2008-04-16git-am: cope better with an empty Subject: lineLinus Torvalds1-14/+10
When the Subject: line is empty for whatever reason, git-am was fooled by it and left an empty line at the beginning of the resulting commit log message. This moves the logic around so that we do not keep $SUBJECT in a separate variable. Instead, $dotest/msg-clean, which used to be the log message body extracted from the message and then trailing whitespaces cleansed out, now contains the subject line followed by a blank line at the beginning for normal messages, and we use the first line from the file as the summary line throughout the program.

2008-04-16bisect: squelch "fatal: ref HEAD not a symref" misleading messageChristian Couder1-1/+1
To get the current HEAD when we start bisecting using for example "git bisect start", we first try "git symbolic-ref HEAD" to get a nice name, and if it fails, we fall back to "git rev-parse --verify HEAD". The problem is that when "git symbolic-ref HEAD" fails, it displays "fatal: ref HEAD not a symref", so it looks like "git bisect start" failed and does not accept detached HEAD, even if in fact it worked fine. This patch adds "-q" option to the "git symbolic-ref" call to get rid of the misleading error message.

2008-04-16Clarify documentation of git-cvsserver, particularly in relation to git-shellScott Collins1-11/+17
For SSH clients restricted to git-shell, CVS_SERVER does not have to be specified, because git-shell understands the default value of 'cvs' to mean git-cvsserver'. This makes it totally transparent to CVS users, but the instruction to set up CVS access for people with real shell access does not apply. Previous wording mentioning GIT_AUTHOR, GIT_COMMITTER variables was unclear that we really meant GIT_AUTHOR_(NAME|EMAIL), etc. Note that the .ssh/environment file is a good place to set these, and that the .bashrc is shell-specific. Add a bit of text to differentiate cvs -d (setting CVSROOT) from cvs co -d (setting the name of the newly checked out directory). Removed an extra 'Example:' string.

2008-04-15git clean: Don't automatically remove directories when run within subdirectoryShawn Bohrer2-7/+8
When git clean is run from a subdirectory it should follow the normal policy and only remove directories if they are passed in as a pathspec, or -d is specified. The fix is to send len which could be shorter than ent->len because we have stripped the trailing '/' that read_directory adds. Additionaly match_one() was modified to allow a name[] that is not NUL terminated. This allows us to check if the name matched the pathspec exactly instead of recursively.

2008-04-15git-submodule - possibly use branch name to describe a moduleMark Levedahl1-1/+2
This changes the search logic for describing a submodule from: - annotated tag - any tag - tag on a subsequent commit - commit id to - annotated tag - any tag - tag on a subsequent commit - local or remote branch - commit id The change is describing with respect to a branch before falling back to the commit id. By itself, git-submodule will maintain submodules as headless checkouts without ever making a local branch. In general, such heads can always be described relative to the remote branch regardless of existence of tags, and so provides a better fallback summary than just the commit id. This requires inserting an extra describe step as --contains is incompatible with --all, but the latter can be used with --always to fall back to a commit ID. Also, --contains implies --tags, so the latter is not needed. Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-04-12bisect: fix bad rev checking in "git bisect good"Christian Couder2-9/+18
It seems that "git bisect good" and "git bisect skip" have never properly checked arguments that have been passed to them. As soon as one of them can be parsed as a SHA1, no error or warning would be given. This is because 'git rev-parse --revs-only --no-flags "$@"' always "exit 0" and outputs all the SHA1 it can found from parsing "$@". This patch fix this by using, for each "bisect good" argument, the same logic as for the "bisect bad" argument. While at it, this patch teaches "bisect bad" to give a meaningfull error message when it is passed more than one argument. Note that if "git bisect good" or "git bisect skip" is given some proper revs and then something that is not a proper rev, then the first proper revs will still have been marked as "good" or "skip".

2008-04-10git-fetch: fix status output when not storing tracking refJeff King1-15/+13
There was code in update_local_ref for handling this case, but it never actually got called. It assumed that storing in FETCH_HEAD meant a blank peer_ref name, but we actually have a NULL peer_ref in this case, so we never even made it to the update_local_ref function. On top of that, the display formatting was different from all of the other cases, probably owing to the fact that nobody had ever actually seen the output. This patch harmonizes the output with the other cases and moves the detection of this case into store_updated_refs, where we can actually trigger it.

2008-04-10git-archive: ignore prefix when checking file attributeRené Scharfe3-5/+22
Ulrik Sverdrup noticed that git-archive doesn't correctly apply the attribute export-subst when the option --prefix is given, too. When it checked if a file has the attribute turned on, git-archive would try to look up the full path -- including the prefix -- in .gitattributes. That's wrong, as the prefix doesn't need to have any relation to any existing directories, tracked or not. This patch makes git-archive ignore the prefix when looking up if value of the attribute export-subst for a file.

When using git-svn to follow only a single (empty) path per svn-remote (i.e. not using --stdlayout), following the history of a renamed path was broken in c586879cdfa4f8181a14e953a9152a4639eef333.

In commit 15387e3 (Test suite: reset TERM to its previous value after testing., 2007-10-26), I added a workaround to reset TERM to its previous value before the "test_done" at the end of "t7005-editor.sh" because otherwise "test_done" would have printed the test result with a bad TERM env variable (this resulted in output with no color on konsole). But since commit c2116a1 (test-lib: fix TERM to dumb for test repeatability, 2008-03-06), colored output is printed in a subshell with TERM reset to its original value so the earlier workaround is not needed anymore.

2008-04-07Fix "git apply" to correctly enforce "match at the beginning"Junio C Hamano2-13/+29
An earlier commit 4be6096 (apply --unidiff-zero: loosen sanity checks for --unidiff=0 patches, 2006-09-17) made match_beginning and match_end computed incorrectly. If a hunk inserts at the beginning, old position recorded at the hunk is line 0, and if a hunk changes at the beginning, it is line 1. The new test added to t4104 exposes that the old code did not insist on matching at the beginning for a patch to add a line to an empty file. An even older 65aadb9 (apply: force matching at the beginning., 2006-05-24) was equally wrong in that it tried to take hints from the number of leading context lines, to decide if the hunk must match at the beginning, but we can just look at the line number in the hunk to decide.

2008-04-06gitk: Fix changing colors through Edit->PreferencesGerrit Pape1-3/+3
With tcl/tk8.5 the lset command seems to behave differently. When changing the background color through Edit->Preferences, the changes are applied, but new dialogs, such as View->New view... barf with Error: unknown color name "{#ffffff}" Additionally when closing gitk, and starting it up again, a bad value has been saved to ~/.gitk, preventing gitk from running properly; it fails with Error in startup script: unknown color name "{#ffffff}" ... This commit fixes the problem by changing the color dialogs to pass the empty string {} as the list index to choosecolor. This causes the lset and lindex commands used by choosecolor to use and set the whole variable (bgcolor, fgcolor or selectbgcolor) rather than treating them as a 1-element list.

Commit d89c1df (filter-branch: don't use xargs -0, 2008-03-12) replaced a 'ls-files | xargs rm' pipeline by 'git clean'. 'git clean' however does not recurse and remove directories by default. Now, consider a tree-filter that renames a directory. 1. For the first commit everything works as expected 2. Then filter-branch checks out the files for the next commit. This leaves the new directory behind because there is no real "branch switching" involved that would notice that the directory can be removed. 3. Then filter-branch invokes 'git clean' to remove exactly those left-overs. But here it does not remove the directory. 4. The next tree-filter does not work as expected because there already exists a directory with the new name. Just add -d to 'git clean', so that empty directories are removed.
