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
|
|
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.

Some shells do not behave correctly when IFS is unset; work it
around by explicitly setting it to the default value.
* jc/maint-fbsd-sh-ifs-workaround:
sh-setup: work around "unset IFS" bug in some shells
|
|
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
...
IFS=$oIFS
while forgetting that the original IFS might be unset (which can be
coded but would be more involved).

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.
This patch provides a more flexible interface which will
parse multiple idents from a commit provide on stdin. We can
easily use it as a building block for the current function
to retain compatibility.

When the user exports a non-default IFS without HT, scripts that

Many scripted Porcelains rely on being able to split words at the
default $IFS characters, i.e. SP, HT and LF. If the user exports a
non-default IFS to the environment, what they read from plumbing
commands such as ls-files that use HT to delimit fields may not be
split in the way we expect.
Protect outselves by resetting it, just like we do so against CDPATH
exported to the environment.

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.

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.

The pagination functionality in git am has some problems:
- It does not check if stdout is a tty, so it always paginates.
- If $GIT_PAGER uses any environment variables, they are being
ignored, since it does not run $GIT_PAGER through eval.
- If $GIT_PAGER is set to the empty string, instead of passing
output through to stdout, it tries to run $dotest/patch.

Some scripts are expected to be sourced instead of executed on their own.
Avoid some confusion by not marking them executable.
The executable bit was confusing the valgrind support of our test scripts,
which assumed that any executable without a #!-line should be intercepted
and run through valgrind. So during valgrind-enabled tests, any script
sourcing these files actually sourced the valgrind interception script
instead.

Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity
mergetool--lib: simplify guess_merge_tool()
Conflicts:
git-instaweb.sh
|
|
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.

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.

Some platforms (like SunOS and family) have kept their common binaries at
some historical moment in time, and introduced new binaries with modern
features in a special location like /usr/xpg4/bin or /usr/ucb. Some of the
features provided by these modern binaries are expected and required by git.
If the featureful binaries are not in the users path, then git could end up
using the less featureful binary and fail.
So provide a mechanism to prepend elements to the users PATH at runtime so
the modern binaries will be found.

In cd_to_toplevel, instead of 'cd $(unset PWD; /bin/pwd)/$path'
use 'cd -P $path'. The "-P" option yields a desirable similarity to
C chdir.
While the "-P" option may be slightly less commonly supported than
/bin/pwd, it is more concise, better tested, and less error prone.
I've already added the 'unset PWD' to fix the /bin/pwd solution on
BSD; there may be more edge cases out there.
This still passes all the same test cases in t5521-pull-symlink.sh and

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
