2019-05-17format-patch: teach format.notes config optionLibravatar Denton Liu1-0/+70
In git-format-patch, notes can be appended with the `--notes` option. However, this must be specified by the user on an invocation-by-invocation basis. If a user is not careful, it's possible that they may forget to include it and generate a patch series without notes. Teach git-format-patch the `format.notes` config option. Its value is a notes ref that will be automatically appended. The special value of "standard" can be used to specify the standard notes. This option is overridable with the `--no-notes` option in case a user wishes not to append notes. Signed-off-by: Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-05-08format-patch: make --base patch-id output stableLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-4/+4
We weren't flushing the context each time we processed a hunk in the patch-id generation code in diff.c, but we were doing that when we generated "stable" patch-ids with the 'patch-id' tool. Let's port that similar logic over from patch-id.c into diff.c so we can get the same hash when we're generating patch-ids for 'format-patch --base=' types of command invocations.

2019-05-08format-patch: inform user that patch-id generation is unstableLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-5/+31
I tried out 'git format-patch --base' with a set of commits that modifies more than one file. It turns out that the way this command is implemented it actually uses the unstable version of patch-id instead of the stable version that's documented. When I tried to modify the existing test to use 'git patch-id --stable' vs. 'git patch-id --unstable' I found that it didn't matter, the test still passed. Let's expand on the test here so it is a little more complicated and then use that to show that the patch-id generation is actually unstable vs. stable. Update the documentation as well.

2019-02-22format-patch: notice failure to open cover letter for writingLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
The make_cover_letter() function is supposed to open a new file for writing, and let the caller write into it via FILE *rev->diffopt.file but because the function does not return anything, the caller does not bother checking the return value. Make sure it dies, instead of keep going with a NULL output filestream and relying on it to cause a crash, when it fails to open the file. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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.

2018-07-23format-patch: add --interdiff option to embed diff in cover letterLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-0/+17
When submitting a revised version of a patch series, it can be helpful (to reviewers) to include a summary of changes since the previous attempt in the form of an interdiff, however, doing so involves manually copy/pasting the diff into the cover letter. Add an --interdiff option to automate this process. The argument to --interdiff specifies the tip of the previous attempt against which to generate the interdiff. For example: git format-patch --cover-letter --interdiff=v1 -3 v2 The previous attempt and the patch series being formatted must share a common base.

When formatting a series of patches using --attach and --cover-letter, the cover letter lacks the closing MIME boundary, violating RFC 2046. Certain clients, such as Thunderbird, discard the message body in such a case.

This makes "commit -s", "cherry-pick -x", and "format-patch --signoff" consistent with trailer, allowing non-trailer lines and multiple-line trailers in trailer blocks under certain conditions, and therefore suppressing the extra newline in those cases.

Any text below the "-- " for the email signature gets treated as part of the signature, and many mail clients will trim it from the quoted text for a reply. Move it above the signature, so people can reply to it more easily. Similarly, when producing the patch as a MIME attachment, the original code placed the base info after the attached part, which would be discarded. Move the base info to the end of the part, still inside the part boundary. Add tests for the exact format of the email signature, and add tests to ensure that the base info appears before the email signature when producing a plain-text output, and that it appears before the part boundary when producing a MIME attachment.

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>
2016-06-01test-lib: add in-shell "env" replacementLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The one-shot environment variable syntax: FOO=BAR some-program is unportable when some-program is actually a shell function, like test_must_fail (on some shells FOO remains set after the function returns, and on others it does not). We sometimes get around this by using env, like: test_must_fail env FOO=BAR some-program But that only works because test_must_fail's arguments are themselves a command which can be run. You can't run: env FOO=BAR test_must_fail some-program because env does not know about our shell functions. So there is no equivalent for test_commit, for example, and one must resort to: ( FOO=BAR export FOO test_commit ) which is a bit verbose. Let's add a version of "env" that works _inside_ the shell, by creating a subshell, exporting variables from its argument list, and running the command. Its use is demonstrated on a currently-unportable case in t4014. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-04-26format-patch: add '--base' option to record base tree infoLibravatar Xiaolong Ye1-0/+47
Maintainers or third party testers may want to know the exact base tree the patch series applies to. Teach git format-patch a '--base' option to record the base tree info and append it at the end of the first message (either the cover letter or the first patch in the series). The base tree info consists of the "base commit", which is a well-known commit that is part of the stable part of the project history everybody else works off of, and zero or more "prerequisite patches", which are well-known patches in flight that is not yet part of the "base commit" that need to be applied on top of "base commit" in topological order before the patches can be applied. The "base commit" is shown as "base-commit: " followed by the 40-hex of the commit object name. A "prerequisite patch" is shown as "prerequisite-patch-id: " followed by the 40-hex "patch id", which can be obtained by passing the patch through the "git patch-id --stable" command. Imagine that on top of the public commit P, you applied well-known patches X, Y and Z from somebody else, and then built your three-patch series A, B, C, the history would be like: ---P---X---Y---Z---A---B---C With "git format-patch --base=P -3 C" (or variants thereof, e.g. with "--cover-letter" of using "Z..C" instead of "-3 C" to specify the range), the base tree information block is shown at the end of the first message the command outputs (either the first patch, or the cover letter), like this: base-commit: P prerequisite-patch-id: X prerequisite-patch-id: Y prerequisite-patch-id: Z Helped-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Helped-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Xiaolong Ye <xiaolong.ye@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it. Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the situation. When the rename detection fails, it now fails consistently between "git diff" and "git status". This setting does not affect plumbing commands, hence well-written scripts will not be affected.

"git format-patch --ignore-if-in-upstream A..B", when either A or B is a tag, failed miserably. This is because the code passes the tips it used for traversal to clear_commit_marks(), after running a temporary revision traversal to enumerate the commits on both branches to find if they have commits that make equivalent changes. The revision traversal machinery knows how to enumerate commits reachable starting from a tag, but clear_commit_marks() wants to take nothing but a commit. In the longer term, it might be a more correct fix to teach clear_commit_marks() to do the same "committish to commit" dereferencing that is done in the revision traversal machinery, but for now this fix should suffice.

Ordinarily, we would say "VAR=VAL command" to execute a tested command with environment variable(s) set only for that command.

To avoid this, we used to assign and export environment variables and run such a test in a subshell, like so: ( VAR=VAL && export VAR && test_must_fail git command to be tested ) But with "env" utility, we should be able to say: test_must_fail env VAR=VAL git command to be tested which is much shorter and easier to read.

As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of "$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere. This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/ replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts do not have access to our internal shell functions.

2013-09-20format-patch: print in-body "From" only when neededLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+10
Commit a908047 taught format-patch the "--from" option, which places the author ident into an in-body from header, and uses the committer ident in the rfc822 from header. The documentation claims that it will omit the in-body header when it is the same as the rfc822 header, but the code never implemented that behavior. This patch completes the feature by comparing the two idents and doing nothing when they are the same (this is the same as simply omitting the in-body header, as the two are by definition indistinguishable in this case). This makes it reasonable to turn on "--from" all the time (if it matches your particular workflow), rather than only using it when exporting other people's patches.

2013-07-03teach format-patch to place other authors into in-body "From"Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+43
Format-patch generates emails with the "From" address set to the author of each patch. If you are going to send the emails, however, you would want to replace the author identity with yours (if they are not the same), and bump the author identity to an in-body header. Normally this is handled by git-send-email, which does the transformation before sending out the emails. However, some workflows may not use send-email (e.g., imap-send, or a custom script which feeds the mbox to a non-git MUA). They could each implement this feature themselves, but getting it right is non-trivial (one must canonicalize the identities by reversing any RFC2047 encoding or RFC822 quoting of the headers, which has caused many bugs in send-email over the years). This patch takes a different approach: it teaches format-patch a "--from" option which handles the ident check and in-body header while it is writing out the email. It's much simpler to do at this level (because we haven't done any quoting yet), and any workflow based on format-patch can easily turn it on.

2013-04-07format-patch: improve head calculation for cover-letterLibravatar Felipe Contreras1-0/+5
If we do it after the revision traversal we can be sure that this is indeed a commit that will be processed (i.e. not a merge) and it's the top most one (thus removing the NEEDSWORK comment, at least we show the same as 'git diff --stat' output that appears in the cover-letter). While we are at it, since we know there's nothing to generate, exit sooner in all cases, like --cover-letter currently does. Also, if there's nothing to generate and cover-letter is specified, a different code-path might be triggered that is not currently covered in the test-case, so add a test for it.
