting a broken or symbolic ref. Change it to pass NULL in these cases. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-05-25each_ref_fn: change to take an object_id parameterLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-1/+3
Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid" parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1". To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called "each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter(). This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple, mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref" family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

2015-05-22remote.c: return upstream name from stat_tracking_infoLibravatar Jeff King1-11/+5
After calling stat_tracking_info, callers often want to print the name of the upstream branch (in addition to the tracking count). To do this, they have to access branch->merge->dst[0] themselves. This is not wrong, as the return value from stat_tracking_info tells us whether we have an upstream branch or not. But it is a bit leaky, as we make an assumption about how it calculated the upstream name. Instead, let's add an out-parameter that lets the caller know the upstream name we found. As a bonus, we can get rid of the unusual tri-state return from the function. We no longer need to use it to differentiate between "no tracking config" and "tracking ref does not exist" (since you can check the upstream_name for that), so we can just use the usual 0/-1 convention for success/error.

When the previous commit introduced the branch_get_upstream helper, there was one call-site that could not be converted: the one in sha1_name.c, which gives detailed error messages for each possible failure. Let's teach the helper to optionally report these specific errors. This lets us convert another callsite, and means we can use the helper in other locations that want to give the same error messages. The logic and error messages come straight from sha1_name.c, with the exception that we start each error with a lowercase letter, as is our usual style (note that a few tests need updated as a result).

2014-10-15refs.c: allow listing and deleting badly named refsLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-4/+5
We currently do not handle badly named refs well: $ cp .git/refs/heads/master .git/refs/heads/master.....@\*@\\. $ git branch fatal: Reference has invalid format: 'refs/heads/master.....@*@\.' $ git branch -D master.....@\*@\\. error: branch 'master.....@*@\.' not found. Users cannot recover from a badly named ref without manually finding and deleting the loose ref file or appropriate line in packed-refs. Making that easier will make it easier to tweak the ref naming rules in the future, for example to forbid shell metacharacters like '`' and '"', without putting people in a state that is hard to get out of. So allow "branch --list" to show these refs and allow "branch -d/-D" and "update-ref -d" to delete them. Other commands (for example to rename refs) will continue to not handle these refs but can be changed in later patches. Details: In resolving functions, refuse to resolve refs that don't pass the git-check-ref-format(1) check unless the new RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME flag is passed. Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, refuse to resolve refs that escape the refs/ directory and do not match the pattern [A-Z_]* (think "HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD"). In locking functions, refuse to act on badly named refs unless they are being deleted and either are in the refs/ directory or match [A-Z_]*. Just like other invalid refs, flag resolved, badly named refs with the REF_ISBROKEN flag, treat them as resolving to null_sha1, and skip them in all iteration functions except for for_each_rawref. Flag badly named refs (but not symrefs pointing to badly named refs) with a REF_BAD_NAME flag to make it easier for future callers to notice and handle them specially. For example, in a later patch for-each-ref will use this flag to detect refs whose names can confuse callers parsing for-each-ref output. In the transaction API, refuse to create or update badly named refs, but allow deleting them (unless they try to escape refs/ and don't match [A-Z_]*).

When "git branch -d" reads the branch it is about to delete, it used to avoid passing the RESOLVE_REF_READING ('treat missing ref as error') flag because a symref pointing to a nonexistent ref would show up as missing instead of as something that could be deleted. To check if a ref is actually missing, we then check - is it a symref? - if not, did it resolve to null_sha1? Now we pass RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE and the correct information is returned for a symref even when it points to a missing ref. Simplify by relying on RESOLVE_REF_READING. No functional change intended. Signed-off-by: Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-10-15branch -d: avoid repeated symref resolutionLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+2
If a repository gets in a broken state with too much symref nesting, it cannot be repaired with "git branch -d": $ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/nonsense refs/heads/nonsense $ git branch -d nonsense error: branch 'nonsense' not found. Worse, "git update-ref --no-deref -d" doesn't work for such repairs either: $ git update-ref -d refs/heads/nonsense error: unable to resolve reference refs/heads/nonsense: Too many levels of symbolic links Fix both by teaching resolve_ref_unsafe a new RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE flag and passing it when appropriate. Callers can still read the value of a symref (for example to print a message about it) with that flag set --- resolve_ref_unsafe will resolve one level of symrefs and stop there.

2014-10-15refs.c: change resolve_ref_unsafe reading argument to be a flags fieldLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-4/+5
resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when we want this behaviour. While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited. Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same treatment for consistency.

2014-10-14color_parse: do not mention variable name in error messageLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+1
Originally the color-parsing function was used only for config variables. It made sense to pass the variable name so that the die() message could be something like: $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'color.branch.plain' These days we call it in other contexts, and the resulting error messages are a little confusing: $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)' fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable '--pretty format' $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'command line' This patch teaches color_parse to complain only about the value, and then return an error code. Config callers can then propagate that up to the config parser, which mentions the variable name. Other callers can provide a custom message. After this patch these three cases now look like: $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse 'color.branch.plain' from command-line config $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)' error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse --pretty format $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus error: invalid color value: bogus fatal: unable to parse default color value Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-10-14pass config slots as pointers instead of offsetsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-8/+8
Many config-parsing helpers, like parse_branch_color_slot, take the name of a config variable and an offset to the "slot" name (e.g., "color.branch.plain" is passed along with "13" to effectively pass "plain"). This is leftover from the time that these functions would die() on error, and would want the full variable name for error reporting. These days they do not use the full variable name at all. Passing a single pointer to the slot name is more natural, and lets us more easily adjust the callers to use skip_prefix to avoid manually writing offset numbers. This is effectively a continuation of 9e1a5eb, which did the same for parse_diff_color_slot. This patch covers all of the remaining similar constructs.

2014-09-18branch: clean up commit flags after merge-filter walkLibravatar Jeff King1-14/+19
When we run `branch --merged`, we use prepare_revision_walk with the merge-filter marked as UNINTERESTING. Any branch tips that are marked UNINTERESTING after it returns must be ancestors of that commit. As we iterate through the list of refs to show, we check item->commit->object.flags to see whether it was marked. This interacts badly with --verbose, which will do a separate walk to find the ahead/behind information for each branch. There are two bad things that can happen: 1. The ahead/behind walk may get the wrong results, because it can see a bogus UNINTERESTING flag leftover from the merge-filter walk. 2. We may omit some branches if their tips are involved in the ahead/behind traversal of a branch shown earlier. The ahead/behind walk carefully cleans up its commit flags, meaning it may also erase the UNINTERESTING flag that we expect to check later. We can solve this by moving the merge-filter state for each ref into its "struct ref_item" as soon as we finish the merge-filter walk. That fixes (2). Then we are free to clear the commit flags we used in the walk, fixing (1). Note that we actually do away with the matches_merge_filter helper entirely here, and inline it between the revision walk and the flag-clearing. This ensures that nobody accidentally calls it at the wrong time (it is only safe to check in that instant between the setting and clearing of the global flag).

2014-08-12prepare_revision_walk(): check for return value in all placesLibravatar Stefan Beller1-1/+3
Even the documentation tells us: You should check if it returns any error (non-zero return code) and if it does not, you can start using get_revision() to do the iteration. In preparation for this commit, I grepped all occurrences of prepare_revision_walk and added error messages, when there were none.

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>
