2017-08-23treewide: correct several "up-to-date" to "up to date"Libravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+1
Follow the Oxford style, which says to use "up-to-date" before the noun, but "up to date" after it. Don't change plumbing (specifically send-pack.c, but transport.c (git push) also has the same string). This was produced by grepping for "up-to-date" and "up to date". It turned out we only had to edit in one direction, removing the hyphens. Fix a typo in Documentation/git-diff-index.txt while we're there.

2017-06-27subtree: honour USE_ASCIIDOCTOR when setLibravatar A. Wilcox1-7/+19
Defining USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=1 when building Git uses asciidoctor over asciidoc when generating DocBook and man page documentation. However, the contrib/subtree module does not presently honour that flag. This causes a build failure when asciidoc is not present on the build system. Instead, adapt the main Documentation/Makefile logic to use asciidoctor when requested. Signed-off-by: A. Wilcox <AWilcox@Wilcox-Tech.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-07-26subtree: fix "git subtree split --rejoin"Libravatar David Aguilar2-0/+17
"git merge" in v2.9 prevents merging unrelated histories. "git subtree split --rejoin" creates unrelated histories when creating a split repo from a raw sub-directory that did not originate from an invocation of "git subtree add". Restore the original behavior by passing --allow-unrelated-histories when merging subtrees. This ensures that the synthetic history created by "git subtree split" can be merged. Add a test to ensure that this feature works as advertised.

'git subtree split' can incorrectly skip a merge even when both parents act on the subtree, provided the merge results in a tree identical to one of the parents.

If a subtree was added using a tag ref, the tag ref is stored in the subtree commit message instead of the underlying commit's ref. To split or push subsequent changes to the subtree, the subtree command needs to unwrap the tag ref. This patch makes it do so.

2015-06-22contrib/subtree: fix broken &&-chains and revealed test errorLibravatar Charles Bailey1-4/+4
This fixes two instances where a &&-chain was broken in the subtree tests and fixes a test error that was revealed because of this. Many tests in t7900-subtree.sh make a commit and then use 'undo' to reset the state for the next test. In the 'check hash of split' test, an 'undo' was being invoked after a 'subtree split' even though the particular invocation of 'subtree split' did not actually make a commit. The subsequent check_equal was failing, but this failure was masked by that broken &&-chain. Removing this undo causes the failing check_equal to succeed but breaks the a check_equal later on in the same test. It turns out that an earlier test ('check if --message for merge works with squash too') makes a commit but doesn't 'undo' to the state expected by the remaining tests. None of the intervening tests cared enough about the state of the test repo to fail and the spurious 'undo' in 'check hash of split' restored the expected state for any remaining test that might care. Adding the missing 'undo' to 'check if --message for merge works with squash too' and removing the spurious one from 'check hash of split' fixes all tests once the &&-chains are completed.

2015-05-08contrib/subtree: portability fix for string printingLibravatar Danny Lin1-3/+10
'echo -n' is not portable, but this script used it as a way to give a string followed by a carriage return for progress messages. Introduce a new helper shell function "progress" and use printf as a more portable way to do this. As a side effect, this makes it unnecessary to have a raw CR in our source, which can be munged in some shells. For example, MsysGit trims CR before executing a shell script file in order to make it work right on Windows even if it uses CRLF as linefeeds. While at it, replace "echo" using printf in debug() and say() to eliminate the temptation of reintroducing the same bug.

cmd_add_commit() is passed FETCH_HEAD by cmd_add_repository, which is then rev-parsed into an object name. However, if the user is fetching a tag rather than a branch HEAD, such as by executing: $ git subtree add -P oldGit https://github.com/git/git.git tags/v1.8.0 the object name refers to a tag and is never peeled, and the git commit-tree call (line 561) slaps us in the face because it doesn't peel tags to commits. Because peeling a committish doesn't do anything if it's already a commit, fix by peeling the object name before assigning it to $rev using peel_committish() from git:git-sh-setup.sh, a pre-existing dependency of git-subtree.

The backquoted form is the traditional method for command substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the simplest uses become complicated quickly.
