2011-09-28git-remote-mediawiki: allow a domain to be set for authenticationLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+3
When the wiki uses e.g. LDAP for authentication, the web interface shows a popup to allow the user to chose an authentication domain, and we need to use lgdomain in the API at login time. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-09-27git-remote-mediawiki: set 'basetimestamp' to let the wiki handle conflictsLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-6/+37
We already have a check that no new revisions are on the wiki at the beginning of the push, but this didn't handle concurrent accesses to the wiki. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-09-27git-remote-mediawiki: trivial fixesLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+1
Fix a whitespace issue (no space before :) and remove unused %status in mw_push. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-09-01git-remote-mediawiki: allow push to set MediaWiki metadataLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+33
Push can not set the commit note "mediawiki_revision:" and update the remote reference. This avoids having to "git pull --rebase" after each push, and is probably more natural. Make it the default, but let it be configurable with mediawiki.dumbPush or remote.<remotename>.dumbPush.

2011-09-01Add a remote helper to interact with mediawiki (fetch & push)Libravatar Jeremie Nikaes2-0/+763
Implement a gate between git and mediawiki, allowing git users to push and pull objects from mediawiki just as one would do with a classic git repository thanks to remote-helpers. The following packages need to be installed (available on common repositories): libmediawiki-api-perl libdatetime-format-iso8601-perl Use remote helpers in order to be as transparent as possible to the git user. Download Mediawiki revisions through the Mediawiki API and then fast-import into git. Mediawiki revision number and git commits are linked thanks to notes bound to commits. The import part is done on a refs/mediawiki/<remote> branch before coming to refs/remote/origin/master (Huge thanks to Jonathan Nieder for his help) We use UTF-8 everywhere: use encoding 'utf8'; does most of the job, but we also read the output of Git commands in UTF-8 with the small helper run_git, and write to the console (STDERR) in UTF-8. This allows a seamless use of non-ascii characters in page titles, but hasn't been tested on non-UTF-8 systems. In particular, UTF-8 encoding for filenames could raise problems if different file systems handle UTF-8 filenames differently. A uri_escape of mediawiki filenames could be imaginable, and is still to be discussed further. Partial cloning is supported using one of: git clone -c remote.origin.pages='A_Page Another_Page' mediawiki::http://wikiurl git clone -c remote.origin.categories='Some_Category' mediawiki::http://wikiurl git clone -c remote.origin.shallow='True' mediawiki::http://wikiurl Thanks to notes metadata, it is possible to compare remote and local last mediawiki revision to warn non-fast forward pushes and "everything up-to-date" case. When allowed, push looks for each commit between remotes/origin/master and HEAD, catches every blob related to these commit and push them in chronological order. To do so, it uses git rev-list --children HEAD and travels the tree from remotes/origin/master to HEAD through children. In other words: * Shortest path from remotes/origin/master to HEAD * For each commit encountered, push blobs related to this commit Signed-off-by: Jérémie Nikaes <jeremie.nikaes@ensimag.imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Arnaud Lacurie <arnaud.lacurie@ensimag.imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Claire Fousse <claire.fousse@ensimag.imag.fr> Signed-off-by: David Amouyal <david.amouyal@ensimag.imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <matthieu.moy@grenoble-inp.fr> Signed-off-by: Sylvain Boulmé <sylvain.boulme@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
