show-branch: take default arguments from configuration file.
This lets showbranch.default multivalued configuration item to
be used as the default set of parameters to git-show-branch when
none is given on the command line.
I keep many topic branches (e.g. zzz/pack, net/misc) and
branches used only as a reference under subdirectories
(e.g. hold/{html,man,todo} track the same from git.git, but
clutters the show-branch output when shown along with the main
development; ko/master tracks what I have pushed out already and
refetched from the kernel.org server), and often run:
$ git show-branch ko/master heads/*
to view only the ko/master head and branches I keep immediately
under $GIT_DIR/refs/heads. With this change, I can have this in
my $GIT_DIR/config file:
Tommi Virtanen expressed a wish on #git to be able to use short and elegant
git URLs by making git-daemon 'root' in a given directory. This patch
implements this, causing git-daemon to interpret all paths relative to
the given base path if any is given.

The main loop was prepared to take more than one revs, but the actual
naming logic wad not (it used pop_most_recent_commit while forgetting
that the commit marks stay after it's done).
ls-files --others --directory: give trailing slash
This adds a trailing slash to directory names in the output
when "--others --directory" option shows only untracked
directories and not their contents, to make them stand out.
ls-files --others --directory: fix a bug with index entry ordering
When both howto-index.sh and howto/make-dist.txt exist under
Documentation/ directory, dir_exists() mistakenly checked it
without the trailing slash to see if there was something under
Documentation/howto directory, and did not realize there was,
because '-' sorts earlier than '/' and cache_name_pos() finds
howto-index.sh, which is not under howto/ directory. This
caused --others --directory to show it which was incorrect.
Check the directory name with the trailing slash, because having
an entry that has such as a prefix is what we are looking for.
ls-files -o: optionally skip showing the contents in "untracked" directories
Darrin Thompson notes that git-ls-files -o reports all the unknown
files it finds in a work area. Subversion and probably other systems
"simply ignore all the files and directories inside an unknown
directory and just note the directory as unknown."
With --directory option, ls-files --others shows untracked directories
without descending into them.
I added things to ls-remote so that Cogito can auto-follow tags
easily and correctly a while ago, but git-fetch did not use the
facility. Recently added git-describe command relies on
repository keeping up-to-date set of tags, which made it much
more attractive to automatically follow tags, so we do that as
well.
prune: do not show error from pack-redundant when no packs are found.
When there is no pack yet, git-prune leaked an error message
from "git-pack-redundant --all" which complained that there is
no pack. Squelch the annoying message.
The official maintainer is keeping up-to-date quite well, and now
the older Debian is supported with backports.org, there is no reason
for me to keep debian/ directory around here.
I have not been building and publishing debs since 1.0.4 anyway.
"cvs add" support was already there, but the "unknown" status
returned when querying a file not yet known to cvs caused the
script to abort prematurely.
Make GIT-VERSION-GEN tolerate missing git describe command
I think it is probably a bug that "git non_existent_command"
returns its error message to stdout without an error, where
"git-non_existent_command" behaves differently and does return an
error.
Older versions of git did not implement "git describe" and
GIT-VERSION-GEN produces an empty version string if run on
a system with such a git installed. The consequence
is that "make rpm" fails.
This patch fixes GIT-VERSION-GEN so that it works in the
absence of a working "git describe"

If approxidate ends up with a month that is ahead of the current month, it
decrements the year to last year.
Which is correct, and means that "last december" does the right thing.
HOWEVER. It should only do so if the year is the same as the current year.
Without this fix, "5 days ago" ends up being in 2004, because it first
decrements five days, getting us to December 2005 (correct), but then it
also ends up decrementing the year once more to turn that December into
"last year" (incorrect, since it already _was_ last year).
Duh. Pass me a donut.

send-pack/receive-pack: allow errors to be reported back to pusher.
This updates the protocol between git-send-pack/git-receive-pack
in a backward compatible way to allow failures at the receiving
end to be propagated back to the sender. Most notably, versions
of git-push before this could not notice if the update hook on
the receiving end refused to update the ref for its own policy
reasons.
Makefile: use git-describe to mark the git version.
Note: with this commit, the GIT maintainer workflow must change.
GIT-VERSION-GEN is now the file to munge when the default
version needs to be changed, not Makefile. The tag needs to be
pushed into the repository to build the official tarball and
binary package beforehand.
git-describe: still prefer annotated tag under --all and --tags
Even though --all and --tags can be used to include non
annotated tags in the reference point candidates, prefer to use
annotated tags if there are more than one refs that name the
same commit.
Often there are references other than annotated tags under
refs/tags hierarchy that are used to "keep things just in case".
default to use annotated tags only, still leaving the option to
use any ref with --all flag.
It shows you the most recent tag that is reachable from a particular
commit is.
Maybe this is something that "git-name-rev" should be taught to do,
instead of having a separate command for it. Regardless, I find it useful.
What it does is to take any random commit, and "name" it by looking up the
most recent commit that is tagged and reachable from that commit. If the
match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise
it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA".
IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get:
ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4,
but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash
of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit 2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6.
Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path:
unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it
will just choose one at random.
This is useful for two things:
- automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in
git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a
much more useful description of exactly what version was installed.
- for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or
"git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can
figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug
in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do:
Starting from this one I won't be touching debian/ directory
since the official maintainer seems to be reasonably quick to
package up things. The packaging procedure used there seems to
be quite different from what I have, so I'd like to avoid
potential confusion and reduce work by the official maintainer
and myself.
This patch converts a stat() to an lstat() call, thereby fixing the case
when the date of a symlink was not the same as the one recorded in the
index. The included test case demonstrates this.
This is for the case that the symlink points to a non-existing file. If
the file exists, worse things than just an error message happen.

Johannes found that the test has 1/256 chance of falsely
producing an uncorrupted idx file, causing the check to detect
corruption fail. Now we have 1/2^160 chance of false failure

Avoid asking for zero bytes when that change simplifies overall

platforms that return NULL for zero byte request.
are set group writable (and g+s, since the git group may be not the primary
group of all users).
Since all files are written as lock files first, and then moved to
their destination, they do not have to be group writable. Indeed, if
this leads to problems you found a bug.
Note that -- as in my first attempt -- the config variable is set in the
function which checks the repository format. If this were done in
git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need to be modified
to call git_config(git_default_config) first.

We did not distinguish the case the user asked not to make a
commit with --no-commit flag and the automerge failed. Tell
these cases apart and phrase dying message differently.
. It simplifies the logic to handle the case in which no
refs are given on the command line, and fixes the bug
when only "--heads" is specified. Earlier we showed
them twice.
. It avoids to add the same ref twice.
. It sorts the glob result (e.g. "git show-branch
'tags/v1.0*'") according to a more version friendly
sort order.
Adjust to ls-tree --full-name when run from a subdirectory.
A proposed change to show cwd relative paths by default from
ls-tree when run from a subdirectory means we would need to
give --full-name option to it.
ls-tree: chomp leading directories when run from a subdirectory
When run from a subdirectory, even though we filtered the output
based on where we were using pathspec, we wrote out the
repository relative paths, not subtree relative paths. This
changes things so that it shows only the current subdirectory
relative paths.
For example, in Documentation subdirectory of git itself, this
used to be the case:
$ git-ls-tree --name-only HEAD | grep how
Documentation/git-show-branch.txt
Documentation/git-show-index.txt
Documentation/howto-index.sh
Documentation/howto
But now it does this instead:
$ git-ls-tree --name-only HEAD | grep how
git-show-branch.txt
git-show-index.txt
howto-index.sh
howto
There are two things to keep in mind.
1. This shows nothing.
$ git-ls-tree --name-only HEAD ../ppc/
This is to make things consistent with ls-files, which
refuses relative path that goes uplevel.
2. These show things in full repository relative paths. In this
case, paths outside the current subdirectory are also shown.
$ git-ls-tree --name-only --full-name HEAD | grep how
Documentation/git-show-branch.txt
Documentation/git-show-index.txt
Documentation/howto-index.sh
Documentation/howto
$ git-ls-tree --name-only --full-name HEAD ../ppc/
ppc/sha1.c
ppc/sha1.h
ppc/sha1ppc.S
The flag --full-name gives the same behaviour as 1.0, so it
ought to be the default if we really care about the backward
compatibility, but in practice no Porcelain runs ls-tree from a
subdirectory yet, and without --full-name is more human
friendly, so hopefully the default being not --full-name would
be acceptable.
We could of course chdir to top and do the whole-tree checkout
in git-checkout, but the point is the operation does not make
sense on a partial tree. The whole tree is checked out.
The other form is to update the index file and working tree file
selectively:
git-checkout <treeish> <file>... ;# out of tree to index and file
git-checkout -- <file>... ;# out of index to file
This form _does_ make sense to run from subdirectory; and I
myself often wish we supported this.
