2018-08-17Merge branch 'rs/parse-opt-lithelp'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
The parse-options machinery learned to refrain from enclosing placeholder string inside a "<bra" and "ket>" pair automatically without PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP. Existing help text for option arguments that are not formatted correctly have been identified and fixed. * rs/parse-opt-lithelp: parse-options: automatically infer PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP shortlog: correct option help for -w send-pack: specify --force-with-lease argument help explicitly pack-objects: specify --index-version argument help explicitly difftool: remove angular brackets from argument help add, update-index: fix --chmod argument help push: use PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP instead of unbalanced brackets
2018-08-03push: use PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP instead of unbalanced bracketsLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+2
The option help text for the force-with-lease option to "git push" reads like this: $ git push -h 2>&1 | grep -e force-with-lease --force-with-lease[=<refname>:<expect>] which comes from having N_("refname>:<expect") as the argument help text in the source code, with an aparent lack of "<" and ">" at both ends. It turns out that parse-options machinery takes the whole string and encloses it inside a pair of "<>", to make it easier for majority cases that uses a single token placeholder. The help string was written in a funnily unbalanced way knowing that the end result would balance out, by somebody who forgot the presence of PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP, which is the escape hatch mechanism designed to help such a case. We just should use the official escape hatch instead. Because ":<expect>" part can be omitted to ask Git to guess, it may be more correct to spell it as "<refname>[:<expect>]", but that is not the focus of this topic.

2018-04-24push: colorize errorsLibravatar Ryan Dammrose1-1/+43
This is an attempt to resolve an issue I experience with people that are new to Git -- especially colleagues in a team setting -- where they miss that their push to a remote location failed because the failure and success both return a block of white text. An example is if I push something to a remote repository and then a colleague attempts to push to the same remote repository and the push fails because it requires them to pull first, but they don't notice because a success and failure both return a block of white text. They then continue about their business, thinking it has been successfully pushed. This patch colorizes the errors and hints (in red and yellow, respectively) so whenever there is a failure when pushing to a remote repository that fails, it is more noticeable. [jes: fixed a couple bugs, added the color.{advice,push,transport} settings, refactored to use want_color_stderr().] Signed-off-by: Ryan Dammrose ryandammrose@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-12-20push: add option to push only submodulesLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+2
Teach push the --recurse-submodules=only option. This enables push to recursively push all unpushed submodules while leaving the superproject unpushed. This is a desirable feature in a scenario where updates to the superproject are handled automatically by some other means, perhaps a tool like Gerrit code review. In this scenario, a developer could make a change which spans multiple submodules and then push their commits for code review. Upon completion of the code review, their commits can be accepted and applied to their respective submodules while the code review tool can then automatically update the superproject to the most recent SHA1 of each submodule. This would reduce the merge conflicts in the superproject that could occur if multiple people are contributing to the same submodule.

2016-10-28push: do not use potentially ambiguous default refspecLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+5
When the user does the lazy "git push" with no parameters with push.default set to either "upstream", "simple" or "current", we internally generated a refspec that has the current branch name on the source side and used it to push. However, the branch name (say "test") may be an ambiguous refname in the context of the source repository---there may be a tag with the same name, for example. This would trigger an unnecessary error without any fault on the end-user's side. Be explicit and give a full refname as the source side to avoid the ambiguity. The destination side when pushing with the "current" sent only the name of the branch and forcing the receiving end to guess, which is the same issue. Be explicit there as well.

2016-02-26Merge branch 'mm/push-default-warning'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-34/+0
Across the transition at around Git version 2.0, the user used to get a pretty loud warning when running "git push" without setting push.default configuration variable. We no longer warn, given that the transition is over long time ago. * mm/push-default-warning: push: remove "push.default is unset" warning message
2016-02-25push: remove "push.default is unset" warning messageLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-34/+0
The warning was important before the 2.0 transition, and remained important for a while after, so that new users get push.default explicitly in their configuration and do not experience inconsistent behavior if they ever used an older version of Git. The warning has been there since version 1.8.0 (Oct 2012), hence we can expect the vast majority of current Git users to have been exposed to it, and most of them have already set push.default explicitly. The switch from 'matching' to 'simple' was planned for 2.0 (May 2014), but actually happened only for 2.3 (Feb 2015). Today, the warning is mostly seen by beginners, who have not set their push.default configuration (yet). For many of them, the warning is confusing because it talks about concepts that they have not learned and asks them a choice that they are not able to make yet. See for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13148066/warning-push-default-is-unset-its-implicit-value-is-changing-in-git-2-0 (1260 votes for the question, 1824 for the answer as of writing) Remove the warning completely to avoid disturbing beginners. People who still occasionally use an older version of Git will be exposed to the warning through this old version. Eventually, versions of Git without the warning will be deployed enough and tutorials will not need to advise setting push.default anymore.

This will let us manipulate any transport flags which have matching config options (there are none yet, but we will add one in the next patch). We could also just make "flags" a static file-scope global, but the result is a little confusing. We end up passing it along through do_push and push_with_options, each of which further munge it.

2014-11-30push: truly use "simple" as default, not "upstream"Libravatar Jeff King1-4/+4
The plan for the push.default transition had all along been to use the "simple" method rather than "upstream" as a default if the user did not specify their own push.default value. Commit 11037ee (push: switch default from "matching" to "simple", 2013-01-04) tried to implement that by moving PUSH_DEFAULT_UNSPECIFIED in our switch statement to fall-through to the PUSH_DEFAULT_SIMPLE case. When the commit that became 11037ee was originally written, that would have been enough. We would fall through to calling setup_push_upstream() with the "simple" parameter set to 1. However, it was delayed for a while until we were ready to make the transition in Git 2.0. And in the meantime, commit ed2b182 (push: change `simple` to accommodate triangular workflows, 2013-06-19) threw a monkey wrench into the works. That commit drops the "simple" parameter to setup_push_upstream, and instead checks whether the global "push_default" is PUSH_DEFAULT_SIMPLE. This is right when the user has explicitly configured push.default to simple, but wrong when we are a fall-through for the "unspecified" case. We never noticed because our push.default tests do not cover the case of the variable being totally unset; they only check the "simple" behavior itself.

2014-09-15push: the beginning of "git push --signed"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
While signed tags and commits assert that the objects thusly signed came from you, who signed these objects, there is not a good way to assert that you wanted to have a particular object at the tip of a particular branch. My signing v2.0.1 tag only means I want to call the version v2.0.1, and it does not mean I want to push it out to my 'master' branch---it is likely that I only want it in 'maint', so the signature on the object alone is insufficient. The only assurance to you that 'maint' points at what I wanted to place there comes from your trust on the hosting site and my authentication with it, which cannot easily audited later. Introduce a mechanism that allows you to sign a "push certificate" (for the lack of better name) every time you push, asserting that what object you are pushing to update which ref that used to point at what other object. Think of it as a cryptographic protection for ref updates, similar to signed tags/commits but working on an orthogonal axis. The basic flow based on this mechanism goes like this: 1. You push out your work with "git push --signed". 2. The sending side learns where the remote refs are as usual, together with what protocol extension the receiving end supports. If the receiving end does not advertise the protocol extension "push-cert", an attempt to "git push --signed" fails. Otherwise, a text file, that looks like the following, is prepared in core: certificate version 0.1 pusher Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1315427886 -0700 7339ca65... 21580ecb... refs/heads/master 3793ac56... 12850bec... refs/heads/next The file begins with a few header lines, which may grow as we gain more experience. The 'pusher' header records the name of the signer (the value of user.signingkey configuration variable, falling back to GIT_COMMITTER_{NAME|EMAIL}) and the time of the certificate generation. After the header, a blank line follows, followed by a copy of the protocol message lines. Each line shows the old and the new object name at the tip of the ref this push tries to update, in the way identical to how the underlying "git push" protocol exchange tells the ref updates to the receiving end (by recording the "old" object name, the push certificate also protects against replaying). It is expected that new command packet types other than the old-new-refname kind will be included in push certificate in the same way as would appear in the plain vanilla command packets in unsigned pushes. The user then is asked to sign this push certificate using GPG, formatted in a way similar to how signed tag objects are signed, and the result is sent to the other side (i.e. receive-pack). In the protocol exchange, this step comes immediately before the sender tells what the result of the push should be, which in turn comes before it sends the pack data. 3. When the receiving end sees a push certificate, the certificate is written out as a blob. The pre-receive hook can learn about the certificate by checking GIT_PUSH_CERT environment variable, which, if present, tells the object name of this blob, and make the decision to allow or reject this push. Additionally, the post-receive hook can also look at the certificate, which may be a good place to log all the received certificates for later audits. Because a push certificate carry the same information as the usual command packets in the protocol exchange, we can omit the latter when a push certificate is in use and reduce the protocol overhead. This however is not included in this patch to make it easier to review (in other words, the series at this step should never be released without the remainder of the series, as it implements an interim protocol that will be incompatible with the final one). As such, the documentation update for the protocol is left out of this step. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-06-20refactor skip_prefix to return a booleanLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+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>
