2020-04-08stash -p: (partially) fix bug concerning split hunksLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+1
When trying to stash part of the worktree changes by splitting a hunk and then only partially accepting the split bits and pieces, the user is presented with a rather cryptic error: error: patch failed: <file>:<line> error: test: patch does not apply Cannot remove worktree changes and the command would fail to stash the desired parts of the worktree changes (even if the `stash` ref was actually updated correctly). We even have a test case demonstrating that failure, carrying it for four years already. The explanation: when splitting a hunk, the changed lines are no longer separated by more than 3 lines (which is the amount of context lines Git's diffs use by default), but less than that. So when staging only part of the diff hunk for stashing, the resulting diff that we want to apply to the worktree in reverse will contain those changes to be dropped surrounded by three context lines, but since the diff is relative to HEAD rather than to the worktree, these context lines will not match. Example time. Let's assume that the file README contains these lines: We the people and the worktree added some lines so that it contains these lines instead: We are the kind people and the user tries to stash the line containing "are", then the command will internally stage this line to a temporary index file and try to revert the diff between HEAD and that index file. The diff hunk that `git stash` tries to revert will look somewhat like this: @@ -1776,3 +1776,4 We +are the people It is obvious, now, that the trailing context lines overlap with the part of the original diff hunk that the user did *not* want to stash. Keeping in mind that context lines in diffs serve the primary purpose of finding the exact location when the diff does not apply precisely (but when the exact line number in the file to be patched differs from the line number indicated in the diff), we work around this by reducing the amount of context lines: the diff was just generated. Note: this is not a *full* fix for the issue. Just as demonstrated in t3701's 'add -p works with pathological context lines' test case, there are ambiguities in the diff format. It is very rare in practice, of course, to encounter such repeated lines. The full solution for such cases would be to replace the approach of generating a diff from the stash and then applying it in reverse by emulating `git revert` (i.e. doing a 3-way merge). However, in `git stash -p` it would not apply to `HEAD` but instead to the worktree, which makes this non-trivial to implement as long as we also maintain a scripted version of `add -i`.

2020-04-08t3904: fix incorrect demonstration of a bugLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
In 7e9e048661 (stash -p: demonstrate failure of split with mixed y/n, 2015-04-16), a regression test for a known breakage that was added to the test script `t3904-stash-patch.sh` that demonstrated that splitting a hunk and trying to stash only part of that split hunk fails (but shouldn't). As expected, it still fails, but for the wrong reason: once the bug is fixed, we would expect stderr to show nothing, yet the regression test expects stderr to show something. Let's fix that by telling that regression test case to expect nothing to be printed to stderr. While at it, also drop the obvious left-over from debugging where the regression test did not mind `git stash -p` to return a non-zero exit status. Of course, the regression test still fails, but this time for the correct reason. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-07-03t: use test_write_lines() instead of series of 'echo' commandsLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-4/+4
These tests employ a noisy subshell (with missing &&-chain) to feed input into Git commands or files: (echo a; echo b; echo c) | git some-command ... Simplify by taking advantage of test_write_lines(): test_write_lines a b c | git some-command ...

2017-03-22stash: pass the pathspec argument to git resetLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-0/+8
For "git stash -p --no-keep-index", the pathspec argument is currently not passed to "git reset". This means that changes that are staged but that are excluded from the pathspec still get unstaged by git stash -p. Make sure that doesn't happen by passing the pathspec argument to the git reset in question, bringing the behaviour in line with "git stash -- <pathspec>".

2012-01-01stash: Don't fail if work dir contains file named 'HEAD'Libravatar Jonathon Mah1-18/+29
When performing a plain "git stash" (without --patch), git-diff would fail with "fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': both revision and filename". The output was piped into git-update-index, masking the failed exit status. The output is now sent to a temporary file (which is cleaned up by existing code), and the exit status is checked. The "HEAD" arg to the git-diff invocation has been disambiguated too, of course. In patch mode, "git stash -p" would fail harmlessly, leaving the working dir untouched. Interactive adding is fine, but the resulting tree was diffed with an ambiguous 'HEAD' argument. Use >foo (no space) when redirecting output. In t3904, checks and operations on each file are in the order they'll appear when interactively staging. In t3905, fix a bug in "stash save --include-untracked -q is quiet": The redirected stdout file was considered untracked, and so was removed from the working directory. Use test path helper functions where appropriate. Signed-off-by: Jonathon Mah <me@JonathonMah.com> Acked-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-08-15Implement 'git stash save --patch'Libravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+55
This adds a hunk-based mode to git-stash. You can select hunks from the difference between HEAD and worktree, and git-stash will build a stash that reflects these changes. The index state of the stash is the same as your current index, and we also let --patch imply --keep-index. Note that because the selected hunks are rolled back from the worktree but not the index, the resulting state may appear somewhat confusing if you had also staged these changes. This is not entirely satisfactory, but due to the way stashes are applied, other solutions would require a change to the stash format.
