2013-03-25t7600: use test_config to set/unset git config variablesLibravatar Yann Droneaud1-34/+26
Instead of using construct such as: test_when_finished "git config --unset <key>" git config <key> <value> uses test_config <key> <value> The latter takes care of removing <key> at the end of the test. Tests are modified to assume default configuration at entry, and to reset the modified configuration variables at the end. Test 'merge log message' was relying on the presence of option `--no-ff` in the configuration. With the option, git show -s --pretty=format:%b HEAD produces an empty line and without the option, it produces an empty file. The test is modified to check with and without `--no-ff` option.

2012-02-09merge: do not launch an editor on "--no-edit $tag"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+12
When the user explicitly asked us not to, don't launch an editor.

2012-02-05merge: do not create a signed tag merge under --ff-only optionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+13
Starting at release v1.7.9, if you ask to merge a signed tag, "git merge" always creates a merge commit, even when the tag points at a commit that happens to be a descendant of your current commit. Unfortunately, this interacts rather badly for people who use --ff-only to make sure that their branch is free of local developments. It used to be possible to say: $ git checkout -b frotz v1.7.9~30 $ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9 and expect that the resulting tip of frotz branch matches v1.7.9^0 (aka the commit tagged as v1.7.9), but this fails with the updated Git with: fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting. because a merge that merges v1.7.9 tag to v1.7.9~30 cannot be created by fast forwarding. We could teach users that now they have to do $ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9^0 but it is far more pleasant for users if we DWIMmed this ourselves. When an integrator pulls in a topic from a lieutenant via a signed tag, even when the work done by the lieutenant happens to fast-forward, the integrator wants to have a merge record, so the integrator will not be asking for --ff-only when running "git pull" in such a case. Therefore, this change should not regress the support for the use case v1.7.9 wanted to add. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-10-12Teach merge the '[-e|--edit]' optionLibravatar Jay Soffian1-0/+23
Implemented internally instead of as "git merge --no-commit && git commit" so that "merge --edit" is otherwise consistent (hooks, etc) with "merge". Note: the edit message does not include the status information that one gets with "commit --status" and it is cleaned up after editing like one gets with "commit --cleanup=default". A later patch could add the status information if desired. Note: previously we were not calling stripspace() after running the prepare-commit-msg hook. Now we are, stripping comments and leading/trailing whitespace lines if --edit is given, otherwise only stripping leading/trailing whitespace lines if not given --edit.

2011-05-06tests: check git does not barf on merge.ff values for future versions of gitLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+14
Maybe some day in the future we will want to support a syntax like [merge] ff = branch1 ff = branch2 ff = branch3 in addition to the currently permitted "true", "false", and "only" values. So make sure we continue to treat such configurations as though an unknown variable had been defined rather than erroring out, until it is time to implement such a thing, so configuration files using such a facility can be shared between present and future git. While at it, add a few missing && and start the "combining --squash and --no-ff" test with a known state so we can be sure it does not succeed or fail for the wrong reason.

2011-05-06tests: teach verify_parents to check for extra parentsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+1
Currently verify_parents only makes sure that the earlier parents of HEAD match the commits given, and does not care if there are more parents. This makes it harder than one would like to check that, for example, parent reduction works correctly when making an octopus. Fix it by checking that HEAD^(n+1) is not a valid commit name. Noticed while working on a new test that was supposed to create a fast-forward one commit ahead but actually created a merge.

2011-05-06merge: make branch.<name>.mergeoptions correctly override merge.<option>Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+32
The parsing of the additional command line parameters supplied to the branch.<name>.mergeoptions configuration variable was implemented at the wrong stage. If any merge-related variable came after we read branch.<name>.mergeoptions, the earlier value was overwritten. We should first read all the merge.* configuration, override them by reading from branch.<name>.mergeoptions and then finally read from the command line. This patch should fix it, even though I now strongly suspect that branch.<name>.mergeoptions that gives a single command line that needs to be parsed was likely to be an ill-conceived idea to begin with.

2011-05-06tests: eliminate unnecessary setup test assertionsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-74/+72
Most of git's tests write files and define shell functions and variables that will last throughout a test script at the top of the script, before all test assertions: . ./test-lib.sh VAR='some value' export VAR >empty fn () { do something } test_expect_success 'setup' ' ... nontrivial commands go here ... ' Two scripts use a different style with this kind of trivial code enclosed by a test assertion; fix them. The usual style is easier to read since there is less indentation to keep track of and no need to worry about nested quotes; and on the other hand, because the commands in question are trivial, it should not make the test suite any worse at catching future bugs in git. While at it, make some other small tweaks: - spell function definitions with a space before () for consistency with other scripts; - use the self-contained command "git mktree </dev/null" in preference to "git write-tree" which looks at the index when writing an empty tree.

2010-08-18t7600 (merge): do not launch gitk for --debugLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-29/+29
Probably as a development aid, this test script runs gitk --all to allow the driver to inspect history between tests when run with --debug. As a result, running all tests with --debug requires closing a long series of gitk displays, one at a time. Use git log --graph --oneline instead. This way, the history is available for viewing with "git show" but the test script finishes without interaction. Longer term, it would be nice to have an option to run a user-specified command between tests. This patch does not do that.

2010-04-06war on "sleep" in testsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+1
In many places in test suite we have "sleep"s that do not have to be there. - I do not simply see the point of the one in t3500. It may be making sure that the timestamp order of commits generated during the test is stable, in which case test_tick is the right ingredient to use without wasting tester's time. - The one in t4011 is to make sure that the plumbing diff-index notices the stat-dirtyness of a removed then identically recreated symlink. Keeping the old symlink around to make sure that a newly created symlink gets different ino would be sufficient for that purpose. - The one in t7600 is to make sure that "git merge" does not get confused by stat-dirty "file" in the working tree. Again, keeping the old file around and creating an identical copy to ensure a different ino would be sufficient for that purpose. The "racy git" tests in t0010 are inherently about mtime between the index itself and index entries. The "sleep" in that test must stay as they are. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-10-30Teach 'git merge' and 'git pull' the option --ff-onlyLibravatar Björn Gustavsson1-0/+41
For convenience in scripts and aliases, add the option --ff-only to only allow fast-forwards (and up-to-date, despite the name). Disallow combining --ff-only and --no-ff, since they flatly contradict each other. Allow all other options to be combined with --ff-only (i.e. do not add any code to handle them specially), including the following options: * --strategy (one or more): As long as the chosen merge strategy results in up-to-date or fast-forward, the command will succeed. * --squash: I cannot imagine why anyone would want to squash commits only if fast-forward is possible, but I also see no reason why it should not be allowed. * --message: The message will always be ignored, but I see no need to explicitly disallow providing a redundant message. Acknowledgements: I did look at Yuval Kogman's earlier patch (107768 in gmane), mainly as shortcut to find my way in the code, but I did not copy anything directly.

2008-10-03builtin-commit: use reduce_heads() only when appropriateLibravatar Miklos Vajna1-0/+16
Since commit 6bb6b034 (builtin-commit: use commit_tree(), 2008-09-10), builtin-commit performs a reduce_heads() unconditionally. However, it's not always needed, and in some cases even harmful. reduce_heads() is not needed for the initial commit or for an "ordinary" commit, because they don't have any or have only one parent, respectively. reduce_heads() must be avoided when 'git commit' is run after a 'git merge --no-ff --no-commit', otherwise it will turn the non-fast-forward merge into fast-forward. For the same reason, reduce_heads() must be avoided when amending such a merge commit. To resolve this issue, 'git merge' will write info about whether fast-forward is allowed or not to $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MODE. Based on this info, 'git commit' will only perform reduce_heads() when it's committing a merge and fast-forward is enabled. Also add test cases to ensure that non-fast-forward merges are committed and amended properly.

2008-08-23merge: fix numerus bugs around "trivial merge" areaLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+9
The "trivial merge" codepath wants to optimize itself by making an internal call to the read-tree machinery, but it does not read the index before doing so, and the codepath is never exercised. Incidentally, this failure to read the index upfront means that the safety to refuse doing anything when the index is unmerged does not kick in, either. These two problem are fixed by using read_cache_unmerged() that does read the index before checking if it is unmerged at the beginning of cmd_merge(). The primary logic of the merge, however, assumes that the process never reads the index in-core, and the call to write_cache_as_tree() it makes from write_tree_trivial() will always read from the on-disk index that is prepared the strategy back-ends. This assumption is now broken by the above fix. To fix this issue, we now call discard_cache() before calling write_tree_trivial() when it wants to write the on-disk index as a tree. When multiple strategies are tried, their results are evaluated by reading the resulting index and inspecting it. The codepath needs to make a call to read_cache() for each successful strategy, and for that to work, they need to discard_cache() the one read by the previous round. Also the "trivial merge" forgot that the current commit is one of the parents of the resulting commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The function uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its arguments; the default is "diff -u".
