2010-02-19Add an optional argument for --color optionsMark Lodato
Make git-branch, git-show-branch, git-grep, and all the diff-based programs accept an optional argument <when> for --color. The argument is a colorbool: "always", "never", or "auto". If no argument is given, "always" is used; --no-color is an alias for --color=never. This makes the command-line interface consistent with other GNU tools, such as `ls' and `grep', and with the git-config color options. Note that, without an argument, --color and --no-color work exactly as before. To implement this, two internal changes were made: 1. Allow the first argument of git_config_colorbool() to be NULL, in which case it returns -1 if the argument isn't "always", "never", or "auto". 2. Add OPT_COLOR_FLAG(), OPT__COLOR(), and parse_opt_color_flag_cb() to the option parsing library. The callback uses git_config_colorbool(), so color.h is now a dependency of parse-options.c.

2010-02-06run-command: support custom fd-set in asyncErik Faye-Lund
This patch adds the possibility to supply a set of non-0 file descriptors for async process communication instead of the default-created pipe. Additionally, we now support bi-directional communiction with the async procedure, by giving the async function both read and write file descriptors. To retain compatiblity and similar "API feel" with start_command, we require start_async callers to set .out = -1 to get a readable file descriptor. If either of .in or .out is 0, we supply no file descriptor to the async process. [sp: Note: Erik started this patch, and a huge bulk of it is his work. All bugs were introduced later by Shawn.] Signed-off-by: Erik Faye-Lund <kusmabite@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-01-14strbuf_expand: convert "%%" to "%"Jeff King
The only way to safely quote arbitrary text in a pretty-print user format is to replace instances of "%" with "%x25". This is slightly unreadable, and many users would expect "%%" to produce a single "%", as that is what printf format specifiers do. This patch converts "%%" to "%" for all users of strbuf_expand(): (1) git-daemon interpolated paths (2) pretty-print user formats (3) merge driver command lines Case (1) was already doing the conversion itself outside of strbuf_expand(). Case (2) is the intended beneficiary of this patch. Case (3) users probably won't notice, but as this is user-facing behavior, consistently providing the quoting mechanism makes sense.

The current technical documentation for the packfile protocol is both sparse and incorrect. This documents the fetch-pack/upload-pack and send-pack/ receive-pack protocols much more fully.

Add documentation on the various capabilities supported by the upload-pack and receive-pack protocols. protocol-capabilities.txt describes multi-ack, thin-pack, side-band[-64k], shallow, no-progress, include-tag, ofs-delta, delete-refs and report-status.

2009-08-24Read .gitignore from index if it is skip-worktreeNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
This adds index as a prerequisite for directory listing (with exclude). At the moment directory listing is used by "git clean", "git add", "git ls-files" and "git status"/"git commit" and unpack_trees()-related commands. These commands have been checked/modified to populate index before doing directory listing. add_excludes_from_file() does not enable this feature, because it is used to read .git/info/exclude and some explicit files specified by "git ls-files".

2009-05-25parse-opts: add OPT_FILENAME and transition builtinsStephen Boyd
Commit dbd0f5c (Files given on the command line are relative to $cwd, 2008-08-06) introduced parse_options_fix_filename() as a minimal fix. OPT_FILENAME is intended to be a more robust fix for the same issue. OPT_FILENAME and its associated enum OPTION_FILENAME are used to represent filename options within the parse options API. This option is similar to OPTION_STRING. If --no is prefixed to the option the filename is unset. If no argument is given and the default value is set, the filename is set to the default value. The difference is that the filename is prefixed with the prefix passed to parse_options() (or parse_options_start()). Update git-apply, git-commit, git-fmt-merge-msg, and git-tag to use OPT_FILENAME with their filename options. Also, rename parse_options_fix_filename() to fix_filename() as it is no longer extern.

2009-05-25parse-opts: prepare for OPT_FILENAMEStephen Boyd
To give OPT_FILENAME the prefix, we pass the prefix to parse_options() which passes the prefix to parse_options_start() which sets the prefix member of parse_opts_ctx accordingly. If there isn't a prefix in the calling context, passing NULL will suffice. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <bebarino@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-03-09parseopt: prevent KEEP_UNKNOWN and STOP_AT_NON_OPTION from being used togetherRené Scharfe
As suggested by Junio, disallow the flags PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN and PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION to be turned on at the same time, as a value of an unknown option could be mistakenly classified as a non-option, stopping the parser early. E.g.: git cmd --known --unknown value arg0 arg1 The parser should have stopped at "arg0", but it already stops at "value". This patch makes parse_options() die if the two flags are used in combination. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
