2013-07-13builtin: add git-check-mailmap commandEric Sunshine
Introduce command check-mailmap, similar to check-attr and check-ignore, which allows direct testing of .mailmap configuration. As plumbing accessible to scripts and other porcelain, check-mailmap publishes the stable, well-tested .mailmap functionality employed by built-in Git commands. Consequently, script authors need not re-implement .mailmap functionality manually, thus avoiding potential quirks and behavioral differences.

They've grown since d19fbc3 (Documentation: add git user's manual, 2007-01-07) when the stats were initially added.

2013-06-19diff: add --ignore-blank-lines optionAntoine Pelisse
The goal of the patch is to introduce the GNU diff -B/--ignore-blank-lines as closely as possible. The short option is not available because it's already used for "break-rewrites". When this option is used, git-diff will not create hunks that simply add or remove empty lines, but will still show empty lines addition/suppression if they are close enough to "valuable" changes. There are two differences between this option and GNU diff -B option: - GNU diff doesn't have "--inter-hunk-context", so this must be handled - The following sequence looks like a bug (context is displayed twice): $ seq 5 >file1 $ cat <<EOF >file2 change 1 2 3 4 5 change EOF $ diff -u -B file1 file2 --- file1 2013-06-08 22:13:04.471517834 +0200 +++ file2 2013-06-08 22:13:23.275517855 +0200 @@ -1,5 +1,7 @@ +change 1 2 + 3 4 5 @@ -3,3 +5,4 @@ 3 4 5 +change So here is a more thorough description of the option: - real changes are interesting - blank lines that are close enough (less than context size) to interesting changes are considered interesting (recursive definition) - "context" lines are used around each hunk of interesting changes - If two hunks are separated by less than "inter-hunk-context", they will be merged into one. The implementation does the "interesting changes selection" in a single pass. Signed-off-by: Antoine Pelisse <apelisse@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-06-18name-rev: allow to specify a subpath for --refs optionNamhyung Kim
When an user wants to filter specific ref using the --refs option, the pattern needs to match the full ref, e.g. --refs=refs/tags/v1.*. It'd be convenient to specify a subpath of ref pattern. For example, --refs=origin/* can find refs/remotes/origin/master by searching the pattern against its substrings in turn: refs/remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/master origin/master If it finds a match in a subpath, unambigous part of the ref path will be removed in the output.

2013-06-18Documentation/git-merge.txt: weaken warning about uncommited changesMatthieu Moy
Commit 35d2fffd introduced 'git merge --abort' as a synonym to 'git reset --merge', and added some failing tests in t7611-merge-abort.sh (search '###' in this file) showing that 'git merge --abort' could not always recover the pre-merge state. Still, in many cases, 'git merge --abort' just works, and it is usually considered that the ability to start a merge with uncommited changes is an important property of Git. Weaken the warning by discouraging only merge with /non-trivial/ uncommited changes. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This makes 'git rev-parse' behave as if it were invoked from the specified subdirectory of a repository, with the difference that any file paths which it prints are prefixed with the full path from the top of the working tree.

2013-06-17stash: introduce 'git stash store'Ramkumar Ramachandra
save_stash() contains the logic for doing two potentially independent operations; the first is preparing the stash merge commit, and the second is updating the stash ref/ reflog accordingly. While the first operation is abstracted out into a create_stash() for callers to access via 'git stash create', the second one is not. Fix this by factoring out the logic for storing the stash into a store_stash() that callers can access via 'git stash store'. Like create, store is not intended for end user interactive use, but for callers in other scripts. We can simplify the logic in the rebase.autostash feature using this new subcommand.
