2010-11-12fetch/pull: Add the --recurse-submodules optionLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-2/+5
Until now you had to call "git submodule update" (without -N|--no-fetch option) or something like "git submodule foreach git fetch" to fetch new commits in populated submodules from their remote. This could lead to "(commits not present)" messages in the output of "git diff --submodule" (which is used by "git gui" and "gitk") after fetching or pulling new commits in the superproject and is an obstacle for implementing recursive checkout of submodules. Also "git submodule update" cannot fetch changes when disconnected, so it was very easy to forget to fetch the submodule changes before disconnecting only to discover later that they are needed. This patch adds the "--recurse-submodules" option to recursively fetch each populated submodule from the url configured in the .git/config of the submodule at the end of each "git fetch" or during "git pull" in the superproject. The submodule paths are taken from the index. The hidden option "--submodule-prefix" is added to "git fetch" to be able to print out the full paths of nested submodules.

2010-10-28Porcelain scripts: Rewrite cryptic "needs update" error messageLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-4/+1
Although Git interally has the facility to differentiate between porcelain and plubmbing commands and appropriately print errors, several shell scripts invoke plubming commands triggering cryptic plumbing errors to be displayed on a porcelain interface. This patch replaces the "needs update" message in git-pull and git-rebase, when `git update-index` is run, with a more friendly message.

* en/rebase-against-rebase-fix: pull --rebase: Avoid spurious conflicts and reapplying unnecessary patches t5520-pull: Add testcases showing spurious conflicts from git pull --rebase
2010-08-12pull --rebase: Avoid spurious conflicts and reapplying unnecessary patchesLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+9
Prior to c85c792 (pull --rebase: be cleverer with rebased upstream branches, 2008-01-26), pull --rebase would run git rebase $merge_head which resulted in a call to git format-patch ... --ignore-if-in-upstream $merge_head..$cur_branch This resulted in patches from $merge_head..$cur_branch being applied, as long as they did not already exist in $cur_branch..$merge_head. Unfortunately, when upstream is rebased, $merge_head..$cur_branch also refers to "old" commits that have already been rebased upstream, meaning that many patches that were already fixed upstream would be reapplied. This could result in many spurious conflicts, as well as reintroduce patches that were intentionally dropped upstream. So the algorithm was changed in c85c792 (pull --rebase: be cleverer with rebased upstream branches, 2008-01-26) and d44e712 (pull: support rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebase, 2009-07-19). Defining $old_remote_ref to be the most recent entry in the reflog for @{upstream} that is an ancestor of $cur_branch, pull --rebase was changed to run git rebase --onto $merge_head $old_remote_ref which results in a call to git format-patch ... --ignore-if-in-upstream $old_remote_ref..$cur_branch The whole point of this change was to reduce the number of commits being reapplied, by avoiding commits that upstream already has or had. In the rebased upstream case, this change achieved that purpose. It is worth noting, though, that since $old_remote_ref is always an ancestor of $cur_branch (by its definition), format-patch will not know what upstream is and thus will not be able to determine if any patches are already upstream; they will all be reapplied. In the non-rebased upstream case, this new form is usually the same as the original code but in some cases $old_remote_ref can be an ancestor of $(git merge-base $merge_head $cur_branch) meaning that instead of avoiding reapplying commits that upstream already has, it actually includes more such commits. Combined with the fact that format-patch can no longer detect commits that are already upstream (since it is no longer told what upstream is), results in lots of confusion for users (e.g. "git is giving me lots of conflicts in stuff I didn't even change since my last push.") Cases where additional commits could be reapplied include forking from a commit other than the tracking branch, or amending/rebasing after pushing. Cases where the inability to detect upstreamed commits cause problems include independent discovery of a fix and having your patches get upstreamed by some alternative route (e.g. pulling your changes to a third machine, pushing from there, and then going back to your original machine and trying to pull --rebase). Fix the non-rebased upstream case by ignoring $old_remote_ref whenever it is contained in $(git merge-base $merge_head $cur_branch). This should have no affect on the rebased upstream case.

2010-05-25pull: do nothing on --dry-runLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+6
Pull was never meant to take --dry-run at all. However, it passes unknown arguments to git-fetch, which does do a dry-run. Unfortunately, pull then attempts to merge whatever cruft was in FETCH_HEAD (which the dry-run fetch will not have written to). Even though we never advertise --dry-run as something that should work, it is still worth being defensive because: 1. Other commands (including fetch) take --dry-run, so a user might try it. 2. Rather than simply producing an error, it actually changes the repository in totally unexpected ways. This patch makes "pull --dry-run" equivalent to "fetch --dry-run".

2010-01-12Be more user-friendly when refusing to do something because of conflict.Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+23
Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit, merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and inconsistant error messages. A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution. For commit, the error message used to look like this: $ git commit foo.txt: needs merge foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169) foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030) foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4) error: Error building trees The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(), which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict. The new output looks like: U foo.txt fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files. Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'. Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists instead of waiting for merge to complain. The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

This reverts commit c0ecb07048ce2123589a2f077d296e8cf29a9570 "git-pull.sh: Fix call to git-merge for new command format" and commit b81e00a965c62ca72a4b9db425ee173de147808d "git-merge: a deprecation notice of the ancient command line syntax". They caused a "git pull" (without any arguments, and without any local commits---only to update to the other side) to warn that commit log message is ignored because the merge resulted in a fast-forward. Another possible solution is to add an extra option to "git merge" so that "git pull" can tell it that the message given is not coming from the end user (the canned message is passed just in case the merge resulted in a non-ff and caused commit), but I think it is easier _not_ to deprecate the old syntax.

When pull --rebase fails because it cannot find what branch to merge against, the error message implies we are trying to merge. Say "rebase against" instead of "merge with" to avoid confusion. The configuration suggested to remedy the situation uses a confusing syntax, with variables specified in the dotted form accepted by 'git config' but separated from their values by the '=' delimiter used by config files. Since the user will have to edit this output anyway, it is more helpful to provide a config file snippet to paste into an editor and modify.

2009-10-09pull: improve advice for unconfigured error caseLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+12
There are several reasons a git-pull invocation might not have anything marked for merge: 1. We're not on a branch, so there is no branch configuration. 2. We're on a branch, but there is no configuration for this branch. 3. We fetched from the configured remote, but the configured branch to merge didn't get fetched (either it doesn't exist, or wasn't part of the fetch refspec). 4. We fetched from the non-default remote, but didn't specify a branch to merge. We can't use the configured one because it applies to the default remote. 5. We fetched from a specified remote, and a refspec was given, but it ended up not fetching anything (this is actually hard to do; if the refspec points to a remote branch and it doesn't exist, then fetch will fail and we never make it to this code path. But if you provide a wildcard refspec like refs/bogus/*:refs/remotes/origin/* then you can see this failure). We have handled (1) and (2) for some time. Recently, commit a6dbf88 added code to handle case (3). This patch handles cases (4) and (5), which previously just fell under other cases, producing a confusing message. While we're at it, let's rewrap the text for case (3), which looks terribly ugly as it is. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Back when a74b170 (git-pull: disallow implicit merging to detached HEAD, 2007-01-15) added this check, $? referred to the error status of reading HEAD as a symbolic-ref; but cd67e4d (Teach 'git pull' about --rebase, 2007-11-28) moved the command away from where the check is, and nobody noticed the breakage. Ever since, $? has always been 0 (tr at the end of the pipe to find merge_head never fails) and other case arms were never reached. These days, error_on_no_merge_candidates function is prepared to handle a detached HEAD case, which was what the code this patch removes used to handle.

The test erroneously reports dirtiness if we don't have a HEAD yet.

You cannot do a "git pull --rebase" with a rebased upstream, if you have already run "git fetch". Try to behave as if the "git fetch" was not run. In other words, find the fork point of the current branch, where the tip of upstream branch used to be, and use it as the upstream parameter of "git rebase". This patch computes the fork point by walking the reflog to find the first commit which is an ancestor of the current branch.

2007-12-28"git pull --tags": error out with a better message.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-26/+40
When "git pull --tags" is run without any other arguments, the standard error message "You told me to fetch and merge stuff but there is nothing to merge! You might want to fix your config" is given. While the error may be technically correct, fixing the config would not help, as "git pull --tags" itself tells "git fetch" not to use the configured refspecs. This commit makes "git pull --tags" to issue a different error message to avoid confusion. This is merely an interim solution. In the longer term, it would be a better approach to change the semantics of --tags option to make "git fetch" and "git pull" to: (1) behave as if no --tags was given (so an explicit refspec on the command line overrides configured ones, or no explicit refspecs on the command line takes configured ones); but (2) no auto-following of tags is made even when using configured refspecs; and (3) fetch all tags as not-for-merge entries". Then we would not need to have this separate error message, as the ordinary merge will happen even with the --tags option. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-11-28Teach 'git pull' about --rebaseLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+10
When calling 'git pull' with the '--rebase' option, it performs a fetch + rebase instead of a fetch + merge. This behavior is more desirable than fetch + pull when a topic branch is ready to be submitted and needs to be update. fetch + rebase might also be considered a better workflow with shared repositories in any case, or for contributors to a centrally managed repository, such as WINE's. As a convenience, you can set the default behavior for a branch by defining the config variable branch.<name>.rebase, which is interpreted as a bool. This setting can be overridden on the command line by --rebase and --no-rebase. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
