* merge-base: handle --fork-point without reflogJeff King2016-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The --fork-point option looks in the reflog to try to find where a derived branch forked from a base branch. However, if the reflog for the base branch is totally empty (as it commonly is right after cloning, which does not write a reflog entry), then our for_each_reflog call will not find any entries, and we will come up with no merge base, even though there may be one with the current tip of the base. We can fix this by just adding the current tip to our list of collected entries. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* convert trivial cases to ALLOC_ARRAYJeff King2016-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each of these cases can be converted to use ALLOC_ARRAY or REALLOC_ARRAY, which has two advantages: 1. It automatically checks the array-size multiplication for overflow. 2. It always uses sizeof(*array) for the element-size, so that it can never go out of sync with the declared type of the array.

* Convert struct object to object_idbrian m. carlson2015-11-20
| | | | | | | | | struct object is one of the major data structures dealing with object IDs. Convert it to use struct object_id instead of an unsigned char array. Convert get_object_hash to refer to the new member as well. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
* standardize usage info string formatAlex Henrie2015-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch puts the usage info strings that were not already in docopt- like format into docopt-like format, which will be a litle easier for end users and a lot easier for translators. Changes include: - Placing angle brackets around fill-in-the-blank parameters - Putting dashes in multiword parameter names - Adding spaces to [-f|--foobar] to make [-f | --foobar] - Replacing <foobar>* with [<foobar>...] Signed-off-by: Alex Henrie <alexhenrie24@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* get_merge_bases(): always clean-up object flagsJunio C Hamano2014-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The callers of get_merge_bases() can choose to leave object flags used during the merge-base traversal by passing cleanup=0 as a parameter, but in practice a very few callers can afford to do so (namely, "git merge-base"), as they need to compute merge base in preparation for other processing of their own and they need to see the object without contaminate flags. Change the function signature of get_merge_bases_many() and get_merge_bases() to drop the cleanup parameter, so that the majority of the callers do not have to say ", 1" at the end. Give a new get_merge_bases_many_dirty() API to support only a few callers that know they do not need to spend cycles cleaning up the object flags. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| * merge-base --octopus: reduce the result from get_octopus_merge_bases()Junio C Hamano2013-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Scripts that use "merge-base --octopus" could do the reducing themselves, but most of them are expected to want to get the reduced results without having to do any work themselves. Tests are taken from a message by Василий Макаров <einmalfel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> --- We might want to vet the existing callers of the underlying get_octopus_merge_bases() and find out if _all_ of them are doing anything extra (like deduping) because the machinery can return duplicate results. And if that is the case, then we may want to move the dedupling down the callchain instead of having it here.
| * merge-base: separate "--independent" codepath into its own helperJunio C Hamano2013-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It piggybacks on an unrelated handle_octopus() function only because there are some similarities between the way they need to preprocess their input and output their result. There is nothing similar in the true logic between these two operations. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | merge-base: teach "--fork-point" modeJunio C Hamano2013-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "git pull --rebase" command computes the fork point of the branch being rebased using the reflog entries of the "base" branch (typically a remote-tracking branch) the branch's work was based on, in order to cope with the case in which the "base" branch has been rewound and rebuilt. For example, if the history looked like this: o---B1 / ---o---o---B2--o---o---o---Base \ B3 \ Derived where the current tip of the "base" branch is at Base, but earlier fetch observed that its tip used to be B3 and then B2 and then B1 before getting to the current commit, and the branch being rebased on top of the latest "base" is based on commit B3, it tries to find B3 by going through the output of "git rev-list --reflog base" (i.e. Base, B1, B2, B3) until it finds a commit that is an ancestor of the current tip "Derived". Internally, we have get_merge_bases_many() that can compute this with one-go. We would want a merge-base between Derived and a fictitious merge commit that would result by merging all the historical tips of "base". When such a commit exist, we should get a single result, which exactly match one of the reflog entries of "base". Teach "git merge-base" a new mode, "--fork-point", to compute exactly that.

* | merge-base: use OPT_CMDMODE and clarify the command line parsingJunio C Hamano2013-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The --octopus, --independent and --is-ancestor are mutually exclusive command modes (in addition to not giving any of these options), so represent them as such using the recent OPT_CMDMODE facility available since 11588263 (parse-options: add OPT_CMDMODE(), 2013-07-30), which is in v1.8.4-82-g366b80b. --all is compatible only with plain vanilla mode and --octopus mode, and the minimum number of arguments the command takes depends on the command modes, so these are now separately checked in each command mode.

* | Replace deprecated OPT_BOOLEAN by OPT_BOOLStefan Beller2013-08-05
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | This task emerged from b04ba2bb (parse-options: deprecate OPT_BOOLEAN, 2011-09-27). All occurrences of the respective variables have been reviewed and none of them relied on the counting up mechanism, but all of them were using the variable as a true boolean.

* use logical OR (||) instead of binary OR (|) in logical contextRené Scharfe2013-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The compiler can short-circuit the evaluation of conditions strung together with logical OR operators instead of computing the resulting bitmask with binary ORs. More importantly, this patch makes the intent of the changed code clearer, because the logical context (as opposed to binary context) becomes immediately obvious. While we're at it, simplify the check for patch->is_rename in builtin/apply.c a bit; it can only be 0 or 1, so we don't need a comparison operator.

| * merge-base: "--is-ancestor A B"Junio C Hamano2012-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In many scripted Porcelain commands, we find this idiom: if test "$(git rev-parse --verify A)" = "$(git merge-base A B)" then ... A is an ancestor of B ... fi But you do not have to compute exact merge-base only to see if A is an ancestor of B. Give them a more direct way to use the underlying machinery.

* Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectoryLinus Torvalds2010-02-22
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n) [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab> builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c you get [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type] builtin/ builtin.h [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief. NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off around 100 choices or something. So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
