2012-07-17git-remote-mediawiki: allow page names with a ':'Libravatar Matthieu Moy2-16/+53
Traditionnally, pages named Foo:Bar are page 'Bar' in namespace 'Foo'. However, it is also possible to call a page Foo:Bar if 'Foo' is not a namespace. In this case, the actual name of the page is 'Foo:Bar', in the main namespace. Since we can't tell with only the filename, query the wiki for a namespace 'Foo' in these cases, but deal with the case where no such namespace is found.

The only way to fetch new revisions from a wiki before this patch was to query each page for new revisions. This is good when tracking a small set of pages on a large wiki, but very inefficient when tracking many pages on a wiki with little activity. Implement a new strategy that queries the wiki for its last global revision, queries each new revision, and filter out pages that are not tracked.

2012-07-06git-remote-mediawiki: scripts to install, delete and clear a MediaWikiLibravatar Guillaume Sasdy7-0/+620
install_wiki.sh allows the user to install a MediaWiki instance in a single shell command. Like "git instaweb", it configures and launches lighttpd without requiring root priviledges. To simplify database management, it uses SQLite, which doesn't require a running daemon, and allows reseting the database by simply replacing a single file. This allows install_wiki to also defines a function wiki_reset which clear all content of the previously created wiki, which will be very useful to run several indepenant tests on the same wiki.

2012-06-19completion: respect $GIT_DIRLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-0/+3
The __gitdir() helper function finds out the path of the git repository by running 'git rev-parse --git-dir'. However, it has a shortcut first to avoid the overhead of running a git command in a subshell when the current directory is at the top of the work tree, i.e. when it contains a '.git' subdirectory. If the 'GIT_DIR' environment variable is set then it specifies the path to the git repository, and the autodetection of the '.git' directory is not necessary. However, $GIT_DIR is only taken into acocunt by 'git rev-parse --git-dir', and the check for the '.git' subdirectory is performed first, so it wins over the path given in $GIT_DIR. There are several completion (helper) functions that depend on __gitdir(), and when the above case triggers the completion script will do weird things, like offering refs, aliases, or stashes from a different repository, or displaying wrong or broken prompt, etc. So check first whether $GIT_DIR is set, and only proceed with checking the '.git' directory in the current directory if it isn't. 'git rev-parse' would also check whether the path in $GIT_DIR is a proper '.git' directory, i.e. 'HEAD', 'refs/', and 'objects/' are present and accessible, but we don't have to be that thorough for the bash prompt. And we've lived with an equally permissive check for '.git' in the current working directory for years anyway.

In git-blame-filter and git-blame-create-overlay we want to save (along with the values of point and mark) the current-buffer in scope when calling the functions. The idiom (save-excursion (set-buffer buf) ...) will correctly restore the correct buffer, but will not save the values of point and mark in buf (only in the buffer current when the save-excursion call is executed). The intention of these functions is to save the current buffer from the calling scope and the values of point and mark in the buffer they are modifying. The correct idiom for this is (with-current-buffer buf (save-excursion ...))
