* difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help'Tim Henigan2012-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since bc7a96a (mergetool--lib: Refactor tools into separate files, 2011-08-18), it is possible to add a new diff tool by creating a simple script in the '$(git --exec-path)/mergetools' directory. Updating the difftool help text is still a manual process, and the documentation can easily go out of sync. This commit teaches difftool the '--tool-help' option, which: - Reads the list of valid tools from 'mergetools/*' - Determines which of them are actually installed - Determines which are capable of diffing (i.e. not just a merge tool) - Prints the resulting list for the user Signed-off-by: Tim Henigan <tim.henigan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* difftool: teach difftool to handle directory diffsTim Henigan2012-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When 'difftool' is called to compare a range of commits that modify more than one file, it opens a separate instance of the diff tool for each file that changed. The new '--dir-diff' option copies all the modified files to a temporary location and runs a directory diff on them in a single instance of the diff tool.

* difftool: eliminate setup_environment functionTim Henigan2012-03-23
| | | | | | | | Removing this function shortens the code and makes it easier to read. Now all environment variables are set as part of procedural operation. Signed-off-by: Tim Henigan <tim.henigan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* difftool: stop appending '.exe' to gitTim Henigan2012-03-23
| | | | | | | | The system call to Git works the same whether or not ".exe" is appended to "git". The extra code is not necessary. Signed-off-by: Tim Henigan <tim.henigan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* difftool: remove explicit change of PATHTim Henigan2012-03-23
| | | | | | | | Adding the script directory to PATH is not needed. The script is located at '$(git --exec-path)', which is already on the PATH. Signed-off-by: Tim Henigan <tim.henigan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* difftool: exit(0) when usage is printedTim Henigan2012-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Prior to this commit, the script exited with an error whenever the usage string was printed, regardless of the reason it was done. In cases where usage was printed due to a user request (e.g. '-h' option), the script should exit without error (exit 0). This commit adds an argument to the usage function that allows the exit code to be specified when the function is called.

* difftool: add '--no-gui' optionTim Henigan2012-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit teaches difftool to handle the '--no-gui' option. This option negates the existing '--gui' option. The last setting given on the command line wins. This allows a user to configure "[alias] mdt = difftool --gui", but still have the ability to override the setting without error: $ git mdt --no-gui Signed-off-by: Tim Henigan <tim.henigan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* difftool: parse options using Getopt::LongTim Henigan2012-03-23

* use -h for synopsis and --help for manpage consistentlyClemens Buchacher2011-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | A few scripted Porcelain implementations pretend as if the routine to show their own help messages are triggered upon "git cmd --help", but a command line parser of "git" will hijack such a request and shows the manpage for the cmd subcommand. Leaving the code to handle such input is simply misleading. Signed-off-by: Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* difftool: Fix failure on CygwinRamsay Jones2010-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, test 14 'difftool last flag wins' in t7800 fails. This is caused by git-difftool.perl passing both GIT_DIFFTOOL_NO_PROMPT (='true') and GIT_DIFFTOOL_PROMPT (='true') to the difftool helper script. Despite the appropriate key being deleted from the ENV hash, it seems that once a key has been set in the hash, it gets passed along to the system() call. (ie deleting the key does not do the equivalent of unsetenv()). In order to fix the problem, we keep track of the required prompt state while processing the arguments, and then set the relevant ENV hash key only once at the end.

* perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2010-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2. However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open syntax: sub run_cmd_pipe { my $fh = undef; open($fh, '-|', @_) or die; return <$fh>; } Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1): t2016-checkout-patch.sh t3904-stash-patch.sh t3701-add-interactive.sh t7105-reset-patch.sh t7501-commit.sh t9700-perl-git.sh Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using useful features introduced in the 5.8 release. The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old. All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX Solaris and Tru64 systems.

* difftool: Fix '--gui' when diff.guitool is unconfiguredDavid Aguilar2010-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When diff.guitool is unconfigured and "--gui" is specified git-difftool dies with the following error message: config diff.guitool: command returned error: 1 Catch the error so that the "--gui" flag is a no-op when diff.guitool is unconfigured.

* difftool: Add '-x' and as an alias for '--extcmd'David Aguilar2010-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds '-x' as a shorthand for the '--extcmd' option. Arguments to '--extcmd' can be specified separately, which was not originally possible. This also fixes the brief help text so that it mentions both '-x' and '--extcmd'. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* difftool: Allow specifying unconfigured commands with --extcmdDavid Aguilar2010-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | git-difftool requires difftool.<tool>.cmd configuration even when tools use the standard "$diffcmd $from $to" form. This teaches git-difftool to run these tools in lieu of configuration by allowing the command to be specified on the command line.

* git-difftool: Add '--gui' for selecting a GUI toolDavid Aguilar2010-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Users might prefer to have git-difftool use a different tool when run from a Git GUI. This teaches git-difftool to honor 'diff.guitool' when the '--gui' option is specified. This allows users to configure their preferred command-line diff tool in 'diff.tool' and a GUI diff tool in 'diff.guitool'.

* Wait for git diff to finish in git difftoolAlex Riesen2009-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | In ActivetState Perl, exec does not wait for the started program.

* difftool: add support for a difftool.prompt config variableDavid Aguilar2009-04-07
| | | | | | | | | difftool now supports difftool.prompt so that users do not have to pass --no-prompt or hit enter each time a diff tool is launched.

* difftool: move 'git-difftool' out of contribDavid Aguilar2009-04-07
This prepares 'git-difftool' and its documentation for mainstream use. 'git-difftool-helper' became 'git-difftool--helper' since users should not use it directly.
