2019-05-07branch: make create_branch accept a merge base revLibravatar Denton Liu1-0/+13
When we ran something like $ git checkout -b test master... it would fail with the message fatal: Not a valid object name: 'master...'. This was caused by the call to `create_branch` where `start_name` is expected to be a valid rev. However, git-checkout allows the branch to be a valid _merge base_ rev (i.e. with a "...") so it was possible for an invalid rev to be passed in. Make `create_branch` accept a merge base rev so that this case does not error out. As a side-effect, teach git-branch how to handle merge base revs as well.

2019-05-07t2018: cleanup in current testLibravatar Denton Liu1-26/+17
Before, in t2018, if do_checkout failed to create `branch2`, the next test-case would run `git branch -D branch2` but then fail because it was expecting `branch2` to exist, even though it doesn't. As a result, an early failure could cause a cascading failure of tests. Make test-case responsible for cleaning up their own branches so that future tests can start with a sane environment.

2019-01-23checkout: fix regression in checkout -b on intitial checkoutLibravatar Ben Peart1-1/+1
When doing a 'checkout -b' do a full checkout including updating the working tree when doing the initial checkout. As the new test involves an filesystem access, do it later in the sequence to give chance to other cheaper tests to leave early. This fixes the regression in behavior caused by fa655d8411 (checkout: optimize "git checkout -b <new_branch>", 2018-08-16).

2019-01-23checkout: add test demonstrating regression with checkout -b on initial commitLibravatar Ben Peart1-0/+9
Commit fa655d8411 (checkout: optimize "git checkout -b <new_branch>", 2018-08-16) introduced an unintentional change in behavior for 'checkout -b' after doing 'clone --no-checkout'. Add a test to demonstrate the changed behavior to be used in a later patch to verify the fix. Signed-off-by: Ben Peart <benpeart@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-06-17tests: use test_i18n* functions to suppress false positivesLibravatar Vasco Almeida1-1/+1
The test functions test_i18ncmp and test_i18ngrep pretend success if run under GETTEXT_POISON. By using those functions to test output which is correctly marked as translatable, enables one to detect if the strings newly marked for translation are from plumbing output. If they are indeed from plumbing, the test would fail, and the string should be unmarked, since it is not seen by users. Thus, it is productive to not have false positives when running the test under GETTEXT_POISON. This commit replaces normal test functions by their i18n aware variants in use-cases know to be correctly marked for translation, suppressing false positives.

2011-11-28Allow checkout -B <current-branch> to update the current branchLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-4/+5
When on master, "git checkout -B master <commit>" is a more natural way to say "git reset --keep <commit>", which was originally invented for the exact purpose of moving to the named commit while keeping the local changes around.

2011-08-22Prevent force-updating of the current branchLibravatar Conrad Irwin1-0/+8
"git branch -M <foo> <current-branch>" allows updating the current branch which HEAD points, without the necessary house-keeping that git reset normally does to make this operation sensible. It also leaves the reflog in a confusing state (you would be warned when trying to read it). "git checkout -B <current branch> <foo>" is also partly vulnerable to this bug; due to inconsistent pre-flight checks it would perform half of its task and then abort just before rewriting the branch. Again this manifested itself as the index file getting out-of-sync with HEAD. "git branch -f" already guarded against this problem, and aborts with a fatal error. Update "git branch -M", "git checkout -B" and "git branch -f" to share the same check before allowing a branch to be created. These prevent you from updating the current branch. We considered suggesting the use of "git reset" in the failure message but concluded that it was not possible to discern what the user was actually trying to do.

* jc/maint-1.7.3-checkout-describe: checkout -b <name>: correctly detect existing branch
2011-06-05checkout -b <name>: correctly detect existing branchLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+11
When create a new branch, we fed "refs/heads/<proposed name>" as a string to get_sha1() and expected it to fail when a branch already exists. The right way to check if a ref exists is to check with resolve_ref(). A naïve solution that might appear attractive but does not work is to forbid slashes in get_describe_name() but that will not work. A describe name is is in the form of "ANYTHING-g<short sha1>", and that ANYTHING part comes from a original tag name used in the repository the user ran the describe command. A sick user could have a confusing hierarchical tag whose name is "refs/heads/foobar" (stored as refs/tags/refs/heads/foobar") to generate a describe name "refs/heads/foobar-6-g02ac983", and we should be able to use that name to refer to the object whose name is 02ac983.
