checkout: allow detaching to HEAD even when switching to the tip of a branch
Updated documentation of hooks in git-receive-pack.
Allow fetching references from any namespace
tiny fix in documentation of git-clone
Fix an unmatched comment end in arm/sha1_arm.S
You cannot currently checkout the tip of an existing branch
without moving to the branch.
This allows you to detach your HEAD and place it at such a
commit, with:
$ git checkout master^0

git-cvsserver has a bug in its configuration file output parser
that makes it choke if the configuration has these:
[diff]
color = auto
[diff.color]
whitespace = blue reverse
This needs to be fixed, but thanks to that bug, a separate bug
in t9400 test script was discovered. The test discarded
GIT_CONFIG instead of pointing at the proper one to be used in
the exoprted repository. This allowed user's .gitconfig and (if
exists) systemwide /etc/gitconfig to affect the outcome of the
test, which is a big no-no.
The patch fixes the problem in the test. Fixing the
git-cvsserver's configuration parser is left as an exercise to
motivated volunteers ;-)

not only from the three defined: heads, tags and remotes.
Noticed when I tried to fetch the references created by git-p4-import.bat:
they are placed into separate namespace (refs/p4import/, to avoid showing
them in git-branch output). As canon_refs_list_for_fetch always prepended
refs/heads/ it was impossible, and annoying: it worked before. Normally,
the p4import references are useless anywhere but in the directory managed
by perforce, but in this special case the cloned directory was supposed
to be a backup, including the p4import branch: it keeps information about
where the imported perforce state came from.

Both archive-tar and archive-zip needed to be taught about subprojects.
The tar function died when trying to read the subproject commit object,
while the zip function reported "unsupported file mode".
This fixes both by representing the subproject as an empty directory.

When switching from a branch with both x86_64/boot/Makefile and
i386/boot/Makefile to another branch that has x86_64/boot as a
symlink pointing at ../i386/boot, the code incorrectly removed
i386/boot/Makefile.
This was because we first removed everything under x86_64/boot
to make room to create a symbolic link x86_64/boot, then removed
x86_64/boot/Makefile which no longer exists but now is pointing
at i386/boot/Makefile, thanks to the symlink we just created.
This fixes it by using the has_symlink_leading_path() function
introduced previously for git-apply in the checkout codepath.
Earlier, "git checkout" was broken in t4122 test due to this
bug, and the test had an extra "git reset --hard" as a
workaround, which is removed because it is not needed anymore.

HPA noticed that git-rebase fails when changes involve symlinks
in the middle of the hierarchy. Consider:
* The tree state before the patch is applied has arch/x86_64/boot
as a symlink pointing at ../i386/boot/
* The patch tries to remove arch/x86_64/boot symlink, and
create bunch of files there: .gitignore, Makefile, etc.
git-apply tries to be careful while applying patches; it never
touches the working tree until it is convinced that the patch
would apply cleanly. One of the check it does is that when it
knows a path is going to be created by the patch, it runs
lstat() on the path to make sure it does not exist.
This leads to a false alarm. Because we do not touch the
working tree before all the check passes, when we try to make
sure that arch/x86_64/boot/.gitignore does not exist yet, we
haven't removed the arch/x86_64/boot symlink. The lstat() check
ends up seeing arch/i386/boot/.gitignore through the
yet-to-be-removed symlink, and says "Hey, you already have a
file there, but what you fed me is a patch to create a new
file. I am not going to clobber what you have in the working
tree."
We have similar checks to see a file we are going to modify does
exist and match the preimage of the diff, which is done by
directly opening and reading the file.
For a file we are going to delete, we make sure that it does
exist and matches what is going to be removed (a removal patch
records the full preimage, so we check what you have in your
working tree matches it in full -- otherwise we would risk
losing your local changes), which again is done by directly
opening and reading the file.
These checks need to be adjusted so that they are not fooled by
symlinks in the middle.
- To make sure something does not exist, first lstat(). If it
does not exist, it does not, so be happy. If it _does_, we
might be getting fooled by a symlink in the middle, so break
leading paths and see if there are symlinks involved. When
we are checking for a path a/b/c/d, if any of a, a/b, a/b/c
is a symlink, then a/b/c/d does _NOT_ exist, for the purpose
of our test.
This would fix this particular case you saw, and would not
add extra overhead in the usual case.
- To make sure something already exists, first lstat(). If it
does not exist, barf (up to this, we already do). Even if it
does seem to exist, we might be getting fooled by a symlink
in the middle, so make sure leading paths are not symlinks.
This would make the normal codepath much more expensive for
deep trees, which is a bit worrisome.
This patch implements the first side of the check "making sure
it does not exist". The latter "making sure it exists" check is
not done yet, so applying the patch in reverse would still
fail, but we have to start from somewhere.

When we are applying a patch that creates a blob at a path, or
when we are switching from a branch that does not have a blob at
the path to another branch that has one, we need to make sure
that there is nothing at the path in the working tree, as such a
file is a local modification made by the user that would be lost
by the operation.
Normally, lstat() on the path and making sure ENOENT is returned
is good enough for that purpose. However there is a twist. We
may be creating a regular file arch/x86_64/boot/Makefile, while
removing an existing symbolic link at arch/x86_64/boot that
points at existing ../i386/boot directory that has Makefile in
it. We always first check without touching filesystem and then
perform the actual operation, so when we verify the new file,
arch/x86_64/boot/Makefile, does not exist, we haven't removed
the symbolic link arc/x86_64/boot symbolic link yet. lstat() on
the file sees through the symbolic link and reports the file is
there, which is not what we want.
The function has_symlink_leading_path() function takes a path,
and sees if any of the leading directory component is a symbolic
link.
When files in a new directory are created, we tend to process
them together because both index and tree are sorted. The
function takes advantage of this and allows the caller to cache
and reuse which symbolic link on the filesystem caused the
function to return true.
The calling sequence would be:
char last_symlink[PATH_MAX];
*last_symlink = '\0';
for each index entry {
if (!lose)
continue;
if (lstat(it))
if (errno == ENOENT)
; /* happy */
else
error;
else if (has_symlink_leading_path(it, last_symlink))
; /* happy */
else
error; /* would lose local changes */
unlink_entry(it, last_symlink);
}

Pointed out by Chris Riddoch.
Note that this is pretty much just a proposal; I didn't test if everything
fits perfectly right, but things seem to be pretty much okay. repo.or.cz
uses it now as a test drive - if you find any visual quirks, please point
them out, with a patch if possible since I'm total CSS noob and debugging
CSS is an extremely painful experience for me.
Note that this patch actually does change visual look of gitweb in Firefox
with my resolution and default settings - everything is bigger and I can't
explain the joy of actually seeing gitweb text that is in _readable_ size;
also, my horizontal screen real estate feels better used now. But judging
from the look of most modern webpages on the 'net, most people prefer
reading the web with strained eyes and/or a magnifying glass (I wonder what
species of scientists should look into this mystifying phenomenon) - so,
please tell us what you think.
Maybe we might want to get rid of absolute sizes other than font sizes in
the CSS file too in the long term.

git-clone: don't get fooled by $PWD
Fix documentation of tag in git-fast-import.txt
If you have /home/me/git symlink pointing at /pub/git/mine,
trying to clone from /pub/git/his/ using relative path would not
work as expected:
$ cd /home/me
$ cd git
$ ls ../
his mine
$ git clone -l -s -n ../his/stuff.git
This is because "cd ../his/stuff.git" done inside git-clone to
check if the repository is local is confused by $PWD, which is
set to /home/me, and tries to go to /home/his/stuff.git which is
different from /pub/git/his/stuff.git.
We could probably say "set -P" (or "cd -P") instead, if we know
the shell is POSIX, but the way the patch is coded is probably
more portable.

gitweb URLs use the a= parameter for the view to use on the given path, such
as "blob" or "tree". Currently, if a gitweb URL omits the a= parameter,
gitweb just shows the top-level repository summary, regardless of the path
given. gitweb could instead choose an appropriate view based on the file
type: blob for blobs (files), tree for trees (directories), and summary if
no path given (the URL included no f= parameter, or an empty f= parameter).
Apart from making gitweb more robust and supporting URL editing more easily,
this change would aid the creation of shortcuts to git repositories using
simple substitution, such as:
http://example.org/git/?p=path/to/repo.git;hb=HEAD;f=%s
With this patch, if given the hash through the h= parameter, or the hash
base (hb=) and a filename (f=), gitweb uses cat-file -t to automatically set
the a= parameter.

Rather than storing the temporary commit message data in .msg (in
the working tree) we now store the message data in .git/MERGE_MSG.
By storing the message in the .git/ directory we are sure we will
never have a collision with a user file, should a project actually
have a ".msg" file in their top level tree. We also don't need to
worry about leaving this stale file behind during a `reset --hard`
and have it show up in the output of status.
We are using .git/MERGE_MSG here to store the temporary message as
it is an already established convention between git-merge, git-am
and git-rebase that git-commit will default the user's edit buffer
to the contents of .git/MERGE_MSG. If the user is going to need
to resolve this commit or wants to edit the message on their own
prepping that file with the desired message "just works".

We can use [list ...] rather than "", especially when we are talking
about values as then they are properly escaped if necessary. Small
nit, but probably not a huge deal as the only data being inlined here
is Tk paths.
Some of the lines in the parser code were longer than 80 characters
wide, and they actually were all the same value on the end part of
the line. Rather than keeping the mess copied-and-pasted around we
can set the last argument into a local variable and reuse it many
times.
The commit display code was also rather difficult to read on an 80
character wide terminal, so I'm moving it all into a double quoted
string that is easier to read.

If the user doesn't give us a revision parameter to our blame
subcommand then we can generate blame against the working tree
file by passing the file path off to blame with the --contents
argument. In this case we cannot obtain the contents of the
file from the ODB; instead we must obtain the contents by
reading the working directory file as-is.

The browser subcommand now optionally accepts a single revision
argument; if no revision argument is supplied then we use the
current branch as the tree to browse. This is very common, so
its a nice option.
Our blame subcommand now tries to perform the same assumptions
as the command line git-blame; both the revision and the file
are optional. We assume the argument is a filename if the file
exists in the working directory, otherwise we assume the argument
is a revision name. A -- can be supplied between the two to force
parsing, or before the filename to force it to be a filename.

I think it was Andy Parkins who pointed out that git gui blame HEAD f
does not work if f is in a subdirectory and we are currently running
git-gui within that subdirectory. This is happening because we did
not take the user's prefix into account when we computed the file
path in the repository.
We now assume the prefix as returned by rev-parse --show-prefix is
valid and we use that during the command line blame subcommand when
we apply the parameters.
