2020-09-30cmake (Windows): recommend using Visual Studio's built-in CMake supportLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-9/+17
It is a lot more convenient to use than having to specify the configuration in CMake manually (does not matter whether using the command-line or CMake's GUI). While at it, recommend using `contrib/buildsystems/out/` as build directory also in the part that talks about running CMake manually.

2020-09-30cmake (Windows): initialize vcpkg/build dependencies automaticallyLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+4
The idea of having CMake support in Git's source tree is to enable contributors on Windows to start contributing with little effort. To that end, we just added some sensible defaults that will let users open the worktree in Visual Studio and start building. This expects the dependencies (such as zlib) to be available already, though. If they are not available, we expect the user to run `compat/vcbuild/vcpkg_install.bat`. Rather than requiring this step to be manual, detect the situation and run it as part of the CMake configuration step. Note that this obviously only applies to the scenario when we want to compile in Visual Studio (i.e. with MS Visual C), not with GCC. Therefore, we guard this new code block behind the `MSVC` conditional. This concludes our journey to make it as effortless as possible to start developing Git in Visual Studio: all the developer needs to do is to clone Git's repository, open the worktree via `File>Open>Folder...` and wait for CMake to finish configuring.

2020-09-30cmake (Windows): complain when encountering an unknown compilerLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+2
We have some custom handling regarding the link options, which are specific to each compiler.

2020-09-30cmake (Windows): let the `.dll` files be found when running the testsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+3
Contrary to Unix-ish platforms, the dependencies' shared libraries are not usually found in one central place. In our case, since we use `vcpkg`, they are to be found inside the `compat/vcbuild/vcpkg/` tree. Let's make sure that they are in the search path when running the tests.

2020-09-30cmake: quote the path accurately when editing `test-lib.sh`Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
By default, the build directory will be called something like `contrib/buildsystems/out/build/x64-Debug (default)` (note the space and the parentheses).

2020-09-28cmake: ensure that the `vcpkg` packages are found on WindowsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+7
On Windows, we use the `vcpkg` project to manage the dependencies, via `compat/vcbuild/`. Let's make sure that these dependencies are found by default. This is needed because we are about to recommend loading the Git worktree as a folder into Visual Studio, relying on the automatic CMake support (which would make it relatively cumbersome to adjust the search path used by CMake manually).

By default, Git for Windows does not install its `sh.exe` into the `PATH`. However, our current `CMakeLists.txt` expects to find a shell interpreter in the `PATH`.

The completion for format-patch currently suggests --base=, --interdiff= and --range-diff= as options. However, with these `=` forms of the options, there is no space and we'd enter the `--*` case which means we don't call the __git_complete_revlist() at the end.

2020-08-13drop vcs-svn experimentLibravatar Jeff King6-287/+5
The code in vcs-svn was started in 2010 as an attempt to build a remote-helper for interacting with svn repositories (as opposed to git-svn). However, we never got as far as shipping a mature remote helper, and the last substantive commit was e99d012a6bc in 2012. We do have a git-remote-testsvn, and it is even installed as part of "make install". But given the name, it seems unlikely to be used by anybody (you'd have to explicitly "git clone testsvn::$url", and there have been zero mentions of that on the mailing list since 2013, and even that includes the phrase "you might need to hack a bit to get it working properly"[1]). We also ship contrib/svn-fe, which builds on the vcs-svn work. However, it does not seem to build out of the box for me, as the link step misses some required libraries for using libgit.a. Curiously, the original build breakage bisects for me to eff80a9fd9 (Allow custom "comment char", 2013-01-16), which seems unrelated. There was an attempt to fix it in da011cb0e7 (contrib/svn-fe: fix Makefile, 2014-08-28), but on my system that only switches the error message. So it seems like the result is not really usable by anybody in practice. It would be wonderful if somebody wanted to pick up the topic again, and potentially it's worth carrying around for that reason. But the flip side is that people doing tree-wide operations have to deal with this code. And you can see the list with (replace "HEAD" with this commit as appropriate): { echo "--" git diff-tree --diff-filter=D -r --name-only HEAD^ HEAD } | git log --no-merges --oneline e99d012a6bc.. --stdin which shows 58 times somebody had to deal with the code, generally due to a compile or test failure, or a tree-wide style fix or API change. Let's drop it and let anybody who wants to pick it up do so by resurrecting it from the git history. As a bonus, this also reduces the size of a stripped installation of Git from 21MB to 19MB.

2020-08-13make credential helpers builtinsLibravatar Jeff King1-19/+1
There's no real reason for credential helpers to be separate binaries. I did them this way originally under the notion that helper don't _need_ to be part of Git, and so can be built totally separately (and indeed, the ones in contrib/credential are). But the ones in our main Makefile build on libgit.a, and the resulting binaries are reasonably large. We can slim down our total disk footprint by just making them builtins. This reduces the size of: make strip install from 29MB to 24MB on my Debian system. Note that credential-cache can't operate without support for Unix sockets. Currently we just don't build it at all when NO_UNIX_SOCKETS is set. We could continue that with conditionals in the Makefile and our list of builtins. But instead, let's build a dummy implementation that dies with an informative message. That has two advantages: - it's simpler, because the conditional bits are all kept inside the credential-cache source - a user who is expecting it to exist will be told _why_ they can't use it, rather than getting the "credential-cache is not a git command" error which makes it look like the Git install is broken. Note that our dummy implementation does still respond to "-h" in order to appease t0012 (and this may be a little friendlier for users, as well).

2020-06-26cmake: support for building git on windows with msvc and clang.Libravatar Sibi Siddharthan1-10/+45
This patch adds support for Visual Studio and Clang builds The minimum required version of CMake is upgraded to 3.15 because this version offers proper support for Clang builds on Windows. Libintl is not searched for when building with Visual Studio or Clang because there is no binary compatible version available yet. NOTE: In the link options invalidcontinue.obj has to be included. The reason for this is because by default, Windows calls abort()'s instead of setting errno=EINVAL when invalid arguments are passed to standard functions. This commit explains it in detail: 4b623d80f73528a632576990ca51e34c333d5dd6 On Windows the default generator is Visual Studio,so for Visual Studio builds do this: cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` NOTE: Visual Studio generator is a multi config generator, which means that Debug and Release builds can be done on the same build directory.

2020-06-26cmake: support for testing git with ctestLibravatar Sibi Siddharthan1-0/+124
This patch provides an alternate way to test git using ctest. CTest ships with CMake, so there is no additional dependency being introduced. To perform the tests with ctest do this after building: ctest -j[number of jobs] NOTE: -j is optional, the default number of jobs is 1 Each of the jobs does this: cd t/ && sh t[something].sh The reason for using CTest is that it logs the output of the tests in a neat way, which can be helpful during diagnosis of failures. After the tests have run ctest generates three log files located in `build-directory`/Testing/Temporary/ These log files are: CTestCostData.txt: This file contains the time taken to complete each test. LastTestsFailed.log: This log file contains the names of the tests that have failed in the run. LastTest.log: This log file contains the log of all the tests that have run.

2020-06-22git-prompt: include sparsity state as wellLibravatar Elijah Newren1-2/+20
git-prompt includes the current branch, a bunch of single character mini-state displayers, and some much longer in-progress state notifications. The current branch is always shown. The single character mini-state displayers are all off by default (they are not self explanatory) but each has an environment variable for turning it on. The in-progress state notifications provide no configuration options for turning them off, and can be up to 15 characters long (e.g. "|REBASE (12/18)" or "|CHERRY-PICKING"). The single character mini-state tends to be used for things like "Do you have any stashes in refs/stash?" or "Are you ahead or behind of upstream?". These are things which users can take advantage of but do not affect most normal git operations. The in-progress states, by contrast, suggest the user needs to interact differently and may also prevent some normal operations from succeeding (e.g. git switch may show an error instead of switching branches). Sparsity is like the in-progress states in that it suggests a fundamental different interaction with the repository (many of the files from the repository are not present in your working copy!). A few commits ago added sparsity information to wt_longstatus_print_state(), grouping it with other in-progress state displays. We do similarly here with the prompt and show the extra state, by default, with an extra |SPARSE This state can be present simultaneously with the in-progress states, in which case it will appear before the other states; for example, (branchname|SPARSE|REBASE 6/10) The reason for showing the "|SPARSE" substring before other states is to emphasize those other states. Sparsity is probably not going to change much within a repository, while temporary operations will. So we want the state changes related to temporary operations to be listed last, to make them appear closer to where the user types and make them more likely to be noticed. The fact that sparsity isn't just cached metadata or additional information is what leads us to show it more similarly to the in-progress states, but the fact that sparsity is not transient like the in-progress states might cause some users to want an abbreviated notification of sparsity state or perhaps even be able to turn it off.

2020-06-17commit: move members graph_pos, generation to a slabLibravatar Abhishek Kumar1-0/+18
We remove members `graph_pos` and `generation` from the struct commit. The default assignments in init_commit_node() are no longer valid, which is fine as the slab helpers return appropriate default values and the assignments are removed. We will replace existing use of commit->generation and commit->graph_pos by commit_graph_data_slab helpers using `contrib/coccinelle/commit.cocci'.

2020-06-12Introduce CMake support for configuring GitLibravatar Sibi Siddharthan1-0/+592
At the moment, the recommended way to configure Git's builds is to simply run `make`. If that does not work, the recommended strategy is to look at the top of the `Makefile` to see whether any "Makefile knob" has to be turned on/off, e.g. `make NO_OPENSSL=YesPlease`. Alternatively, Git also has an `autoconf` setup which allows configuring builds via `./configure [<option>...]`. Both of these options are fine if the developer works on Unix or Linux. But on Windows, we have to jump through hoops to configure a build (read: we force the user to install a full Git for Windows SDK, which occupies around two gigabytes (!) on disk and downloads about three quarters of a gigabyte worth of Git objects). The build infrastructure for Git is written around being able to run make, which is not supported natively on Windows. To help Windows developers a CMake build script is introduced here. With a working support CMake, developers on Windows need only install CMake, configure their build, load the generated Visual Studio solution and immediately start modifying the code and build their own version of Git. Likewise, developers on other platforms can use the convenient GUI tools provided by CMake to configure their build. So let's start building CMake support for Git. This is only the first step, and to make it easier to review, it only allows for configuring builds on the platform that is easiest to configure for: Linux. The CMake script checks whether the headers are present(eg. libgen.h), whether the functions are present(eg. memmem), whether the funtions work properly (eg. snprintf) and generate the required compile definitions for the platform. The script also searches for the required libraries, if it fails to find the required libraries the respective executables won't be built.(eg. If libcurl is not found then git-remote-http won't be built). This will help building Git easier. With a CMake script an out of source build of git is possible resulting in a clean source tree. Note: this patch asks for the minimum version v3.14 of CMake (which is not all that old as of time of writing) because that is the first version to offer a platform-independent way to generate hardlinks as part of the build. This is needed to generate all those hardlinks for the built-in commands of Git. Signed-off-by: Sibi Siddharthan <sibisiddharthan.github@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-06-08Merge branch 'vs/complete-stash-show-p-fix'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The command line completion script (in contrib/) tried to complete "git stash -p" as if it were "git stash push -p", but it was too aggressive and also affected "git stash show -p", which has been corrected. * vs/complete-stash-show-p-fix: completion: don't override given stash subcommand with -p
2020-05-28completion: improve handling of --orphan option of switch/checkoutLibravatar Jacob Keller1-7/+14
The --orphan option is used to create a local branch which is detached from the current history. In git switch, it always resets to the empty tree, and thus the only completion we can provide is a branch name. Follow the same rules for -c/-C (and -b/-B) when completing the argument to --orphan. In the case of git switch, after we complete the argument, there is nothing more we can complete for git switch, so do not even try. Nothing else would be valid. In the case of git checkout, --orphan takes a start point which it uses to determine the checked out tree, even though it created orphaned history. Update the previously added test cases as they are now passing. Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-05-28completion: improve handling of -c/-C and -b/-B in switch/checkoutLibravatar Jacob Keller1-2/+47
A previous commit added several test cases highlighting the subpar completion logic for -c/-C and -b/-B when completing git switch and git checkout. In order to distinguish completing the argument vs the start-point for this option, we now use the wordlist to determine the previous full word on the command line. If it's -c or -C (-b/-B for checkout), then we know that we are completing the argument for the branch name. Given that a user who already knows the branch name they want to complete will simply not use completion, it makes sense to complete the small subset of local branches when completing the argument for -c/-C. In all other cases, if -c/-C are on the command line but are not the most recent option, then we must be completing a start-point, and should allow completing against all references. Update the -c/-C and -b/-B tests to indicate they now pass. Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
