2007-09-24git-merge: add --ff and --no-ff optionsLars Hjemli
These new options can be used to control the policy for fast-forward merges: --ff allows it (this is the default) while --no-ff will create a merge commit. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-09-24git-merge: add support for --commit and --no-squashLars Hjemli
These options can be used to override --no-commit and --squash, which is needed since --no-commit and --squash now can be specified as default merge options in $GIT_DIR/config. The change also introduces slightly different behavior for --no-commit: when specified, it explicitly overrides --squash. Earlier, 'git merge --squash --no-commit' would result in a squashed merge (i.e. no $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD was created) but with this patch the command will behave as if --squash hadn't been specified.

2007-09-24git-merge: add support for branch.<name>.mergeoptionsLars Hjemli
This enables per branch configuration of merge options. Currently, the most useful options to specify per branch are --squash, --summary/--no-summary and possibly --strategy, but all options are supported. Note: Options containing whitespace will _not_ be handled correctly. Luckily, the only option which can include whitespace is --message and it doesn't make much sense to give that option a default value.

2007-09-24git-merge: fix faulty SQUASH_MSGLars Hjemli
Only the first 'remote' head is currently specified as an argument to 'git log' when generating a SQUSH_MSG, which makes the generated message fail to mention every commit involved in the merge.

2007-09-23Supplant the "while case ... break ;; esac" idiomDavid Kastrup
A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac and similar. I consider breaking out of the condition instead of the body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance. It happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been replaced by a straight condition using "test". "case" has the advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test" is not a builtin. Since none of them is likely to run the git scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change. A few loops have had their termination condition expressed differently.

2007-09-19Add post-merge hook, related documentation, and tests.Josh England
The post-merge hook enables one to hook in for `git pull` operations in order to check and/or change attributes of a work tree from the hook. As an example, it can be used in combination with a pre-commit hook to save/restore file ownership and permissions data (or file ACLs) within the repository and transparently update the working tree after a `git pull` operation.

2007-09-06Invoke "git gc --auto" from commit, merge, am and rebase.Junio C Hamano
The point of auto gc is to pack new objects created in loose format, so a good rule of thumb is where we do update-ref after creating a new commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-08-28git-merge: do up-to-date check also for all strategiesJunio C Hamano
This clarifies the logic to omit fast-forward check and omit trivial merge before running the specified strategy. The "index_merge" variable started out as a flag to say "do not do anything clever", but when recursive was changed to skip the trivial merge, the semantics were changed and the variable alone does not make sense anymore. This splits the variable into two, allow_fast_forward (which is almost always true, and avoids making a merge commit when the other commit is a descendant of our branch, but is set to false for ours and subtree) and allow_trivial_merge (which is false for ours, recursive and subtree). Unlike the earlier implementation, the "ours" strategy allows an up-to-date condition. When we are up-to-date, the result will be our commit, and by definition, we will have our tree as the result.

2007-07-07Enable "git rerere" by the config variable rerere.enabledJohannes Schindelin
Earlier, "git rerere" was enabled by creating the directory .git/rr-cache. That is definitely not in line with most other features, which are enabled by a config variable. So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set to "false" explicitely, do not activate rerere, even if .git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable rerere temporarily. If "rerere.enabled" is not set at all, fall back to detection of the directory .git/rr-cache.

2007-05-10Add colour support in rebase and merge tree diff stats output.James Bowes
The rebase and merge commands used diff-tree to display the summary stats of what files had changed from the operation. diff-tree does not read the diff ui configuration options, so the diff.color setting was not used.

2007-04-07A new merge stragety 'subtree'.Junio C Hamano
This merge strategy largely piggy-backs on git-merge-recursive. When merging trees A and B, if B corresponds to a subtree of A, B is first adjusted to match the tree structure of A, instead of reading the trees at the same level. This adjustment is also done to the common ancestor tree. If you are pulling updates from git-gui repository into git.git repository, the root level of the former corresponds to git-gui/ subdirectory of the latter. The tree object of git-gui's toplevel is wrapped in a fake tree object, whose sole entry has name 'git-gui' and records object name of the true tree, before being used by the 3-way merge code. If you are merging the other way, only the git-gui/ subtree of git.git is extracted and merged into git-gui's toplevel. The detection of corresponding subtree is done by comparing the pathnames and types in the toplevel of the tree. Heuristics galore! That's the git way ;-).

2007-02-16git-merge: minor fix for no_trivial_merge_strategies.Junio C Hamano
The shell loop to determine if we should skip the trivial in-index merge stage based on what strategy is given was not prepared to have more than one strategy listed in the variable $no_trivial_merge_strategies.

2007-01-13Allow whole-tree operations to be started from a subdirectoryJunio C Hamano
This updates five commands (merge, pull, rebase, revert and cherry-pick) so that they can be started from a subdirectory. This may not actually be what we want to do. These commands are inherently whole-tree operations, and an inexperienced user may mistakenly expect a "git pull" from a subdirectory would merge only the subdirectory the command started from.

2007-01-10Improve merge performance by avoiding in-index merges.Shawn O. Pearce
In the early days of Git we performed a 3-way read-tree based merge before attempting any specific merge strategy, as our core merge strategies of merge-one-file and merge-recursive were slower script based programs which took far longer to execute. This was a good performance optimization in the past, as most merges were able to be handled strictly by `read-tree -m -u`. However now that merge-recursive is a C based program which performs a full 3-way read-tree before it starts running we need to pay the cost of the 3-way read-tree twice if we have to do any sort of file level merging. This slows down some classes of simple merges which `read-tree -m -u` could not handle but which merge-recursive does automatically. For a really trivial merge which can be handled entirely by `read-tree -m -u`, skipping the read-tree and just going directly into merge-recursive saves on average 50 ms on my PowerPC G4 system. May sound odd, but it does appear to be true. In a really simple merge which needs to use merge-recursive to handle a file that was modified on both branches, skipping the read-tree in git-merge saves on average almost 100 ms (on the same PowerPC G4) as we avoid doing some work twice. We only avoid `read-tree -m -u` if the only strategy to use is merge-recursive, as not all merge strategies perform as well as merge-recursive does. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-01-10Disallow working directory commands in a bare repository.Shawn O. Pearce
If the user tries to run a porcelainish command which requires a working directory in a bare repository they may get unexpected results which are difficult to predict and may differ from command to command. Instead we should detect that the current repository is a bare repository and refuse to run the command there, as there is no working directory associated with it.

2007-01-01fail pull/merge early in the middle of conflicted mergeJunio C Hamano
After a pull that results in a conflicted merge, a new user often tries another "git pull" in desperation. When the index is unmerged, merge backends correctly bail out without touching either index nor the working tree, so this does not make the wound any worse. The user will however see several lines of messsages during this process, such as "filename: needs merge", "you need to resolve your current index first", "Merging...", and "Entry ... would be overwritten by merge. Cannot merge.". They are unnecessarily alarming, and cause useful conflict messages from the first pull scroll off the top of the terminal. This changes pull and merge to run "git-ls-files -u" upfront and stop them much earlier than we currently do. Old timers may know better and would not to try pulling again before cleaning things up; this change adds extra overhead that is unnecessary for them. But this would be worth paying for to save new people from needless confusion. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-28Honor pull.{twohead,octopus} in git-merge.Shawn O. Pearce
If git-merge is invoked without a strategy argument it is probably being run as a porcelain-ish command directly and is not being run from within git-pull. However we still should honor whatever merge strategy the user may have selected in their configuration, just as `git-pull .` would have. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-12-28Use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable instead.Shawn O. Pearce
Junio rightly pointed out that the --reflog-action parameter was starting to get out of control, as most porcelain code needed to hand it to other porcelain and plumbing alike to ensure the reflog contained the top-level user action and not the lower-level actions it invoked. At Junio's suggestion we are introducing the new set_reflog_action function to all shell scripts, allowing them to declare early on what their default reflog name should be, but this setting only takes effect if the caller has not already set the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable.

2006-12-23Display 'theirs' branch name when possible in merge.Shawn O. Pearce
Displaying the SHA1 of 'their' branch (the branch being merged into the current branch) is not nearly as friendly as just displaying the name of that branch, especially if that branch is already local to this repository. git-merge now sets the environment variable 'GITHEAD_%(sha1)=%(name)' for each argument it gets passed, making the actual input name that resolved to the commit '%(sha1)' easily available to the invoked merge strategy. git-merge-recursive makes use of these environment variables when they are available by using '%(name)' whenever it outputs the commit identification rather than '%(sha1)'. This is most obvious in the conflict hunks created by xdl_merge: $ git mege sideb~1 <<<<<<< HEAD:INSTALL Good! ======= Oops. >>>>>>> sideb~1:INSTALL [jc: adjusted a test script and a minor constness glitch.] Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-12-22merge and reset: adjust for "reset --hard" messagesJunio C Hamano
An earlier commit made "reset --hard" chattier but leaking its message from "git rebase" (which calls it when first rewinding the current branch to prepare replaying our own changes) without explanation was confusing, so add an extra message to mention it. Inside restorestate in merge (which is rarely exercised codepath, where more than one strategies are attempted), resetting to the original state uses "reset --hard" -- this can be squelched entirely.

This teaches the oft-requested syntax git merge $commit to implement merging the named commit to the current branch. This hopefully would make "git merge" usable as the first class UI instead of being a mere backend for "git pull". Most notably, $commit above can be any committish, so you can say for example: git merge js/shortlog~2 to merge early part of a topic branch without merging the rest of it.
