2007-03-24Use diff* with --exit-code in git-am, git-rebase and git-merge-oursLibravatar Alex Riesen1-6/+4
This simplifies the shell code, reduces its memory footprint, and speeds things up. The performance improvements should be noticable when git-rebase works on big commits. Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-03-22git-rebase: make 'rebase HEAD branch' work as expected.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+4
When you want to amend the commit message of 3 commits before the tip of the current branch, say 'master', A--B--C--D--E(master) it is sometimes handy to make your head detached at that commit with: $ git checkout HEAD~3 ;# check out B $ git commit --amend ;# without modifying contents... to create: .B'(HEAD) / A--B--C--D--E(master) and then rebase 'master' branch onto HEAD with this: $ git rebase HEAD master to result in: .B'-C'-D'-E(master=HEAD) / A--B--C--D--E However, the current code interprets HEAD after it switches to the branch 'master', which means the rebase will not do anything. You have to say something unwieldly like this instead: $ git rebase $(git rev-parse HEAD) master This fixes it by expanding the $onto commit name before switching to the target branch.

2007-01-12Allow whole-tree operations to be started from a subdirectoryLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
This updates five commands (merge, pull, rebase, revert and cherry-pick) so that they can be started from a subdirectory. This may not actually be what we want to do. These commands are inherently whole-tree operations, and an inexperienced user may mistakenly expect a "git pull" from a subdirectory would merge only the subdirectory the command started from.

2007-01-10Disallow working directory commands in a bare repository.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+1
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.

2006-12-28Use branch names in 'git-rebase -m' conflict hunks.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+10
If a three-way merge in git-rebase generates a conflict then we should take advantage of git-merge-recursive's ability to include the branch name of each side of the conflict hunk by setting the GITHEAD_* environment variables. In the case of rebase there aren't really two clear branches; we have the branch we are rebasing onto, and we have the branch we are currently rebasing. Since most conflicts will be arising between the user's current branch and the branch they are rebasing onto we assume the stuff that isn't in the current commit is the "onto" branch and the stuff in the current commit is the "current" branch. This assumption may however come up wrong if the user resolves one conflict in such a way that it conflicts again on a future commit also being rebased. In this case the user's prior resolution will appear to be in the "onto" part of the hunk. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-28Use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable instead.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-6/+4
Junio rightly pointed out that the --reflog-action parameter was starting to get out of control, as most porcelain code needed to hand it to other porcelain and plumbing alike to ensure the reflog contained the top-level user action and not the lower-level actions it invoked. At Junio's suggestion we are introducing the new set_reflog_action function to all shell scripts, allowing them to declare early on what their default reflog name should be, but this setting only takes effect if the caller has not already set the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable.

2006-12-22merge and reset: adjust for "reset --hard" messagesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
An earlier commit made "reset --hard" chattier but leaking its message from "git rebase" (which calls it when first rewinding the current branch to prepare replaying our own changes) without explanation was confusing, so add an extra message to mention it. Inside restorestate in merge (which is rarely exercised codepath, where more than one strategies are attempted), resetting to the original state uses "reset --hard" -- this can be squelched entirely.

2006-12-09rerere: record (or avoid misrecording) resolved, skipped or aborted rebase/amLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+8
Data in rr-cache isn't valid after a patch application is skipped or and aborted, so our next commit could be misrecorded as a resolution of that skipped/failed commit, which is wrong. git-am --skip, git-rebase --skip/--abort will automatically invoke git-rerere clear to avoid this. Also, since git-am --resolved indicates a resolution was succesful, remember to run git-rerere to record the resolution (and not surprise the user when the next commit is made).

2006-07-13Status update on merge-recursive in CLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
This is just an update for people being interested. Alex and me were busy with that project for a few days now. While it has progressed nicely, there are quite a couple TODOs in merge-recursive.c, just search for "TODO". For impatient people: yes, it passes all the tests, and yes, according to the evil test Alex did, it is faster than the Python script. But no, it is not yet finished. Biggest points are: - there are still three external calls - in the end, it should not be necessary to write the index more than once (just before exiting) - a lot of things can be refactored to make the code easier and shorter BTW we cannot just plug in git-merge-tree yet, because git-merge-tree does not handle renames at all. This patch is meant for testing, and as such, - it compile the program to git-merge-recur - it adjusts the scripts and tests to use git-merge-recur instead of git-merge-recursive - it provides "TEST", a script to execute the tests regarding -recursive - it inlines the changes to read-cache.c (read_cache_from(), discard_cache() and refresh_cache_entry()) Brought to you by Alex Riesen and Dscho Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-06-22rebase --merge: fix for rebasing more than 7 commits.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-13/+10
Instead of using 4-digit numbers to name commits being rebased, just use "cmt.$msgnum" string, with $msgnum as a decimal number without leading zero padding. This makes it possible to rebase more than 9999 commits, but of more practical importance is that the earlier code used "printf" to format already formatted $msgnum and barfed when it counted up to 0008. In other words, the old code was incapable of rebasing more than 7 commits, and this fixes that problem. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-18Rewrite rebase to use git-format-patch piped to git-am.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-56/+16
The current rebase implementation finds commits in our tree but not in the upstream tree using git-cherry, and tries to apply them using git-cherry-pick (i.e. always use 3-way) one by one. Which is fine, but when some of the changes do not apply cleanly, it punts, and punts badly. Suppose you have commits A-B-C-D-E since you forked from the upstream and submitted the changes for inclusion. You fetch from upstream head U and find that B has been picked up. You run git-rebase to update your branch, which tries to apply changes contained in A-C-D-E, in this order, but replaying of C fails, because the upstream got changes that touch the same area from elsewhere. Now what? It notes that fact, and goes ahead to apply D and E, and at the very end tells you to deal with C by hand. Even if you somehow managed to replay C on top of the result, you would now end up with ...-B-...-U-A-D-E-C. Breaking the order between B and others was the conscious decision made by the upstream, so we would not worry about it, and even if it were worrisome, it is too late for us to fix now. What D and E do may well depend on having C applied before them, which is a problem for us. This rewrites rebase to use git-format-patch piped to git-am, and when the patch does not apply, have git-am fall back on 3-way merge. The updated diff/patch pair knows how to apply trivial binary patches as long as the pre- and post-images are locally available, so this should work on a repository with binary files as well. The primary benefit of this change is that it makes rebase easier to use when some of the changes do not replay cleanly. In the "unapplicable patch in the middle" case, this "rebase" works like this: - A series of patches in e-mail form is created that records what A-C-D-E do, and is fed to git-am. This is stored in .dotest/ directory, just like the case you tried to apply them from your mailbox. Your branch is rewound to the tip of upstream U, and the original head is kept in .git/ORIG_HEAD, so you could "git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD" in case the end result is really messy. - Patch A applies cleanly. This could either be a clean patch application on top of rewound head (i.e. same as upstream head), or git-am might have internally fell back on 3-way (i.e. it would have done the same thing as git-cherry-pick). In either case, a rebased commit A is made on top of U. - Patch C does not apply. git-am stops here, with conflicts to be resolved in the working tree. Yet-to-be-applied D and E are still kept in .dotest/ directory at this point. What the user does is exactly the same as fixing up unapplicable patch when running git-am: - Resolve conflict just like any merge conflicts. - "git am --resolved --3way" to continue applying the patches. - This applies the fixed-up patch so by definition it had better apply. "git am" knows the patch after the fixed-up one is D and then E; it applies them, and you will get the changes from A-C-D-E commits on top of U, in this order. I've been using this without noticing any problem, and as people may know I do a lot of rebases. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

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.
