2010-09-27perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2. However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open syntax: sub run_cmd_pipe { my $fh = undef; open($fh, '-|', @_) or die; return <$fh>; } Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1): t2016-checkout-patch.sh t3904-stash-patch.sh t3701-add-interactive.sh t7105-reset-patch.sh t7501-commit.sh t9700-perl-git.sh Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using useful features introduced in the 5.8 release. The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old. All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX Solaris and Tru64 systems.

2010-03-05git-svn: support fetch with autocrlf onErik Faye-Lund
Before commit d3c9634e, performing a "git svn rebase" that fetched a change containing CRLFs corrupted the git-svn meta-data. This was worked around in d3c9634e by setting core.autocrlf to "false" in the per-repo config when initing the clone. However, if the config variable was later changed, the corruption would still occur. This patch tries to fix it while allowing core.autocrlf to be enabled, by disabling filters when when hashing. git-svn is currently the only call-site for hash_and_insert_object (apart from the test-suite), so changing it should be safe.

2008-11-14Git.pm: Make _temp_cache use the repository directoryMarten Svanfeldt (dev)
Update the usage of File::Temp->tempfile to place the temporary files within the repository directory instead of just letting Perl decide what directory to use, given there is a repository specified when requesting the temporary file. This is needed to be able to fix git-svn on msys as msysperl generates paths with UNIX-style paths (/tmp/xxx) while the git tools expect natvie path format (c:/..). The repository dir is stored in native format so by using it as the base directory for temporary files we always get a usable native full path.

2008-09-10Git.pm: Use File::Temp->tempfile instead of ->newMarcus Griep
Perl 5.8.0 ships with File::Temp 0.13, which does not have the new() interface introduced in 0.14, as pointed out by Tom G. Christensen. This modifies Git.pm to use the more established tempfile() interface and updates 'git svn' to match.

2008-08-13Git.pm: Add faculties to allow temp files to be cachedMarcus Griep
This patch offers a generic interface to allow temp files to be cached while using an instance of the 'Git' package. If many temp files are created and destroyed during the execution of a program, this caching mechanism can help reduce the amount of files created and destroyed by the filesystem. The temp_acquire method provides a weak guarantee that a temp file will not be stolen by subsequent requests. If a file is locked when another acquire request is made, a simple error is thrown.

2008-08-05Git.pm: localise $? in command_close_bidi_pipe()Abhijit Menon-Sen
Git::DESTROY calls _close_cat_blob and _close_hash_and_insert_object, which in turn call command_close_bidi_pipe, which calls waitpid, which alters $?. If this happens during global destruction, it may alter the program's exit status unexpectedly. Making $? local to the function solves the problem.

2008-07-09Git.pm: Add remote_refs() git-ls-remote frontendPetr Baudis
This patch also converts the good ole' git-remote.perl to use it. It is otherwise used in the repo.or.cz machinery and I guess other scripts might find it useful too. Unfortunately, git-ls-remote --heads . is subtly different from git-ls-remote . refs/heads/ (since the second matches anywhere in the string, not just at the beginning) so we have to provide interface for both.

2008-06-02Git.pm: fix return value of config methodLea Wiemann
If config is called in array context, it is supposed to return all values set for the given option key. This works for all cases except if there is no value set at all. In that case, it wrongly returns (undef) instead of (). This fixes the return statement so that it returns undef in scalar context but an empty array in array context.

2008-05-28Git::cat_blob: allow using an empty blob to fix git-svn breakageJunio C Hamano
Recent "git-svn optimization" series introduced Git::cat_blob() subroutine whose interface was broken in that it returned the size of the blob but signalled an error by returning 0. You can never use an empty blob with such an interface. This fixes the interface to return a negative value to signal an error. Reported by Björn Steinbrink.

2007-12-06Color support for "git-add -i"Junio C Hamano
This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it simpler and more consistent with commands written in C. A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color. A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text. For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape sequence to color the output text. $repo->get_colorbool() method can be used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

2006-09-23Git.pm: Kill Git.xs for nowPetr Baudis
This patch removes Git.xs from the repository for the time being. This should hopefully enable Git.pm to finally make its way to master. Git.xs is not going away forever. When the Git libification makes some progress, it will hopefully return (but most likely as an optional component, due to the portability woes) since the performance boosts are really important for applications like Gitweb or Cogito. It needs to go away now since it is not really reliable in case you use it for several repositories in the scope of a single process, and that is not possible to fix without some either very ugly or very intrusive core changes. Rest in peace. (While you can.) Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-07-09Git.pm: Introduce fast get_object() methodPetr Baudis
Direct .xs routine. Note that it does not work 100% correctly when you juggle multiple repository objects, but it is not that bad either. The trouble is that we might reuse packs information for another Git project; that is not an issue since Git depends on uniqueness of SHA1 ids so if we have found the object somewhere else, it is nevertheless going to be the same object. It merely makes object existence detection through this method unreliable; it is duly noted in the documentation. At least that's how I see it, I hope I didn't overlook any other potential problem. I tested it for memory leaks and it appears to be doing ok. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-09Make it possible to set up libgit directly (instead of from the environment)Petr Baudis
This introduces a setup_git() function which is essentialy a (public) backend for setup_git_env() which lets anyone specify custom sources for the various paths instead of environment variables. Since the repositories may get switched on the fly, this also updates code that caches paths to invalidate them properly; I hope neither of those is a sweet spot. It is used by Git.xs' xs__call_gate() to set up per-repository data for libgit's consumption. No code actually takes advantage of it yet but get_object() will in the next patches.
