git-svn: teach dcommit about svn auto-props

Subversion repositories often require files to have properties such as
svn:mime-type and svn:eol-style set when they are added. Users
typically set these properties automatically using the SVN auto-props
feature with 'svn add'. This commit teaches dcommit to look at the user
SVN configuration and apply matching auto-props entries for files added
by a diff as it is applied to the SVN remote.

Windows: Make sure argv[0] has a path

Since the exec-path on Windows is derived from the program invocation path,
we must ensure that argv[0] always has a path. Unfortunately, if a program
is invoked from CMD, argv[0] has no path. But on the other hand, the
C runtime offers a global variable, _pgmptr, that always has the full path
to the program. We hook into main() with a preprocessor macro, where we
replace argv[0].

Allow add_path() to add non-existent directories to the path

This function had used make_absolute_path(); but this function dies if
the directory that contains the entry whose relative path was supplied in
the argument does not exist. This is a problem if the argument is, for
example, "../libexec/git-core", and that "../libexec" does not exist.

Since the resolution of symbolic links is not required for elements in
PATH, we can fall back to using make_nonrelative_path(), which simply
prepends $PWD to the path.

We have to move make_nonrelative_path() alongside make_absolute_path() in
abspath.c so that git-shell can be linked. See 5b8e6f85f.

If GIT_EXEC_PATH (the macro that is defined in the Makefile) is relative,
it is interpreted relative to the command's invocation path, which usually
is $(bindir).

Fix relative built-in paths to be relative to the command invocation

$(gitexecdir) (as defined in the Makefile) has gained another path
component, but the relative paths in the MINGW section of the Makefile,
which are interpreted relative to it, do not account for it.

Instead of adding another ../ in front of the path, we change the code that
constructs the absolute paths to do it relative to the command's directory,
which is essentially $(bindir). We do it this way because we will also
allow a relative $(gitexecdir) later.

Therefore, we introduce git_set_argv0_path() and call it as soon as

Makefile: Normalize $(bindir) and $(gitexecdir) before comparing

The install target needs to check whether the user has opted to make
$(gitexecdir) equal to $(bindir). It did so by a straight string
comparison. Since we are going to allow a relative $(gitexecdir), we have
to normalize paths before comparison, which we do with $(cd there && pwd).

The normalized paths are stored in shell variables. These we can now
reuse in the subsequent install statements, which conveniently shortens

Makefile: Do not install a copy of 'git' in $(gitexecdir)

There is already a copy in $(bindir). A subsequent patch will enable git
to derive the exec-path from its invocation path. If git is invoked
recursively, the first invocation puts the exec-path into PATH, so that
the recursive invocation would find the instance in the exec-path. This
second instance would again try to derive an exec-path from its invocation
path, but would base its result on the wrong "bindir".

We do install the copy of git first, but remove it later, so that we can
use it as the source of the hardlinks for the builtins.

git-checkout: improve error messages, detect ambiguities.

The patch is twofold: it moves the option consistency checks just under
the parse_options call so that it doesn't get in the way of the tree
reference vs. pathspecs desambiguation.

The other part rewrites the way to understand arguments so that when
git-checkout fails it does with an understandable message. Compared to the
previous behavior we now have:

- a better error message when doing:

git checkout <blob reference> --

now complains about the reference not pointing to a tree, instead of
things like:

error: pathspec <blob reference> did not match any file(s) known to git.
error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git.

- a better error message when doing:

git checkout <path> --

It now complains about <path> not being a reference instead of the
completely obscure:

error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git.

- an error when -- wasn't used, and the first argument is ambiguous
(i.e. can be interpreted as both ref and as path).

builtin-branch.c: optimize --merged and --no-merged

"git branch --no-merged $commit" used to compute the merge base between
the tip of each and every branch with the named $commit, but this was
wasteful when you have many branches. Inside append_ref() we literally
ran has_commit() between the tip of the branch and the merge_filter_ref.

Instead, we can let the revision machinery traverse the history as if we
are running:

$ git rev-list --branches --not $commit

by queueing the tips of branches we encounter as positive refs (this
mimicks the "--branches" option in the above command line) and then

calling prepare_revision_walk() to limit the list..

After the traversal is done, branch tips that are reachable from $commit

commits that are not reachable from $commit, thus "--no-merged" will show
them.

rebase -i: When an 'edit' stops, mention the commitJohannes Sixt Wed, 23 Jul 2008 07:46:35 +0000 (09:46 +0200)

rebase -i: When an 'edit' stops, mention the commit

In a rebase session where more than one commit is to be 'edit'ed, and the
user spends considerable time to 'edit' a commit, it is easy to forget what
one wanted to 'edit' at the individual commits. It would be helpful to see
at which commit the rebase stopped.

Incidentally, if the rebase stopped due to merge conflicts or other errors,
the commit was already reported ("Could not apply $sha1..."), but when
rebase stopped after successfully applying an "edit" commit, it would not
mention it. With this change the commit is reported.

sort_in_topological_order(): avoid setting a commit... Johannes Schindelin Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:51:36 +0000 (01:51 +0100)

sort_in_topological_order(): avoid setting a commit flag

We used to set the TOPOSORT flag of commits during the topological
sorting, but we can just as well use the member "indegree" for it:
indegree is now incremented by 1 in the cases where the commit used
to have the TOPOSORT flag.

This is the same behavior as before, since indegree could not be
non-zero when TOPOSORT was unset.

Incidentally, this fixes the bug in show-branch where the 8th column
was not shown: show-branch sorts the commits in topological order,
assuming that all the commit flags are available for show-branch's
private matters.

But this was not true: TOPOSORT was identical to the flag corresponding
to the 8th ref. So the flags for the 8th column were unset by the
topological sorting.

"needs update" considered harmfulJunio C Hamano Sun, 20 Jul 2008 07:21:38 +0000 (00:21 -0700)

"needs update" considered harmful

"git update-index --refresh", "git reset" and "git add --refresh" have
reported paths that have local modifications as "needs update" since the
beginning of git.

Although this is logically correct in that you need to update the index at
that path before you can commit that change, it is now becoming more and
more clear, especially with the continuous push for user friendliness
since 1.5.0 series, that the message is suboptimal. After all, the change
may be something the user might want to get rid of, and "updating" would
be absolutely a wrong thing to do if that is the case.

I prepared two alternatives to solve this. Both aim to reword the message
to more neutral "locally modified".

This patch is a more intrusive variant that changes the message for only
Porcelain commands ("add" and "reset") while keeping the plumbing
"update-index" intact.

git-add --all: add all filesJunio C Hamano Sun, 20 Jul 2008 02:51:11 +0000 (19:51 -0700)

git-add --all: add all files

People sometimes find that "git add -u && git add ." are 13 keystrokes too
many. This reduces it by nine.

The support of this has been very low priority for me personally, because
I almost never do "git add ." in a directory with already tracked files,
and in a new directory, there is no point saying "git add -u".

However, for two types of people (that are very different from me), this
mode of operation may make sense and there is no reason to leave it
unsupported. That is:

(1) If you are extremely well disciplined and keep perfect .gitignore, it
always is safe to say "git add ."; or

(2) If you are extremely undisciplined and do not even know what files
you created, and you do not very much care what goes in your history,
it does not matter if "git add ." included everything.

So there it is, although I suspect I will not use it myself, ever.

It will be too much of a change that is against the expectation of the
existing users to allow "git commit -a" to include untracked files, and
it would be inconsistent if we named this new option "-a", so the short
option is "-A". We _might_ want to later add "git commit -A" but that is
a separate topic.

builtin-add.c: restructure the code for maintainabilityJunio C Hamano Sun, 20 Jul 2008 02:22:25 +0000 (19:22 -0700)

builtin-add.c: restructure the code for maintainability

The implementation of "git add" has four major codepaths that are mutually
exclusive:

- if "--interactive" or "--patch" is given, spawn "git add--interactive"
and exit without doing anything else. Otherwise things are handled
internally in this C code;

- if "--update" is given, update the modified files and exit without
doing anything else;

- if "--refresh" is given, do refresh and exit without doing anything
else;

- otherwise, find the paths that match pathspecs and stage their
contents.

It led to an unholy mess in the code structure; each of the latter three
codepaths has a separate call to read_cache(), even though they are all
about "read the current index, update it and write it back", and logically
they should read the index once _anyway_.

This cleans up the latter three cases by introducing a pair of helper
variables:

- "add_new_files" is set if we need to scan the working tree for paths
that match the pathspec. This variable is false for "--update" and
"--refresh", because they only work on already tracked files.

- "require_pathspec" is set if the user must give at least one pathspec.
"--update" does not need it but all the other cases do.

This is in preparation for introducing a new option "--all", that does the
equivalent of "git add -u && git add ." (aka "addremove").
