| | * | diff.*.xfuncname which uses "extended" regex's for hunk header selectionBrandon Casey2008-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the hunk headers produced by 'diff -p' are customizable by setting the diff.*.funcname option in the config file. The 'funcname' option takes a basic regular expression. This functionality was designed using the GNU regex library which, by default, allows using backslashed versions of some extended regular expression operators, even in Basic Regular Expression mode. For example, the following characters, when backslashed, are interpreted according to the extended regular expression rules: ?, +, and |. As such, the builtin funcname patterns were created using some extended regular expression operators. Other platforms which adhere more strictly to the POSIX spec do not interpret the backslashed extended RE operators in Basic Regular Expression mode. This causes the pattern matching for the builtin funcname patterns to fail on those platforms. Introduce a new option 'xfuncname' which uses extended regular expressions, and advertise it _instead_ of funcname. Since most users are on GNU platforms, the majority of funcname patterns are created and tested there. Advertising only xfuncname should help to avoid the creation of non-portable patterns which work with GNU regex but not elsewhere. Additionally, the extended regular expressions may be less ugly and complicated compared to the basic RE since many common special operators do not need to be backslashed. For example, the GNU Basic RE: ^[ ]*\\(\\(public\\|static\\).*\\)$ becomes the following Extended RE: ^[ ]*((public|static).*)$ Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey <casey@nrlssc.navy.mil> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

A way to resolve this is by inserting something between the last two characters in that sequence (i.e. between '<' and '"'). This patch encloses the conflict markers in backticks, which renders them in a monospace font (in the HTML version; the manual page is unaffected), and with the pleasant side-effect that it also fixes the AsciiDoc compile problem.

| * | | | checkout --conflict=<style>: recreate merge in a non-default styleJunio C Hamano2008-08-31

Setting "merge.conflictstyle" to "diff3" is usually less useful than using the default "merge" style, because the latter allows a conflict that results by both sides changing the same region in a very similar way to get simplified substancially by reducing the common lines. However, when one side removed a group of lines (perhaps a function was moved to some other file) while the other side modified it, the default "merge" style does not give any clue as to why the hunk is left conflicting. You would need the original to understand what is going on. The recommended use would be not to set merge.conflictstyle variable so that you would usually use the default "merge" style conflict, and when the result in a path in a particular merge is too hard to understand, use "git checkout --conflict=diff3 $path" to check it out with the original to review what is going on.

With this patch, checking out an unmerged path from the index now have the following possibilities: * Without any option, an attempt to checkout an unmerged path will atomically fail (i.e. no other cleanly-merged paths are checked out either); * With "-f", other cleanly-merged paths are checked out, and unmerged paths are ignored; * With "--ours" or "--theirs, the contents from the specified stage is checked out; * With "-m" (we should add "--merge" as synonym), the 3-way merge is recreated from the staged object names and checked out.

The rule when one or both of these are used is that the include/exclude patterns are examined in the order they are given on the command line, and the first match determines if a patch to each path is used or not. Hence: $ git apply --include='specific.h' --exclude='*.h' <diff would apply the patch to specific.h header file, but all other patches in the input file to other header files are ignored. A patch to a path that does not match any include/exclude pattern is used by default if there is no include pattern on the command line, and ignored if there is any include pattern. This originally came from Joe Perches, but both the design of the semantics and the implementation have been redone complately. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Szeder Gábor noticed that the git bash completion takes a tremendous amount of time to strip leading components from heads and tags refs (i.e. refs/heads, refs/tags, ...). He proposed a new atom called 'refbasename' which removes at most two leading components from the ref name. I myself, proposed a more dynamic solution, which strips off common leading components with the matched pattern. But the current bash solution and both proposals suffer from one mayor problem: ambiguous refs. A ref is ambiguous, if it resolves to more than one full refs. I.e. given the refs refs/heads/xyzzy and refs/tags/xyzzy. The (short) ref xyzzy can point to both refs. ( Note: Its irrelevant whether the referenced objects are the same or not. ) This proposal solves this by checking for ambiguity of the shorten ref name. The shortening is done with the same rules for resolving refs but in the reverse order. The short name is checked if it resolves to a different ref. To continue the above example, the output would be like this: heads/xyzzy xyzzy So, if you want just tags, xyzzy is not ambiguous, because it will resolve to a tag. If you need the heads you get a also a non-ambiguous short form of the ref. To integrate this new format into the bash completion to get only non-ambiguous refs is beyond the scope of this patch.

It expands to an empty string if the commit has no decoration, or otherwise to a comma (and space) separated list of decorations, surrounded by parentheses and a leading space. Michael Dressel implemented an initial version and chose the letter d, Junio suggested to add a leading space and parentheses.

For example, switching from a commit to another commit, when you have changed a path that is different between them, need to merge your changes to the version from the switched-to commit, which you may not necessarily be able to resolve easily. By default, "git checkout" refused to switch branches, to give you a chance to stash your local changes (or use "-m" to merge, accepting the risks of getting conflicts). This safety, however, had one deliberate hole since early June 2005. When your local change was to remove a path (and optionally to stage that removal), the command checked out the path from the switched-to commit nevertheless. This was to allow an initial checkout to happen smoothly (e.g. an initial checkout is done by starting with an empty index and switching from the commit at the HEAD to the same commit). We can tighten the rule slightly to allow this special case to pass, without losing sight of removal explicitly done by the user, by noticing if the index is truly empty when the operation begins. For historical background, see: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/4641/focus=4646 This case is marked as *0* in the message, which both Linus and I said "it feels somewhat wrong but otherwise we cannot start from an empty index".
