* Enable "git rerere" by the config variable rerere.enabledJohannes Schindelin2007-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier, "git rerere" was enabled by creating the directory .git/rr-cache. That is definitely not in line with most other features, which are enabled by a config variable. So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set to "false" explicitely, do not activate rerere, even if .git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable rerere temporarily. If "rerere.enabled" is not set at all, fall back to detection of the directory .git/rr-cache.

* | A new merge stragety 'subtree'.Junio C Hamano2007-04-07
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This merge strategy largely piggy-backs on git-merge-recursive. When merging trees A and B, if B corresponds to a subtree of A, B is first adjusted to match the tree structure of A, instead of reading the trees at the same level. This adjustment is also done to the common ancestor tree. If you are pulling updates from git-gui repository into git.git repository, the root level of the former corresponds to git-gui/ subdirectory of the latter. The tree object of git-gui's toplevel is wrapped in a fake tree object, whose sole entry has name 'git-gui' and records object name of the true tree, before being used by the 3-way merge code. If you are merging the other way, only the git-gui/ subtree of git.git is extracted and merged into git-gui's toplevel. The detection of corresponding subtree is done by comparing the pathnames and types in the toplevel of the tree. Heuristics galore! That's the git way ;-).

| * Improve merge performance by avoiding in-index merges.Shawn O. Pearce2007-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the early days of Git we performed a 3-way read-tree based merge before attempting any specific merge strategy, as our core merge strategies of merge-one-file and merge-recursive were slower script based programs which took far longer to execute. This was a good performance optimization in the past, as most merges were able to be handled strictly by `read-tree -m -u`. However now that merge-recursive is a C based program which performs a full 3-way read-tree before it starts running we need to pay the cost of the 3-way read-tree twice if we have to do any sort of file level merging. This slows down some classes of simple merges which `read-tree -m -u` could not handle but which merge-recursive does automatically. For a really trivial merge which can be handled entirely by `read-tree -m -u`, skipping the read-tree and just going directly into merge-recursive saves on average 50 ms on my PowerPC G4 system. May sound odd, but it does appear to be true. In a really simple merge which needs to use merge-recursive to handle a file that was modified on both branches, skipping the read-tree in git-merge saves on average almost 100 ms (on the same PowerPC G4) as we avoid doing some work twice. We only avoid `read-tree -m -u` if the only strategy to use is merge-recursive, as not all merge strategies perform as well as merge-recursive does. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* | Allow whole-tree operations to be started from a subdirectoryJunio C Hamano2007-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates five commands (merge, pull, rebase, revert and cherry-pick) so that they can be started from a subdirectory. This may not actually be what we want to do. These commands are inherently whole-tree operations, and an inexperienced user may mistakenly expect a "git pull" from a subdirectory would merge only the subdirectory the command started from.

* | Disallow working directory commands in a bare repository.Shawn O. Pearce2007-01-10
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the user tries to run a porcelainish command which requires a working directory in a bare repository they may get unexpected results which are difficult to predict and may differ from command to command. Instead we should detect that the current repository is a bare repository and refuse to run the command there, as there is no working directory associated with it.

* fail pull/merge early in the middle of conflicted mergeJunio C Hamano2007-01-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After a pull that results in a conflicted merge, a new user often tries another "git pull" in desperation. When the index is unmerged, merge backends correctly bail out without touching either index nor the working tree, so this does not make the wound any worse. The user will however see several lines of messsages during this process, such as "filename: needs merge", "you need to resolve your current index first", "Merging...", and "Entry ... would be overwritten by merge. Cannot merge.". They are unnecessarily alarming, and cause useful conflict messages from the first pull scroll off the top of the terminal. This changes pull and merge to run "git-ls-files -u" upfront and stop them much earlier than we currently do. Old timers may know better and would not to try pulling again before cleaning things up; this change adds extra overhead that is unnecessary for them. But this would be worth paying for to save new people from needless confusion. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Honor pull.{twohead,octopus} in git-merge.Shawn O. Pearce2006-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | If git-merge is invoked without a strategy argument it is probably being run as a porcelain-ish command directly and is not being run from within git-pull.

* Use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable instead.Shawn O. Pearce2006-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Junio rightly pointed out that the --reflog-action parameter was starting to get out of control, as most porcelain code needed to hand it to other porcelain and plumbing alike to ensure the reflog contained the top-level user action and not the lower-level actions it invoked. At Junio's suggestion we are introducing the new set_reflog_action function to all shell scripts, allowing them to declare early on what their default reflog name should be, but this setting only takes effect if the caller has not already set the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable.

* Display 'theirs' branch name when possible in merge.Shawn O. Pearce2006-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Displaying the SHA1 of 'their' branch (the branch being merged into the current branch) is not nearly as friendly as just displaying the name of that branch, especially if that branch is already local to this repository. git-merge now sets the environment variable 'GITHEAD_%(sha1)=%(name)' for each argument it gets passed, making the actual input name that resolved to the commit '%(sha1)' easily available to the invoked merge strategy. git-merge-recursive makes use of these environment variables when they are available by using '%(name)' whenever it outputs the commit identification rather than '%(sha1)'. This is most obvious in the conflict hunks created by xdl_merge: $ git mege sideb~1 <<<<<<< HEAD:INSTALL Good! ======= Oops. >>>>>>> sideb~1:INSTALL [jc: adjusted a test script and a minor constness glitch.] Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Inside restorestate in merge (which is rarely exercised codepath, where more than one strategies are attempted), resetting to the original state uses "reset --hard" -- this can be squelched entirely.

This hopefully would make "git merge" usable as the first class UI instead of being a mere backend for "git pull". Most notably, $commit above can be any committish, so you can say for example: git merge js/shortlog~2 to merge early part of a topic branch without merging the rest of it.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is just an update for people being interested. Alex and me were busy with that project for a few days now. While it has progressed nicely, there are quite a couple TODOs in merge-recursive.c, just search for "TODO". For impatient people: yes, it passes all the tests, and yes, according to the evil test Alex did, it is faster than the Python script. But no, it is not yet finished. Biggest points are: - there are still three external calls - in the end, it should not be necessary to write the index more than once (just before exiting) - a lot of things can be refactored to make the code easier and shorter BTW we cannot just plug in git-merge-tree yet, because git-merge-tree does not handle renames at all. This patch is meant for testing, and as such, - it compile the program to git-merge-recur - it adjusts the scripts and tests to use git-merge-recur instead of git-merge-recursive - it provides "TEST", a script to execute the tests regarding -recursive - it inlines the changes to read-cache.c (read_cache_from(), discard_cache() and refresh_cache_entry()) Brought to you by Alex Riesen and Dscho Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some people tend to do many little commits on a topic branch, recording all the trials and errors, and when the topic is reasonably cooked well, would want to record the net effect of the series as one commit on top of the mainline, removing the cruft from the history. The topic is then abandoned or forked off again from that point at the mainline. The barebone porcelainish that comes with core git tools does not officially support such operation, but you can fake it by using "git pull --no-merge" when such a topic branch is not a strict superset of the mainline, like this: git checkout mainline git pull --no-commit . that-topic-branch : fix conflicts if any rm -f .git/MERGE_HEAD git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message' git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged This however does not work when the topic branch is a fast forward of the mainline, because normal "git pull" will never create a merge commit in such a case, and there is nothing special --no-commit could do to begin with. This patch introduces a new option, --squash, to support such a workflow officially in both fast-forward case and true merge case. The user-level operation would be the same in both cases: git checkout mainline git pull --squash . that-topic-branch : fix conflicts if any -- naturally, there would be : no conflict if fast forward. git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message' git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged When the current branch is already up-to-date with respect to the other branch, there truly is nothing to do, so the new option does not have any effect.
