| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This new "read_replace_refs" global variable is set to 1 by default, so that replace refs are used by default. But reachability traversal and packing commands ("cmd_fsck", "cmd_prune", "cmd_pack_objects", "upload_pack", "cmd_unpack_objects") set it to 0, as they must work with the original DAG.

| * | git repack: keep commits hidden by a graftJohannes Schindelin2009-07-241-0/+1
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily remove the graft and end up with a broken repository. So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents. As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted parents.

* Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliableJohannes Schindelin2009-04-251-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC) has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away, the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs. It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly. As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work around it in Git. At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

* New config push.default to decide default behavior for pushFinn Arne Gangstad2009-03-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When "git push" is not told what refspecs to push, it pushes all matching branches to the current remote. For some workflows this default is not useful, and surprises new users. Some have even found that this default behaviour is too easy to trigger by accident with unwanted consequences. Introduce a new configuration variable "push.default" that decides what action git push should take if no refspecs are given or implied by the command line arguments or the current remote configuration. Possible values are: 'nothing' : Push nothing; 'matching' : Current default behaviour, push all branches that already exist in the current remote; 'tracking' : Push the current branch to whatever it is tracking; 'current' : Push the current branch to a branch of the same name, i.e. HEAD.

* Introduce commit notesJohannes Schindelin2008-12-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF. The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1). The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes, maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This can do the lstat() storm in parallel, giving potentially much improved performance for cold-cache cases or things like NFS that have weak metadata caching. Just use "read_cache_preload()" instead of "read_cache()" to force an optimistic preload of the index stat data.

A file that contains a mixture of LF and CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings such that we have only LF line endings in the repository. But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the conversion can corrupt data. If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right after committing you still have the original file in your work tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell git that this file is binary and git will handle the file appropriately. Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files converting CRLFs corrupts data. This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the following values: - false: disable safecrlf mechanism - warn: warn about irreversible conversions - true: refuse irreversible conversions The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism. The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are: - we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the original file. - for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree we do not not print annoying warnings. There are exceptions. Even though... - "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the next checkout would, so the safety triggers; - "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the safety does not trigger; - "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To catch potential problems early, safety triggers. The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar way by Linus Torvalds.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When deciding whether or not to turn on automatic color support, git_config_colorbool checks whether stdout is a tty. However, because we run a pager, if stdout is not a tty, we must check whether it is because we started the pager. This used to be done by checking the pager_in_use variable. This variable was set only when the git program being run started the pager; there was no way for an external program running git indicate that it had already started a pager. This patch allows a program to set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE to a true value to indicate that even though stdout is not a tty, it is because a pager is being used.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces core.whitespace configuration variable that lets you specify the definition of "whitespace error". Currently there are two kinds of whitespace errors defined: * trailing-space: trailing whitespaces at the end of the line. * space-before-tab: a SP appears immediately before HT in the indent part of the line. You can specify the desired types of errors to be detected by listing their names (unique abbreviations are accepted) separated by comma. By default, these two errors are always detected, as that is the traditional behaviour. You can disable detection of a particular type of error by prefixing a '-' in front of the name of the error, like this: [core] whitespace = -trailing-space This patch teaches the code to output colored diff with DIFF_WHITESPACE color to highlight the detected whitespace errors to honor the new configuration.

The problem is the variable is too new to be noticed by anything other than git-add and git-status. * git-ls-files does not notice any of the "ignore" files by default, as it predates the standardized set of ignore files. The calling scripts established the convention to use .git/info/exclude, .gitignore, and later core.excludesfile. * git-add and git-status know about it because they call add_excludes_from_file() directly with their own notion of which standard set of ignore files to use. This is just a stupid duplication of code that need to be updated every time the definition of the standard set of ignore files is changed. * git-read-tree takes --exclude-per-directory=<gitignore>, not because the flexibility was needed. Again, this was because the option predates the standardization of the ignore files. * git-merge-recursive uses hardcoded per-directory .gitignore and nothing else. git-clean (scripted version) does not honor core.* because its call to underlying ls-files does not know about it. git-clean in C (parked in 'pu') doesn't either. We probably could change git-ls-files to use the standard set when no excludes are specified on the command line and ignore processing was asked, or something like that, but that will be a change in semantics and might break people's scripts in a subtle way. I am somewhat reluctant to make such a change. On the other hand, I think it makes perfect sense to fix git-read-tree, git-merge-recursive and git-clean to follow the same rule as other commands. I do not think of a valid use case to give an exclude-per-directory that is nonstandard to read-tree command, outside a "negative" test in the t1004 test script. This patch is the first step to untangle this mess. The next step would be to teach read-tree, merge-recursive and clean (in C) to use setup_standard_excludes().

* | Clean up work-tree handlingJohannes Schindelin2007-08-011-9/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable, and not to the point. For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used? As in "git status". Now it works. Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why are some programs complaining that they need a work tree? IOW it is allowed to call $ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla when you really want to. In this case, you are both in the git directory and in the working tree. So, programs have to actually test for the right thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are inside a git directory. Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory. It does now. The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree (tertium non datur), is this: --work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true, which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found. In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/, which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the appropriate git dir. This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.

* Add core.quotepath configuration variable.Junio C Hamano2007-06-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We always quote "unusual" byte values in a pathname using C-string style, to make it safer for parsing scripts that do not handle NUL separated records well (or just too lazy to bother). The absolute minimum bytes that need to be quoted for this purpose are TAB, LF (and other control characters), double quote and backslash. However, we have also always quoted the bytes in high 8-bit range; this was partly because we were lazy and partly because we were being cautious. This introduces an internal "quote_path_fully" variable, and core.quotepath configuration variable to control it. When set to false, it does not quote bytes in high 8-bit range anymore but passes them intact. The variable defaults to "true" to retain the traditional behaviour for now.

| | | | | | | | | This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time.
