2012-09-07ls-remote: document the '--get-url' optionStefan Naewe
While looking for a way to expand the URL of a remote that uses a 'url.<name>.insteadOf' config option I stumbled over the undocumented '--get-url' option of 'git ls-remote'. This adds some minimum documentation for that option. And while at it, also add that option to the '-h' output.

* jc/ls-remote-short-help: ls-remote: a lone "-h" is asking for help
2011-09-16ls-remote: a lone "-h" is asking for helpJunio C Hamano
What should happen if you run this command? $ git ls-remote -h It does not give a short-help for the command. Instead because "-h" is a synonym for "--heads", it runs "git ls-remote --heads", and because there is no remote specified on the command line, we run it against the default "origin" remote, hence end up doing the same as $ git ls-remote --heads origin Fix this counter-intuitive behaviour by special casing a lone "-h" that does not have anything else on the command line and calling usage().

2011-05-18ls-remote: the --exit-code option reports "no matching refs"Michael Schubert
The "git ls-remote" uses its exit status to indicate if it successfully talked with the remote repository. A new option "--exit-code" makes the command exit with status "2" when there is no refs to be listed, even when the command successfully talked with the remote repository. This way, the caller can tell if we failed to contact the remote, or the remote did not have what we wanted to see. Of course, you can inspect the output from the command, which has been and will continue to be a valid way to check the same thing.

2011-03-02get_remote_url(): use the same data source as ls-remote to get remote urlsUwe Kleine-König
The formerly implemented algorithm behaved differently to remote.c:remote_get() at least for remotes that contain a slash. While the former just assumes a/b is a path the latter checks the config for remote."a/b" first which is more reasonable. This removes the last user of git-parse-remote.sh:get_data_source(), so this function is removed.

2010-08-16ls-remote: run setup_git_directory_gently() soonerNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
ls-remote already runs a repository search unconditionally to learn about remote nicknames and "[url] insteadof" shortcuts. Run that search a little sooner, and now one can try [pager] ls-remote to automatically paginate ls-remote output, or use repository-local [core] pager = whatever with "git --paginate ls-remote <url>".

2010-05-12ls-remote: print URL when no repo is specifiedTay Ray Chuan
After 9c00de5 (ls-remote: fall-back to default remotes when no remote specified), when no repository is specified, ls-remote may use the URL/remote in the config "branch.<name>.remote" or the remote "origin"; it may not be immediately obvious to the user which was used. In such cases, print a simple "From <URL>" line to indicate which repository was used. This message is similar to git-fetch's, and is printed to stderr to avoid breaking existing scripts that depend on ls-remote's output behaviour. It can also be disabled with -q/--quiet. Modify tests related to falling back on default remotes to check for this as well, and add a test to check for suppression of the message.

2010-04-09ls-remote: fall-back to default remotes when no remote specifiedTay Ray Chuan
Instead of breaking execution when no remote (as specified in the variable dest) is specified when git-ls-remote is invoked, continue on and let remote_get() handle it. This way, we are able to use the default remotes (eg. "origin", branch.<name>.remote), as git-fetch, git-push, and other users of remote_get(), do. If no suitable remote is found, exit with a message describing the issue, instead of just the usage text, as we do previously. Add several tests to check that git-ls-remote handles the no-remote-specified situation. Also add a test that "git ls-remote <pattern>" does not work; we are unable to guess the remote in that situation, as are git-fetch and git-push. In that test, we are testing for messages coming from two separate processes, but we should be OK, because the second message is triggered by closing the fd which must happen after the first message is printed.

2010-02-22Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectoryLinus Torvalds
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n) [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab> builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c you get [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type] builtin/ builtin.h [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief. NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off around 100 choices or something. So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
