This had two problems with symrefs. First, it copied the actual sha1 instead of the "pointer", second it failed to remove the old ref after a successful rename. Given that till now delete_ref() always dereferenced symrefs, a new parameters has been introduced to delete_ref() to allow deleting refs without a dereference.

2008-10-19Fix testcase failure when extended attributes are in useLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+6
06cbe855 (Make core.sharedRepository more generic, 2008-04-16) made several testcases in t1301-shared-repo.sh which fail if on a system which creates files with extended attributes (e.g. SELinux), since ls appends a '+' sign to the permission set in such cases. In fact, POSIX.1 allows ls to add a single printable character after the usual 3x3 permission bits to show that an optional alternate/additional access method is associated with the path. This fixes the testcase to strip any such sign prior to verifying the permission set. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Tested-by: Deskin Miller <deskinm@umich.edu>

This test creates files with several different umasks and expects their permissions to be initialized according to the umask, so a default ACL on the trash directory (which overrides the umask for files created in that directory) causes the test to fail.

2008-10-16xdiff-interface.c: strip newline (and cr) from line before pattern matchingLibravatar Brandon Casey1-1/+1
POSIX doth sayeth: "In the regular expression processing described in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, the <newline> is regarded as an ordinary character and both a period and a non-matching list can match one. ... Those utilities (like grep) that do not allow <newline>s to match are responsible for eliminating any <newline> from strings before matching against the RE." Thus far git has not been removing the trailing newline from strings matched against regular expression patterns. This has the effect that (quoting Jonathan del Strother) "... a line containing just 'FUNCNAME' (terminated by a newline) will be matched by the pattern '^(FUNCNAME.$)' but not '^(FUNCNAME$)'", and more simply not '^FUNCNAME$'.

This test used the non-zero exit status of 'git diff' to indicate that a negated funcname pattern, when placed last, was correctly rejected. The problem with this is that 'git diff' always returns non-zero if it finds differences in the files it is comparing, and the files must contain differences in order to trigger the funcname pattern codepath. Instead of checking for non-zero exit status, make sure the expected error message is printed. Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey <drafnel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

We carefully verify that the input to git-apply is sane, including cross-checking that the filenames we see in "+++" headers match what was provided on the command line of "diff --git". When --directory is used, however, we ended up comparing the unadorned name to one with the prepended root, causing us to complain about a mismatch.

2008-10-08git init: --bare/--shared overrides system/global configLibravatar Deskin Miller1-0/+32
If core.bare or core.sharedRepository are set in /etc/gitconfig or ~/.gitconfig, then 'git init' will read the values when constructing a new config file; reading them, however, will override the values specified on the command line. In the case of --bare, this ends up causing a segfault, without the repository being properly initialised; in the case of --shared, the permissions are set according to the existing config settings, not what was specified on the command line. This fix saves any specified values for --bare and --shared prior to reading existing config settings, and restores them after reading but before writing the new config file. core.bare is ignored in all situations, while core.sharedRepository will only be used if --shared is not specified to git init. Also includes testcases which use a specified global config file override, demonstrating the former failure scenario. Signed-off-by: Deskin Miller <deskinm@umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2008-10-06fix bogus "diff --git" header from "diff --no-index"Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+21
When "git diff --no-index" is given an absolute pathname, it would generate a diff header with the absolute path prepended by the prefix, like: diff --git a/dev/null b/foo Not only is this nonsensical, and not only does it violate the description of diffs given in git-diff(1), but it would produce broken binary diffs. Unlike text diffs, the binary diffs don't contain the filenames anywhere else, and so "git apply" relies on this header to figure out the filename. This patch just refuses to use an invalid name for anything visible in the diff. Now, this fixes the "git diff --no-index --binary a /dev/null" kind of case (and we'll end up using "a" as the basename), but some other insane cases are impossible to handle. If you do git diff --no-index --binary a /bin/echo you'll still get a patch like diff --git a/a b/bin/echo old mode 100644 new mode 100755 index ... and "git apply" will refuse to apply it for a couple of reasons, and the diff is simply bogus. And that, btw, is no longer a bug, I think. It's impossible to know whethe the user meant for the patch to be a rename or not. And as such, refusing to apply it because you don't know what name you should use is probably _exactly_ the right thing to do! Original problem reported by Imre Deak.

2008-09-18diff.*.xfuncname which uses "extended" regex's for hunk header selectionLibravatar Brandon Casey1-1/+1
Currently, the hunk headers produced by 'diff -p' are customizable by setting the diff.*.funcname option in the config file. The 'funcname' option takes a basic regular expression. This functionality was designed using the GNU regex library which, by default, allows using backslashed versions of some extended regular expression operators, even in Basic Regular Expression mode. For example, the following characters, when backslashed, are interpreted according to the extended regular expression rules: ?, +, and |. As such, the builtin funcname patterns were created using some extended regular expression operators. Other platforms which adhere more strictly to the POSIX spec do not interpret the backslashed extended RE operators in Basic Regular Expression mode. This causes the pattern matching for the builtin funcname patterns to fail on those platforms. Introduce a new option 'xfuncname' which uses extended regular expressions, and advertise it _instead_ of funcname. Since most users are on GNU platforms, the majority of funcname patterns are created and tested there. Advertising only xfuncname should help to avoid the creation of non-portable patterns which work with GNU regex but not elsewhere. Additionally, the extended regular expressions may be less ugly and complicated compared to the basic RE since many common special operators do not need to be backslashed. For example, the GNU Basic RE: ^[ ]*\\(\\(public\\|static\\).*\\)$ becomes the following Extended RE: ^[ ]*((public|static).*)$ Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey <casey@nrlssc.navy.mil> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

There is currently no call to git_config at the start of cmd_archive.

The standard libc regex library on OSX does not support alternation in POSIX Basic Regular Expression mode. This breaks the diff.funcname functionality on OSX. To fix this, we use the GNU regex library which is already present in the compat/ diretory for the MinGW port.

2008-09-04log --author/--committer: really match only with name partLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+51
When we tried to find commits done by AUTHOR, the first implementation tried to pattern match a line with "^author .*AUTHOR", which later was enhanced to strip leading caret and look for "^author AUTHOR" when the search pattern was anchored at the left end (i.e. --author="^AUTHOR"). This had a few problems: * When looking for fixed strings (e.g. "git log -F --author=x --grep=y"), the regexp internally used "^author .*x" would never match anything; * To match at the end (e.g. "git log --author='google.com>$'"), the generated regexp has to also match the trailing timestamp part the commit header lines have. Also, in order to determine if the '$' at the end means "match at the end of the line" or just a literal dollar sign (probably backslash-quoted), we would need to parse the regexp ourselves. An earlier alternative tried to make sure that a line matches "^author " (to limit by field name) and the user supplied pattern at the same time. While it solved the -F problem by introducing a special override for matching the "^author ", it did not solve the trailing timestamp nor tail match problem. It also would have matched every commit if --author=author was asked for, not because the author's email part had this string, but because every commit header line that talks about the author begins with that field name, regardleses of who wrote it. Instead of piling more hacks on top of hacks, this rethinks the grep machinery that is used to look for strings in the commit header, and makes sure that (1) field name matches literally at the beginning of the line, followed by a SP, and (2) the user supplied pattern is matched against the remainder of the line, excluding the trailing timestamp data.

2008-09-01Bring local clone's origin URL in line with that of a remote cloneLibravatar Johan Herland1-3/+3
On a local clone, "git clone" would use the fully DWIMmed path as the origin URL in the resulting repo. This was slightly inconsistent with the case of a remote clone where the _given_ URL was used as the origin URL (because the DWIMming was done remotely, and was therefore not available to "git clone"). This behaviour caused problems when cloning a local non-bare repo with relative submodule URLs, because these submodule URLs would then be resolved against the DWIMmed URL (e.g. "/repo/.git") instead of the given URL (e.g. "/repo"). This patch teaches "git clone" to use the _given_ URL - instead of the DWIMmed path - as the origin URL. This causes relative submodule URLs to be resolved correctly, as long the _given_ URL indicates the correct directory against which the submodule URLs should be resolved. The patch also updates a testcase that contained the old-style origin URLs. Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-08-30diff: Help "less" hide ^M from the outputLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+12
When the tracked contents have CRLF line endings, colored diff output shows "^M" at the end of output lines, which is distracting, even though the pager we use by default ("less") knows to hide them. The problem is that "less" hides a carriage-return only at the end of the line, immediately before a line feed. The colored diff output does not take this into account, and emits four element sequence for each line: - force this color; - the line up to but not including the terminating line feed; - reset color - line feed. By including the carriage return at the end of the line in the second item, we are breaking the smart our pager has in order not to show "^M". This can be fixed by changing the sequence to: - force this color; - the line up to but not including the terminating end-of-line; - reset color - end-of-line. where end-of-line is either a single linefeed or a CRLF pair. When the output is not colored, "force this color" and "reset color" sequences are both empty, so we won't have this problem with or without this patch.
