Introduce --only flag to allow the new "partial commit"
semantics when paths are specified. The default is still the
traditional --include semantics. Once peoples' fingers and
scripts that want the traditional behaviour are updated to
explicitly say --include, we could change it to either default
to --only, or refuse to operate without either --only/--include
when paths are specified.
This also fixes a couple of bugs in the previous round. Namely:
- forgot to save/restore index in some cases.
- forgot to use the temporary index to show status when '--only
paths...' semantics was used.
- --author did not take precedence when reusing an existing
commit.
- "git commit" without _any_ parameter keeps the traditional
behaviour. It commits the current index.
We commit the whole index even when this form is run from a
subdirectory.
- "git commit --include paths..." (or "git commit -i paths...")
is equivalent to:
git update-index --remove paths...
git commit
- "git commit paths..." acquires a new semantics. This is an
incompatible change that needs user training, which I am
still a bit reluctant to swallow, but enough people seem to
have complained that it is confusing to them. It
1. refuses to run if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists, and reminds
trained git users that the traditional semantics now needs
-i flag.
2. refuses to run if named paths... are different in HEAD and
the index (ditto about reminding). Added paths are OK.
3. reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file.
4. updates named paths... from the working tree in this
temporary index.
5. does the same updates of the paths... from the working
tree to the real index.
6. makes a commit using the temporary index that has the
current HEAD as the parent, and updates the HEAD with this
new commit.
- "git commit --all" can run from a subdirectory, but it updates
the index with all the modified files and does a whole tree
commit.
- In all cases, when the command decides not to create a new
commit, the index is left as it was before the command is
run. This means that the two "git diff" in the following
sequence:
$ git diff
$ git commit -a
$ git diff
would show the same diff if you abort the commit process by
making the commit log message empty.
This commit also introduces much requested --author option.
$ git commit --author 'A U Thor <author@example.com>'
In a workflow that employs relatively long lived topic branches,
the developer sometimes needs to resolve the same conflict over
and over again until the topic branches are done (either merged
to the "release" branch, or sent out and accepted upstream).
This commit introduces a new command, "git rerere", to help this
process by recording the conflicted automerge results and
corresponding hand-resolve results on the initial manual merge,
and later by noticing the same conflicted automerge and applying
the previously recorded hand resolution using three-way merge.
If the first part uses quoted-printable to protect iso8859-1
name in the commit log, and the second part was plain ascii text
patchfile without even Content-Transfer-Encoding subheader, we
incorrectly tried to decode the patch as quoted printable.
Docs: move git url and remotes text to separate sections
The sections on git urls and remotes files in the git-fetch,
git-pull, and git-push manpages seem long enough to be worth a
manpage section of their own.

The push and pull man pages include a bunch of shared text from
pull-fetch-param.txt. This simplifies maintenance somewhat, but
there's actually quite a bit of text that applies only to one or the
other.
So, separate out the push- and pull/fetch-specific text into
pull-fetch-param.txt and git-push.txt, then include the largest chunk
of common stuff (the description of protocols and url's) from
urls.txt. That cuts some irrelevant stuff from the man pages without
making us duplicate too much.

combine-diff: do not punt on removed or added files.
When we remove a file, the parents' contents are all removed so
it is not that interesting to show all of them, but the fact it
was removed when all parents had it *is* unusual. When we add a
file, similarly the fact it was added when no parent wanted it
*is* unusual, and in addition the result matters, so show it.
gitk: Use git-diff-tree --cc for showing the diffs for merges
This replaces a lot of code that used the result from several 2-way
diffs to generate a combined diff for a merge. Now we just use
git-diff-tree --cc and colorize the output a bit, which is a lot
simpler, and has the enormous advantage that if the diff doesn't
show quite what someone thinks it should show, I can deflect the
blame to someone else. :)
Apparently this simplifies things for the parser/compiler and makes
it go slightly faster (since without the braces, it potentially has
to do two levels of substitutions rather than one).

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.

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.

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.
