2016-06-13fetch, upload-pack: --deepen=N extends shallow boundary by N commitsLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2-1/+17
In git-fetch, --depth argument is always relative with the latest remote refs. This makes it a bit difficult to cover this use case, where the user wants to make the shallow history, say 3 levels deeper. It would work if remote refs have not moved yet, but nobody can guarantee that, especially when that use case is performed a couple months after the last clone or "git fetch --depth". Also, modifying shallow boundary using --depth does not work well with clones created by --since or --not. This patch fixes that. A new argument --deepen=<N> will add <N> more (*) parent commits to the current history regardless of where remote refs are. Have/Want negotiation is still respected. So if remote refs move, the server will send two chunks: one between "have" and "want" and another to extend shallow history. In theory, the client could send no "want"s in order to get the second chunk only. But the protocol does not allow that. Either you send no want lines, which means ls-remote; or you have to send at least one want line that carries deep-relative to the server.. The main work was done by Dongcan Jiang. I fixed it up here and there. And of course all the bugs belong to me. (*) We could even support --deepen=<N> where <N> is negative. In that case we can cut some history from the shallow clone. This operation (and --depth=<shorter depth>) does not require interaction with remote side (and more complicated to implement as a result).

2016-02-01apply, ls-files: simplify "-z" parsingLibravatar Jeff King2-24/+6
As a short option, we cannot handle negation. Thus a callback handling "unset" is overkill, and we can just use OPT_SET_INT instead to handle setting the option. Anybody who adds "--nul" synonym to this later would need to be careful not to break "--no-nul", which should mean that lines are terminated with LF at the end.

2016-02-01checkout-index: disallow "--no-stage" optionLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
We do not really expect people to use "--no-stage", but if they do, git currently segfaults. We could instead have it undo the effects of a previous "--stage", but this gets tricky around the "to_tempfile" flag. We cannot simply reset it to 0, because we don't know if it was set by a previous "--stage=all" or an explicit "--temp" option. We could solve this by setting a flag and resolving to_tempfile later, but it's not worth the effort. Nobody actually wants to use "--no-stage"; we are just trying to fix a potential segfault here. While we're in the area, let's improve the user-facing messages for this option. The error string should be translatable, and we should give some hint in the "-h" output about what can go in the argument field.

2016-02-01checkout-index: handle "--no-index" optionLibravatar Jeff King1-24/+10
The parsing of "--index" is done in a callback, but it does not handle an "unset" option. We don't necessarily expect anyone to use this, but the current behavior is to treat it exactly like "--index", which would probably be surprising. Instead, let's just turn it into an OPT_BOOL, and handle it after we're done parsing. This makes "--no-index" just work (it cancels a previous "--index"). As a bonus, this makes the logic easier to follow. The old code opened the index during the option parsing, leaving the reader to wonder if there was some timing issue (there isn't; none of the other options care that we've opened it). And then if we found that "--prefix" had been given, we had to rollback the index. Now we can simply avoid opening it in the first place. Note that it might make more sense for checkout-index to complain when "--index --prefix=foo" is given (rather than silently ignoring "--index"), but since it has been that way since 415e96c ([PATCH] Implement git-checkout-cache -u to update stat information in the cache., 2005-05-15), it's safer to leave it as-is.

2016-02-01checkout-index: handle "--no-prefix" optionLibravatar Jeff King1-12/+6
We use a custom callback to parse "--prefix", but it does not handle the "unset" case. As a result, passing "--no-prefix" will cause a segfault. We can fix this by switching it to an OPT_STRING, which makes "--no-prefix" counteract a previous "--prefix". Note that this assigns NULL, so we bump our default-case initialization to lower in the main function. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-02-01give "nbuf" strbuf a more meaningful nameLibravatar Jeff King5-29/+30
It's a common pattern in our code to read paths from stdin, separated either by newlines or NULs, and unquote as necessary. In each of these five cases we use "nbuf" to temporarily store the unquoted value. Let's give it the more meaningful name "unquoted", which makes it easier to understand the purpose of the variable. While we're at it, let's also static-initialize all of our strbufs. It's not wrong to call strbuf_init, but it increases the cognitive load on the reader, who might wonder "do we sometimes avoid initializing them? why?".

2016-01-27config: add core.untrackedCacheLibravatar Christian Couder1-11/+24
When we know that mtime on directory as given by the environment is usable for the purpose of untracked cache, we may want the untracked cache to be always used without any mtime test or kernel name check being performed. Also when we know that mtime is not usable for the purpose of untracked cache, for example because the repo is shared over a network file system, we may want the untracked-cache to be automatically removed from the index. Allow the user to express such preference by setting the 'core.untrackedCache' configuration variable, which can take 'keep', 'false', or 'true' and default to 'keep'. When read_index_from() is called, it now adds or removes the untracked cache in the index to respect the value of this variable. So it does nothing if the value is `keep` or if the variable is unset; it adds the untracked cache if the value is `true`; and it removes the cache if the value is `false`. `git update-index --[no-|force-]untracked-cache` still adds the untracked cache to, or removes it, from the index, but this shows a warning if it goes against the value of core.untrackedCache, because the next time the index is read the untracked cache will be added or removed if the configuration is set to do so. Also `--untracked-cache` used to check that the underlying operating system and file system change `st_mtime` field of a directory if files are added or deleted in that directory. But because those tests take a long time, `--untracked-cache` no longer performs them. Instead, there is now `--test-untracked-cache` to perform the tests. This change makes `--untracked-cache` the same as `--force-untracked-cache`. This last change is backward incompatible and should be mentioned in the release notes.

2016-01-26tag: do not show ambiguous tag names as "tags/foo"Libravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Since b7cc53e9 (tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs, 2015-07-11), git-tag has started showing tags with ambiguous names (i.e., when both "heads/foo" and "tags/foo" exists) as "tags/foo" instead of just "foo". This is both: - pointless; the output of "git tag" includes only refs/tags, so we know that "foo" means the one in "refs/tags". and - ambiguous; in the original output, we know that the line "foo" means that "refs/tags/foo" exists. In the new output, it is unclear whether we mean "refs/tags/foo" or "refs/tags/tags/foo". The reason this happens is that commit b7cc53e9 switched git-tag to use ref-filter's "%(refname:short)" output formatting, which was adapted from for-each-ref. This more general code does not know that we care only about tags, and uses shorten_unambiguous_ref to get the short-name. We need to tell it that we care only about "refs/tags/", and it should shorten with respect to that value. In theory, the ref-filter code could figure this out by us passing FILTER_REFS_TAGS. But there are two complications there: 1. The handling of refname:short is deep in formatting code that does not even have our ref_filter struct, let alone the arguments to the filter_ref struct. 2. In git v2.7.0, we expose the formatting language to the user. If we follow this path, it will mean that "%(refname:short)" behaves differently for "tag" versus "for-each-ref" (including "for-each-ref refs/tags/"), which can lead to confusion. Instead, let's add a new modifier to the formatting language, "strip", to remove a specific set of prefix components. This fixes "git tag", and lets users invoke the same behavior from their own custom formats (for "tag" or "for-each-ref") while leaving ":short" with its same consistent meaning in all places. We introduce a test in t7004 for "git tag", which fails without this patch. We also add a similar test in t3203 for "git branch", which does not actually fail. But since it is likely that "branch" will eventually use the same formatting code, the test helps defend against future regressions.

Attempting to flip the untracked-cache feature on for a random index file with cd /random/unrelated/place git --git-dir=/somewhere/else/.git update-index --untracked-cache would not work as you might expect. Because flipping the feature on in the index also records the location of the corresponding working tree (/random/unrelated/place in the above example), when the index is subsequently used to keep track of files in the working tree in /somewhere/else, the feature is disabled.

2016-01-25clean: make is_git_repository a public functionLibravatar Jeff King1-25/+1
We have always had is_git_directory(), for looking at a specific directory to see if it contains a git repo. In 0179ca7 (clean: improve performance when removing lots of directories, 2015-06-15), we added is_git_repository() which checks for a non-bare repository by looking at its ".git" entry. However, the fix in 0179ca7 needs to be applied other places, too. Let's make this new helper globally available. We need to give it a better name, though, to avoid confusion with is_git_directory().

There's not much point in issuing a warning to stderr for an empty author. The user can't do anything about it now, and we are better off to simply include it in the shortlog output as an empty name/email, and let the caller process it however they see fit. Older versions of shortlog differentiated between "author header not present" (which complained) and "author name/email are blank" (which included the empty ident in the output). But since switching to format_commit_message, we complain to stderr about either case (linux.git has a blank author deep in its history which triggers this). We could try to restore the older behavior (complaining only about the missing header), but in retrospect, there's not much point in differentiating these cases. A missing author header is bogus, but as for the "blank" case, the only useful behavior is to add it to the "empty name" collection.
