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.
