2012-11-16checkout: print a message when switching unborn branchesJeff King
When we switch to a new branch using checkout, we usually output a message indicating what happened. However, when we switch from an unborn branch to a new branch, we do not print anything, which may leave the user wondering what happened. The reason is that the unborn branch is a special case (see abe1998), and does not follow the usual switch_branches code path. Let's add a similar informational message to the special case to match the usual code path. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-09-14Merge branch 'nd/checkout-option-parsing-fix'Junio C Hamano
The option parsing of "git checkout" had error checking, dwim and defaulting missing options, all mixed in the code, and issuing an appropriate error message with useful context was getting harder. Reorganize the code and allow giving a proper diagnosis when the user says "git checkout -b -t foo bar" (e.g. "-t" is not a good name for a branch). * nd/checkout-option-parsing-fix: checkout: reorder option handling checkout: move more parameters to struct checkout_opts checkout: pass "struct checkout_opts *" as const pointer
2012-09-11checkout: reorder option handlingNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
checkout operates in three different modes. On top of that it tries to be smart by guessing the branch name for switching. This results in messy option handling code. This patch reorders it so that - cmd_checkout() is responsible for parsing, preparing input and determining mode - Code of each mode is in checkout_paths() and checkout_branch(), where sanity checks are performed Another slight improvement is always print branch name (or commit name) when printing errors related ot them. This helps catch the case where an option is mistaken as branch/commit. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-08-03diff_setup_done(): return voidThomas Rast
diff_setup_done() has historically returned an error code, but lost the last nonzero return in 943d5b7 (allow diff.renamelimit to be set regardless of -M/-C, 2006-08-09). The callers were in a pretty confused state: some actually checked for the return code, and some did not. Let it return void, and patch all callers to take this into account. This conveniently also gets rid of a handful of different(!) error messages that could never be triggered anyway. Note that the function can still die().

"git checkout <branchname>" to come back from a detached HEAD state incorrectly computed reachability of the detached HEAD, resulting in unnecessary warnings. * jk/maint-checkout-orphan-check-fix: checkout: don't confuse ref and object flags
2012-07-25checkout: don't confuse ref and object flagsJeff King
When we are leaving a detached HEAD, we do a revision traversal to check whether we are orphaning any commits, marking the commit we're leaving as the start of the traversal, and all existing refs as uninteresting. Prior to commit 468224e5, we did so by calling for_each_ref, and feeding each resulting refname to setup_revisions. Commit 468224e5 refactored this to simply mark the pending objects, saving an extra lookup. However, it confused the "flags" parameter to the each_ref_fn clalback, which is about the flags we found while looking up the ref with the object flag. Because REF_ISSYMREF ("this ref is a symbolic ref, e.g. refs/remotes/origin/HEAD") happens to be the same bit pattern as SEEN ("we have picked this object up from the pending list and moved it to revs.commits list"), we incorrectly reported that a commit previously at the detached HEAD will become unreachable if the only ref that can reach the commit happens to be pointed at by a symbolic ref.

2012-07-11Strip namelen out of ce_flags into a ce_namelen fieldThomas Gummerer
Strip the name length from the ce_flags field and move it into its own ce_namelen field in struct cache_entry. This will both give us a tiny bit of a performance enhancement when working with long pathnames and is a refactoring for more readability of the code. It enhances readability, by making it more clear what is a flag, and where the length is stored and make it clear which functions use stages in comparisions and which only use the length. It also makes CE_NAMEMASK private, so that users don't mistakenly write the name length in the flags.

2012-06-26git-checkout: disallow --detach on unborn branchChris Webb
abe199808c (git checkout -b: allow switching out of an unborn branch) introduced a bug demonstrated by git checkout --orphan foo git checkout --detach git symbolic-ref HEAD which gives 'refs/heads/(null)'. This happens because we strbuf_addf(&branch_ref, "refs/heads/%s", opts->new_branch) when opts->new_branch can be NULL for --detach.

The progress indicator for a large "git checkout" was sent to stderr even if it is not a terminal.
2012-05-24checkout: no progress messages if !isatty(2).Avery Pennarun
If stderr isn't a tty, we shouldn't be printing incremental progress messages. In particular, this affects 'git checkout -f . >&logfile' unless you provided -q. And git-new-workdir has no way to provide -q. It would probably be better to have progress.c check isatty(2) all the time, but that wouldn't allow things like 'git push --progress' to force progress reporting to on, so I won't try to solve the general case right now.

2012-05-08checkout: do not corrupt HEAD on empty repoErik Faye-Lund
In abe1998 ("git checkout -b: allow switching out of an unborn branch"), a code-path overly-optimisticly assumed that a branch-name was specified. This is not always the case, and as a result a NULL-pointer was attempted printed to .git/HEAD. This could lead to at least two different failure modes: 1) vsnprintf formated the NULL-string as something useful (e.g "(null)") 2) vsnprintf crashed Neither were very convenient for formatting a new HEAD-reference. To fix this, reintroduce some strictness so we only take this new codepath if a banch-name was specified.

2011-12-06Copy resolve_ref() return value for longer useNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer. Callers that use this value longer than a couple of statements should copy the value to avoid some hidden resolve_ref() call that may change the static buffer's value. The bug found by Tony Wang <wwwjfy@gmail.com> in builtin/merge.c demonstrates this. The first call is in cmd_merge() branch = resolve_ref("HEAD", head_sha1, 0, &flag); Then deep in lookup_commit_or_die() a few lines after, resolve_ref() may be called again and destroy "branch". lookup_commit_or_die lookup_commit_reference lookup_commit_reference_gently parse_object lookup_replace_object do_lookup_replace_object prepare_replace_object for_each_replace_ref do_for_each_ref get_loose_refs get_ref_dir get_ref_dir resolve_ref All call sites are checked and made sure that xstrdup() is called if the value should be saved.

2011-11-28checkout,merge: disallow overwriting ignored files with --no-overwrite-ignoreNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
Ignored files usually are generated files (e.g. .o files) and can be safely discarded. However sometimes users may have important files in working directory, but still want a clean "git status", so they mark them as ignored files. But in this case, these files should not be overwritten without asking first. Enable this use case with --no-overwrite-ignore, where git only sees tracked and untracked files, no ignored files. Those who mix discardable ignored files with important ones may have to sort it out themselves.

Back in 1127148 (Loosen "working file will be lost" check in Porcelain-ish - 2006-12-04), git-checkout.sh learned to quietly overwrite ignored files.

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens, the buffer may be changed. Many call sites though do not care about this buffer. They simply check if the return value is NULL or not. Convert all these call sites to new wrappers to reduce resolve_ref() calls from 57 to 34. If we change resolve_ref() prototype later on to avoid passing static buffer out, this helps reduce changes.
