2006-05-23git status: skip empty directories, and add -u to show all untracked filesLibravatar Matthias Lederhofer1-3/+14
By default, we use --others --directory to show uninteresting directories (to get user's attention) without their contents (to unclutter output). Showing empty directories do not make sense, so pass --no-empty-directory when we do so. Giving -u (or --untracked) disables this uncluttering to let the user get all untracked files.

2006-04-20git-commit --amend: two fixes.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+14
When running "git commit --amend" only to fix the commit log message without any content change, we mistakenly showed the git-status output that says "nothing to commit" without commenting it out. If you have already run update-index but you want to amend the top commit, "git commit --amend --only" without any paths should have worked, because --only means "starting from the base commit, update-index these paths only to prepare the index to commit, and perform the commit". However, we refused -o without paths. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-04-12git-commit: do not muck with commit message when no_edit is set.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+12
Spotted by Linus and Darrin Thompson. When we took a commit message from -F <file> with an incomplete line, we appended "git status" output, which ended up attaching a lone "#" at the end. We still need the "do we have anything to commit?" check by running "status" (which has to know what to do in different cases with -i/-o/-a), but there is no point appending its output to the proposed commit message given by the user.

2006-03-20Be verbose when !initial commitLibravatar Yasushi SHOJI1-1/+1
verbose option in git-commit.sh lead us to run git-diff-index, which needs a commit-ish we are making diff against. When we are commiting the fist set, we obviously don't have any commit-ish in the repo. So we just skip the git-diff-index run. It might be possible to produce diff against empty but do we need that?

2006-03-05git-commit --amend: allow empty commit.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
When amending a commit only to update the commit log message, git-status would rightly say "Nothing to commit." Do not let this prevent commit to be made. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-03-02git-commit: make sure we protect against races.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
An earlier commit 8098a178b26dc7a158d129a092a5b78da6d12b72 accidentally lost race protection from git-commit command. This commit reinstates it. When something else updates HEAD pointer while you were editing your commit message, the command would notice and abort the commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-03-02git-commit --amendLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+39
The new flag is used to amend the tip of the current branch. Prepare the tree object you would want to replace the latest commit as usual (this includes the usual -i/-o and explicit paths), and the commit log editor is seeded with the commit message from the tip of the current branch. The commit you create replaces the current tip -- if it was a merge, it will have the parents of the current tip as parents -- so the current top commit is discarded. It is a rough equivalent for: $ git reset --soft HEAD^ $ ... do something else to come up with the right tree ... $ git commit -c ORIG_HEAD but can be used to amend a merge commit.

2006-02-14commit: detect misspelled pathspec while making a partial commit.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+9
When you say "git commit Documentaiton" to make partial commit for the files only in that directory, we did not detect that as a misspelled pathname and attempted to commit index without change. If nothing matched, there is no harm done, but if the index gets modified otherwise by having another valid pathspec or after an explicit update-index, a user will not notice without paying attention to the "git status" preview. This introduces --error-unmatch option to ls-files, and uses it to detect this common user error. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-02-12git-commit: Now --only semantics is the default.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+3

2006-02-10git-commit -v: have patch at the end.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-27/+18
It was pointed out that otherwise more important summary information prefixed with '#' would become prone to be missed. Also instead of chopping at the first '^---$' line, stop at the first 'diff --git a/' line. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-02-10git-status -vLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-60/+250
This revamps the git-status command to take the same set of parameters as git commit. It gives a preview of what is being committed with that command. With -v flag, it shows the diff output between the HEAD commit and the index that would be committed if these flags were given to git-commit command. git-commit also acquires -v flag (it used to mean "verify" but that is the default anyway and there is --no-verify to turn it off, so not much is lost), which uses the updated git-status -v to seed the commit log buffer. This is handy for writing a log message while reviewing the changes one last time. Now, git-commit and git-status are internally share the same implementation. Unlike previous git-commit change, this uses a temporary index to prepare the index file that would become the real index file after a successful commit, and moves it to the real index file once the commit is actually made. This makes it safer than the previous scheme, which stashed away the original index file and restored it after an aborted commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-02-06git-commit: finishing touches.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-40/+73
Introduce --only flag to allow the new "partial commit" semantics when paths are specified. The default is still the traditional --include semantics. Once peoples' fingers and scripts that want the traditional behaviour are updated to explicitly say --include, we could change it to either default to --only, or refuse to operate without either --only/--include when paths are specified. This also fixes a couple of bugs in the previous round. Namely: - forgot to save/restore index in some cases. - forgot to use the temporary index to show status when '--only paths...' semantics was used. - --author did not take precedence when reusing an existing commit.

2006-02-06git-commit: revamp the git-commit semantics.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-112/+291
- "git commit" without _any_ parameter keeps the traditional behaviour. It commits the current index. We commit the whole index even when this form is run from a subdirectory. - "git commit --include paths..." (or "git commit -i paths...") is equivalent to: git update-index --remove paths... git commit - "git commit paths..." acquires a new semantics. This is an incompatible change that needs user training, which I am still a bit reluctant to swallow, but enough people seem to have complained that it is confusing to them. It 1. refuses to run if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists, and reminds trained git users that the traditional semantics now needs -i flag. 2. refuses to run if named paths... are different in HEAD and the index (ditto about reminding). Added paths are OK. 3. reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file. 4. updates named paths... from the working tree in this temporary index. 5. does the same updates of the paths... from the working tree to the real index. 6. makes a commit using the temporary index that has the current HEAD as the parent, and updates the HEAD with this new commit. - "git commit --all" can run from a subdirectory, but it updates the index with all the modified files and does a whole tree commit. - In all cases, when the command decides not to create a new commit, the index is left as it was before the command is run. This means that the two "git diff" in the following sequence: $ git diff $ git commit -a $ git diff would show the same diff if you abort the commit process by making the commit log message empty. This commit also introduces much requested --author option. $ git commit --author 'A U Thor <author@example.com>' Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-02-06git-rerere: reuse recorded resolve.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
In a workflow that employs relatively long lived topic branches, the developer sometimes needs to resolve the same conflict over and over again until the topic branches are done (either merged to the "release" branch, or sent out and accepted upstream). This commit introduces a new command, "git rerere", to help this process by recording the conflicted automerge results and corresponding hand-resolve results on the initial manual merge, and later by noticing the same conflicted automerge and applying the previously recorded hand resolution using three-way merge.

2005-11-11Do not lose author name information to locale gotchas.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
I noticed format-patch loses authorship information of Lukas' patch when I run git tools with LC_LANG set to ja_JP. It turns out that the sed script to set environment variables were not working on his name (encoded in UTF-8), which is unfortunate but technically correct.

2005-10-01Add git-symbolic-refLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+8
This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read and create "symbolic refs". By default it uses a symbolic link to represent ".git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master", but it can be compiled to use the textfile symbolic ref. The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah .git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so that they can deal with either implementation.

2005-09-10Multi-backend merge driver.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The new command 'git merge' takes the current head and one or more remote heads, with the commit log message for the automated case. If the heads being merged are simple fast-forwards, it acts the same way as the current 'git resolve'. Otherwise, it tries different merge strategies and takes the result from the one that succeeded auto-merging, if there is any. If no merge strategy succeeds auto-merging, their results are evaluated for number of paths needed for hand resolving, and the one with the least number of such paths is left in the working tree. The user is asked to resolve them by hand and make a commit manually. The calling convention from the 'git merge' driver to merge strategy programs is very simple: - A strategy program is to be called 'git-merge-<strategy>'. - They take input of this form: <common1> <common2> ... '--' <head> <remote1> <remote2>... That is, one or more the common ancestors, double dash, the current head, and one or more remote heads being merged into the current branch. - Before a strategy program is called, the working tree is matched to the current <head>. - The strategy program exits with status code 0 when it successfully auto-merges the given heads. It should do update-cache for all the merged paths when it does so -- the index file will be used to record the merge result as a commit by the driver. - The strategy program exits with status code 1 when it leaves conflicts behind. It should do update-cache for all the merged paths that it successfully auto-merged, and leave the cache entry in the index file as the same as <head> for paths it could not auto-merge, and leave its best-effort result with conflict markers in the working tree when it does so. - The strategy program exists with status code other than 0 or 1 if it does not handle the given merge at all. As examples, this commit comes with merge strategies based on 'git resolve' and 'git octopus'. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+233
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
