2005-06-24git-rev-list: add option to list all objects (not just commits)Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+91
When you do git-rev-list --objects $(git-rev-parse HEAD^..HEAD) it now lists not only the "commit difference" between the parent of HEAD and HEAD itself (which is normally just the parent, but in the case of a merge will be all the newly merged commits), but also all the new tree and blob objects that weren't in the original. NOTE! It doesn't walk all the way to the root, so it doesn't do a full object search in the full old history. Instead, it will only look as far back in the history as it needs to resolve the commits. Thus, if the commit reverts a blob (or tree) back to a state much further back in history, we may end up listing some blobs (or trees) as "new" even though they exist further back. Regardless, the list of objects will be a superset (usually exact) list of objects needed to go from the beginning commit to ending commit. As a particularly obvious special case, git-rev-list --objects HEAD will end up listing every single object that is reachable from the HEAD commit. Side note: the objects are sorted by "recency", with commits first.
2005-06-19[PATCH] Fix for --merge-order, --max-age interaction issueLibravatar Jon Seymour1-2/+11
This patch fixes a problem reported by Paul Mackerras regarding the interaction of the --merge-order and --max-age switches of git-rev-list. This patch applies to the current Linus HEAD. A cleaner fix for the same problem in my current HEAD will follow later. With this change, --merge-order produces the same result as no --merge-order on the linux-2.6 git repository, to wit: $> git-rev-list --max-age=1116330140 bcfff0b471a60df350338bcd727fc9b8a6aa54b2 | wc -l 655 $> git-rev-list --merge-order --max-age=1116330140 bcfff0b471a60df350338bcd727fc9b8a6aa54b2 | wc -l 655 Signed-off-by: Jon Seymour <jon.seymour@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

output If b is reachable from a, then: git-rev-list a b argument would print one of the commits twice. This patch fixes that problem. A previous problem fixed it for the --merge-order switch. Signed-off-by: Jon Seymour <jon.seymour@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-18Avoid warning about function without return.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
Strangely, this warning only shows up when not compiling with "-O2", which is why I didn't see it originally.
2005-06-17git-rev-list: add "--bisect" flag to find the "halfway" pointLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+80
This is useful for doing binary searching for problems. You start with a known good and known bad point, and you then test the "halfway" point in between: git-rev-list --bisect bad ^good and you test that. If that one tests good, you now still have a known bad case, but two known good points, and you can bisect again: git-rev-list --bisect bad ^good1 ^good2 and test that point. If that point is bad, you now use that as your known-bad starting point: git-rev-list --bisect newbad ^good1 ^good2 and basically at every iteration you shrink your list of commits by half: you're binary searching for the point where the troubles started, even though there isn't a nice linear ordering.
2005-06-08[PATCH] Tidy up some rev-list-related stuffLibravatar Petr Baudis1-5/+1
This patch tidies up the git-rev-list documentation and epoch.c, which are in severe clash with the unwritten coding style now, and quite unreadable. It also fixes up compile failures with older compilers due to variable declarations after code. The patch mostly wraps lines before or on the 80th column, removes plenty of superfluous empty lines and changes comments from // to /* */.

2005-06-06[PATCH] Modify git-rev-list to linearise the commit history in merge order.Libravatar jon@blackcubes.dyndns.org1-14/+67
This patch linearises the GIT commit history graph into merge order which is defined by invariants specified in Documentation/git-rev-list.txt. The linearisation produced by this patch is superior in an objective sense to that produced by the existing git-rev-list implementation in that the linearisation produced is guaranteed to have the minimum number of discontinuities, where a discontinuity is defined as an adjacent pair of commits in the output list which are not related in a direct child-parent relationship. With this patch a graph like this: a4 --- | \ \ | b4 | |/ | | a3 | | | | | a2 | | | | c3 | | | | | c2 | b3 | | | /| | b2 | | | c1 | | / | b1 a1 | | | a0 | | / root Sorts like this: = a4 | c3 | c2 | c1 ^ b4 | b3 | b2 | b1 ^ a3 | a2 | a1 | a0 = root Instead of this: = a4 | c3 ^ b4 | a3 ^ c2 ^ b3 ^ a2 ^ b2 ^ c1 ^ a1 ^ b1 ^ a0 = root A test script, t/t6000-rev-list.sh, includes a test which demonstrates that the linearisation produced by --merge-order has less discontinuities than the linearisation produced by git-rev-list without the --merge-order flag specified. To see this, do the following: cd t ./t6000-rev-list.sh cd trash cat actual-default-order cat actual-merge-order The existing behaviour of git-rev-list is preserved, by default. To obtain the modified behaviour, specify --merge-order or --merge-order --show-breaks on the command line. This version of the patch has been tested on the git repository and also on the linux-2.6 repository and has reasonable performance on both - ~50-100% slower than the original algorithm. This version of the patch has incorporated a functional equivalent of the Linus' output limiting algorithm into the merge-order algorithm itself. This operates per the notes associated with Linus' commit 337cb3fb8da45f10fe9a0c3cf571600f55ead2ce. This version has incorporated Linus' feedback regarding proposed changes to rev-list.c. (see: [PATCH] Factor out filtering in rev-list.c) This version has improved the way sort_first_epoch marks commits as uninteresting.

2005-06-05pretty_print_commit: add different formatsLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-10/+20
You can ask to print out "raw" format (full headers, full body), "medium" format (author and date, full body) or "short" format (author only, condensed body). Use "git-rev-list --pretty=short HEAD | less -S" for an example.
2005-06-04git-rev-list: allow arbitrary head selections, use git-rev-tree syntaxLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-24/+21
This makes git-rev-list use the same command line syntax to mark the commits as git-rev-tree does, and instead of just allowing a start and end commit, it allows an arbitrary list of "interesting" and "uninteresting" commits. For example, imagine that you had three branches (a, b and c) that you are interested in, but you don't want to see stuff that already exists in another persons three releases (x, y and z). You can do git-rev-list a b c ^x ^y ^z (order doesn't matter, btw - feel free to put the uninteresting ones first or otherwise swithc them around), and it will show all the commits that are reachable from a/b/c but not reachable from x/y/z. The old syntax "git-rev-list start end" would not be written as "git-rev-list start ^end", or "git-rev-list ^end start". There's no limit to the number of heads you can specify (unlike git-rev-tree, which can handle a maximum of 16 heads).
2005-06-02git-rev-list: split out commit limiting from main() too.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-17/+21
Ok, now I'm happier.
2005-06-02git-rev-list: factor out the commit printing from "main()"Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-36/+50
Functions that do many things are bad. We should basically just parse the arguments in main(). We're not quite there yet, but it's a step in the right direction.
2005-06-01git-rev-list: add "--pretty" command line optionLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-5/+22
That pretty-prints the resulting commit messages, so git-rev-list --pretty HEAD v2.6.12-rc5 | less -S basically ends up being a log of the changes between -rc5 and current head. It uses the pretty-printing helper function I just extracted from diff-tree.c.
2005-05-30git-rev-list: add "--parents" command line flagLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+14
It makes rev-list show the list of parents, the same way git-rev-tree does (but without the expense).
2005-05-30git-rev-list: use proper lazy reachability analysisLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-5/+50
This mean sthat you can give a beginning/end pair to git-rev-list, and it will show all entries that are reachable from the beginning but not the end. For example git-rev-list v2.6.12-rc5 v2.6.12-rc4 shows all commits that are in -rc5 but are not in -rc4.
2005-05-25git-rev-list: add "end" commit and "--header" flagLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-15/+42
The "end" commit is just faking it right now, it's sorting things purely by date, so this is _not_ a reachability analysis. Some day. The "--header" flag causes the commit message to be printed out, with a NUL character separator after it for parseability. This allows you to do things like use "grep -z" to grep for certain authors etc.

gitweb.cgi's default view is the log of the last day and git-rev-list can stop crawling the whole repo if we have all our data to display in the browser. Also the rss-feed query needs only the last 20 items.

2005-05-01Add "get_sha1()" helper function.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
This allows the programs to use various simplified versions of the SHA1 names, eg just say "HEAD" for the SHA1 pointed to by the .git/HEAD file etc. For example, this commit has been done with git-commit-tree $(git-write-tree) -p HEAD instead of the traditional "$(cat .git/HEAD)" syntax.
2005-04-23[PATCH] Allow multiple date-ordered listsLibravatar Daniel Barkalow1-1/+1
