From d0f379c2dcf7198d373b3c64444019bed2e24336 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephan Beyer Date: Wed, 30 Dec 2009 06:54:47 +0100 Subject: reset: use "unpack_trees()" directly instead of "git read-tree" This patch makes "reset_index_file()" call "unpack_trees()" directly instead of forking and execing "git read-tree". So the code is more efficient. And it's also easier to see which unpack_tree() options will be used, as we don't need to follow "git read-tree"'s command line parsing which is quite complex. As Daniel Barkalow found, there is a difference between this new version and the old one. The old version gives an error for "git reset --merge" with unmerged entries, and the new version does not when we reset the entries to some states that differ from HEAD. Instead, it resets the index entry and succeeds, while leaving the conflict markers in the corresponding file in the work tree (which will be corrected by the next patch). The code comes from the sequencer GSoC project: git://repo.or.cz/git/sbeyer.git (at commit 5a78908b70ceb5a4ea9fd4b82f07ceba1f019079) Mentored-by: Daniel Barkalow Mentored-by: Christian Couder Signed-off-by: Stephan Beyer Signed-off-by: Christian Couder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- Documentation/git-reset.txt | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'Documentation/git-reset.txt') diff --git a/Documentation/git-reset.txt b/Documentation/git-reset.txt index 2198c8ebd6..cf2433d52c 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-reset.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-reset.txt @@ -122,7 +122,7 @@ entries: X U A B --soft (disallowed) --mixed X B B --hard B B B - --merge (disallowed) + --merge X B B working index HEAD target working index HEAD ---------------------------------------------------- -- cgit v1.2.3
