2021-02-10tests: remove most uses of test_i18ncmpLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-4/+4
As a follow-up to d162b25f956 (tests: remove support for GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON, 2021-01-20) remove most uses of test_i18ncmp via a simple s/test_i18ncmp/test_cmp/g search-replacement. I'm leaving t6300-for-each-ref.sh out due to a conflict with in-flight changes between "master" and "seen", as well as the prerequisite itself due to other changes between "master" and "next/seen" which add new test_i18ncmp uses.

In dcb500dc16c (cherry-pick/revert: advise using --skip, 2019-07-02), `git commit` learned to suggest to run `git cherry-pick --skip` when trying to cherry-pick an empty patch, but that was never tested for.

2019-07-02cherry-pick/revert: add --skip optionLibravatar Rohit Ashiwal1-0/+102
git am or rebase have a --skip flag to skip the current commit if the user wishes to do so. During a cherry-pick or revert a user could likewise skip a commit, but needs to use 'git reset' (or in the case of conflicts 'git reset --merge'), followed by 'git (cherry-pick | revert) --continue' to skip the commit. This is more annoying and sometimes confusing on the users' part. Add a `--skip` option to make skipping commits easier for the user and to make the commands more consistent. In the next commit, we will change the advice messages hence finishing the process of teaching revert and cherry-pick "how to skip commits".

--quit is supposed to be --abort but without restoring HEAD. Leaving CHERRY_PICK_HEAD behind could make other commands mistake that cherry-pick is still ongoing (e.g. "git commit --amend" will refuse to work). Clean it too. For --abort, this job of deleting CHERRY_PICK_HEAD is on "git reset" so we don't need to do anything else. But let's add extra checks in --abort tests to confirm.

2018-07-11sequencer: handle empty-set cases consistentlyLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+6
If the user gives us a set that prepare_revision_walk() takes to be empty, like: git cherry-pick base..base then we report an error. It's nonsense, and there's nothing to pick. But if they use revision options that later cull the list, like: git cherry-pick --author=nobody base~2..base then we quietly create an empty todo list and return success. Arguably either behavior is acceptable, but we should definitely be consistent about it. Reporting an error seems to match the original intent, which dates all the way back to 7e2bfd3f99 (revert: allow cherry-picking more than one commit, 2010-06-02). That in turn was trying to match the single-commit case that existed before then (and which continues to issue an error).

2016-12-09sequencer: make sequencer abort saferLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-1/+1
In contrast to "git am --abort", a sequencer abort did not check whether the current HEAD is the one that is expected. This can lead to loss of work (when not spotted and resolved using reflog before the garbage collector chimes in). This behavior is now changed by mimicking "git am --abort". The abortion is done but HEAD is not changed when the current HEAD is not the expected HEAD. A new file "sequencer/abort-safety" is added to save the expected HEAD. The new behavior is only active when --abort is invoked on multiple picks. The problem does not occur for the single-pick case because it is handled differently.

2011-12-15t3502, t3510: clarify cherry-pick -m failureLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-1/+1
The "cherry-pick persists opts correctly" test in t3510 (cherry-pick-sequence) can cause some confusion, because the command actually has two points of failure: 1. "-m 1" is specified on the command-line despite the base commit "initial" not being a merge-commit. 2. The revision range indicates that there will be a conflict that needs to be resolved. Although the former error is trapped, and cherry-pick die()s with the exit status 128, the reader may be distracted by the latter. Fix this by changing the revision range to something that wouldn't cause a conflict. Additionally, explicitly check the exit code in "cherry-pick a non-merge with -m should fail" in t3502 (cherry-pick-merge) to reassure the reader that this failure has nothing to do with the sequencer itself.

2011-12-12revert: do not remove state until sequence is finishedLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+3
As v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~4 (2011-08-04) explains, git cherry-pick removes the sequencer state just before applying the final patch. In the single-pick case, that was a good thing, since --abort and --continue work fine without access to such state and removing it provides a signal that git should not complain about the need to clobber it ("a cherry-pick or revert is already in progress") in sequences like the following: git cherry-pick foo git read-tree -m -u HEAD; # forget that; let's try a different one git cherry-pick bar After the recent patch "allow single-pick in the middle of cherry-pick sequence" we don't need that hack any more. In the new regime, a traditional "git cherry-pick <commit>" command never looks at .git/sequencer, so we do not need to cripple "git cherry-pick <commit>..<commit>" for it any more. So now you can run "git cherry-pick --abort" near the end of a multi-pick sequence and it will abort the entire sequence, instead of misbehaving and aborting just the final commit.

Since 7e2bfd3f (revert: allow cherry-picking more than one commit, 2010-07-02), the pick/revert machinery has kept track of the set of commits to be cherry-picked or reverted using commit_argc and commit_argv variables, storing the corresponding command-line parameters. Future callers as other commands are built in (am, rebase, sequencer) may find it easier to pass rev-list options to this machinery in already-parsed form.

2011-12-12revert: allow cherry-pick --continue to commit before resumingLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+136
When "git cherry-pick ..bar" encounters conflicts, permit the operator to use cherry-pick --continue after resolving them as a shortcut for "git commit && git cherry-pick --continue" to record the resolution and carry on with the rest of the sequence. This improves the analogy with "git rebase" (in olden days --continue was the way to preserve authorship when a rebase encountered conflicts) and fits well with a general UI goal of making "git cmd --continue" save humans the trouble of deciding what to do next. Example: after encountering a conflict from running "git cherry-pick foo bar baz": CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in main.c error: could not apply f78a8d98c... bar! hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>' hint: and commit the result with 'git commit' We edit main.c to resolve the conflict, mark it acceptable with "git add main.c", and can run "cherry-pick --continue" to resume the sequence. $ git cherry-pick --continue [editor opens to confirm commit message] [master 78c8a8c98] bar! 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) [master 87ca8798c] baz! 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) This is done for both codepaths to pick multiple commits and a single commit.

The option to "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" to discard the sequencer state introduced by v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~6 (revert: Introduce --reset to remove sequencer state, 2011-08-04) has a confusing name. Change it now, while we still have the time. The new name for "cherry-pick, please get out of my way, since I've long forgotten about the sequence of commits I was cherry-picking when you wrote that old .git/sequencer directory" is --quit. Mnemonic: this is analagous to quiting a program the user is no longer using --- we just want to get out of the multiple-command cherry-pick procedure and not to reset HEAD or rewind any other old state. The "--reset" option is kept as a synonym to minimize the impact. We might consider dropping it for simplicity in a separate patch, though. Adjust documentation and tests to use the newly preferred name (--quit) instead of --reset. While at it, let's clarify the short descriptions of these operations in "-h" output.

2011-08-08revert: Introduce --continue to continue the operationLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-0/+96
Introduce a new "git cherry-pick --continue" command which uses the information in ".git/sequencer" to continue a cherry-pick that stopped because of a conflict or other error. It works by dropping the first instruction from .git/sequencer/todo and performing the remaining cherry-picks listed there, with options (think "-s" and "-X") from the initial command listed in ".git/sequencer/opts". So now you can do: $ git cherry-pick -Xpatience foo..bar ... description conflict in commit moo ... $ git cherry-pick --continue error: 'cherry-pick' is not possible because you have unmerged files. fatal: failed to resume cherry-pick $ echo resolved >conflictingfile $ git add conflictingfile && git commit $ git cherry-pick --continue; # resumes with the commit after "moo" During the "git commit" stage, CHERRY_PICK_HEAD will aid by providing the commit message from the conflicting "moo" commit. Note that the cherry-pick mechanism has no control at this stage, so the user is free to violate anything that was specified during the first cherry-pick invocation. For example, if "-x" was specified during the first cherry-pick invocation, the user is free to edit out the message during commit time. Note that the "--signoff" option specified at cherry-pick invocation time is not reflected in the commit message provided by CHERRY_PICK_HEAD; the user must take care to add "--signoff" during the "git commit" invocation.

2011-08-08revert: Remove sequencer state when no commits are pendingLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-0/+24
When cherry-pick or revert is called on a list of commits, and a conflict encountered somewhere in the middle, the data in ".git/sequencer" is required to continue the operation. However, when a conflict is encountered in the very last commit, the user will have to "continue" after resolving the conflict and committing just so that the sequencer state is removed. This is how the current "rebase -i" script works as well. $ git cherry-pick foo..bar ... conflict encountered while picking "bar" ... $ echo "resolved" >problematicfile $ git add problematicfile $ git commit $ git cherry-pick --continue # This would be a no-op Change this so that the sequencer state is cleared when a conflict is encountered in the last commit. Incidentally, this patch makes sure that some existing tests don't break when features like "--reset" and "--continue" are implemented later in the series. A better way to implement this feature is to get the last "git commit" to remove the sequencer state. However, that requires tighter coupling between "git commit" and the sequencer, a goal that can be pursued once the sequencer is made more general.

2011-08-04revert: Save data for continuing after conflict resolutionLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-0/+48
Ever since v1.7.2-rc1~4^2~7 (revert: allow cherry-picking more than one commit, 2010-06-02), a single invocation of "git cherry-pick" or "git revert" can perform picks of several individual commits. To implement features like "--continue" to continue the whole operation, we will need to store some information about the state and the plan at the beginning. Introduce a ".git/sequencer/head" file to store this state, and ".git/sequencer/todo" file to store the plan. The head file contains the SHA-1 of the HEAD before the start of the operation, and the todo file contains an instruction sheet whose format is inspired by the format of the "rebase -i" instruction sheet. As a result, a typical todo file looks like: pick 8537f0e submodule add: test failure when url is not configured pick 4d68932 submodule add: allow relative repository path pick f22a17e submodule add: clean up duplicated code pick 59a5775 make copy_ref globally available Since SHA-1 hex is abbreviated using an find_unique_abbrev(), it is unambiguous. This does not guarantee that there will be no ambiguity when more objects are added to the repository. These two files alone are not enough to implement a "--continue" that remembers the command-line options specified; later patches in the series save them too. These new files are unrelated to the existing .git/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD, which will still be useful while committing after a conflict resolution.
