2011-10-05Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argumentLibravatar Michael Haggerty1-2/+2
Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern"). This is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and "refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other. Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.

It probably is not such a good idea to use ":/<pattern>" to specify which commit to merge, as ":/<pattern>" can often hit unexpected commits, but somebody tried it and got a nonsense error message: fatal: ':/Foo bar' does not point to a commit So here is a for-the-sake-of-consistency update that is fairly useless that allows users to carefully try not shooting in the foot.

2011-05-10fix overslow :/no-such-string-ever-existed diagnosticsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+9
"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 behaviour based on this variable do. On my box, the command spends ~1.8 seconds without the patch to make the report; with the patch it spends ~1.12 seconds. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-05-10fix overstrict :<path> diagnosisLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Given "git log :", we get a disambiguation message that tries to be helpful and yet totally misses the point, i.e. $ git log : fatal: Path '' does not exist (neither on disk nor in the index). $ git log :/ fatal: Path '/' exists on disk, but not in the index. An empty path nor anything that begins with '/' cannot possibly in the index, and it is wrong to guess that the user might have meant to access such an index entry. It should yield the same error message as "git log '*.c'", i.e. $ git log '*.c' fatal: ambiguous argument '*.c': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

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.

The parser tried to clean up the object flags it used while finding commits with matching string, but was not doing a very good job at it.

The mask bits given to pop_most_recent_commit(&list, MASK) means "I have already been on the list to be processed, so please do not place me again even if I am found to be a parent of some other commit on the list."

2010-02-16dwim_ref: fix dangling symref warningLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+1
If we encounter a symref that is dangling, in most cases we will warn about it. The one exception is a dangling HEAD, as that indicates a branch yet to be born. However, the check in dwim_ref was not quite right. If we were fed something like "HEAD^0" we would try to resolve "HEAD", see that it is dangling, and then check whether the _original_ string we got was "HEAD" (which it wasn't in this case). And that makes no sense; the dangling thing we found was not "HEAD^0" but rather "HEAD". Fixing this squelches a scary warning from "submodule summary HEAD" (and consequently "git status" with status.submodulesummary set) in an empty repo, as the submodule script calls "git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD^0".

2010-01-26approxidate_careful() reports errorneous date stringLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
For a long time, the time based reflog syntax (e.g. master@{yesterday}) didn't complain when the "human readable" timestamp was misspelled, as the underlying mechanism tried to be as lenient as possible. The funny thing was that parsing of "@{now}" even relied on the fact that anything not recognized by the machinery returned the current timestamp. Introduce approxidate_careful() that takes an optional pointer to an integer, that gets assigned 1 when the input does not make sense as a timestamp. As I am too lazy to fix all the callers that use approxidate(), most of the callers do not take advantage of the error checking, but convert the code to parse reflog to use it as a demonstration.

2010-01-20Teach @{upstream} syntax to strbuf_branchanme()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-42/+74
This teaches @{upstream} syntax to interpret_branch_name(), instead of dwim_ref() machinery. There are places in git UI that behaves differently when you give a local branch name and when you give an extended SHA-1 expression that evaluates to the commit object name at the tip of the branch. The intent is that the special syntax such as @{-1} can stand in as if the user spelled the name of the branch in such places. The name of the branch "frotz" to switch to ("git checkout frotz"), and the name of the branch "nitfol" to fork a new branch "frotz" from ("git checkout -b frotz nitfol"), are examples of such places. These places take only the name of the branch (e.g. "frotz"), and they are supposed to act differently to an equivalent refname (e.g. "refs/heads/frotz"), so hooking the @{upstream} and @{-N} syntax to dwim_ref() is insufficient when we want to deal with cases a local branch is forked from another local branch and use "forked@{upstream}" to name the forkee branch. The "upstream" syntax "forked@{u}" is to specify the ref that "forked" is configured to merge with, and most often the forkee is a remote tracking branch, not a local branch. We cannot simply return a local branch name, but that does not necessarily mean we have to returns the full refname (e.g. refs/remotes/origin/frotz, when returning origin/frotz is enough). This update calls shorten_unambiguous_ref() to do so. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-10-18"checkout A...B" switches to the merge base between A and BLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+42
When flipping commits around on topic branches, I often end up doing this sequence: * Run "log --oneline next..jc/frotz" to find out the first commit on 'jc/frotz' branch not yet merged to 'next'; * Run "checkout $that_commit^" to detach HEAD to the parent of it; * Rebuild the series on top of that commit; and * "show-branch jc/frotz HEAD" and "diff jc/frotz HEAD" to verify. Introduce a new syntax to "git checkout" to name the commit to switch to, to make the first two steps easier. When the branch to switch to is specified as A...B (you can omit either A or B but not both, and HEAD is used instead of the omitted side), the merge base between these two commits are computed, and if there is one unique one, we detach the HEAD at that commit. With this, I can say "checkout next...jc/frotz". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Plus, the strbuf_release() negates the non-zero hint we initially gave to strbuf_init() just above these lines.
