| * git checkout: do not allow switching to a tree-ish that is not a commitJunio C Hamano2009-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "git checkout -b newbranch $commit^{tree}" mistakenly created a new branch rooted at the current HEAD, because in that case, the two structure fields used to see if the command was invoked without any argument (hence it needs to default to checking out the HEAD) were populated incorrectly. Upon seeing a command line argument that we took as a rev, we should store that string in new.name, even if that does not name a commit. This will correctly trigger the existing safety logic.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I think it's unnecessary to warn that the checkout has been forced due to an unborn current branch if -f has been explicitly passed. For one project, I am using git-new-workdir to create workdirs from a bare repository whose HEAD is set to an unborn branch, and this warning started to irritate me.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier commit 5521883 (checkout: do not lose staged removal, 2008-09-07) tightened the rule to prevent switching branches from losing local changes, so that staged removal of paths can be protected, while attempting to keep a loophole to still allow a special case of switching out of an un-checked-out state. However, the loophole was made a bit too tight, and did not allow switching from one branch (in an un-checked-out state) to check out another branch. The change to builtin-checkout.c in this commit loosens it to allow this, by not insisting the original commit and the new commit to be the same. It also introduces a new function, is_index_unborn (and an associated macro, is_cache_unborn), to check if the repository is truly in an un-checked-out state more reliably, by making sure that $GIT_INDEX_FILE did not exist when populating the in-core index structure. A few places the earlier commit 5521883 added the check for the initial checkout condition are updated to use this function. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

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.

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".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch is twofold: it moves the option consistency checks just under the parse_options call so that it doesn't get in the way of the tree reference vs. pathspecs desambiguation. The other part rewrites the way to understand arguments so that when git-checkout fails it does with an understandable message. Compared to the previous behavior we now have: - a better error message when doing: git checkout <blob reference> -- now complains about the reference not pointing to a tree, instead of things like: error: pathspec <blob reference> did not match any file(s) known to git. error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git. - a better error message when doing: git checkout <path> -- It now complains about <path> not being a reference instead of the completely obscure: error: pathspec '--' did not match any file(s) known to git. - an error when -- wasn't used, and the first argument is ambiguous (i.e. can be interpreted as both ref and as path).

* checkout: "best effort" checkoutJunio C Hamano2008-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When unpack_trees() returned an error while switching branches, we used to stop right there, exiting without writing the index out or switching HEAD. This is Ok when unpack_trees() returned an error because it detected untracked files or locally modified paths that could be overwritten by branch switching, because that error return is done before we start to modify the work tree. But it is undesirable if unpack_trees() already started to update the work tree and a failure is returned because some but not all paths are updated in the work tree, perhaps because a directory that some files need to go in was read-only by mistake, or a file that will be overwritten by branch switching had a mandatory lock on it and we failed to unlink it. This changes the behaviour upon such an error to complete the branch switching; the files updated in the work tree will hopefully be much more consistent with the index and HEAD derived from the switched-to branch. We still issue error messages, and exit the command with non-zero status, so scripted callers need to notice it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

We _could_ change it if it is broken in such a way that it cannot convey necessary information fully, but we just do not _reword_ for the sake of rewording. If somebody does not like it, s/he is complaining too late. S/he should have been here in early May 2005 and make the language used by the API closer to what humans read. S/he wasn't here. Too bad, and it is too late. And people who complain should look at a bigger picture. Look at what was suggested by one of them and think for five seconds: $ git checkout mytopic -fatal: Entry 'frotz' not uptodate. Cannot merge. +fatal: Entry 'frotz' has local changes. Cannot merge. If you do not see something wrong with this output, your brain has already been rotten with use of git for too long a time. Nobody asked us to "merge" but why are we talking about "Cannot merge"? This patch introduces a mechanism to allow Porcelains to specify messages that are different from the ones that is given by the underlying plumbing implementation of read-tree, so that we can reword the message Porcelains give without disrupting the output from the plumbing. $ git-checkout pu error: You have local changes to 'Makefile'; cannot switch branches. There are other places that ask unpack_trees() to n-way merge, detect issues and let it issue error message on its own, but I did this as a demonstration and replaced only one message. Yes I know about C99 structure initializers. I'd love to use them but we try to be nice to compilers without it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calling pretty_print_commit, there is an implicit assumption that passing in a non-NULL "subject" variable for oneline or email formats means that the output is part of a subject and therefore "subject" to rfc2047 encoding. This is not the desired effect when reporting the movement of detached HEAD. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
