2013-02-01Merge branch 'nd/fetch-depth-is-broken'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+39
"git fetch --depth" was broken in at least three ways. The resulting history was deeper than specified by one commit, it was unclear how to wipe the shallowness of the repository with the command, and documentation was misleading. * nd/fetch-depth-is-broken: fetch: elaborate --depth action upload-pack: fix off-by-one depth calculation in shallow clone fetch: add --unshallow for turning shallow repo into complete one
2013-01-30Merge branch 'nd/magic-pathspec-from-root'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+15
When giving arguments without "--" disambiguation, object names that come earlier on the command line must not be interpretable as pathspecs and pathspecs that come later on the command line must not be interpretable as object names. Tweak the disambiguation rule so that ":/" (no other string before or after) is always interpreted as a pathspec, to avoid having to say "git cmd -- :/". * nd/magic-pathspec-from-root: grep: avoid accepting ambiguous revision Update :/abc ambiguity check

2013-01-25Merge branch 'nd/retire-fnmatch'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+43
Replace our use of fnmatch(3) with a more feature-rich wildmatch. A handful patches at the bottom have been moved to nd/wildmatch to graduate as part of that branch, before this series solidifies. We may want to mark USE_WILDMATCH as an experimental curiosity a bit more clearly (i.e. should not be enabled in production environment, because it will make the behaviour between builds unpredictable). * nd/retire-fnmatch: Makefile: add USE_WILDMATCH to use wildmatch as fnmatch wildmatch: advance faster in <asterisk> + <literal> patterns wildmatch: make a special case for "*/" with FNM_PATHNAME test-wildmatch: add "perf" command to compare wildmatch and fnmatch wildmatch: support "no FNM_PATHNAME" mode wildmatch: make dowild() take arbitrary flags wildmatch: rename constants and update prototype
2013-01-24git-svn: Simplify calculation of GIT_DIRLibravatar Barry Wardell1-0/+8
Since git-rev-parse already checks for the $GIT_DIR environment variable and that it returns an actual git repository, there is no need to repeat the checks again here. This also fixes a problem where git-svn did not work in cases where .git was a file with a gitdir: link.

2013-01-21Update :/abc ambiguity checkLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+15
:/abc may mean two things: - as a revision, it means the revision that has "abc" in commit message. - as a pathpec, it means "abc" from root. Currently we see ":/abc" as a rev (most of the time), but never see it as a pathspec even if "abc" exists and "git log :/abc" will gladly take ":/abc" as rev even it's ambiguous. This patch makes it: - ambiguous when "abc" exists on worktree - a rev if abc does not exist on worktree - a path if abc is not found in any commits (although better use "--" to avoid ambiguation because searching through commit DAG is expensive) A plus from this patch is, because ":/" never matches anything as a rev, it is never considered a valid rev and because root directory always exists, ":/" is always unambiguously seen as a pathspec.

2013-01-18push: Add support for pre-push hooksLibravatar Aaron Schrab1-0/+131
Add support for a pre-push hook which can be used to determine if the set of refs to be pushed is suitable for the target repository. The hook is run with two arguments specifying the name and location of the destination repository. Information about what is to be pushed is provided by sending lines of the following form to the hook's standard input: <local ref> SP <local sha1> SP <remote ref> SP <remote sha1> LF If the hook exits with a non-zero status, the push will be aborted. This will allow the script to determine if the push is acceptable based on the target repository and branch(es), the commits which are to be pushed, and even the source branches in some cases.

2013-01-16push: fix "refs/tags/ hierarchy cannot be updated without --force"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-21/+0
When pushing to update a branch with a commit that is not a descendant of the commit at the tip, a wrong message "already exists" was given, instead of the correct "non-fast-forward", if we do not have the object sitting in the destination repository at the tip of the ref we are updating. The primary cause of the bug is that the check in a new helper function is_forwardable() assumed both old and new objects are available and can be checked, which is not always the case. The way the caller uses the result of this function is also wrong. If the helper says "we do not want to let this push go through", the caller unconditionally translates it into "we blocked it because the destination already exists", which is not true at all in this case. Fix this by doing these three things: * Remove unnecessary not_forwardable from "struct ref"; it is only used inside set_ref_status_for_push(); * Make "refs/tags/" the only hierarchy that cannot be replaced without --force; * Remove the misguided attempt to force that everything that updates an existing ref has to be a commit outside "refs/tags/" hierarchy. The policy last one tried to implement may later be resurrected and extended to ensure fast-forwardness (defined as "not losing objects", extending from the traditional "not losing commits from the resulting history") when objects that are not commit are involved (e.g. an annotated tag in hierarchies outside refs/tags), but such a logic belongs to "is this a fast-forward?" check that is done by ref_newer(); is_forwardable(), which is now removed, was not the right place to do so.

2013-01-15git p4: allow short ref names to --branchLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-0/+21
For a clone or sync, --branch says where the newly imported branch should go, or which existing branch to sync up. It takes an argument, which is currently either something that starts with "refs/", or if not, "refs/heads/p4" is prepended. Putting it in heads seems like a bad default; these should go in remotes/p4/ in most situations. Make that the new default, and be more liberal in the form of the branch name.

There is code to create a symbolic reference from p4/HEAD to p4/master. This allows saying "git show p4" as a shortcut to "git show p4/master", for example.

Add failing tests to document behavior when there are multiple p4 branches, as created using the --branch option. In particular: Using clone --branch populates the specified branch correctly, but dies with an error when trying to checkout master. Calling sync without a master branch dies with an error looking for master. When there are two or more branches, a sync does nothing due to branch detection code, but that is expected. Using sync --branch to try to update just a particular branch updates no branch, but appears to succeed. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-15reset: allow reset on unborn branchLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-0/+52
Some users seem to think, knowingly or not, that being on an unborn branch is like having a commit with an empty tree checked out, but when run on an unborn branch, "git reset" currently fails with: fatal: Failed to resolve 'HEAD' as a valid ref. Instead of making users figure out that they should run git rm --cached -r . , let's teach "git reset" without a revision argument, when on an unborn branch, to behave as if the user asked to reset to an empty tree. Don't take the analogy with an empty commit too far, though, but still disallow explictly referring to HEAD in "git reset HEAD".

2013-01-15reset $sha1 $pathspec: require $sha1 only to be treeishLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-0/+8
Resetting with paths does not update HEAD and there is nothing else that a commit should be needed for. Relax the argument parsing so only a tree is required. The sha1 is only passed to read_from_tree(), which already only requires a tree. The "rev" variable we pass to run_add_interactive() will resolve to a tree. This is fine since interactive_reset only needs the parameter to be a treeish and doesn't use it for display purposes.

2013-01-15reset $pathspec: exit with code 0 if successfulLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk2-7/+13
"git reset $pathspec" currently exits with a non-zero exit code if the worktree is dirty after resetting, which is inconsistent with reset without pathspec, and it makes it harder to know whether the command really failed. Change it to exit with code 0 regardless of whether the worktree is dirty so that non-zero indicates an error. This makes the 4 "disambiguation" test cases in t7102 clearer since they all used to "fail", 3 of which "failed" due to changes in the work tree. Now only the ambiguous one fails.

2013-01-11upload-pack: fix off-by-one depth calculation in shallow cloneLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-6/+19
get_shallow_commits() is used to determine the cut points at a given depth (i.e. the number of commits in a chain that the user likes to get). However we count current depth up to the commit "commit" but we do the cutting at its parents (i.e. current depth + 1). This makes upload-pack always return one commit more than requested. This patch fixes it. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-11fetch: add --unshallow for turning shallow repo into complete oneLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+20
The user can do --depth=2147483647 (*) for restoring complete repo now. But it's hard to remember. Any other numbers larger than the longest commit chain in the repository would also do, but some guessing may be involved. Make easy-to-remember --unshallow an alias for --depth=2147483647. Make upload-pack recognize this special number as infinite depth. The effect is essentially the same as before, except that upload-pack is more efficient because it does not have to traverse to the bottom anymore. The chance of a user actually wanting exactly 2147483647 commits depth, not infinite, on a repository with a history that long, is probably too small to consider. The client can learn to add or subtract one commit to avoid the special treatment when that actually happens. (*) This is the largest positive number a 32-bit signed integer can contain. JGit and older C Git store depth as "int" so both are OK with this number. Dulwich does not support shallow clone.
