2016-01-19ls-remote: add support for showing symrefsLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-0/+45
Sometimes it's useful to know the main branch of a git repository without actually downloading the repository. This can be done by looking at the symrefs stored in the remote repository. Currently git doesn't provide a simple way to show the symrefs stored on the remote repository, even though the information is available. Add a --symref command line argument to the ls-remote command, which shows the symrefs in the remote repository. While there, replace a literal tab in the format string with \t to make it more obvious to the reader.

2015-08-07refs: support negative transfer.hideRefsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+23
If you hide a hierarchy of refs using the transfer.hideRefs config, there is no way to later override that config to "unhide" it. This patch implements a "negative" hide which causes matches to immediately be marked as unhidden, even if another match would hide it. We take care to apply the matches in reverse-order from how they are fed to us by the config machinery, as that lets our usual "last one wins" config precedence work (and entries in .git/config, for example, will override /etc/gitconfig). So you can now do: $ git config --system transfer.hideRefs refs/secret $ git config transfer.hideRefs '!refs/secret/not-so-secret' to hide refs/secret in all repos, except for one public bit in one specific repo. Or you can even do: $ git clone \ -u "git -c transfer.hiderefs="!refs/foo" upload-pack" \ remote:repo.git to clone remote:repo.git, overriding any hiding it has configured. There are two alternatives that were considered and rejected: 1. A generic config mechanism for removing an item from a list. E.g.: (e.g., "[transfer] hideRefs -= refs/foo"). This is nice because it could apply to other multi-valued config, as well. But it is not nearly as flexible. There is no way to say: [transfer] hideRefs = refs/secret hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret Having explicit negative specifications means we can override previous entries, even if they are not the same literal string. 2. Adding another variable to override some parts of hideRefs (e.g., "exposeRefs"). This solves the problem from alternative (1), but it cannot easily obey the normal config precedence, because it would use two separate lists. For example: [transfer] hideRefs = refs/secret exposeRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret/no-really-its-secret With two lists, we have to apply the "expose" rules first, and only then apply the "hide" rules. But that does not match what the above config intends. Of course we could internally parse that to a single list, respecting the ordering, which saves us having to invent the new "!" syntax. But using a single name communicates to the user that the ordering _is_ important. And "!" is well-known for negation, and should not appear at the beginning of a ref (it is actually valid in a ref-name, but all entries here should be fully-qualified, starting with "refs/").

2015-03-20t: wrap complicated expect_code users in a blockLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
If we are expecting a command to produce a particular exit code, we can use test_expect_code. However, some cases are more complicated, and want to accept one of a range of exit codes. For these, we end up with something like: cmd; case "$?" in ... That unfortunately breaks the &&-chain and fools --chain-lint. Since these special cases are so few, we can wrap them in a block, like this: { cmd; ret=$?; } && case "$ret" in ... This accomplishes the same thing, and retains the &&-chain (the exit status fed to the && is that of the assignment, which should always be true). It's technically longer, but it is probably a good thing for unusual code like this to stand out. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-07upload/receive-pack: allow hiding ref hierarchiesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+12
A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that come over the network. Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued configuration variable. Do the same to receive-pack via the receive.hiderefs variable. As a convenient short-hand, allow using transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables. Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote", "fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack). Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent. An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected. This is not a new restriction. To the pusher, it would appear that there is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs. I saw that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the result to point at this commit". The receiving end will apply the compare-and-swap rule to this request and rejects the push with "Well, your update request conflicts with somebody else; I see there is such a ref.", which is the right thing to do. Otherwise a push to a hidden ref will always be "the last one wins", which is not a good default. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-07-04Merge branch 'hv/remote-end-hung-up'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+7
When we get disconnected while expecting a response from the remote side because authentication failed, we issued an error message "The remote side hung up unexpectedly." Give hint that it may be a permission problem in the message when we can reasonably suspect it. * hv/remote-end-hung-up: remove the impression of unexpectedness when access is denied
2012-06-19remove the impression of unexpectedness when access is deniedLibravatar Heiko Voigt1-9/+7
If a server accessed through ssh is denying access git will currently issue the message "fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly" as the last line. This sounds as if something really ugly just happened. Since this is a quite typical situation in which users regularly get we do not say that if it happens at the beginning when reading the remote heads. If its in the very first beginning of reading the remote heads it is very likely an authentication error or a missing repository. If it happens later during reading the remote heads we still indicate that it happened during this initial contact phase.

2011-05-18ls-remote: the --exit-code option reports "no matching refs"Libravatar Michael Schubert1-0/+24
The "git ls-remote" uses its exit status to indicate if it successfully talked with the remote repository. A new option "--exit-code" makes the command exit with status "2" when there is no refs to be listed, even when the command successfully talked with the remote repository. This way, the caller can tell if we failed to contact the remote, or the remote did not have what we wanted to see. Of course, you can inspect the output from the command, which has been and will continue to be a valid way to check the same thing.

2010-05-11ls-remote: print URL when no repo is specifiedLibravatar Tay Ray Chuan1-4/+20
After 9c00de5 (ls-remote: fall-back to default remotes when no remote specified), when no repository is specified, ls-remote may use the URL/remote in the config "branch.<name>.remote" or the remote "origin"; it may not be immediately obvious to the user which was used. In such cases, print a simple "From <URL>" line to indicate which repository was used. This message is similar to git-fetch's, and is printed to stderr to avoid breaking existing scripts that depend on ls-remote's output behaviour. It can also be disabled with -q/--quiet. Modify tests related to falling back on default remotes to check for this as well, and add a test to check for suppression of the message.

2010-04-08ls-remote: fall-back to default remotes when no remote specifiedLibravatar Tay Ray Chuan1-0/+58
Instead of breaking execution when no remote (as specified in the variable dest) is specified when git-ls-remote is invoked, continue on and let remote_get() handle it. This way, we are able to use the default remotes (eg. "origin", branch.<name>.remote), as git-fetch, git-push, and other users of remote_get(), do. If no suitable remote is found, exit with a message describing the issue, instead of just the usage text, as we do previously. Add several tests to check that git-ls-remote handles the no-remote-specified situation. Also add a test that "git ls-remote <pattern>" does not work; we are unable to guess the remote in that situation, as are git-fetch and git-push. In that test, we are testing for messages coming from two separate processes, but we should be OK, because the second message is triggered by closing the fd which must happen after the first message is printed.

2008-05-05Fix tests breaking when checkout path contains shell metacharactersLibravatar Bryan Donlan1-1/+1
This fixes the remainder of the issues where the test script itself is at fault for failing when the git checkout path contains whitespace or other shell metacharacters. The majority of git svn tests used the idiom test_expect_success "title" "test script using $svnrepo" These were changed to have the test script in single-quotes: test_expect_success "title" 'test script using "$svnrepo"' which unfortunately makes the patch appear larger than it really is. One consequence of this change is that in the verbose test output the value of $svnrepo (and in some cases other variables, too) is no longer expanded, i.e. previously we saw * expecting success: test script using /path/to/git/t/trash/svnrepo but now it is: * expecting success: test script using "$svnrepo" Signed-off-by: Bryan Donlan <bdonlan@fushizen.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-03-13add test_cmp function for test scriptsLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+4
Many scripts compare actual and expected output using "diff -u". This is nicer than "cmp" because the output shows how the two differ. However, not all versions of diff understand -u, leading to unnecessary test failure. This adds a test_cmp function to the test scripts and switches all "diff -u" invocations to use it. The function uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its arguments; the default is "diff -u". On systems with a less-capable diff, you can do: GIT_TEST_CMP=cmp make test Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
