Earlier we had a workaround to avoid misspelled revision name to
be taken as a filename when "--no-revs --no-flags" are in
effect. This cleans up the logic.
Earlier, we made --base-path to automatically forbid
user-relative paths, which was probably a mistake. This
introduces --user-path (or --user-path=path) option to control
the use of user-relative paths independently. The latter form
of the option can be used to restrict accesses to a part of each
user's home directory, similar to "public_html" some webservers
supports.
If we're invoked with --user-path=FOO option, then a URL of the
form git://~USER/PATH/... resolves to the path HOME/FOO/PATH/...,
where HOME is USER's home directory.

In fill_active_slots() -- if we find an object which has already arrived,
say as part of a pack, /don't/ remove it from the list. It's already been
prefetched and someone will ask for it later. Just label it as done and
carry blithely on. (As it was, the code would dereference a freed object
to continue through the list anyway.)

This is essentially 'git whatchanged -n1 --always --cc "$@"'.
Just like whatchanged takes default flags from
whatchanged.difftree configuration, this uses show.difftree
configuration.
It could be made later to show unmerged state nicer than the
default as we did for diff-files later, but this would suffice
for now. We would like to make --cc the default for 'git diff'.
It _might_ make sense for certain users like gitk and gitview if
we had a single tool that gives --pretty and its diff even if
the diff is empty. Having said that, the flag --cc -m is too
specific. If some uses want to see the commit log even for an
empty diff, that flag should not be something only --cc honors.
Using "--verify" together with "--no-flags" makes perfect sense, but
git-rev-parse would complain about it when it saw a flag, even though it
would never actually use/output that flag.
This fixes it.

As far as I can see, create_subdirectories() in apply.c just
duplicates the functionality of safe_create_leading_directories() from
sha1_file.c. The former has a warm, fuzzy const parameter, but that's
not important.
The potential problem with EEXIST and creating directories should
never occur here, but will be removed by future
safe_create_leading_directories() changes. Other uses of EEXIST in
apply.c should be fine barring intentionally malicious behavior.

get_sha1_1: allow octopus^12 to be properly parsed.
We probably thought anybody who does more than 9 parents in an
Octopus is insane when this was initially done, but there is no
inherent reason to limit the number of independent topic
branches that happen to mature at the same time.
Our commit-tree allows up to 16 already, so at least we should
prepare to handle what we can produce, if only to be consistent.
combine-diff: finishing touches to git-diff-tree --cc
This updates the output format to make administrative lines more
consistent with the traditional diffs.
The "index" line shows blob object names from each parents
(separated by commas), double dots and the object name of the
resulting blob.
The hunk header line begins with N+1 '@' characters for N-way
diff, the line number L of the first line in the hunk and line
count C from the parent in "-L,C" format for each parents and
then the line number of the first line in the hunk and line
count from the resulting file in "+L,C" format, and finally
N+1 '@' characters (earlier versions had the line numbers from
the resulting file at the beginning).
The flag on the surviving lines meant "this parent is not
different" while the parent_map flag on the lost lines meant
"this parent is different", which was confusing. So swap the
meaning of on-bit in the flag. Also more heavily comment the
code.
Provide a more meaningful initial "From " line when using --compose in git-send-email.
git-send-email, when used with --compose, provided the user with a mbox-format
file to edit. Some users, however, were confused by the leading, blank, "From
" line, so this change puts the value that will appear on the From: line of the
actual email on this line, along with a note that the line is ignored.

Documentation: git-diff-tree --cc also omits empty commits
A misguided attempt to show logs at all time was inserted only to
the documentation of this flag. Worse yet, it was not even implemented,
causing more confusion. Drop it.
We might want to have an option to show --pretty even when there is no
diff output, but that is applicable to all forms of diff, not just --cc.
The code misplaced a raw hunk that consists of solely deleted
lines by one line. This showed e.g. Len's 12-way octopus
(9fdb62af in the linux-2.6), kernel/power/disk.c, hunk starting
at line 95, incorrectly.
The earlier change implemented "only two version" check but
without checking if the change rewrites from all the parents.
This implements a check to make sure that a change introduced
by the merge from all the parents is caught to be interesting.
Earlier logic was discarding hunks that has difference from only
one parent or the same difference from all but one parent. This
changes it to check if the differences on all lines are from the
same sets of parents. This discards more uninteresting hunks
and seems to match expectations more naturally.
When dealing with an insanely large Octopus, it is possible to
optimize by noticing that more than one parents have the same
blob and avoid running diff between a parent and the merge
result by reusing an earlier result.
So far, e.g. git-update-index --refresh was basically uninterruptable
by ctrl-c, since it hooked the SIGINT handler, but that handler would
only unlink the lockfile but not actually quit. This makes it propagate
the signal to the default handler.
Note that I expected it to work without resetting the signal handler to
SIG_DFL, but without that it ended in an infinite loop of tgkill()s -
is my glibc violating SUS or what?

Showing the same parent more than once for a commit does not
make much sense downstream, so stop it.
This can happen with an incorrectly made merge commit that
merges the same parent twice, but can happen in an otherwise
sane development history while squishing the history by taking
into account only commits that touch specified paths.
where 5 independent development tracks, only two of which have
changes in the specified paths since they forked. The last
change for the other three development tracks was done by the
same commit before they forked, and we were showing that three
times.
rev-list: allow -n<n> as shorthand for --max-count=<n>
Both -n<n> and -n <n> are supported. POSIX versions of head(1) and
tail(1) allow their line limits to be parsed this way. I find
--max-count to be a commonly used option, and also similar in spirit to
head/tail, so I decided to make life easier on my worn out (and lazy :)

Here's some changes to the cvs-migration.txt. As usual, in my attempt
to make things clearer someone may have found I've made them less so, or
I may have just gotten something wrong; so any review is welcomed.
I can break up this sort of thing into smaller steps if preferred, the
monolothic patch is just a bit simpler for me for this sort of
thing.
I moved the material describing shared repository management from
core-tutorial.txt to cvs-migration.txt, where it seems more appropriate,
and combined two sections to eliminate some redundancy.
I also revised the earlier sections of cvs-migration.txt, mainly trying
to make it more concise.
I've left the last section of cvs-migration.txt (on CVS annotate
alternatives) alone for now.

[PATCH] pre-commit sample hook: do not barf on the initial import
The example hook barfs on the initial import. Ideally it should
produce a diff from an empty tree, but for now let's stop at
squelching the bogus error message. Often an initial import
involves tons of badly formatted files from foreign SCM, so not
complaining about them like this patch does might actually be a
better idea than enforcing the "Perfect Patch" format on them.
diff-files -c/--cc: combine only when both ours and theirs exist.
The previous round forgot to make sure there actually are two
versions to compare against the working tree version. Otherwise
using -c/--cc would not make much sense.
rev-parse: make "whatchanged -- git-fetch-script" work again.
The latest update to avoid misspelled revs interfered when we
were not interested in parsing non flags or arguments not meant
for rev-list. This makes these two forms work again:
git whatchanged -- git-fetch-script
We could enable "!def" in the part this change touches to make
the above work without '--', but then it would cause misspelled
v2.6.14..v2.6.16 to be given to diff-tree and defeats the whole
point of the previous fix.
Earier specifying an abbreviation shorter than minimum fell back
to full 40 letters, which was nonsense. Make it to fall back to
the minimum number (currently 4).
When displaying Merge: lines, we used to take the real commit
parents from the commit objects. Use the parsed parents from
the commit object instead, so that we honor fake parent
information from info/grafts.
The usage of rev-parse to serve as a flag/option parser
for git-whatchanged and other commands have serious limitation
that the flags cannot be something that is supported by
rev-parse itself, and it cannot worked around easily. Since
this is rarely used "poor-man's describe", rename the option for
now as an easier workaround.
The minimum length of abbreviated object name was hardcoded in
different places to be 4, risking inconsistencies in the future.
Also there were three different "default abbreviation
precision". Use two C preprocessor symbols to clean up this
mess.
The one thing I've considered doing (I really should) is to add a "stop
when you don't find the file" option to "git-rev-list". This patch does
some of the work towards that: it removes the "parent" thing when the
file disappears, so a "git annotate" could do do something like
git-rev-list --remove-empty --parents HEAD -- "$filename"
and it would get a good graph that stops when the filename disappears
(it's not perfect though: it won't remove all the unintersting commits).
It also simplifies the logic of finding tree differences a bit, at the
cost of making it a tad less efficient.
The old logic was two-phase: it would first simplify _only_ merges tree as
it traversed the tree, and then simplify the linear parts of the remainder
independently. That was pretty optimal from an efficiency standpoint
because it avoids doing any comparisons that we can see are unnecessary,
but it made it much harder to understand than it really needed to be.
The new logic is a lot more straightforward, and compares the trees as it
traverses the graph (ie everything is a single phase). That makes it much
easier to stop graph traversal at any point where a file disappears.
As an example, let's say that you have a git repository that has had a
file called "A" some time in the past. That file gets renamed to B, and
then gets renamed back again to A. The old "git-rev-list" would show two
commits: the commit that renames B to A (because it changes A) _and_ as
its parent the commit that renames A to B (because it changes A).
With the new --remove-empty flag, git-rev-list will show just the commit
that renames B to A as the "root" commit, and stop traversal there
(because that's what you want for "annotate" - you want to stop there, and
for every "root" commit you then separately see if it really is a new
file, or if the paths history disappeared because it was renamed from some
other file).
With this patch, you should be able to basically do a "poor mans 'git
annotate'" with a fairly simple loop:
push("HEAD", "$filename")
while (revision,filename = pop()) {
for each i in $(git-rev-list --parents --remove-empty $revision -- "$filename")
pseudo-parents($i) = git-rev-list parents for that line
if (pseudo-parents($i) is non-empty) {
show diff of $i against pseudo-parents
continue
}
/* See if the _real_ parents of $i had a rename */
parent($i) = real-parent($i)
if (find-rename in $parent($i)->$i)
push $parent($i), "old-name"
}
which should be doable in perl or something (doing stacks in shell is just
too painful to be worth it, so I'm not going to do this).
This ports the "combined diff" to diff-files so that differences
to the working tree files since stage 2 and stage 3 are shown
the same way as combined diff output from diff-tree for the
merge commit would be shown if the current working tree files
are committed.
It considered an otherwise unchanged line that had line removals
in front of it an interesting line, which caused hunks to have
one extra the trailing context line.
diff-tree --cc: squelch header generation on empty patch.
Earlier round showed the commit log header and "diff --combined"
header even for paths that had no interesting hunk under --cc
flag. Move the header display logic around to squelch them.
With this, a merge that does not have any interesting merges
will not be shown with --cc option, unless -m is used at the
same time.
Santi Bejar points out that a hunk that changes from all the
same common parents except one is uninteresting. The earlier
round marked changes from only one parent uninteresting, but
this also marks hunks that have the same change from all but one
parent uninteresting, which is a natural extension of the
original idea to Octopus merges.
Remove extra whitespace between the change indicators and the
body text. That is more in line with the uncombined unified
diff output (pointed out by Santi Bejar).
When showing --cc, say so instead of saying just --combined.
combine-diff: fix appending at the tail of a list.
... and use the established pattern of tail initialized to point
at the head pointer for an empty list, and updated to point at
the next pointer field of the item at the tail when appending.
diff-tree --cc: denser combined diff output for a merge commit.
Building on the previous '-c' (combined) option, '--cc' option
squelches the output further by omitting hunks that consist of
difference with solely one parent.
diff-tree -c: show a merge commit a bit more sensibly.
A new option '-c' to diff-tree changes the way a merge commit is
displayed when generating a patch output. It shows a "combined
diff" (hence the option letter 'c'), which looks like this:
$ git-diff-tree --pretty -c -p fec9ebf1 | head -n 18
diff-tree fec9ebf... (from parents)
Merge: 0620db3... 8a263ae...
Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

There are a few things to note about this feature:
- The '-c' option implies '-p'. It also implies '-m' halfway
in the sense that "interesting" merges are shown, but not all
merges.
- When a blob matches one of the parents, we do not show a diff
for that path at all. For a merge commit, this option shows
paths with real file-level merge (aka "interesting things").
- As a concequence of the above, an "uninteresting" merge is
not shown at all. You can use '-m' in addition to '-c' to
show the commit log for such a merge, but there will be no
combined diff output.
- Unlike "gitk", the output is monochrome.
A '-' character in the nth column means the line is from the nth
parent and does not appear in the merge result (i.e. removed
from that parent's version).
A '+' character in the nth column means the line appears in the
merge result, and the nth parent does not have that line
(i.e. added by the merge itself or inherited from another
parent).
The above example output shows that the function signature was
changed from either parents (hence two "-" lines and a "++"
line), and "unsigned char sha1[20]", prefixed by a " +", was
inherited from the first parent.
The code as sent to the list was buggy in few corner cases,
which I have fixed since then.
It does not bother to keep track of and show the line numbers
from parent commits, which it probably should.
merge: seed the commit message with list of conflicted files.
The files with conflicts need to be hand resolved, and it is a
good discipline for the committer to explain which branch was
taken and why. Pre-fill the merge message template with the
list of conflicted paths to encourage it.
Johannes noticed the recent addition of this new flag
inadvertently took over existing --update-head-ok (-u). Require
longer abbreviation to this new option which would be needed in
a rare setup.
This makes read_tree_recursive and read_tree take a struct tree
instead of a buffer. It also move the declaration of read_tree into
tree.h (where struct tree is defined), and updates ls-tree and
diff-index (the only places that presently use read_tree*()) to use
the new versions.
