2011-10-05use -h for synopsis and --help for manpage consistentlyLibravatar Clemens Buchacher1-1/+1
A few scripted Porcelain implementations pretend as if the routine to show their own help messages are triggered upon "git cmd --help", but a command line parser of "git" will hijack such a request and shows the manpage for the cmd subcommand. Leaving the code to handle such input is simply misleading. Signed-off-by: Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-12-14difftool: Fix failure on CygwinLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-4/+8
In particular, test 14 'difftool last flag wins' in t7800 fails. This is caused by git-difftool.perl passing both GIT_DIFFTOOL_NO_PROMPT (='true') and GIT_DIFFTOOL_PROMPT (='true') to the difftool helper script. Despite the appropriate key being deleted from the ENV hash, it seems that once a key has been set in the hash, it gets passed along to the system() call. (ie deleting the key does not do the equivalent of unsetenv()). In order to fix the problem, we keep track of the required prompt state while processing the arguments, and then set the relevant ENV hash key only once at the end.

2010-09-27perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+1
Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2. However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open syntax: sub run_cmd_pipe { my $fh = undef; open($fh, '-|', @_) or die; return <$fh>; } Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1): t2016-checkout-patch.sh t3904-stash-patch.sh t3701-add-interactive.sh t7105-reset-patch.sh t7501-commit.sh t9700-perl-git.sh Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using useful features introduced in the 5.8 release. The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old. All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX Solaris and Tru64 systems.

2010-03-28difftool: Fix '--gui' when diff.guitool is unconfiguredLibravatar David Aguilar1-5/+7
When diff.guitool is unconfigured and "--gui" is specified git-difftool dies with the following error message: config diff.guitool: command returned error: 1 Catch the error so that the "--gui" flag is a no-op when diff.guitool is unconfigured.

2010-01-15difftool: Add '-x' and as an alias for '--extcmd'Libravatar David Aguilar1-7/+14
This adds '-x' as a shorthand for the '--extcmd' option. Arguments to '--extcmd' can be specified separately, which was not originally possible. This also fixes the brief help text so that it mentions both '-x' and '--extcmd'. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-01-09difftool: Allow specifying unconfigured commands with --extcmdLibravatar David Aguilar1-0/+4
git-difftool requires difftool.<tool>.cmd configuration even when tools use the standard "$diffcmd $from $to" form. This teaches git-difftool to run these tools in lieu of configuration by allowing the command to be specified on the command line.

2010-01-03git-difftool: Add '--gui' for selecting a GUI toolLibravatar David Aguilar1-1/+12
Users might prefer to have git-difftool use a different tool when run from a Git GUI. This teaches git-difftool to honor 'diff.guitool' when the '--gui' option is specified. This allows users to configure their preferred command-line diff tool in 'diff.tool' and a GUI diff tool in 'diff.guitool'.

2009-04-22Wait for git diff to finish in git difftoolLibravatar Alex Riesen1-1/+2
In ActivetState Perl, exec does not wait for the started program. This breaks difftool tests and may cause unexpected behaviour: git difftool has returned, but the rest of code (diff and possibly the interactive program are still running in the background.

2009-04-07difftool: add support for a difftool.prompt config variableLibravatar David Aguilar1-3/+12
difftool now supports difftool.prompt so that users do not have to pass --no-prompt or hit enter each time a diff tool is launched. The --prompt flag overrides the configuration variable. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-07difftool: move 'git-difftool' out of contribLibravatar David Aguilar1-0/+76
This prepares 'git-difftool' and its documentation for mainstream use. 'git-difftool-helper' became 'git-difftool--helper' since users should not use it directly. 'git-difftool' was added to the list of commands as an ancillaryinterrogator. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
