2007-11-25Add "--patch" option to git-add--interactiveWincent Colaiuta
When the "--patch" option is supplied, the patch_update_cmd() function is called bypassing the main_loop() and exits. Seeing as builtin-add is the only caller of git-add--interactive we can impose a strict requirement on the format of the arguments to avoid possible ambiguity: an "--" argument must be used whenever any pathspecs are passed, both with the "--patch" option and without it.

2007-11-25add -i: Fix running from a subdirectoryJunio C Hamano
This fixes the pathspec interactive_add() passes to the underlying git-add--interactive helper. When the command was run from a subdirectory, cmd_add() already has gone up to the toplevel of the work tree, and the helper will be spawned from there. The pathspec given on the command line from the user needs to be adjusted for this. This adds "validate_pathspec()" function in the callchain, but it does not validate yet. The function can be changed to barf if there are unmatching pathspec given by the user, but that is not strictly necessary. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-11-14core.excludesfile clean-upJunio C Hamano
There are inconsistencies in the way commands currently handle the core.excludesfile configuration variable. The problem is the variable is too new to be noticed by anything other than git-add and git-status. * git-ls-files does not notice any of the "ignore" files by default, as it predates the standardized set of ignore files. The calling scripts established the convention to use .git/info/exclude, .gitignore, and later core.excludesfile. * git-add and git-status know about it because they call add_excludes_from_file() directly with their own notion of which standard set of ignore files to use. This is just a stupid duplication of code that need to be updated every time the definition of the standard set of ignore files is changed. * git-read-tree takes --exclude-per-directory=<gitignore>, not because the flexibility was needed. Again, this was because the option predates the standardization of the ignore files. * git-merge-recursive uses hardcoded per-directory .gitignore and nothing else. git-clean (scripted version) does not honor core.* because its call to underlying ls-files does not know about it. git-clean in C (parked in 'pu') doesn't either. We probably could change git-ls-files to use the standard set when no excludes are specified on the command line and ignore processing was asked, or something like that, but that will be a change in semantics and might break people's scripts in a subtle way. I am somewhat reluctant to make such a change. On the other hand, I think it makes perfect sense to fix git-read-tree, git-merge-recursive and git-clean to follow the same rule as other commands. I do not think of a valid use case to give an exclude-per-directory that is nonstandard to read-tree command, outside a "negative" test in the t1004 test script. This patch is the first step to untangle this mess. The next step would be to teach read-tree, merge-recursive and clean (in C) to use setup_standard_excludes().

2007-11-10git-add: make the entry stat-clean after re-adding the same contentsJunio C Hamano
Earlier in commit 0781b8a9b2fe760fc4ed519a3a26e4b9bd6ccffe (add_file_to_index: skip rehashing if the cached stat already matches), add_file_to_index() were taught not to re-add the path if it already matches the index. The change meant well, but was not executed quite right. It used ie_modified() to see if the file on the work tree is really different from the index, and skipped adding the contents if the function says "not modified". This was wrong. There are three possible comparison results between the index and the file in the work tree: - with lstat(2) we _know_ they are different. E.g. if the length or the owner in the cached stat information is different from the length we just obtained from lstat(2), we can tell the file is modified without looking at the actual contents. - with lstat(2) we _know_ they are the same. The same length, the same owner, the same everything (but this has a twist, as described below). - we cannot tell from lstat(2) information alone and need to go to the filesystem to actually compare. The last case arises from what we call 'racy git' situation, that can be caused with this sequence: $ echo hello >file $ git add file $ echo aeiou >file ;# the same length If the second "echo" is done within the same filesystem timestamp granularity as the first "echo", then the timestamp recorded by "git add" and the timestamp we get from lstat(2) will be the same, and we can mistakenly say the file is not modified. The path is called 'racily clean'. We need to reliably detect racily clean paths are in fact modified. To solve this problem, when we write out the index, we mark the index entry that has the same timestamp as the index file itself (that is the time from the point of view of the filesystem) to tell any later code that does the lstat(2) comparison not to trust the cached stat info, and ie_modified() then actually goes to the filesystem to compare the contents for such a path. That's all good, but it should not be used for this "git add" optimization, as the goal of "git add" is to actually update the path in the index and make it stat-clean. With the false optimization, we did _not_ cause any data loss (after all, what we failed to do was only to update the cached stat information), but it made the following sequence leave the file stat dirty: $ echo hello >file $ git add file $ echo hello >file ;# the same contents $ git add file The solution is not to use ie_modified() which goes to the filesystem to see if it is really clean, but instead use ie_match_stat() with "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, to force re-adding of such a path. There was another problem with "git add -u". The codepath shares the same issue when adding the paths that are found to be modified, but in addition, it asked "git diff-files" machinery run_diff_files() function (which is "git diff-files") to list the paths that are modified. But "git diff-files" machinery uses the same ie_modified() call so that it does not report racily clean _and_ actually clean paths as modified, which is not what we want. The patch allows the callers of run_diff_files() to pass the same "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, and makes "git-add -u" codepath to use that option, to discover and re-add racily clean _and_ actually clean paths. We could further optimize on top of this patch to differentiate the case where the path really needs re-adding (i.e. the content of the racily clean entry was indeed different) and the case where only the cached stat information needs to be refreshed (i.e. the racily clean entry was actually clean), but I do not think it is worth it. This patch applies to maint and all the way up. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-09-14Simplify cache APIJunio C Hamano
Earlier, add_file_to_index() invalidated the path in the cache-tree but remove_file_from_cache() did not, and the user of the latter needed to invalidate the entry himself. This led to a few bugs due to missed invalidate calls already. This patch makes the management of cache-tree less error prone by making more invalidate calls from lower level cache API functions. The rules are: - If you are going to write the index, you should either maintain cache_tree correctly. - If you cannot, alternatively you can remove the entire cache_tree by calling cache_tree_free() before you call write_cache(). - When you modify the index, cache_tree_invalidate_path() should be called with the path you are modifying, to discard the entry from the cache-tree structure. - The following cache API functions exported from read-cache.c (and the macro whose names have "cache" instead of "index") automatically call cache_tree_invalidate_path() for you: - remove_file_from_index(); - add_file_to_index(); - add_index_entry(); You can modify the index bypassing the above API functions (e.g. find an existing cache entry from the index and modify it in place). You need to call cache_tree_invalidate_path() yourself in such a case. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-06-13builtin-add: simplify (and increase accuracy of) exclude handlingJeff King
Previously, the code would always set up the excludes, and then manually pick through the pathspec we were given, assuming that non-added but existing paths were just ignored. This was mostly correct, but would erroneously mark a totally empty directory as 'ignored'. Instead, we now use the collect_ignored option of dir_struct, which unambiguously tells us whether a path was ignored. This simplifies the code, and means empty directories are now just not mentioned at all. Furthermore, we now conditionally ask dir_struct to respect excludes, depending on whether the '-f' flag has been set. This means we don't have to pick through the result, checking for an 'ignored' flag; ignored entries were either added or not in the first place. We can safely get rid of the special 'ignored' flags to dir_entry, which were not used anywhere else.

2007-04-05Rename add_file_to_index() to add_file_to_cache()Junio C Hamano
This function was not called "add_file_to_cache()" only because an ancient program, update-cache, used that name as an internal function name that does something slightly different. Now that is gone, we can take over the better name. The plan is to name all functions that operate on the default index xxx_cache(). Later patches create a variant of them that take an explicit parameter xxx_index(), and then turn xxx_cache() functions into macros that use "the_index".

2007-04-04_GIT_INDEX_OUTPUT: allow plumbing to output to an alternative index file.Junio C Hamano
When defined, this allows plumbing commands that update the index (add, apply, checkout-index, merge-recursive, mv, read-tree, rm, update-index, and write-tree) to write their resulting index to an alternative index file while holding a lock to the original index file. With this, git-commit that jumps the index does not have to make an extra copy of the index file, and more importantly, it can do the update while holding the lock on the index. However, I think the interface to let an environment variable specify the output is a mistake, as shown in the documentation. If a curious user has the environment variable set to something other than the file GIT_INDEX_FILE points at, almost everything will break. This should instead be a command line parameter to tell these plumbing commands to write the result in the named file, to prevent stupid mistakes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-04-01Optimize directory listing with pathspec limiter.Linus Torvalds
The way things are set up, you can now pass a "pathspec" to the "read_directory()" function. If you pass NULL, it acts exactly like it used to do (read everything). If you pass a non-NULL pointer, it will simplify it into a "these are the prefixes without any special characters", and stop any readdir() early if the path in question doesn't match any of the prefixes. NOTE! This does *not* obviate the need for the caller to do the *exact* pathspec match later. It's a first-level filter on "read_directory()", but it does not do the full pathspec thing. Maybe it should. But in the meantime, builtin-add.c really does need to do first read_directory(dir, .., pathspec); if (pathspec) prune_directory(dir, pathspec, baselen); ie the "prune_directory()" part will do the *exact* pathspec pruning, while the "read_directory()" will use the pathspec just to do some quick high-level pruning of the directories it will recurse into.

2006-12-29Fix 'git add' with .gitignoreJunio C Hamano
When '*.ig' is ignored, and you have two files f.ig and d.ig/foo in the working tree, $ git add . correctly ignored f.ig but failed to ignore d.ig/foo. This was caused by a thinko in an earlier commit 4888c534, when we tried to allow adding otherwise ignored files. After reverting that commit, this takes a much simpler approach. When we have an unmatched pathspec that talks about an existing pathname, we know it is an ignored path the user tried to add, so we include it in the set of paths directory walker returned. This does not let you say "git add -f D" on an ignored directory D and add everything under D. People can submit a patch to further allow it if they want to, but I think it is a saner behaviour to require explicit paths to be spelled out in such a case.

One thing many people found confusing about git-add was that a file whose name matches an ignored pattern could not be added to the index.

That is, if a pattern '*.o' is in .gitignore, and two files foo.o, bar/baz.o are in the working tree: $ git add foo.o $ git add '*.o' $ git add bar Only the first form adds foo.o to the index.

2006-12-19git-add --interactiveJunio C Hamano
A script to be driven when the user says "git add --interactive" is introduced. When it is run, first it runs its internal 'status' command to show the current status, and then goes into its internactive command loop. The command loop shows the list of subcommands available, and gives a prompt "What now> ". In general, when the prompt ends with a single '>', you can pick only one of the choices given and type return, like this: *** Commands *** 1: status 2: update 3: revert 4: add untracked 5: patch 6: diff 7: quit 8: help What now> 1 You also could say "s" or "sta" or "status" above as long as the choice is unique. The main command loop has 6 subcommands (plus help and quit). * 'status' shows the change between HEAD and index (i.e. what will be committed if you say "git commit"), and between index and working tree files (i.e. what you could stage further before "git commit" using "git-add") for each path. A sample output looks like this: staged unstaged path 1: binary nothing foo.png 2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl It shows that foo.png has differences from HEAD (but that is binary so line count cannot be shown) and there is no difference between indexed copy and the working tree version (if the working tree version were also different, 'binary' would have been shown in place of 'nothing'). The other file, git-add--interactive.perl, has 403 lines added and 35 lines deleted if you commit what is in the index, but working tree file has further modifications (one addition and one deletion). * 'update' shows the status information and gives prompt "Update>>". When the prompt ends with double '>>', you can make more than one selection, concatenated with whitespace or comma. Also you can say ranges. E.g. "2-5 7,9" to choose 2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list. You can say '*' to choose everything. What you chose are then highlighted with '*', like this: staged unstaged path 1: binary nothing foo.png * 2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl To remove selection, prefix the input with - like this: Update>> -2 After making the selection, answer with an empty line to stage the contents of working tree files for selected paths in the index. * 'revert' has a very similar UI to 'update', and the staged information for selected paths are reverted to that of the HEAD version. Reverting new paths makes them untracked. * 'add untracked' has a very similar UI to 'update' and 'revert', and lets you add untracked paths to the index. * 'patch' lets you choose one path out of 'status' like selection. After choosing the path, it presents diff between the index and the working tree file and asks you if you want to stage the change of each hunk. You can say: y - add the change from that hunk to index n - do not add the change from that hunk to index a - add the change from that hunk and all the rest to index d - do not the change from that hunk nor any of the rest to index j - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next undecided hunk J - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next hunk k - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous undecided hunk K - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous hunk After deciding the fate for all hunks, if there is any hunk that was chosen, the index is updated with the selected hunks. * 'diff' lets you review what will be committed (i.e. between HEAD and index). This is still rough, but does everything except a few things I think are needed. * 'patch' should be able to allow splitting a hunk into multiple hunks. * 'patch' does not adjust the line offsets @@ -k,l +m,n @@ in the hunk header. This does not have major problem in practice, but it _should_ do the adjustment. * It does not have any explicit support for a merge in progress; it may not work at all.

See for example how all the technical discussion has been evacuated from the git-add man page. Any content to be committed must be added together. Whether that content comes from new files or modified files doesn't matter. You just need to "add" it, either with git-add, or by providing git-commit with -a (for already known files only of course). No need for a separate command to distinguish new vs modified files please. That would only screw the mental model everybody should have when using GIT.

2006-08-13Better error message when we are unable to lock the index fileJunio C Hamano
Most of the callers except the one in refs.c use the function to update the index file. Among the index writers, everybody except write-tree dies if they cannot open it for writing. This gives the function an extra argument, to tell it to die when it cannot create a new file as the lockfile. The only caller that does not have to die is write-tree, because updating the index for the cache-tree part is optional and not being able to do so does not affect the correctness. I think we do not have to be so careful and make the failure into die() the same way as other callers, but that would be a different patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-04Replace some calls to die(usage_str) with usage(usage_str).Ramsay Allan Jones
The only change in behaviour should be having a "usage: " prefix on the output string rather than "fatal: ", and an exit code of 129 rather than 128. Signed-off-by: Ramsay Allan Jones <ramsay@ramsay1.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
