2015-10-16usage: do not insist that standard input must come from a fileLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The synopsys text and the usage string of subcommands that read list of things from the standard input are often shown like this: git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> This is problematic in a number of ways: * The way to use these commands is more often to feed them the output from another command, not feed them from a file. * Manual pages outside Git, commands that operate on the data read from the standard input, e.g "sort", "grep", "sed", etc., are not described with such a "< redirection-from-file" in their synopsys text. Our doing so introduces inconsistency. * We do not insist on where the output should go, by saying git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> > <output> * As it is our convention to enclose placeholders inside <braket>, the redirection operator followed by a placeholder filename becomes very hard to read, both in the documentation and in the help text. Let's clean them all up, after making sure that the documentation clearly describes the modes that take information from the standard input and what kind of things are expected on the input.

2014-06-10patch-id: make it stable against hunk reorderingLibravatar Michael S. Tsirkin1-15/+59
Patch id changes if users reorder file diffs that make up a patch. As the result is functionally equivalent, a different patch id is surprising to many users. In particular, reordering files using diff -O is helpful to make patches more readable (e.g. API header diff before implementation diff). Add an option to change patch-id behaviour making it stable against these kinds of patch change: calculate SHA1 hash for each hunk separately and sum all hashes (using a symmetrical sum) to get patch id We use a 20byte sum and not xor - since xor would give 0 output for patches that have two identical diffs, which isn't all that unlikely (e.g. append the same line in two places). The new behaviour is enabled - when patchid.stable is true - when --stable flag is present Using a new flag --unstable or setting patchid.stable to false force the historical behaviour. In the documentation, clarify that patch ID can now be a sum of hashes, not a hash. Document how command line and config options affect the behaviour. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2011-09-22patch-id.c: use strbuf instead of a fixed bufferLibravatar Michael Schubert1-4/+6
get_one_patchid() uses a rather dumb heuristic to determine if the passed buffer is part of the next commit. Whenever the first 40 bytes are a valid hexadecimal sha1 representation, get_one_patchid() returns next_sha1. Once the current line is longer than the fixed buffer, this will break (provided the additional bytes make a valid hexadecimal sha1). As a result patch-id returns incorrect results. Instead, use strbuf and read one line at a time. Helped-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Michael Schubert <mschub@elegosoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-03-22Fix sparse warningsLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-3/+2

2011-02-17git-patch-id: do not trip over "no newline" markersLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+2
Currently, patch-id trips over our very own diff extension for marking the absence of newline at EOF. Fix it. (Ignore it, it's whitespace.) Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-04-19patch-id: Add support for mbox formatLibravatar Paolo Bonzini1-6/+62
I have an alias that takes two arguments and compares their patch IDs. I would like to use to make sure I've tested exactly what I submit (patch by patch), like git patch-cmp origin/master.. file-being-sent However, I cannot do that because git patch-id is fooled by the "-- " trailer that git format-patch puts, or likely by the MIME boundary. This patch adds hunk parsing logic to git patch-id in order to detect an out of place "-" line and split the patch when it comes. In addition, commit ids in the "From " lines are considered and printed in the output. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-02-22Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectoryLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+85
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>
