[PATCH] refresh-index: fix bitmask assignment

[PATCH] refresh-index: fix bitmask assignment

[Junio C Hamano]

5fdeacb (Teach update-index about --ignore-submodules, 2008-05-14) added a
new refresh option flag but did not assign a unique bit for it correctly,
and broke "update-index --ignore-missing".

This should fix it.

 * The fact that it took this long for anybody to notice the breakage
   probably means that the "--ignore-missing" option in particular but the
   ability for plumbing to allow scripting in general is not utilized by
   as many people as the design initially envisioned.

This hopefully protects the previous fix (and other --refresh related
options) from future  breakages.

I'll squash it in to the previous one.

Actually, I'll squash this further on top, for a reason that will become

[RFC] "needs update" considered harmful

[Junio C Hamano]

The previous two variants both aim to reword the somewhat unpopular "needs
update" message to easier "locally modified".

"Politically correct" thing to do would be to keep the output from the
update-index (plumbing) intact and update only output from "reset" and
"add --refresh -v" which are Porcelain.  This has smaller chance of
breaking people's existing scripts, but some people may find the two
messages that say the same thing inconsistent.

Rewording to "locally modified" even at the plumbing level is a simpler
patch, keeps the API to refresh_index() intact, and probably is a better
approach in the longer term, especially if we can ignore people's existing
scripts.

As a git beginner I would still be a confused. I think git beginners
need to understand three concepts very early:

- committed changes
- staged changes
- unstaged changes

I think saying "unstaged changes" instead of "locally modified" would
be consistent with the git add and rm man pages and less confusing.

On a related note, I don't understand the need for two different messages here:

$ echo stuff >> foo
$ git co master
error: You have local changes to 'foo'; cannot switch branches.
$ git add foo
$ git co master
error: Entry 'foo' would be overwritten by merge. Cannot merge.

A single message "You have uncommitted changes to 'foo'; cannot switch
branches." would suffice, no?

$0.02.

[RFC variant 1 of 2] "needs update" considered harmful

[Junio C Hamano]

"git update-index --refresh", "git reset" and "git add --refresh" have
reported paths that have local modifications as "needs update" since the
beginning of git.

Although this is logically correct in that you need to update the index at
that path before you can commit that change, it is now becoming more and
more clear, especially with the continuous push for user friendliness
since 1.5.0 series, that the message is suboptimal.  After all, the change
may be something the user might want to get rid of, and "updating" would
be absolutely a wrong thing to do if that is the case.

I prepared two alternatives to solve this.  Both aim to reword the message
to more neutral "locally modified".

This patch is a more intrusive variant that changes the message for only
Porcelain commands ("add" and "reset") while keeping the plumbing
"update-index" intact.

I believe this is a good thing. Scripts need to be modified for the
reorganization anyway, and I'm not sure if there are any actually
depening on this particular string. I think having inconsistent error
messaging is worse in long term.

FWIW, looking at Cogito,

	cg-Xlib: git-update-index --refresh | sed 's/needs update$/locally modified/'

is the only reference to this. ;-)

No.  They do not, if the 1st variant is applied.

That is the question, isn't it?  You would never know.  Many people, 
strange as it sounds, do not write to this list when they encounter 
problems with Git.  They vent on their blogs, not giving us a chance, and 
other people comment "Me too"s.

One of the most important features of Git used to be its scriptability, 
and I think that many hackers just love Git for it, even new hackers.

So it is probably not unheard of that someone wrote an update hook or a 
cronjob using the output of "update-index --refresh".

But those people are probably not on this list, or not following every 
thread, or they even forgot how/that they implemented such a hook/cronjob.

Ergo: we would not know if scripts break.  Until it is too late.

I think Pasky's point is that people who did not bother updating their
scripts with PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH as described in the deprecation
notice when we went 1.5.4 now have to do so.

But if they did, they have to update again.  The more elaborate variant
avoids that, at the expense of different wordings between Porcelain and
plumbing.

I personally think there is nothing wrong if Porcelain and plumbing use
different languages, by the way.  It seems that the general concensus will
be to split the Porcelain and the plumbing manuals into separate volumes
targetted for different audiences, and it is more important to keep the
plumbing output stable as part of an established API than making the same
thing called using the same wording in different languages.

Do you expect such a clean separation? That a given command is either
plumbing or porcelain but never both? If not, then a command might
want to emit different output depending upon context. Perhaps an
environment variable, along the lines of how one sets locale on Unix,
could indicate to a git command whether it running as plumbing or not.

Just a thought.
