2020-06-25Merge branch 'pb/t4014-unslave'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+4

2020-06-19t4014: do not use "slave branch" nomenclatureLibravatar Paolo Bonzini1-4/+4
Git branches have been qualified as topic branches, integration branches, development branches, feature branches, release branches and so on. Git has a branch that is the master *for* development, but it is not the master *of* any "slave branch": Git does not have slave branches, and has never had, except for a single testcase that claims otherwise. :) Independent of any future change to the naming of the "master" branch, removing this sole appearance of the term is a strict improvement: it avoids divisive language, and talking about "feature branch" clarifies which developer workflow the test is trying to emulate.

2020-04-07format-patch: teach --no-encode-email-headersLibravatar Emma Brooks1-0/+53
When commit subjects or authors have non-ASCII characters, git format-patch Q-encodes them so they can be safely sent over email. However, if the patch transfer method is something other than email (web review tools, sneakernet), this only serves to make the patch metadata harder to read without first applying it (unless you can decode RFC 2047 in your head). git am as well as some email software supports non-Q-encoded mail as described in RFC 6531. Add --[no-]encode-email-headers and format.encodeEmailHeaders to let the user control this behavior. Signed-off-by: Emma Brooks <me@pluvano.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-12-25Merge branch 'dl/format-patch-notes-config-fixup'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+32
"git format-patch" can take a set of configured format.notes values to specify which notes refs to use in the log message part of the output. The behaviour of this was not consistent with multiple --notes command line options, which has been corrected. * dl/format-patch-notes-config-fixup: notes.h: fix typos in comment notes: break set_display_notes() into smaller functions config/format.txt: clarify behavior of multiple format.notes format-patch: move git_config() before repo_init_revisions() format-patch: use --notes behavior for format.notes notes: extract logic into set_display_notes() notes: create init_display_notes() helper notes: rename to load_display_notes()
2019-12-09format-patch: use --notes behavior for format.notesLibravatar Denton Liu1-0/+32
When we had multiple `format.notes` config values where we had `<ref1>`, `false`, `<ref2>` (in that order), then we would print out the notes for both `<ref1>` and `<ref2>`. This doesn't make sense, however, since we parse the config in a top-down manner and a `false` should be able to override previous configurations, just like how `--no-notes` will override previous `--notes`. Duplicate the logic that handles the `--[no-]notes[=]` option to `format.notes` for consistency. As a result, when parsing the config from top to bottom, `format.notes = true` will behave like `--notes`, `format.notes = <ref>` will behave like `--notes=<ref>` and `format.notes = false` will behave like `--no-notes`. This change isn't strictly backwards compatible but since it is an edge case where a sane user would not mix notes refs with `false` and this feature is relatively new (released only in v2.23.0), this change should be harmless.

In 6bd26f58ea (t4014: use test_line_count() where possible, 2019-08-27), we converted many test cases to take advantage of the test_line_count() function. In one conversion, we inverted the expected and actual value as tested by test_line_count(). Although functionally correct, if format-patch ever produced incorrect output, the debugging output would be a bunch of hashes which would be difficult to debug. Invert the expected and actual values provided to test_line_count() so that if format-patch produces incorrect output, the debugging output will be a list of human-readable files instead.

2019-09-05t4014: stop losing return codes of git commandsLibravatar Denton Liu1-77/+120
Currently, there are two ways where the return codes of Git commands are lost. The first way is when a command is in the upstream of a pipe. In a pipe, only the return code of the last command is used. Thus, all other commands will have their return codes masked. Rewrite pipes so that there are no Git commands upstream. The other way is when a command is in a non-assignment subshell. The return code will be lost in favour of the surrounding command's. Rewrite instances of this such that Git commands output to a file and surrounding commands only call subshells with non-Git commands.

2018-07-23format-patch: allow --interdiff to apply to a lone-patchLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-0/+12
When submitting a revised version of a patch or series, it can be helpful (to reviewers) to include a summary of changes since the previous attempt in the form of an interdiff, typically in the cover letter. However, it is occasionally useful, despite making for a noisy read, to insert an interdiff into the commentary section of the lone patch of a 1-patch series. Therefore, extend "git format-patch --interdiff=<prev>" to insert an interdiff into the commentary section of a lone patch rather than requiring a cover letter. The interdiff is indented to avoid confusing git-am and human readers into considering it part of the patch proper. Implementation note: Generating an interdiff for insertion into the commentary section of a patch which itself is currently being generated requires invoking the diffing machinery recursively. However, the machinery does not (presently) support this since it uses global state. Consequently, we need to take care to stash away the state of the in-progress operation while generating the interdiff, and restore it after.

This output format prevents format-patch output from breaking readers if somebody copy+pasted an mbox into a commit message. Unlike the traditional "mboxo" format, "mboxrd" is designed to be fully-reversible. "mboxrd" also gracefully degrades to showing extra ">" in existing "mboxo" readers. This degradation is preferable to breaking message splitting completely, a problem I've seen in "mboxcl" due to having multiple, non-existent, or inaccurate Content-Length headers. "mboxcl2" is a non-starter since it's inherits the problems of "mboxcl" while being completely incompatible with existing tooling based around mailsplit. ref: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/mail-mbox-formats.html Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <e@80x24.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
