* Make networking commands to work from a subdirectory.Junio C Hamano2005-11-28
| | | | | | | | | These are whole-tree operations and there is not much point making them operable from within a subdirectory, but it is easy to do so, and using setup_git_directory() upfront helps git:// proxy specification picked up from the correct place.

* git-fetch: fail if specified refspec does not match remote.Junio C Hamano2005-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'git-fetch remote no-such-ref' succeeded without fetching any ref from the remote. Detect such case and report an error. Note that this makes 'git-fetch remote master master' to fail, because the remote branch 'master' matches the first refspec, and the second refspec is left unmatched, which is detected by the error checking logic. This is somewhat unintuitive, but giving the same refspec more than once to git-fetch is useless in any case so it should not be much of a problem. I'd accept a patch to change this if somebody cares enough, though. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Be careful when dereferencing tags.Junio C Hamano2005-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | One caller of deref_tag() was not careful enough to make sure what deref_tag() returned was not NULL (i.e. we found a tag object that points at an object we do not have). Fix it, and warn about refs that point at such an incomplete tag where needed. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-fetch-pack: Support multi_ack extensionJohannes Schindelin2005-10-28
| | | | | | | The client side support for multi_ack. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Make maximal use of the remote refsJohannes Schindelin2005-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | When git-fetch-pack gets the remote refs, it does not need to filter them right away, but it can see which refs are common (taking advantage of the patch which makes git-fetch-pack not use git-rev-list). This means that we ask get_remote_heads() to return all remote refs, including the funny refs, and filtering them with a separate function later.

* Subject: [PATCH] git-fetch-pack: Do not use git-rev-listJohannes Schindelin2005-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code used to call git-rev-list to enumerate the local revisions. A disadvantage of that method was that git-rev-list, lacking a control apart from the command line, would happily enumerate ancestors of acknowledged common commits, which was just taking unnecessary bandwidth. Therefore, do not use git-rev-list on the fetching side, but rather construct the list on the go. Send the revisions starting from the local heads, ignoring the revisions known to be common.

* Revert recent fetch-pack/upload-pack updates.Junio C Hamano2005-10-25
| | | | | | | Let's have it simmer a bit longer in the proposed updates branch and shake the problems out. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-fetch-pack: Implement client part of the multi_ack extensionJohannes Schindelin2005-10-24
| | | | | | | | | | This patch concludes the series, which makes git-fetch-pack/git-upload-pack negotiate a potentially better set of common revs. It should make a difference when fetching from a repository with a few branches.

* Be more careful tangling object chains while marking commits.Junio C Hamano2005-10-19
| | | | | | | | Also Johannes noticed we use parse_object to look up if we know that object already -- we should just ask the in-core object registry with lookup_object() for that. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Do not feed rev-list an invalid SHA1 expression.Junio C Hamano2005-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | The previous round to optimize fetch-pack has a small bug that feeds SHA1^ ("parent commit") before making sure SHA1 is actually a commit (or a tag that eventually dereferences to a commit). Also it did not help culling the known-to-be-common parents if the common one was a merge. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Do not send "want" lines for complete objectsJohannes Schindelin2005-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was all good and well to check if all remote refs are complete (local refs or descendants thereof), but we can just as easily use the same information to avoid sending "want" lines just for the complete objects in the case that not all remote refs are complete (or their names differ). Also, git-fetch-pack does not have to ask for descendants of remote refs which are complete (for now, git-rev-list is told to ignore only the first parent). That change also eliminates a code path where a popen()ed handle was not pclose()ed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Do not ask for objects known to be complete.Junio C Hamano2005-10-19
| | | | | | | | On top of optimization by Linus not to ask refs that already match, we can walk our refs and not issue "want" for things that are known to be reachable from them. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-fetch-pack: avoid unnecessary zero packingLinus Torvalds2005-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If everything is up-to-date locally, we don't need to even ask for a pack-file from the remote, or try to unpack it. This is especially important for tags - since the pack-file common commit logic is based purely on the commit history, it will never be able to find a common tag, and will thus always end up re-fetching them. Especially notably, if the tag points to a non-commit (eg a tagged tree), the pack-file would be unnecessarily big, just because it cannot any most recent common point between commits for pruning. Short-circuiting the case where we already have that reference means that we avoid a lot of these in the common case. NOTE! This only matches remote ref names against the same local name, which works well for tags, but is not as generic as it could be. If we ever need to, we could match against _any_ local ref (if we have it, we have it), but this "match against same name" is simpler and more efficient, and covers the common case. Renaming of refs is common for branch heads, but since those are always commits, the pack-file generation can optimize that case. In some cases we might still end up fetching pack-files unnecessarily, but this at least avoids the re-fetching of tags over and over if you use a regular git fetch --tags ... which was the main reason behind the change.

* Ignore funny refname sent from remoteJunio C Hamano2005-10-15
| | | | | | | | | This allows the remote side (most notably, upload-pack) to show additional information without affecting the downloader. Peek-remote does not ignore them -- this is to make it useful for Pasky's automatic tag following. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* fetch-pack: start multi-head pulling.Junio C Hamano2005-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | This is a beginning of resurrecting the multi-head pulling support for git-fetch-pack command. The git-fetch-script wrapper still only knows about fetching a single head, without renaming, so it is not very useful unless you directly call git-fetch-pack itself yet. It also fixes a longstanding obsolete description of how the command discovers the list of local commits.
* Merge three separate "fetch refs" functionsLinus Torvalds2005-07-16
| | | | | It really just boils down to one "get_remote_heads()" function, and a common "struct ref" structure definition.
* [PATCH] Documentation: clone/fetch/upload.Junio C Hamano2005-07-14

* Get rid of nasty utf-8 characters in printoutLinus Torvalds2005-07-13
| | | | | | Oh, well.. FC4 has UTF-8 as the default environment, and I applaud that, but then it sometimes results in these characters that aren't actually visible as a problem.
* git-fetch-pack: close output fd after dup'ing the inputLinus Torvalds2005-07-13
| | | | | With the socket case, the input and output fd's might end up being the same, so we want to dup the other before we close either of them.
* Move "get_ack()" to common git_connect functionsLinus Torvalds2005-07-05
| | | | git-clone-pack will want it too. Soon.
* Remove multi-head support from fetch-packLinus Torvalds2005-07-05
| | | | | It was a misguided attempt to mix fetching and cloning. I'll make a separate clone thing.
* Add "git_path()" and "head_ref()" helper functions.Linus Torvalds2005-07-05
| | | | | | | "git_path()" returns a static pathname pointer into the git directory using a printf-like format specifier. "head_ref()" works like "for_each_ref()", except for just the HEAD.
* Make git-fetch-pack actually do all the unpacking etc.Linus Torvalds2005-07-04
| | | | | | | | | | It returns the result SHA1 on stdout, so you can do remote=$(git-fetch-pack host:dir branchname) and it will unpack the objects and "remote" will be the SHA1 name of the branch on the other side. You can then save that off, or merge it, or whatever.
* Make git-fetch-pack and git-upload-pack negotiate needs/haves fullyLinus Torvalds2005-07-04
| | | | Now the only piece missing is actually generating the pack-file.
* Commit first cut at "git-fetch-pack"Linus Torvalds2005-07-04
It's meant to be used by "git fetch" for the local and ssh case. It doesn't actually do the fetching now, but it does discover the common commit point.
