* | ident: die on bogus date formatJeff King2010-12-20
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the user gives "git commit --date=foobar", we silently ignore the --date flag. We should note the error. This patch puts the fix at the lowest level of fmt_ident, which means it also handles GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=foobar, as well. There are two down-sides to this approach: 1. Technically this breaks somebody doing something like "git commit --date=now", which happened to work because bogus data is the same as "now". Though we do explicitly handle the empty string, so anybody passing an empty variable through the environment will still work. If the error is too much, perhaps it can be downgraded to a warning? 2. The error checking happens _after_ the commit message is written, which can be annoying to the user. We can put explicit checks closer to the beginning of git-commit, but that feels a little hack-ish; suddenly git-commit has to care about how fmt_ident works. Maybe we could simply call fmt_ident earlier? Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | The environment variable EMAIL has been honored since 28a94f8 (Fall back to $EMAIL for missing GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL, 2007-04-28) as the end-user's wish to use the address as the identity.

* ident.c: check explicit identity for name and email separatelyJunio C Hamano2010-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | bb1ae3f (commit: Show committer if automatic, 2008-05-04) added a logic to check both name and email were given explicitly by the end user, but it assumed that fmt_ident() is never called before git_default_user_config() is called, which was fragile. The former calls setup_ident() and fills the "default" name and email, so the check in the config parser would have mistakenly said both are given even if only user.name was provided. Make the logic more robust by keeping track of name and email separately. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Acked-by: Santi Béjar <santi@agolina.net>

* Add backslash to list of 'crud' characters in real nameLinus Torvalds2008-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We remove crud characters at the beginning and end of real-names so that when we see email addresses like From: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> we drop the quotes around the name when we parse that and split it up into name and email. However, the list of crud characters was basically just a random list of common things that are found around names, and it didn't contain the backslash character that some insane scripts seem to use when quoting things. So now the kernel has a number of authors listed like Author: \"Rafael J. Wysocki\ <rjw@sisk.pl> because the author name had started out as From: \"Rafael J. Wysocki\" <rjw@sisk.pl> and the only "crud" character we noticed and removed was the final double-quote at the end. We should probably do better quote removal from names anyway, but this is the minimal obvious patch.

* Re-fix "builtin-commit: fix --signoff"Junio C Hamano2007-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An earlier fix to the said commit was incomplete; it mixed up the meaning of the flag parameter passed to the internal fmt_ident() function, so this corrects it. git_author_info() and git_committer_info() can be told to issue a warning when no usable user information is found, and optionally can be told to error out. Operations that actually use the information to record a new commit or a tag will still error out, but the caller to leave reflog record will just silently use bogus user information. Not warning on misconfigured user information while writing a reflog entry is somewhat debatable, but it is probably nicer to the users to silently let it pass, because the only information you are losing is who checked out the branch. * git_author_info() and git_committer_info() used to take 1 (positive int) to error out with a warning on misconfiguration; this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME. * These functions used to take -1 (negative int) to warn but continue; this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_WARN_ON_NO_NAME. * fmt_ident() function implements the above error reporting behaviour common to git_author_info() and git_committer_info(). A symbolic constant IDENT_NO_DATE can be or'ed in to the flag parameter to make it return only the "Name <email@address.xz>". * fmt_name() is a thin wrapper around fmt_ident() that always passes IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME and IDENT_NO_DATE.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Back when only handful commands that created commit and tag were the only users of committer identity information, it made sense to explicitly call setup_ident() to pre-fill the default value from the gecos information.

* Allow non-developer to clone, checkout and fetch more easily.Junio C Hamano2007-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code that uses committer_info() in reflog can barf and die whenever it is asked to update a ref. And I do not think calling ignore_missing_committer_name() upfront like recent receive-pack did in the aplication is a reasonable workaround. What the patch does. - git_committer_info() takes one parameter. It used to be "if this is true, then die() if the name is not available due to bad GECOS, otherwise issue a warning once but leave the name empty". The reason was because we wanted to prevent bad commits from being made by git-commit-tree (and its callers). The value 0 is only used by "git var -l". Now it takes -1, 0 or 1. When set to -1, it does not complain but uses the pw->pw_name when name is not available. Existing 0 and 1 values mean the same thing as they used to mean before. 0 means issue warnings and leave it empty, 1 means barf and die. - ignore_missing_committer_name() and its existing caller (receive-pack, to set the reflog) have been removed. - git-format-patch, to come up with the phoney message ID when asked to thread, now passes -1 to git_committer_info(). This codepath uses only the e-mail part, ignoring the name. It used to barf and die. The other call in the same program when asked to add signed-off-by line based on committer identity still passes 1 to make sure it barfs instead of adding a bogus s-o-b line. - log_ref_write in refs.c, to come up with the name to record who initiated the ref update in the reflog, passes -1. It used to barf and die. The last change means that git-update-ref, git-branch, and commit walker backends can now be used in a repository with reflog by somebody who does not have the user identity required to make a commit. They all used to barf and die. I've run tests and all of them seem to pass, and also tried "git clone" as a user whose GECOS is empty -- git clone works again now (it was broken when reflog was enabled by default). But this definitely needs extra sets of eyeballs. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* simplify inclusion of system header files.Junio C Hamano2006-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include system header files. (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and xdelta code are exempt from the following rules; (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h, builtin.h, pkt-line.h); (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h" need not be included in individual C source files. (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem specific header files (e.g. expat.h). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Default GIT_COMMITTER_NAME to login name in recieve-pack.Shawn O. Pearce2006-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If GIT_COMMITTER_NAME is not available in receive-pack but reflogs are enabled we would normally die out with an error message asking the user to correct their environment settings. Now that reflogs are enabled by default in (what we guessed to be) non-bare Git repositories this may cause problems for some users who don't have their full name in the gecos field and who don't have access to the remote system to correct the problem. So rather than die()'ing out in receive-pack when we try to log a ref change and have no committer name we default to the username, as obtained from the host's password database.

* Use git config file for committer name and email infoLinus Torvalds2005-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if they exist as the default name and email when committing. This means that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead. The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and email information non-static and renames it appropriately. And it moves the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having to link in zlib and libcrypt. In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user config values to the new base. It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
