2015-01-14standardize usage info string formatLibravatar Alex Henrie1-4/+4
This patch puts the usage info strings that were not already in docopt- like format into docopt-like format, which will be a litle easier for end users and a lot easier for translators. Changes include: - Placing angle brackets around fill-in-the-blank parameters - Putting dashes in multiword parameter names - Adding spaces to [-f|--foobar] to make [-f | --foobar] - Replacing <foobar>* with [<foobar>...] Signed-off-by: Alex Henrie <alexhenrie24@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

-f/--force is the standard way to force an action, and is used by branch for the recreation of existing branches, but not for deleting unmerged branches nor for renaming to an existing branch. Make "-m -f" equivalent to "-M" and "-d -f" equivalent to" -D", i.e. allow -f/--force to be used with -m/-d also. For the list modes, "-f" is simply ignored.

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_]*).

2014-10-15branch -d: simplify by using RESOLVE_REF_READINGLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-3/+4
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.

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).

2014-06-20refactor 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>

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: show targets of deleted symrefs, not sha1sLibravatar René Scharfe1-8/+11
git branch reports the abbreviated hash of the head commit of a deleted branch to make it easier for a user to undo the operation. For symref branches this doesn't help. Print the symref target instead for them. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> 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>
