* Add "--branches", "--tags" and "--remotes" options to git-rev-parse.Sean2006-05-14
| | | | | | | | | "git branch" uses "rev-parse --all" and becomes much too slow when there are many tags (it scans all refs). Use the new "--branches" option of rev-parse to speed things up. Signed-off-by: Sean Estabrooks <seanlkml@sympatico.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Fix filename verification when in a subdirectoryLinus Torvalds2006-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are in a subdirectory of a git archive, we need to take the prefix of that subdirectory into accoung when we verify filename arguments. Noted by Matthias Lederhofer This also uses the improved error reporting for all the other git commands that use the revision parsing interfaces, not just git-rev-parse. Also, it makes the error reporting for mixed filenames and argument flags clearer (you cannot put flags after the start of the pathname list).

* rev-parse: better error message for ambiguous argumentsPaul Mackerras2006-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, if git-rev-parse encounters an argument that is neither a recognizable revision name nor the name of an existing file or directory, and it hasn't encountered a "--" argument, it prints an error message saying "No such file or directory". This can be confusing for users, including users of programs such as gitk that use git-rev-parse, who may then think that they can't ask about the history of files that no longer exist. This makes it print a better error message, one that points out the ambiguity and tells the user what to do to fix it. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* revision arguments: ..B means HEAD..B, just like A.. means A..HEADJunio C Hamano2006-03-29
| | | | | | | | For consistency reasons, we should probably allow that to be written as just "..branch", the same way we can write "branch.." to mean "everything in HEAD but not in "branch". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Fix error handling for nonexistent namesLinus Torvalds2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When passing in a pathname pattern without the "--" separator on the command line, we verify that the pathnames in question exist. However, there were two bugs in that verification: - git-rev-parse would only check the first pathname, and silently allow any invalid subsequent pathname, whether it existed or not (which defeats the purpose of the check, and is also inconsistent with what git-rev-list actually does) - git-rev-list (and "git log" etc) would check each filename, but if the check failed, it would print the error using the first one, i.e.: [torvalds@g5 git]$ git log Makefile bad-file fatal: 'Makefile': No such file or directory instead of saying that it's 'bad-file' that doesn't exist. This fixes both bugs. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Rip out merge-order and make "git log <paths>..." work again.Linus Torvalds2006-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Well, assuming breaking --merge-order is fine, here's a patch (on top of the other ones) that makes git log <filename> actually work, as far as I can tell. I didn't add the logic for --before/--after flags, but that should be pretty trivial, and is independent of this anyway. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* rev-list --objects-edgeJunio C Hamano2006-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This new flag is similar to --objects, but causes rev-list to show list of "uninteresting" commits that appear on the edge commit prefixed with '-'. Downstream pack-objects will be changed to take these as hints to use the trees and blobs contained with them as base objects of resulting pack, producing an incomplete (not self-contained) pack. Such a pack cannot be used in .git/objects/pack (it is prevented by git-index-pack erroring out if it is fed to git-fetch-pack -k or git-clone-pack), but would be useful when transferring only small changes to huge blobs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The usage of rev-parse to serve as a flag/option parser for git-whatchanged and other commands have serious limitation that the flags cannot be something that is supported by rev-parse itself, and it cannot worked around easily.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The latest update to avoid misspelled revs interfered when we were not interested in parsing non flags or arguments not meant for rev-list. This makes these two forms work again: git whatchanged -- git-fetch-script We could enable "!def" in the part this change touches to make the above work without '--', but then it would cause misspelled v2.6.14..v2.6.16 to be given to diff-tree and defeats the whole point of the previous fix.

* Make git-rev-list and git-rev-parse argument parsing stricterLinus Torvalds2006-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you pass it a filename without the "--" marker to separate it from revision information and flags, we now require that the file in question actually exists. This makes mis-typed revision information not be silently just considered a strange filename. With the "--" marker, you can continue to pass in filenames that do not actually exists - useful for querying what happened to a file that you no longer have in the repository. [ All scripts should use the "--" format regardless, to make things unambiguous.

* git's rev-parse.c function show_datestring presumes gnu dateLinus Torvalds2005-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ok. This is the insane patch to do this. It really isn't very careful, and the reason I call it "approxidate()" will become obvious when you look at the code. It is very liberal in what it accepts, to the point where sometimes the results may not make a whole lot of sense. It accepts "last week" as a date string, by virtue of "last" parsing as the number 1, and it totally ignoring superfluous fluff like "ago", so "last week" ends up being exactly the same thing as "1 week ago". Fine so far. It has strange side effects: "last december" will actually parse as "Dec 1", which actually _does_ turn out right, because it will then notice that it's not December yet, so it will decide that you must be talking about a date last year. So it actually gets it right, but it's kind of for the "wrong" reasons. It also accepts the numbers 1..10 in string format ("one" .. "ten"), so you can do "ten weeks ago" or "ten hours ago" and it will do the right thing. But it will do some really strange thigns too: the string "this will last forever", will not recognize anyting but "last", which is recognized as "1", which since it doesn't understand anything else it will think is the day of the month. So if you do gitk --since="this will last forever" the date will actually parse as the first day of the current month. And it will parse the string "now" as "now", but only because it doesn't understand it at all, and it makes everything relative to "now". Similarly, it doesn't actually parse the "ago" or "from now", so "2 weeks ago" is exactly the same as "2 weeks from now". It's the current date minus 14 days. But hey, it's probably better (and certainly faster) than depending on GNU date. So now you can portably do things like gitk --since="two weeks and three days ago" git log --since="July 5" git-whatchanged --since="10 hours ago" git log --since="last october" and it will actually do exactly what you thought it would do (I think). It will count 17 days backwards, and it will do so even if you don't have GNU date installed. (I don't do "last monday" or similar yet, but I can extend it to that too if people want). It was kind of fun trying to write code that uses such totally relaxed "understanding" of dates yet tries to get it right for the trivial cases. The result should be mixed with a few strange preprocessor tricks, and be submitted for the IOCCC ;) Feel free to try it out, and see how many strange dates it gets right. Or wrong. And if you find some interesting (and valid - not "interesting" as in "strange", but "interesting" as in "I'd be interested in actually doing this) thing it gets wrong - usually by not understanding it and silently just doing some strange things - please holler. Now, as usual this certainly hasn't been getting a lot of testing. But my code always works, no? Linus Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Update git-rev-list options list in rev-parse.Junio C Hamano2005-10-30

* Be more careful about reference parsingLinus Torvalds2005-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This does two things: - we don't allow "." and ".." as components of a refname. Thus get_sha1() will not accept "./refname" as being the same as "refname" any more. - git-rev-parse stops doing revision translation after seeing a pathname, to match the brhaviour of all the tools (once we see a pathname, everything else will also be parsed as a pathname). Basically, if you did git log * and "gitk" was somewhere in the "*", we don't want to replace the filename "gitk" with the SHA1 of the branch with the same name. Of course, if there is any change of ambiguity, you should always use "--" to make it explicit what are filenames and what are revisions, but this makes the normal cases sane. The refname rule also means that instead of the "--", you can do the same thing we're used to doing with filenames that start with a slash: use "./filename" instead, and now it's a filename, not an option (and not a revision). So "git log ./*.c" is now actually a perfectly valid thing to do, even if the first C-file might have the same name as a branch. Trivial test: git-rev-parse gitk ./gitk gitk should output something like 9843c3074dfbf57117565f6b7c93e3e6812857ee ./gitk gitk where the "./gitk" isn't seen as a revision, and the second "gitk" is a filename simply because we've seen filenames already, and thus stopped doing revision parsing.

* git-rev-list: make --dense the default (and introduce "--sparse")Linus Torvalds2005-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This actually does three things: - make "--dense" the default for git-rev-list. Since dense is a no-op if no filenames are given, this doesn't actually change any historical behaviour, but it's logically the right default (if we want to prune on filenames, do it fully. The sparse "merge-only" thing may be useful, but it's not what you'd normally expect) - make "git-rev-parse" show the default revision control before it shows any pathnames. This was a real bug, but nobody would ever have noticed, because the default thing tends to only make sense for git-rev-list, and git-rev-list didn't use to take pathnames. - it changes "git-rev-list" to match the other commands that take a mix of revisions and filenames - it no longer requires the "--" before filenames (although you still need to do it if a filename could be confused with a revision name, eg "gitk" in the git archive) This all just makes for much more pleasant and obvous usage. Just doing a gitk t/ does the obvious thing: it will show the history as it concerns the "t/" subdirectory.

| | | | | | | | | | | If rev-parse output includes both flags and files, we should pass on any "--" marker we see, so that the end result can also tell the difference between a flag and a filename that begins with '-'.

* Avoid ambiguity between refname and filename in rev-parseLinus Torvalds2005-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | Although it really is very convenient, not requiring explicit '-r' option to name revs is sometimes ambiguous. Usually we allow a "--" to say where a filename starts when it _is_ ambiguous. However, we fail that at times. In particular, git-rev-parse fails it.

* upload-pack: Do not choke on too many heads request.Junio C Hamano2005-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cloning from a repository with more than 256 refs (heads and tags included) will choke, because upload-pack has a built-in limit of feeding not more than MAX_NEEDS (currently 256) heads to underlying git-rev-list. This is a problem when cloning a repository with many tags, like http://www.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/linux.git, which has 290+ tags. This commit introduces a new flag, --all, to git-rev-list, to include all refs in the repository. Updated upload-pack detects requests that ask more than MAX_NEEDS refs, and sends everything back instead. We may probably want to tweak the definitions of MAX_NEEDS and MAX_HAS, but that is a separate topic. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Teach "git-rev-parse" about date-based cut-offsLinus Torvalds2005-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the options "--since=date" and "--before=date" to git-rev-parse, which knows how to translate them into seconds since the epoch for git-rev-list. With this, you can do git log --since="2 weeks ago" or git log --until=yesterday to show the commits that have happened in the last two weeks or are older than 24 hours, respectively. The flags "--after=" and "--before" are synonyms for --since and --until, and you can combine them, so git log --after="Aug 5" --before="Aug 10" is a valid (but strange) thing to do.

* Rationalize output selection in rev-parse.Junio C Hamano2005-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier rounds broke 'whatchanged -p'. In attempting to fix this, make two axis of output selection in rev-parse orthogonal: --revs-only tells it not to output things that are not revisions nor flags that rev-list would take. --no-revs tells it not to output things that are revisions or flags that rev-list would take. --flags tells it not to output parameters that do not start with a '-'. --no-flags tells it not to output parameters that starts with a '-'. So for example 'rev-parse --no-revs -p arch/i386' would yield '-p arch/i386', while 'rev-parse --no-revs --flags -p archi/i386' would give just '-p'. Also the meaning of --verify has been made stronger. It now rejects anything but a single valid rev argument. Earlier it passed some flags through without complaining.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | I haven't audited the rev-parse users, but I am having a feeling that many of them would choke when they expect a couple of SHA1 object names and malicious user feeds them "--max-count=6" or somesuch to shoot himself in the foot.

* [PATCH] Help scripts that use git-rev-parse to grok args with SP/TAB/LFJunio C Hamano2005-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The git-rev-parse command uses LF to separate each argument it parses, so its users at least need to set IFS to LF to be able to handle filenames with embedded SPs and TABs. Some commands, however, can take and do expect arguments with embedded LF, notably, "-S" (pickaxe) of diff family, so even this workaround does not work for them. When --sq flag to git-rev-parse is given, instead of showing one argument per line, it outputs arguments quoted for consumption with "eval" by the caller, to remedy this situation. As an example, this patch converts git-whatchanged to use this new feature. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* git-rev-parse: Allow a "zeroth" parent of a commit - the commit itself.Linus Torvalds2005-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This sounds nonsensical, but it's useful to make sure that the result is a commit. For example, "git-rev-parse v2.6.12" will return the _tag_ object for v2.6.12, but "git-rev-parse v2.6.12^0" will return the _commit_ object associated with that tag (and v2.6.12^1 will return the first parent). Also, since the "parent" code will actually parse the commit, this, together with the "--verify" flag, will verify not only that the result is a single SHA1, but will also have verified that it's a proper commit that we can see.
* Add "--flags" and "--no-flags" arguments to git-rev-parseLinus Torvalds2005-07-06
| | | | | The scripts that use this (notably "git diff") will want to split up flags and file arguments.
* git-rev-parse: support show sha1 names for pack entriesLinus Torvalds2005-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | This is actually subtly wrong. If a short match is found in the object directory, but would _also_ match another SHA1 ID in a pack (or it shows in one pack but not another), we'll never have done the pack lookup, and we think it's unique. I can't find it in myself to care. You really want to use enough of a SHA1 that there is never any ambiguity.
* Make git-rev-parse support cogito-style "short hex names"Linus Torvalds2005-07-03
| | | | | Currently only for unpacked objects, but the infrastructure is there to do it for packed objects too.
* Add "--all" flag to rev-parse that shows all refsLinus Torvalds2005-07-03
| | | | | And make git-rev-list just silently ignore non-commit refs if we're not asking for all objects.
* git-rev-parse: add "--not" flag to mark subsequent heads negativeLinus Torvalds2005-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | If you have two lists of heads, and you want to see ones reachable from list $a but not from list $b, just do git-rev-list $(git-rev-parse $a --not $b) which is useful for both bisecting (where "b" would be the list of known good revisions, and "a" would be the latest found bad head) and for just seeing what the difference between two sets of heads are if you want to generate a pack-file for the difference.
* git-rev-parse: re-organize and be more carefulLinus Torvalds2005-06-24
| | | | | | | Output default revisions as their hex SHA1 names to be consistent. Add "--verify" flag that verifies that we output a single ref and not more (and disables ref arguments).
* Change parent syntax to "xyz^" instead of "xyz.p"Linus Torvalds2005-06-20
| | | | | | The ".pN" thing might be a common ending of a tag, and in contrast, ^ already is a special character for revisions so use that instead.
* Make rev-parse understand "extended sha1" syntaxLinus Torvalds2005-06-20
| | | | | | | | | You can say "HEAD.p" for the "parent of HEAD". It nests, so HEAD.p2.p means parent of second parent of HEAD (which obviously depends on HEAD being a merge).
* git-rev-parse: flush "default" head when encountering something unexpectedLinus Torvalds2005-06-20
| | | | | The unexpected thing is likely a pathname, we need the default for that too.
* git-rev-parse: parse ".." before simple SHA1'sLinus Torvalds2005-06-20
| | | | | This fixes "<hexsha1>..*", since get_sha1() will happily ignore any garbage at the end and thus we never got to the ".." check before.
