efed002249 merge/pull: verify GPG signatures of commits being merged
When --verify-signatures is specified on the command-line of git-merge
or git-pull, check whether the commits being merged have good gpg
signatures and abort the merge in case they do not. This allows e.g.
auto-deployment from untrusted repo hosts.

ce4c4d4ec3 pull: Apply -q and -v options to rebase mode as well
git pull passed -q and -v only to git merge, but they can be useful for
git rebase as well, so pass them there, too.

In particular, using -q shuts up the "Already up-to-date." message.
Especially, a new test script runs the same "pull --rebase" twice to
make sure both cases are quiet, when it has something to fetch and
when it is already up to date.

e980765c59 git-pull: Avoid merge-base on detached head
git pull --rebase does some clever tricks to find the base
for $upstream, but it forgets that we may not have any
branch at all.  When this happens, git merge-base reports its
"usage" help in the middle of an otherwise successful
rebase operation, because git-merge is called with one too
few parameters.

Since we do not need the merge-base trick in the case of a
detached HEAD, detect this condition and bypass the clever
trick and the usage noise.

3c02396adc Make git-{pull,rebase} message without tracking information friendlier
The current message is too long and at too low a level for anybody
to understand it if they don't know about the configuration format
already.

The text about setting up a remote is superfluous and doesn't help
understand or recover from the error that has happened.  Show the
usage more prominently and explain how to set up the tracking
information. If there is only one remote, that name is used instead
of the generic <remote>.

Also simplify the message we print on detached HEAD to remove
unnecessary information which is better left for the documentation.

8580830084 "git pull" doesn't know "--edit"
Ok, so now "git merge" defaults to editing when interactive - lovely. But
when testing that, I noticed that while you can say

   git merge --[no-]edit ..branch..

that does not work with "git pull". You get a message like

  error: unknown option `no-edit'
  usage: git fetch [<options>] [<repository> [<refspec>...]]
     or: git fetch [<options>] <group>
     or: git fetch --multiple [<options>] [(<repository> | <group>)...]
     or: git fetch --all [<options>]

      -v, --verbose         be more verbose
      -q, --quiet           be more quiet
      --all                 fetch from all remotes
  ...

which is because that stupid shell script doesn't know about the new
flags, and just passes it to "git fetch" instead.

Now, I really wanted to just make "git pull" a built-in instead of that
nasty shell script, but I'm lazy. So here's the trivial updates to
git-pull.sh to at least teach it about -e/--edit/--no-edit.

6b37dff17f pull: introduce a pull.rebase option to enable --rebase
Currently we either need to set branch.<name>.rebase for existing
branches if we'd like "git pull" to mean "git pull --rebase", or have
the forethought of setting "branch.autosetuprebase" before we create
the branch.

Introduce a "pull.rebase" option to globally configure "git pull" to
mean "git pull --rebase" for any branch.

This option will be considered at a lower priority than
branch.<name>.rebase, i.e. we could set pull.rebase=true and
branch.<name>.rebase=false and the latter configuration option would
win.

035b5bf643 pull,rebase: handle GIT_WORK_TREE better
You can't currently run git-pull or git-rebase from outside
of the work tree, even with GIT_WORK_TREE set, due to an
overeager require_work_tree function. Commit e2eb527
documents this problem and provides the infrastructure for a
fix, but left it to later commits to audit and update
individual scripts.

Changing these scripts to use require_work_tree_exists is
easy to verify. We immediately call cd_to_toplevel, anyway.
Therefore no matter which function we use, the state
afterwards is one of:

  1. We have a work tree, and we are at the top level.

  2. We don't have a work tree, and we have died.

The only catch is that we must also make sure no code that
ran before the cd_to_toplevel assumed that we were already
in the working tree.

In this case, we will only have included shell libraries and
called set_reflog_action, neither of which care about the
current working directory at all.

15a147e618 rebase: use @{upstream} if no upstream specified
'git rebase' without arguments is currently not supported. Make it
default to 'git rebase @{upstream}'. That is also what 'git pull
[--rebase]' defaults to, so it only makes sense that 'git rebase'
defaults to the same thing.

Defaulting to @{upstream} will make it possible to run e.g. 'git
rebase -i' without arguments, which is probably a quite common use
case. It also improves the scenario where you have multiple branches
that rebase against a remote-tracking branch, where you currently have
to choose between the extra network delay of 'git pull' or the
slightly awkward keys to enter 'git rebase @{u}'.

The error reporting when no upstream is configured for the current
branch or when no branch is checked out is reused from git-pull.sh. A
function is extracted into git-parse-remote.sh for this purpose.

7dce19d374 fetch/pull: Add the --recurse-submodules option
Until now you had to call "git submodule update" (without -N|--no-fetch
option) or something like "git submodule foreach git fetch" to fetch
new commits in populated submodules from their remote.

This could lead to "(commits not present)" messages in the output of
"git diff --submodule" (which is used by "git gui" and "gitk") after
fetching or pulling new commits in the superproject and is an obstacle for
implementing recursive checkout of submodules. Also "git submodule
update" cannot fetch changes when disconnected, so it was very easy to
forget to fetch the submodule changes before disconnecting only to
discover later that they are needed.

This patch adds the "--recurse-submodules" option to recursively fetch
each populated submodule from the url configured in the .git/config of the
submodule at the end of each "git fetch" or during "git pull" in the
superproject. The submodule paths are taken from the index.

The hidden option "--submodule-prefix" is added to "git fetch" to be able
to print out the full paths of nested submodules.

cf65426de6 pull --rebase: Avoid spurious conflicts and reapplying unnecessary patches
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.

29609e6822 pull: do nothing on --dry-run
Pull was never meant to take --dry-run at all. However, it
passes unknown arguments to git-fetch, which does do a
dry-run. Unfortunately, pull then attempts to merge whatever
cruft was in FETCH_HEAD (which the dry-run fetch will not
have written to).

Even though we never advertise --dry-run as something that
should work, it is still worth being defensive because:

  1. Other commands (including fetch) take --dry-run, so a
     user might try it.

  2. Rather than simply producing an error, it actually
     changes the repository in totally unexpected ways.

This patch makes "pull --dry-run" equivalent to "fetch
--dry-run".

verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution.

For commit, the error message used to look like this:

$ git commit
foo.txt: needs merge
foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169)
foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030)
foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4)
error: Error building trees

The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.

The new output looks like:

U       foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.

Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.

The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

77c29b4aca Revert recent "git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>..." deprecation
This reverts commit c0ecb07048 "git-pull.sh:
Fix call to git-merge for new command format" and

commit b81e00a965 "git-merge: a deprecation
notice of the ancient command line syntax".

They caused a "git pull" (without any arguments, and without any local
commits---only to update to the other side) to warn that commit log
message is ignored because the merge resulted in a fast-forward.

Another possible solution is to add an extra option to "git merge" so that
"git pull" can tell it that the message given is not coming from the end
user (the canned message is passed just in case the merge resulted in a
non-ff and caused commit), but I think it is easier _not_ to deprecate the
old syntax.

995fc2f7e1 pull: clarify advice for the unconfigured error case
When pull --rebase fails because it cannot find what branch to
merge against, the error message implies we are trying to merge.
Say "rebase against" instead of "merge with" to avoid confusion.

The configuration suggested to remedy the situation uses a
confusing syntax, with variables specified in the dotted form
accepted by 'git config' but separated from their values by the
'=' delimiter used by config files.  Since the user will have to
edit this output anyway, it is more helpful to provide a config
file snippet to paste into an editor and modify.

134748353b Teach 'git merge' and 'git pull' the option --ff-only
For convenience in scripts and aliases, add the option
--ff-only to only allow fast-forwards (and up-to-date,
despite the name).

Disallow combining --ff-only and --no-ff, since they
flatly contradict each other.

Allow all other options to be combined with --ff-only
(i.e. do not add any code to handle them specially),
including the following options:

* --strategy (one or more): As long as the chosen merge
  strategy results in up-to-date or fast-forward, the
  command will succeed.

* --squash: I cannot imagine why anyone would want to
  squash commits only if fast-forward is possible, but I
  also see no reason why it should not be allowed.

* --message: The message will always be ignored, but I see
  no need to explicitly disallow providing a redundant message.

Acknowledgements: I did look at Yuval Kogman's earlier
patch (107768 in gmane), mainly as shortcut to find my
way in the code, but I did not copy anything directly.

a8c9bef4e0 pull: improve advice for unconfigured error case
There are several reasons a git-pull invocation might not
have anything marked for merge:

  1. We're not on a branch, so there is no branch
     configuration.

  2. We're on a branch, but there is no configuration for
     this branch.

  3. We fetched from the configured remote, but the
     configured branch to merge didn't get fetched (either
     it doesn't exist, or wasn't part of the fetch refspec).

  4. We fetched from the 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.

  5. We fetched from a specified remote, and a refspec was
     given, but it ended up not fetching anything (this is
     actually hard to do; if the refspec points to a remote
     branch and it doesn't exist, then fetch will fail and
     we never make it to this code path. But if you provide
     a wildcard refspec like

       refs/bogus/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

     then you can see this failure).

We have handled (1) and (2) for some time. Recently, commit
a6dbf88 added code to handle case (3).

This patch handles cases (4) and (5), which previously just
fell under other cases, producing a confusing message.

While we're at it, let's rewrap the text for case (3), which
looks terribly ugly as it is.

4973aa2286 git-pull: dead code removal
Back when a74b170 (git-pull: disallow implicit merging to detached HEAD,
2007-01-15) added this check, $? referred to the error status of reading
HEAD as a symbolic-ref; but cd67e4d (Teach 'git pull' about --rebase,
2007-11-28) moved the command away from where the check is, and nobody
noticed the breakage.  Ever since, $? has always been 0 (tr at the end of
the pipe to find merge_head never fails) and other case arms were never
reached.

These days, error_on_no_merge_candidates function is prepared to handle a
detached HEAD case, which was what the code this patch removes used to
handle.
