2007-09-14git-clone: improve error message if curl program is missing or not executableGerrit Pape
If the curl program is not available (or not executable), and git clone is started to clone a repository through http, this is the output Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/puppet/.git/ /usr/bin/git-clone: line 37: curl: command not found Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there? This patch improves the error message by checking the return code when running curl to exit immediately if it's 126 or 127; the error output now is Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/puppet/.git/ /usr/bin/git-clone: line 37: curl: command not found Adrian Bridgett noticed this and reported through http://bugs.debian.org/440976 Signed-off-by: Gerrit Pape <pape@smarden.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-08-02git-clone: aggressively optimize local clone behaviour.Junio C Hamano
This changes the behaviour of cloning from a repository on the local machine, by defaulting to "-l" (use hardlinks to share files under .git/objects) and making "-l" a no-op. A new option, --no-hardlinks, is also added to cause file-level copy of files under .git/objects while still avoiding the normal "pack to pipe, then receive and index pack" network transfer overhead. The old behaviour of local cloning without -l nor -s is availble by specifying the source repository with the newly introduced file:///path/to/repo.git/ syntax (i.e. "same as network" cloning). * With --no-hardlinks (i.e. have all .git/objects/ copied via cpio) would not catch the source repository corruption, and also risks corrupted recipient repository if an alpha-particle hits memory cell while indexing and resolving deltas. As long as the recipient is created uncorrupted, you have a good back-up. * same-as-network is expensive, but it would catch the breakage of the source repository. It still risks corrupted recipient repository due to hardware failure. As long as the recipient is created uncorrupted, you have a good back-up. * The new default on the same filesystem, as long as the source repository is healthy, it is very likely that the recipient would be, too. Also it is very cheap. You do not get any back-up benefit, though. None of the method is resilient against the source repository corruption, so let's discount that from the comparison. Then the difference with and without --no-hardlinks matters primarily if you value the back-up benefit or not. If you want to use the cloned repository as a back-up, then it is cheaper to do a clone with --no-hardlinks and two git-fsck (source before clone, recipient after clone) than same-as-network clone, especially as you are likely to do a git-fsck on the recipient if you are so paranoid anyway. Which leads me to believe that being able to use file:/// is probably a good idea, if only for testability, but probably of little practical value. We default to hardlinked clone for everyday use, and paranoids can use --no-hardlinks as a way to make a back-up. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

c2f599e09fd0496413d1744b5b89b9b5c223555d introduced a buglet while cloning from a remote URL; we forgot to squelch the unnecessary error message when we try to cd to the given "remote" name, in order to see if it is a local directory. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-05-10git-clone: don't get fooled by $PWDJunio C Hamano
If you have /home/me/git symlink pointing at /pub/git/mine, trying to clone from /pub/git/his/ using relative path would not work as expected: $ cd /home/me $ cd git $ ls ../ his mine $ git clone -l -s -n ../his/stuff.git This is because "cd ../his/stuff.git" done inside git-clone to check if the repository is local is confused by $PWD, which is set to /home/me, and tries to go to /home/his/stuff.git which is different from /pub/git/his/stuff.git. We could probably say "set -P" (or "cd -P") instead, if we know the shell is POSIX, but the way the patch is coded is probably more portable.

2007-02-24Fixup no-progress for fetch & cloneJohannes Schindelin
The intent of the commit 'fetch & clone: do not output progress when not on a tty' was to make fetching and cloning less chatty when output was not redirected (such as in a cron job). However, there was a serious thinko in that commit. It assumed that the client _and_ the server got this update at the same time. But this is obviously not the case, and therefore upload-pack died on seeing the option "--no-progress". This patch fixes that issue by making it a protocol option. So, until your server is updated, you still see the progress, but once the server has this patch, it will be quiet. A minor issue was also fixed: when cloning, the checkout did not heed no_progress.

2007-02-20fetch & clone: do not output progress when not on a ttyJohannes Schindelin

2007-02-07git-clone --reference: work well with pack-ref'ed reference repositoryJunio C Hamano
Earlier we only used loose refs to anchor already existing objects. When cloning from a repository that forked relatively long time ago from the reference repository, this made the want/have exchange by fetch-pack to do unnecessary work. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-02-04git-clone --reference: saner handling of borrowed symrefs.Junio C Hamano
When using --reference to borrow objects from a neighbouring repository while cloning, we copy the entire set of refs under temporary "refs/reference-tmp/refs" space and set up the object alternates. However, a textual symref copied this way would not point at the right place, and causes later steps to emit error messages (which is harmless but still alarming). This is most visible when using a clone created with the separate-remote layout as a reference, because such a repository would have refs/remotes/origin/HEAD with 'ref: refs/remotes/origin/master' as its contents. Although we do not create symbolic-link based refs anymore, they have the same problem because they are always supposed to be relative to refs/ hierarchy (we dereference by hand, so it only is good for HEAD and nothing else). In either case, the solution is simply to remove them after copying under refs/reference-tmp; if a symref points at a true ref, that true ref itself is enough to ensure that objects reachable from it do not needlessly get fetched.

2007-01-31Escape --upload-pack from expr.Shawn O. Pearce
Recent commit ae1dffcb28ee89a23f8d2747be65e17c8eab1690 by Junio changed the way --upload-pack was passed around between clone, fetch and ls-remote and modified the handling of the command line parameter parsing. Unfortunately FreeBSD 6.1 insists that the expression expr --upload-pack=git-upload-pack : '-[^=]*=\(.*\)' is illegal, as the --upload-pack option is not supported by their implementation of expr. Elsewhere in Git we use z as a leading prefix of both arguments, ensuring the -- isn't seen by expr. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-12-29Allow non-fast-forward of remote tracking branches in default cloneJunio C Hamano
This changes the default remote.origin.fetch configuration created by git-clone so that it allows non-fast-forward updates. When using the separate-remote layout with reflog enabled, it does not make much sense to refuse to update the remote tracking branch just because some of them do not fast-forward. git-fetch issues warnings on non-fast-forwardness, and the user can peek at what the previous state was using the reflog.

2006-12-16git-clone: lose the traditional 'no-separate-remote' layoutJunio C Hamano
Finally. The separate-remote layout is so much more organized than traditional and easier to work with especially when you need to deal with remote repositories with multiple branches and/or you need to deal with more than one remote repositories, and using traditional layout for new repositories simply does not make much sense. Internally we still have code for 1:1 mappings to create a bare clone; that is a good thing and will not go away. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-16git-clone: lose the artificial "first" fetch refspecJunio C Hamano
Now we lost the "first refspec is the one that is merged by default" rule, there is no reason for clone to list the remote primary branch in the config file explicitly anymore. We still need it for the traditional layout for other reasons, though. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-16git-clone: use wildcard specification for tracking branchesJunio C Hamano
This stops enumerating the set of branches found on the remote side when a clone was made in the configuration file. Instead, a single entry that maps each remote branch to the local tracking branch for the remote under the same name is created. Doing it this way not only shortens the configuration file, but automatically adjusts to a new branch added on the remote side after the clone is made. Unfortunately this cannot be done for the traditional layout, where we always need to special case the 'master' to 'origin' mapping within the local branch namespace. But that is Ok; it will be going away before v1.5.0. We could also lose the "primary branch" mapping at the beginning, but that has to wait until we implement the "forbid 'git pull' when we do not have branch.$current.merge for the current branch" policy we earlier discussed. That should also be in v1.5.0 Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-06Explicitly add the default "git pull" behaviour to .git/config on cloneAndy Parkins
Without any specification in the .git/config file, git-pull will execute "git-pull origin"; which in turn defaults to pull from the first "pull" definition for the remote, "origin". This is a difficult set of defaults to track for a new user, and it's difficult to see what tells git to do this (especially when it is actually hard-coded behaviour). To ameliorate this slightly, this patch explicitly specifies the default behaviour during a clone using the "branch" section of the config. For example, a clone of a typical repository would create a .git/config containing: [remote "origin"] url = proto://host/repo.git fetch = refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master The [branch "master"] section is such that there is no change to the functionality of git-pull, but that functionality is now explicitly documented.

2006-12-04git-clone: Rename --use-immingled-remote option to --no-separate-remoteJakub Narebski
With making --use-separate-remote default when creating non-bare clone, there was need for the flag which would turn off this behavior. It was called --use-immingled-remote. Immingle means to blend, to combine into one, to intermingle, but it is a bit obscure word. I think it would be better to use simply --no-separate-remote as the opposite to --use-separate-remote option to git clone.

For example what was previously .git/remotes/origin URL: proto://host/path Pull: refs/heads/master:refs/heads/origin Is now added to .git/config as [remote "origin"] url = proto://host/path fetch = refs/heads/master:refs/heads/origin Signed-off-by: Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-11-25git-clone: stop dumb protocol from copying refs outside heads/ and tags/.Junio C Hamano
