* git-p4: add initial support for RCS keywordsld/git-p4-expanded-keywordsLuke Diamand2012-02-231-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RCS keywords cause problems for git-p4 as perforce always expands them (if +k is set) and so when applying the patch, git reports that the files have been modified by both sides, when in fact they haven't. This change means that when git-p4 detects a problem applying a patch, it will check to see if keyword expansion could be the culprit. If it is, it strips the keywords in the p4 repository so that they match what git is expecting. It then has another go at applying the patch. This behaviour is enabled with a new git-p4 configuration option and is off by default.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When asking for a tag to be pulled, disambiguate by leaving tags/ prefix in front of the name of the tag. E.g. ... in the git repository at: git://example.com/git/git.git/ tags/v1.2.3 for you to fetch changes up to 123456... This way, older versions of "git pull" can be used to respond to such a request more easily, as "git pull $URL v1.2.3" did not DWIM to fetch v1.2.3 tag in older versions. Also this makes it clearer for humans that the pull request is made for a tag and he should anticipate a signed one. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

After 5 years of use in the field, it turns out that people perform too many unjustified merges of the upstream history into their topic branches. These merges are not just useless, but they are often not explained well, and making the end result unreadable when it gets time for merging their history back to their upstream. Earlier we added the "--edit" option to the command, so that people can edit the log message to explain and justify their merge commits. Let's take it one step further and spawn the editor by default when we are in an interactive session (i.e. the standard input and the standard output are pointing at the same tty device). There may be existing scripts that leave the standard input and the standard output of the "git merge" connected to whatever environment the scripts were started, and such invocation might trigger the above "interactive session" heuristics. GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable can be set to "no" at the beginning of such scripts to use the historical behaviour while the script runs. Note that this backward compatibility is meant only for scripts, and we deliberately do *not* support "merge.edit = yes/no/auto" configuration option to allow people to keep the historical behaviour.

Five of these are broken. Document the brokenness. This is a fundamental problem with how git-p4 only "borrows" a client spec. At some sync operation, a new change can contain a file which is already in the repo or explicitly deleted through another mapping. To sort this out would involve listing all the files in the client spec to find one with a higher priority. While this is not too hard for the initial import, subsequent sync operations would be very costly. Signed-off-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Fix them by writing them as attribute references "{caret}". Although a single "^" character in a paragraph cannot be misinterpreted in this way, also write other "^" characters as "{caret}" in the interest of good hygiene (unless they are in literal paragraphs, of course, in which context attribute references are not recognized). Spell "{}" consistently, namely *not* quoted as "\{\}". Since the braces are empty, they cannot be interpreted as an attribute reference, and either spelling is OK. So arbitrarily choose one variation and use it consistently. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
