* Split up builtin commands into separate files from git.cLinus Torvalds2006-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | Right now it split it into "builtin-log.c" for log-related commands ("log", "show" and "whatchanged"), and "builtin-help.c" for the informational commands (usage printing and "help" and "version"). This just makes things easier to read, I find. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git log: don't do merge diffs by defaultLinus Torvalds2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I personally prefer "ignore_merges" to be on by default, because quite often the merge diff is distracting and not interesting. That's true both with "-p" and with "--stat" output. If you want output from merges, you can trivially use the "-m", "-c" or "--cc" flags to tell that you're interested in merges, which also tells the diff generator what kind of diff to do (for --stat, any of the three will do, of course, but they differ for plain patches or for --patch-with-stat). This trivial patch just removes the two lines that tells "git log" not to ignore merges. It will still show the commit log message, of course, due to the "always_show_header" part.

Ok, this was nastier than expected, just because the dependencies between the different log-printing stuff were absolutely _everywhere_, but here's a patch that does exactly that. The patch is not very easy to read, and the "--patch-with-stat" thing is still broken (it does not call the "show_log()" thing properly for merges). That's not a new bug. In the new world order it _should_ do something like if (rev->logopt) show_log(rev, rev->logopt, "---\n"); but it doesn't. I haven't looked at the --with-stat logic, so I left it alone. That said, this patch removes more lines than it adds, and in particular, the "cmd_log_wc()" loop is now a very clean: while ((commit = get_revision(rev)) != NULL) { log_tree_commit(rev, commit); free(commit->buffer); commit->buffer = NULL; } so it doesn't get much prettier than this. All the complexity is entirely hidden in log-tree.c, and any code that needs to flush the log literally just needs to do the "if (rev->logopt) show_log(...)" incantation. I had to make the combined_diff() logic take a "struct rev_info" instead of just a "struct diff_options", but that part is pretty clean. This does change "git whatchanged" from using "diff-tree" as the commit descriptor to "commit", and I changed one of the tests to reflect that new reality. Otherwise everything still passes, and my other tests look fine too. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| * Support "git cmd --help" syntaxLinus Torvalds2006-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "--help" argument is special, in that it is (along with "--version") in that is taken by the "git" program itself rather than the sub-command, and thus we've had the syntax "git --help cmd". However, as anybody who has ever used CVS or some similar devil-spawn program, it's confusing as h*ll when options before the sub-command act differently from options after the sub-command, so this quick hack just makes it acceptable to do "git cmd --help" instead, and get the exact same result. It may be hacky, but it's simple and does the trick. Of course, this does not help if you use one of the non-builtin commands without using the "git" helper. Ie you won't be getting a man-page just because you do "git-rev-list --help". Don't expect us to be quite _that_ helpful.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I missed that "git-diff-* --stat" spits out three-dash separator on its own without being asked. Remove it. When we output commit log followed by diff, perhaps --patch-with-stat, for downstream consumer, we _would_ want the three-dash between the message and the diff material, but that logic belongs to the caller, not diff generator.

* | Tentative built-in "git show"Linus Torvalds2006-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This uses the "--no-walk" flag that I never actually implemented (but I'm sure I mentioned it) to make "git show" be essentially the same thing as "git whatchanged --no-walk". It just refuses to add more interesting parents to the revision walking history, so you don't actually get any history, you just get the commit you asked for. I was going to add "--no-walk" as a real argument flag to git-rev-list too, but I'm not sure anybody actually needs it. Although it might be useful for porcelain, so I left the door open.

* | Split init_revisions() out of setup_revisions()Junio C Hamano2006-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Merging all three option parsers related to whatchanged is unarguably the right thing, but the fallout was too big to scare me away. Let's try it once again, but once step at time. This splits out init_revisions() call from setup_revisions(), so that the callers can set different defaults to match the traditional benaviour. The rev-list command is still broken in a big way, which is the topic of next step. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* | Common option parsing for "git log --diff" and friendsLinus Torvalds2006-04-14
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This basically does a few things that are sadly somewhat interdependent, and nontrivial to split out - get rid of "struct log_tree_opt" The fields in "log_tree_opt" are moved into "struct rev_info", and all users of log_tree_opt are changed to use the rev_info struct instead. - add the parsing for the log_tree_opt arguments to "setup_revision()" - make setup_revision set a flag (revs->diff) if the diff-related arguments were used. This allows "git log" to decide whether it wants to show diffs or not. - make setup_revision() also initialize the diffopt part of rev_info (which we had from before, but we just didn't initialize it) - make setup_revision() do all the "finishing touches" on it all (it will do the proper flag combination logic, and call "diff_setup_done()") Now, that was the easy and straightforward part. The slightly more involved part is that some of the programs that want to use the new-and-improved rev_info parsing don't actually want _commits_, they may want tree'ish arguments instead. That meant that I had to change setup_revision() to parse the arguments not into the "revs->commits" list, but into the "revs->pending_objects" list. Then, when we do "prepare_revision_walk()", we walk that list, and create the sorted commit list from there. This actually cleaned some stuff up, but it's the less obvious part of the patch, and re-organized the "revision.c" logic somewhat. It actually paves the way for splitting argument parsing _entirely_ out of "revision.c", since now the argument parsing really is totally independent of the commit walking: that didn't use to be true, since there was lots of overlap with get_commit_reference() handling etc, now the _only_ overlap is the shared (and trivial) "add_pending_object()" thing. However, I didn't do that file split, just because I wanted the diff itself to be smaller, and show the actual changes more clearly. If this gets accepted, I'll do further cleanups then - that includes the file split, but also using the new infrastructure to do a nicer "git diff" etc. Even in this form, it actually ends up removing more lines than it adds. It's nice to note how simple and straightforward this makes the built-in "git log" command, even though it continues to support all the diff flags too. It doesn't get much simpler that this. I think this is worth merging soonish, because it does allow for future cleanup and even more sharing of code. However, it obviously touches "revision.c", which is subtle. I've tested that it passes all the tests we have, and it passes my "looks sane" detector, but somebody else should also give it a good look-over.

* Use less memory in "git log"Linus Torvalds2006-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This trivially avoids keeping the commit message data around after we don't need it any more, avoiding a continually growing "git log" memory footprint. It's not a huge deal, but it's somewhat noticeable. For the current kernel tree, doing a full "git log" I got - before: /usr/bin/time git log > /dev/null 0.81user 0.02system 0:00.84elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+8851minor)pagefaults 0swaps - after: /usr/bin/time git log > /dev/null 0.79user 0.03system 0:00.83elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+5039minor)pagefaults 0swaps ie the touched pages dropped from 8851 to 5039. For the historic kernel archive, the numbers are 18357->11037 minor page faults. We could/should in theory free the commits themselves, but that's really a lot harder, since during revision traversal we may hit the same commit twice through different children having it as a parent, even after we've shown it once (when that happens, we'll silently ignore it next time, but we still need the "struct commit" to know). And as the commit message data is clearly the biggest part of the commit, this is the really easy 60% solution.

The previous commit already handles time-based limiters (--since, --until and friends). The remaining things that rev-list based git-log happens to do are not useful in a pure log-viewing purposes, and not ported: * --bisect (obviously). * --header. I am actually in favor of doing the NUL terminated record format, but rev-list based one always passed --pretty, which defeated this option. Maybe next round. * --parents.

* Teach the "git" command to handle some commands internallyLinus Torvalds2006-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is another patch in the "prepare to do more in C" series, where the git wrapper command is taught about the notion of handling some functionality internally. Right now, the only internal commands are "version" and "help", but the point being that we can now easily extend it to handle some of the trivial scripts internally. Things like "git log" and "git diff" wouldn't need separate external scripts any more. This also implies that to support the old "git-log" and "git-diff" syntax, the "git" wrapper now automatically looks at the name it was executed as, and if it is "git-xxxx", it will assume that it is to internally do what "git xxxx" would do. In other words, you can (once you implement an internal command) soft- or hard-link that command to the "git" wrapper command, and it will do the right thing, whether you use the "git xxxx" or the "git-xxxx" format. There's one other change: the search order for external programs is modified slightly, so that the first entry remains GIT_EXEC_DIR, but the second entry is the same directory as the git wrapper itself was executed out of - if we can figure it out from argv[0], of course.

* Exec git programs without using PATH.Michal Ostrowski2006-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH. - git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands. - exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in the following directories: 1. --exec-path (as used by "git") 2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable. 3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)). - git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to invoke "git-foo" commands. Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

* C implementation of the 'git' program, take two.Andreas Ericsson2005-11-15
This patch provides a C implementation of the 'git' program and introduces support for putting the git-* commands in a directory of their own. It also saves some time on executing those commands in a tight loop and it prints the currently available git commands in a nicely formatted list. The location of the GIT_EXEC_PATH (name discussion's closed, thank gods) can be obtained by running git --exec-path which will hopefully give porcelainistas ample time to adapt their heavy-duty loops to call the core programs directly and thus save the extra fork() / execve() overhead, although that's not really necessary any more. The --exec-path value is prepended to $PATH, so the git-* programs should Just Work without ever requiring any changes to how they call other programs in the suite. Some timing values for 10000 invocations of git-var >&/dev/null: git.sh: 24.194s git.c: 9.044s git-var: 7.377s The git-<tab><tab> behaviour can, along with the someday-to-be-deprecated git-<command> form of invocation, be indefinitely retained by adding the following line to one's .bash_profile or equivalent: PATH=$PATH:$(git --exec-path) Experimental libraries can be used by either setting the environment variable GIT_EXEC_PATH, or by using git --exec-path=/some/experimental/exec-path Relative paths are properly grok'ed as exec-path values.
