* The Makefile.PL will now find .pm files itself.Michael G. Schwern2012-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | It is no longer necessary to manually add new .pm files to the Makefile.PL. This makes it easier to add modules. It is still necessary to add them to the Makefile, but that extra work should be removed at a future date.

* Don't lose Error.pm if $@ gets clobbered.Michael G. Schwern2012-07-27
| | | | | | | | | In older Perls, sometimes $@ can become unset between the eval and checking $@. Its safer to check the eval directly. Signed-off-by: Michael G Schwern <schwern@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

* perl/Makefile.PL: warn about duplicate module list in perl/MakefileJonathan Nieder2012-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | Adding or removing a module requires modifying both files to support builds with and without MakeMaker. Add a comment to remind patch authors and reviewers at the crucial moment. Longer term, it would be nicer to maintain a single list, perhaps in a separate file used by both build systems.

* git-svn: use YAML format for mergeinfo cache when possibleJonathan Nieder2012-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since v1.7.0-rc2~11 (git-svn: persistent memoization, 2010-01-30), git-svn has maintained some private per-repository caches in .git/svn/.caches to avoid refetching and recalculating some mergeinfo-related information with every "git svn fetch". These caches use the 'nstore' format from the perl core module Storable, which can be read and written quickly and was designed for transfer over the wire (the 'n' stands for 'network'). This format is endianness-independent and independent of floating-point representation. Unfortunately the format is *not* independent of the perl version --- new perl versions will write files that very old perl cannot read. Worse, the format is not independent of the size of a perl integer. So if you toggle perl's use64bitint compile-time option, then using 'git svn fetch' on your old repositories produces errors like this: Byte order is not compatible at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into ../../lib/auto/Storable/_retrieve.al) line 380, at /usr/share/perl/5.12/Memoize/Storable.pm line 21 That is, upgrading perl to a version that uses use64bitint for the first time makes git-svn suddenly refuse to fetch in existing repositories. Removing .git/svn/.caches lets git-svn recover. It's time to switch to a platform independent serializer backend with better compatibility guarantees. This patch uses YAML::Any. Other choices were considered: - thawing data from Data::Dumper involves "eval". Doing that without creating a security risk is fussy. - the JSON API works on scalars in memory and doesn't provide a standard way to serialize straight to disk. YAML::Any is reasonably fast and has a pleasant API. In most backends, LoadFile() reads the entire file into a scalar anyway and converts it as a second step, but having an interface that allows the deserialization to happen on the fly without a temporary is still a comfort. YAML::Any is not a core perl module, so we take care to use it when and only when it is available. Installations without that module should fall back to using Storable with all its quirks, keeping their cache files in .git/svn/.caches/*.db Installations with YAML peacefully coexist by keeping a separate set of cache files in .git/svn/.caches/*.yaml. In most cases, switching between is a one-time thing, so it doesn't seem worth the complication to migrate existing caches. The upshot: after this patch, as long as YAML::Any is installed you can move your git repository between machines with different perl installations and "git svn fetch" will work fine. If you do not have YAML::Any, the behavior is unchanged (and in particular does not get any worse).

* git-svn: make Git::SVN::RA a separate fileJonathan Nieder2012-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This slices off another 600 or so lines from the frighteningly long git-svn.perl script. The Git::SVN::Ra interface is similar enough to SVN::Ra that it is probably safe to ignore most of its implementation on first reading. (Documenting or moving functions that do not fit that pattern is left as an exercise to the interested reader.) [ew: rebased and fixed conflict against commit c26ddce86d7215b4d9687bd4c6b5dd43a3fabf31 (git-svn: platform auth providers are working only on 1.6.15 or newer)] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

* git-svn: move Git::SVN::Prompt into its own fileJonathan Nieder2012-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | git-svn.perl is very long (around 6500 lines) and although it is nicely split into modules, some new readers do not even notice --- it is too distracting to see all this functionality collected in a single file. Splitting it into multiple files would make it easier for people to read individual modules straight through and to experiment with components separately. Let's start with Git::SVN::Prompt. For simplicity, we install this as a module in the standard search path, just like the existing Git and Git::I18N modules. In the process, add a manpage explaining its interface and that it is not likely to be useful for other projects to avoid confusion.

* i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettextÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason2011-12-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the skeleton implementation of i18n in Git to one that can show localized strings to users for our C, Shell and Perl programs using either GNU libintl or the Solaris gettext implementation. This new internationalization support is enabled by default. If gettext isn't available, or if Git is compiled with NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease, Git falls back on its current behavior of showing interface messages in English. When using the autoconf script we'll auto-detect if the gettext libraries are installed and act appropriately. This change is somewhat large because as well as adding a C, Shell and Perl i18n interface we're adding a lot of tests for them, and for those tests to work we need a skeleton PO file to actually test translations. A minimal Icelandic translation is included for this purpose. Icelandic includes multi-byte characters which makes it easy to test various edge cases, and it's a language I happen to understand. The rest of the commit message goes into detail about various sub-parts of this commit. = Installation Gettext .mo files will be installed and looked for in the standard $(prefix)/share/locale path. GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR can also be set to override that, but that's only intended to be used to test Git itself. = Perl Perl code that's to be localized should use the new Git::I18n module. It imports a __ function into the caller's package by default. Instead of using the high level Locale::TextDomain interface I've opted to use the low-level (equivalent to the C interface) Locale::Messages module, which Locale::TextDomain itself uses. Locale::TextDomain does a lot of redundant work we don't need, and some of it would potentially introduce bugs. It tries to set the $TEXTDOMAIN based on package of the caller, and has its own hardcoded paths where it'll search for messages. I found it easier just to completely avoid it rather than try to circumvent its behavior. In any case, this is an issue wholly internal Git::I18N. Its guts can be changed later if that's deemed necessary. See <AANLkTilYD_NyIZMyj9dHtVk-ylVBfvyxpCC7982LWnVd@mail.gmail.com> for a further elaboration on this topic. = Shell Shell code that's to be localized should use the git-sh-i18n library. It's basically just a wrapper for the system's gettext.sh. If gettext.sh isn't available we'll fall back on gettext(1) if it's available. The latter is available without the former on Solaris, which has its own non-GNU gettext implementation. We also need to emulate eval_gettext() there. If neither are present we'll use a dumb printf(1) fall-through wrapper. = About libcharset.h and langinfo.h We use libcharset to query the character set of the current locale if it's available. I.e. we'll use it instead of nl_langinfo if HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is set. The GNU gettext manual recommends using langinfo.h's nl_langinfo(CODESET) to acquire the current character set, but on systems that have libcharset.h's locale_charset() using the latter is either saner, or the only option on those systems. GNU and Solaris have a nl_langinfo(CODESET), FreeBSD can use either, but MinGW and some others need to use libcharset.h's locale_charset() instead. =Credits This patch is based on work by Jeff Epler <jepler@unpythonic.net> who did the initial Makefile / C work, and a lot of comments from the Git mailing list, including Jonathan Nieder, Jakub Narebski, Johannes Sixt, Erik Faye-Lund, Peter Krefting, Junio C Hamano, Thomas Rast and others.

* Install man3 manpages to $PREFIX/share/man/man3 even for site installsmartin f. krafft2007-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | MakeMaker supports three installation modes: perl, site, and vendor. The first and third install manpages to $PREFIX/share/man, only site installs to $PREFIX/man.

* 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.

* Add Error.pm to the distributionPetr Baudis2006-07-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have been thinking about how to do the error reporting the best way and after scraping various overcomplicated concepts, I have decided that by far the most elegant way is to throw Error exceptions; the closest sane alternative is to catch the dies in Git.pm by enclosing the calls in eval{}s and that's really _quite_ ugly. The only "small" trouble is that Error.pm turns out sadly not to be part of the standard distribution, and installation from CPAN is a bother, especially if you can't install it system-wide. But since it is very small, I've decided to just bundle it. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* 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.
