2007-02-25merge-recursive: fix longstanding bug in merging symlinksLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Commit 3af244ca added unlink(2) before running symlink(2) to update the working tree with the merge result, but it was unlinking a wrong path. This resulted in loss of the path pointed by a symlink. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-02-05Use pretend_sha1_file() in git-blame and git-merge-recursive.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
git-merge-recursive wants an null tree as the fake merge base while producing the merge result tree. The null tree does not have to be written out in the object store as it won't be part of the result, and it is a prime example for using the new pretend_sha1_file() function. git-blame needs to register an arbitrary data to in-core index while annotating a working tree file (or standard input), but git-blame is a read-only application and the user of it could even lack the privilege to write into the object store; it is another good example for pretend_sha1_file().

2007-02-03Keep untracked files not involved in a merge.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+1
My earlier fix (8371234e) to delete renamed tracked files from the working directory also caused merge-recursive to delete untracked files that were in the working directory. The problem here is merge-recursive is deleting the working directory file without regard for which branch it was associated with. What we really want to do during a merge is to only delete files that were renamed by the branch we are merging into the current branch, and that are still tracked by the current branch. These files definitely don't belong in the working directory anymore. Anything else is either a merge conflict (already handled in other parts of the code) or a file that is untracked by the current branch and thus is not even participating in the merge. Its this latter class that must be left alone. For this fix to work we are now assuming that the first non-base argument passed to git-merge-recursive always corresponds to the working directory. This is already true for all in-tree callers of merge-recursive. This assumption is also supported by the long time usage message of "<base> ... -- <head> <remote>", where "<head>" is implied to be HEAD, which is generally assumed to be the current tree-ish.

2007-01-14Convert output messages in merge-recursive to past tense.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-18/+18
Now that we are showing the output messages for verbosity levels <5 after all actions have been performed (due to the progress meter running during the actions) it can be confusing to see messages in the present tense when the user is looking at a '100% done' message right above them. Converting the messages to past tense will appear more correct in this case, and shouldn't affect a developer who is debugging the application and running it at a verbosity level >=5.

2007-01-14Display a progress meter during merge-recursive.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-7/+66
Because large merges on slow systems can take up to a minute to execute we should try to keep the user entertained with a progress meter to let them know how far we have progressed through the current merge. The progress meter considers each entry in the in-memory index to be a unit, which means a single recursive merge will double the number of units in the progress meter. Files which are unmerged after the 3-way tree merge are also considered a unit within the progress meter. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-01-14Enable output buffering in merge-recursive.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+39
Buffering all message output until a merge invocation is complete is necessary to prevent intereferring with a progress meter that would indicate the number of files completely merged, and how many remain. This change does not introduce a progress meter, but merely lays the groundwork to buffer the output. To aid debugging output buffering is only enabled if verbosity is lower than 5. When using verbosity levels above 5 the user is probably debugging the merge program itself and does not want to see the output delayed, especially if they are stepping through portions of the code in a debugger.

2007-01-14Remove unnecessary call_depth parameter in merge-recursive.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-9/+7
Because the output_indent always matches the call_depth value there is no reason to pass around the call_depth to the merge function during each recursive invocation. This is a simple refactoring that will make the code easier to follow later on as I start to add output verbosity controls. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

This revamps the merge-recursive implementation following the outline in: Message-ID: <7v8xgileza.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> There is no need to write out the index until the very end just once from merge-recursive.

2007-01-10Speed-up recursive by flushing index only once for all entriesLibravatar Alex Riesen1-5/+2
The merge-recursive implementation in C inherited the invariant that the on-file index file is written out and later read back after any index operations and writing trees from the original Python implementation. But it was only because the original implementation worked at the scripting level. There is no need to write out the index file after handling every path.

We have a number of badly checked write() calls. Often we are expecting write() to write exactly the size we requested or fail, this fails to handle interrupts or short writes. Switch to using the new write_in_full(). Otherwise we at a minimum need to check for EINTR and EAGAIN, where this is appropriate use xwrite().

2006-12-28Allow merging bare trees in merge-recursive.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+3
To support wider use cases, such as from within `git am -3`, the merge-recursive utility needs to accept not just commit-ish but also tree-ish as arguments on its command line. If given a tree-ish then merge-recursive will create a virtual commit wrapping it, with the subject of the commit set to the best name we can derive for that tree, which is either the command line string (probably the SHA1), or whatever string appears in GITHEAD_*.

2006-12-23Display 'theirs' branch name when possible in merge.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+16
Displaying the SHA1 of 'their' branch (the branch being merged into the current branch) is not nearly as friendly as just displaying the name of that branch, especially if that branch is already local to this repository. git-merge now sets the environment variable 'GITHEAD_%(sha1)=%(name)' for each argument it gets passed, making the actual input name that resolved to the commit '%(sha1)' easily available to the invoked merge strategy. git-merge-recursive makes use of these environment variables when they are available by using '%(name)' whenever it outputs the commit identification rather than '%(sha1)'. This is most obvious in the conflict hunks created by xdl_merge: $ git mege sideb~1 <<<<<<< HEAD:INSTALL Good! ======= Oops. >>>>>>> sideb~1:INSTALL [jc: adjusted a test script and a minor constness glitch.] Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include system header files. (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and xdelta code are exempt from the following rules; (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h, builtin.h, pkt-line.h); (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h" need not be included in individual C source files. (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem specific header files (e.g. expat.h). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-12-11Make sure the empty tree exists when needed in merge-recursive.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+1
There are some baseless merge cases where git-merge-recursive will try to compare one of the branches against the empty tree. However most projects won't have the empty tree object in their object database as Git does not normally create empty tree objects. If the empty tree object is missing then the merge process will die, as it cannot load the object from the database. The error message may make the user think that their database is corrupt when its actually not. So instead we should just create the empty tree object whenever it is needed. If the object already exists as a loose object then no harm done. Otherwise that loose object will be pruned away later by either git-prune or git-prune-packed.

This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them from memory location to memory location, much as the introduction of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion. A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*. This is a reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char* and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*.
