2012-08-23mergetool: style fixesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-273/+308
This script is one of the sizeable ones that tempted people to copy its "neibouring style" in their new code, but was littered with styles incompatible with our style guide. - use one tab, not four spaces, per indent level; - long lines can be wrapped after '|', '&&', or '||' for readability. - structures like "if .. then .. else .. fi", "while .. do .. done" are split into lines in such a way that does not require unnecessary semicolon. - case, esac and case-arms align at the same column.

2012-07-23mergetool: support --tool-help option like difftool doesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+41
This way we do not have to risk the list of tools going out of sync between the implementation and the documentation. In the same spirit as bf73fc2 (difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help', 2012-03-29), trim the list of merge backends in the documentation. We do not want to have a complete list of valid tools; we only want a list to help people guess what kind of things the tools do to be specified there, and refer them to --tool-help for a complete list.

2012-01-23mergetool: Provide an empty file when neededLibravatar David Aguilar1-4/+8
Some merge tools cannot cope when $LOCAL, $BASE, or $REMOTE are missing. $BASE can be missing when two branches independently add the same filename. Provide an empty file to make these tools happy. When a delete/modify conflict occurs, $LOCAL and $REMOTE can also be missing. We have special case code to handle such case so this change may not affect that codepath, but try to be consistent and create an empty file for them anyway.

* jm/mergetool-pathspec: mergetool: no longer need to save standard input mergetool: Use args as pathspec to unmerged files
2011-09-26mergetool: no longer need to save standard inputLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+4
Earlier code wanted to run merge_file and prompt_after_failed_merge both of which wanted to read from the standard input of the entire script inside a while loop, which read from a pipe, and in order to do so, it redirected the original standard input to another file descriptor. We no longer need to do so after the previous change. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-09-26mergetool: Use args as pathspec to unmerged filesLibravatar Jonathon Mah1-48/+28
Mergetool now treats its path arguments as a pathspec (like other git subcommands), restricting action to the given files and directories. Files matching the pathspec are filtered so mergetool only acts on unmerged paths; previously it would assume each path argument was in an unresolved state, and get confused when it couldn't check out their other stages. Running "git mergetool subdir" will prompt to resolve all conflicted blobs under subdir.

2011-04-13mergetool: Teach about submodulesLibravatar Jonathon Mah1-6/+84
When the index has conflicted submodules, mergetool used to mildly clobber the module, renaming it to mymodule.BACKUP.nnnn, then failing to copy it non-recursively. Recognize submodules and offer a resolution instead: Submodule merge conflict for 'Shared': {local}: submodule commit ad9f12e3e6205381bf2163a793d1e596a9e211d0 {remote}: submodule commit f5893fb70ec5646efcd9aa643c5136753ac89253 Use (l)ocal or (r)emote, or (a)bort? Selecting a commit will stage it, but not update the submodule (as git does had there been no conflict). Type changes are also supported, should the path be a submodule on one side, and a file, symlink, directory, or deleted on the other.

2011-02-16mergetool: don't skip modify/remove conflictsLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-1/+1
Since bb0a484 (mergetool: Skip autoresolved paths, 2010-08-17), mergetool uses different ways of figuring out the list of files with merge conflicts depending on whether rerere is active. If rerere is active, mergetool will use 'git rerere status' to list the files with remaining conflicts. However, the output from that command does not list conflicts of types that rerere does not handle, such as modify/remove conflicts. Another problem with solely relying on the output from 'git rerere status' is that, for new conflicts that are not yet known to rerere, the output from the command will list the files even after adding them to the index. This means that if the conflicts in some files have been resolved and 'git mergetool' is run again, it will ask the user something like the following for each of those files. file1: file does not need merging Continue merging other unresolved paths (y/n) ? Solve both of these problems by replacing the call to 'git rerere status' with a call to the new 'git rerere remaining' that was introduced in the previous commit.

2010-08-20mergetool: Remove explicit references to /dev/ttyLibravatar Charles Bailey1-2/+6
mergetool used /dev/tty to switch back to receiving input from the user via inside a block with a redirected stdin. This harms testability, so change mergetool to save its original stdin to an alternative fd in this block and restore it for those sub-commands that need the original stdin.

2010-08-17mergetool: Skip autoresolved pathsLibravatar David Aguilar1-5/+23
When mergetool is run without path limiters it loops over each entry in 'git ls-files -u'. This includes autoresolved paths. Teach mergetool to only merge files listed in 'rerere status' when rerere is enabled. There are some subtle but harmless changes in behavior. We now call cd_to_toplevel when no paths are given. We do this because 'rerere status' paths are always relative to the root. This is beneficial for the non-rerere use as well in that mergetool now runs against all unmerged files regardless of the current directory. This also slightly tweaks the output when run without paths to be more readable.

2009-04-12mergetool--lib: simplify API usage by removing more global variablesLibravatar David Aguilar1-7/+8
The mergetool--lib scriplet was tricky to use because it relied upon the existance of several global shell variables. This removes more global variables so that things are simpler for callers. A side effect is that some variables are recomputed each time run_merge_tool() is called, but the overhead for recomputing them is justified by the simpler implementation.

TortoiseMerge comes with TortoiseSVN or TortoiseGit for Windows. It can only be used as a merge tool with an existing base file. It cannot be used without a base nor as a diff tool.

Under Windows vimdiff and gvimdiff are not available as symbolic links, but as batch files vimdiff.bat and gvimdiff.bat. These files weren't found by 'type vimdiff' which led to the following error: The merge tool vimdiff is not available as 'vimdiff' Even if they were found, it wouldn't work to invoke these batch files from git-mergetool.

git mergetool listed some candidates for mergetools twice, depending on the environment.

When run from the command line, ECMerge does not automatically use the same settings for a merge / diff that it would use when starting the GUI and loading files manually. In the first case the built-in factory defaults would be used, while in the second case the settings the user has specified in the GUI would be used, which can be misleading.

2008-03-05Teach git mergetool to use custom commands defined at config timeLibravatar Charles Bailey1-2/+26
Currently git mergetool is restricted to a set of commands defined in the script. You can subvert the mergetool.<tool>.path to force git mergetool to use a different command, but if you have a command whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current tools then you would have to write a wrapper script for it. This patch adds two git config variable patterns which allow a more flexible choice of merge tool. If you run git mergetool with -t/--tool or the merge.tool config variable set to an unrecognized tool then git mergetool will query the mergetool.<tool>.cmd config variable. If this variable exists, then git mergetool will treat the specified tool as a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command with the documented shell variables set. mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode can be used to indicate that the exit code of the custom command can be used to determine the success of the merge.

A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac and similar. I consider breaking out of the condition instead of the body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance. It happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been replaced by a straight condition using "test". "case" has the advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test" is not a builtin. Since none of them is likely to run the git scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change. A few loops have had their termination condition expressed differently.
