2016-12-19Merge branch 'jk/stash-disable-renames-internally'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
When diff.renames configuration is on (and with Git 2.9 and later, it is enabled by default, which made it worse), "git stash" misbehaved if a file is removed and another file with a very similar content is added. * jk/stash-disable-renames-internally: stash: prefer plumbing over git-diff
2016-12-06stash: prefer plumbing over git-diffLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When creating a stash, we need to look at the diff between the working tree and HEAD, and do so using the git-diff porcelain. Because git-diff enables porcelain config like renames by default, this causes at least one problem. The --name-only format will not mention the source side of a rename, meaning we will fail to stash a deletion that is part of a rename. We could fix that case by passing --no-renames, but this is a symptom of a larger problem. We should be using the diff-index plumbing here, which does not have renames enabled by default, and also does not respect any potentially confusing config options.

2016-10-26stash: allow stashes to be referenced by index onlyLibravatar Aaron M Watson1-2/+13
Instead of referencing "stash@{n}" explicitly, make it possible to simply reference as "n". Most users only reference stashes by their position in the stash stack (what I refer to as the "index" here). The syntax for the typical stash (stash@{n}) is slightly annoying and easy to forget, and sometimes difficult to escape properly in a script. Because of this the capability to do things with the stash by simply referencing the index is desirable. This patch includes the superior implementation provided by Øsse Walle (thanks for that), with a slight change to fix a broken test in the test suite. I also merged the test scripts as suggested by Jeff King, and un-wrapped the documentation as suggested by Junio Hamano.

Positional arguments, such as $0, $1, etc, need to be stored on shell variables for use in translatable strings, according to gettext manual [1]. Add git-sh-setup.sh to LOCALIZED_SH variable in Makefile to enable extraction of string marked for translation by xgettext. Source git-sh-i18n in git-sh-setup.sh for gettext support. git-sh-setup.sh is a shell library to be sourced by other shell scripts. In order to avoid other scripts from sourcing git-sh-i18n twice, remove line that sources it from them. Not sourcing git-sh-i18n in any script that uses gettext would lead to failure due to, for instance, gettextln not being found.

2016-05-14always quote shell arguments to test -z/-nLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
In shell code like: test -z $foo test -n $foo that does not quote its arguments, it's easy to think that it is actually looking at the contents of $foo in each case. But if $foo is empty, then "test" does not see any argument at all! The results are quite subtle. POSIX specifies that test's behavior depends on the number of arguments it sees, and if $foo is empty, it sees only one. The behavior in this case is: 1 argument: Exit true (0) if $1 is not null; otherwise, exit false. So in the "-z $foo" case, if $foo is empty, then we check that "-z" is non-null, and it returns success. Which happens to match what we expected. But for "-n $foo", if $foo is empty, we'll see that "-n" is non-null and still return success. That's the opposite of what we intended! Furthermore, if $foo contains whitespace, we'll end up with more than 2 arguments. The results in this case are generally unspecified (unless the first part of $foo happens to be a valid binary operator, in which case the results are specified but certainly not what we intended). And on top of this, even though "test -z $foo" _should_ work for the empty case, some older shells (reportedly ksh88) complain about the missing argument. So let's make sure we consistently quote our variable arguments to "test". After this patch, the results of: git grep 'test -[zn] [^"]' are empty.

A hotfix for the topic already in 'master'. * jk/stash-require-clean-index: Revert "stash: require a clean index to apply"
2015-06-15Revert "stash: require a clean index to apply"Libravatar Jeff King1-2/+0
This reverts commit ed178ef13a26136d86ff4e33bb7b1afb5033f908. That commit was an attempt to improve the safety of applying a stash, because the application process may create conflicted index entries, after which it is hard to restore the original index state. Unfortunately, this hurts some common workflows around "git stash -k", like: git add -p ;# (1) stage set of proposed changes git stash -k ;# (2) get rid of everything else make test ;# (3) make sure proposal is reasonable git stash apply ;# (4) restore original working tree If you "git commit" between steps (3) and (4), then this just works. However, if these steps are part of a pre-commit hook, you don't have that opportunity (you have to restore the original state regardless of whether the tests passed or failed). It's possible that we could provide better tools for this sort of workflow. In particular, even before ed178ef, it could fail with a conflict if there were conflicting hunks in the working tree and index (since the "stash -k" puts the index version into the working tree, and we then attempt to apply the differences between HEAD and the old working tree on top of that). But the fact remains that people have been using it happily for a while, and the safety provided by ed178ef is simply not that great. Let's revert it for now. In the long run, people can work on improving stash for this sort of workflow, but the safety tradeoff is not worth it in the meantime.

2015-05-20stash: complain about unknown flagsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+5
The option parser for git-stash stuffs unknown flags into the $FLAGS variable, where they can be accessed by the individual commands. However, most commands do not even look at these extra flags, leading to unexpected results like this: $ git stash drop --help Dropped refs/stash@{0} (e6cf6d80faf92bb7828f7b60c47fc61c03bd30a1) We should notice the extra flags and bail. Rather than annotate each command to reject a non-empty $FLAGS variable, we can notice that "stash show" is the only command that actually _wants_ arbitrary flags. So we switch the default mode to reject unknown flags, and let stash_show() opt into the feature.

"git stash pop/apply" forgot to make sure that not just the working tree is clean but also the index is clean. The latter is important as a stash application can conflict and the index will be used for conflict resolution. * jk/stash-require-clean-index: stash: require a clean index to apply t3903: avoid applying onto dirty index t3903: stop hard-coding commit sha1s
2015-04-22stash: require a clean index to applyLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
If you have staged contents in your index and run "stash apply", we may hit a conflict and put new entries into the index. Recovering to your original state is difficult at that point, because tools like "git reset --keep" will blow away anything staged. We can make this safer by refusing to apply when there are staged changes. It's possible we could provide better tooling here, as "git stash apply" should be writing only conflicts to the index (so we know that any stage-0 entries are potentially precious). But it is the odd duck; most "mergy" commands will update the index for cleanly merged entries, and it is not worth updating our tooling to support this use case which is unlikely to be of interest (besides which, we would still need to block a dirty index for "stash apply --index", since that case _would_ be ambiguous).

2014-08-07stash: default listing to working-tree diffLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When you list stashes, you can provide arbitrary git-log options to change the display. However, adding just "-p" does nothing, because each stash is actually a merge commit. This implementation detail is easy to forget, leading to confused users who think "-p" is not working. We can make this easier by defaulting to "--first-parent -m", which will show the diff against the working tree. This omits the index portion of the stash entirely, but it's simple and it matches what "git stash show" provides. People who are more clueful about stash's true form can use "--cc" to override the "-m", and the "--first-parent" will then do nothing. For diffs, it only affects non-combined diffs, so "--cc" overrides it. And for the traversal, we are walking the linear reflog anyway, so we do not even care about the parents.

We'd need to revisit it later but "ls-files --killed" needs to be optimized before it happens.
2013-07-01git stash: avoid data loss when "git stash save" kills a directoryLibravatar Petr Baudis1-0/+12
"stash save" is about saving the local change to the working tree, but also about restoring the state of the last commit to the working tree. When a local change is to turn a non-directory to a directory, in order to restore the non-directory, everything in the directory needs to be removed. Which is fine when running "git stash save --include-untracked", but without that option, untracked, newly created files in the directory will have to be discarded, if the state you are restoring to has a non-directory at the same path as the directory. Introduce a safety valve to fail the operation in such case, using the "ls-files --killed" which was designed for this exact purpose. The "stash save" is stopped when untracked files need to be discarded because their leading path ceased to be a directory, and the user is required to pass --force to really have the data removed.

2013-06-17stash: introduce 'git stash store'Libravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-6/+41
save_stash() contains the logic for doing two potentially independent operations; the first is preparing the stash merge commit, and the second is updating the stash ref/ reflog accordingly. While the first operation is abstracted out into a create_stash() for callers to access via 'git stash create', the second one is not. Fix this by factoring out the logic for storing the stash into a store_stash() that callers can access via 'git stash store'. Like create, store is not intended for end user interactive use, but for callers in other scripts. We can simplify the logic in the rebase.autostash feature using this new subcommand.

2012-01-01stash: Don't fail if work dir contains file named 'HEAD'Libravatar Jonathon Mah1-3/+4
When performing a plain "git stash" (without --patch), git-diff would fail with "fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': both revision and filename". The output was piped into git-update-index, masking the failed exit status. The output is now sent to a temporary file (which is cleaned up by existing code), and the exit status is checked. The "HEAD" arg to the git-diff invocation has been disambiguated too, of course. In patch mode, "git stash -p" would fail harmlessly, leaving the working dir untouched. Interactive adding is fine, but the resulting tree was diffed with an ambiguous 'HEAD' argument. Use >foo (no space) when redirecting output. In t3904, checks and operations on each file are in the order they'll appear when interactively staging. In t3905, fix a bug in "stash save --include-untracked -q is quiet": The redirected stdout file was considered untracked, and so was removed from the working directory.

The --include-untracked option acts like the normal "git stash save" but also adds all untracked files in the working directory to the stash and then calls "git clean --force --quiet" to restore the working directory to a pristine state. This is useful for projects that need to run release scripts. With this option, the release scripts can be from the main working directory so one does not have to maintain a "clean" directory in parallel just for releasing. Basically the work-flow becomes: $ git tag release-1.0 $ git stash --include-untracked $ make release $ git clean -f $ git stash pop "git stash" alone is not enough in this case--it leaves untracked files lying around that might mess up a release process that expects everything to be very clean or might let a release succeed that should actually fail (due to a new source file being created that hasn't been committed yet).
