Linus Torvalds 70b006b971 Tie it all together: "git log"
This is what the previous diffs all built up to.

We can do "git log" as a trivial small helper function inside git.c,
because the infrastructure is all there for us to use as a library.

Linus Torvalds ae563542bf First cut at libifying revlist generation
This really just splits things up partially, and creates the
interface to set things up by parsing the command line.

No real code changes so far, although the parsing of filenames is a bit
stricter. In particular, if there is a "--", then we do not accept any
filenames before it, and if there isn't any "--", then we check that _all_
paths listed are valid, not just the first one.

The new argument parsing automatically also gives us "--default" and
"--not" handling as in git-rev-parse.

Carl Worth d4a1cab541 Add new git-rm command with documentation
This adds a git-rm command which provides convenience similar to
git-add, (and a bit more since it takes care of the rm as well if
given -f).

Like git-add, git-rm expands the given path names through
git-ls-files. This means it only acts on files listed in the
index. And it does act recursively on directories by default, (no -r
needed as in the case of rm itself). When it recurses, it does not
remove empty directories that are left behind.

Martin Langhoff 3fda8c4cc7 Introducing git-cvsserver -- a CVS emulator for git.
git-cvsserver is highly functional. However, not all methods are implemented,
and for those methods that are implemented, not all switches are implemented.
All the common read operations are implemented, and add/remove/commit are
supported.

Testing has been done using both the CLI CVS client, and the Eclipse CVS
plugin. Most functionality works fine with both of these clients.

Currently git-cvsserver only works over SSH connections, see the
Documentation for more details on how to configure your client. It
does not support pserver for anonymous access but it should not be
hard to implement. Anonymous access will need tighter input validation.

In our very informal tests, it seems to be significantly faster than a real
CVS server.

This utility depends on a version of git-cvsannotate that supports -S and on
DBD::SQLite.

Actually, I got interested in seeing how hard this is, and wrote a simple
first cut at doing a tree-optimized merger.

Let me shout a bit first:

  THIS IS WORKING CODE, BUT BE CAREFUL: IT'S A TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION
  RATHER THAN THE FINAL PRODUCT!

With that out of the way, let me descibe what this does (and then describe
the missing parts).

This is basically a three-way merge that works entirely on the "tree"
level, rather than on the index. A lot of the _concepts_ are the same,
though, and if you're familiar with the results of an index merge, some of
the output will make more sense.

You give it three trees: the base tree (tree 0), and the two branches to
be merged (tree 1 and tree 2 respectively). It will then walk these three
trees, and resolve them as it goes along.

The interesting part is:
 - it can resolve whole sub-directories in one go, without actually even
   looking recursively at them. A whole subdirectory will resolve the same
   way as any individual files will (although that may need some
   modification, see later).
 - if it has a "content conflict", for subdirectories that means "try to
   do a recursive tree merge", while for non-subdirectories it's just a
   content conflict and we'll output the stage 1/2/3 information.
 - a successful merge will output a single stage 0 ("merged") entry,
   potentially for a whole subdirectory.
 - it outputs all the resolve information on stdout, so something like the
   recursive resolver can pretty easily parse it all.

Now, the caveats:
 - we probably need to be more careful about subdirectory resolves. The
   trivial case (both branches have the exact same subdirectory) is a
   trivial resolve, but the other cases ("branch1 matches base, branch2 is
   different" probably can't be silently just resolved to the "branch2"
   subdirectory state, since it might involve renames into - or out of -
   that subdirectory)
 - we do not track the current index file at all, so this does not do the
   "check that index matches branch1" logic that the three-way merge in
   git-read-tree does. The theory is that we'd do a full three-way merge
   (ignoring the index and working directory), and then to update the
   working tree, we'd do a two-way "git-read-tree branch1->result"
 - I didn't actually make it do all the trivial resolve cases that
   git-read-tree does. It's a technology demonstration.

Finally (a more serious caveat):
 - doing things through stdout may end up being so expensive that we'd
   need to do something else. In particular, it's likely that I should
   not actually output the "merge results", but instead output a "merge
   results as they _differ_ from branch1"

However, I think this patch is already interesting enough that people who
are interested in merging trees might want to look at it. Please keep in
mind that tech _demo_ part, and in particular, keep in mind the final
"serious caveat" part.

In many ways, the really _interesting_ part of a merge is not the result,
but how it _changes_ the branch we're merging into. That's particularly
important as it should hopefully also mean that the output size for any
reasonable case is minimal (and tracks what we actually need to do to the
current state to create the final result).

The code very much is organized so that doing the result as a "diff
against branch1" should be quite easy/possible. I was actually going to do
it, but I decided that it probably makes the output harder to read. I
dunno.

Anyway, let's think about this kind of approach.. Note how the code itself
is actually quite small and short, although it's prbably pretty "dense".

As an interesting test-case, I'd suggest this merge in the kernel:

	git-merge-tree $(git-merge-base 4cbf876 7d2babc) 4cbf876 7d2babc

which resolves beautifully (there are no actual file-level conflicts), and
you can look at the output of that command to start thinking about what
it does.

The interesting part (perhaps) is that timing that command for me shows
that it takes all of 0.004 seconds.. (the git-merge-base thing takes
considerably more ;)

The point is, we _can_ do the actual merge part really really quickly.

		Linus

PS. Final note: when I say that it is "WORKING CODE", that is obviously by
my standards. IOW, I tested it once and it gave reasonable results - so it
must be perfect.

Whether it works for anybody else, or indeed for any other test-case, is
not my problem ;)

Junio C Hamano cf7bb589af git-status -v
This revamps the git-status command to take the same set of
parameters as git commit.  It gives a preview of what is being
committed with that command.  With -v flag, it shows the diff
output between the HEAD commit and the index that would be
committed if these flags were given to git-commit command.

git-commit also acquires -v flag (it used to mean "verify" but
that is the default anyway and there is --no-verify to turn it
off, so not much is lost), which uses the updated git-status -v
to seed the commit log buffer.  This is handy for writing a log
message while reviewing the changes one last time.

Now, git-commit and git-status are internally share the same
implementation.

Unlike previous git-commit change, this uses a temporary index
to prepare the index file that would become the real index file
after a successful commit, and moves it to the real index file
once the commit is actually made.  This makes it safer than the
previous scheme, which stashed away the original index file and
restored it after an aborted commit.

Junio C Hamano 8389b52b2a git-rerere: reuse recorded resolve.
In a workflow that employs relatively long lived topic branches,
the developer sometimes needs to resolve the same conflict over
and over again until the topic branches are done (either merged
to the "release" branch, or sent out and accepted upstream).

This commit introduces a new command, "git rerere", to help this
process by recording the conflicted automerge results and
corresponding hand-resolve results on the initial manual merge,
and later by noticing the same conflicted automerge and applying
the previously recorded hand resolution using three-way merge.

    diff-tree fec9ebf... (from parents)
    Merge: 0620db3... 8a263ae...
    Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
    Date:   Sun Jan 15 22:25:35 2006 -0800

	Merge fixes up to GIT 1.1.3

       {
     +      unsigned char sha1[20];
     +      struct commit *cmit;

There are a few things to note about this feature:

 - The '-c' option implies '-p'.  It also implies '-m' halfway
   in the sense that "interesting" merges are shown, but not all
   merges.

 - When a blob matches one of the parents, we do not show a diff
   for that path at all.  For a merge commit, this option shows
   paths with real file-level merge (aka "interesting things").

 - As a concequence of the above, an "uninteresting" merge is
   not shown at all.  You can use '-m' in addition to '-c' to
   show the commit log for such a merge, but there will be no
   combined diff output.

 - Unlike "gitk", the output is monochrome.

A '-' character in the nth column means the line is from the nth
parent and does not appear in the merge result (i.e. removed
from that parent's version).

A '+' character in the nth column means the line appears in the
merge result, and the nth parent does not have that line
(i.e. added by the merge itself or inherited from another
parent).

The above example output shows that the function signature was
changed from either parents (hence two "-" lines and a "++"
line), and "unsigned char sha1[20]", prefixed by a " +", was
inherited from the first parent.

The code as sent to the list was buggy in few corner cases,
which I have fixed since then.

It does not bother to keep track of and show the line numbers
from parent commits, which it probably should.

Michal Ostrowski 77cb17e940 Exec git programs without using PATH.
The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as
git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list).  Thus there is a need for
logic that will locate these programs.  Modifying PATH is not
desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's
intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH.

- git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands.
- exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in
  the following directories:
	1. --exec-path (as used by "git")
	2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable.
	3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)).
- git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to
  invoke "git-foo" commands.

Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent
of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

Junio C Hamano 9b88fcef7d Makefile: use git-describe to mark the git version.
Note: with this commit, the GIT maintainer workflow must change.
GIT-VERSION-GEN is now the file to munge when the default
version needs to be changed, not Makefile.  The tag needs to be
pushed into the repository to build the official tarball and
binary package beforehand.

Linus Torvalds 908e5310b9 Add a "git-describe" command
It shows you the most recent tag that is reachable from a particular
commit is.

Maybe this is something that "git-name-rev" should be taught to do,
instead of having a separate command for it. Regardless, I find it useful.

What it does is to take any random commit, and "name" it by looking up the
most recent commit that is tagged and reachable from that commit. If the
match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise
it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA".

IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get:

	[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent
	refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b

ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4,
but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash
of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit
2414721b19.

Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path:

	[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4
	refs/tags/v1.0.4

unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it
will just choose one at random.

This is useful for two things:

 - automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in
   git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a
   much more useful description of exactly what version was installed.

 - for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or
   "git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can
   figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug
   in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do:

	[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6
	refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c

   and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in
   v2.6.14-rc5.

The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a
commit happened in.

Minor fixes.

Starting from this one I won't be touching debian/ directory
since the official maintainer seems to be reasonably quick to
package up things.  The packaging procedure used there seems to
be quite different from what I have, so I'd like to avoid
potential confusion and reduce work by the official maintainer
and myself.
