* Add to documentation of git-update-index arguments and usage.Chris Shoemaker2005-10-30
| | | | | | | Removed unknown [--version] option. Signed-off-by: Chris Shoemaker <c.shoemaker@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Add usage string to git-update-indexPetr Baudis2005-10-25
| | | | | | | | This patch adds usage string to git-update-index, can be printed by the -h or --help parameter. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* update-index --index-info: adjust for funny-path quoting.Junio C Hamano2005-10-17
| | | | | | | Although the sole current user uses -z to read this, we should be prepared for somebody to feed non-z format to the command. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Improve "git add" again.Junio C Hamano2005-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes it possible to add paths that have funny characters (TAB and LF) in them, and makes adding many paths more efficient in general. New flag "--stdin" to update-index was initially added for different purpose, but it turns out to be a perfect match for feeding "ls-files --others -z" output to improve "git add". It also adds "--verbose" flag to update-index for use with "git add" command. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Use core.filemode.Junio C Hamano2005-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With "[core] filemode = false", you can tell git to ignore differences in the working tree file only in executable bit. * "git-update-index --refresh" does not say "needs update" if index entry and working tree file differs only in executable bit. * "git-update-index" on an existing path takes executable bit from the existing index entry, if the path and index entry are both regular files. * "git-diff-files" and "git-diff-index" without --cached flag pretend the path on the filesystem has the same executable bit as the existing index entry, if the path and index entry are both regular files. If you are on a filesystem with unreliable mode bits, you may need to force the executable bit after registering the path in the index. * "git-update-index --chmod=+x foo" flips the executable bit of the index file entry for path "foo" on. Use "--chmod=-x" to flip it off. Note that --chmod only works in index file and does not look at nor update the working tree. So if you are on a filesystem and do not have working executable bit, you would do: 1. set the appropriate .git/config option; 2. "git-update-index --add new-file.c" 3. "git-ls-files --stage new-file.c" to see if it has the desired mode bits. If not, e.g. to drop executable bit picked up from the filesystem, say "git-update-index --chmod=-x new-file.c".

* Show original and resulting blob object info in diff output.Junio C Hamano2005-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds more cruft to diff --git header to record the blob SHA1 and the mode the patch/diff is intended to be applied against, to help the receiving end fall back on a three-way merge. The new header looks like this: diff --git a/apply.c b/apply.c index 7be5041..8366082 100644 --- a/apply.c +++ b/apply.c @@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ // files that are being modified, but doesn't apply the patch // --stat does just a diffstat, and doesn't actually apply +// --show-index-info shows the old and new index info for... ... Upon receiving such a patch, if the patch did not apply cleanly to the target tree, the recipient can try to find the matching old objects in her object database and create a temporary tree, apply the patch to that temporary tree, and attempt a 3-way merge between the patched temporary tree and the target tree using the original temporary tree as the common ancestor. The patch lifts the code to compute the hash for an on-filesystem object from update-index.c and makes it available to the diff output routine. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Re-instate index file write optimizationLinus Torvalds2005-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | This makes "git-update-index" avoid the new index file write if it didn't make any changes to the index. It still doesn't make things like "git status" be read-only operations in general, but if the index file doesn't need refreshing, it now will at least avoid making unnecessary changes.

* [PATCH] Better error reporting for "git status"Linus Torvalds2005-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of "git status" ignoring (and hiding) potential errors from the "git-update-index" call, make it exit if it fails, and show the error. In order to do this, use the "-q" flag (to ignore not-up-to-date files) and add a new "--unmerged" flag that allows unmerged entries in the index without any errors. This also avoids marking the index "changed" if an entry isn't actually modified, and makes sure that we exit with an understandable error message if the index is corrupt or unreadable. "read_cache()" no longer returns an error for the caller to check. Finally, make die() and usage() exit with recognizable error codes, if we ever want to check the failure reason in scripts.

* update-index: --stdin and -zJunio C Hamano2005-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | The new option --stdin reads list of paths to be updated from the standard input. As usual, -z means the paths are terminated with NUL characters, as opposed to LF without that option. This is useful to use git-diff-files -z and git-ls-files -z when the platform xargs does not support -0 option, and obviously saves one process even when xargs can take -0.

* Diff clean-up.Junio C Hamano2005-09-24
| | | | | | | This is a long overdue clean-up to the code for parsing and passing diff options. It also tightens some constness issues. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Show modified files in git-ls-filesJunio C Hamano2005-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | Add -m/--modified to show files that have been modified wrt. the index. [jc: The original came from Brian Gerst on Sep 1st but it only checked if the paths were cache dirty without actually checking the files were modified. I also added the usage string and a new test.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Fast-path 'update-index --refresh' a bit.Junio C Hamano2005-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If the length in the stat information does not match what is recorded in the index, there is no point rehashing the contents to see if the index entry can be refreshed. We need to be a bit careful. Immediately after read-tree or checkout-index without -u, ce_size is set to zero and does not match the length of the blob that is recorded, and we need to actually look at the contents to see if it has been changed.

* [PATCH] Improve git-update-index error reportingPetr Baudis2005-09-18
| | | | | | | | | This makes git-update-index error reporting much less confusing. The user will know what went wrong with better precision, and will be given a hopefully less confusing advice. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Big tool rename.Junio C Hamano2005-09-07
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
