* git-branch: add options and tests for branch renamingLars Hjemli2006-12-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend git-branch with the following options: git-branch -m|-M [<oldbranch>] newbranch The -M variation is required to force renaming over an exsisting branchname. This also indroduces $GIT_DIR/RENAME_REF which is a "metabranch" used when renaming branches. It will always hold the original sha1 for the latest renamed branch. Additionally, if $GIT_DIR/logs/RENAME_REF exists, all branch rename events are logged there. Finally, some testcases are added to verify the new options.

* Add -v and --abbrev options to git-branchLars Hjemli2006-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | The new -v option makes git-branch show the abbreviated sha1 + subjectline for each branch. Additionally, minimum abbreviation length can be specified with --abbrev=<length> Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Add support to git-branch to show local and remote branchesAndy Parkins2006-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of storing a list of refnames in append_ref, a list of structures is created. Each of these stores the refname and a symbolic constant representing its type. The creation of the list is filtered based on a command line switch; no switch means "local branches only", "-r" means "remote branches only" (as they always did); but now "-a" means "local branches or remote branches". As a side effect, the list is now not global, but allocated in print_ref_list() where it used. Also a memory leak is plugged, the memory allocated during the list creation was never freed. It lays a groundwork to also display tags, but the command being 'git branch' it is not currently used.

* Big tool rename.Junio C Hamano2005-09-07
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
