* When exec() fails include the failing command in the error messageAsk Bjørn Hansen2007-11-07
| | | | | | | git-svn occasionally fails with no details as to what went wrong - this should help debug those situations. Signed-off-by: Ask Bjørn Hansen <ask@develooper.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Fix git-remote for ActiveState PerlAlex Riesen2007-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | For reason unknown a package in ActiveState Perl 5.8.7 must implement READLINE method differently for scalar and array context. The code tested to work for more sane and recent version of perl (5.8.8 shipped with Ubuntu), so maybe it was always a requirement.

* Git.pm: config_boolean() -> config_bool()Petr Baudis2007-05-10
| | | | | | | | | This patch renames config_boolean() to config_bool() for consistency with the commandline interface and because it is shorter but still obvious. ;-) It also changes the return value from some obscure string to real Perl boolean, allowing for clean user code.

* Force Activestate Perl to tie git command pipe handle to a handle classAlex Riesen2007-01-22
| | | | | | | | | Otherwise it tries to tie it to a scalar and complains about missing method. Dunno why, may be ActiveState brokenness again. Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com> Acked-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* use 'init' instead of 'init-db' for shipped docs and toolsNicolas Pitre2007-01-12
| | | | | | | | | While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead.

* Git.pm: Kill Git.xs for nowPetr Baudis2006-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes Git.xs from the repository for the time being. This should hopefully enable Git.pm to finally make its way to master. Git.xs is not going away forever. When the Git libification makes some progress, it will hopefully return (but most likely as an optional component, due to the portability woes) since the performance boosts are really important for applications like Gitweb or Cogito. It needs to go away now since it is not really reliable in case you use it for several repositories in the scope of a single process, and that is not possible to fix without some either very ugly or very intrusive core changes. Rest in peace. (While you can.) Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Git.pm: Introduce fast get_object() methodPetr Baudis2006-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Direct .xs routine. Note that it does not work 100% correctly when you juggle multiple repository objects, but it is not that bad either. The trouble is that we might reuse packs information for another Git project; that is not an issue since Git depends on uniqueness of SHA1 ids so if we have found the object somewhere else, it is nevertheless going to be the same object. It merely makes object existence detection through this method unreliable; it is duly noted in the documentation. At least that's how I see it, I hope I didn't overlook any other potential problem. I tested it for memory leaks and it appears to be doing ok. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Make it possible to set up libgit directly (instead of from the environment)Petr Baudis2006-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a setup_git() function which is essentialy a (public) backend for setup_git_env() which lets anyone specify custom sources for the various paths instead of environment variables. Since the repositories may get switched on the fly, this also updates code that caches paths to invalidate them properly; I hope neither of those is a sweet spot. It is used by Git.xs' xs__call_gate() to set up per-repository data for libgit's consumption. No code actually takes advantage of it yet but get_object() will in the next patches.

* Git.pm: Remove PerlIO usage from Git.xsPetr Baudis2006-07-02
| | | | | | | | | PerlIO_*() is not portable before 5.7.3, according to ppport.h, and it's more clear what is going on when we do it in the Perl part of the Git module anyway. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Git.pm: Swap hash_object() parametersPetr Baudis2006-07-02
| | | | | | | | | I'm about to introduce get_object() and it will be better for consistency if the object type always goes first. And writing 'blob' there explicitly is not much bother. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Git.pm: Try to support ActiveState output pipePetr Baudis2006-07-02
| | | | | | | | | | | The code is stolen from git-annotate and completely untested since I don't have access to any Microsoft operating system now. Someone ActiveState-savvy should look at it anyway and try to implement the input pipe as well, if it is possible at all; also, the implementation seems to be horribly whitespace-unsafe.

* Git.pm: Add support for subdirectories inside of working copiesPetr Baudis2006-07-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for subdirectories inside of working copies; you can specify them in the constructor either as the Directory option (it will just get autodetected using rev-parse) or explicitly using the WorkingSubdir option. This makes Git->repository() do the exact same path setup and repository lookup as the Git porcelain does. This patch also introduces repo_path(), wc_path() and wc_subdir() accessor methods and wc_chdir() mutator. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Git.pm: Implement options for the command interfacePetr Baudis2006-07-02
| | | | | | | | | | This gives the user a way to easily pass options to the command routines. Currently only the STDERR option is implemented and can be used to adjust what shall be done with error output of the called command (most usefully, it can be used to silence it).

* Git.pm: Enhance the command_pipe() mechanismPetr Baudis2006-07-02

* Git.pm: Handle failed commands' outputPetr Baudis2006-07-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently if an external command returns error exit code, a generic exception is thrown and there is no chance for the caller to retrieve the command's output. This patch introduces a Git::Error::Command exception class which is thrown in this case and contains both the error code and the captured command output. You can use the new git_cmd_try statement to fatally catch the exception while producing a user-friendly message. It also adds command_close_pipe() for easier checking of exit status of a command we have just a pipe handle of. It has partial forward dependency on the next patch, but basically only in the area of documentation. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Git.pm: Better error handlingPetr Baudis2006-07-02
| | | | | | | | | | | So far, errors just killed the whole program and in case of an error inside of libgit it would be totally uncatchable. This patch makes Git.pm throw standard Perl exceptions instead. In the future we might subclass Error to Git::Error or something but for now Error::Simple is more than enough.

* Git.pm: Call external commands using execv_git_cmd()Petr Baudis2006-07-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of explicitly using the git wrapper to call external commands, use the execv_git_cmd() function which will directly call whatever needs to be called. GitBin option becomes useless so drop it. This actually means the exec_path() thing I planned to use worthless internally, but Jakub wants it in anyway and I don't mind, so...

* Introduce Git.pm (v4)Petr Baudis2006-07-02
This patch introduces a very basic and barebone Git.pm module with a sketch of how the generic interface would look like; most functions are missing, but this should give some good base. I will continue expanding it. Most desirable now is more careful error reporting, generic_in() for feeding input to Git commands and the repository() constructor doing some poking with git-rev-parse to get the git directory and subdirectory prefix. Those three are basically the prerequisities for converting git-mv. I will send them as follow-ups to this patch. Currently Git.pm just wraps up exec()s of Git commands, but even that is not trivial to get right and various Git perl scripts do it in various inconsistent ways. In addition to Git.pm, there is now also Git.xs which provides barebone Git.xs for directly interfacing with libgit.a, and as an example providing the hash_object() function using libgit. This adds the Git module, integrates it to the build system and as an example converts the git-fmt-merge-msg.perl script to it (the result is not very impressive since its advantage is not quite apparent in this one, but I just picked up the simplest Git user around). Compared to v3, only very minor things were fixed in this patch (some whitespaces, a missing export, tiny bug in git-fmt-merge-msg.perl); at first I wanted to post them as a separate patch but since this is still only in pu, I decided that it will be cleaner to just resend the patch. My current working state is available all the time at http://pasky.or.cz/~xpasky/git-perl/Git.pm and an irregularily updated API documentation is at http://pasky.or.cz/~xpasky/git-perl/Git.html Many thanks to Jakub Narebski, Junio and others for their feedback.
