* parse-opts: prepare for OPT_FILENAMEStephen Boyd2009-05-251-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | To give OPT_FILENAME the prefix, we pass the prefix to parse_options() which passes the prefix to parse_options_start() which sets the prefix member of parse_opts_ctx accordingly. If there isn't a prefix in the calling context, passing NULL will suffice. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <bebarino@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* symbolic-ref: allow refs/<whatever> in HEADJeff King2009-02-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit afe5d3d5 introduced a safety valve to symbolic-ref to disallow installing an invalid HEAD. It was accompanied by b229d18a, which changed validate_headref to require that HEAD contain a pointer to refs/heads/ instead of just refs/. Therefore, the safety valve also checked for refs/heads/. As it turns out, topgit is using refs/top-bases/ in HEAD, leading us to re-loosen (at least temporarily) the validate_headref check made in b229d18a. This patch does the corresponding loosening for the symbolic-ref safety valve, so that the two are in agreement once more.

* symbolic ref: refuse non-ref targets in HEADJeff King2009-01-291-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calling "git symbolic-ref" it is easy to forget that the target must be a fully qualified ref. E.g., you might accidentally do: $ git symbolic-ref HEAD master Unfortunately, this is very difficult to recover from, because the bogus contents of HEAD make git believe we are no longer in a git repository (as is_git_dir explicitly checks for "^refs/heads/" in the HEAD target). So immediately trying to fix the situation doesn't work: $ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/master fatal: Not a git repository and one is left editing the .git/HEAD file manually. Furthermore, one might be tempted to use symbolic-ref to set up a detached HEAD: $ git symbolic-ref HEAD `git rev-parse HEAD` which sets up an even more bogus HEAD: $ cat .git/HEAD ref: 1a9ace4f2ad4176148e61b5a85cd63d5604aac6d This patch introduces a small safety valve to prevent the specific case of anything not starting with refs/heads/ to go into HEAD. The scope of the safety valve is intentionally very limited, to make sure that we are not preventing any behavior that would otherwise be valid (like pointing a different symref than HEAD outside of refs/heads/).

* Make usage strings dash-lessStephan Beyer2008-07-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When you misuse a git command, you are shown the usage string. But this is currently shown in the dashed form. So if you just copy what you see, it will not work, when the dashed form is no longer supported. This patch makes git commands show the dash-less version. For shell scripts that do not specify OPTIONS_SPEC, git-sh-setup.sh generates a dash-less usage string now.

* Provide git_config with a callback-data parameterJohannes Schindelin2008-05-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | git_config() only had a function parameter, but no callback data parameter. This assumes that all callback functions only modify global variables. With this patch, every callback gets a void * parameter, and it is hoped that this will help the libification effort.

* symbolic-ref, update-ref: do not refuse reflog message with LFJunio C Hamano2007-07-291-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier these tools refused to create a reflog entry when the message given by the calling Porcelain had a LF in it, partially to keep the file format integrity of reflog file, which is one-entry-per-line. These tools should not be dictating such a policy. Instead, let the codepath to write out the reflog entry worry about the format integrity and allow messages with LF in them.

* Fix git-fetch while on detached HEAD not to give needlessly alarming errorsJunio C Hamano2007-01-151-5/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are on a detached HEAD, there is no current branch. There is no reason to leak the error messages to the end user since this is a situation we expect to see. This adds -q option to git-symbolic-ref to exit without issuing an error message if the given name is not a symbolic ref. By the way, with or without this patch, there currently is no good way to tell failure modes between "git symbolic-ref HAED" and "git symbolic-ref HEAD". Both says "is not a symbolic ref". We may want to do something about it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Tell between packed, unpacked and symbolic refs.Junio C Hamano2006-09-201-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | This adds a "int *flag" parameter to resolve_ref() and makes for_each_ref() family to call callback function with an extra "int flag" parameter. They are used to give two bits of information (REF_ISSYMREF and REF_ISPACKED) about the ref. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* symbolit-ref: fix resolve_ref conversion.Junio C Hamano2006-09-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | An earlier conversion accidentally hardcoded "HEAD" to be passed to resolve_ref(), thereby causing git-symbolic-ref command to always report where the HEAD points at, ignoring the command line parameter. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Make ref resolution sanerLinus Torvalds2006-09-171-9/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old code used to totally mix up the notion of a ref-name and the path that that ref was associated with. That was not only horribly ugly (a number of users got the path, and then wanted to try to turn it back into a ref-name again), but it fundamnetally doesn't work at all once we do any setup where a ref doesn't have a 1:1 relationship with a particular pathname. This fixes things up so that we use the ref-name throughout, and only turn it into a pathname once we actually look it up in the filesystem. That makes a lot of things much clearer and more straightforward. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Replace uses of strdup with xstrdup.Shawn Pearce2006-09-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Like xmalloc and xrealloc xstrdup dies with a useful message if the native strdup() implementation returns NULL rather than a valid pointer. I just tried to use xstrdup in new code and found it to be missing. However I expected it to be present as xmalloc and xrealloc are already commonly used throughout the code. [jc: removed the part that deals with last_XXX, which I am finding more and more dubious these days.] Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
