2009-10-28Add '--bisect' revision machinery argumentLinus Torvalds
I personally use "git bisect visualize" all the time when I bisect, but it turns out that that is not a very flexible model. Sometimes I want to do bisection based on all commits (no pathname limiting), but then visualize the current bisection tree with just a few pathnames because I _suspect_ those pathnames are involved in the problem but am not totally sure about them. And at other times, I want to use other revision parsing logic, none of which is available with "git bisect visualize". So this adds "--bisect" as a revision parsing argument, and as a result it just works with all the normal logging tools. So now I can just do gitk --bisect --simplify-by-decoration filename-here etc. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-10-10Documentation: clone: clarify discussion of initial branchJonathan Nieder
When saying the initial branch is equal to the currently active remote branch, it is probably intended that the branch heads point to the same commit. Maybe it would be more useful to a new user to emphasize that the tree contents and history are the same. More important, probably, is that this new branch is set up so that "git pull" merges changes from the corresponding remote branch. The next paragraph addresses that directly. What the reader needs to know to begin with is that (1) the initial branch is your own; if you do not pull, it won't get updated, and that (2) the initial branch starts out at the same commit as the upstream.

2009-10-09completion: fix alias listings with newlinesStephen Boyd
Aliases with newlines have been a problem since commit 56fc25f (Bash completion support for remotes in .git/config., 2006-11-05). The chance of the problem occurring has been slim at best, until commit 518ef8f (completion: Replace config --list with --get-regexp, 2009-09-11) removed the case statement introduced by commit 56fc25f. Before removing the case statement, most aliases with newlines would work unless they were specially crafted as follows [alias] foo = "log -1 --pretty='format:%s\nalias.error=broken'" After removing the case statement, a more benign alias like [alias] whowhat = "log -1 --pretty='format:%an <%ae>\n%s'" wont-complete = ... would cause the completion to break badly. For now, revert the removal of the case statement until someone comes up with a better way to get keys from git-config. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <bebarino@gmail.com> Acked-by: Shawn O.

After commit 511a3fc (wrap git's main usage string., 2009-09-12), the bash completion for git commands includes COMMAND and [ARGS] when it shouldn't. Fix this by grepping more strictly for a line with git commands. It's doubtful whether git will ever have commands starting with anything besides numbers and letters so this should be fine.

2009-10-09pull: improve advice for unconfigured error caseJeff King
There are several reasons a git-pull invocation might not have anything marked for merge: 1. We're not on a branch, so there is no branch configuration. 2. We're on a branch, but there is no configuration for this branch. 3. We fetched from the configured remote, but the configured branch to merge didn't get fetched (either it doesn't exist, or wasn't part of the fetch refspec). 4. We fetched from the non-default remote, but didn't specify a branch to merge. We can't use the configured one because it applies to the default remote. 5. We fetched from a specified remote, and a refspec was given, but it ended up not fetching anything (this is actually hard to do; if the refspec points to a remote branch and it doesn't exist, then fetch will fail and we never make it to this code path. But if you provide a wildcard refspec like refs/bogus/*:refs/remotes/origin/* then you can see this failure). We have handled (1) and (2) for some time. Recently, commit a6dbf88 added code to handle case (3). This patch handles cases (4) and (5), which previously just fell under other cases, producing a confusing message. While we're at it, let's rewrap the text for case (3), which looks terribly ugly as it is. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-10-09Makefile: add a note about the NO_MMAP setting on IRIX and IRIX64Brandon Casey
When git is compiled with the MIPSpro 7.4.4m compiler, and NO_PTHREADS is set, and NO_MMAP is _not_ set, then git segfaults when trying to access the first entry in a reflog. If NO_PTHREADS is not set (which implies that the pthread library is linked in), or NO_MMAP _is_ set, then the segfault is not encountered. The conservative choice has been made to set NO_MMAP in the Makefile to avoid this flaw. The GNU C compiler does not produce this behavior. The segfault happens in refs.c:read_ref_at(). The mmap succeeds, and the loop is executed properly until rec is rewound into the first line (reflog entry) of the file. The segfault is caught by test 28 of t1400-update-ref.sh which fails when 'git rev-parse --verify "master@{May 25 2005}"' is called. So, add a comment in the Makefile to describe why NO_MMAP is set and as a hint to those who may be interested in unsetting it.

2009-10-09ls-files: die instead of fprintf/exit in -i errorBen Walton
When ls-files was called with -i but no exclude pattern, it was calling fprintf(stderr, "...", NULL) and then exiting. On Solaris, passing NULL into fprintf was causing a segfault. On glibc systems, it was simply producing incorrect output (eg: "(null)": ...). The NULL pointer was a result of argv[0] not being preserved by the option parser. Instead of requesting that the option parser preserve argv[0], use die() with a constant string. A trigger for this bug was: `git ls-files -i` Signed-off-by: Ben Walton <bwalton@artsci.utoronto.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-10-09Fix the exit code of MSVC build scripts on cygwinRamsay Jones
During an MSVC build on cygwin, the make program did not notice when the compiler or linker exited with an error. This was caused by the scripts exiting with the value returned by system() directly. On POSIX-like systems, such as cygwin, the return value of system() has the exit code of the executed command encoded in the first byte (ie the value is shifted up by 8 bits). This allows the bottom 7 bits to contain the signal number of a terminated process, while the eighth bit indicates whether a core-dump was produced. (A value of -1 indicates that the command failed to execute.) The make program, however, expects the exit code to be encoded in the bottom byte. Futhermore, it apparently masks off and ignores anything in the upper bytes. However, these scripts are (naturally) intended to be used on the windows platform, where we can not assume POSIX-like semantics from a perl implementation (eg ActiveState). So, in general, we can not assume that shifting the return value right by eight will get us the exit code. In order to improve portability, we assume that a zero return from system() indicates success, whereas anything else indicates failure. Since we don't need to know the exact exit code from the compiler or linker, we simply exit with 0 (success) or 1 (failure).

2009-10-09Fix MSVC build on cygwinRamsay Jones
In the MSVC section of the Makefile, BASIC_CFLAGS is set to a value which contains the string "-DWIN32-D_CONSOLE". This results in a (single) malformed -Define being passed to the compiler. At least on my cygwin installation, the msvc compiler seems to ignore this parameter, without issuing an error or warning, and results in the WIN32 and _CONSOLE macros being undefined. This breaks the build. In order to fix the build, we simply insert a space between the two -Define parameters, "-DWIN32" and "-D_CONSOLE", as originally intended.

Back when a74b170 (git-pull: disallow implicit merging to detached HEAD, 2007-01-15) added this check, $? referred to the error status of reading HEAD as a symbolic-ref; but cd67e4d (Teach 'git pull' about --rebase, 2007-11-28) moved the command away from where the check is, and nobody noticed the breakage. Ever since, $? has always been 0 (tr at the end of the pipe to find merge_head never fails) and other case arms were never reached. These days, error_on_no_merge_candidates function is prepared to handle a detached HEAD case, which was what the code this patch removes used to handle.

2009-10-04show-branch: fix segfault when showbranch.default existsJunio C Hamano
When running "git show-branch" without any parameter in a repository that has showbranch.default defined, we used to rely on the fact that our handcrafted option parsing loop never looked at av[0]. The array of default strings had the first real command line argument in default_arg[0], but the option parser wanted to look at the array starting at av[1], so we assigned the address of -1th element to av to force the loop start working from default_arg[0]. This no longer worked since 5734365 (show-branch: migrate to parse-options API, 2009-05-21), as parse_options_start() saved the incoming &av[0] in its ctx->out and later in parse_options_end() it did memmove to ctx->out (with ctx->cpidx == 0), overwriting the memory before default_arg[] array. I am not sure if this is a bug in parse_options(), or a bug in the caller, and tonight I do not have enough concentration to figure out which. In any case, this patch works the issue around.

2009-10-02Fix some printf format warningsRamsay Jones
commit 51ea551 ("make sure byte swapping is optimal for git" 2009-08-18) introduced a "sane definition for ntohl()/htonl()" for use on some GNU C platforms. Unfortunately, for some of these platforms, this results in the introduction of a problem which is essentially the reverse of a problem that commit 6e1c234 ("Fix some warnings (on cygwin) to allow -Werror" 2008-07-3) was intended to fix. In particular, on platforms where the uint32_t type is defined to be unsigned long, the return type of the new ntohl()/htonl() is causing gcc to issue printf format warnings, such as: warning: long unsigned int format, unsigned int arg (arg 3) (nine such warnings, covering six different files). The earlier commit (6e1c234) needed to suppress these same warnings, except that the types were in the opposite direction; namely the format specifier ("%u") was 'unsigned int' and the argument type (ie the return type of ntohl()) was 'long unsigned int' (aka uint32_t). In order to suppress these warnings, the earlier commit used the (C99) PRIu32 format specifier, since the definition of this macro is suitable for use with the uint32_t type on that platform. This worked because the return type of the (original) platform ntohl()/htonl() functions was uint32_t. In order to suppress these warnings, we change the return type of the new byte swapping functions in the compat/bswap.h header file from 'unsigned int' to uint32_t.

2009-09-29improve reflog date/number heuristicJeff King
When we show a reflog, we have two ways of naming the entry: by sequence number (e.g., HEAD@{0}) or by date (e.g., HEAD@{10 minutes ago}). There is no explicit option to set one or the other, but we guess based on whether or not the user has provided us with a date format, showing them the date version if they have done so, and the sequence number otherwise. This usually made sense if the use did something like "git log -g --date=relative". However, it didn't make much sense if the user set the date format using the log.date config variable; in that case, all of their reflogs would end up as dates. This patch records the source of the date format and only triggers the date-based view if --date= was given on the command line. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
