* git-diff: resurrect the traditional empty "diff --git" behaviourJunio C Hamano2007-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from "git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns out to be a bad idea. It robbed cache-dirty information from people who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh". It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore. This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist. By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out from "git diff" output. At the end of the command, it automatically runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the user. In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness do not even have to see the warning. The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.

* branch --track: code cleanup and saner handling of local branchesJohannes Schindelin2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch cleans up some complicated code, and replaces it with a cleaner version, using code from remote.[ch], which got extended a little in the process. This also enables us to fix two cases: The earlier "fix" to setup tracking only when the original ref started with "refs/remotes" is wrong. You are absolutely allowed to use a separate layout for your tracking branches. The correct fix, of course, is to set up tracking information only when there is a matching remote.<nick>.fetch line containing a colon. Another corner case was not handled properly. If two remotes write to the original ref, just warn the user and do not set up tracking.

* branch.autosetupmerge: allow boolean values, or "all"Johannes Schindelin2007-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Junio noticed that switching on autosetupmerge unilaterally started cluttering the config for local branches. That is not the original intention of branch.autosetupmerge, which was meant purely for convenience when branching off of remote branches, but that semantics got lost somewhere. If you still want that "new" behavior, you can switch branch.autosetupmerge to the value "all". Otherwise, it is interpreted as a boolean, which triggers setting up defaults _only_ when branching off of a remote branch, i.e. the originally intended behavior.

* Enable "git rerere" by the config variable rerere.enabledJohannes Schindelin2007-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier, "git rerere" was enabled by creating the directory .git/rr-cache. That is definitely not in line with most other features, which are enabled by a config variable. So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set to "false" explicitely, do not activate rerere, even if .git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable rerere temporarily. If "rerere.enabled" is not set at all, fall back to detection of the directory .git/rr-cache.

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.

The work tree can be specified using the environment variable GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment variable has precendence over the config option). Additionally there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the environment variable. setup_gdg does the following now: GIT_DIR unspecified repository in .git directory parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree, GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored GIT_DIR unspecified repository in cwd GIT_DIR is set to cwd see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and also see the note below GIT_DIR specified GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified cwd is used as work tree GIT_DIR specified GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified the specified work tree is used Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd: GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true. I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls setup_gdg should do the same thing every time. Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir: (1) is_bare_repository A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not named .git). The bare option disables a few protective checks which are useful with a working tree. Currently this changes if a repository is bare: updates of HEAD are allowed git gc packs the refs the reflog is disabled by default (2) is_inside_work_tree True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there is one), false otherwise. (3) is_inside_git_dir True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise. Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare repositories. When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is always called. This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified. inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a repository. The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Creating deltas between big blobs is a CPU and memory intensive task. In the writing phase, all (not reused) deltas are redone. This patch adds support for caching deltas from the deltifing phase, so that that the writing phase is faster. The caching is limited to small deltas to avoid increasing memory usage very much. The implemented limit is (memory needed to create the delta)/1024.

Loose objects will be compressed using core.loosecompression if set, else core.compression if set, else Z_BEST_SPEED. Packed objects will be compressed using --compression=level if seen, else pack.compression if set, else core.compression if set, else Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION. This is the "pack compression level". Loose objects added to a pack undeltified will be recompressed to the pack compression level if it is unequal to the current loose compression level by the preceding rules, or if the loose object was written while core.legacyheaders = true. Newly deltified loose objects are always compressed to the current pack compression level. Previously packed objects added to a pack are recompressed to the current pack compression level exactly when their deltification status changes, since the previous pack data cannot be reused. In either case, the --no-reuse-object switch from the first patch below will always force recompression to the current pack compression level, instead of assuming the pack compression level hasn't changed and pack data can be reused when possible.

Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the noise in the end. This patch gets rid of core.legacyheaders, preserve the legacy format as the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to keep things simpler.
