2020-11-19t3[5-9]*: adjust the references to the default branch name "main"Johannes Schindelin
This trick was performed via $ (cd t && sed -i -e 's/master/main/g' -e 's/MASTER/MAIN/g' \ -e 's/Master/Main/g' -- t3[5-9]*.sh) This allows us to define `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=main` for those tests.

2020-11-19tests: mark tests relying on the current default for `init.defaultBranch`Johannes Schindelin
In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default. To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to force-set the default branch name to `master` in - all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`, - t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to initialize the default branch, - t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`, - t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also uses `master`) This trick was performed by this command: $ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\ GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\ export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\ ' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \ t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly: $ git checkout HEAD -- \ t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \ t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \ t/t1305-config-include.sh t/t1309-early-config.sh \ t/t1402-check-ref-format.sh t/t1450-fsck.sh \ t/t2024-checkout-dwim.sh \ t/t2106-update-index-assume-unchanged.sh \ t/t3040-subprojects-basic.sh t/t3301-notes.sh \ t/t3308-notes-merge.sh t/t3423-rebase-reword.sh \ t/t3436-rebase-more-options.sh \ t/t4015-diff-whitespace.sh t/t4257-am-interactive.sh \ t/t5323-pack-redundant.sh t/t5401-update-hooks.sh \ t/t5511-refspec.sh t/t5526-fetch-submodules.sh \ t/t5529-push-errors.sh t/t5530-upload-pack-error.sh \ t/t5548-push-porcelain.sh \ t/t5552-skipping-fetch-negotiator.sh \ t/t5572-pull-submodule.sh t/t5608-clone-2gb.sh \ t/t5614-clone-submodules-shallow.sh \ t/t7508-status.sh t/t7606-merge-custom.sh \ t/t9302-fast-import-unpack-limit.sh We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were modified thusly: $ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\ GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\ export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\ ' t/t980[0167]*.sh t/t9811*.sh Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The commit labels used to explain each side of conflicted hunks placed by the sequencer machinery have been made more readable by humans. * en/sequencer-merge-labels: sequencer: avoid garbled merge machinery messages due to commit labels
2020-08-14sequencer: avoid garbled merge machinery messages due to commit labelsElijah Newren
sequencer's get_message() exists to provide good labels on conflict hunks; see commits d68565402a ("revert: clarify label on conflict hunks", 2010-03-20) bf975d379d ("cherry-pick, revert: add a label for ancestor", 2010-03-20) 043a4492b3 ("sequencer: factor code out of revert builtin", 2012-01-11). for background on this function. These labels are of the form <commitID>... <commit summary> or parent of <commitID>... <commit summary> These labels are then passed as branch names to the merge machinery. However, these labels, as formatted, often also serve to confuse. For example, if we have a rename involved in a content merge, then it results in text such as the following: <<<<<<<< HEAD:foo.c int j; ======== int counter; >>>>>>>> b01dface... Removed unnecessary stuff:bar.c Or in various conflict messages, it can make it very difficult to read: CONFLICT (rename/delete): foo.c deleted in b01dface... Removed unnecessary stuff and renamed in HEAD. Version HEAD of foo.c left in tree. CONFLICT (file location): dir1/foo.c added in b01dface... Removed unnecessary stuff inside a directory that was renamed in HEAD, suggesting it should perhaps be moved to dir2/foo.c. Make a minor change to remove the ellipses and add parentheses around the commit summary; this makes all three examples much easier to read: <<<<<<<< HEAD:foo.c int j; ======== int counter; >>>>>>>> b01dface (Removed unnecessary stuff):bar.c CONFLICT (rename/delete): foo.c deleted in b01dface (Removed unnecessary stuff) and renamed in HEAD. Version HEAD of foo.c left in tree.

2020-08-06t: don't spuriously close and reopen quotesMartin Ågren
In the test scripts, the recommended style is, e.g.: test_expect_success 'name' ' do-something somehow && do-some-more testing ' When using this style, any single quote in the multi-line test section is actually closing the lone single quotes that surround it. It can be a non-issue in practice: test_expect_success 'sed a little' ' sed -e 's/hi/lo/' in >out # "ok": no whitespace in s/hi/lo/ ' Or it can be a bug in the test, e.g., because variable interpolation happens before the test even begins executing: v=abc test_expect_success 'variable interpolation' ' v=def && echo '"$v"' # abc ' Change several such in-test single quotes to use double quotes instead or, in a few cases, drop them altogether. These were identified using some crude grepping. We're not fixing any test bugs here, but we're hopefully making these tests slightly easier to grok and to maintain. There are legitimate use cases for closing a quote and opening a new one, e.g., both '\'' and '"'"' can be used to produce a literal single quote. I'm not touching any of those here.

2019-04-17commit/reset: try to clean up sequencer statePhillip Wood
When cherry-picking or reverting a sequence of commits and if the final pick/revert has conflicts and the user uses `git commit` to commit the conflict resolution and does not run `git cherry-pick --continue` then the sequencer state is left behind. This can cause problems later. In my case I cherry-picked a sequence of commits the last one of which I committed with `git commit` after resolving some conflicts, then a while later, on a different branch I aborted a revert which rewound my HEAD to the end of the cherry-pick sequence on the previous branch. Avoid this potential problem by removing the sequencer state if we're committing or resetting the final pick in a sequence.

2018-07-27merge-recursive: preserve skip_worktree bit when necessaryElijah Newren
merge-recursive takes any files marked as unmerged by unpack_trees, tries to figure out whether they can be resolved (e.g. using renames or a file-level merge), and then if they can be it will delete the old cache entries and writes new ones. This means that any ce_flags for those cache entries are essentially cleared when merging. Unfortunately, if a file was marked as skip_worktree and it needs a file-level merge but the merge results in the same version of the file that was found in HEAD, we skip updating the worktree (because the file was unchanged) but clear the skip_worktree bit (because of the delete-cache-entry-and-write-new-one). This makes git treat the file as having a local change in the working copy, namely a delete, when it should appear as unchanged despite not being present. Avoid this problem by copying the skip_worktree flag in this case. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-10-28merge & sequencer: turn "Conflicts:" hint into a commentJunio C Hamano
Just like other hints such as "Changes to be committed" we show in the editor to remind the committer what paths were involved in the resulting commit to help improving their log message, this section is merely a reminder. Traditionally, it was not made into comments primarily because it has to be generated outside the wt-status infrastructure, and also because it was meant as a bit stronger reminder than the others (i.e. explaining how you resolved conflicts is much more important than mentioning what you did to every paths involved in the commit). But that still does not make this hint a part of the log message proper, and not showing it as a comment is inviting mistakes. Note that we still notice "Conflicts:" followed by list of indented pathnames as an old-style cruft and insert a new Signed-off-by: before it. This is so that "commit --amend -s" adds the new S-o-b at the right place when used on an older commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Instead, write the signed-off-by line early, so plain 'git commit' will have the same result. Also update 'git commit -s', so that in case there is already a relevant Signed-off-by line before the Conflicts: line, it won't add one more at the end of the message.

2012-02-22cherry-pick: No advice to commit if --no-commitPhil Hord
When cherry-pick fails it offers a helpful hint about how to proceed. The hint tells the user how to do the cleanup needed by the conflicted cherry-pick and finish the job after conflict resolution. In case of cherry-pick --no-commit, the hint goes too far. It tells the user to finish up with 'git commit'. That is not what this git-cherry-pick was trying to do in the first place. Restrict the hint in case of --no-commit to avoid giving this extra advice. Also, add a test verifying the reduced hint for the --no-commit version of cherry-pick.

2011-11-22revert: write REVERT_HEAD pseudoref during conflicted revertJonathan Nieder
When conflicts are encountered while reverting a commit, it can be handy to have the name of that commit easily available. For example, to produce a copy of the patch to refer to while resolving conflicts: $ git revert 2eceb2a8 error: could not revert 2eceb2a8... awesome, buggy feature $ git show -R REVERT_HEAD >the-patch $ edit $(git diff --name-only) Set a REVERT_HEAD pseudoref when "git revert" does not make a commit, for cases like this. This also makes it possible for scripts to distinguish between a revert that encountered conflicts and other sources of an unmerged index. After successfully committing, resetting with "git reset", or moving to another commit with "git checkout" or "git reset", the pseudoref is no longer useful, so remove it.

2011-10-06revert.c: defer writing CHERRY_PICK_HEAD till it is safe to do soJay Soffian
do_pick_commit() writes out CHERRY_PICK_HEAD before invoking merge (either via do_recursive_merge() or try_merge_command()) on the assumption that if the merge fails it is due to conflict. However, if the tree is dirty, the merge may not even start, aborting before do_pick_commit() can remove CHERRY_PICK_HEAD. Instead, defer writing CHERRY_PICK_HEAD till after merge has returned. At this point we know the merge has either succeeded or failed due to conflict. In either case, we want CHERRY_PICK_HEAD to be written so that it may be picked up by the subsequent invocation of commit. Note that do_recursive_merge() aborts if the merge cannot start, while try_merge_command() returns a non-zero value other than 1.

2011-02-22Teach commit about CHERRY_PICK_HEADJay Soffian
Previously the user was advised to use commit -c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD after a conflicting cherry-pick. While this would preserve the original commit's authorship, it would sadly discard cherry-pick's carefully crafted MERGE_MSG (which contains the list of conflicts as well as the original commit-id in the case of cherry-pick -x). On the other hand, if a bare 'commit' were performed, it would preserve the MERGE_MSG while resetting the authorship. In other words, there was no way to simultaneously take the authorship from CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and the commit message from MERGE_MSG. This change fixes that situation. A bare 'commit' will now take the authorship from CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and the commit message from MERGE_MSG. If the user wishes to reset authorship, that must now be done explicitly via --reset-author. A side-benefit of passing commit authorship along this way is that we can eliminate redundant authorship parsing code from revert.c.

2011-02-22Introduce CHERRY_PICK_HEADJay Soffian
When a cherry-pick conflicts git advises: $ git commit -c <original commit id> to preserve the original commit message and authorship. Instead, let's record the original commit id in CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and advise: $ git commit -c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD A later patch teaches git to handle the '-c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD' part. Note that we record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even in the case where there are no conflicts so that we may use it to communicate authorship to commit; this will then allow us to remove set_author_ident_env from revert.c. However, we do not record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD when --no-commit is used, as presumably the user intends to further edit the commit and possibly even cherry-pick additional commits on top.

2010-03-21revert: clarify label on conflict hunksJonathan Nieder
When reverting a commit, the commit being merged is not the commit to revert itself but its parent. Add “parent of” to the conflict hunk label to make this more clear. The conflict hunk labels are all pieces of a single string written in the new get_message() function. Avoid some complication by using mempcpy to advance a pointer as the result is written. Also free the corresponding temporary buffer (it was leaked before). This is not important because it is a small one-time allocation. It would become a memory leak if unnoticed when libifying revert. This patch uses calls to strlen() instead of integer constants in some places. GCC will compute the length at compile time; I am not sure about other compilers, but this is not performance-critical anyway.
