| * merge: add '--continue' option as a synonym for 'git commit'Chris Packham2016-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Teach 'git merge' the --continue option which allows 'continuing' a merge by completing it. The traditional way of completing a merge after resolving conflicts is to use 'git commit'. Now with commands like 'git rebase' and 'git cherry-pick' having a '--continue' option adding such an option to 'git merge' presents a consistent UI.

* | hold_locked_index(): align error handling with hold_lockfile_for_update()Junio C Hamano2016-12-07
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Callers of the hold_locked_index() function pass 0 when they want to prepare to write a new version of the index file without wishing to die or emit an error message when the request fails (e.g. somebody else already held the lock), and pass 1 when they want the call to die upon failure. This option is called LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR by the underlying lockfile API, and the hold_locked_index() function translates the paramter to LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update(). Replace these hardcoded '1' with LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR and stop translating. Callers other than the ones that are replaced with this change pass '0' to the function; no behaviour change is intended with this patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> --- Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0: - diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an opportunistic update; it leaks the lockfile structure but it is just before the program exits and nobody should care. - builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(), builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(), sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic updates and they are OK. - builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock. We do diagnose and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK. - wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY. It asks silence, does not check the returned value. Compare with callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.
* find_unique_abbrev: use 4-buffer ringJeff King2016-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some code paths want to format multiple abbreviated sha1s in the same output line. Because we use a single static buffer for our return value, they have to either break their output into several calls or allocate their own arrays and use find_unique_abbrev_r(). Intead, let's mimic sha1_to_hex() and use a ring of several buffers, so that the return value stays valid through multiple calls. This shortens some of the callers, and makes it harder to for them to make a silly mistake. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* | prepare the builtins for a libified merge_recursive()Johannes Schindelin2016-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, callers of merge_trees() or merge_recursive() expected that code to die() with an error message. This used to be okay because we called those commands from scripts, and had a chance to print out a message in case the command failed fatally (read: with exit code 128). As scripting incurs its own set of problems (portability, speed, idiosyncrasies of different shells, limited data structures leading to inefficient code), we are converting more and more of these scripts into builtins, using library functions directly. We already tried to use merge_recursive() directly in the builtin git-am, for example. Unfortunately, we had to roll it back temporarily because some of the code in merge-recursive.c still deemed it okay to call die(), when the builtin am code really wanted to print out a useful advice after the merge failed fatally. In the next commits, we want to fix that. The code touched by this commit expected merge_trees() to die() with some useful message when there is an error condition, but merge_trees() is going to be improved by converting all die() calls to return error() instead (i.e. return value -1 after printing out the message as before), so that the caller can react more flexibly. This is a step to prepare for the version of merge_trees() that no longer dies, even if we just imitate the previous behavior by calling exit(128): this is what callers of e.g. `git merge` have come to expect. Note that the callers of the sequencer (revert and cherry-pick) already fail fast even for the return value -1; The only difference is that they now get a chance to say "<command> failed". A caller of merge_trees() might want handle error messages themselves (or even suppress them). As this patch is already complex enough, we leave that change for a later patch.

* Merge branch 'en/merge-trivial-fix'Junio C Hamano2016-04-25
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When "git merge" notices that the merge can be resolved purely at the tree level (without having to merge blobs) and the resulting tree happens to already exist in the object store, it forgot to update the index, which lead to an inconsistent state for later operations. * en/merge-trivial-fix: builtin/merge.c: fix a bug with trivial merges t7605: add a testcase demonstrating a bug with trivial merges
| * builtin/merge.c: fix a bug with trivial mergesElijah Newren2016-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If read_tree_trivial() succeeds and produces a tree that is already in the object store, then the index is not written to disk, leaving it out-of-sync with both HEAD and the working tree. In order to write the index back out to disk after a merge, write_index_locked() needs to be called. For most merge strategies, this is done from try_merge_strategy(). For fast forward updates, this is done from checkout_fast_forward(). When trivial merges work, the call to write_index_locked() is buried a little deeper: merge_trivial() -> write_tree_trivial() -> write_cache_as_tree() -> write_index_as_tree() -> write_locked_index() However, it is only called when !cache_tree_fully_valid(), which is how this bug is triggered. But that also shows why this bug doesn't affect any other merge strategies or cases. Add a direct call to write_index_locked() from merge_trivial() to fix this issue. Since the indirect call to write_locked_index() was conditional on cache_tree_fully_valid(), it won't be written twice.

|\ \ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "git merge" used to allow merging two branches that have no common base by default, which led to a brand new history of an existing project created and then get pulled by an unsuspecting maintainer, which allowed an unnecessary parallel history merged into the existing project.

Worse, if somebody creates an independent history by starting from a tarball of an established project and sends a pull request to the original project, "git merge" however happily creates such a merge without any sign of something unusual is happening. Teach "git merge" to refuse to create such a merge by default, unless the user passes a new "--allow-unrelated-histories" option to tell it that the user is aware that two unrelated projects are merged. Because such a "two project merge" is a rare event, a configuration option to always allow such a merge is not added. We could add the same option to "git pull" and have it passed through to underlying "git merge". I do not have a fundamental opposition against such a feature, but this commit does not do so and instead leaves it as low-hanging fruit for others, because such a "two project merge" would be done after fetching the other project into some location in the working tree of an existing project and making sure how well they fit together, it is sufficient to allow a local merge without such an option pass-through from "git pull" to "git merge". Many tests that are updated by this patch does the pass-through manually by turning: git pull something into its equivalent: git fetch something && git merge --allow-unrelated-histories FETCH_HEAD If somebody is inclined to add such an option, updated tests in this change need to be adjusted back to: git pull --allow-unrelated-histories something Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Let's convert them to sha1_to_hex_r(), and likewise for some calls to find_unique_abbrev().

* | memoize common git-path "constant" filesJeff King2015-08-10
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two drawbacks: 1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc. 2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it correctly at least once), but many of these constant strings appear throughout the code. This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize" these strings, which are essentially globals for the lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for subsequent calls. cache.h provides a helper macro for defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few common ones for global use. Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of the stored values), it will be much easier to have the complete list. Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual declarations. We could do something clever with the macros (e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't that many, and it's probably better to stay away from too-magical macros. Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of generating these with a script, we could get much fancier. E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz". But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the function's definition.

| * remote.c: drop "remote" pointer from "struct branch"Jeff King2015-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we create each branch struct, we fill in the "remote_name" field from the config, and then fill in the actual "remote" field (with a "struct remote") based on that name. However, it turns out that nobody really cares about the latter field. The only two sites that access it at all are: 1. git-merge, which uses it to notice when the branch does not have a remote defined. But we can easily replace this with looking at remote_name instead. 2. remote.c itself, when setting up the @{upstream} merge config. But we don't need to save the "remote" in the "struct branch" for that; we can just look it up for the duration of the operation. So there is no need to have both fields; they are redundant with each other (the struct remote contains the name, or you can look up the struct from the name). It would be nice to simplify this, especially as we are going to add matching pushremote config in a future patch (and it would be nice to keep them consistent). So which one do we keep and which one do we get rid of? If we had a lot of callers accessing the struct, it would be more efficient to keep it (since you have to do a lookup to go from the name to the struct, but not vice versa). But we don't have a lot of callers; we have exactly one, so efficiency doesn't matter. We can decide this based on simplicity and readability. And the meaning of the struct value is somewhat unclear. Is it always the remote matching remote_name? If remote_name is NULL (i.e., no per-branch config), does the struct fall back to the "origin" remote, or is it also NULL? These questions will get even more tricky with pushremotes, whose fallback behavior is more complicated. So let's just store the name, which pretty clearly represents the branch.*.remote config. Any lookup or fallback behavior can then be implemented in helper functions. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| * | merge: deprecate 'git merge <message> HEAD <commit>' syntaxJunio C Hamano2015-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had this in "git merge" manual for eternity: 'git merge' <msg> HEAD <commit>... [This] syntax (<msg> `HEAD` <commit>...) is supported for historical reasons. Do not use it from the command line or in new scripts. It is the same as `git merge -m <msg> <commit>...`. With the update to "git merge" to make it understand what is recorded in FETCH_HEAD directly, including Octopus merge cases, we now can rewrite the use of this syntax in "git pull" with a simple "git merge FETCH_HEAD". Also there are quite a few fallouts in the test scripts, and it turns out that "git cvsimport" also uses this old syntax to record a merge. Judging from this result, I would not be surprised if dropping the support of the old syntax broke scripts people have written and been relying on for the past ten years. But at least we can start the deprecation process by throwing a warning message when the syntax is used. With luck, we might be able to drop the support in a few years.

| * | merge: handle FETCH_HEAD internallyJunio C Hamano2015-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The collect_parents() function now is responsible for 1. parsing the commits given on the command line into a list of commits to be merged; 2. filtering these parents into independent ones; and 3. optionally calling fmt_merge_msg() via prepare_merge_message() to prepare an auto-generated merge log message, using fake contents that FETCH_HEAD would have had if these commits were fetched from the current repository with "git pull . $args..." Make "git merge FETCH_HEAD" to be the same as the traditional git merge "$(git fmt-merge-msg <.git/FETCH_HEAD)" $commits invocation of the command in "git pull", where $commits are the ones that appear in FETCH_HEAD that are not marked as not-for-merge, by making it do a bit more, specifically: - noticing "FETCH_HEAD" is the only "commit" on the command line and picking the commits that are not marked as not-for-merge as the list of commits to be merged (substitute for step #1 above); - letting the resulting list fed to step #2 above; - doing the step #3 above, using the contents of the FETCH_HEAD instead of fake contents crafted from the list of commits parsed in the step #1 above. Note that this changes the semantics. "git merge FETCH_HEAD" has always behaved as if the first commit in the FETCH_HEAD file were directly specified on the command line, creating a two-way merge whose auto-generated merge log said "merge commit xyz". With this change, if the previous fetch was to grab multiple branches (e.g. "git fetch $there topic-a topic-b"), the new world order is to create an octopus, behaving as if "git pull $there topic-a topic-b" were run. This is a deliberate change to make that happen, and can be seen in the changes to t3033 tests. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to pass the list of parents to fmt_merge_msg(), cmd_merge() uses this strbuf to create something that look like FETCH_HEAD that describes commits that are being merged. This is necessary only when we are creating the merge commit message ourselves, but was done unconditionally. Move the variable and the logic to populate it to confine them in a block that needs them. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The latter does two separate things: - Parse the list of commits on the command line, and formulate the list of commits to be merged (including the current HEAD); - Compute the list of parents to be recorded in the resulting merge commit. Split the latter into a separate helper function, so that we can later supply the list commits to be merged from a different source (namely, FETCH_HEAD).

| * | merge: clarify collect_parents() logicJunio C Hamano2015-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clarify this small function in three ways. - The function initially collects all commits to be merged into a commit_list "remoteheads"; the "remotes" pointer always points at the tail of this list (either the remoteheads variable itself, or the ->next slot of the element at the end of the list) to help elongate the list by repeated calls to commit_list_insert(). Because the new element appended by commit_list_insert() will always have its ->next slot NULLed out, there is no need for us to assign NULL to *remotes to terminate the list at the end. - The variable "head_subsumed" always confused me every time I read this code. What is happening here is that we inspect what the caller told us to merge (including the current HEAD) and come up with the list of parents to be recorded for the resulting merge commit, omitting commits that are ancestor of other commits. This filtering may remove the current HEAD from the resulting parent list---and we signal that fact with this variable, so that we can later record it as the first parent when "--no-ff" is in effect. - The "parents" list is created for this function by reduce_heads() and was not deallocated after its use, even though the loop control was written in such a way to allow us to do so by taking the "next" element in a separate variable so that it can be used in the next-step part of the loop control.
