* Branch metainformation
From: Jakub Narebski @ 2006-04-20  7:39 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

It seems that ever so often there is question posted on this list on which
the answer is to add '+' in 'pu' branch 'Pull:' line. I think that it is
not a good policy to have puller to remember which branches can be
fast-forwarded, and which needs to be merged. It should be an information
set and stored by person managing the branch (pullee), as some kind of
metainformation for the branch (like description and optional signature is
for tags).

Perhaps then there would be a place for short, one-line description of the
branch...

* [PATCH] diff --stat: do not drop rename information.
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2006-04-20  3:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Johannes Schindelin; +Cc: git

When a verbatim rename or copy is detected, we did not show
anything on the "diff --stat" for the filepair.  This makes it
to show the rename information.

Finding one that claims to have HW wear leveling is still hard, so you

When talking about flash, it's the erase cycles that are counted. 
Most NOR chips guarantee 100,000 erase cycles per eraseblock.  NAND
chips, which are what most flash drives use, can vary between 10,000 -
100,000 erases depending on the technology used.

A "total rewrite" is simply something that causes an eraseblock to be
erased.  That can vary alot, but it essentially boils down to needing
to write new data to a location in an eraseblock that has already been
written to.

To be really conservative, just don't do it ;).  Most flash drives
don't allow access to the raw flash chips, so while you can use
something like JFFS2 on them still, the benefits of that are somewhat
lost since you never really know what is going on underneath.

You're welcome.  You owe me a patch that typo-fixes and

I'll keep that in mind, but honestly I am not very interested in
that particular use case, if only because you can already do
that by committing, and running "git show".

If you do not like how the resulting merge commit looks like, we
have "git commit --amend" and "git reset --hard HEAD^" for you
already.

I (or Linus) _may_ end up doing "git diff tree1 tree2 tree3..."
as part of the planned diff rewrite, but that would be only
if/when doing things in such a generic way is not much more
trouble than the current "we only do one of index-vs-files,
tree-vs-index, tree-vs-files-via-index or tree-vs-tree and
nothing else" model.

The largely write-once nature of git should mean that the only files that 
get rewritten a lot are
 - the directories get rewritten to, since git creates new objects at a 
   reasonable pace
 - the branch references get rewritten.

In general, I'd say that git probably does less writing than most other 
SCM's are likely to do.

That said, when you say "modern flash drive", I really suspect you 
shouldn't care deeply any more. Modern flash devices can be rewritten a 
lot more than old ones could (by an order of magnitude or more), and they 
almost always have wear levelling in hw, making it even less of an issue 
(but if they don't, your biggest issue will be that you should use a 
filesystem that does it for you).

That said, if you want to be safe, I think flash memory card vendors 
guarantee only up to 10,000 write cycles (and it used to be much less). 

That's _complete_ rewrites, though, which is more than just a single 
sector write. They tend to guarantee 100,000 single-sector re-writes (ie 
more like the "directory update" things when you create a new object).

And assuming you'd count one commit as one "total rewrite" (which sounds 
unlikely - but it's certainly more than one sector - I don't know what 
they consider a total rewrite when they make up their numbers), that 
implies that to be really safe, you shouldn't do more than 10,000 commits 
before you replace your flash. Quite frankly, I suspect that's _way_ more 
conservative than you should be, but hey, since you asked..

10,000 commits is actually a fair number. The kernel has gotten 25,000 in 
a year, but the kernel is a pretty active and large project. I suspect 
that 10,000 commits is quite a lot of years for most projects.

One rule: NEVER mount your flash with the "sync" option, and use "noatime" 
to avoid unnecessary inode access time updates (that's especially true for 
git, where archive atimes aren't interesting, but it's usually a good idea 
for flash in general). Otherwise you'll get normal accesses ending up 
doign "writes" too and writes will do a lot more of them, and the above 
"one commit = one rewrite" rule-of-thumb is suddenly not at all 
conservative.

Btw, backups are still good. Flash or no flash, and whether you're very 
conservative in your flash usage or not.

Yes. And this was in fact the question I had asked in IRC. How to get
the diff again when I realize the file I updated is wrong.

And as you point out, git-unresolve does just the trick here.

The question I asked in my latest message is basically just "Shouldn't
there be a way to get the diff from the several parents to the
index?". That's slightly different, but it is the functionality I was
looking for when I was trying to recover from my update-of-botched-merge.

And its useful separately as part of the pre-commit-review I've said I
always want to be able to do, (and as you designed "git status -v" to
provide).

So there's the final piece I'd like here. I think "git status -a -v"
should provide a multi-parent diff when merging, as should "git status
-v" after manually doing an update-index while merging.

It's possible, but it's also possible I'm just failing to express

But unmerging puts my index back into a not-ready-to-commit state,
right? If so, then that's what I don't like from this proposal.

I don't understand. Why would the entire diff operation have to happen
inside the index? As soon as I'm done with the merge commit I can do
"git show" and see a multi-parent diff. That doesn't have to muck with
my index, does it?

By, example, (using the merge from the git tutorial), just before
updating the index I get a lovely multi-parent diff:

	$ git diff
	diff --cc hello
	index 06fa6a2,cc44c73..0000000
	--- a/hello
	+++ b/hello
	@@@ -1,3 -1,3 +1,4 @@@
	  Hello World
	  It's a new day for git
	 +Play, play, play
	+ Work, work, work

then I can update the index:

	$ git update-index hello

and at this point I know I can see a single-parent diff before
committing:

	$ git diff --cached
	diff --git a/hello b/hello
	index 06fa6a2..8798bdc 100644
	--- a/hello
	+++ b/hello
	@@ -1,3 +1,4 @@
	 Hello World
	 It's a new day for git
	 Play, play, play
	+Work, work, work

But what I want to do instead is at this point get the multi-parent
diff.

Finally, after I commit, it's easy to get multi-parent diff again:

	$ git commit -m "Resolved merge conflict"
	$ PAGER= git show
	commit 547599946cf5dfb04af804e9d5451beb17662dca
	Merge: 35e0e9b... 698ac13...
	Author: Carl Worth <cworth@raht.cworth.org>
	Date:   Wed Apr 19 16:51:55 2006 -0700
	
	    Resolved merge conflict
	
	diff --cc hello
	index 06fa6a2,cc44c73..8798bdc
	--- a/hello
	+++ b/hello
	@@@ -1,3 -1,3 +1,4 @@@
	  Hello World
	  It's a new day for git
	 +Play, play, play
	+ Work, work, work

So why can't I get that same result before committing without changing
my index?

If the answer is that current implementation doesn't provide for that,
(that is, it provides either an in-index multi-diff for files in
multiple stages, OR it provides a multi-parent diff for a multi-parent
commit object), then that's fine. But that doesn't seem like any
fundamental limitation preventing what I'd like to have.

Am I making more sense now? Or am I still missing something?

I suspect this is just a misunderstanding caused by insufficient
explanation, so let's try this a bit differently.

With the patch applied (or use "next" branch I'll be pushing out
shortly), let's try the core-tutorial example up to the point
where we need to make a merge commit and get conflict.

The easiest way to do it is to interrupt the t/t1200-tutorial.sh
sequence, like this:

Tutorial already run for us.  We have created a repository with
two files (`example` and `hello`), with two branches (`master`
and `mybranch`), and we are on `master`.  Both branches touched
`hello` in a conflicting way, and we have just pulled the other
branch into `master`, which conflicted, and hand resolved.

We can see the conflict like this:

------------
$ git diff
diff --cc hello
index ba42a2a,cc44c73..0000000
--- a/hello
+++ b/hello
@@@ -1,2 -1,3 +1,7 @@@

------------

Still with me so?  Now, let's say there was something wrong with
the above merge, but at this point we did not know about it.
For now, we are satisfied with this and run update-index:

------------
$ git update-index hello
$ git diff
------------

It was conflicting before, we hand-resolved and we said we are
done.  We do not see "git diff" output anymore, so we can
concentrate on other files.

But later (much later) we find out that there was something
wrong with this hand-resolve and now we would want to fix it.
The new command, "git unresolve" is designed to help us exactly
in this situation:

------------
$ git unresolve hello
$ git diff
diff --cc hello
index ba42a2a,cc44c73..0000000
--- a/hello
+++ b/hello
@@@ -1,2 -1,3 +1,4 @@@
  Hello World
 +Play, play, play
+ It's a new day for git
+ Work, work, work
------------

Then we realize that the "Play" line is not something we would
want in the merge result, because we are in serious business.
So let's drop it from the result and view the diff again:

------------
$ mv hello hellooo
$ sed -e '2d' <hellooo >hello
$ rm hellooo 
$ git diff
diff --cc hello
index ba42a2a,cc44c73..0000000
--- a/hello
+++ b/hello
------------

Oops, what happened?  There is no diff?

The default option "dense combined" (--cc) is stronger than
"combined" in that it omits hunks that have differences from
only one parent, and in this case we took "their" version, so
there is no interesting combined merge remaining to be seen.

If you want to view such not-so-interesting hunks, you could
give different option to "git diff", like so:

------------
$ git diff -c -p
diff --combined hello

* using git on flash media
From: David Tweed @ 2006-04-19 23:31 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: tweed314

I was wondering if anyone here could answer two silly
questions arising from a lack of knowledge about the
precise architecture of git (unfortunately
websearching "using git flash" turns up pages about
miserable people and Macromedia):

Is it reasonable to use git reasonably intensively
keeping it's database on a flash media drive? (Ie, the
flash drive is plugged into a standard desktop machine
and the "actual versions" of the file that're being
managed are on the machine's hard disc, but all of the
git repository data are on a flash media drive. What
I'm basically checking is that it doesn't, I dunno,
rewrite files so frequently that on a modern flash
drive it would wear out the entire drive unreasonably
quickly.

Likewise, supposing that there are several machines
with the same filesystem tree devoted to the
git-chronicled project. Supposing you've got a careful
user who checks out the latest tree from the flash
drive into the machine's hard disk upon sitting down
at one of these machines, and commits to the flash
drive & properly umounts the flash before pulling it
out. The user does this switching between several
machines randomly. (So the git repository on flash
acts to ensure that whenever I sit down at a machine
I'm presented with my latest versions of everything.)
Is there any obvious problem that could come up which
could lead to git getting confused and somehow
corrupting the archive contents on the flash drive?
(Not the kind of catastrophic loss thing that'd be
caught by taking regular backups but some corruption
that'd silently make parts of the repository
un-checkoutable in the main flash repository.) I'm
trying to imagine some program somehow getting
confused and somehow writing some vital piece of
repository data to the "current" hard disc without
realising that means it's not "always readable all the
time", unlike the flash drive proper.

(I know the answer probably ought to be "just make all
the machines networked and communicate via the network
rather than a flash drive", but assume I'm not
amenable to changing.)

Many thanks for any insight,

cheers, david tweed

... and that is exactly what this "unmerge to re-populate higher

You cannot it have both ways.  Either you want to have the unmerged
entries (so that you *can* view the combined diff), or you do
not want to have them (then you obviously cannot view the
combined diff between the working tree file and these stages).

This has the same problem as git-unresolve as compared to the old
git-resolve. Namely, it would provide an "unmerge" command that
syntactically looks like a complement to "merge" but in fact is an
entirely separate, (operating on different object types, etc.)

>  * "git update-index --unmerge", because this is just a special
>    kind of updates to the index file.

That seems like a very reasonable place to have this functionality (if
needed). Compared to things like "update-index --add" and
"update-index --remove" the desire for this operation is likely much
more rare, so perhaps doesn't merit its own command.

Meanwhile, I still think it's worth re-considering the original
problem. 

After a failed merge, I get a multi-parent diff from "git
diff". However, after updating the index, I can't find any way to get
multi-parent diffs anymore.

I'd still like to be able to do that, even when I know that what I
have in the index is good, and I don't want to undo it. So the
proposed unresolve (or update-index --unmerge, or whatever) is still
not totally satisfactory.

In this state, "git commit" is still multi-parent aware and will be
making a merged commit, (by examining .git/MERGE_HEAD). Wouldn't it be
reasonable to make "git diff --cached" also be aware of this mid-merge
state and display a multi-parent diff? at least as an option?

-Carl

PS. As a more bizarre suggestion, I've been idly wondering for some
time if it would make sense to provide names to allow the working tree
and the index to be treated as pseudo, in-progress objects. For
example, much of my initial (and occasionally residual) confusion
regarding "git diff" would be alleviated if I could run commands
something like:

	git diff HEAD TREE
	git diff HEAD INDEX
	git diff INDEX TREE

For this usage, perhaps INDEX and TREE are not the actual names that
git supports, but just some convenient refs that a user has set
up. And I don't have any proposal for what would be appropriate
low-level names for git to use for these pseudo-objects.

But I would sure be happy if I could just use refs like the above.

Then, if a concept like that existed, it should be rather
straightforward to achieve the multi-parent HEAD,MERGE_HEAD -> INDEX
diff that I'm after. It could probably come in handy in quite a few
other situations as well.

But I can imagine the idea might also break down quite badly. So just
let me know where it is totally stupid/infeasible.

Several <<< or === or >>> characters at the beginning of a line
is very likely to be leftover conflict markers from a failed
automerge the user resolved incorrectly, so detect them.

As usual, this can be defeated with "git commit --no-verify" if
you really do want to have those files, just like changes that
introduce trailing whitespaces.

True, but sad.

We clearly _do_ have the mode when we look it up using the tree:name 
shorthand, so it's a bit sad that we drop it on the floor like that.

We could do something like with the "name" part - squirrel the mode away 
for users that could use it, and use the special mode of 0 as "unknown" 
for when somebody really does give a pure SHA1 number (short or full).

But I suspect most people simply don't care, so dropping the mode might 
just be the right thing to do. Especially if we do know that we _could_ 
get the mode if people really really care and complain some day in the 
future..

(The logic being: 640kB really _is_ enough for everybody, if you just know 
that you can extend on it in the future without undue pain when people 
complain)

It is useful in a quick-and-dirty way, but does the same thing
as 'git merge -s resolve' and that is why people discussed
about removing it.  It has semantics quite different from
update-index, so I'd ignore the synonym part of your
discussion.

Time for a quick raise-hand.  Does anybody still use 'git
resolve'?  Maybe we could remove it by 1.4?

True.  I considered two other possibilities.

 * "git unmerge", because it creates unmerged index entries, and

 * "git update-index --unmerge", because this is just a special
   kind of updates to the index file.

Since you should compile test the merge result before going
anywhere, and the primary target of git is to manage sources, it
might not matter in most of the case, but for non-sources and non
compiled languages, that certainly is an issue.

When it _does_ matter, you can have a customized pre-commit hook
to look for the conflict markers, like this:

diff --git a/templates/hooks--pre-commit b/templates/hooks--pre-commit
index 43d3b6e..723a9ef 100644

Thanks. This looks quite interesting.

The name of git-unresolve seems reasonable on its own. In fact,
git-merge already uses "resolve" to describe manual conflict
resolution. For example:

	echo "Using the $best_strategy to prepare resolving by hand."

But this does introduce an unfortunate semantic clash with the
existing git-resolve, (which is an automated merge tool of some sort).
I don't know much about the existing git-resolve, but a recent thread
suggests it is a non-useful relic and people shouldn't be using it.

It would be nice if the complementary operations of manually
resolving and unresolving a merge conflict had complementary command
names. Would it be feasible to cop-opt the git-resolve name as a
synonym for update-index? (I certainly wouldn't mind a shorter name
for that operation.)

In fact, git-resolve could even go beyond being a synonym for
update-index. For example, it might also complain if it notices
conflict markers in the file. That seems like it would be a useful
convenience, (and no functionality would be robbed, since update-index
would still be available for anyone who needs to commit content that
looks like conflict markers).

Another thing I've been meaning to suggest soon is better output for
when an automatic merge fails. Currently, the final message is:

	Automatic merge failed; fix up by hand

That's not much guidance for a new user that perhaps is only used to
"git commit -a" and "git pull" that usually works. Without getting too
verbose, this might be improved with something like:

	Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts by hand, then commit the result

In addition, if git-commit is run with unmerged files, it could also
provide some extra guidance. Perhaps something like this, (just after
the list of "needs merge" files mentioned by git-update-index):

	Fix any conflicts in these files, then git-resolve each and commit again

* [RFC/PATCH] Add git-unresolve <paths>...
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2006-04-19 20:01 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Carl Worth

This is an attempt to address the issue raised on #git channel
recently by Carl Worth.

After a conflicted automerge, "git diff" shows a combined diff
to give you how the tentative automerge result differs from
what came from each branch.  During a complex merge, it is
tempting to be able to resolve a few paths at a time, mark
them "I've dealt with them" with git-update-index to unclutter
the next "git diff" output, and keep going.  However, when the
final result does not compile or otherwise found to be a
mismerge, the workflow to fix the mismerged paths suddenly
changes to "git diff HEAD -- path" (to get a diff from our
HEAD before merging) and "git diff MERGE_HEAD -- path" (to get
a diff from theirs), and it cannot show the combined anymore.

With git-unresolve <paths>..., the versions from our branch and
their branch for specified blobs are placed in stage #2 and
stage #3, without touching the working tree files.  This gives
you the combined diff back for easier review, along with
"diff --ours" and "diff --theirs".

One thing it does not do is to place the base in stage #1; this
means "diff --base" would behave differently between the run
immediately after a conflicted three-way merge, and the run
after an update-index by mistake followed by a git-unresolve.

We could theoretically run merge-base between HEAD and
MERGE_HEAD to find which tree to place in stage #1, but
reviewing "diff --base" is not that useful so....

 * Just a clean-up, comes on top of the one that returns mode
   from get_tree_entry().

* [PATCH] sha1_name.c: prepare to make get_tree_entry() reusable from others.
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2006-04-19 20:01 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

Make the mode information extracted from the tree available.

 * This comes on top of the extended SHA1 expression sha1:path
   patch Linus did.
