| * Introducing git-cvsserver -- a CVS emulator for git.Martin Langhoff2006-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | git-cvsserver is highly functional. However, not all methods are implemented, and for those methods that are implemented, not all switches are implemented. All the common read operations are implemented, and add/remove/commit are supported. Testing has been done using both the CLI CVS client, and the Eclipse CVS plugin. Most functionality works fine with both of these clients. Currently git-cvsserver only works over SSH connections, see the Documentation for more details on how to configure your client. It does not support pserver for anonymous access but it should not be hard to implement. Anonymous access will need tighter input validation. In our very informal tests, it seems to be significantly faster than a real CVS server. This utility depends on a version of git-cvsannotate that supports -S and on DBD::SQLite. Licensed under GPLv2.

* | | Add new git-rm command with documentationCarl Worth2006-02-22
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a git-rm command which provides convenience similar to git-add, (and a bit more since it takes care of the rm as well if given -f). Like git-add, git-rm expands the given path names through git-ls-files. This means it only acts on files listed in the index. And it does act recursively on directories by default, (no -r needed as in the case of rm itself). When it recurses, it does not remove empty directories that are left behind.

Actually, I got interested in seeing how hard this is, and wrote a simple first cut at doing a tree-optimized merger. Let me shout a bit first: THIS IS WORKING CODE, BUT BE CAREFUL: IT'S A TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION RATHER THAN THE FINAL PRODUCT! With that out of the way, let me descibe what this does (and then describe the missing parts). This is basically a three-way merge that works entirely on the "tree" level, rather than on the index. A lot of the _concepts_ are the same, though, and if you're familiar with the results of an index merge, some of the output will make more sense. You give it three trees: the base tree (tree 0), and the two branches to be merged (tree 1 and tree 2 respectively). It will then walk these three trees, and resolve them as it goes along. The interesting part is: - it can resolve whole sub-directories in one go, without actually even looking recursively at them. A whole subdirectory will resolve the same way as any individual files will (although that may need some modification, see later). - if it has a "content conflict", for subdirectories that means "try to do a recursive tree merge", while for non-subdirectories it's just a content conflict and we'll output the stage 1/2/3 information. - a successful merge will output a single stage 0 ("merged") entry, potentially for a whole subdirectory. - it outputs all the resolve information on stdout, so something like the recursive resolver can pretty easily parse it all. Now, the caveats: - we probably need to be more careful about subdirectory resolves. The trivial case (both branches have the exact same subdirectory) is a trivial resolve, but the other cases ("branch1 matches base, branch2 is different" probably can't be silently just resolved to the "branch2" subdirectory state, since it might involve renames into - or out of - that subdirectory) - we do not track the current index file at all, so this does not do the "check that index matches branch1" logic that the three-way merge in git-read-tree does. The theory is that we'd do a full three-way merge (ignoring the index and working directory), and then to update the working tree, we'd do a two-way "git-read-tree branch1->result" - I didn't actually make it do all the trivial resolve cases that git-read-tree does. It's a technology demonstration. Finally (a more serious caveat): - doing things through stdout may end up being so expensive that we'd need to do something else. In particular, it's likely that I should not actually output the "merge results", but instead output a "merge results as they _differ_ from branch1" However, I think this patch is already interesting enough that people who are interested in merging trees might want to look at it. Please keep in mind that tech _demo_ part, and in particular, keep in mind the final "serious caveat" part. In many ways, the really _interesting_ part of a merge is not the result, but how it _changes_ the branch we're merging into. That's particularly important as it should hopefully also mean that the output size for any reasonable case is minimal (and tracks what we actually need to do to the current state to create the final result). The code very much is organized so that doing the result as a "diff against branch1" should be quite easy/possible. I was actually going to do it, but I decided that it probably makes the output harder to read. I dunno. Anyway, let's think about this kind of approach.. Note how the code itself is actually quite small and short, although it's prbably pretty "dense". As an interesting test-case, I'd suggest this merge in the kernel: git-merge-tree $(git-merge-base 4cbf876 7d2babc) 4cbf876 7d2babc which resolves beautifully (there are no actual file-level conflicts), and you can look at the output of that command to start thinking about what it does. The interesting part (perhaps) is that timing that command for me shows that it takes all of 0.004 seconds.. (the git-merge-base thing takes considerably more ;) The point is, we _can_ do the actual merge part really really quickly. Linus PS. Final note: when I say that it is "WORKING CODE", that is obviously by my standards. IOW, I tested it once and it gave reasonable results - so it must be perfect. Whether it works for anybody else, or indeed for any other test-case, is not my problem ;) Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* git-status -vJunio C Hamano2006-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This revamps the git-status command to take the same set of parameters as git commit. It gives a preview of what is being committed with that command. With -v flag, it shows the diff output between the HEAD commit and the index that would be committed if these flags were given to git-commit command. git-commit also acquires -v flag (it used to mean "verify" but that is the default anyway and there is --no-verify to turn it off, so not much is lost), which uses the updated git-status -v to seed the commit log buffer. This is handy for writing a log message while reviewing the changes one last time. Now, git-commit and git-status are internally share the same implementation. Unlike previous git-commit change, this uses a temporary index to prepare the index file that would become the real index file after a successful commit, and moves it to the real index file once the commit is actually made. This makes it safer than the previous scheme, which stashed away the original index file and restored it after an aborted commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-rerere: reuse recorded resolve.Junio C Hamano2006-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

It shows a "combined diff" (hence the option letter 'c'), which looks like this: $ git-diff-tree --pretty -c -p fec9ebf1 | head -n 18 diff-tree fec9ebf... (from parents) Merge: 0620db3... 8a263ae... Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Date: Sun Jan 15 22:25:35 2006 -0800 Merge fixes up to GIT 1.1.3 diff --combined describe.c @@@ +98,7 @@@ return (a_date > b_date) ? -1 : (a_date == b_date) ? 0 : 1; } - static void describe(char *arg) - static void describe(struct commit *cmit, int last_one) ++ static void describe(char *arg, int last_one) { + unsigned char sha1[20]; + struct commit *cmit; There are a few things to note about this feature: - The '-c' option implies '-p'. It also implies '-m' halfway in the sense that "interesting" merges are shown, but not all merges. - When a blob matches one of the parents, we do not show a diff for that path at all. For a merge commit, this option shows paths with real file-level merge (aka "interesting things"). - As a concequence of the above, an "uninteresting" merge is not shown at all. You can use '-m' in addition to '-c' to show the commit log for such a merge, but there will be no combined diff output. - Unlike "gitk", the output is monochrome. A '-' character in the nth column means the line is from the nth parent and does not appear in the merge result (i.e. removed from that parent's version). A '+' character in the nth column means the line appears in the merge result, and the nth parent does not have that line (i.e. added by the merge itself or inherited from another parent). The above example output shows that the function signature was changed from either parents (hence two "-" lines and a "++" line), and "unsigned char sha1[20]", prefixed by a " +", was inherited from the first parent. The code as sent to the list was buggy in few corner cases, which I have fixed since then. It does not bother to keep track of and show the line numbers from parent commits, which it probably should.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH. - git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands. - exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in the following directories: 1. --exec-path (as used by "git") 2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable. 3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)). - git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to invoke "git-foo" commands. Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

Maybe this is something that "git-name-rev" should be taught to do, instead of having a separate command for it. Regardless, I find it useful. What it does is to take any random commit, and "name" it by looking up the most recent commit that is tagged and reachable from that commit. If the match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA". IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4, but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit 2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6. Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4 refs/tags/v1.0.4 unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it will just choose one at random. This is useful for two things: - automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a much more useful description of exactly what version was installed. - for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or "git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6 refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in v2.6.14-rc5. The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a commit happened in. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
