* commit: teach --amend to carry forward extra headersJunio C Hamano2011-11-091-1/+66
| | | | | | | | | After running "git pull $there for-linus" to merge a signed tag, the integrator may need to amend the resulting merge commit to fix typoes in it. Teach --amend option to read the existing extra headers, and carry them forward. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* commit: copy merged signed tags to headers of merge commitJunio C Hamano2011-11-091-4/+92
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now MERGE_HEAD records the tag objects without peeling, we could record the result of manual conflict resolution via "git commit" without losing the tag information. Introduce a new "mergetag" multi-line header field to the commit object, and use it to store the entire contents of each signed tag merged. A commit header that has a multi-line payload begins with the header tag (e.g. "mergetag" in this case), SP, the first line of payload, LF, and all the remaining lines have a SP inserted at the beginning. In hindsight, it would have been better to make "merge --continue" as the way to continue from such an interrupted merge, not "commit", but this is a backward compatibility baggage we would need to carry around for now.

* merge: make usage of commit->util more extensibleJunio C Hamano2011-11-081-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The merge-recursive code uses the commit->util field directly to annotate the commit objects given from the command line, i.e. the remote heads to be merged, with a single string to be used to describe it in its trace messages and conflict markers. Correct this short-signtedness by redefining the field to be a pointer to a structure "struct merge_remote_desc" that later enhancements can add more information. Store the original objects we were told to merge in a field "obj" in this struct, so that we can recover the tag we were told to merge. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HEAD and MERGE_HEAD (among other branch tips) should never hold a tag. That can only be caused by broken tools and is cumbersome to fix by an end user with: $ git update-ref HEAD $(git rev-parse HEAD^{commit}) which may look like a magic to a new person. Be easy, warn users (so broken tools can be fixed if they bother to report) and move on.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Introduce get_merge_bases_many()Junio C Hamano2008-06-301-18/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a new function get_merge_bases_many() which is a natural extension of two commit merge base computation. It is given one commit (one) and a set of other commits (twos), and computes the merge base of one and a merge across other commits. This is mostly useful to figure out the common ancestor when iterating over heads during an octopus merge. When making an octopus between commits A, B, C and D, we first merge tree of A and B, and then try to merge C with it. If we were making pairwise merge, we would be recording the tree resulting from the merge between A and B as a commit, say M, and then the next round we will be computing the merge base between M and C. o---C...* / . o---B...M / . o---o---A But during an octopus merge, we actually do not create a commit M. In order to figure out that the common ancestor to use for this merge, instead of computing the merge base between C and M, we can call merge_bases_many() with one set to C and twos containing A and B.

* Introduce get_octopus_merge_bases() in commit.cMiklos Vajna2008-06-301-0/+27
| | | | | | | | This is like get_merge_bases() but it works for multiple heads, like show-branch --merge-base. Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Move commit_list_count() to commit.cMiklos Vajna2008-06-301-0/+8
| | | | | | | | This function is useful outside builtin-merge-recursive, for example in builtin-merge. Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Remove unused code in parse_commit_buffer()Miklos Vajna2008-06-081-7/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | The n_refs variable is no longer really used in this function, so there is no reason to keep it. It was introduced in 27dedf0c and the code that really used it was removed in 7914053. Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* builtin-fsck: reports missing parent commitsMartin Koegler2008-02-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | parse_commit ignores parent commits with certain errors (eg. a non commit object is already loaded under the sha1 of the parent). To make fsck reports such errors, it has to compare the nummer of parent commits returned by parse commit with the number of parent commits in the object or in the graft/shallow file.
