2006-04-23make update-index --chmod work with multiple files and --stdinLibravatar Alex Riesen1-7/+16
The patch makes "--chmod=-x" and "--chmod=+x" act like "--add" and "--remove" to affect the behaviour of the command for the rest of the path parameters, not just the following one. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-04-19git-update-index --unresolveLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+127
Retire git-unresolve and make it into "git-update-index --unresolve". It processes all paths that follow. During a merge, you would mark a path that is dealt with with: $ git update-index hello and you would "undo" it with: $ git update-index --unresolve hello Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-03-02Prevent --index-info from ignoring -z.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-1/+3
If git-update-index --index-info -z is used only the first record given to the process will actually be updated as the -z option is ignored until after all index records have been read and processed. This meant that multiple null terminated records were seen as a single record which was lacking a trailing LF, however since the first record ended in a null the C string handling functions ignored the trailing garbage. So --index-info should be required to be the last command line option, much as --stdin is required to be the last command line option. Because --index-info implies --stdin this isn't an issue as the user shouldn't be passing --stdin when also passing --index-info. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-02-09"Assume unchanged" git: --really-refresh fix.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+7
The earlier round failed to make --really-refresh to mark up-to-date index entry to valid again due to a trivial thinko. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-02-08"Assume unchanged" git: do not set CE_VALID with --refreshLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+9
When working with automatic assume-unchanged mode using core.ignorestat, setting CE_VALID after --refresh makes things more cumbersome to use. Consider this scenario: (1) the working tree is on a filesystem with slow lstat(2). The user sets core.ignorestat = true. (2) "git checkout" to switch to a different branch (or initial checkout) updates all paths and the index starts out with "all clean". (3) The user knows she wants to edit certain paths. She uses update-index --no-assume-unchanged (we could call it --edit; the name is inmaterial) to mark these paths and starts editing. (4) After editing half of the paths marked to be edited, she runs "git status". This runs "update-index --refresh" to reduce the false hits from diff-files. (5) Now the other half of the paths, since she has not changed them, are found to match the index, and CE_VALID is set on them again. For this reason, this commit makes update-index --refresh not to set CE_VALID even after the path without CE_VALID are verified to be up to date. The user still can run --really-refresh to force lstat() to match the index entries to the reality. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-02-08"Assume unchanged" gitLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+58
This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list discussion recently: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org> This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat() that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage of. On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name to be in the next commit. You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the CE_VALID bit: git-update-index --assume-unchanged path... git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path... These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change the object name recorded in the index file. Nor they add a new entry to the index. When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set, the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically after: - update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the index file. - when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date. - when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working tree file and register the current object name to the index file. The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings. Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability: - while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure that the paths involved in the merge do not have local modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety. - when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check anything out ;-). - when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified. Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path". This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff between index and/or tree and working files may need some adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID. But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people who asked for this feature. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-02-01update-index --index-info: allow stage 0 entries.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Somehow we did not allow stuffing the index with stage 0 entries through --index-info interface. I do not think of a reason to forbid it offhand. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-01-11update-index: work with c-quoted nameLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+8

2005-12-07update-index: allow --index-info to add higher stages.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-18/+47
The new merge world order tells the merge strategies to leave the cache unmerged and store the automerge result in the working tree if automerge is not clean. This was done for the resolve strategy and recursive strategy when no rename is involved, but recording a conflicting merge in the rename case could not easily be done by the recursive strategy. This commit adds a new input format, in addition to the exsting two, to "update-index --index-info". (1) mode SP sha1 TAB path The first format is what "git-apply --index-info" reports, and used to reconstruct a partial tree that is used for phony merge base tree when falling back on 3-way merge. (2) mode SP type SP sha1 TAB path The second format is to stuff git-ls-tree output into the index file. (3) mode SP sha1 SP stage TAB path This format is to put higher order stages into the index file and matches git-ls-files --stage output. To place a higher stage entry to the index, the path should first be removed by feeding a mode=0 entry for the path, and then feeding necessary input lines in the (3) format. For example, starting with this index: $ git ls-files -s 100644 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 0 frotz $ git update-index --index-info ;# interactive session -- input follows... 0 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 frotz 100644 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 1 frotz 100755 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 2 frotz The first line of the input feeds 0 as the mode to remove the path; the SHA1 does not matter as long as it is well formatted. Then the second and third line feeds stage 1 and stage 2 entries for that path. After the above, we would end up with this: $ git ls-files -s 100644 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 1 frotz 100755 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 2 frotz This completes the groundwork for the new merge world order.

2005-11-23Teach update-index to read from ls-tree.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+8
git-update-index --index-info can almost be usable to read from ls-tree output to update the index (and not the working tree file) to HEAD commit, but not quite. It was designed to read from git-apply --index-info output, and does not want " blob " in ls-tree output. Accept that as well. This lets us update "git-checkout <ent> <path>" that used to filter the extra " blob " string out. Noted by Luben. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-10-17update-index --index-info: adjust for funny-path quoting.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+17

2005-10-17Improve "git add" again.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+32
This makes it possible to add paths that have funny characters (TAB and LF) in them, and makes adding many paths more efficient in general. New flag "--stdin" to update-index was initially added for different purpose, but it turns out to be a perfect match for feeding "ls-files --others -z" output to improve "git add". It also adds "--verbose" flag to update-index for use with "git add" command. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-10-11Use core.filemode.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+45
With "[core] filemode = false", you can tell git to ignore differences in the working tree file only in executable bit. * "git-update-index --refresh" does not say "needs update" if index entry and working tree file differs only in executable bit. * "git-update-index" on an existing path takes executable bit from the existing index entry, if the path and index entry are both regular files. * "git-diff-files" and "git-diff-index" without --cached flag pretend the path on the filesystem has the same executable bit as the existing index entry, if the path and index entry are both regular files. If you are on a filesystem with unreliable mode bits, you may need to force the executable bit after registering the path in the index. * "git-update-index --chmod=+x foo" flips the executable bit of the index file entry for path "foo" on. Use "--chmod=-x" to flip it off. Note that --chmod only works in index file and does not look at nor update the working tree. So if you are on a filesystem and do not have working executable bit, you would do: 1. set the appropriate .git/config option; 2. "git-update-index --add new-file.c" 3. "git-ls-files --stage new-file.c" to see if it has the desired mode bits. If not, e.g. to drop executable bit picked up from the filesystem, say "git-update-index --chmod=-x new-file.c".

2005-10-07Show original and resulting blob object info in diff output.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-30/+3
This adds more cruft to diff --git header to record the blob SHA1 and the mode the patch/diff is intended to be applied against, to help the receiving end fall back on a three-way merge. The new header looks like this: diff --git a/apply.c b/apply.c index 7be5041..8366082 100644 --- a/apply.c +++ b/apply.c @@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ // files that are being modified, but doesn't apply the patch // --stat does just a diffstat, and doesn't actually apply +// --show-index-info shows the old and new index info for... ... Upon receiving such a patch, if the patch did not apply cleanly to the target tree, the recipient can try to find the matching old objects in her object database and create a temporary tree, apply the patch to that temporary tree, and attempt a 3-way merge between the patched temporary tree and the target tree using the original temporary tree as the common ancestor. The patch lifts the code to compute the hash for an on-filesystem object from update-index.c and makes it available to the diff output routine. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-10-01[PATCH] Re-instate index file write optimizationLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-3/+5
This makes "git-update-index" avoid the new index file write if it didn't make any changes to the index. It still doesn't make things like "git status" be read-only operations in general, but if the index file doesn't need refreshing, it now will at least avoid making unnecessary changes.

2005-10-01[PATCH] Better error reporting for "git status"Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-4/+12
Instead of "git status" ignoring (and hiding) potential errors from the "git-update-index" call, make it exit if it fails, and show the error. In order to do this, use the "-q" flag (to ignore not-up-to-date files) and add a new "--unmerged" flag that allows unmerged entries in the index without any errors. This also avoids marking the index "changed" if an entry isn't actually modified, and makes sure that we exit with an understandable error message if the index is corrupt or unreadable. "read_cache()" no longer returns an error for the caller to check. Finally, make die() and usage() exit with recognizable error codes, if we ever want to check the failure reason in scripts.

2005-09-27update-index: --stdin and -zLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-13/+41
The new option --stdin reads list of paths to be updated from the standard input. As usual, -z means the paths are terminated with NUL characters, as opposed to LF without that option. This is useful to use git-diff-files -z and git-ls-files -z when the platform xargs does not support -0 option, and obviously saves one process even when xargs can take -0.

Add -m/--modified to show files that have been modified wrt. the index.

2005-09-20Fast-path 'update-index --refresh' a bit.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+7
If the length in the stat information does not match what is recorded in the index, there is no point rehashing the contents to see if the index entry can be refreshed. We need to be a bit careful. Immediately after read-tree or checkout-index without -u, ce_size is set to zero and does not match the length of the blob that is recorded, and we need to actually look at the contents to see if it has been changed.

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+407
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
