2013-11-07Merge branch 'jk/subtree-install-fix' into maintLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+6
We did not generate HTML version of documentation to "git subtree" in contrib/. * jk/subtree-install-fix: subtree: add makefile target for html docs
2013-10-30subtree: add makefile target for html docsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+6
The Makefile currently builds the roff manpage, but not the html form. As some people may prefer the latter, let's make it an option to build that, too. We also wire it into "make doc" so that it is built by default. This patch does not build or install it as part of "install-doc"; that would require extra infrastructure to handle installing the html as we do in git's regular Documentation/ tree. That can come later if somebody is interested. Tested-by: Sebastian Schuberth <sschuberth@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-09-24git-remote-mediawiki: bugfix for pages w/ >500 revisionsLibravatar Benoit Person2-2/+35
Mediawiki introduces a new API for queries w/ more than 500 results in version 1.21. That change triggered an infinite loop while cloning a mediawiki with such a page. The latest API renamed and moved the "continuing" information in the response, necessary to build the next query. The code failed to retrieve that information but still detected that it was in a "continuing query". As a result, it launched the same query over and over again. If a "continuing" information is detected in the response (old or new), the next query is updated accordingly. If not, we quit assuming it's not a continuing query.

2013-08-22contrib/git-prompt.sh: handle missing 'printf -v' more gracefullyLibravatar Brandon Casey1-1/+5
Old Bash (3.0) which is distributed with RHEL 4.X and other ancient platforms that are still in wide use, do not have a printf that supports -v. Neither does Zsh (which is already handled in the code). As suggested by Junio, let's test whether printf supports the -v option and store the result. Then later, we can use it to determine whether 'printf -v' can be used, or whether printf must be called in a subshell.

Cygwin port added a "not quite correct but a lot faster and good enough for many lstat() calls that are only used to see if the working tree entity matches the index entry" lstat() emulation some time ago, and it started biting us in places. This removes it and uses the standard lstat() that comes with Cygwin. Recent topic that uses lstat on packed-refs file is broken when this cheating lstat is used, and this is a simplest fix that is also the cleanest direction to go in the long run. * rj/cygwin-clarify-use-of-cheating-lstat: cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation

`echo -n` is non-portable. The POSIX specification says: Conforming applications that wish to do prompting without <newline> characters or that could possibly be expecting to echo a -n, should use the printf utility derived from the Ninth Edition system.

2013-07-21contrib: add git-contacts helperLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-0/+127
This script lists people that might be interested in a patch by going back through the history for each patch hunk, and finding people that reviewed, acknowledged, signed, authored, or were Cc:'d on the code the patch is modifying. It does this by running git-blame incrementally on each hunk and then parsing the commit message. After gathering all participants, it determines each person's relevance by considering how many commits mentioned that person compared with the total number of commits under consideration. The final output consists only of participants who pass a minimum threshold of participation. Several conditions controlling a person's significance are currently hard-coded, such as minimum participation level, blame date-limiting, and -C level for detecting moved and copied lines. In the future, these conditions may become configurable. For example: % git contacts 0001-remote-hg-trivial-cleanups.patch Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com> Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Max Horn <max@quendi.de> Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Thus, it can be invoked as git-send-email's --cc-cmd option, among other possible uses.

Add a command to allow previewing the contents locally before pushing it out, when working with a MediaWiki remote. I personally do not think this belongs to Git. If you are working on a set of AsciiDoc source files, you sure do want to locally format to preview what you will be pushing out, and if you are working on a set of C or Java source files, you do want to test it before pushing it out, too. That kind of thing belongs to your build script, not to your SCM.

2013-07-18cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementationLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-1/+0
Commit adbc0b6b ("cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat", 30-09-2008) added a Win32 specific implementation of the stat functions. In order to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this implementation may fall back on the standard cygwin l/stat() functions. Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the first call(s) to l/stat) based on the state of some config variables. Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8, 79748439, 452993c2, 085479e7, b8a97333, 924aaf3e, 05bab3ea and 0117c2f0. In order to avoid further problems, such as the issue raised by the new reference handling API, remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation.

2013-07-15git-multimail: an improved replacement for post-receive-emailLibravatar Michael Haggerty6-0/+3398
Add git-multimail, a tool for generating notification emails for pushes to a Git repository. It is largely plug-in compatible with post-receive-email, and is proposed to eventually replace that script. The advantages of git-multimail relative to post-receive-email are described in README.migrate-from-post-receive-email. git-multimail is organized in a directory contrib/hooks/multimail. The directory contains: * git_multimail.py -- a Python module that can generate notification emails for pushes to a Git repository. The file can be used directly as a post-receive script (configured via git config settings), or it can be imported as a Python module and configured via arbitrary Python code. * README -- user-level documentation for configuring and using git-multimail. * post-receive -- an example of building a post-receive script that imports git_multimail.py as a Python module, with an example of how to change the email templates. * README.migrate-from-post-receive-email -- documentation targeted at current users of post-receive-email, explaining the differences and how to migrate a post-receive-email configuration to git-multimail. * migrate-mailhook-config -- a script that can migrate a user's post-receive-email configuration options to the equivalent git-multimail options. * README.Git -- a short explanation of the relationship between git-multimail and the rest of the Git project, plus the exact date and revision when this version was taken from the upstream project. All but the last file are taken verbatim from the upstream git-multimail project. git-multimail is originally derived from post-receive-email and also incorporates suggestions from the mailing list as well as patches by the people listed below.

In the current state, a user of git-remote-mediawiki can edit the markup text locally, but has to push to the remote wiki to see how the page is rendererd. Add a new 'git mw preview' command that allows rendering the markup text on the remote wiki without actually pushing any change on the wiki. This uses Mediawiki's API to render the markup and inserts it in an actual HTML page from the wiki so that CSS can be rendered properly. Most links should work when the page exists on the remote.

We would want to allow the user to preview what he has edited locally before pushing it out (and thus creating a non-removable revision in the mediawiki's history). This patch introduces a new perl package in which we will be able to share code between that new tool and the remote helper: git-remote-mediawiki.perl. A perl package offers the best way to handle such case: Each script can select what should be imported in its namespace. The package namespacing limits the use of side effects in the shared code. An alternate solution is to concatenate a "toolset" file with each *.perl when 'make'-ing the project. In that scheme, everything is imported in the script's namespace. Plus, files should be renamed in order to chain to Git's toplevel makefile. Hence, this solution is not acceptable.

2013-06-24bash prompt: mention that PROMPT_COMMAND mode is fasterLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-5/+5
__git_ps1() is usually added to the prompt inside a command substitution, imposing the overhead of fork()ing a subshell. Using __git_ps1() for $PROMPT_COMMAND is slightly faster, because it avoids that command substitution. Mention this in the comments about setting up the git prompt. The whole series speeds up the bash prompt on Windows/MSysGit considerably. Here are some timing results in three scenarios, each repeated 10 times: At the top of the work tree, before: $ time for i in {0..9} ; do prompt="$(__git_ps1)" ; done real 0m1.716s user 0m0.301s sys 0m0.772s After: real 0m0.687s user 0m0.075s sys 0m0.396s After, from $PROMPT_COMMAND: $ time for i in {0..9} ; do __git_ps1 '\h:\w' '$ ' ; done real 0m0.546s user 0m0.075s sys 0m0.181s At the top of the work tree, detached head, before: real 0m2.574s user 0m0.376s sys 0m1.207s After: real 0m1.139s user 0m0.151s sys 0m0.500s After, from $PROMPT_COMMAND: real 0m1.030s user 0m0.245s sys 0m0.336s In a subdirectory, during rebase, stash status indicator enabled, before: real 0m3.557s user 0m0.495s sys 0m1.767s After: real 0m0.717s user 0m0.120s sys 0m0.300s After, from $PROMPT_COMMAND: real 0m0.577s user 0m0.047s sys 0m0.258s On Linux the speedup ratio is comparable to Windows, but overall it was about an order of magnitude faster to begin with.
