git-push: avoid falling back on pushing "matching"... Junio C Hamano Thu, 12 Jan 2006 23:29:12 +0000 (15:29 -0800)

git-push: avoid falling back on pushing "matching" refs.

The underlying "git send-pack remote.host:path" pushes all the
matching refs that both local and remote have, and "git push"
blindly inherits this property. Which probably was a mistake.

A typical cloned repository (e.g. a subsystem repository cloned
from Linus repository) has at least two branches, "master" to
keep the subsystem and "origin" that records tip of Linus
"master" when the repository was cloned. If this is the public
repository for the subsystem, then subsystem developers would
clone it, and then cloned ones have "master" and "origin". When
developers use this public subsystem repository as a shared
repository, pushing into it via "git push subsys:/path/name"
would try to push the matching refs, "master" and "origin", from
the developers' repositories. The "origin" in the public shared
repository does not have much relevance, yet pushing into
"origin" would cause "not a fast forward" checks to be
triggered. Arguably "git push subsys:/path/name master" would
work it around, but having them to say it explicitly to avoid
pushing into "origin" as well is bad.

This commit requires you to give at least one refspec to
git-push. You could "give" by either:

(1) Listing the refspec(s) explicitly on the command line.
E.g. "git push subsys:/path/name master".

(2) Using --all or --tags on the command line.
E.g. "git push --tags subsys:/path/name".

(3) Using a $GIT_DIR/remotes shorthand with 'Push: refspec'
line in it.

Unlike pull that can happen pretty much promiscuously, people
will push into the same set of a limited number of remote
repositories repeatedly over the life of the project, so it is
reasonable to assume they would want to keep a $GIT_DIR/remotes/
entry for those repositories even only to save typing the URL,
so keeping the default 'Push: refspec' line in such is a
sensible thing to do.

It was suggested to further fall back on pushing the current
branch, but this commit does not implement it. If developers
adopt topic branch workflow, pushing to public while on a topic
branch by mistake would expose the topic branch to the public
repository. Not falling back to the current branch prevents
that mistake from happening.

checkout: merge local modifications while switching... Junio C Hamano Thu, 12 Jan 2006 22:04:36 +0000 (14:04 -0800)

checkout: merge local modifications while switching branches.

* Instead of going interactive, introduce a command line switch
'-m' to allow merging changes when normal two-way merge by
read-tree prevents branch switching.

* Leave the unmerged stages intact if automerge fails, but
reset index entries of cleanly merged paths to that of the
new branch, so that "git diff" (not "git diff HEAD") would
show the local modifications.

* Swap the order of trees in read-tree three-way merge used in
the fallback, so that `git diff` to show the conflicts become
more natural.

* Describe the new option and give more examples in the documentation.

checkout: automerge local changes while switching branches.

When switching branches, if the working tree has a local
modification at paths that are different between current and new
branches, we refused the operation saying "cannot merge." This
attempts to do an automerge for such paths.

This is still experimental.

Exec git programs without using PATH.Michal Ostrowski Wed, 11 Jan 2006 02:12:17 +0000 (21:12 -0500)

Exec git programs without using PATH.

The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as
git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for
logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not
desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's
intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH.

- git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands.
- exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in
the following directories:
1. --exec-path (as used by "git")
2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable.
3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)).
- git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to
invoke "git-foo" commands.

Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent
of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

We rejected multi-base merge situations even though we used the

Also when the merge did not trivially resolve, we rejected
without stating that octopus strategy does not handle the

[PATCH] Compilation: zero-length array declaration.

ISO C99 (and GCC 3.x or later) lets you write a flexible array
at the end of a structure, like this:

struct frotz {

};

GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]";
unfortunately this is not allowed by ISO C90.

This declares such construct like this:

struct frotz {
int xyzzy;
char nitfol[FLEX_ARRAY]; /* more */
};

and git-compat-util.h defines FLEX_ARRAY to 0 for gcc 2.95 and
empty for others.

If you are using a C90 C compiler, you should be able
to override this with CFLAGS=-DFLEX_ARRAY=1 from the
command line of "make".

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"

Fix nasty approxidate bugLinus Torvalds Thu, 5 Jan 2006 03:33:55 +0000 (19:33 -0800)

Fix nasty approxidate bug

Stupid me.

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.

extern char *regex(const char *, const char *, ...);
extern char *regcmp(const char *, ...);

Add a "git-describe" commandLinus Torvalds Sat, 24 Dec 2005 21:50:45 +0000 (13:50 -0800)

Add a "git-describe" command

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:

[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent
refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b

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:

[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4
refs/tags/v1.0.4

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:

[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6
refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c

and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in
v2.6.14-rc5.

The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a
commit happened in.
