[RFC/PATCH] Remove repo-config

[RFC/PATCH] Remove repo-config

[Dan McGee]

'git config' has been used in place of 'git repo-config' for some time in
the documentation and most of the tools, so remove traces of repo-config
from the source.

Mainly a request for comment, but I sent this patch becuase I noticed
repo-config is not even listed in command-list.txt. Before the 1.5.4 release,
I would think it either needs to be listed there or removed entirely.

Looking forward to 1.5.5, is there any reason to keep an old command like
this around? It is rarely used and needlessly complicates things, and the
manpage did nothing but send you to config anyway.

All tests pass on Linux 2.6.23.

Re: [RFC/PATCH] Remove repo-config

I do not think it is unreasonable to add repo-config to feature
removal schedule in 1.5.4 release notes.  Perhaps something like...

Seems fine to me. Does it need to be put in command-list.txt for the time being too, or what all is that file used for? Sorry I am not familiar.

Something like:

git-repo-config                       ancillarymanipulators	deprecated

Technically, you are right, but somehow it feels backwards.

We stopped advertising the existence of the command in v1.5.0,
and adding it to the list now would mean we need to add a new
git-repo-config manual page that says "This is deprecated, use
git-config instead".

I'd agree with the deprecation.  We stopped advertising it long
time ago (1.5.0 I think).

Let's defer the removal til post 1.5.4.

Doing s/repo-config/config/ in test scripts is good.

This comment was wrong.  We can keep the existing repo-config
documentation that has deprecation notice, and add the above
line to the list.

Sorry about the confusion.

I don't know if this should impact removing schedule, but stgit 0.14.1
(and the current development version) uses "git repo-config" instead of "git config"
in stgit/config.py and certain tests

will post a patch for this as a reply

Greetings Peter
PS: i hope it is ok to add stgit people to CC

[STGIT PATCH] replace "git repo-config" usage by "git config"

Strange that StGIT didn't abstracted out reading git config, like
Git.pm and gitweb.perl did.

BTW. will StGIT be using libgit-thin + PyGit, or is it not ready yet?

It is abstracted, that is why the patch only affectes stgit/config.py :-)
(beside tests)
Or do you mean another type of abstraction like loading the whole config file 
at once?

But since i do not create stgit patches very often i have to say actually i

Hi,

The initial implementation was to use Python to parse the config file
but it was dropped in favour of the git-config tool. It might be a bit
slower but, at least, we don't need to follow any future syntax
changes.

> BTW. will StGIT be using libgit-thin + PyGit, or is it not ready yet?

The last commit to the libgit project seems to be in August 2007. Is
it still maintained? If GIT will provide a stable API and library, we
might use it but I don't think it would bring a great performance
improvement. Most of the time, in my case, seems to be spent in calls
list git-diff-tree. A few tens of milliseconds avoided by not calling
an external tool would be unnoticed.

Errr... this is not what I meant. What I meant here is why StGit doesn't
have a thin wrapper around "git config", so instead of all those calls
to "Run('git', 'config', '--get', name)" use "git_config(name)" etc.,
similarly to Git.pm and gitweb.perl (which also use git-config to parse
the config file; only git-cvsimport parses config file in Perl IIRC).

This way if you want to load the whole config file at once (like gitweb
now does, using "git config -z -l") you would have to make changes only
in one place.

I merged your patches but I have some wishes. Could we keep pretty
much the same reporting messages? For example, pushing reports a
conflict but it no longer lists which files conflicted. The 'goto'
checks the local status before pushing but doesn't report this (and my
machine is slow and it might wait even 20 seconds or more, it is
useful to get some messages).

The pop/push commands report that the action took place. The one with
"action ... done" was friendlier I think, especially with the 'pop'
command reporting that it popped the patches but it waits quite a lot
before returning.

Thanks.

Mmm, that's a regression. Will try to see where that got lost.

No, it doesn't anymore, so it should be faster than before. Instead of
checking the entire tree for cleanliness, it just relies on
git-read-tree -u -m to abort without changes if any of the files that
need updating are dirty.

This goes for all commands using the new infrastructure, by the way.
They share a _lot_ of code.

Yes, I agree that the current output is not optimal.

Ah, OK. BTW, even if the tree was clean, a 'goto' failed on my Linux
tree earlier today with the following message:

$ stg goto realview-eb-header
Popped realview-pb1176 -- realview-ioaddress
fatal: Entry 'arch/arm/mach-realview/realview_pb11mp.c' not uptodate.
Cannot merge.
stg goto: Command aborted (all changes rolled back)

It worked fine after running 'stg status' once (and not showing any
changes). In the old GIT interface, we use to call refresh_index (i.e.
'git update-index -q --unmerged --refresh'). Does this still happen?

The message above also shows what I meant with messages not being very
clear. It reports "Popped" but actually failed. Showing "Popping ...
done" would be better.

Ah, no, I guess it doesn't. And I guess it should. We should probably
have a test for that ...

> The message above also shows what I meant with messages not being

> "Popping ... done" would be better.

Not necessarily. Even with the latter message style, you'd sometimes
get sequences like this:

  Popping p3 -- p1 ... done
  Pushing p4 ... done
  Pushing p5 ... done
  fatal: Entry 'some/annoying/file' not uptodate.
  Cannot merge.
  stg cool-command: Command aborted (all changes rolled back)

That is, the sequence of pushes and pops succeeded, but the changes
were still rolled back due to a dirty worktree.

Now, this doesn't mean I don't agree with you about the "done"
messages -- they serve as a kind of progress bar -- but just because
it says "done" doesn't mean the change will still be in effect when
the command returns.

And there should probably be an explicit "Checking out files ... done"
stage when we run git-read-tree, since that tends to take relatively
much time.

Yes.

Another thing, can the '--keep' option be added? Can it work with the
new structure? I use it quite often as I make some minor modification
and I'd like to pop patches without affecting the local changes.

Yes, that would be useful as well.

As is, it works out of the box as long as your local changes are in
files not touched by the command.

Making it work in other cases as well should be doable -- behind the
scenes, we'd save the local changes much like a patch, and try to
apply it at the end. (In fact, we should probably not create this
"patch" until git-read-tree tells us it can't do its job due to local
changes.)

Adding the --keep flag once would make it available for all commands
using the new infrastructure.

It used to work in this case as well :-).

My simple approach was to apply the cumulated diff of the patches to
be popped in reverse (and change the top of the stack). If there are
no conflicts, it works just fine. If it cannot do this, there might be
conflicts and I create a temporary patch manually. Merging that patch
would probably lead to conflicts needing to be solved.

For the push operation, we try the diff applying followed by a
three-way merge if the former fails. We could do something similar
with the pop operation for keeping the local changes - try the
reversed diff or create a temporary patch automatically.

But, I'd really like for this not to be enabled by default. I might
forget to refresh a patch and will go to another just to realise that
there are uncommitted changes, hence the "check_local_changes()" call
for most of the commands affecting the stack.
