2013-08-07die_with_status: use "printf '%s\n'", not "echo"Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+1
Some implementations of 'echo' (e.g. dash's built-in) interpret backslash sequences in their arguments. This triggered at least one bug: the error message of "rebase -i" was turning \t in commit messages into actual tabulations. There may be others. Using "printf '%s\n'" instead avoids this bad behavior, and is the form used by the "say" function.

Adjust the order mergetools feeds the files to the p4merge backend to match the p4 convention. * kb/p4merge: merge-one-file: force content conflict for "both sides added" case git-merge-one-file: send "ERROR:" messages to stderr git-merge-one-file: style cleanup merge-one-file: remove stale comment mergetools/p4merge: create a base if none available mergetools/p4merge: swap LOCAL and REMOTE
2013-03-13mergetools/p4merge: create a base if none availableLibravatar Kevin Bracey1-0/+12
Originally, with no base, Git gave P4Merge $LOCAL as a dummy base: p4merge "$LOCAL" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED" Commit 0a0ec7bd changed this to: p4merge "empty file" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED" to avoid the problem of being unable to save in some circumstances with similar inputs. Unfortunately this approach produces much worse results on differing inputs. P4Merge really regards the blank file as the base, and once you have just a couple of differences between the two branches you end up with one a massive full-file conflict. The 3-way diff is not readable, and you have to invoke "difftool MERGE_HEAD HEAD" manually to get a useful view. The original approach appears to have invoked special 2-way merge behaviour in P4Merge that occurs only if the base filename is "" or equal to the left input. You get a good visual comparison, and it does not auto-resolve differences. (Normally if one branch matched the base, it would autoresolve to the other branch). But there appears to be no way of getting this 2-way behaviour and being able to reliably save. Having base==left appears to be triggering other assumptions. There are tricks the user can use to force the save icon on, but it's not intuitive. So we now follow a suggestion given in the original patch's discussion: generate a virtual base, consisting of the lines common to the two branches. This is the same as the technique used in resolve and octopus merges, so we relocate that code to a shared function. Note that if there are no differences at the same location, this technique can lead to automatic resolution without conflict, combining everything from the 2 files. As with the other merges using this technique, we assume the user will inspect the result before saving.

With an unset IFS, field splitting is supposed to act as if IFS is set to the usual SP HT LF, but Marc Branchaud reports that the shell on FreeBSD 7.2 gets this wrong. It is easy to set it to the default value manually, and it is also safer in case somebody tries to save the old value away and restore, e.g. $oIFS=$IFS IFS=something ...

2012-10-18git-sh-setup: refactor ident-parsing functionsLibravatar Jeff King1-19/+43
The only ident-parsing function we currently provide is get_author_ident_from_commit. This is not very flexible for two reasons: 1. It takes a commit as an argument, and can't read from commit headers saved on disk. 2. It will only parse authors, not committers.

2012-02-03parse_date(): '@' prefix forces git-timestampLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The only place that the issue this series addresses was observed where we read "cat-file commit" output and put it in GIT_AUTHOR_DATE in order to replay a commit with an ancient timestamp. With the previous patch alone, "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'" can be misinterpreted to mean an ancient timestamp, not September in year 2010. Guard this codepath by requring an extra '@' in front of the raw git timestamp on the parsing side. This of course needs to be compensated by updating get_author_ident_from_commit and the code for "git commit --amend" to prepend '@' to the string read from the existing commit in the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE environment variable.

2011-05-24require-work-tree wants more than what its name saysLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+7
Somebody tried "git pull" from a random place completely outside the work tree, while exporting GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE that are set to correct places, e.g. GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME/git.git GIT_DIR=$GIT_WORK_TREE/.git export GIT_WORK_TREE GIT_DIR cd /tmp git pull At the beginning of git-pull, we check "require-work-tree" and then "cd-to-toplevel". I _think_ the original intention when I wrote the command was "we MUST have a work tree, our $(cwd) might not be at the top-level directory of it", and no stronger than that. That check is a very sensible thing to do before doing cd-to-toplevel. We check that the place we would want to go exists, and then go there. But the implementation of require_work_tree we have today is quite different. I don't have energy to dig the history, but currently it says: test "$(git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null)" = true || die "fatal: $0 cannot be used without a working tree." Which is completely bogus. Even though we may happen to be just outside of it right now, we may have a working tree that we can cd_to_toplevel back to. Add a function "require_work_tree_exists" that implements the check this function originally intended (this is so that third-party scripts that rely on the current behaviour do not have to get broken). For now, update _no_ in-tree scripts, not even "git pull", as nobody on the list seems to really care about the above corner case workflow that triggered this. Scripts can be updated after vetting that they do want the "we want to make sure the place we are going to go actually exists" semantics. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-11-23Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanityLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
If the user has exported the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable, the output from "grep" and "egrep" in scripted Porcelains may be different from what they expect. For example, we may want to count number of matching lines, by "grep" piped to "wc -l", and GREP_OPTIONS=-C3 will break such use. The approach taken by this change to address this issue is to protect only our own use of grep/egrep. Because we do not unset it at the beginning of our scripts, hook scripts run from the scripted Porcelains are exposed to the same insanity this environment variable causes when grep/egrep is used to implement logic (e.g. "grep | wc -l"), and it is entirely up to the hook scripts to protect themselves. On the other hand, applypatch-msg hook may want to show offending words in the proposed commit log message using grep to the end user, and the user might want to set GREP_OPTIONS=--color to paint the match more visibly. The approach to protect only our own use without unsetting the environment variable globally will allow this use case. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

In an earlier patch, we introduced SANE_TOOL_PATH that is prepended to user's PATH. This had an unintended consequence of overriding user's private binary directory that typically comes earlier in the PATH to holds even saner commands than whatever comes with the system. For example, a user may have ~/bin that is early in the path and contains a shell script "vi" that launches system's /bin/vi with specific options. Prepending SANE_TOOL_PATH to the PATH that happens to have "vi" in it defeats such customization. This fixes the issue by inserting SANE_TOOL_PATH just before /bin or /usr/bin appears on the PATH.

2008-12-21git-sh-setup: Fix scripts whose PWD is a symlink into a git work-dirLibravatar Marcel M. Cary1-2/+21
I want directories of my working tree to be linked to from various paths on my filesystem where third-party components expect them, both in development and production environments. A build system's install step could solve this, but I develop scripts and web pages that don't need to be built. Git's submodule system could solve this, but we tend to develop, branch, and test those directories all in unison, so one big repository feels more natural. We prefer to edit and commit on the symlinked paths, not the canonical ones, and in that setting, "git pull" fails to find the top-level directory of the repository while other commands work fine. "git pull" fails because POSIX shells have a notion of current working directory that is different from getcwd(). The shell stores this path in PWD. As a result, "cd ../" can be interpreted differently in a shell script than chdir("../") in a C program. The shell interprets "../" by essentially stripping the last textual path component from PWD, whereas C chdir() follows the ".." link in the current directory on the filesystem. When PWD is a symlink, these are different destinations. As a result, Git's C commands find the correct top-level working tree, and shell scripts do not. Changes: * When interpreting a relative upward (../) path in cd_to_toplevel, prepend the cwd without symlinks, given by /bin/pwd * Add tests for cd_to_toplevel and "git pull" in a symlinked directory that failed before this fix, plus contrasting scenarios that already worked Signed-off-by: Marcel M.

If you set OPTIONS_SPEC, git-sh-setups uses git-rev-parse --parseopt automatically. It also diverts usage to re-exec $0 with the -h option as parse-options.c will catch that. If you need git-rev-parse --parseopt to keep the `--` the user may have passed to your command, set OPTIONS_KEEPDASHDASH to a non empty value in your script.
