2018-11-02tests: optionally skip `git rebase -p` testsJohannes Schindelin
The `--preserve-merges` mode of the `rebase` command is slated to be deprecated soon, as the more powerful `--rebase-merges` mode is available now, and the latter was designed with the express intent to address the shortcomings of `--preserve-merges`' design (e.g. the inability to reorder commits in an interactive rebase). As such, we will eventually even remove the `--preserve-merges` support, and along with it, its tests. In preparation for this, and also to allow the Windows phase of our automated tests to save some well-needed time when running the test suite, this commit introduces a new prerequisite REBASE_P, which can be forced to being unmet by setting the environment variable `GIT_TEST_SKIP_REBASE_P` to any non-empty string.

2018-08-06pull --rebase=<type>: allow single-letter abbreviations for the typeJohannes Schindelin
Git for Windows' original 4aa8b8c8283 (Teach 'git pull' to handle --rebase=interactive, 2011-10-21) had support for the very convenient abbreviation git pull --rebase=i which was later lost when it was ported to the builtin `git pull`, and it was not introduced before the patch eventually made it into Git as f5eb87b98dd (pull: allow interactive rebase with --rebase=interactive, 2016-01-13). However, it is *really* a useful short hand for the occasional rebasing pull on branches that do not usually want to be rebased. So let's reintroduce this convenience, at long last.

2018-07-11has_uncommitted_changes(): fall back to empty treeJeff King
If has_uncommitted_changes() can't resolve HEAD (e.g., because it's unborn or corrupt), then we end up calling run_diff_index() with an empty revs.pending array. This causes a segfault, as run_diff_index() blindly looks at the first pending item. Fixing this raises a question of fault: should run_diff_index() handle this case, or is the caller wrong to pass an empty pending list? Looking at the other callers of run_diff_index(), they handle this in one of three ways: - they resolve the object themselves, and avoid doing the diff if it's not valid - they resolve the object themselves, and fall back to the empty tree - they use setup_revisions(), which will die() if the object isn't valid Since this is the only broken caller, that argues that the fix should go there. Falling back to the empty tree makes sense here, as we'd claim uncommitted changes if and only if the index is non-empty. This may be a little funny in the case of corruption (the corrupt HEAD probably _isn't_ empty), but: - we don't actually know the reason here that HEAD didn't resolve (the much more likely case is that we have an unborn HEAD, in which case the empty tree comparison is the right thing) - this matches how other code, like "git diff", behaves While we're thinking about it, let's add an assertion to run_diff_index(). It should always be passed a single object, and as this bug shows, it's easy to get it wrong (and an assertion is easier to hunt down than a segfault, or a quietly ignored extra tree).

2017-07-17rebase: make resolve message clearer for inexperienced usersWilliam Duclot
The git UI can be improved by addressing the error messages to those they help: inexperienced and casual git users. To this intent, it is helpful to make sure the terms used in those messages can be understood by this segment of users, and that they guide them to resolve the problem. In particular, failure to apply a patch during a git rebase is a common problem that can be very destabilizing for the inexperienced user. It is important to lead them toward the resolution of the conflict (which is a 3-steps process, thus complex) and reassure them that they can escape a situation they can't handle with "--abort". This commit answer those two points by detailling the resolution process and by avoiding cryptic git linguo.

2017-06-01pull: ff --rebase --autostash works in dirty repoTyler Brazier
When `git pull --rebase --autostash` in a dirty repository resulted in a fast-forward, nothing was being autostashed and the pull failed. This was due to a shortcut to avoid running rebase when we can fast-forward, but autostash is ignored on that codepath. Now we will only take the shortcut if autostash is not in effect. Based on a few tests against the git.git repo, the shortcut does not seem to give us significant performance benefits, on Linux at least. Regardless, it is more important to be correct than to be fast. Signed-off-by: Tyler Brazier <tyler@tylerbrazier.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-05-20pull: warn on --verify-signatures with --rebaseAlexander Hirsch
git-pull silently ignores the --verify-signatures option when running --rebase, potentially leaving users in the belief that the rebase operation would check for valid GPG signatures. Implementing --verify-signatures for git-rebase was talked about, but doubts for a valid workflow rose up. Since you usually merge other's branches into your branch you might have an interest that their side has a valid GPG signature. Rebasing, on the other hand, is to rebuild your branch on top of other's work, in order to push the result back, and it is too late to reject their work even if you find their commits lack acceptable signature. Let's warn users that the --verify-signatures option is ignored during "pull --rebase"; users do not wonder what would happen if their commits lack acceptable signature that way.

2016-01-13pull: allow interactive rebase with --rebase=interactiveJohannes Schindelin
A couple of years ago, I found the need to collaborate on topic branches that were rebased all the time, and I really needed to see what I was rebasing when pulling, so I introduced an interactively-rebasing pull. The way builtin pull works, this change also supports the value 'interactive' for the 'branch.<name>.rebase' config variable, which is a neat thing because users can now configure given branches for interactively-rebasing pulls without having to type out the complete `--rebase=interactive` option every time they pull.

2015-06-02pull: handle git-fetch's options as wellPaul Tan
While parsing the command-line arguments, git-pull stops parsing at the first unrecognized option, assuming that any subsequent options are for git-fetch, and can thus be kept in the shell's positional parameters list, so that it can be passed to git-fetch via the expansion of "$@". However, certain functions in git-pull assume that the positional parameters do not contain any options: * error_on_no_merge_candidates() uses the number of positional parameters to determine which error message to print out, and will thus print the wrong message if git-fetch's options are passed in as well. * the call to get_remote_merge_branch() assumes that the positional parameters only contains the optional repo and refspecs, and will thus silently fail if git-fetch's options are passed in as well. * --dry-run is a valid git-fetch option, but if provided after any git-fetch options, it is not recognized by git-pull and thus git-pull will continue to run the merge or rebase. Fix these bugs by teaching git-pull to parse git-fetch's options as well. Add tests to prevent regressions. This removes the limitation where git-fetch's options have to come after git-merge's and git-rebase's options on the command line. Update the documentation to reflect this.

This is usually because the user provided a wildcard refspec which had no matches on the remote end. 2. We fetched from a non-default remote, but didn't specify a branch to merge. We can't use the configured one because it applies to the default remote, and thus the user must specify the branches to merge. 3. We fetched from the branch's or repo's default remote, but: a. We are not on a branch, so there will never be a configured branch to merge with. b. We are on a branch, but there is no configured branch to merge with. 4. We fetched from the branch's or repo's default remote, but the configured branch to merge didn't get fetched (either it doesn't exist, or wasn't part of the configured fetch refspec) Implement tests for the above 5 cases to ensure that the correct code paths are triggered for each of these cases.

2013-06-20pull: merge into unborn by fast-forwarding from empty treeThomas Rast
The logic for pulling into an unborn branch was originally designed to be used on a newly-initialized repository (d09e79c, git-pull: allow pulling into an empty repository, 2006-11-16). It thus did not initially deal with uncommitted changes in the unborn branch. The case of an _unstaged_ untracked file was fixed by 4b3ffe5 (pull: do not clobber untracked files on initial pull, 2011-03-25). However, it still clobbered existing staged files, both when the file exists in the merged commit (it will be overwritten), and when it does not (it will be deleted). We fix this by doing a two-way merge, where the "current" side of the merge is an empty tree, and the "target" side is HEAD (already updated to FETCH_HEAD at this point). This amounts to claiming that all work in the index was done vs. an empty tree, and thus all content of the index is precious. Note that this use of read-tree just gives us protection against overwriting index and working tree changes. It will not actually result in a 3-way merge conflict in the index. This is fine, as this is a rare situation, and the conflict would not be interesting anyway (it must, by definition, be an add/add conflict with the whole content conflicting). And it makes it simpler for the user to recover, as they have no HEAD to "git reset" back to.

Prior to c85c792 (pull --rebase: be cleverer with rebased upstream branches, 2008-01-26), pull --rebase would run git rebase $merge_head which resulted in a call to git format-patch ... --ignore-if-in-upstream $merge_head..$cur_branch This resulted in patches from $merge_head..$cur_branch being applied, as long as they did not already exist in $cur_branch..$merge_head. Unfortunately, when upstream is rebased, $merge_head..$cur_branch also refers to "old" commits that have already been rebased upstream, meaning that many patches that were already fixed upstream would be reapplied. This could result in many spurious conflicts, as well as reintroduce patches that were intentionally dropped upstream. So the algorithm was changed in c85c792 (pull --rebase: be cleverer with rebased upstream branches, 2008-01-26) and d44e712 (pull: support rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebase, 2009-07-19). Defining $old_remote_ref to be the most recent entry in the reflog for @{upstream} that is an ancestor of $cur_branch, pull --rebase was changed to run git rebase --onto $merge_head $old_remote_ref which results in a call to git format-patch ... --ignore-if-in-upstream $old_remote_ref..$cur_branch The whole point of this change was to reduce the number of commits being reapplied, by avoiding commits that upstream already has or had. In the rebased upstream case, this change achieved that purpose. It is worth noting, though, that since $old_remote_ref is always an ancestor of $cur_branch (by its definition), format-patch will not know what upstream is and thus will not be able to determine if any patches are already upstream; they will all be reapplied. In the non-rebased upstream case, this new form is usually the same as the original code but in some cases $old_remote_ref can be an ancestor of $(git merge-base $merge_head $cur_branch) meaning that instead of avoiding reapplying commits that upstream already has, it actually includes more such commits. Combined with the fact that format-patch can no longer detect commits that are already upstream (since it is no longer told what upstream is), results in lots of confusion for users (e.g. "git is giving me lots of conflicts in stuff I didn't even change since my last push.") Cases where additional commits could be reapplied include forking from a commit other than the tracking branch, or amending/rebasing after pushing. Cases where the inability to detect upstreamed commits cause problems include independent discovery of a fix and having your patches get upstreamed by some alternative route (e.g. pulling your changes to a third machine, pushing from there, and then going back to your original machine and trying to pull --rebase). Fix the non-rebased upstream case by ignoring $old_remote_ref whenever it is contained in $(git merge-base $merge_head $cur_branch). This should have no affect on the rebased upstream case.

2010-05-31tests: use "test_cmp", not "diff", when verifying the resultGary V. Vaughan
In tests, call test_cmp rather than raw diff where possible (i.e. if the output does not go to a pipe), to allow the use of, say, 'cmp' when the default 'diff -u' is not compatible with a vendor diff. When that is not possible, use $DIFF, as set in GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS. Signed-off-by: Gary V. Vaughan <gary@thewrittenword.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-08-12allow pull --rebase on branch yet to be bornJeff King
When doing a "pull --rebase", we check to make sure that the index and working tree are clean. The index-clean check compares the index against HEAD. The test erroneously reports dirtiness if we don't have a HEAD yet. In such an "unborn branch" case, by definition, a non-empty index won't be based on whatever we are pulling down from the remote, and will lose the local change. Just check if $GIT_DIR/index exists and error out. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-07-19pull: support rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebaseSanti Béjar
You cannot do a "git pull --rebase" with a rebased upstream, if you have already run "git fetch". Try to behave as if the "git fetch" was not run. In other words, find the fork point of the current branch, where the tip of upstream branch used to be, and use it as the upstream parameter of "git rebase". This patch computes the fork point by walking the reflog to find the first commit which is an ancestor of the current branch. Maybe there are smarter ways to compute it, but this is a straight forward implementation. Signed-off-by: Santi Béjar <santi@agolina.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-07-19t5520-pull: Test for rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebaseSanti Béjar
If your upstream has rebased you can do: git pull --rebase but only if you haven't fetch before. Mark this case as test_expect_failure, in a later patch it will be changed to test_expect_success. Signed-off-by: Santi Béjar <santi@agolina.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-06-12parse-remote: support default reflist in get_remote_merge_branchSanti Béjar
Expand get_remote_merge_branch to compute the tracking branch to merge when called without arguments (or only the remote name). This allows "git pull --rebase" without arguments (default upstream branch) to work with a rebased upstream. With explicit arguments it already worked. Also add a test to check for this case.
