* Merge branch 'mm/add-u-A-sans-pathspec'Junio C Hamano2013-02-041-3/+4
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Forbid "git add -u" and "git add -A" without pathspec run from a subdirectory, to train people to type "." (or ":/") to make the choice of default does not matter. * mm/add-u-A-sans-pathspec: add: warn when -u or -A is used without pathspec
| * add: warn when -u or -A is used without pathspecMatthieu Moy2013-01-281-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most Git commands that can be used with or without pathspec operate tree-wide by default, the pathspec being used to restrict their scope. A few exceptions are: 'git grep', 'git clean', 'git add -u' and 'git add -A'. When run in a subdirectory without pathspec, they operate only on paths in the current directory. The inconsistency of 'git add -u' and 'git add -A' is particularly problematic since other 'git add' subcommands (namely 'git add -p' and 'git add -e') are tree-wide by default. It also means that "git add -u && git commit" will record a state that is different from what is recorded with "git commit -a". Flipping the default now is unacceptable, so let's start training users to type 'git add -u|-A :/' or 'git add -u|-A .' explicitly, to prepare for the next steps: * forbid 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec (like 'git add' without option) * much later, maybe, re-allow 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec, that will add all tracked and modified files, or all files, tree-wide. A nice side effect of this patch is that it makes the :/ magic pathspec easier to discover for users. When the command is called from the root of the tree, there is no ambiguity and no need to change the behavior, hence no need to warn.

We should explain that the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is involved in such a case. If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be merged. In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work as a suggestion most of the time. And if the object at the tip is not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent damage. As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved. In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from there and integrate before pushing again. Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages appropriately. [jc: with help by Peff on message details] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Many tracking system recognise a token of #<bugid> form, for example. The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end users. They have a choice between - Don't do it. Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add. Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g. $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

Specifically, there is no way to make new git-cvsimport that supports cvsps 3.x and have a seamless transition for existing users since cvsps 3.x needs a time from which to continue importing and git-cvsimport does not save the time of the last import or import into a specific namespace so there is no safe way to calculate the time of the last import.

But it's hard to remember. Any other numbers larger than the longest commit chain in the repository would also do, but some guessing may be involved. Make easy-to-remember --unshallow an alias for --depth=2147483647. Make upload-pack recognize this special number as infinite depth. The effect is essentially the same as before, except that upload-pack is more efficient because it does not have to traverse to the bottom anymore. The chance of a user actually wanting exactly 2147483647 commits depth, not infinite, on a repository with a history that long, is probably too small to consider. The client can learn to add or subtract one commit to avoid the special treatment when that actually happens. (*) This is the largest positive number a 32-bit signed integer can contain. JGit and older C Git store depth as "int" so both are OK with this number. Dulwich does not support shallow clone.

Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms the resolution of the timestamps may differ. Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index. This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).

The hook is run with two arguments specifying the name and location of the destination repository. Information about what is to be pushed is provided by sending lines of the following form to the hook's standard input: <local ref> SP <local sha1> SP <remote ref> SP <remote sha1> LF If the hook exits with a non-zero status, the push will be aborted. This will allow the script to determine if the push is acceptable based on the target repository and branch(es), the commits which are to be pushed, and even the source branches in some cases.

For example dir->exclude_list[EXC_FILE] would typically contain patterns from .git/info/exclude and core.excludesfile, and dir->exclude_list[EXC_DIRS] could contain patterns from multiple per-directory .gitignore files during directory traversal (i.e. when dir->exclude_stack was more than one item deep). We split these composite exclude_lists up into three groups of exclude_lists (EXC_CMDL / EXC_DIRS / EXC_FILE as before), so that each exclude_list now contains patterns from a single source. This will allow us to cleanly track the origin of each pattern simply by adding a src field to struct exclude_list, rather than to struct exclude, which would make memory management of the source string tricky in the EXC_DIRS case where its contents are dynamically generated. Similarly, by moving the filebuf member from struct exclude_stack to struct exclude_list, it allows us to track and subsequently free memory buffers allocated during the parsing of all exclude files, rather than only tracking buffers allocated for files in the EXC_DIRS group.

It takes an argument, which is currently either something that starts with "refs/", or if not, "refs/heads/p4" is prepended. Putting it in heads seems like a bad default; these should go in remotes/p4/ in most situations. Make that the new default, and be more liberal in the form of the branch name.

Users who don't want to use the default have to pass this option on every commit since there's no way to configure it. This commit introduces a new config option "commit.cleanup" which can be used to change the default of the "cleanup" option in "git commit".
