Often I find myself wanting to do quick branches check when I am
not in the windowing environment and cannot run gitk.
This stupid script shows commits leading to the heads of
interesting branches with indication which ones belong to which
branches, so that fork point is somewhat discernible without
using gitk.
[PATCH] Add some simple howtos, culled from the mailing list.
I think these are useful, and I think putting them in a new "howto"

Add cheap local clone '-s' flag to git-clone-script
Using the $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates mechanism,
create a new repository that borrows objects from the original
repository when --shared flag is given in addition to --local.
It is worth pointing out that the "cloned" repository depends on
the original repository, so this should be used only when you
can reasonably trust that the original repository would not
disappear without your knowing.
It was a mistake to use GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES
environment variable to specify what alternate object pools to
look for missing objects when working with an object database.
It is not a property of the process running the git commands,
but a property of the object database that is partial and needs
other object pools to complete the set of objects it lacks.
This patch allows you to have $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates
whose contents is in exactly the same format as the environment
variable, to let an object database name alternate object pools
it depends on.
Linus brought up that documentation for many commands have
incorrect attribution. I started counting lines again, but
ended up adding a handful of missing manual pages.
[PATCH] plug memory leak in diff.c::diff_free_filepair()
When I run git-diff-tree on big change, it seems the command eats so
much memory. so I just put git under valgrind to see what's going on.
diff_free_filespec_data() doesn't free diff_filespec itself.
[jc: I ended up doing things slightly differently from Yasushi's
patch. The original idea was to use free_filespec_data() only to
free the data portion and keep useing the filespec itself, but
no existing code seems to do things that way, so I just yanked
that part out.]

The index cleanup code is executed via atexit() which is *after* main

[PATCH] Make sure git-resolve-script always works on commits
You can resolve a tag, and it does the right thing except that it might
end up writing the tag itself into the resulting HEAD, which will confuse
subsequent operations no end.
This makes sure that when we resolve two heads, we will have turned them
into proper commits before we start acting on them.
This also fixes the parsing of "treeish^0", which would incorrectly
resolve to "treeish" instead of causing an error.

Not that I have stricter patch submission standard than ordinary
projects, I wanted to have it to make sure people understand
what they are doing when they add their own Signed-off-by line.
As brought up in the discussion which followed a patch to add a
signed-off-by line with the --sign flag to format-patch from
Johannes Schindelin, add --signoff to the git commit command.
Also add --verify to make sure the lines you introduced are
clean, which is more useful in commit but not very much in
format-patch as it was originally implemented, because finding
botches at format-patch time is too late.
This patch renames COPTS to CFLAGS, because it's COPTS that was user
overridable. Also, -Wall is moved there because it's optional. What
was CFLAGS is now ALL_CFLAGS, which users should not override.
Defines are added to DEFINES. Since ALL_CFLAGS is recursively expanded,
it uses the final value of DEFINES.
Implicit rules are made explicit since the implicit rules use CFLAGS
rather than ALL_CFLAGS. I believe that serious projects should not rely
on implicit rules anyway. Percent rules are used because they are used
already and because they don't need the .SUFFIXES target.
[jc: in addition to updating the patch for 0.99.4, I fixed up a

This is a beginning of resurrecting the multi-head pulling support
for git-fetch-pack command. The git-fetch-script wrapper still
only knows about fetching a single head, without renaming, so it is
not very useful unless you directly call git-fetch-pack itself yet.
It also fixes a longstanding obsolete description of how the command
discovers the list of local commits.
In the case where we don't know from context what type an object is, but
we don't have to fetch it, we need to parse it to determine the type
before processing it.

[PATCH] Trapping exit in tests, using return for errors: further fixes.
"return" from a test would leave the exit trap set, which could cause a
spurious error message if it's the last test in the script or

The easiest solution would be to have a global trap that is set when
test-lib.sh is sourced and unset either by test_done(), error() or by
test_failure_() with --immediate.

[PATCH] Trapping exit in tests, using return for errors
I have noticed that "make test" fails without any explanations when the
"merge" utility is missing. I don't think tests should be silent in
case of failure.
It turned out that the particular test was using "exit" to interrupt the
test in case of an error. This caused the whole test script to exit.
No further tests would be run even if "--immediate" wasn't specified.
No error message was printed.
This patch does following:
All instances of "exit", "exit 1" and "(exit 1)" in tests have been
replaced with "return 1". In fact, "(exit 1)" had no effect.
File descriptor 5 is duplicated from file descriptor 1. This is needed
to print important error messages from tests.
New function test_run_() has been introduced. Any "return" in the test
would merely cause that function to return without skipping calls to
test_failure_() and test_ok_(). The new function also traps "exit" and
treats it like a fatal error (in case somebody reintroduces "exit" in
the tests).
test_expect_failure() and test_expect_success() check both the result of
eval and the return value of test_run_(). If the later is not 0, it's
always a failure because it indicates the the test didn't complete.

In commit 4f7eb2e5a351e0d1f19fd4eab7e92834cc4528c2 I fixed git-merge-base
getting confused by datestamps that caused it to traverse things in a
non-obvious order.
However, my fix was a very brute-force one, and it had some really
horrible implications for more complex trees with lots of parallell
development. It might end up traversing all the way to the root commit.
Now, normally that isn't that horrible: it's used mainly for merging, and
the bad cases really tend to happen fairly rarely, so if it takes a few
seconds, we're not in too bad shape.
However, gitk will also do the git-merge-base for every merge it shows,
because it basically re-does the trivial merge in order to show the
"interesting" parts. And there we'd really like the result to be
instantaneous.
This patch does that by walking the tree more completely, and using the
same heuristic as git-rev-list to decide "ok, the rest is uninteresting".
In one - hopefully fairly extreme - case, it made a git-merge-base go from
just under five seconds(!) to a tenth of a second on my machine.

Refine the update heuristic to improve responsiveness a bit.
The previous commit improved performance a lot but also meant that
we waited longer to see something drawn. This refines the heuristics
for when to call update so that (1) when we have finished processing
a bufferfull of information from git-rev-list, we call update if
enough time has elapsed, regardless of how many commits we've drawn,
and (2) the number of commits drawn between updates scales with the
total number of commits drawn: 1 for 1-99 commits, 10 for 100-9999
commits, or 100 for >= 10000 commits.
git-rev-parse HEAD^1 would fail, because of an off-by-one bug (but HEAD^
would yield the expected result). Also, when the parent does not exist, do
not silently return an incorrect SHA1. Of course, this no longer applies
to git-rev-parse alone, but every user of get_sha1().
While at it, add a test.

Only do an update every 100 commits when drawing the graph.
On a large repository with > 60,000 commits, each call to the Tk
update primitive (which gives Tk a chance to respond to events and
redraw the screen) was taking up to 0.2 seconds. Because the logic
was to call update after drawing a commit if 0.1 seconds had passed
since the last update call, we were calling it for every commit,
which was slowing us down enormously. Now we also require that we
have drawn 100 commits since the last update (as well as it being
at least 0.1 seconds since the last update). Drawing 100 commits
takes around 0.1 - 0.2 seconds (even in this large repo) on my G5.
Although it is uncertain if we would keep .git/branches for
long, the shorthand stored there can be used for pushing if it
is host:path/to/git format, so let's make use of it. This does
not use git-parse-remote because that script will be rewritten
quite a bit for updated pulling.
Although these commands take only begin and end, not necessarily
generic SHA1 expressions rev-parse supports, supporting a..b
notation is good for consistency. This commit adds such without
breaking backward compatibility.
Given one existing commit, revert the change the patch
introduces, and record a new commit that records it. This
requires your working tree to be clean (no modifications from
the HEAD commit).
This is based on what Linus posted to the list, with
enhancements he suggested, including the use of -M to attempt
reverting renames.
While moving '-m' to make room for CVS compatible "here is the
log message", enhance source of log parameters.
-m 'message': a command line parameter.
-F <file> : a file (use '-' to read from stdin).
-C <commit> : message in existing commit.
-c <commit> : message in existing commit (allows further editing).
Longer option names for these options are also available.
While we are at it, get rid of shell array bashism.
I haven't audited the rev-parse users, but I am having a feeling
that many of them would choke when they expect a couple of SHA1
object names and malicious user feeds them "--max-count=6" or
somesuch to shoot himself in the foot. Anyway, this adds a
couple of missing parameters that affect the list of revs to be
returned from rev-list, not the flags that affect how they are
presented by rev-list. I think that is the intention, but I am
not quite sure.

Use lf translation rather than binary when reading commit data.
The effect of this is that it allows Tcl to do the locale-specific

That means that commit messages in Russian or other languages should
be displayed correctly now (according to the locale that is in effect.)
Change cursor to a hand cursor when over a SHA1 ID link.
This is based on suggestions by Jeff Epler and Linus Torvalds, but
extended so that we do the switching between the watch cursor and
the normal cursor correctly as well.
Also fixed a bug pointed out by Junio Hamano - I wasn't incrementing
the link number (duh!).
This was triggered by a query by Sam Ravnborg, and extends "git reset" to
reset the index and the .git/HEAD pointer to an arbitrarily named point.
For example
git reset HEAD^
will just reset the current HEAD to its own parent - leaving the working
directory untouched, but effectively un-doing the top-most commit. You
might want to do this if you realize after you committed that you made a
mistake that you want to fix up: reset your HEAD back to its previous
state, fix up the working directory and re-do the commit.
If you want to totally un-do the commit (and reset your working directory
to that point too), you'd first use "git reset HEAD^" to reset to the
parent, and then do a "git checkout -f" to reset the working directory
state to that point in time too.

This is my first attempt to adjust Debian and RPM to pass
prefix, to prepare the 0.99.4 release.
It updates debian/rules and git-core.spec.in to properly pass
prefix when building binary packages. It also updates
debian/changelog to make the resulting binary package name
0.99.4; this is not needed on the RPM side (it takes the version
number from the main Makefile).
Per discussion with people interested in binary packaging,
change the default template location from /etc/git-core to
/usr/share/git-core hierarchy. If a user wants to run git
before installing for whatever reason, in addition to adding
$src to the PATH environment variable, git-init-db can be run
with --template=$src/templates/blt/ parameter.
send-pack: allow generic sha1 expression on the source side.
This extends the source side semantics to match what Linus
suggested.
An example:
$ git-send-pack kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git pu^^:master pu
would allow me to push the current pu into pu, and the
commit two commits before it into master, on my public
repository.
The revised rule for updating remote heads is as follows.
$ git-send-pack [--all] <remote> [<ref>...]
- When no <ref> is specified:
- with '--all', it is the same as specifying the full refs/*
path for all local refs;
- without '--all', it is the same as specifying the full
refs/* path for refs that exist on both ends;
- When one or more <ref>s are specified:
- a single token <ref> (i.e. no colon) must be a pattern that
tail-matches refs/* path for an existing local ref. It is
an error for the pattern to match no local ref, or more
than one local refs. The matching ref is pushed to the
remote end under the same name.
- <src>:<dst> can have different cases. <src> is first tried
as the tail-matching pattern for refs/* path.
- If more than one matches are found, it is an error.
- If one match is found, <dst> must either match no remote
ref and start with "refs/", or match exactly one remote
ref. That remote ref is updated with the sha1 value
obtained from the <src> sha1.
- If no match is found, it is given to get_extended_sha1();
it is an error if get_extended_sha1() does not find an
object name. If it succeeds, <dst> must either match
no remote ref and start with "refs/" or match exactly
one remote ref. That remote ref is updated with the sha1
value.
send-pack: allow the same source to be pushed more than once.
The revised code accidentally inherited the restriction that a
reference can be pushed only once, only because the original did
not allow renaming. This is no longer necessary so lift it.
