2008-02-05Make error messages from cherry-pick/revert more sensibleLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
The original "rewrite in C" did somewhat a sloppy job while stealing code from git-write-tree. The caller pretends as if the write_tree() function would return an error code and being able to issue a sensible error message itself, but write_tree() function just calls die() and never returns an error. Worse yet, the function claims that it was running git-write-tree (which is no longer true after cherry-pick stole it).

2007-09-26Small cache_tree_write refactor.Libravatar Pierre Habouzit1-1/+1
This function cannot fail, make it void. Also make write_one act on a const char* instead of a char*. Signed-off-by: Pierre Habouzit <madcoder@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2006-05-01write-tree: --prefix=<path>Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
The "bind" commit can express an aggregation of multiple projects into a single commit. In such an organization, there would be one project, root of whose tree object is at the same level of the root of the aggregated projects, and other projects have their toplevel in separate subdirectories. Let's call that root level project the "primary project", and call other ones just "subprojects". You would first read-tree the primary project, and then graft the subprojects under their appropriate location using read-tree --prefix=<subdir>/ repeatedly. To write out a tree object from such an index for a subproject, write-tree --prefix=<subdir>/ is used. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-04-27cache_tree_update: give an option to update cache-tree only.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
When the extra "dryrun" parameter is true, cache_tree_update() recomputes the invalid entry but does not actually creates new tree object. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-04-27read-tree: teach 1-way merege and plain read to prime cache-tree.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
This teaches read-tree to fully populate valid cache-tree when reading a tree from scratch, or reading a single tree into an existing index, reusing only the cached stat information (i.e. one-way merge). We have already taught update-index about cache-tree, so "git checkout" followed by updates to a few path followed by a "git commit" would become very efficient.

2006-04-24index: make the index file format extensible.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+5
... and move the cache-tree data into it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-04-23Add cache-tree.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+29
The cache_tree data structure is to cache tree object names that would result from the current index file. The idea is to have an optional file to record each tree object name that corresponds to a directory path in the cache when we run write_cache(), and read it back when we run read_cache(). During various index manupulations, we selectively invalidate the parts so that the next write-tree can bypass regenerating tree objects for unchanged parts of the directory hierarchy. We could perhaps make the cache-tree data an optional part of the index file, but that would involve the index format updates, so unless we need it for performance reasons, the current plan is to use a separate file, $GIT_DIR/index.aux to store this information and link it with the index file with the checksum that is already used for index file integrity check.
