2009-03-27log-tree: fix patch filename computation in "git format-patch"Christian Couder
When using "git format-patch", "get_patch_filename" in "log-tree.c" calls "strbuf_splice" that could die with the following message: "`pos + len' is too far after the end of the buffer" if you have: buf->len < start_len + FORMAT_PATCH_NAME_MAX but: buf->len + suffix_len > start_len + FORMAT_PATCH_NAME_MAX This patch tries to get rid of that bug.

2009-03-23format-patch: --attach/inline uses filename instead of SHA1Stephen Boyd
Currently when format-patch is used with --attach or --inline the patch attachment has the SHA1 of the commit for its filename. This replaces the SHA1 with the filename used by format-patch when outputting to files. Fix tests relying on the SHA1 output and add a test showing how the --suffix option affects the attachment filename output.

2009-02-22format-patch: track several referencesThomas Rast
Currently, format-patch can only track a single reference (the In-Reply-To:) for each mail. To ensure proper threading, we should list all known references for every mail. Change the rev_info.ref_message_id field to a string_list, so that we can append references at will, and change the output formatting routines to print all of them in the References: header. The last entry in the list is implicitly assumed to be the In-Reply-To:, which gives output consistent with RFC 2822: The "References:" field will contain the contents of the parent's "References:" field (if any) followed by the contents of the parent's "Message-ID:" field (if any). Note that this is just preparatory work; nothing uses it yet, so all "References:" fields in the output are still only one deep.

2009-02-14log: do not print ellipses with --abbrev-commitThomas Rast
'git log --abbrev-commit' added an ellipsis to all commit names that were abbreviated. This was particularly annoying if you wanted to cut&paste the sha1 from the terminal, since selecting by word would pick up '...' too. So use find_unique_abbrev() instead of diff_unique_abbrev() in all log-related commit sha1 printing routines, and also change the formatting of the 'Merge: parent1 parent2' line output via pretty_print_commit().

2008-11-16Fix machine-parseability of 'git log --source'Linus Torvalds
The space between the commit and the source attribute is not easily machine-parseable: if we combine --source with --parents and give a SHA1 as a starting point, it's unnecessarily hard to see where the list of parents ends and the source decoration begins. Example: git show --parents --source $(git rev-list HEAD) which is admittedly contrived, but can easily happen in scripting. So use a <tab> instead of a space as the source separator. The other decorations didn't have this issue, because they were surrounded by parenthesis, so it's obvious that they aren't parent SHA1's. It so happens that _visually_ this makes no difference for "git log --source", since "commit <40-char SHA1>" is 47 characters, so both a space and a <tab> will end up showing as a single commit. Of course, with '--pretty=oneline' or '--parents' or '--abbrev-commit' you'll see the difference.

2008-11-04Add a 'source' decorator for commitsLinus Torvalds
We already support decorating commits by tags or branches that point to them, but especially when we are looking at multiple branches together, we sometimes want to see _how_ we reached a particular commit. We can abuse the '->util' field in the commit to keep track of that as we walk the commit lists, and get a reasonably useful view into which branch or tag first reaches that commit. Of course, if the commit is reachable through multiple sources (which is common), our particular choice of "first" reachable is entirely random and depends on the particular path we happened to follow.

2008-07-30format-patch: Produce better output with --inline or --attachKevin Ballard
This patch makes two small changes to improve the output of --inline and --attach. The first is to write a newline preceding the boundary. This is needed because MIME defines the encapsulation boundary as including the preceding CRLF (or in this case, just LF), so we should be writing one. Without this, the last newline in the pre-diff content is consumed instead. The second change is to always write the line termination character (default: newline) even when using --inline or --attach. This is simply to improve the aesthetics of the resulting message. When using --inline an email client should render the resulting message identically to the non-inline version. And when using --attach this adds a blank line preceding the attachment in the email, which is visually attractive.

With the --graph option, the graph already outputs 'o' instead of '*' for boundary commits. Make it emit '<' or '>' when --left-right is specified. (This change also disables the '^' prefix for UNINTERESTING commits. The graph code currently doesn't print anything special for these commits, since it assumes no UNINTERESTING, non-BOUNDARY commits are displayed.

2008-04-10log: teach "terminator" vs "separator" mode to "--pretty=format"Junio C Hamano
This attached patch introduces a single bit "use_terminator" in "struct rev_info", which is normally false (i.e. most formats use separator semantics) but by flipping it to true, you can ask for terminator semantics just like oneline format does. The function get_commit_format(), which is what parses "--pretty=" option, now takes a pointer to "struct rev_info" and updates its commit_format and use_terminator fields. It used to return the value of type "enum cmit_fmt", but all the callers assigned it to rev->commit_format. There are only two cases the code turns use_terminator on. Obviously, the traditional oneline format (--pretty=oneline) is one of them, and the new case is --pretty=tformat:... that acts like --pretty=format:... but flips the bit on. With this, "--pretty=tformat:%H %s" acts like --pretty=oneline. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-03-15format-patch: generate MIME header as needed even when there is format.headerJunio C Hamano
Earlier, the callchain from pretty_print_commit() down to pp_title_line() had an unwarranted assumption that the presense of "after_subject" parameter, means the caller has already output MIME headers for attachments. The parameter's primary purpose is to give extra header lines the caller wants to place after pp_title_line() generates the "Subject: " line. This assumption does not hold when the user used the format.header configuration variable to pass extra headers, and caused a message with non-ASCII character to lack proper MIME headers (e.g. 8-bit CTE header). The earlier logic also failed to suppress duplicated MIME headers when "format-patch -s --attach" is asked for and the signer's name demanded 8-bit clean transport. This patch fixes the logic by introducing a separate need_8bit_cte parameter passed down the callchain. This can have one of these values: -1 : we've already done MIME crap and we do not want to add extra header to say this is 8bit in pp_title_line(); 0 : we haven't done MIME and we have not seen anything that is 8bit yet; 1 : we haven't done MIME and we have seen something that is 8bit; pp_title_line() must add MIME header. It adds two tests by Jeff King who independently diagnosed this issue. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-02-13Add "--show-all" revision walker flag for debuggingLinus Torvalds
It's really not very easy to visualize the commit walker, because - on purpose - it obvously doesn't show the uninteresting commits! This adds a "--show-all" flag to the revision walker, which will make it show uninteresting commits too, and they'll have a '^' in front of them (it also fixes a logic error for !verbose_header for boundary commits - we should show the '-' even if left_right isn't shown). A separate patch to gitk to teach it the new '^' was sent to paulus. With the change in place, it actually is interesting even for the cases that git doesn't have any problems with, ie for the kernel you can do: gitk -d --show-all v2.6.24.. and you see just how far down it has to parse things to see it all. The use of "-d" is a good idea, since the date-ordered toposort is much better at showing why it goes deep down (ie the date of some of those commits after 2.6.24 is much older, because they were merged from trees that weren't rebased). So I think this is a useful feature even for non-debugging - just to visualize what git does internally more. When it actually breaks out due to the "everybody_uninteresting()" case, it adds the uninteresting commits (both the one it's looking at now, and the list of pending ones) to the list This way, we really list *all* the commits we've looked at. Because we now end up listing commits we may not even have been parsed at all "show_log" and "show_commit" need to protect against commits that don't have a commit buffer entry. That second part is debatable just how it should work. Maybe we shouldn't show such entries at all (with this patch those entries do get shown, they just don't get any message shown with them). But I think this is a useful case. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-10-16Clean up "git log" format with DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUTLinus Torvalds
This fixes an unnecessary empty line that we add to the log message when we generate diffs, but don't actually end up printing any due to having DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT set. This can happen with pickaxe or with rename following. The reason is that we normally add an empty line between the commit and the diff, but we do that even for the case where we've then suppressed the actual printing of the diff. This also updates a couple of tests that assumed the extraneous empty line would exist at the end of output.

2007-07-01Don't fflush(stdout) when it's not helpfulTheodore Ts'o
This patch arose from a discussion started by Jim Meyering's patch whose intention was to provide better diagnostics for failed writes. Linus proposed a better way to do things, which also had the added benefit that adding a fflush() to git-log-* operations and incremental git-blame operations could improve interactive respose time feel, at the cost of making things a bit slower when we aren't piping the output to a downstream program. This patch skips the fflush() calls when stdout is a regular file, or if the environment variable GIT_FLUSH is set to "0". This latter can speed up a command such as: GIT_FLUSH=0 strace -c -f -e write time git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l a tiny amount.

2007-06-13Lift 16kB limit of log message outputJunio C Hamano
Traditionally we had 16kB limit when formatting log messages for output, because it was easier to arrange for the caller to have a reasonably big buffer and pass it down without ever worrying about reallocating. This changes the calling convention of pretty_print_commit() to lift this limit. Instead of the buffer and remaining length, it now takes a pointer to the pointer that points at the allocated buffer, and another pointer to the location that stores the allocated length, and reallocates the buffer as necessary. To support the user format, the error return of interpolate() needed to be changed. It used to return a bool telling "Ok the result fits", or "Sorry, I had to truncate it". Now it returns 0 on success, and returns the size of the buffer it wants in order to fit the whole result. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-02-07Fix "git log -z" behaviourLinus Torvalds
For commit messages, we should really put the "line_termination" when we output the character in between different commits, *not* between the commit and the diff. The diff goes hand-in-hand with the commit, it shouldn't be separated from it with the termination character. So this: - uses the termination character for true inter-commit spacing - uses a regular newline between the commit log and the diff We had it the other way around. For the normal case where the termination character is '\n', this obviously doesn't change anything at all, since we just switched two identical characters around. So it's very safe - it doesn't change any normal usage, but it definitely fixes "git log -z". By fixing "git log -z", you can now also do insane things like git log -p -z | grep -z "some patch expression" | tr '\0' '\n' | less -S and you will see only those commits that have the "some patch expression" in their commit message _or_ their patches. (This is slightly different from 'git log -S"some patch expression"', since the latter requires the expression to literally *change* in the patch, while the "git log -p -z | grep .." approach will see it if it's just an unchanged _part_ of the patch context) Of course, if you actually do something like the above, you're probably insane, but hey, it works! Try the above command line for a demonstration (of course, you need to change the "some patch expression" to be something relevant). The old behaviour of "git log -p -z" was useless (and got things completely wrong for log entries without patches).
