| * Log ref changes made by git-merge and git-pull.Shawn Pearce2006-07-111-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When git-merge updates HEAD as a result of a merge record what happened during the merge into the reflog associated with HEAD (if any). The log reports who caused the update (git-merge or git-pull, by invoking git-merge), what the remote ref names were and the type of merge process used. The merge information can be useful when reviewing a reflog for a branch such as `master` where fast forward and trivial in index merges might be common as the user tracks an upstream.

* | recur vs recursive: help testing without touching too many stuff.Junio C Hamano2006-07-131-2/+11

* | Status update on merge-recursive in CJohannes Schindelin2006-07-131-3/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is just an update for people being interested. Alex and me were busy with that project for a few days now. While it has progressed nicely, there are quite a couple TODOs in merge-recursive.c, just search for "TODO". For impatient people: yes, it passes all the tests, and yes, according to the evil test Alex did, it is faster than the Python script. But no, it is not yet finished. Biggest points are: - there are still three external calls - in the end, it should not be necessary to write the index more than once (just before exiting) - a lot of things can be refactored to make the code easier and shorter BTW we cannot just plug in git-merge-tree yet, because git-merge-tree does not handle renames at all. This patch is meant for testing, and as such, - it compile the program to git-merge-recur - it adjusts the scripts and tests to use git-merge-recur instead of git-merge-recursive - it provides "TEST", a script to execute the tests regarding -recursive - it inlines the changes to read-cache.c (read_cache_from(), discard_cache() and refresh_cache_entry()) Brought to you by Alex Riesen and Dscho Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* git-merge --squashJunio C Hamano2006-06-241-19/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some people tend to do many little commits on a topic branch, recording all the trials and errors, and when the topic is reasonably cooked well, would want to record the net effect of the series as one commit on top of the mainline, removing the cruft from the history. The topic is then abandoned or forked off again from that point at the mainline. The barebone porcelainish that comes with core git tools does not officially support such operation, but you can fake it by using "git pull --no-merge" when such a topic branch is not a strict superset of the mainline, like this: git checkout mainline git pull --no-commit . that-topic-branch : fix conflicts if any rm -f .git/MERGE_HEAD git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message' git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged This however does not work when the topic branch is a fast forward of the mainline, because normal "git pull" will never create a merge commit in such a case, and there is nothing special --no-commit could do to begin with. This patch introduces a new option, --squash, to support such a workflow officially in both fast-forward case and true merge case. The user-level operation would be the same in both cases: git checkout mainline git pull --squash . that-topic-branch : fix conflicts if any -- naturally, there would be : no conflict if fast forward. git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message' git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged When the current branch is already up-to-date with respect to the other branch, there truly is nothing to do, so the new option does not have any effect. This was brought up in #git IRC channel recently. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* git-rerere: reuse recorded resolve.Junio C Hamano2006-02-061-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a workflow that employs relatively long lived topic branches, the developer sometimes needs to resolve the same conflict over and over again until the topic branches are done (either merged to the "release" branch, or sent out and accepted upstream). This commit introduces a new command, "git rerere", to help this process by recording the conflicted automerge results and corresponding hand-resolve results on the initial manual merge, and later by noticing the same conflicted automerge and applying the previously recorded hand resolution using three-way merge.

| | | | | | | | | | | git-pull invoked merge with recursive as the default strategy for some time now; match it in the git-merge itself. Also avoid listing more than one strategy on default because we have only one strategy that can resolve an octopus and we are already counting heads here.

* Allow git-merge not to commit.Junio C Hamano2005-10-221-11/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Martin Langhoff wants to use git-merge from outside git-pull and wants to do further processing; for this, he wants git-merge no to commit even when it cleanly merges. I think other script writers would want something like that as well, so here it is. Instead of the "merge commit message" parameter (which usually is made for you by "git-pull" which calls this command), you pass an empty string to it. Then it will not update your HEAD -- you can do whatever you want with the resulting index file, which contains the merge results. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Enable and fix support for base less merges.Fredrik Kuivinen2005-10-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let the merge strategies handle the base less case if they are able to do it. It also fixes git-resolve.sh to die if no common ancestors exists, instead of doing the wrong thing. Furthermore, it contains a small independent fix for git-merge.sh and a fix for a base less code path in gitMergeCommon.py. With this it's possible to use git merge -s recursive 'merge message' A B to do a base less merge of A and B. [jc: Thanks Fredrik for fixing the brown-paper-bag in git-merge. I fixed a small typo in git-merge-resolve fix; 'test' equality check is spelled with single equal sign -- C-style double equal sign is bashism.] Signed-off-by: Fredrik Kuivinen <freku045@student.liu.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Handle really trivial case inside git-merge.Junio C Hamano2005-10-021-1/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Using Linus' --trivial option, this handles really trivial case inside git-merge itself, without using any strategy modules. A 'really trivial case' is: - we are merging one branch into the current branch; - there is only one merge base between the branches; - there is no file-level merge required.

* Fastpath the normal case by not checking that index matches HEAD.Junio C Hamano2005-09-281-7/+4

* Fix overzealous cleanliness check in git-mergeJunio C Hamano2005-09-261-18/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Being able to try multiple strategies and automatically picking one that seems to give less conflicting result may or may not much sense in practice. At least that should not force normal use case to additionally require the working tree to be fully clean. As Linus shouted, local changes do not matter unless they interfere with the merge. This commit changes git-merge not to require a clean working tree. Only when we will iterate through more than one merge strategies, local changes are stashed away before trying the first merge, and restored before second and later merges are attempted. The index file must be in sync with HEAD in any case -- otherwise the merge result would contain changes since HEAD that was done locally and registered in the index. This check is already enforced by three-way read-tree existing merge strategies use, but is done here as a safeguard as well. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Multi-backend merge driver.Junio C Hamano2005-09-101-0/+212
The new command 'git merge' takes the current head and one or more remote heads, with the commit log message for the automated case. If the heads being merged are simple fast-forwards, it acts the same way as the current 'git resolve'. Otherwise, it tries different merge strategies and takes the result from the one that succeeded auto-merging, if there is any. If no merge strategy succeeds auto-merging, their results are evaluated for number of paths needed for hand resolving, and the one with the least number of such paths is left in the working tree. The user is asked to resolve them by hand and make a commit manually. The calling convention from the 'git merge' driver to merge strategy programs is very simple: - A strategy program is to be called 'git-merge-<strategy>'. - They take input of this form: <common1> <common2> ... '--' <head> <remote1> <remote2>... That is, one or more the common ancestors, double dash, the current head, and one or more remote heads being merged into the current branch. - Before a strategy program is called, the working tree is matched to the current <head>. - The strategy program exits with status code 0 when it successfully auto-merges the given heads. It should do update-cache for all the merged paths when it does so -- the index file will be used to record the merge result as a commit by the driver. - The strategy program exits with status code 1 when it leaves conflicts behind. It should do update-cache for all the merged paths that it successfully auto-merged, and leave the cache entry in the index file as the same as <head> for paths it could not auto-merge, and leave its best-effort result with conflict markers in the working tree when it does so. - The strategy program exists with status code other than 0 or 1 if it does not handle the given merge at all. As examples, this commit comes with merge strategies based on 'git resolve' and 'git octopus'. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
