2013-04-15bisect: Store first bad commit as comment in log fileLibravatar Torstein Hegge1-1/+7
When bisect successfully finds a single revision, the first bad commit should be shown to human readers of 'git bisect log'. This resolves the apparent disconnect between the bisection result and the log when a bug reporter says "I know that the first bad commit is $rev, as you can see from $(git bisect log)".

* js/bisect-no-checkout: bisect: fix exiting when checkout failed in bisect_start()
2011-09-21bisect: fix exiting when checkout failed in bisect_start()Libravatar Christian Couder1-1/+2
Commit 4796e823 ("bisect: introduce --no-checkout support into porcelain." Aug 4 2011) made checking out the branch where we started depends on the "checkout" mode. But unfortunately it lost the "|| exit" part after the checkout command. As it makes no sense to continue if the checkout failed and as people have already complained that the error message given when we just exit in this case is not clear, see: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/180733/ this patch adds a "|| die <hopefully clear message>" part after the checkout command.

2011-08-09bisect: add support for bisecting bare repositoriesLibravatar Jon Seymour1-2/+6
This enhances the support for bisecting history in bare repositories. The "git bisect" command no longer needs to be run inside a repository with a working tree; it defaults to --no-checkout when run in a bare repository. Two tests are included to demonstrate this behaviour.

git-bisect can now perform bisection of a history without performing a checkout at each stage of the bisection process. Instead, HEAD is updated. One use-case for this function is allow git bisect to be used with damaged repositories where git checkout would fail because the tree referenced by the commit is damaged. It can also be used in other cases where actual checkout of the tree is not required to progress the bisection.

We already fallback to git-log if there doesn't seem to be a graphical display available. We should do the same if gitk is not available in our PATH at all.

'git bisect log' is implemented by a direct invocation of 'cat "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG"', without any sanity checks. Consequently, running 'git bisect log' while not bisecting leads to an error, because the bisect logfile doesn't exists. The accompanying error message cat: /path/to/repo/.git/BISECT_LOG: No such file or directory is neither very helpful nor very friendly. Instead of blindly trying to cat the log file, first check whether there is a bisection going on (i.e. the bisect logfile exists), and die with a more appropriate error message when not.

2009-11-23Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanityLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
If the user has exported the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable, the output from "grep" and "egrep" in scripted Porcelains may be different from what they expect. For example, we may want to count number of matching lines, by "grep" piped to "wc -l", and GREP_OPTIONS=-C3 will break such use. The approach taken by this change to address this issue is to protect only our own use of grep/egrep. Because we do not unset it at the beginning of our scripts, hook scripts run from the scripted Porcelains are exposed to the same insanity this environment variable causes when grep/egrep is used to implement logic (e.g. "grep | wc -l"), and it is entirely up to the hook scripts to protect themselves. On the other hand, applypatch-msg hook may want to show offending words in the proposed commit log message using grep to the end user, and the user might want to set GREP_OPTIONS=--color to paint the match more visibly. The approach to protect only our own use without unsetting the environment variable globally will allow this use case. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-10-13bisect reset: Allow resetting to any commit, not just a branchLibravatar Anders Kaseorg1-4/+4
‘git bisect reset’ accepts an optional argument specifying a branch to check out after cleaning up the bisection state. This lets you specify an arbitrary commit. In particular, this provides a way to clean the bisection state without moving HEAD: ‘git bisect reset HEAD’. This may be useful if you are not interested in the state before you began a bisect, especially if checking out the old commit would be expensive and invalidate most of your compiled tree. Clarify the ‘git bisect reset’ documentation to explain this optional argument, which was previously mentioned only in the usage message.

2009-03-04rev-list: estimate number of bisection step leftLibravatar Christian Couder1-1/+1
This patch teaches "git rev-list --bisect-vars" to output an estimate of the number of bisection step left _after the current one_ along with the other variables it already outputs. This patch also makes "git-bisect.sh" display this number of steps left _after the current one_, along with the estimate of the number of revisions left to test (after the current one). Here is a table to help analyse what should be the best estimate for the number of bisect steps left. N : linear case --> probabilities --> best ------------------------------------------------------------- 1 : G-B --> 0 --> 0 2 : G-U1-B --> 0 --> 0 3 : G-U1-U2-B --> 0(1/3) 1(2/3) --> 1 4 : G-U1-U2-U3-B --> 1 --> 1 5 : G-U1-U2-U3-U4-B --> 1(3/5) 2(2/5) --> 1 6 : G-U1-U2-U3-U4-U5-B --> 1(2/6) 2(4/6) --> 2 7 : G-U1-U2-U3-U4-U5-U6-B --> 1(1/7) 2(6/7) --> 2 8 : G-U1-U2-U3-U4-U5-U6-U7-B --> 2 --> 2 9 : G-U1-U2-U3-U4-U5-U6-U7-U8-B --> 2(7/9) 3(2/9) --> 2 10: G-U1-U2-U3-U4-U5-U6-U7-U8-U9-B --> 2(6/10)3(4/10)--> 2 In the column "N", there is the number of revisions that could _now_ be the first bad commit we are looking for. The "linear case" column describes the linear history corresponding to the number in column N. G means good, B means bad, and Ux means unknown. Note that the first bad revision we are looking for can be any Ux or B. In the "probabilities" column, there are the different outcomes in number of steps with the odds of each outcome in parenthesis corresponding to the linear case. The "best" column gives the most accurate estimate among the different outcomes in the "probabilities" column. We have the following: best(2^n) == n - 1 and for any x between 0 included and 2^n excluded, the probability for n - 1 steps left looks like: P(2^n + x) == (2^n - x) / (2^n + x) and P(2^n + x) < 0.5 means 2^n < 3x So the algorithm used in this patch calculates 2^n and x, and then choose between returning n - 1 and n.

When there is nothing to be skipped, the output from rev-list --bisect-vars was eval'ed without first being strung together with &&; this is probably not a problem as it is much less likely to be a bad input than the list handcrafted by the filter_skip function, but it still is a good discipline.

2009-02-27bisect: fix quoting TRIED revs when "bad" commit is also "skip"pedLibravatar Christian Couder1-35/+41
When the "bad" commit was also "skip"ped and when more than one commit was skipped, the "filter_skipped" function would have printed something like: bisect_rev=<hash1>|<hash2> (where <hash1> and <hash2> are hexadecimal sha1 hashes) and this would have been evaled later as piping "bisect_rev=<hash1>" into "<hash2>", which would have failed. So this patch makes the "filter_skipped" function properly quote what it outputs, so that it will print something like: bisect_rev='<hash1>|<hash2>' which will be properly evaled later. The caller was not stopping properly because the scriptlet this function returned to be evaled was not strung together with && and because of this, an error in an earlier part of the output was simply ignored. A test case is added to the test suite. And while at it, we also initialize the VARS, FOUND and TRIED variables, so that we protect ourselves from environment variables the user may have with these names.

The patch that allows "git bisect skip" to be passed a range of commits using the "<commit1>..<commit2>" notation is flawed because it introduces a regression when it was passed a simple rev or commit. "git bisect skip <commit>" doesn't work any more, because <commit> is quoted but not properly unquoted.

2008-11-25bisect: teach "skip" to accept special arguments like "A..B"Libravatar Christian Couder1-1/+18
The current "git bisect skip" syntax is "git bisect skip [<rev>...]" so it's already possible to skip a range of revisions using something like: $ git bisect skip $(git rev-list A..B) where A and B are the bounds of the range we want to skip. This patch teaches "git bisect skip" to accept: $ git bisect skip A..B as an abbreviation for the former command. This is done by checking each argument to see if it contains two dots one after the other ('..'), and by expending it using "git rev-list" if that is the case. Note that this patch will not make "git bisect skip" accept all that "git rev-list" accepts, as things like "^A B" for exemple will not work. But things like "A B..C D E F.. ..G H...I" should work as expected. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-08-27bisect: only check merge bases when neededLibravatar Christian Couder1-14/+34
When one good revision is not an ancestor of the bad revision, the merge bases between the good and the bad revision should be checked to make sure that they are also good revisions. A previous patch takes care of that, but it may check the merge bases more often than really needed. In fact the previous patch did not try to optimize this as much as possible because it is not so simple. So this is the purpose of this patch. One may think that when all the merge bases have been checked then we can save a flag, so that we don't need to check the merge bases again during the bisect process. The problem is that the user may choose to checkout and test something completely different from what the bisect process suggested. In this case we have to check the merge bases again, because there may be new merge bases relevant to the bisect process. That's why, in this patch, when we detect that the user tested something else than what the bisect process suggested, we remove the flag that says that we don't need to check the merge bases again.
