| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic for determining the upstream ref of a branch is somewhat complex to perform in a shell script. This patch provides a plumbing mechanism for scripts to access the C logic used internally by git-status, git-branch, etc. For example: $ git for-each-ref \ --format='%(refname:short) %(upstream:short)' \ refs/heads/ master origin/master Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| * | | git remote update: Fallback to remote if group does not existFinn Arne Gangstad2009-04-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, git remote update <remote> would fail unless there was a remote group configured with the same name as the remote. git remote update will now fall back to using the remote if no matching group can be found. This enables "git remote update -p <remote>..." to fetch and prune one or more remotes, for example.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the --prune (or -p) option, git remote update will also prune all the remotes that it fetches. Previously, you had to do a manual git remote prune <remote> for each of the remotes you wanted to prune, and this could be tedious with many remotes. A single command will now update a set of remotes, and remove all stale branches: git remote update -p [group] Signed-off-by: Finn Arne Gangstad <finnag@pvv.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

For proper operation, every command that causes a fetch (explicit or implied) must include a matching --ignore-paths option. This patch adds a persistent svn-remote.$repo_id.ignore-paths config by promoting Fetcher::is_path_ignored to a member function and initializing $self->{ignore_regex} in Fetcher::new. Command line --ignore-paths is still recognized and acts in addition to the config value. Signed-off-by: Ben Jackson <ben@ben.com> Acked-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

In the latter case this is especially evil, as it may cause repository corruption when objects reachable only through such a ref are deleted by "git prune". It should be reasonably safe to deny use of ".lock" as a ref suffix. In prior versions of Git such branches would be "phantom branches"; you can create it, but you can't see it in "git branch" output. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Some people and foreign SCM converter may have named their branches as frotz@24 and we still want to keep supporting it. However, "git branch frotz@{24}" is a disaster. It cannot even checked out because "git checkout frotz@{24}" will interpret it as "detach the HEAD at twenty-fourth reflog entry of the frotz branch". (2) a refname that ends with a dot. We already reject a path component that begins with a dot, primarily to avoid ambiguous range interpretation. If we allowed ".B" as a valid ref, it is unclear if "A...B" means "in dot-B but not in A" or "either in A or B but not in both". But for this to be complete, we need also to forbid "A." to avoid "in B but not in A-dot". This was not a problem in the original range notation, but we should have added this restriction when three-dot notation was introduced. Unlike "no dot at the beginning of any path component" rule, this rule does not have to be "no dot at the end of any path component", because you cannot abbreviate the tail end away, similar to you can say "dot-B" to mean "refs/heads/dot-B". For these reasons, it is not likely people created branches with these names on purpose, but we have allowed such names to be used for quite some time, and it is possible that people created such branches by mistake or by accident. To help people with branches with such unfortunate names to recover, we still allow "branch -d 'bad.'" to delete such branches, and also allow "branch -m bad. good" to rename them.
