If you were on 'frotz' branch before you checked out your current
branch, "git merge @{-1}~22" means the same as "git merge frotz~22".
The strbuf_branchname() function, when interpret_branch_name() gives
up resolving "@{-1}~22" fully, returns "frotz" and tells the caller
that it only resolved "@{-1}" part of the input, mistakes this as a
total failure, and appends the whole thing to the result, yielding
"frotz@{-1}~22", which does not make any sense.
Inspect the return value from interpret_branch_name() a bit more
carefully. When it errored out without consuming anything, we will
get -1 and we should return the whole thing. Otherwise, we should
append the remainder (i.e. "~22" in the earlier example) to the
partially resolved name (i.e. "frotz").
The test suite adds enough number of checkout to make @{-12} in the
last test in t0100 that tried to check "we haven't flipped branches
that many times" error case succeed; raise the number to a hundred.

There was no good way to ask "I have a random string that came from
outside world. I want to turn it into a 40-hex object name while
making sure such an object exists". A new peeling suffix ^{object}
can be used for that purpose, together with "rev-parse --verify".
* jc/sha1-name-object-peeler:
peel_onion(): teach $foo^{object} peeler
peel_onion: disambiguate to favor tree-ish when we know we want a tree-ish
|
|
A string that names an object can be suffixed with ^{type} peeler to
say "I have this object name; peel it until you get this type. If
you cannot do so, it is an error". v1.8.2^{commit} asks for a commit
that is pointed at an annotated tag v1.8.2; v1.8.2^{tree} unwraps it
further to the top-level tree object. A special suffix ^{} (i.e. no
type specified) means "I do not care what it unwraps to; just peel
annotated tag until you get something that is not a tag".
When you have a random user-supplied string, you can turn it to a
bare 40-hex object name, and cause it to error out if such an object
does not exist, with:
git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{}"
for most objects, but this does not yield the tag object name when
$userstring refers to an annotated tag.
Introduce a new suffix, ^{object}, that only makes sure the given
name refers to an existing object. Then
git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{object}"
becomes a way to make sure $userstring refers to an existing object.
This is necessary because the plumbing "rev-parse --verify" is only
about "make sure the argument is something we can feed to get_sha1()
and turn it into a raw 20-byte object name SHA-1" and is not about
"make sure that 20-byte object name SHA-1 refers to an object that
exists in our object store". When the given $userstring is already
a 40-hex, by definition "rev-parse --verify $userstring" can turn it
into a raw 20-byte object name. With "$userstring^{object}", we can
make sure that the 40-hex string names an object that exists in our
object store before "--verify" kicks in.

The function already knows when interpreting $foo^{commit} to tell
the underlying get_sha1_1() to expect a commit-ish while evaluating
$foo. Teach it to do the same when asked for $foo^{tree}; we are
expecting a tree-ish and $foo should be disambiguated in favor of a
tree-ish, discarding a possible ambiguous match with a blob object.

"git checkout -" is a short-hand for "git checkout @{-1}" and the
"@{nth}" notation for a negative number is to find nth previous
checkout in the reflog of the HEAD to determine the name of the
branch the user was on. We would want to find the nth most recent
reflog entry that matches "checkout: moving from X to Y" for this.
Unfortunately, reflog is implemented as an append-only file, and the
API to iterate over its entries, for_each_reflog_ent(), reads the
file in order, giving the entries from the oldest to newer. For the
purpose of finding nth most recent one, this API forces us to record
the last n entries in a rotating buffer and give the result out only
after we read everything. To optimize for a common case of finding
the nth most recent one for a small value of n, we also have a side
API for_each_recent_reflog_ent() that starts reading near the end of
the file, but it still has to read the entries in the "wrong" order.
The implementation of understanding @{-1} uses this interface.
This all becomes unnecessary if we add an API to let us iterate over
reflog entries in the reverse order, from the newest to older.

This teaches the revision parser that in "$name:$path" (used for a
blob object name), "$name" must be a tree-ish.
There are many more places where we know what types of objects are
called for. This patch adds support for "commit", "treeish", "tree",
and "blob", which could be used in the following contexts:
- "git apply --build-fake-ancestor" reads the "index" lines from
the patch; they must name blob objects (not even "blob-ish");
- "git commit-tree" reads a tree object name (not "tree-ish"), and
zero or more commit object names (not "committish");
- "git reset $rev" wants a committish; "git reset $rev -- $path"
wants a treeish.
They will come in later patches in the series.

Many callers know that the user meant to name a committish by
syntactical positions where the object name appears. Calling this
function allows the machinery to disambiguate shorter-than-unique
abbreviated object names between committish and others.
Note that this does NOT error out when the named object is not a
committish. It is merely to give a hint to the disambiguation
machinery.

In finish_object_disambiguation(), if the candidate hasn't been
checked, there are two cases:
- It is the first and only object that match the prefix; or
- It replaced another object that matched the prefix but that
object did not satisfy ds->fn() callback.
And the former case we set ds->candidate_ok to true without doing
anything else, while for the latter we check the candidate, which
may set ds->candidate_ok to false.
At this point in the code, ds->candidate_ok can be false only if
this last-round check found that the candidate does not pass the
check, because the state after update_candidates() returns cannot
satisfy
!ds->ambiguous && ds->candidate_exists && ds->candidate_checked
and !ds->canidate_ok at the same time.
Hence, when we execute this "return", we know we have seen more than
one object that match the prefix (and none of them satisfied ds->fn),
meaning that we should say "the short name is ambiguous", not "there
is no object that matches the prefix".

We try to find zero, one or more matches from loose objects and
packed objects independently and then decide if the given short
object name is unique across them.
Instead, introduce a "struct disambiguate_state" that keeps track of
what we have found so far, that can be one of:
- We have seen one object that _could_ be what we are looking for;
- We have also checked that object for additional constraints (if any),
and found that the object satisfies it;
- We have also checked that object for additional constraints (if any),
and found that the object does not satisfy it; or
- We have seen more than one objects that satisfy the constraints.
and pass it to the enumeration functions for loose and packed
objects. The disambiguation state can optionally take a callback
function that takes a candidate object name and reports if the
object satisifies additional criteria (e.g. when the caller knows
that the short name must refer to a commit, this mechanism can be
used to check the type of the given object).
Compared to the earlier attempt, this round avoids the optional
check if there is only one candidate that matches the short name in
the first place.

"git diff COPYING HEAD:COPYING" gave a nonsense error message that
claimed that the treeish HEAD did not have COPYING in it.
|
|
diagnose_invalid_sha1_path() is meant to be called to diagnose a
misspelt <treeish>:<pathname> when <pathname> does not exist in
<treeish>. However, the code may call it if <treeish>:<pathname> is
invalid (which triggers another call with only_to_die == 1), but for
another reason. This happens when calling e.g.
git log existing-file HEAD:existing-file
because existing-file is a path and not a revision, the code
verifies that the arguments that follow to be paths. This leads to
an incorrect message like "existing-file does not exist in HEAD",
even though the path exists in HEAD.
Check that the search for <pathname> in <treeish> fails before
triggering the diagnosis.

If the branch configured as upstream didn't have a local tracking
branch, git said "Upstream branch not found". We can be more helpful,
and separate the cases when upstream is not configured, and when it is
configured, but the upstream branch is not tracked in a local branch.
The following configuration leads to the second scenario:
[remote "origin"]
url = ...
fetch = refs/heads/master
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
'git pull' will work on master, but master@{upstream} is not defined.

When using @{u} or @{upstream} it is common to omit the branch name,
implying current branch. If the upstream is not configured, the error
message was "No upstream branch found for ''".
When resolving '@{u}', branch_get() is called, which almost always
returns a description of a branch. This allows us to use a branch name
in the error message, even if the user said something like '@{u}'.
The only case when branch_get() returns NULL is when HEAD points to so
something which is not a branch. Of course this also means that no
upstream is configured, but it is better to directly say that HEAD
does not point to a branch.

"git cmd :/no-such-string-ever-existed" runs an extra round of get_sha1()
since 009fee4 (Detailed diagnosis when parsing an object name fails.,
2009-12-07). Once without error diagnosis to see there is no commit with
such a string in the log message (hence "it cannot be a ref"), and after
seeing that :/no-such-string-ever-existed is not a filename (hence "it
cannot be a path, either"), another time to give "better diagnosis".
The thing is, the second time it runs, we already know that traversing the
history all the way down to the root will _not_ find any matching commit.
Rename misguided "gently" parameter, which is turned off _only_ when the
"detailed diagnosis" codepath knows that it cannot be a ref and making the
call only for the caller to die with a message. Flip its meaning (and
adjust the callers) and call it "only_to_die", which is not a great name,
but it describes far more clearly what the codepaths that switches their

This is trying to free only what we ourselves read (as opposed to what
we borrowed from commit->buffer) but do so lazily only to work around
the fact that the code has many irregular exit points, and doing it right
makes it necessary to call free() from many different places in the loop.
Rewrite the structure of the code inside the loop so that the variable
has to live within a single iteration, ever. This should make the logic
easier to follow as well.
Also we didn't free a temporary commit list we kept to hold the original
set of commits. Free it.
