2013-03-02mailsplit: sort maildir filenames more cleverlyLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+23
A maildir does not technically record the order in which items were placed into it. That means that when applying a patch series from a maildir, we may get the patches in the wrong order. We try to work around this by sorting the filenames. Unfortunately, this may or may not work depending on the naming scheme used by the writer of the maildir. For instance, mutt will write: ${epoch_seconds}.${pid}_${seq}.${host} where we have: - epoch_seconds: timestamp at which entry was written - pid: PID of writing process - seq: a sequence number to ensure uniqueness of filenames - host: hostname None of the numbers are zero-padded. Therefore, when we sort the names as byte strings, entries that cross a digit boundary (e.g., 10) will sort out of order. In the case of timestamps, it almost never matters (because we do not cross a digit boundary in the epoch time very often these days). But for the sequence number, a 10-patch series would be ordered as 1, 10, 2, 3, etc. To fix this, we can use a custom sort comparison function which traverses each string, comparing chunks of digits numerically, and otherwise doing a byte-for-byte comparison. That would sort: 123.456_1.bar 123.456_2.bar ... 123.456_10.bar according to the sequence number. Since maildir does not define a filename format, this is really just a heuristic. But it happens to work for mutt, and there is a reasonable chance that it will work for other writers, too (at least as well as a straight sort).

2010-06-27string_list: Fix argument order for string_list_insertLibravatar Julian Phillips1-1/+1
Update the definition and callers of string_list_insert to use the string_list as the first argument. This helps make the string_list API easier to use by being more consistent. Signed-off-by: Julian Phillips <julian@quantumfyre.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-03-10Merge branch 'sh/am-keep-cr'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
* sh/am-keep-cr: git-am: Add tests for `--keep-cr`, `--no-keep-cr` and `am.keepcr` git-am: Add am.keepcr and --no-keep-cr to override it git-am: Add command line parameter `--keep-cr` passing it to git-mailsplit documentation: 'git-mailsplit --keep-cr' is not hidden anymore
2010-02-22Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectoryLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+309
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n) [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab> builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c you get [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type] builtin/ builtin.h [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief. NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off around 100 choices or something. So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
