2012-10-18status: add --long output format optionLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+23
You can currently set the output format to --short or --porcelain. There is no --long, because we default to it already. However, you may want to override an alias that uses "--short" to get back to the default. This requires a little bit of refactoring, because currently we use STATUS_FORMAT_LONG internally to mean the same as "the user did not specify anything". By expanding the enum to include STATUS_FORMAT_NONE, we can distinguish between the implicit and explicit cases. This effects these conditions: 1. The user has asked for NUL termination. With NONE, we currently default to turning on the porcelain mode. With an explicit --long, we would in theory use NUL termination with the long mode, but it does not support it. So we can just complain and die. 2. When an output format is given to "git commit", we default to "--dry-run". This behavior would now kick in when "--long" is given, too.

2012-10-18branch: skip commit checks when deleting symref branchesLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+8
Before a branch is deleted, we check that it points to a valid commit. With -d we also check that the commit is a merged; this check is not done with -D. The reason for that is that commits pointed to by branches should never go missing; if they do then something broke and it's better to stop instead of adding to the mess. And a non-merged commit may contain changes that are worth preserving, so we require the stronger option -D instead of -d to get rid of them. If a branch consists of a symref, these concerns don't apply. Deleting such a branch can't make a commit become unreferenced, so we don't need to check if it is merged, or even if it is actually a valid commit. Skip them in that case. This allows us to delete dangling symref branches. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-10-12grep: stop looking at random places for .gitattributesLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-13/+18
grep searches for .gitattributes using "name" field in struct grep_source but that field is not real on-disk path name. For example, "grep pattern rev" fills the field with "rev:path", and Git looks for .gitattributes in the (non-existent but exploitable) path "rev:path" instead of "path". This patch passes real paths down to grep_source_load_driver() when: - grep on work tree - grep on the index - grep a commit (or a tag if it points to a commit) so that these cases look up .gitattributes at proper paths. .gitattributes lookup is disabled in all other cases.

2012-10-09builtin/grep.c: make configuration callback more reusableLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-25/+79
The grep_config() function takes one instance of grep_opt as its callback parameter, and populates it by running git_config(). This has three practical implications: - You have to have an instance of grep_opt already when you call the configuration, but that is not necessarily always true. You may be trying to initialize the grep_filter member of rev_info, but are not ready to call init_revisions() on it yet. - It is not easy to enhance grep_config() in such a way to make it cascade to other callback functions to grab other variables in one call of git_config(); grep_config() can be cascaded into from other callbacks, but it has to be at the leaf level of a cascade. - If you ever need to use more than one instance of grep_opt, you will have to open and read the configuration file(s) every time you initialize them. Rearrange the configuration mechanism and model it after how diff configuration variables are handled. An early call to git_config() reads and remembers the values taken from the configuration in the default "template", and a separate call to grep_init() uses this template to instantiate a grep_opt. The next step will be to move some of this out of this file so that the other user of the grep machinery (i.e. "log") can use it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-10-04peel_ref: do not return a null sha1Libravatar Jeff King3-22/+4
The idea of the peel_ref function is to dereference tag objects recursively until we hit a non-tag, and return the sha1. Conceptually, it should return 0 if it is successful (and fill in the sha1), or -1 if there was nothing to peel. However, the current behavior is much more confusing. For a regular loose ref, the behavior is as described above. But there is an optimization to reuse the peeled-ref value for a ref that came from a packed-refs file. If we have such a ref, we return its peeled value, even if that peeled value is null (indicating that we know the ref definitely does _not_ peel). It might seem like such information is useful to the caller, who would then know not to bother loading and trying to peel the object. Except that they should not bother loading and trying to peel the object _anyway_, because that fallback is already handled by peel_ref. In other words, the whole point of calling this function is that it handles those details internally, and you either get a sha1, or you know that it is not peel-able. This patch catches the null sha1 case internally and converts it into a -1 return value (i.e., there is nothing to peel). This simplifies callers, which do not need to bother checking themselves. Two callers are worth noting: - in pack-objects, a comment indicates that there is a difference between non-peelable tags and unannotated tags. But that is not the case (before or after this patch). Whether you get a null sha1 has to do with internal details of how peel_ref operated. - in show-ref, if peel_ref returns a failure, the caller tries to decide whether to try peeling manually based on whether the REF_ISPACKED flag is set. But this doesn't make any sense. If the flag is set, that does not necessarily mean the ref came from a packed-refs file with the "peeled" extension. But it doesn't matter, because even if it didn't, there's no point in trying to peel it ourselves, as peel_ref would already have done so. In other words, the fallback peeling is guaranteed to fail.

2012-09-30mailinfo: don't require "text" mime type for attachmentsLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-11/+0
Currently "git am" does insane things if the mbox it is given contains attachments with a MIME type that aren't "text/*". In particular, it will still decode them, and pass them "one line at a time" to the mail body filter, but because it has determined that they aren't text (without actually looking at the contents, just at the mime type) the "line" will be the encoding line (eg 'base64') rather than a line of *content*. Which then will cause the text filtering to fail, because we won't correctly notice when the attachment text switches from the commit message to the actual patch. Resulting in a patch failure, even if patch may be a perfectly well-formed attachment, it's just that the message type may be (for example) "application/octet-stream" instead of "text/plain". Just remove all the bogus games with the message_type. The only difference that code creates is how the data is passed to the filter function (chunked per-pred-code line or per post-decode line), and that difference is *wrong*, since chunking things per pre-decode line can never be a sensible operation, and cannot possibly matter for binary data anyway. This code goes all the way back to March of 2007, in commit 87ab79923463 ("builtin-mailinfo.c infrastrcture changes"), and apparently Don used to pass random mbox contents to git. However, the pre-decode vs post-decode logic really shouldn't matter even for that case, and more importantly, "I fed git am crap" is not a valid reason to break *real* patch attachments. If somebody really cares, and determines that some attachment is binary data (by looking at the data, not the MIME-type), the whole attachment should be dismissed, rather than fed in random-sized chunks to "handle_filter()".

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.

2012-09-21receive-pack: send pack-processing stderr over sidebandLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+24
Receive-pack invokes either unpack-objects or index-pack to handle the incoming pack. However, we do not redirect the stderr of the sub-processes at all, so it is never seen by the client. From the initial thread adding sideband support, which is here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/139471 it is clear that some messages are specifically kept off the sideband (with the assumption that they are of interest only to an administrator, not the client). The stderr of the subprocesses is mentioned in the thread, but it's unclear if they are included in that group, or were simply forgotten. However, there are a few good reasons to show them to the client: 1. In many cases, they are directly about the incoming packfile (e.g., fsck warnings with --strict, corruption in the packfile, etc). Without these messages, the client just gets "unpacker error" with no extra useful diagnosis. 2. No matter what the cause, we are probably better off showing the errors to the client. If the client and the server admin are not the same entity, it is probably much easier for the client to cut-and-paste the errors they see than for the admin to try to dig them out of a log and correlate them with a particular session. 3. Users of the ssh transport typically already see these stderr messages, as the remote's stderr is copied literally by ssh. This brings other transports (http, and push-over-git if you are crazy enough to enable it) more in line with ssh. As a bonus for ssh users, because the messages are now fed through the sideband and printed by the local git, they will have "remote:" prepended and be properly interleaved with any local output to stderr.
