* jk/pager-with-external-command: support pager.* for external commands
2011-08-19support pager.* for external commandsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
Without this patch, any commands that are not builtin would not respect pager.* config. For example: git config pager.stash false git stash list would still use a pager. With this patch, pager.stash now has an effect. If it is not specified, we will still fall back to pager.log when we invoke "log" from "stash list".

2011-08-09bisect: add support for bisecting bare repositoriesLibravatar Jon Seymour1-1/+1
This enhances the support for bisecting history in bare repositories. The "git bisect" command no longer needs to be run inside a repository with a working tree; it defaults to --no-checkout when run in a bare repository. Two tests are included to demonstrate this behaviour.

2011-07-06ref namespaces: infrastructureLibravatar Josh Triplett1-2/+16
Add support for dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple namespaces, each of which can have its own branches, tags, and HEAD. Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs to operations such as git-gc. Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when storing multiple branches of the same source. The alternates mechanism provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do. To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to the namespace. For each ref namespace, git stores the corresponding refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/. For example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/. You can also specify namespaces via the --namespace option to git. Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/. This makes paths in GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the same result as cloning with GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar. It also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts within the refs directory. Add the infrastructure for ref namespaces: handle the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable and --namespace option, and support iterating over refs in a namespace.

2011-05-24handle_options(): do not miscount how many arguments were usedLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+2
The handle_options() function advances the base of the argument array and returns the number of arguments it used. The caller in handle_alias() wants to reallocate the argv array it passes to this function, and attempts to do so by subtracting the returned value to compensate for the change handle_options() makes to the new_argv. But handle_options() did not correctly count when "-c <config=value>" is given, causing a wrong pointer to be passed to realloc(). Fix it by saving the original argv at the beginning of handle_options(), and return the difference between the final value of argv, which will relieve the places that move the array pointer from the additional burden of keeping track of "handled" counter.

2010-08-25Fix 'git log' early pager startup error caseLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-3/+3
We start the pager too early for several git commands, which results in the errors sometimes going to the pager rather than show up as errors. This is often hidden by the fact that we pass in '-X' to less by default, which causes 'less' to exit for small output, but if you do export LESS=-S you can then clearly see the problem by doing git log --prretty which shows the error message ("fatal: unrecognized argument: --prretty") being sent to the pager. This happens for pretty much all git commands that use USE_PAGER, and then check arguments separately. But "git diff" does it too early too (even though it does an explicit setup_pager() call) This only fixes it for the trivial "git log" family case.

2010-08-24pass "git -c foo=bar" params through environmentLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Git uses the "-c foo=bar" parameters to set a config variable for a single git invocation. We currently do this by making a list in the current process and consulting that list in git_config. This works fine for built-ins, but the config changes are silently ignored by subprocesses, including dashed externals and invocations to "git config" from shell scripts. This patch instead puts them in an environment variable which we consult when looking at config (both internally and via calls "git config").

In the spirit of v1.4.2-rc3~34^2^2 (Call setup_git_directory() much earlier, 2006-07-28), let run_builtin() take care of searching for a repository for built-ins that want to make use of one if present.

This state is global anyway (since the cwd is), even if it is not currently tracked that way. Letting these values persist means there is more flexibility in deciding when to run setup.

73e25e7c (git --paginate: do not commit pager choice too early, 2010-06-26) failed to take some cases into account. 1b. Builtins that do not use RUN_SETUP (like git config) do not find GIT_DIR set correctly when the pager is launched from run_builtin(). So the core.pager configuration is not honored from subdirectories of the toplevel for them. 4a. External git commands (like git request-pull) relied on the early pager launch to take care of handling the -p option. Ever since 73e25e7c, they do not honor the -p option at all. 4b. Commands invoked through ! aliases (like ls) were also relying on the early pager launch. Fix (4a) by launching the pager (if requested) before running such a “dashed external”. For simplicity, this still does not search for a .git directory before running the external command; when run from a subdirectory of the toplevel, therefore, the “[core] pager” configuration is still not honored. Fix (4b) by launching pager if requested before carrying out such an alias. Actually doing this has no effect, since the pager (if any) would have already been launched in a failed attempt to try a dashed external first. The choice-of-pager-not-honored-from- subdirectory bug still applies here, too. (1b) is not a regression. There is no need to fix it yet. Noticed by Junio.

2010-06-28git --paginate: do not commit pager choice too earlyLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
When git is passed the --paginate option, starting up a pager requires deciding what pager to start, which requires access to the core.pager configuration. At the relevant moment, the repository has not been searched for yet. Attempting to access the configuration at this point results in git_dir being set to .git [*], which is almost certainly not what was wanted. In particular, when run from a subdirectory of the toplevel, git --paginate does not respect the core.pager setting from the current repository. [*] unless GIT_DIR or GIT_CONFIG is set So delay the pager startup when possible: 1. run_argv() already commits pager choice inside run_builtin() if a command is found. For commands that use RUN_SETUP, waiting until then fixes the problem described above: once git knows where to look, it happily respects the core.pager setting. 2. list_common_cmds_help() prints out 29 lines and exits. This can benefit from pagination, so we need to commit the pager choice before writing this output. Luckily ‘git’ without subcommand has no other reason to access a repository, so it would be intuitive to ignore repository-local configuration in this case. Simpler for now to choose a pager using the funny code that notices a repository that happens to be at .git. That this accesses a repository when it is very convenient to is a bug but not an important one. 3. help_unknown_cmd() prints out a few lines to stderr. It is not important to paginate this, so don’t.

2010-06-13grep: Add the option '--open-files-in-pager'Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
This adds an option to open the matching files in the pager, and if the pager happens to be "less" (or "vi") and there is only one grep pattern, it also jumps to the first match right away. The short option was chose as '-O' to avoid clashes with GNU grep's options (as suggested by Junio). So, 'git grep -O abc' is a short form for 'less +/abc $(grep -l abc)' except that it works also with spaces in file names, and it does not start the pager if there was no matching file.
