git-am: cope better with an empty Subject: line

When the Subject: line is empty for whatever reason, git-am was fooled by
it and left an empty line at the beginning of the resulting commit log
message.

This moves the logic around so that we do not keep $SUBJECT in a separate
variable. Instead, $dotest/msg-clean, which used to be the log message
body extracted from the message and then trailing whitespaces cleansed
out, now contains the subject line followed by a blank line at the
beginning for normal messages, and we use the first line from the file as
the summary line throughout the program.

bisect: squelch "fatal: ref HEAD not a symref" misleadi... Christian Couder Wed, 16 Apr 2008 02:09:49 +0000 (04:09 +0200)

bisect: squelch "fatal: ref HEAD not a symref" misleading message

To get the current HEAD when we start bisecting using for example
"git bisect start", we first try "git symbolic-ref HEAD" to get a
nice name, and if it fails, we fall back to "git rev-parse
--verify HEAD".

The problem is that when "git symbolic-ref HEAD" fails, it
displays "fatal: ref HEAD not a symref", so it looks like "git
bisect start" failed and does not accept detached HEAD, even if
in fact it worked fine.

This patch adds "-q" option to the "git symbolic-ref" call to
get rid of the misleading error message.

Clarify documentation of git-cvsserver, particularly in relation to git-shell

For SSH clients restricted to git-shell, CVS_SERVER does not have to be
specified, because git-shell understands the default value of 'cvs' to
mean git-cvsserver'. This makes it totally transparent to CVS users, but
the instruction to set up CVS access for people with real shell access
does not apply.

Previous wording mentioning GIT_AUTHOR, GIT_COMMITTER variables was
unclear that we really meant GIT_AUTHOR_(NAME|EMAIL), etc.

Note that the .ssh/environment file is a good place to set these, and that
the .bashrc is shell-specific. Add a bit of text to differentiate cvs -d
(setting CVSROOT) from cvs co -d (setting the name of the newly checked
out directory). Removed an extra 'Example:' string.

git clean: Don't automatically remove directories when run within subdirectory

When git clean is run from a subdirectory it should follow the normal
policy and only remove directories if they are passed in as a pathspec,
or -d is specified.

The fix is to send len which could be shorter than ent->len because we
have stripped the trailing '/' that read_directory adds. Additionaly
match_one() was modified to allow a name[] that is not NUL terminated.
This allows us to check if the name matched the pathspec exactly
instead of recursively.

git-submodule - possibly use branch name to describe... Mark Levedahl Tue, 15 Apr 2008 02:48:06 +0000 (22:48 -0400)

git-submodule - possibly use branch name to describe a module

This changes the search logic for describing a submodule from:
- annotated tag
- any tag
- tag on a subsequent commit
- commit id

to

- annotated tag
- any tag
- tag on a subsequent commit
- local or remote branch
- commit id

The change is describing with respect to a branch before falling
back to the commit id. By itself, git-submodule will maintain submodules
as headless checkouts without ever making a local branch. In
general, such heads can always be described relative to the remote branch
regardless of existence of tags, and so provides a better fallback
summary than just the commit id.

This requires inserting an extra describe step as --contains is
incompatible with --all, but the latter can be used with --always
to fall back to a commit ID. Also, --contains implies --tags, so the
latter is not needed.

bisect: fix bad rev checking in "git bisect good"

It seems that "git bisect good" and "git bisect skip" have never
properly checked arguments that have been passed to them. As soon
as one of them can be parsed as a SHA1, no error or warning would
be given.

This is because 'git rev-parse --revs-only --no-flags "$@"' always
"exit 0" and outputs all the SHA1 it can found from parsing "$@".

This patch fix this by using, for each "bisect good" argument, the
same logic as for the "bisect bad" argument.

While at it, this patch teaches "bisect bad" to give a meaningfull
error message when it is passed more than one argument.

Note that if "git bisect good" or "git bisect skip" is given some
proper revs and then something that is not a proper rev, then the
first proper revs will still have been marked as "good" or "skip".

log: teach "terminator" vs "separator" mode to "--pretty=format"

This attached patch introduces a single bit "use_terminator" in "struct
rev_info", which is normally false (i.e. most formats use separator
semantics) but by flipping it to true, you can ask for terminator
semantics just like oneline format does.

The function get_commit_format(), which is what parses "--pretty=" option,
now takes a pointer to "struct rev_info" and updates its commit_format and
use_terminator fields. It used to return the value of type "enum
cmit_fmt", but all the callers assigned it to rev->commit_format.

There are only two cases the code turns use_terminator on. Obviously, the
traditional oneline format (--pretty=oneline) is one of them, and the new
case is --pretty=tformat:... that acts like --pretty=format:... but flips
the bit on.

With this, "--pretty=tformat:%H %s" acts like --pretty=oneline.

counterintuitive, since by giving it _more_ information, we
get _less_ result.

The usage model can now be thought of as:

- "git remote show": show all remotes
- "git remote": assume "show"; i.e., shorthand for "git remote show"

There was code in update_local_ref for handling this case,
but it never actually got called. It assumed that storing in

On top of that, the display formatting was different from

nobody had ever actually seen the output.

sha1-lookup: make selection of 'middle' less aggressiveJunio C Hamano Sun, 30 Dec 2007 11:13:27 +0000 (03:13 -0800)

sha1-lookup: make selection of 'middle' less aggressive

If we pick 'mi' between 'lo' and 'hi' at 50%, which was what the
simple binary search did, we are halving the search space
whether the entry at 'mi' is lower or higher than the target.

The previous patch was about picking not the middle but closer
to 'hi', when we know the target is a lot closer to 'hi' than it
is to 'lo'. However, if it turns out that the entry at 'mi' is
higher than the target, we would end up reducing the search
space only by the difference between 'mi' and 'hi' (which by
definition is less than 50% --- that was the whole point of not
using the simple binary search), which made the search less
efficient. And the risk of overshooting becomes very high, if

This tweaks the selection of 'mi' to be a bit closer to the
middle than we would otherwise pick to avoid the problem.

sha1-lookup: more memory efficient search in sorted... Junio C Hamano Sat, 29 Dec 2007 10:05:47 +0000 (02:05 -0800)

sha1-lookup: more memory efficient search in sorted list of SHA-1

Currently, when looking for a packed object from the pack idx, a
simple binary search is used.

A conventional binary search loop looks like this:

unsigned lo, hi;
do {
unsigned mi = (lo + hi) / 2;
int cmp = "entry pointed at by mi" minus "target";
if (!cmp)
return mi; "mi is the wanted one"
if (cmp > 0)
hi = mi; "mi is larger than target"
else
lo = mi+1; "mi is smaller than target"
} while (lo < hi);
"did not find what we wanted"

The invariants are:

- When entering the loop, 'lo' points at a slot that is never
above the target (it could be at the target), 'hi' points at
a slot that is guaranteed to be above the target (it can
never be at the target).

- We find a point 'mi' between 'lo' and 'hi' ('mi' could be
the same as 'lo', but never can be as high as 'hi'), and
check if 'mi' hits the target. There are three cases:

- if it is a hit, we have found what we are looking for;

- if it is strictly higher than the target, we set it to
'hi', and repeat the search.

- if it is strictly lower than the target, we update 'lo'
to one slot after it, because we allow 'lo' to be at the
target and 'mi' is known to be below the target.

If the loop exits, there is no matching entry.

When choosing 'mi', we do not have to take the "middle" but
anywhere in between 'lo' and 'hi', as long as lo <= mi < hi is
satisfied. When we somehow know that the distance between the
target and 'lo' is much shorter than the target and 'hi', we
could pick 'mi' that is much closer to 'lo' than (hi+lo)/2,
which a conventional binary search would pick.

This patch takes advantage of the fact that the SHA-1 is a good
hash function, and as long as there are enough entries in the
table, we can expect uniform distribution. An entry that begins
with for example "deadbeef..." is much likely to appear much
later than in the midway of a reasonably populated table. In
fact, it can be expected to be near 87% (222/256) from the top
of the table.

This is a work-in-progress and has switches to allow easier
experiments and debugging. Exporting GIT_USE_LOOKUP environment
variable enables this code.

On my admittedly memory starved machine, with a partial KDE
repository (3.0G pack with 95M idx):

$ GIT_USE_LOOKUP=t git log -800 --stat HEAD >/dev/null
3.93user 0.16system 0:04.09elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+55588minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Without the patch, the numbers are:

$ git log -800 --stat HEAD >/dev/null
4.00user 0.15system 0:04.17elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+60258minor)pagefaults 0swaps

In the same repository:

$ GIT_USE_LOOKUP=t git log -2000 HEAD >/dev/null
0.12user 0.00system 0:00.12elapsed 97%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+4241minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Without the patch, the numbers are:

$ git log -2000 HEAD >/dev/null
0.05user 0.01system 0:00.07elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+8506minor)pagefaults 0swaps

There isn't much time difference, but the number of minor faults
seems to show that we are touching much smaller number of pages,
which is expected.

git-svn: fix following renamed paths when tracking a single path

When using git-svn to follow only a single (empty) path per
svn-remote (i.e. not using --stdlayout), following the history
of a renamed path was broken in
c586879cdfa4f8181a14e953a9152a4639eef333.

This reverts the regression for the single (emtpy) path per
svn-remote case.

To avoid breaking the tests in a committed revision, this is an
addendum to a patch originally submitted by

test suite: remove useless TERM cruft in "t7005-editor.sh"

In commit 15387e3 (Test suite: reset TERM to its previous value after
testing., 2007-10-26), I added a workaround to reset TERM to its previous
value before the "test_done" at the end of "t7005-editor.sh" because
otherwise "test_done" would have printed the test result with a bad TERM
env variable (this resulted in output with no color on konsole).

But since commit c2116a1 (test-lib: fix TERM to dumb for test
repeatability, 2008-03-06), colored output is printed in a subshell with
TERM reset to its original value so the earlier workaround is not needed
anymore.

Fix "git apply" to correctly enforce "match at the beginning"

An earlier commit 4be6096 (apply --unidiff-zero: loosen sanity checks for
--unidiff=0 patches, 2006-09-17) made match_beginning and match_end
computed incorrectly. If a hunk inserts at the beginning, old position
recorded at the hunk is line 0, and if a hunk changes at the beginning, it
is line 1. The new test added to t4104 exposes that the old code did not
insist on matching at the beginning for a patch to add a line to an empty
file.

An even older 65aadb9 (apply: force matching at the beginning.,
2006-05-24) was equally wrong in that it tried to take hints from the
number of leading context lines, to decide if the hunk must match at the
beginning, but we can just look at the line number in the hunk to decide.

gitk: Fix changing colors through Edit->Preferences

With tcl/tk8.5 the lset command seems to behave differently. When
changing the background color through Edit->Preferences, the changes
are applied, but new dialogs, such as View->New view... barf with

Error: unknown color name "{#ffffff}"

Additionally when closing gitk, and starting it up again, a bad value
has been saved to ~/.gitk, preventing gitk from running properly; it
fails with

Error in startup script: unknown color name "{#ffffff}"
...

This commit fixes the problem by changing the color dialogs to pass
the empty string {} as the list index to choosecolor. This causes
the lset and lindex commands used by choosecolor to use and set the
whole variable (bgcolor, fgcolor or selectbgcolor) rather than
treating them as a 1-element list. Tested with tcl/tk8.4 and 8.5.

filter-branch: Fix renaming a directory in the tree-filter

Commit d89c1df (filter-branch: don't use xargs -0, 2008-03-12) replaced a
'ls-files | xargs rm' pipeline by 'git clean'. 'git clean' however does
not recurse and remove directories by default.

Now, consider a tree-filter that renames a directory.

1. For the first commit everything works as expected

2. Then filter-branch checks out the files for the next commit. This
leaves the new directory behind because there is no real "branch
switching" involved that would notice that the directory can be
removed.

3. Then filter-branch invokes 'git clean' to remove exactly those
left-overs. But here it does not remove the directory.

4. The next tree-filter does not work as expected because there already
exists a directory with the new name.

Just add -d to 'git clean', so that empty directories are removed.

This test currently fails.

If b is a directory then 'mv a b' is not a plain "rename", but really a
"move", so we must also test that the directory does not exist with the
old name in the directory with the new name.

There's also some cleanup in the corresponding "rename file" test to avoid
spurious shell syntax errors and "ambigous ref" error from 'git show' (but
these should show up only if the test would fail anyway). Plus we also
test for the non-existence of the old file.

diff-index: careful when inspecting work tree items

Earlier, if you changed a staged path into a directory in the work tree,
we happily ran lstat(2) on it and found that it exists, and declared that
the user changed it to a gitlink.

This is wrong for two reasons:

(1) It may be a directory, but it may not be a submodule, and in the
latter case, the change we need to report is "the blob at the path
has disappeared". We need to check with resolve_gitlink_ref() to be
consistent with what "git add" and "git update-index --add" does.

(2) lstat(2) may have succeeded only because a leading component of the
path was turned into a symbolic link that points at something that
exists in the work tree. In such a case, the path itself does not
exist anymore, as far as the index is concerned.

This fixes these breakages in diff-index that the previous patch has
exposed.

Add corner case tests for diff-index and diff-filesJunio C Hamano Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:28:05 +0000 (17:28 -0700)

Add corner case tests for diff-index and diff-files

diff-index and diff-files can get confused in corner cases when an indexed
blob turns into something else in the work tree. This patch adds tests to
expose such breakages.

The test is classified under t2XXX series instead of t4XXX series, because
the ultimate objective is to fix "add -u" (and "commit -a" that shares the
same issue).

Allow git-cvsserver database table name prefix to be... Josh Elsasser Thu, 27 Mar 2008 21:02:14 +0000 (14:02 -0700)

Allow git-cvsserver database table name prefix to be specified.

Adds a gitcvs.dbtablenameprefix config variable, the contents of which
are prepended to any database tables names used by git-cvsserver. The
same substutions as gitcvs.dbname and gitcvs.dbuser are supported, and
any non-alphabetic characters are replaced with underscores.

A typo found in contrib/completion/git-completion.bash is also fixed.

Silence cpio's "N blocks" output when cloning locallyBryan Donlan Fri, 28 Mar 2008 06:19:46 +0000 (02:19 -0400)

Silence cpio's "N blocks" output when cloning locally

Pass --quiet to cpio in git-clone to hide the (confusing) "0 blocks" message.
For compatibility with operating systems which might not support GNUisms,
the presence of --quiet is probed for by grepping cpio's --help output.

git-p4: Handle Windows EOLs properly after removal of p4 submit template handling.

git-p4s handling of Windows style EOL was broken after the removal
of the p4 submit template handling in commit f2a6059. Fix that, and
make getP4OpenedType() more robust.

git-cvsserver does not support changes of type T (file type change,
e.g. symlink->real file). This patch treats them the same as changes
of type M.
