2013-06-13use logical OR (||) instead of binary OR (|) in logical contextLibravatar René Scharfe3-6/+6
The compiler can short-circuit the evaluation of conditions strung together with logical OR operators instead of computing the resulting bitmask with binary ORs. More importantly, this patch makes the intent of the changed code clearer, because the logical context (as opposed to binary context) becomes immediately obvious. While we're at it, simplify the check for patch->is_rename in builtin/apply.c a bit; it can only be 0 or 1, so we don't need a comparison operator.

2013-06-10make color.ui default to 'auto'Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+1
Most users seem to like having colors enabled, and colors can help beginners to understand the output of some commands (e.g. notice immediately the boundary between commits in the output of "git log"). Many tutorials tell the users to set color.ui=auto as a very first step, which tend to indicate that color.ui=none is not the recommanded value, hence should not be the default. These tutorials would benefit from skipping this step and starting the real Git manipulations earlier. Other beginners do not know about color.ui=auto, and may not discover it by themselves, hence live with black&white outputs while they may have preferred colors. A few people (e.g. color-blind) prefer having no colors, but they can easily set color.ui=never for this (and googling "disable colors in git" already tells them how to do so), but this needs not occupy space in beginner-oriented documentations. A transition period with Git emitting a warning when color.ui is unset would be possible, but the discomfort of having the warning seems superior to the benefit: users may be surprised by the change, but not harmed by it. The default value is changed, and the documentation is reworded to mention "color.ui=false" first, since the primary use of color.ui after this change is to disable colors, not to enable it.

"git fetch origin master" unlike "git fetch origin" or "git fetch" did not update "refs/remotes/origin/master"; this was an early design decision to keep the update of remote tracking branches predictable, but in practice it turns out that people find it more convenient to opportunisticly update them whenever we have a chance, and we have been updating them when we run "git push" which already breaks the original "predictability" anyway.

2013-06-02diff-lib, read-tree, unpack-trees: mark cache_entry array paramters constLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+2
Change the type merge_fn_t to accept the array of cache_entry pointers as const pointers to const pointers. This documents the fact that the merge functions don't modify the cache_entry contents or replace any of the pointers in the array. Only a single cast is necessary in unpack_nondirectories because adding two const modifiers at once is not allowed in C. The cast is safe in that it doesn't mask any modfication; call_unpack_fn only needs the array for reading.

2013-05-29push: make push.default = current use resolved HEADLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-1/+1
With this change, the output of the push (with push.default set to current) changes subtly from: $ git push ... * [new branch] HEAD -> push-current-head to: $ git push ... * [new branch] push-current-head -> push-current-head This patch was written with a different motivation. There is a problem unique to push.default = current: # on branch push-current-head $ git push # on another terminal $ git checkout master # return to the first terminal # the push tried to push master! This happens because the 'git checkout' on the second terminal races with the 'git push' on the first terminal. Although this patch does not solve the core problem (there is still no guarantee that 'git push' on the first terminal will resolve HEAD before 'git checkout' changes HEAD on the second), it works in practice.

Commit b60daf0 (Make git-prune-packed a bit more chatty. - 2007-01-12) changes the meaning of prune_packed_objects()'s argument, from "dry run or not dry run" to a bitmap. It however forgot to update prune_packed_objects() caller in builtin/prune.c to use new DRY_RUN macro. It's fine (for a long time!) but there is a risk that someday someone may change the value of DRY_RUN to something else and builtin/prune.c suddenly breaks. Avoid that possibility. While at there, change "opts == VERBOSE" to "opts & VERBOSE" as there is no obvious reason why we only be chatty when DRY_RUN is not set.

2013-05-28clone: open a shortcut for connectivity checkLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2-12/+34
In order to make sure the cloned repository is good, we run "rev-list --objects --not --all $new_refs" on the repository. This is expensive on large repositories. This patch attempts to mitigate the impact in this special case. In the "good" clone case, we only have one pack. If all of the following are met, we can be sure that all objects reachable from the new refs exist, which is the intention of running "rev-list ...": - all refs point to an object in the pack - there are no dangling pointers in any object in the pack - no objects in the pack point to objects outside the pack The second and third checks can be done with the help of index-pack as a slight variation of --strict check (which introduces a new condition for the shortcut: pack transfer must be used and the number of objects large enough to call index-pack). The first is checked in check_everything_connected after we get an "ok" from index-pack. "index-pack + new checks" is still faster than the current "index-pack + rev-list", which is the whole point of this patch. If any of the conditions fail, we fall back to the good old but expensive "rev-list ..". In that case it's even more expensive because we have to pay for the new checks in index-pack. But that should only happen when the other side is either buggy or malicious.

This shortcut does not apply to unpack-objects code path either because the number of objects must be small in order to trigger that code path.

2013-05-12fetch: opportunistically update tracking refsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+16
When we run a regular "git fetch" without arguments, we update the tracking refs according to the configured refspec. However, when we run "git fetch origin master" (or "git pull origin master"), we do not look at the configured refspecs at all, and just update FETCH_HEAD. We miss an opportunity to update "refs/remotes/origin/master" (or whatever the user has configured). Some users find this confusing, because they would want to do further comparisons against the old state of the remote master, like: $ git pull origin master $ git log HEAD...origin/master In the currnet code, they are comparing against whatever commit happened to be in origin/master from the last time they did a complete "git fetch". This patch will update a ref from the RHS of a configured refspec whenever we happen to be fetching its LHS. That makes the case above work. The downside is that any users who really care about whether and when their tracking branches are updated may be surprised.

2013-05-12refactor "ref->merge" flagLibravatar Jeff King1-22/+35
Each "struct ref" has a boolean flag that is set by the fetch code to determine whether the ref should be marked as "not-for-merge" or not when we write it out to FETCH_HEAD. It would be useful to turn this boolean into a tri-state, with the third state meaning "do not bother writing it out to FETCH_HEAD at all". That would let us add extra refs to the set of refs to be stored (e.g., to store copies of things we fetched) without impacting FETCH_HEAD. This patch turns it into an enum that covers the tri-state case, and hopefully makes the code more explicit and easier to read.
