2013-02-23git-commit: populate the edit buffer with 2 blank lines before s-o-bLibravatar Brandon Casey1-2/+25
'commit -s' populates the edit buffer with a blank line before the Signed-off-by line, to allow the user to immediately start typing the log message. But commit 33f2f9ab removed this space, forcing the user to first push the Signed-off-by line down to open a place to type the log message. Fix this regression and let's ensure that the Signed-off-by line is preceded by two blank lines, instead of just one, to hint that something should be filled in, and that a blank line should separate it from the body and the Signed-off-by line.

2013-02-12sequencer.c: require a conforming footer to be preceded by a blank lineLibravatar Brandon Casey1-1/+5
Currently, append_signoff() performs a search for the last line of the commit buffer by searching back from the end until it hits a newline. If it reaches the beginning of the buffer without finding a newline, that means either the commit message was empty, or there was only one line in it. In this case, append_signoff will skip the call to has_conforming_footer since it already knows that it is necessary to append a newline before appending the sob. Let's perform this function inside of has_conforming_footer where it appropriately belongs and generalize it so that we require that the footer paragraph be an actual distinct paragraph separated by a blank line.

2013-02-12commit, cherry-pick -s: remove broken support for multiline rfc2822 fieldsLibravatar Brandon Casey1-6/+0
Starting with c1e01b0c (commit: More generous accepting of RFC-2822 footer lines, 2009-10-28), "git commit -s" carefully parses the last paragraph of each commit message to check if it consists only of RFC2822-style headers, in which case the signoff will be added as a new line in the same list: Reported-by: Reporter <reporter@example.com> Signed-off-by: Author <author@example.com> Acked-by: Lieutenant <lt@example.com> It even included support for accepting indented continuation lines for multiline fields. Unfortunately the multiline field support is broken because it checks whether buf[k] (the first character of the *next* line) instead of buf[i] is a whitespace character. The result is that any footer with a continuation line is not accepted, since the last continuation line neither starts with an RFC2822 field name nor is followed by a continuation line. That this has remained broken for so long is good evidence that nobody actually needed multiline fields. Rip out the broken continuation support. There should be no functional change.

Various codepaths checked if two encoding names are the same using ad-hoc code and some of them ended up asking iconv() to convert between "utf8" and "UTF-8". The former is not a valid way to spell the encoding name, but often people use it by mistake, and we equated them in some but not all codepaths.

2012-11-04reencode_string(): introduce and use same_encoding()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Callers of reencode_string() that re-encodes a string from one encoding to another all used ad-hoc way to bypass the case where the input and the output encodings are the same. Some did strcmp(), some did strcasecmp(), yet some others when converting to UTF-8 used is_encoding_utf8(). Introduce same_encoding() helper function to make these callers use the same logic. Notably, is_encoding_utf8() has a work-around for common misconfiguration to use "utf8" to name UTF-8 encoding, which does not match "UTF-8" hence strcasecmp() would not consider the same.

In case 'git cherry-pick -s <commit>' failed, the user had to use 'git commit -s' (i.e. state the -s option again), which is easy to forget about.

Also update 'git commit -s', so that in case there is already a relevant Signed-off-by line before the Conflicts: line, it won't add one more at the end of the message.

2012-08-30cherry-pick/revert: respect order of revisions to pickLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-1/+5
When giving multiple individual revisions to cherry-pick or revert, as in 'git cherry-pick A B' or 'git revert B A', one would expect them to be picked/reverted in the order given on the command line. They are instead ordered by their commit timestamp -- in chronological order for "cherry-pick" and in reverse chronological order for "revert". This matches the order in which one would usually give them on the command line, making this bug somewhat hard to notice. Still, it has been reported at least once before [1]. It seems like the chronological sorting happened by accident because the revision walker has traditionally always sorted commits in reverse chronological order when rev_info.no_walk was enabled. In the case of 'git revert B A' where B is newer than A, this sorting is a no-op. For 'git cherry-pick A B', the sorting would reverse the arguments, but because the sequencer also flips the rev_info.reverse flag when picking (as opposed to reverting), the end result is a chronological order. The rev_info.reverse flag was probably flipped so that the revision walker emits B before C in 'git cherry-pick A..C'; that it happened to effectively undo the unexpected sorting done when not walking, was probably a coincidence that allowed this bug to happen at all. Fix the bug by telling the revision walker not to sort the commits when not walking. The only case we want to reverse the order is now when cherry-picking and walking revisions (rev_info.no_walk = 0).

2012-04-24git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits optionLibravatar Neil Horman1-11/+83
The git-cherry-pick --allow-empty command by default only preserves empty commits that were originally empty, i.e only those commits for which <commit>^{tree} and <commit>^^{tree} are equal. By default commits which are non-empty, but were made empty by the inclusion of a prior commit on the current history are filtered out. This option allows us to override that behavior and include redundant commits as empty commits in the change history. Note that this patch changes the default behavior of git cherry-pick slightly. Prior to this patch all commits in a cherry-pick sequence were applied and git commit was run. The implication here was that, if a commit was redundant, and the commit did not trigger the fast forward logic, the git commit operation, and therefore the git cherry-pick operation would fail, displaying the cherry pick advice (i.e. run git commit --allow-empty). With this patch however, such redundant commits are automatically skipped without stopping, unless --keep-redundant-commits is specified, in which case, they are automatically applied as empty commits.

Expose the cherry-picking machinery through a public sequencer_pick_revisions() (renamed from pick_revisions() in builtin/revert.c), so that cherry-picking and reverting are special cases of a general sequencer operation. The cherry-pick builtin is now a thin wrapper that does command-line argument parsing before calling into sequencer_pick_revisions(). In the future, we can write a new "foo" builtin that calls into the sequencer like: memset(&opts, 0, sizeof(opts)); opts.action = REPLAY_FOO; opts.revisions = xmalloc(sizeof(*opts.revs)); parse_args_populate_opts(argc, argv, &opts); init_revisions(opts.revs); sequencer_pick_revisions(&opts); This patch does not intend to make any functional changes.
