2013-04-17cat-file: print tags raw for "cat-file -p"Libravatar Jeff King1-4/+1
When "cat-file -p" prints commits, it shows them in their raw format, since git's format is already human-readable. For tags, however, we print the whole thing raw except for one thing: we convert the timestamp on the tagger line into a human-readable date. This dates all the way back to a0f15fa (Pretty-print tagger dates, 2006-03-01). At that time there was no other way to pretty-print a tag. These days, however, neither of those matters much. The normal way to pretty-print a tag is with "git show", which is much more flexible than "cat-file -p". Commit a0f15fa also built "verify-tag --verbose" (and subsequently "tag -v") around the "cat-file -p" output. However, that behavior was lost in commit 62e09ce (Make git tag a builtin, 2007-07-20), and we went back to printing the raw tag contents. Nobody seems to have noticed the bug since then (and it is arguably a saner behavior anyway, as it shows the actual bytes for which we verified the signature). Let's drop the tagger-date formatting for "cat-file -p". It makes us more consistent with cat-file's commit pretty-printer, and as a bonus, we can drop the hand-rolled tag parsing code in cat-file (which happened to behave inconsistently with the tag pretty-printing code elsewhere). This is a change of output format, so it's possible that some callers could considered this a regression. However, the original behavior was arguably a bug (due to the inconsistency with commits), likely nobody was relying on it (even we do not use it ourselves these days), and anyone relying on the "-p" pretty-printer should be able to expect a change in the output format (i.e., while "cat-file" is plumbing, the output format of "-p" was never guaranteed to be stable).

2008-06-09cat-file --batch / --batch-check: do not exit if hashes are missingLibravatar Lea Wiemann1-3/+21
Previously, cat-file --batch / --batch-check would silently exit if it was passed a non-existent SHA1 on stdin. Now it prints "<SHA1> missing" as in all other cases (and as advertised in the documentation). Note that cat-file --batch-check (but not --batch) will still output "error: unable to find <SHA1>" on stderr if a non-existent SHA1 is passed, but this does not affect parsing its stdout. Also, type <= 0 was previously using the potentially uninitialized type variable (relying on it being 0); it is now being initialized.

2008-06-09t1006-cat-file.sh: typoLibravatar Lea Wiemann1-1/+1
Previously timestamps were removed unconditionally (though this didn't seem to break this test). Now they are only removed if $no_ts is non-empty. Signed-off-by: Lea Wiemann <LeWiemann@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-05-05git-cat-file: Add --batch optionLibravatar Adam Roben1-17/+57
--batch is similar to --batch-check, except that the contents of each object is also printed. The output's form is: <sha1> SP <type> SP <size> LF <contents> LF Signed-off-by: Adam Roben <aroben@apple.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-05-05git-cat-file: Add --batch-check optionLibravatar Adam Roben1-0/+65
This new option allows multiple objects to be specified on stdin. For each object specified, a line of the following form is printed: <sha1> SP <type> SP <size> LF If the object does not exist in the repository, a line of the following form is printed: <object> SP missing LF Signed-off-by: Adam Roben <aroben@apple.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
