"git cherry-pick" without further options would segfault. Could use a follow-up to handle '-' after argv[1] better. * hu/cherry-pick-previous-branch: cherry-pick: handle "-" after parsing options
2013-10-10cherry-pick: handle "-" after parsing optionsJeff King
Currently, we only try converting argv[1] from "-" into "@{-1}". This means we do not notice "-" when used together with an option. Worse, when "git cherry-pick" is run with no options, we segfault. Fix this by doing the substitution after we have checked that there is something in argv to cherry-pick and know any remaining options are meant for the revision-listing machinery. This still does not handle "-" after the first non-cherry-pick option. For example, git cherry-pick foo~2 - bar~5 and git cherry-pick --no-merges - will still dump usage.

"-" abbreviation is handy for "cherry-pick" like "checkout" and "merge". It's also good for uniformity that a "-" stands as the name of the previous branch where a branch name is accepted and it could not mean any other things like stdin.

2013-08-07revert: use the OPT_CMDMODE for parsing, reducing codeStefan Beller
The revert command comes with their own implementation of checking for exclusiveness of parameters. Now that the OPT_CMDMODE is in place, we can also rely on that macro instead of cooking that solution for each command itself. This commit also replaces OPT_BOOLEAN, which was deprecated by b04ba2bb (parse-options: deprecate OPT_BOOLEAN, 2011-09-27). Instead OPT_BOOL is used.

2012-08-30cherry-pick/revert: respect order of revisions to pickMartin von Zweigbergk
When giving multiple individual revisions to cherry-pick or revert, as in 'git cherry-pick A B' or 'git revert B A', one would expect them to be picked/reverted in the order given on the command line. They are instead ordered by their commit timestamp -- in chronological order for "cherry-pick" and in reverse chronological order for "revert". This matches the order in which one would usually give them on the command line, making this bug somewhat hard to notice. Still, it has been reported at least once before [1]. It seems like the chronological sorting happened by accident because the revision walker has traditionally always sorted commits in reverse chronological order when rev_info.no_walk was enabled. In the case of 'git revert B A' where B is newer than A, this sorting is a no-op. For 'git cherry-pick A B', the sorting would reverse the arguments, but because the sequencer also flips the rev_info.reverse flag when picking (as opposed to reverting), the end result is a chronological order. The rev_info.reverse flag was probably flipped so that the revision walker emits B before C in 'git cherry-pick A..C'; that it happened to effectively undo the unexpected sorting done when not walking, was probably a coincidence that allowed this bug to happen at all. Fix the bug by telling the revision walker not to sort the commits when not walking. The only case we want to reverse the order is now when cherry-picking and walking revisions (rev_info.no_walk = 0).

2012-08-30teach log --no-walk=unsorted, which avoids sortingMartin von Zweigbergk
When 'git log' is passed the --no-walk option, no revision walk takes place, naturally. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, however, the provided revisions still get sorted by commit date. So e.g 'git log --no-walk HEAD HEAD~1' and 'git log --no-walk HEAD~1 HEAD' give the same result (unless the two revisions share the commit date, in which case they will retain the order given on the command line). As the commit that introduced --no-walk (8e64006 (Teach revision machinery about --no-walk, 2007-07-24)) points out, the sorting is intentional, to allow things like git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk to show all refs in order by commit date. But there are also other cases where the sorting is not wanted, such as <command producing revisions in order> | git log --oneline --no-walk --stdin To accomodate both cases, leave the decision of whether or not to sort up to the caller, by allowing --no-walk={sorted,unsorted}, defaulting to 'sorted' for backward-compatibility reasons.

The command line parser choked "git cherry-pick $name" when $name can be both revision name and a pathname, even though $name can never be a path in the context of the command. The issue the patch addresses is real, but the way it is implemented felt unnecessarily invasive a bit. It may be cleaner for this caller to add the "--" to the end of the argv_array it passes to setup_revisions().

2012-04-24git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits optionNeil Horman
The git-cherry-pick --allow-empty command by default only preserves empty commits that were originally empty, i.e only those commits for which <commit>^{tree} and <commit>^^{tree} are equal. By default commits which are non-empty, but were made empty by the inclusion of a prior commit on the current history are filtered out. This option allows us to override that behavior and include redundant commits as empty commits in the change history. Note that this patch changes the default behavior of git cherry-pick slightly. Prior to this patch all commits in a cherry-pick sequence were applied and git commit was run. The implication here was that, if a commit was redundant, and the commit did not trigger the fast forward logic, the git commit operation, and therefore the git cherry-pick operation would fail, displaying the cherry pick advice (i.e. run git commit --allow-empty). With this patch however, such redundant commits are automatically skipped without stopping, unless --keep-redundant-commits is specified, in which case, they are automatically applied as empty commits.

Expose the cherry-picking machinery through a public sequencer_pick_revisions() (renamed from pick_revisions() in builtin/revert.c), so that cherry-picking and reverting are special cases of a general sequencer operation. The cherry-pick builtin is now a thin wrapper that does command-line argument parsing before calling into sequencer_pick_revisions(). In the future, we can write a new "foo" builtin that calls into the sequencer like: memset(&opts, 0, sizeof(opts)); opts.action = REPLAY_FOO; opts.revisions = xmalloc(sizeof(*opts.revs)); parse_args_populate_opts(argc, argv, &opts); init_revisions(opts.revs); sequencer_pick_revisions(&opts); This patch does not intend to make any functional changes.

2011-12-12revert: do not remove state until sequence is finishedJonathan Nieder
As v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~4 (2011-08-04) explains, git cherry-pick removes the sequencer state just before applying the final patch. In the single-pick case, that was a good thing, since --abort and --continue work fine without access to such state and removing it provides a signal that git should not complain about the need to clobber it ("a cherry-pick or revert is already in progress") in sequences like the following: git cherry-pick foo git read-tree -m -u HEAD; # forget that; let's try a different one git cherry-pick bar After the recent patch "allow single-pick in the middle of cherry-pick sequence" we don't need that hack any more. In the new regime, a traditional "git cherry-pick <commit>" command never looks at .git/sequencer, so we do not need to cripple "git cherry-pick <commit>..<commit>" for it any more. So now you can run "git cherry-pick --abort" near the end of a multi-pick sequence and it will abort the entire sequence, instead of misbehaving and aborting just the final commit.

2011-12-12revert: allow cherry-pick --continue to commit before resumingJonathan Nieder
When "git cherry-pick ..bar" encounters conflicts, permit the operator to use cherry-pick --continue after resolving them as a shortcut for "git commit && git cherry-pick --continue" to record the resolution and carry on with the rest of the sequence. This improves the analogy with "git rebase" (in olden days --continue was the way to preserve authorship when a rebase encountered conflicts) and fits well with a general UI goal of making "git cmd --continue" save humans the trouble of deciding what to do next. Example: after encountering a conflict from running "git cherry-pick foo bar baz": CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in main.c error: could not apply f78a8d98c... bar! hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>' hint: and commit the result with 'git commit' We edit main.c to resolve the conflict, mark it acceptable with "git add main.c", and can run "cherry-pick --continue" to resume the sequence. $ git cherry-pick --continue [editor opens to confirm commit message] [master 78c8a8c98] bar! 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) [master 87ca8798c] baz! 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) This is done for both codepaths to pick multiple commits and a single commit.

2011-11-23revert --abort: do not leave behind useless sequencer-old directoryJonathan Nieder
The "git cherry-pick --abort" command currently renames the .git/sequencer directory to .git/sequencer-old instead of removing it on success due to an accident. cherry-pick --abort is designed to work in three steps: 1) find which commit to roll back to 2) call "git reset --merge <commit>" to move to that commit 3) remove the .git/sequencer directory But the careless author forgot step 3 entirely. The only reason the command worked anyway is that "git reset --merge <commit>" renames the .git/sequencer directory as a secondary effect --- after moving to <commit>, or so the logic goes, it is unlikely but possible that the caller of git reset wants to continue the series of cherry-picks that was in progress, so git renames the sequencer state to .git/sequencer-old to be helpful while allowing the cherry-pick to be resumed if the caller did not want to end the sequence after all. By running "git cherry-pick --abort", the operator has clearly indicated that she is not planning to continue cherry-picking. Remove the (renamed) .git/sequencer directory as intended all along.

This also makes it possible for scripts to distinguish between a revert that encountered conflicts and other sources of an unmerged index.

However, the error message on attempting step 3 is more convoluted than necessary: $ git cherry-pick HEAD..origin error: .git/sequencer already exists. error: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress. hint: Use --continue to continue the operation hint: or --quit to forget about it fatal: cherry-pick failed Clarify by removing the redundant first "error:" message, simplifying the advice, and using lower-case and no full stops to be consistent with other commands that prefix their messages with "error:", so it becomes error: a cherry-pick or revert is already in progress hint: try "git cherry-pick (--continue | --quit)" fatal: cherry-pick failed The "fatal: cherry-pick failed" line seems unnecessary, too, but that can be fixed some other day.

2011-11-22revert: rename --reset option to --quitJonathan Nieder
The option to "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" to discard the sequencer state introduced by v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~6 (revert: Introduce --reset to remove sequencer state, 2011-08-04) has a confusing name. Change it now, while we still have the time. The new name for "cherry-pick, please get out of my way, since I've long forgotten about the sequence of commits I was cherry-picking when you wrote that old .git/sequencer directory" is --quit. Mnemonic: this is analagous to quiting a program the user is no longer using --- we just want to get out of the multiple-command cherry-pick procedure and not to reset HEAD or rewind any other old state. The "--reset" option is kept as a synonym to minimize the impact. We might consider dropping it for simplicity in a separate patch, though. Adjust documentation and tests to use the newly preferred name (--quit) instead of --reset. While at it, let's clarify the short descriptions of these operations in "-h" output. Before: --reset forget the current operation --continue continue the current operation After: --quit end revert or cherry-pick sequence --continue resume revert or cherry-pick sequence Noticed-by: Phil Hord <phil.hord@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-11-17do not let git_path clobber errno when reporting errorsJonathan Nieder
Because git_path() calls vsnprintf(), code like fd = open(git_path("SQUASH_MSG"), O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0666); die_errno(_("Could not write to '%s'"), git_path("SQUASH_MSG")); can end up printing an error indicator from vsnprintf() instead of open() by mistake. Store the path we are trying to write to in a temporary variable and pass _that_ to die_errno(), so the messages written by git cherry-pick/revert and git merge can avoid this source of confusion.

2011-11-16revert: prettify fatal messagesRamkumar Ramachandra
Some of the fatal messages printed by revert and cherry-pick look ugly like the following: fatal: Could not open .git/sequencer/todo.: No such file or directory The culprit here is that these callers of the die_errno() function did not take it into account that the message string they give to it is followed by ": <strerror>", hence the message typically should not end with the full-stop.
