6 daysbuiltin/tag: add --trailer optionJohn Passaro
git-tag supports interpreting trailers from an annotated tag message, using --list --format="%(trailers)". However, the available methods to add a trailer to a tag message (namely -F or --editor) are not as ergonomic. In a previous patch, we moved git-commit's implementation of its --trailer option to the trailer.h API. Let's use that new function to teach git-tag the same --trailer option, emulating as much of git-commit's behavior as much as possible.

As many CI/CD tools don't allow to control command line options when executing `git tag` command, a default value in the configuration file will allow to enforce tag signing if required. The new config-file option tag.gpgSign is added to define default behavior of tag signings. To override default behavior the command line option -s, --sign and --no-sign can be used: $ git tag -m "commit message" will generate a GPG signed tag if tag.gpgSign option is true, while $ git tag --no-sign -m "commit message" will skip the signing step.

When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd (ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors, 2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so with --color/--no-color. But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the "color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands the usual color command-line options. This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always" changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing color when our output goes to a non-terminal).

2017-08-18Documentation: use proper wording for ref format stringsMichael J Gruber
Various commands list refs and allow to use a format string for the output that interpolates from the ref as well as the object it points at (for-each-ref; branch and tag in list mode). Currently, the documentation talks about interpolating from the object. This is confusing because a ref points to an object but not vice versa, so the object cannot possible know %(refname), for example. Thus, this is wrong independent of refs being objects (one day, maybe) or not. Change the wording to make this clearer (and distinguish it from formats for the log family).

2017-08-03tag: change default of `pager.tag` to "on"Martin Ågren
The previous patch taught `git tag` to only respect `pager.tag` in list-mode. That patch left the default value of `pager.tag` at "off".

2017-08-03tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode onlyMartin Ågren
Using, e.g., `git -c pager.tag tag -a new-tag` results in errors such as "Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal" and a garbled terminal. Someone who makes use of both `git tag -a` and `git tag -l` will probably not set `pager.tag`, so that `git tag -a` will actually work, at the cost of not paging output of `git tag -l`. Use the mechanisms introduced in two earlier patches to ignore `pager.tag` in git.c and let the `git tag` builtin handle it on its own. Only respect `pager.tag` when running in list-mode. There is a window between where the pager is started before and after this patch. This means that early errors can behave slightly different before and after this patch. Since operation-parsing has to happen inside this window, this can be seen with `git -c pager.tag="echo pager is used" tag -l --unknown-option`. This change in paging-behavior should be acceptable since it only affects erroneous usages. Update the documentation and update tests. If an alias is used to run `git tag -a`, then `pager.tag` will still be respected. Document this known breakage. It will be fixed in a later commit. Add a similar test for `-l`, which works.

2017-03-24ref-filter: add --no-contains option to tag/branch/for-each-refÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Change the tag, branch & for-each-ref commands to have a --no-contains option in addition to their longstanding --contains options. This allows for finding the last-good rollout tag given a known-bad <commit>. Given a hypothetically bad commit cf5c7253e0, the git version to revert to can be found with this hacky two-liner: (git tag -l 'v[0-9]*'; git tag -l --contains cf5c7253e0 'v[0-9]*') | sort | uniq -c | grep -E '^ *1 ' | awk '{print $2}' | tail -n 10 With this new --no-contains option the same can be achieved with: git tag -l --no-contains cf5c7253e0 'v[0-9]*' | sort | tail -n 10 As the filtering machinery is shared between the tag, branch & for-each-ref commands, implement this for those commands too. A practical use for this with "branch" is e.g. finding branches which were branched off between v2.8.0 and v2.10.0: git branch --contains v2.8.0 --no-contains v2.10.0 The "describe" command also has a --contains option, but its semantics are unrelated to what tag/branch/for-each-ref use --contains for. A --no-contains option for "describe" wouldn't make any sense, other than being exactly equivalent to not supplying --contains at all, which would be confusing at best. Add a --without option to "tag" as an alias for --no-contains, for consistency with --with and --contains. The --with option is undocumented, and possibly the only user of it is Junio (<xmqqefy71iej.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com>). But it's trivial to support, so let's do that. The additions to the the test suite are inverse copies of the corresponding --contains tests. With this change --no-contains for tag, branch & for-each-ref is just as well tested as the existing --contains option. In addition to those tests, add a test for "tag" which asserts that --no-contains won't find tree/blob tags, which is slightly unintuitive, but consistent with how --contains works & is documented.

2017-03-24tag: implicitly supply --list given another list-like optionÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Change the "tag" command to implicitly turn on its --list mode when provided with a list-like option such as --contains, --points-at etc. This is for consistency with how "branch" works. When "branch" is given a list-like option, such as --contains, it implicitly provides --list. Before this change "tag" would error out on those sorts of invocations. I.e. while both of these worked for "branch": git branch --contains v2.8.0 <pattern> git branch --list --contains v2.8.0 <pattern> Only the latter form worked for "tag": git tag --contains v2.8.0 '*rc*' git tag --list --contains v2.8.0 '*rc*' Now "tag", like "branch", will implicitly supply --list when a list-like option is provided, and no other conflicting non-list options (such as -d) are present on the command-line. Spelunking through the history via: git log --reverse -p -G'only allowed with' -- '*builtin*tag*c' Reveals that there was no good reason for not allowing this in the first place. The --contains option added in 32c35cfb1e ("git-tag: Add --contains option", 2009-01-26) made this an error. All the other subsequent list-like options that were added copied its pattern of making this usage an error. The only tests that break as a result of this change are tests that were explicitly checking that this "branch-like" usage wasn't permitted. Change those failing tests to check that this invocation mode is permitted, add extra tests for the list-like options we weren't testing, and tests to ensure that e.g. we don't toggle the list mode in the presence of other conflicting non-list options. With this change errors messages such as "--contains option is only allowed with -l" don't make sense anymore, since options like --contain turn on -l. Instead we error out when list-like options such as --contain are used in conjunction with conflicting options such as -d or -v.

2017-03-24tag: change misleading --list <pattern> documentationÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Change the documentation for --list so that it's described as a toggle, not as an option that takes a <pattern> as an argument. Junio initially documented this in b867c7c23a ("git-tag: -l to list tags (usability).", 2006-02-17), but later Jeff King changed "tag" to accept multiple patterns in 588d0e834b ("tag: accept multiple patterns for --list", 2011-06-20). However, documenting this as "-l <pattern>" was never correct, as these both worked before Jeff's change: git tag -l 'v*' git tag 'v*' -l One would expect an option that was documented like that to only accept: git tag --list git tag --list 'v*rc*' And after Jeff's change, one that took multiple patterns: git tag --list 'v*rc*' --list '*2.8*' But since it's actually a toggle all of these work as well, and produce identical output to the last example above: git tag --list 'v*rc*' '*2.8*' git tag --list 'v*rc*' '*2.8*' --list --list --list git tag --list 'v*rc*' '*2.8*' --list -l --list -l --list Now the documentation is more in tune with how the "branch" command describes its --list option since commit cddd127b9a ("branch: introduce --list option", 2011-08-28).

2017-01-31refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = alwaysCornelius Weig
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old history immediately). However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than the performance implications of keeping the log around. This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

2017-01-12versioncmp: generalize version sort suffix reorderingSZEDER Gábor
The 'versionsort.prereleaseSuffix' configuration variable, as its name suggests, is supposed to only deal with tagnames with prerelease suffixes, and allows sorting those prerelease tags in a user-defined order before the suffixless main release tag, instead of sorting them simply lexicographically. However, the previous changes in this series resulted in an interesting and useful property of version sort: - The empty string as a configured suffix matches all tagnames, including tagnames without any suffix, but - tagnames containing a "real" configured suffix are still ordered according to that real suffix, because any longer suffix takes precedence over the empty string. Exploiting this property we can easily generalize suffix reordering and specify the order of tags with given suffixes not only before but even after a main release tag by using the empty suffix to denote the position of the main release tag, without any algorithm changes: $ git -c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-alpha \ -c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-beta \ -c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix="" \ -c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-gamma \ -c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-delta \ tag -l --sort=version:refname 'v3.0*' v3.0-alpha1 v3.0-beta1 v3.0 v3.0-gamma1 v3.0-delta1 Since 'versionsort.prereleaseSuffix' is not a fitting name for a configuration variable to control this more general suffix reordering, introduce the new variable 'versionsort.suffix'. Still keep the old configuration variable name as a deprecated alias, though, to avoid suddenly breaking setups already using it. Ignore the old variable if both old and new configuration variables are set, but emit a warning so users will be aware of it and can fix their configuration. Extend the documentation to describe and add a test to check this more general behavior. Note: since the empty suffix matches all tagnames, tagnames with suffixes not included in the configuration are listed together with the suffixless main release tag, ordered lexicographically right after that, i.e. before tags with suffixes listed in the configuration following the empty suffix.

2016-12-05tag, branch, for-each-ref: add --ignore-case for sorting and filteringNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
This options makes sorting ignore case, which is great when you have branches named bug-12-do-something, Bug-12-do-some-more and BUG-12-do-what and want to group them together. Sorting externally may not be an option because we lose coloring and column layout from git-branch and git-tag. The same could be said for filtering, but it's probably less important because you can always go with the ugly pattern [bB][uU][gG]-* if you're desperate. You can't have case-sensitive filtering and case-insensitive sorting (or the other way around) with this though. For branch and tag, that should be no problem. for-each-ref, as a plumbing, might want finer control. But we can always add --{filter,sort}-ignore-case when there is a need for it.
