2013-06-12rm: introduce advice.rmHints to shorten messagesLibravatar Mathieu Lienard--Mayor1-1/+2
Introduce advice.rmHints to choose whether to display advice or not when git rm fails. Defaults to true, in order to preserve current behavior. As an example, the message: error: 'foo.txt' has changes staged in the index (use --cached to keep the file, or -f to force removal) would look like, with advice.rmHints=false: error: 'foo.txt' has changes staged in the index Signed-off-by: Mathieu Lienard--Mayor <Mathieu.Lienard--Mayor@ensimag.imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Jorge Juan Garcia Garcia <Jorge-Juan.Garcia-Garcia@ensimag.imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@grenoble-inp.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-06-12rm: better error message on failure for multiple filesLibravatar Mathieu Lienard--Mayor1-19/+81
When 'git rm' fails, it now displays a single message with the list of files involved, instead of displaying a list of messages with one file each. As an example, the old message: error: 'foo.txt' has changes staged in the index (use --cached to keep the file, or -f to force removal) error: 'bar.txt' has changes staged in the index (use --cached to keep the file, or -f to force removal) would now be displayed as: error: the following files have changes staged in the index: foo.txt bar.txt (use --cached to keep the file, or -f to force removal) Signed-off-by: Mathieu Lienard--Mayor <Mathieu.Lienard--Mayor@ensimag.imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Jorge Juan Garcia Garcia <Jorge-Juan.Garcia-Garcia@ensimag.imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@grenoble-inp.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-04-04rm: do not complain about d/f conflicts during deletionLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
If we used to have an index entry "d/f", but "d" has been replaced by a non-directory entry, the user may still want to run "git rm" to delete the stale index entry. They could use "git rm --cached" to just touch the index, but "git rm" should also work: we explicitly try to handle the case that the file has already been removed from the working tree. However, because unlinking "d/f" in this case will not yield ENOENT, but rather ENOTDIR, we do not notice that the file is already gone. Instead, we report it as an error. The simple solution is to treat ENOTDIR in this case exactly like ENOENT; all we want to know is whether the file is already gone, and if a leading path is no longer a directory, then by definition the sub-path is gone.

Finishing touches to "git rm $submodule" that removes the working tree of a submodule. * jl/submodule-rm: Teach rm to remove submodules when given with a trailing '/'
2012-11-23Teach rm to remove submodules when given with a trailing '/'Libravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+15
Doing a "git rm submod/" on a submodule results in an error: fatal: pathspec 'submod/' did not match any files This is really inconvenient as e.g. using TAB completion in a shell on a submodule automatically adds the trailing '/' when it completes the path of the submodule directory. The user has then to remove the '/' herself to make a "git rm" succeed. Doing a "git rm -r somedir/" is working fine, so there is no reason why that shouldn't work for submodules too. Teach git rm to not error out when a '/' is appended to the path of a submodule. Achieve this by chopping off trailing slashes from the path names given if they represent directories. Add tests to make sure that logic only applies to directories and not to files. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-10-29Merge branch 'jl/submodule-rm'Libravatar Jeff King1-15/+110
"git rm submodule" cannot blindly remove a submodule directory as its working tree may have local changes, and worse yet, it may even have its repository embedded in it. Teach it some special cases where it is safe to remove a submodule, specifically, when there is no local changes in the submodule working tree, and its repository is not embedded in its working tree but is elsewhere and uses the gitfile mechanism to point at it. * jl/submodule-rm: submodule: teach rm to remove submodules unless they contain a git directory
2012-09-29submodule: teach rm to remove submodules unless they contain a git directoryLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-15/+110
Currently using "git rm" on a submodule - populated or not - fails with this error: fatal: git rm: '<submodule path>': Is a directory This made sense in the past as there was no way to remove a submodule without possibly removing unpushed parts of the submodule's history contained in its .git directory too, so erroring out here protected the user from possible loss of data. But submodules cloned with a recent git version do not contain the .git directory anymore, they use a gitfile to point to their git directory which is safely stored inside the superproject's .git directory. The work tree of these submodules can safely be removed without losing history, so let's teach git to do so. Using rm on an unpopulated submodule now removes the empty directory from the work tree and the gitlink from the index. If the submodule's directory is missing from the work tree, it will still be removed from the index. Using rm on a populated submodule using a gitfile will apply the usual checks for work tree modification adapted to submodules (unless forced). For a submodule that means that the HEAD is the same as recorded in the index, no tracked files are modified and no untracked files that aren't ignored are present in the submodules work tree (ignored files are deemed expendable and won't stop a submodule's work tree from being removed). That logic has to be applied in all nested submodules too. Using rm on a submodule which has its .git directory inside the work trees top level directory will just error out like it did before to protect the repository, even when forced. In the future git could either provide a message informing the user to convert the submodule to use a gitfile or even attempt to do the conversion itself, but that is not part of this change.

2010-02-22Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectoryLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+272
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>
