Make just opening the generated MSVC solution file... Sebastian Schuberth Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:34:21 +0000 (13:34 +0200)

Make just opening the generated MSVC solution file not modify it

The format of the generated MSVC solution file is fixed in a way that
just opening it in Visual Studio and immediately closing it again
without performing any modifications does not trigger a prompt to save
the solution file. This behavior was caused by several minor
incompatibilities between the generated file and what Visual Studio
2008 expected, so Visual Studio transparently fixed the file format,
marking it internally as modified.

Make generated MSVC solution file open from Windows... Sebastian Schuberth Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:34:20 +0000 (13:34 +0200)

Make generated MSVC solution file open from Windows Explorer

In order to be able to open the generated solution file by double-
clicking it in Windows Explorer, all project files need to use DOS
line-endings and a comment about the Visual Studio version needs to
be added to the header of the solution file. This also fixes the icon
that is displayed for the solution file in Windows Explorer.
Note that opening the solution file from a running instance of Visual
Studio already worked before.

generators/vcproj.pm: remove UNICODE from build

Defining UNICODE for MSVC IDE builds results in certain Win32 WIDE
API's receiving ANSI strings. The result of which is an invalid use
of the API and will end in either data corruption or an application
crash.

Prevent the use of WIDE API's when building with the MSVC IDE for
compatibility with msysGit.

parse_long_opt always matches both --opt and --no-opt for any option
"opt", and only get_value checks whether --no-opt is actually valid.
Since the options for git branch contains both "no-merged" and "merged"
there are two matches for --no-merge, but no exact match. With this

make 'git clone' ask the remote only for objects it... Nicolas Pitre Sat, 26 Sep 2009 03:54:42 +0000 (23:54 -0400)

make 'git clone' ask the remote only for objects it cares about

Current behavior of 'git clone' when not using --mirror is to fetch
everything from the peer, and then filter out unwanted refs just before
writing them out to the cloned repository. This may become highly
inefficient if the peer has an unusual ref namespace, or if it simply
has "remotes" refs of its own, and those locally unwanted refs are
connecting to a large set of objects which becomes unreferenced as soon
as they are fetched.

Let's filter out those unwanted refs from the peer _before_ asking it
what refs we want to fetch instead, which is the most logical thing to
do anyway.

When encryption=tls and we cannot connect to the SMTP server,
git-send-email was printing an obtuse perl error:

Can't call method "command" on an undefined value

This can occur when smtp host or port is misspelled, or the network

test-genrandom: ensure stdout is set to _O_BINARY on Windows

Commit a6ca8c62 (Set _O_BINARY as default fmode for both MinGW and MSVC)
removed the definition of _CRT_fmode from mingw.c. Before this commit,
since test-genrandom is linked against libgit.a, the MinGW process
initialization code would pick up that definition of _CRT_fmode, which was
initialized to _O_BINARY. After this commit, however, text mode is used
for std(in|out|err) because it is the default in absence of _CRT_fmode.
In order to fix that, we must use git-compat-util.h, which overrides
main() to set the mode to binary.

This enables us to simply do the necesarry changes in the Makefile, and you
can update the other buildsystems by regenerating the files. Keeping the
other buildsystems up-to-date with main development.

The generator system is designed to easily drop in pm's for other
buildsystems as well, if someone has an itch. However, the focus has been

Make usage of windows.h lean and mean

Centralize the include of windows.h in git-compat-util.h, turn on
WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN to avoid including plenty of other header files
which is not needed in Git. Also ensure we load winsock2.h first,
so we don't load the older winsock definitions at a later stage,
since they contain duplicate definitions.

When moving windows.h into git-compat-util.h, we need to protect
the definition of struct pollfd in mingw.h, since this file is used
by both MinGW and MSVC, and the latter defines this struct in
winsock2.h.

We need to keep the windows.h include in compat/win32.h, since its
shared by both MinGW and Cygwin, and we're not touching Cygwin in
this commit. The include in git-compat-util.h is protected with an
ifdef WIN32, which is not the case when compiling for Cygwin.

git-archive: infer output format from filename when unspecified

A command line

$ git archive -o my-v2.0.zip v2.0

almost certainly wants the output in zip format, even though it does not
specify any --format option.

When --format is not given, but output filename is, try to infer what
format is requested from the filename extension. Currently this code only
knows about '.zip'. When the format is unspecified and the filename does
not tell us, the output will be in 'tar' format as before.

Of course, an explicit --format will not trigger this guesswork.

preserve mtime of local clone

A local clone without hardlinks copies all objects, including dangling
ones, to the new repository. Since the mtimes are renewed, those
dangling objects cannot be pruned by "git gc --prune", even if they
would have been old enough for pruning in the original repository.

Instead, preserve mtime during copy. "git gc --prune" will then work
in the clone just like it did in the original.

use write_str_in_full helper to avoid literal string lengths

In 2d14d65 (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers,
2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this:

- write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5);
+
+ strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
+ write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
+ strbuf_reset(&buf);

IMHO, it would be better to define a new function,

static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str)
{
return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str));
}

and then use it like this:

- strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
- write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
- strbuf_reset(&buf);
+ write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n");

Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding
the maintenance risk of literal string lengths.
These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal")
imposes no run-time cost.

Transformed via this:

perl -pi -e \
's/write_in_full\((.*?), (".*?"), \d+\)/write_str_in_full($1, $2)/'\
$(git grep -l 'write_in_full.*"')

gitk: Show diff of commits at end of compare-commits output

When comparing a string of commits, when we find two non-merge commits
that differ, we now write the two commits to files and diff the files.
This pulls out the logic for creating a temporary directory from
external_diff into a separate procedure so that the new diffcommits
procedure can use it.

Because the diff command returns an exit status of 1 when the files
differ, and Tcl treats that as an error, this adds catch {} around the
close statements in getblobdiffline.

At present this only removes the temporary files when gitk exits. It
should remove them when the diff is done.

merge-recursive: give less scary messages when merge... Junio C Hamano Tue, 8 Sep 2009 05:43:11 +0000 (22:43 -0700)

merge-recursive: give less scary messages when merge did not start

When unpack_trees() three-way merge logic is called from merge-recursive
and finds that local changes are going to be clobbered, its plumbing level
messages were given as errors first, and then the merge driver added even
more scary message "fatal: merging of trees <a long object name> and
<another long object name> failed".

This is most often encountered by new CVS/SVN migrants who are used to
start a merge from a dirty work tree. The saddest part is that the merge
refused to run to prevent _any_ damage from being done to your work tree
when these messages are given, but the messages look a lot more scarier
than the conflicted case where the user needs to resolve them.

Replace the plumbing level messages so that they talk about what it is
protecting the user from, and end the messages with "Aborting." so that it
becomes clear that the command did not do any harm.

The final "merging of trees failed" message is superfluous, unless you are
interested in debugging the merge-recursive itself. Squelch the current
die() message by default, but allow it to help people who debug git with
verbosity level 4 or greater.

Unless there is some bug, an inner merge that does not touch working tree
should not trigger any such error, so emit the current die() message when
we see an error return from it while running the inner merge, too. It
would also help people who debug git.

We could later add instructions on how to recover (i.e. "stash changes
away or commit on a side branch and retry") instead of the silent
exit(128) I have in this patch, and then use Peff's advice.* mechanism to
squelch it (e.g. "advice.mergeindirtytree"), but they are separate topics.

Add url.<base>.pushInsteadOf: URL rewriting for push... Josh Triplett Mon, 7 Sep 2009 08:56:33 +0000 (01:56 -0700)

Add url.<base>.pushInsteadOf: URL rewriting for push only

This configuration option allows systematically rewriting fetch-only URLs
to push-capable URLs when used with push. For instance:

[url "ssh://example.org/"]
pushInsteadOf = "git://example.org/"

This will allow clones of "git://example.org/path/to/repo" to subsequently
push to "ssh://example.org/path/to/repo", without manually configuring
pushurl for that remote.

Includes documentation for the new option, bash completion updates, and
test cases (both that pushInsteadOf applies to push, that it does not
apply to fetch, and that it is ignored when pushURL is already defined).
