| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of warning the user that it is expecting git log output from the standard input (and waiting for the user to type the log from the keyboard, which is a silly thing to do), default to traverse from HEAD when there is no rev parameter given and the standard input is a tty. This factors out a useful helper "add_head()" from builtin-diff.c to a more appropriate place revision.c while renaming it to more descriptive name add_head_to_pending(), as that is what the function is about.

* | Re-fix "builtin-commit: fix --signoff"Junio C Hamano2007-12-09
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An earlier fix to the said commit was incomplete; it mixed up the meaning of the flag parameter passed to the internal fmt_ident() function, so this corrects it. git_author_info() and git_committer_info() can be told to issue a warning when no usable user information is found, and optionally can be told to error out. Operations that actually use the information to record a new commit or a tag will still error out, but the caller to leave reflog record will just silently use bogus user information. Not warning on misconfigured user information while writing a reflog entry is somewhat debatable, but it is probably nicer to the users to silently let it pass, because the only information you are losing is who checked out the branch. * git_author_info() and git_committer_info() used to take 1 (positive int) to error out with a warning on misconfiguration; this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME. * These functions used to take -1 (negative int) to warn but continue; this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_WARN_ON_NO_NAME. * fmt_ident() function implements the above error reporting behaviour common to git_author_info() and git_committer_info(). A symbolic constant IDENT_NO_DATE can be or'ed in to the flag parameter to make it return only the "Name <email@address.xz>". * fmt_name() is a thin wrapper around fmt_ident() that always passes IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME and IDENT_NO_DATE.

| * Fix parent rewriting in --early-outputLinus Torvalds2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We cannot tell a node that has been checked and found not to be interesting (which does not have the TREECHANGE flag) from a node that hasn't been checked if it is interesting or not, without relying on something else, such as object->parsed. But an object can get the "parsed" flag for other reasons. Which means that "TREECHANGE" has the wrong polarity. This changes the way how the path pruning logic marks an uninteresting commits. From now on, we consider a commit interesting by default, and explicitly mark the ones we decided to prune. The flag is renamed to "TREESAME". Then, this fixes the logic to show the early output with incomplete pruning. It basically says "a commit that has TREESAME set is kind-of-UNINTERESTING", but obviously in a different way than an outright UNINTERESTING commit. Until we parse and examine enough parents to determine if a commit becomes surely "kind-of-UNINTERESTING", we avoid rewriting the ancestry so that later rounds can fix things up.

It then just replaces it with a bit that says "prune or not", and if not pruning, every commit gets TREECHANGE. That in turn means that - if (!revs->prune_fn || (flags & TREECHANGE)) - if (revs->prune_fn && !(flags & TREECHANGE)) just become - if (flags & TREECHANGE) - if (!(flags & TREECHANGE)) respectively. Together with adding the "single_parent()" helper function, the "complex" conditional now becomes if (!(flags & TREECHANGE) && rev->dense && single_parent(commit)) continue; Also indirection of "revs->dense" checking is thrown away the same way, because TREECHANGE bit is set appropriately now.

| * Enhance --early-output formatLinus Torvalds2007-11-05

I realize that the "Final output:" line is now illogical, since it's not really final until it also says "done", but It now _always_ generates a "Final output:" header in front of any commit list, and that output header gives you a *guess* at the maximum number of commits available. However, it should be noted that the guess can be completely off: I do a reasonable job estimating it, but it is not meant to be exact. So what happens is that you may get output like this: - at 0.1 seconds: Final output: 2 incomplete .. 2 commits listed .. - half a second later: Final output: 33 incomplete .. 33 commits listed .. - another half a second after that: Final output: 71 incomplete .. 71 commits listed .. - another half second later: Final output: 136 incomplete .. 100 commits listed: we hit the --early-output limit, and .. will only output 100 commits, and after this you'll not .. see an "incomplete" report any more since you got as much .. early output as you asked for! - .. and then finally: Final output: 73106 done .. all the commits .. The above is a real-life scenario on my current kernel tree after having flushed all the caches. Tested with the experimental gitk patch that Paul sent out, and by looking at the actual log output (and verifying that my commit count guesses actually match real life fairly well).

| * Add "--early-output" log flag for interactive GUI useLinus Torvalds2007-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for "--early-output[=n]" as a flag to the "git log" family of commands. This allows GUI programs to state that they want to get some output early, in order to be able to show at least something quickly, even if the full output may take longer to generate. If no count is specified, a default count of a hundred commits will be used, although the actual numbr of commits output may be smaller depending on how many commits were actually found in the first tenth of a second (or if *everything* was found before that, in which case no early output will be provided, and only the final list is made available). When the full list is generated, there will be a "Final output:" string prepended to it, regardless of whether any early commits were shown or not, so that the consumer can always know the difference between early output and the final list.

This narrows the special case a bit more, by making: git format-patch --root this_version to show everything that leads to the named commit. More importantly, document the two different semantics better. The generic revision range semantics came later and bolted on without being clearly documented.

* Finally implement "git log --follow"Linus Torvalds2007-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ok, I've really held off doing this too damn long, because I'm lazy, and I was always hoping that somebody else would do it. But no, people keep asking for it, but nobody actually did anything, so I decided I might as well bite the bullet, and instead of telling people they could add a "--follow" flag to "git log" to do what they want to do, I decided that it looks like I just have to do it for them.. The code wasn't actually that complicated, in that the diffstat for this patch literally says "70 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)", but I will have to admit that in order to get to this fairly simple patch, you did have to know and understand the internal git diff generation machinery pretty well, and had to really be able to follow how commit generation interacts with generating patches and generating the log. So I suspect that while I was right that it wasn't that hard, I might have been expecting too much of random people - this patch does seem to be firmly in the core "Linus or Junio" territory. To make a long story short: I'm sorry for it taking so long until I just did it. I'm not going to guarantee that this works for everybody, but you really can just look at the patch, and after the appropriate appreciative noises ("Ooh, aah") over how clever I am, you can then just notice that the code itself isn't really that complicated. All the real new code is in the new "try_to_follow_renames()" function. It really isn't rocket science: we notice that the pathname we were looking at went away, so we start a full tree diff and try to see if we can instead make that pathname be a rename or a copy from some other previous pathname. And if we can, we just continue, except we show *that* particular diff, and ever after we use the _previous_ pathname. One thing to look out for: the "rename detection" is considered to be a singular event in the _linear_ "git log" output! That's what people want to do, but I just wanted to point out that this patch is *not* carrying around a "commit,pathname" kind of pair and it's *not* going to be able to notice the file coming from multiple *different* files in earlier history. IOW, if you use "git log --follow", then you get the stupid CVS/SVN kind of "files have single identities" kind of semantics, and git log will just pick the identity based on the normal move/copy heuristics _as_if_ the history could be linearized. Put another way: I think the model is broken, but given the broken model, I think this patch does just about as well as you can do. If you have merges with the same "file" having different filenames over the two branches, git will just end up picking _one_ of the pathnames at the point where the newer one goes away. It never looks at multiple pathnames in parallel. And if you understood all that, you probably didn't need it explained, and if you didn't understand the above blathering, it doesn't really mtter to you. What matters to you is that you can now do git log -p --follow builtin-rev-list.c and it will find the point where the old "rev-list.c" got renamed to "builtin-rev-list.c" and show it as such.

* Lift 16kB limit of log message outputJunio C Hamano2007-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Traditionally we had 16kB limit when formatting log messages for output, because it was easier to arrange for the caller to have a reasonably big buffer and pass it down without ever worrying about reallocating. This changes the calling convention of pretty_print_commit() to lift this limit. Instead of the buffer and remaining length, it now takes a pointer to the pointer that points at the allocated buffer, and another pointer to the location that stores the allocated length, and reallocates the buffer as necessary. To support the user format, the error return of interpolate() needed to be changed. It used to return a bool telling "Ok the result fits", or "Sorry, I had to truncate it". Now it returns 0 on success, and returns the size of the buffer it wants in order to fit the whole result. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The reason was because we wanted to prevent bad commits from being made by git-commit-tree (and its callers). The value 0 is only used by "git var -l". Now it takes -1, 0 or 1. When set to -1, it does not complain but uses the pw->pw_name when name is not available. Existing 0 and 1 values mean the same thing as they used to mean before. 0 means issue warnings and leave it empty, 1 means barf and die. - ignore_missing_committer_name() and its existing caller (receive-pack, to set the reflog) have been removed. - git-format-patch, to come up with the phoney message ID when asked to thread, now passes -1 to git_committer_info(). This codepath uses only the e-mail part, ignoring the name. It used to barf and die. The other call in the same program when asked to add signed-off-by line based on committer identity still passes 1 to make sure it barfs instead of adding a bogus s-o-b line. - log_ref_write in refs.c, to come up with the name to record who initiated the ref update in the reflog, passes -1. It used to barf and die. The last change means that git-update-ref, git-branch, and commit walker backends can now be used in a repository with reflog by somebody who does not have the user identity required to make a commit. They all used to barf and die. I've run tests and all of them seem to pass, and also tried "git clone" as a user whose GECOS is empty -- git clone works again now (it was broken when reflog was enabled by default). But this definitely needs extra sets of eyeballs. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* format-patch: fix bug with --stdout in a subdirectoryJeff King2007-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | | We set the output directory to the git subdirectory prefix if one has not already been specified. However, in the case of --stdout, we explicitly _don't_ want the output directory to be set. The result was that "git-format-patch --stdout" in a directory besides the project root produced the "standard output, or directory, which one?" error message.

* --walk-reflogs: do not crash with cyclic reflog ancestryJohannes Schindelin2007-01-20
| | | | | | | | Since you can reset --hard to any revision you already had, when traversing the reflog ancestry, we may not free() the commit buffer. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-format-patch: the default suffix is now .patch, not .txtJunio C Hamano2007-01-17
| | | | | | | Editors often give easier handling of patch files if the filename ends with .patch, so use it instead of .txt. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-format-patch: make --binary on by defaultJunio C Hamano2007-01-17
| | | | | | | | It does not make much sense to generate a patch that cannot be applied. If --text is specified on the command line it still takes precedence. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Add --summary to git-format-patch by defaultJunio C Hamano2007-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | This adds --summary output in addition to the --stat to the output from git-format-patch by default. I think additions, removals and filemode changes are rare but notable events and always showing it makes sense. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-format-patch -3Junio C Hamano2007-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | This teaches "git-format-patch" to honor the --max-count parameter revision traversal machinery takes, so that you can say "git-format-patch -3" to process the three topmost commits from the current HEAD (or "git-format-patch -2 topic" to name a specific branch).
