2018-07-18Merge branch 'jk/branch-l-0-deprecation'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+21
The "-l" option in "git branch -l" is an unfortunate short-hand for "--create-reflog", but many users, both old and new, somehow expect it to be something else, perhaps "--list". This step warns when "-l" is used as a short-hand for "--create-reflog" and warns about the future repurposing of the it when it is used. * jk/branch-l-0-deprecation: branch: deprecate "-l" option t: switch "branch -l" to "branch --create-reflog" t3200: unset core.logallrefupdates when testing reflog creation

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.

2018-05-29help: add --config to list all available configLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+3
Sometimes it helps to list all available config vars so the user can search for something they want. The config man page can also be used but it's harder to search if you want to focus on the variable name, for example. This is not the best way to collect the available config since it's not precise. Ideally we should have a centralized list of config in C code (pretty much like 'struct option'), but that's a lot more work. This will do for now.

Instead of hard coding the name-to-id mapping in C code, keep it in an array and use a common function to do the parsing. This reduces code and also allows us to list all possible color slots later.

2018-05-06Replace all die("BUG: ...") calls by BUG() onesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
In d8193743e08 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro was introduced to use for reporting bugs instead of die(). It was then subsequently used to convert one single caller in 588a538ae55 (setup_git_env: convert die("BUG") to BUG(), 2017-05-12). The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch (cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs.

2018-03-29ref-filter: start adding strbufs with errorsLibravatar Olga Telezhnaya1-2/+5
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. This commit changes signature of format_ref_array_item() by adding return value and strbuf parameter for errors, and adjusts its callers. While at it, reduce the scope of the out-variable.

2017-12-07branch: update warning message shown when copying a misnamed branchLibravatar Kaartic Sivaraam1-1/+1
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". A similar message is shown when trying to create a copy of a misnamed branch even though it doesn't remove the misnamed branch. This is not correct and may confuse the user. So, update the warning message shown to be more precise that only a copy of the misnamed branch has been created. It's better to show the warning message than not showing it at all as it makes the user aware of the presence of a misnamed branch.

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`.

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.

2017-09-24branch: 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.

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().

2017-07-12Merge branch 'kn/ref-filter-branch-list'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+9
The rewrite of "git branch --list" using for-each-ref's internals that happened in v2.13 regressed its handling of color.branch.local; this has been fixed. * kn/ref-filter-branch-list: ref-filter.c: drop return from void function branch: set remote color in ref-filter branch immediately branch: use BRANCH_COLOR_LOCAL in ref-filter format branch: only perform HEAD check for local branches
2017-07-09branch: set remote color in ref-filter branch immediatelyLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+6
We set the current and local branch colors at the top of the build_format() function. Let's do the same for the remote color. This saves a little bit of repetition, but more importantly it puts all of the color-setting in the same place. That makes it easier to see that we are coloring all possibilities.

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.
