* move git_version_string into version.cJeff King2012-06-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The global git_version_string currently lives in git.c, but doesn't have anything to do with the git wrapper. Let's move it into its own file, where it will be more appropriate to build more version-related functions. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Reduce cost of deletion in levenstein distance (4 -> 3)Matthieu Moy2012-05-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this patch, a character deletion has the same cost as 2 swaps, or 4 additions, so Git prefers suggesting a completely scrambled command name to removing a character. For example, "git tags" suggests "stage", but not "tag". By setting the deletion cost to 3, we keep it higher than swaps or additions, but prefer 1 deletion to 2 swaps. "git tags" now suggests "tag" in addition to staged. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* | help: replace underlining "help -a" headers using hyphens with a blank lineNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2012-04-251-13/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to underline a header text, like this: This is a header ---------------- content... But calculating text length so that the dashes align with the text could get complicated because the text could be in any charset in translated Git. There is no point to use this pseudo underline; simply a blank line would do and it even makes it easier to read: This is a header content...

* pager: find out the terminal width before spawning the pagerzj/term-columnsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2012-02-131-22/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | term_columns() checks for terminal width via ioctl(2) on the standard output, but we spawn the pager too early for this check to be useful. The effect of this buglet can be observed by opening a wide terminal and running "git -p help --all", which still shows 80-column output, while "git help --all" uses the full terminal width. Run the check before we spawn the pager to fix this. While at it, move term_columns() to pager.c and export it from cache.h so that callers other than the help subsystem can use it.

* | help.c: Fix detection of custom merge strategy on cygwinRamsay Jones2011-06-161-1/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Test t7606-merge-custom.sh fails on cygwin when git-merge fails with an "Could not find merge strategy 'theirs'" error, despite the test correctly preparing an (executable) git-merge-theirs script. The cause of the failure is the mis-detection of the executable status of the script, by the is_executable() function, while the load_command_list() function is searching the path for additional merge strategy programs. Note that the l/stat() "functions" on cygwin are somewhat schizophrenic (see commits adbc0b6, 7faee6b and 7974843), and their behaviour depends on the timing of various git setup and config function calls. In particular, until the "git_dir" has been set (have_git_dir() returns true), the real cygwin (POSIX emulating) l/stat() functions are called. Once "git_dir" has been set, the "native Win32 API" implementations of l/stat() may, or may not, be called depending on the setting of the core.filemode and core.ignorecygwinfstricks config variables. We also note that, since commit c869753, core.filemode is forced to false, even on NTFS, by git-init and git-clone. A user (or a test) can, of course, reset core.filemode to true explicitly if the filesystem supports it (and he doesn't use any problematic windows software). The test-suite currently runs all tests on cygwin with core.filemode set to false. Given the above, we see that the built-in merge strategies are correctly detected as executable, since they are checked for before "git_dir" is set, whereas all custom merge strategies are not, since they are checked for after "git_dir" is set. In order to fix the mis-detection problem, we change the code in is_executable() to re-use the conditional WIN32 code section, which actually looks at the content of the file to determine if the file is executable. On cygwin we also make the additional code conditional on the executable bit of the file mode returned by the initial stat() call. (only the real cygwin function would set the executable bit in the file mode.) Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@ramsay1.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* help: always suggest common-cmds if prefix of cmdErik Faye-Lund2010-12-051-8/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If someone runs "git st", the command "git status" is not suggested because it's not one of the closest levenshtein-neighbour.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a given command is not found, then help.c tries to guess which one the user could have meant. If help.autocorrect is 0 or unset, then a list of suggestions is given as long as the dissimilarity between the given command and the candidates is not excessively high. But if help.autocorrect was non-zero (i.e., a delay after which the command is run automatically), the latter restriction on dissimilarity was not obeyed. In my case, this happened: $ git ..daab02 WARNING: You called a Git command named '..daab02', which does not exist.

Avoiding MSYS' bash when possible is good because it avoids potential path translation issues. In this case it is not too hard to avoid launching a shell, so let's avoid it. The Windows-specific code is implemented in compat/mingw.c to avoid platform-specific code in the main code base. On Windows, open_html is provided as a define. If open_html is not defined, git-web--browse is used. This approach avoids platform-specific ifdefs by using per-function ifdefs. The "ifndef open_html" together with the introductory comment should sufficiently warn developers, so that they hopefully will not break this mechanism.

On Windows it failed for two reasons: - The PATH separator is ';', not ':' on Windows. - stat() does not set the executable bit. We now open the file and guess whether it is executable. The result of the guess is good enough for the list of git commands, but it is of no use for a general stat() implementation because (1) it is a guess, (2) the user has no way to influence the outcome (via chmod or similar), and (3) it would reduce stat() performance by an unacceptable amount.

If you run "git help -m GITCMD" with the "man.viewer" config variable set to an unrecognized tool then it will query the "man.<tool>.cmd" config variable.

* help: respect aliasesJeff King2008-02-241-1/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we have an alias "foo" defined, then the help text for "foo" (via "git help foo" or "git foo --help") now shows the definition of the alias. Before showing an alias definition, we make sure that there is no git command which would override the alias (so that even though you may have a "log" alias, even though it will not work, we don't want to it supersede "git help log").
