2016-09-13diff: always try to set up the repositoryLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
If we see an explicit "--no-index", we do not bother calling setup_git_directory_gently() at all. This means that we may miss out on reading repo-specific config. It's arguable whether this is correct or not. If we were designing from scratch, making "git diff --no-index" completely ignore the repository makes some sense. But we are nowhere near scratch, so let's look at the existing behavior: 1. If you're in the top-level of a repository and run an explicit "diff --no-index", the config subsystem falls back to reading ".git/config", and we will respect repo config. 2. If you're in a subdirectory of a repository, then we still try to read ".git/config", but it generally doesn't exist. So "diff --no-index" there does not respect repo config. 3. If you have $GIT_DIR set in the environment, we read and respect $GIT_DIR/config, 4. If you run "git diff /tmp/foo /tmp/bar" to get an implicit no-index, we _do_ run the repository setup, and set $GIT_DIR (or respect an existing $GIT_DIR variable). We find the repo config no matter where we started, and respect it. So we already respect the repository config in a number of common cases, and case (2) is the only one that does not. And at least one of our tests, t4034, depends on case (1) behaving as it does now (though it is just incidental, not an explicit test for this behavior). So let's bring case (2) in line with the others by always running the repository setup, even with an explicit "--no-index". We shouldn't need to change anything else, as the implicit case already handles the prefix. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-09-13diff: skip implicit no-index check when given --no-indexLibravatar Jeff King1-12/+13
We can invoke no-index mode in two ways: by an explicit request from the user, or implicitly by noticing that we have two paths, and at least one is outside the repository. If the user already told us --no-index, there is no need for us to do the implicit test at all. However, we currently do, and downgrade our "explicit" to DIFF_NO_INDEX_IMPLICIT. This doesn't have any user-visible behavior, though it's not immediately obvious why. We only trigger the implicit check when we have exactly two non-option arguments. And the only code that cares about implicit versus explicit is an error message that we show when we _don't_ have two non-option arguments. However, it's worth fixing anyway. Besides being slightly more efficient, it makes the code easier to follow, which will help when we modify it in future patches.

2016-09-13hash-object: always try to set up the git repositoryLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+8
When "hash-object" is run without "-w", we don't need to be in a git repository at all; we can just hash the object and write its sha1 to stdout. However, if we _are_ in a git repository, we would want to know that so we can follow the normal rules for respecting config, .gitattributes, etc. This happens to work at the top-level of a git repository because we blindly read ".git/config", but as the included test shows, it does not work when you are in a subdirectory. The solution is to just do a "gentle" setup in this case. We already take care to use prefix_filename() on any filename arguments we get (to handle the "-w" case), so we don't need to do anything extra to handle the side effects of repo setup. An alternative would be to specify RUN_SETUP_GENTLY for this command in git.c, and then die if "-w" is set but we are not in a repository. However, the error messages generated at the time of setup_git_directory() are more detailed, so it's better to find out which mode we are in, and then call the appropriate function.

2016-05-31Merge branch 'js/name-rev-use-oldest-ref' into maintLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+13
"git describe --contains" often made a hard-to-justify choice of tag to give name to a given commit, because it tried to come up with a name with smallest number of hops from a tag, causing an old commit whose close descendant that is recently tagged were not described with respect to an old tag but with a newer tag. It did not help that its computation of "hop" count was further tweaked to penalize being on a side branch of a merge. The logic has been updated to favor using the tag with the oldest tagger date, which is a lot easier to explain to the end users: "We describe a commit in terms of the (chronologically) oldest tag that contains the commit." * js/name-rev-use-oldest-ref: name-rev: include taggerdate in considering the best name

2016-05-13diff: run arguments through precompose_argvLibravatar Alexander Rinass4-0/+5
When running diff commands, a pathspec containing decomposed unicode code points is not converted to precomposed unicode form under Mac OS X, but we normalize the paths in the index and the history to precomposed form on that platform. As a result, the pathspec would not match and no diff is shown. Unlike many builtin commands, the "diff" family of commands do not use parse_options(), which is how other builtin commands indirectly call precompose_argv() to normalize argv[] into precomposed form on Mac OSX. Teach these commands to call precompose_argv() themselves. Note that precomopose_argv() normalizes not just paths but all command line arguments, so things like "git diff -G $string" when $string has the decomposed form would first be normalized into the precomposed form and would stop hitting the same string in the decomposed form in the diff output with this change. It is not a problem per-se, as "log" family of commands already use parse_options() and call precompose_argv()--we can think of this change as making the "diff" family of commands behave in a similar way as the commands in the "log" family.

We most likely want the oldest tag that contained the commit to be reported.

However, "we got a message with -m, even though an empty one, so we shouldn't be launching an editor" was not the only breakage. * "git commit --amend -m '' --allow-empty", even though it looks strange, is a valid request to amend the commit to have no message at all.

2016-04-04branch: fix shortening of non-remote symrefsLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+12
Commit aedcb7d (branch.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs, 2015-09-23) adjusted the symref-printing code to look like this: if (item->symref) { skip_prefix(item->symref, "refs/remotes/", &desc); strbuf_addf(&out, " -> %s", desc); } This has three bugs in it: 1. It always skips past "refs/remotes/", instead of skipping past the prefix associated with the branch we are showing (so commonly we see "refs/remotes/" for the refs/remotes/origin/HEAD symref, but the previous code would skip "refs/heads/" when showing a symref it found in refs/heads/. 2. If skip_prefix() does not match, it leaves "desc" untouched, and we show whatever happened to be in it (which is the refname from a call to skip_prefix() earlier in the function). 3. If we do match with skip_prefix(), we stomp on the "desc" variable, which is later passed to add_verbose_info(). We probably want to retain the original refname there (though it likely doesn't matter in practice, since after all, one points to the other). The fix to match the original code is fairly easy: record the prefix to strip based on item->kind, and use it here. However, since we already have a local variable named "prefix", let's give the two prefixes verbose names so we don't confuse them.
