2007-03-23checkout: report where the new HEAD is upon detaching HEADLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+10
After "git reset" moves the HEAD around, it reports which commit you are on, which gives the user a warm fuzzy feeling of assurance. Give the same assurance from git-checkout when moving the detached HEAD around. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-03-16git-fetch, git-branch: Support local --track via a special remote '.'Libravatar Paolo Bonzini1-1/+1
This patch adds support for a dummy remote '.' to avoid having to declare a fake remote like [remote "local"] url = . fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* Such a builtin remote simplifies the operation of "git-fetch", which will populate FETCH_HEAD but will not pretend that two repositories are in use, will not create a thin pack, and will not perform any useless remapping of names. The speed improvement is around 20%, and it should improve more if "git-fetch" is converted to a builtin. To this end, git-parse-remote is grown with a new kind of remote, 'builtin'. In git-fetch.sh, we treat the builtin remote specially in that it needs no pack/store operations. In fact, doing git-fetch on a builtin remote will simply populate FETCH_HEAD appropriately. The patch also improves of the --track/--no-track support, extending it so that branch.<name>.remote items referring '.' can be created. Finally, it fixes a typo in git-checkout.sh.

2007-03-10git-branch, git-checkout: autosetup for remote branch trackingLibravatar Paolo Bonzini1-6/+11
In order to track and build on top of a branch 'topic' you track from your upstream repository, you often would end up doing this sequence: git checkout -b mytopic origin/topic git config --add branch.mytopic.remote origin git config --add branch.mytopic.merge refs/heads/topic This would first fork your own 'mytopic' branch from the 'topic' branch you track from the 'origin' repository; then it would set up two configuration variables so that 'git pull' without parameters does the right thing while you are on your own 'mytopic' branch. This commit adds a --track option to git-branch, so that "git branch --track mytopic origin/topic" performs the latter two actions when creating your 'mytopic' branch. If the configuration variable branch.autosetupmerge is set to true, you do not have to pass the --track option explicitly; further patches in this series allow setting the variable with a "git remote add" option. The configuration variable is off by default, and there is a --no-track option to countermand it even if the variable is set.

2007-02-03Let git-checkout always drop any detached headLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-15/+2
We used to refuse leaving a detached HEAD when it wasn't matching an existing ref so not to lose any commit that might have been performed while not on any branch (unless -f was provided). But this protection was completely bogus since it was still possible to move to HEAD^ while still remaining detached but losing the last commit anyway if there was one. Now that we have a proper reflog for HEAD it is best to simply remove that bogus (and admitedly annoying) protection and simply display the last HEAD position instead. If one wants to recover a lost detached state then it can be retrieved from the HEAD reflog. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-02-01detached HEAD -- finishing touchesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+8
This updates "git-checkout" to report which branch you are switching to. Especially for people who do not use __git_ps1 from contrib/completion/git-completion.bash this would give a friendlier feedback of what is going on, and should make the reminder message much less scary. Here is a sample session (the prompt tells which branch I am on). * I have some local modification and realize that the change deserves to be on its own new topic branch. [git.git (master)]$ git diff --stat git-checkout.sh | 10 ++++++++-- 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) * So I switch to a new branch. I get a listing of local modifications and assuring "Switched to a new branch" message. [git.git (master)]$ git checkout -b jc/checkout M git-checkout.sh Switched to a new branch "jc/checkout" * If I switch back to "master", I get essentially the same. [git.git (jc/checkout)]$ git checkout master M git-checkout.sh Switched to branch "master" * Detaching head would say which commit I am at and reminds me that I am not on any branch (not that I would detach my HEAD while keeping precious local changes around in any real-world workflow -- this is just a sample session). [git.git (master)]$ git checkout master^ M git-checkout.sh Note: you are not on any branch and are at commit "master^" If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example: git checkout -b <new_branch_name> * Coming back to an attached state can lose the detached HEAD, so I get warned and stopped. [git.git]$ git checkout master You are not on any branch and switching to branch 'master' may lose your changes. At this point, you can do one of two things: (1) Decide it is Ok and say 'git checkout -f master'; (2) Start a new branch from the current commit, by saying 'git checkout -b <branch-name>'. Leaving your HEAD detached; not switching to branch 'master'. * Moving around while my HEAD is detached is Ok. I still get the list of local modifications. [git.git]$ git checkout master^0 M git-checkout.sh * The previous step that switched to the tip commit is an obscure but useful trick. My HEAD is still detached but now it is pointed at by an existing ref, so I can come back safely. [git.git]$ git checkout master M git-checkout.sh Switched to branch "master" * And we are back on the "master" branch. [git.git (master)]$ exit Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-01-23git-checkout -m: fix merge caseLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+5
Commit c1a4278e switched the "merging checkout" implementation from 3-way read-tree to merge-recursive, but forgot that merge-recursive will signal an unmerged state with its own exit status code. This prevented the clean-up phase (paths cleanly merged should not be updated in the index) from running. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

If the user tries to run a porcelainish command which requires a working directory in a bare repository they may get unexpected results which are difficult to predict and may differ from command to command. Instead we should detect that the current repository is a bare repository and refuse to run the command there, as there is no working directory associated with it.

2007-01-09git-checkout: handle local changes sanely when detaching HEADLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-11/+25
When switching branches, we usually first try read-tree to make sure that we do not lose the local changes and then updated the HEAD using update-ref. However, we detached and updated HEAD before these checks, which was quite bad in a repository with local changes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-09git-checkout: safety check for detached HEAD checks existing refsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+7
Checking for reachability from refs does not help much if the state we are currently on is somewhere in the middle. We will lose where we were. So this makes sureh that HEAD is something directly pointed at by one of the existing refs (most likely a tag for a user who has been "sightseeing"). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-08git-checkout: fix branch name output from the commandLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
When switching branches with "git checkout", we internally did $arg^0 (aka $arg^{commit}) suffix but there was no need to. The improvement is easily visible in the change to an existing test t/3200-branch.sh in this commit; it was expecting rather ugly message. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-08git-checkout: safety when coming back from the detached HEAD state.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+18
After making commits in the detached HEAD state, if you run "git checkout" to switch to an existing branch, you will lose your work. Make sure the switched-to branch is a fast-forward of the current HEAD, or require -f when switching. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-08Detached HEAD (experimental)Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+11
This allows "git checkout v1.4.3" to dissociate the HEAD of repository from any branch. After this point, "git branch" starts reporting that you are not on any branch. You can go back to an existing branch by saying "git checkout master", for example. This is still experimental. While I think it makes sense to allow commits on top of detached HEAD, it is rather dangerous unless you are careful in the current form. Next "git checkout master" will obviously lose what you have done, so we might want to require "git checkout -f" out of a detached HEAD if we find that the HEAD commit is not an ancestor of any other branches. There is no such safety valve implemented right now. On the other hand, the reason the user did not start the ad-hoc work on a new branch with "git checkout -b" was probably because the work was of a throw-away nature, so the convenience of not having that safety valve might be even better. The user, after accumulating some commits on top of a detached HEAD, can always create a new branch with "git checkout -b" not to lose useful work done while the HEAD was detached. We'll see.

2006-09-27Allow git-checkout when on a non-existant branch.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-1/+8
I've seen some users get into situtations where their HEAD symbolic-ref is pointing at a non-existant ref. (Sometimes this happens during clone when the remote repository lacks a 'master' branch.) If this happens the user is unable to use git-checkout to switch branches as there is no prior commit to merge from. So instead of giving the user low-level errors about how HEAD can't be resolved and how not a single revision was given change the type of checkout to be a force and go through with the user's request anyway.

2006-06-28checkout -m: fix read-tree invocationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+1

2006-06-20checkout -f: do not leave untracked working tree files.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+1
Earlier we did not consider untracked working tree files "precious", but we have always considered them fair game to clobber. These days, branch switching by read-tree is more careful and tries to protect untracked working tree files. This caused the following workflow to stop working: git checkout one-branch-with-file-F git checkout -f another-without-file-F git pull . one-branch-with-file-F Because the second checkout leaves F from the previous state as untracked file in the working tree, the merge would fail, trying to protect F from being clobbered. This changes "git checkout -f" to remove working tree files that are known to git in the switched-from state but do not exist in the switched-to state, borrowing the same logic from "reset --hard". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-24Test that git-branch -l works.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-2/+2
If the user supplies -l to git-branch when creating a new branch then the new branch's log should be created automatically and the branch creation should be logged in that log. Further if a branch is being deleted and it had a log then also verify that the log was deleted. Test git-checkout -b foo -l for creating a new branch foo with a log and checking out that branch. Fixed git-checkout -b foo -l as the branch variable name was incorrect in the script. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Switch git checkout -b to use git-update-ref rather than echo and a shell I/O redirection.

Earlier, when we switched a branch we used diff-files to show paths that are dirty in the working tree.

2005-12-22checkout: sometimes work from a subdirectory.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+9
git-checkout does two very different things, and what they should do when run from subdirectory are quite different. It does not make any sense to run the one that switches the current head from anywhere other than the toplevel: git-checkout [-f] <branch> git-checkout [-b <branch>] <committish> We could of course chdir to top and do the whole-tree checkout in git-checkout, but the point is the operation does not make sense on a partial tree. The whole tree is checked out. The other form is to update the index file and working tree file selectively: git-checkout <treeish> <file>... ;# out of tree to index and file git-checkout -- <file>... ;# out of index to file This form _does_ make sense to run from subdirectory; and I myself often wish we supported this. So here is a patch to do both. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
