[PATCH v2 0/6] Support triangular workflows

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

This follows-up [1], with three important differences:

1. pushremote_get() and remote_get() share code better.  Thanks Jeff.

2. All spelling mistakes have been corrected.  Thanks Eric.

3. One new test for each of the new configuration variables.  The
extra two parts [2/6] and [3/6] preprare the file for introducing
tests.  However, I've not gone overboard in this preparation; I don't
replicate the work done by Jonathan in [2].

Thanks for reading.

[PATCH 1/6] remote.c: simplify a bit of code using git_config_string()

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

A small segment where handle_config() parses the branch.remote
configuration variable can be simplified using git_config_string().

Shouldn't this say

or something?

Yes, and so should the instances in [5/6] and [6/6].  Thanks for catching it.

[PATCH 2/6] t5516 (fetch-push): update test description

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

The file was originally created in bcdb34f (Test wildcard push/fetch,
2007-06-08), and only contained tests that exercised wildcard
functionality at the time.  In subsequent commits, many other tests
unrelated to wildcards were added but the test description was never
updated.  Fix this.

I'm not thrilled with the description before or after.  Would it make
sense to do something like the following?

	test_description='Tests of basic fetch/push functionality.
	
	These tests create small test repositories and fetch from and
	push to them, testing:

	 * commandline syntax
	 * refspecs and default refspecs
	 * fast-forward detection and overriding fast-forward detection
	 * configuration (insteadOf, pushInsteadOf, [remote "name"] push,
	   etc)
	 * hooks
	 * --porcelain output format
	 * hiderefs
	'

No.  When I want to add a test for branch.<name>.pushremote, I grep
for branch.*.pushurl, and open files with sensible names; I'm not
going to open up the file and read a long description of what tests it
already contains.  The filename and test headlines are sufficient.
Our test suite is bad enough as it is (inconsistent style, missing &&,
false positives)- I'm against adding to the maintenance burden.

Huh?  The test_description is output for "./t5516-* --help" and is
supposed to help people hacking on the test to understand its setup
and its purpose.

[PATCH 3/6] t5516 (fetch-push): introduce mk_test_with_name()

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

mk_test() creates a repository with the constant name "testrepo", and
this may be limiting for tests that need to create more than one
repository for testing.  To fix this, create a new mk_test_with_name()
which accepts the repository name as $1.  Reimplement mk_test() as a
special case of this function, making sure that no tests need to be
rewritten.  Do the same thing for check_push_result().

Why not give mk_test an optional parameter?

	repo_name=${1:-testrepo}

Oh, it is because mk_test already takes arguments naming refs to push.
I suppose the change description could make this clearer.

Why not use mk_test and then rename, like so?

	mk_test ...refs... &&
	mv testrepo testrepo-a &&

	mk_test ...refs... &&
	mv testrepo testrepo-b &&
	...

I dunno.  The helper functions at the top of this test are already
intimidating, so I guess I am looking for a way to avoid making that
problem worse.  One way would be to add an opening comment before
the function definition explaining how it is meant to be used.  See
t/test-lib-functions.sh for examples, such as test_cmp.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan

No.  This is ugly.  mk_test() should not hardcode "testrepo".

My patch does not make the situation worse in any way: it just adds
one line that passes $1 as a parameter to existing code.  Yes, the
functions and tests can be improved greatly, but I refrained from
doing so because of your series.  We can save it for later.

Um, yes it does.  It adds another function to learn to an already

Personally I do not find the set of helper functions intimidating. I
tend to read the tests in a top-down manner: a test is interesting
(usually because it fails), and then I want to see what it is doing, so
I look at any functions it calls, and so forth.

What I usually find _much_ harder to debug is when there is hidden state
leftover from other tests. So even though it is longer to write, I would
much rather see:

  test_expect_success 'check that frob only affects foo' '
          set_state_of foo &&
          set_state_of bar &&
          git frob &&
          check_state_of foo &&
          check_state_of bar
  '

than for the test to assume the state of "foo" or "bar" prior to the
test. And I think helper functions can help make writing those sorts of
pre-conditions more reasonable (and without looking too hard, I think
t5516 does an OK job of that).

Related to that is when the helper functions operate on hidden state. In
this instance, we have tests that do things like:

    mk_empty &&
    git push testrepo refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

and as a reader I say "wait, what's in testrepo?". I can follow mk_empty
and see that it hardcodes testrepo, but it is even better if the
function and its arguments are named in a way that I don't have to. So
even though it is more typing, I would argue that:

  mk_empty testrepo &&
  git push testrepo ...

is better, because the test script is more readable as a unit.

None of this is that huge a deal to me (and yet I seem to have written a
page about it :) ), but I figure while we are bikeshedding about test
style...

Thanks for articulating this.  I agree that keeping track of state is
the hardest part of working with git's tests.

To clarify my earlier comment, I was reading the test script from the
point of view of someone who wants to add an additional test, rather
than someone debugging an existing one.  That person has a difficult
task: she needs to understand

 * What do the existing tests in the script do?  This information
   is important in deciding whether the new test will be redundant.

 * How do I work with the particular dialect used in the script,
   including helpers?  A new test should fit in with the style of its
   surroundings to avoid contributing to an unmaintainable mess.

 * What is the intended scope of the test script?  Does my new test
   belong in this script?

 * What is the logical progression of the script?  What story does this
   script tell?  Where should I insert my test to maintain a logical
   ordering?

 * What state that later tests rely on do I need to avoid clobbering?

Generally the best way to help such a person is to make the script
very simple.  In particular, using standard helpers instead of custom
functions when appropriate and documenting helpers used to give new
readers a quick introduction to the dialect can help a lot.

[PATCH 4/6] remote.c: introduce a way to have different remotes for fetch/push

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

Currently, do_push() in push.c calls remote_get(), which gets the
configured remote for fetching and pushing.  Replace this call with a
call to pushremote_get() instead, a new function that will return the
remote configured specifically for pushing.  This function tries to
work with the string pushremote_name, before falling back to the
codepath of remote_get().  This patch has no visible impact, but
serves to enable future patches to introduce configuration variables
to set this variable.

The above description does not make the impact of this change clear to
me.  Could you give a before-and-after example?  How will this
internal API change make my life easier as a developer?

The code to read branch.$name.remote configuration flips
explicit_default_remote_name to one when it is used to set the
default_remote_name, and that controls the value of name_given in
this codepath.  At this point in the series, you do not have a
corresponding branch.$name.pushremote, but your [6/6] does not seem
to do the same.

Why isn't it necessary to add explicit_default_pushremote_name and
do the same here in patch [6/6]?

Sorry, I'm still trying to understand your comment.  Okay, yes:
branch.$name.remote does flip explicit_default_remote_name, because we
need to know if the default remote name was explicitly given.  Wait,
how is explicit_default_remote_name used to set default_remote_name?
Don't you mean name_given?  It controls name_give, yes.  At this point
I don't have .pushremote, yes: I'm setting up for [5/6] and [6/6].  My
[6/6] doesn't seem to do the "same"?  The same thing as .remote?  Are
you asking why .pushremote doesn't flip explicit_default_remote_name
like .remote does?  Because .pushremote can only ever be specified
explicitly: otherwise, it falls back to the .remote logic.

Okay, next paragraph.  Why isn't it necessary to add
explicit_default_pushremote_name?  Like I said, .pushremote can only
ever be specified explicitly.  There is no implicit fallback (like
"origin"): it just falls back to the .remote codepath, if not
explicitly specified.  In other words, it's just a small override on
the .remote codepath.

That one sentence is enough to explain the apparent asymmetry, which

[PATCH 5/6] remote.c: introduce remote.pushdefault

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

This new configuration variable defines the default remote to push to,
and overrides `branch.<name>.remote` for all branches.  It is useful
in the typical triangular-workflow setup, where the remote you're
fetching from is different from the remote you're pushing to.

Micronit: I think this would be easier to explain if it came after
patch 6, since then you could say "In other words, it is a default for
branch.<name>.pushremote for all branches" and readers would not have
to wonder "Why does the more generic configuration override the more
specific one?".

My two cents,

[PATCH 6/6] remote.c: introduce branch.<name>.pushremote

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

This new configuration variable overrides `remote.pushdefault` and
`branch.<name>.remote` for pushes.  In a typical triangular-workflow
setup, you would want to set `remote.pushdefault` to specify the
remote to push to for all branches, and use this option to override it
for a specific branch.

Huh?  This patch introduces branch.<name>.pushremote: the relevant
code and documentation changes.  5/6 introduces remote.pushdefault,
which is completely different.

Perhaps we should clarify how this differs from remote.pushurl in the
documentation for it, in git-config and/or git-push. Maybe even
include the design decisions behind it from [1]. :)

Actually, it's quite obvious when you think about it: remote.pushurl
doesn't allow remote tracking branches, and this is a very serious
limitation.  If anything, the documentation for remote.pushurl should
be updated to explain that it has a very narrow usecase (will do in a
future patch).

Currently, Documentation/gitworkflows.txt makes no effort to explain
how to set up configuration variables for centralized or distributed
workflows.  I don't see how I could patch the existing document to
include this workflow, without changing the entire structure of the
document (left as an exercise for future patches).

What is missing from gitworkflows documentation is actually a
non-triangular workflow, where people pull from and push into the
same central repository.

The "merge workflow" part in the "distributed workflows" section
teaches:

 * fetching others' work from <remote> and merging it to yours;
 * publishing your work to <remote>; and
 * advertising your work.

and it is written for the triangular workflow.

Two triangles are involved.  The maintainer may pull from you but
pushes to her own, which is one triangle, and you pull from the
maintainer and push to your own, which is another.

As to your suggestion, I do think it is reasonable to clarify these
triangles with an illustration, and to even add descriptions for
short-cut configurations as a side note.

I think the gitworkflows document should be rewritten with focus on
setting up remotes and configuration variables for specific workflows.
 Once these are set up, pushing/ pulling (git pull is currently
broken, although I'm working on fixing it) should Just Work.  To push
to a different remote/ refspec, the user can read the manpage of git
push/ git pull.  A workflow is about setting up good defaults that
work 90% of the time with no additional effort.

[PATCH v3 0/6] Support triangular workflows

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

After Jonathan's review of [1], I've decided to pick two changes to
apply in this iteration:

1. [1/6], [5/6] and [6/6] now use the return value of
   git_config_string(), hence handling configuration errors properly.
   I consider this a major and important improvement.

2. The commit message in [4/6] has been augmented with a small
   example.  This is mainly a nit, as full-blown examples are already
   present in the next two patches in the series.

Thanks.

The file was originally created in bcdb34f (Test wildcard push/fetch,

functionality at the time.  In subsequent commits, many other tests
unrelated to wildcards were added but the test description was never

The description before and after are equally useless.  You might as
well use the following description:

	test_description='t5516-fetch-push.sh'

(Please don't actually do that.)

I gave a sketch of what I think might be a more useful description and
got shot down without an explanation I could understand in reply.  So,
this one needs more work I guess.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan

[PATCH v4 0/6] Support triangular workflows

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

Hi,

The changes in this round are:

1. Peff submitted a patch to squash into [3/6].  Since his patch
   essentially reverts mine, I've blamed him for the change.

2. Peff suggested a code movement in [5/6] to make things flow more
   naturally.

3. Jonathan suggested a better test description in [2/6].

4. Junio suggested a minor documentation update in [6/6].

My build of git has had this feature for two weeks now (since the
first iteration), and I'm very happy with it.

[PATCH 2/6] t5516 (fetch-push): update test description

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

The file was originally created in bcdb34f (Test wildcard push/fetch,
2007-06-08), and only contained tests that exercised wildcard
functionality at the time.  In subsequent commits, many other tests
unrelated to wildcards were added but the test description was never
updated.  Fix this.

[PATCH 0/6] Re-roll rr/triangle

[Ramkumar Ramachandra]

There are two important changes in this round:

1. Rebased on latest master, resolving all conflicts (all in t5516).
   I ran the testsuite immediately after resolving the conflicts, so
   everything should be good.

2. Peff's suggestion to avoid using test_must_fail on compound
   statements.  I've changed the meaning of the tests slightly to
   (approximately) invert the tests.  The inter-diff follows.
