2007-02-05Commands requiring a work tree must not run in GIT_DIRJohannes Schindelin
This patch helps when you accidentally run something like git-clean in the git directory instead of the work tree. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-01-12Explain "Not a git repository: '.git'".Junio C Hamano
Andy Parkins noticed that the error message some "whole tree" oriented commands emit is stated misleadingly when they refused to run from a subdirectory. We could probably allow some of them to work from a subdirectory but that is a semantic change that could have unintended side effects, so let's start at first by rewording the error message to be easier to read without doing anything else to be safe.

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. [jc: updated Shawn's original somewhat -- bugs are mine.] Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-08git-fetch: allow updating the current branch in a bare repository.Junio C Hamano
Sometimes, people have only fetch access into a bare repository that is used as a back-up location (or a distribution point) but does not have a push access for networking reasons, e.g. one end being behind a firewall, and updating the "current branch" in such a case is perfectly fine. This allows such a fetch without --update-head-ok, which is a flag that should never be used by end users otherwise. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
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.

2006-08-12git-sh-setup: do not use repo-config to test the git directoryJunio C Hamano
Since repo-config does not fail in non-git directory, it is not a good command to use to test the git-ness nor validate the repository revision of $GIT_DIR. Original patch by Robert Shearman but with minor fixes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-04-14"git cmd -h" for shell scripts.Junio C Hamano
Wrappers that use sh-setup took --help but not -h. Noticed by Sébastien Pierre. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-02-12Avoid using "git-var -l" until it gets fixed.Junio C Hamano
This is to be nicer to people with unusable GECOS field. "git-var -l" is currently broken in that when used by a user who does not have a usable GECOS field and has not corrected it by exporting GIT_COMMITTER_NAME environment variable it dies when it tries to output GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT (same thing for AUTHOR). "git-pull" used "git-var -l" only because it needed to get a configuration variable before "git-repo-config --get" was introduced. Use the latter tool designed exactly for this purpose. "git-sh-setup" used "git-var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT" without actually wanting to use its value. The only purpose was to cause the command to check and barf if the repository format version recorded in the $GIT_DIR/config file is too new for us to deal with correctly. Instead, use "repo-config --get" on a random property and see if it die()s, and check if the exit status is 128 (comes from die -- missing variable is reported with exit status 1, so we can tell that case apart).

2005-12-14Usage message clean-up, take #2Fredrik Kuivinen
There were some problems with the usage message clean-up patch series. I hadn't realised that subdirectory aware scripts can't source git-sh-setup. I propose that we change this and let the scripts which are subdirectory aware set a variable, SUBDIRECTORY_OK, before they source git-sh-setup. The scripts will also set USAGE and possibly LONG_USAGE before they source git-sh-setup. If LONG_USAGE isn't set it defaults to USAGE. If we go this way it's easy to catch --help in git-sh-setup, print the (long) usage message to stdout and exit cleanly. git-sh-setup can define a 'usage' shell function which can be called by the scripts to print the short usage string to stderr and exit non-cleanly. It will also be easy to change $0 to basename $0 or something else, if would like to do that sometime in the future. What follows is a patch to convert a couple of the commands to this style. If it's ok with everyone to do it this way I will convert the rest of the scripts too. [jc: thrown in to proposed updates queue for comments.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-25git-sh-setup: move the repository check to a core program.Junio C Hamano
Any core commands that use setup_git_directory() now check if given GIT_DIR is really a valid repository, so the same check in git-sh-setup can use it without reimplementing it in shell. This commit changes git-sh-setup to use git-var command for that, although any other commands would do. Note that we export GIT_DIR explicitly when calling git-var; without it, the caller of this script would use GIT_DIR that we return (which is to assume ./.git unless the caller has it elsewhere) while git-var would go up to find a .git directory in our parent directories, which would be checking a different directory from what our callers will be using.

2005-11-25git-sh-setup: die if outside git repository.Junio C Hamano
Now all the users of this script detect its exit status and die, complaining that it is outside git repository. So move the code that dies from all callers to git-sh-setup script. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-10-08Create object subdirectories on demandLinus Torvalds
This makes it possible to have a "sparse" git object subdirectory structure, something that has become much more attractive now that people use pack-files all the time. As a result of pack-files, a git object directory doesn't necessarily have any individual objects lying around, and in that case it's just wasting space to keep the empty first-level object directories around: on many filesystems the 256 empty directories will be aboue 1MB of diskspace. Even more importantly, after you re-pack a project that _used_ to be unpacked, you could be left with huge directories that no longer contain anything, but that waste space and take time to look through. With this change, "git prune-packed" can just do an rmdir() on the directories, and they'll get removed if empty, and re-created on demand. This patch also tries to fix up "write_sha1_from_fd()" to use the new common infrastructure for creating the object files, closing a hole where we might otherwise leave half-written objects in the object database. [jc: I unoptimized the part that really removes the fan-out directories to ease transition. init-db still wastes 1MB of diskspace to hold 256 empty fan-outs, and prune-packed rmdir()'s the grown but empty directories, but runs mkdir() immediately after that -- reducing the saving from 150KB to 146KB. These parts will be re-introduced when everybody has the on-demand capability.] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-10-02Add git-symbolic-refJunio C Hamano
This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read and create "symbolic refs". By default it uses a symbolic link to represent ".git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master", but it can be compiled to use the textfile symbolic ref. The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah .git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so that they can deal with either implementation.

2005-09-27Do not require clean tree when reverting and cherry-picking.Junio C Hamano
My stupidity deserved to be yelled at by Linus ... there is no reason to require the working tree to be clean when merging -- the only requirements are index to match HEAD commit and the paths involved in merge are up to date in the working tree. Revert and cherry-pick are just specialized forms of merge, and the requirements should be the same. Remove the 'general purpose routine to make sure tree is clean' from git-sh-setup, to prevent me from getting tempted again. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-13Fix CDPATH problem.Junio C Hamano
CDPATH has two problems: * It takes scripts to unexpected places (somebody had CDPATH=..:../..:$HOME and the "cd" in git-clone.sh:get_repo_base took him to $HOME/.git when he said "clone foo bar" to clone a repository in "foo" which had "foo/.git"). CDPATH mechanism does not implicitly give "." at the beginning of CDPATH, which is the most irritating part. * The extra echo when it does its thing confuses scripts further. Most of our scripts that use "cd" includes git-sh-setup so the problem is primarily fixed there. git-clone starts without a repository, and it needs its own fix.

2005-09-08Big tool rename.Junio C Hamano
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
