yes, I agree.

Please Pavel pull from latest qgit repo. I just pushed a patch that,
at least for my
browsing style, fixes this and IMHO is better then gitk.

Patch description is as follow:
"Usability enhancement: use 'P' key to quick toggle patch viewer

   One of the limitation of patch browsing in qgit is the use of two
   frames, one for revision logs and the other for patch viewer.

   If patch viewer is docked the space is normally limited by revision
   log frame. If patch viewer is undocked it is always at top level and
   hides main view and revision logs.

   So this patch adds a new key binding 'P' that hides/unhides diff
   viewer window.

   The intended use is simple: open patch viewer and undock it so to cover
   a good chunk of screen space, then press 'P' key and diff viewer will
   disappear.

   Now you can browse the revisions as usual and toggle diff viewer with 'P'
   key so to easily view both logs and patches without any space constrains.
"

After a little bit of using I have found this way very natural, quick
and, especially important for me, do not compromise patch view size.

What I do is to size the undocked patch viewer on my left screen, and
toggle the P key, but other adjustment are possible, see:

http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/qgit_P_1.png
http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/qgit_P_2.png

Tip: let your mouse be always over main list view so that patch view
does not steal the focus and you can browse only with keyboard arrows
as well with new key bindings (see F1).

Let me know what you think.

               Marco

How about a for_each_tag() function?

get_uri() called twice.


The patch looks good and is easy to read, but wouldn't it be better
to require new c code to be thread safe and not leak memory?  Assuming
run-once-and-exit is making it difficult to push into a library.

Throwing in the tabs is a *very* big change, but, just to discuss....I
agree on the note that in qgit we have three different approaches:
fixed frames (revisions, file tree, affected files), detachable frames
(patch) and separate windows (annotations).

This is a bit strange and could give an odd GUI feeling.

I like the tab idea because it's clear and simple and fixes the 'many
approaches' problem. What I would suggest is, at least at first step,
do not change the main view and have only three tabs:

Tab1: Main view with revisions, file tree (hide able), affected files.
Tab2: Patch view with patch stat and diffs
Tab3: File history + file content/annotation view

In other words just put the frames/windows as are now in browse able
tabs. In this way main view still gives a good amount of information
without requiring changing the tab and the tabs are reserved for 'big
space' needed infos only.

In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.63.0604301524080.2646@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de>

There was thread about storing somewhere default branch we merge to during
pull, instead of using always surrent one. Different schemes were proposed,
most of them depending on the remotes configuration being available [also]
in config file.

Perhaps it would be easiest to extend existing notation in the following
way: 
  <from>:<to>[:<merge>]

By the way: it would be nice to have command/script to trasform freely
between 'remotes/' and config file.


P.S. I wonder if it would be difficult to implement 'include <file>' for
config file...

Well I agree with you that doing something like this is important.  We
should take this moment of moving things to the config file to correct
the terminology and help make things clear.  We're not storing "Pull:"
information, we're storing config/remote.$NICK.fetch data.  It's really
used just by fetch, pull just happens to call fetch.

Along that same line of reasoning, it seems more appropriate to use 
git fetch --store ...  rather than git pull --store ... to set this
information.   And there needs to be a way to change and delete the 
nick information, perhaps git fetch store junio ""  would delete the
entry. Or maybe people should just be instructed to use git-repo-config
for setting, changing and deleting?

Pull needs additional logic that allows it to merge from the proper
local branch after it calls fetch.  Right now it just uses whatever 
fetch sets as FETCH_HEAD.  It's not clear to me what is set as 
FETCH_HEAD when multiple refs are fetched from the remote.  It'll 
be even more confusing once it's possible to fetch from multiple 
remotes at once.

As for these specific patches, it doesn't appear that your change to
builtin-push allows the push variable to hold more than one remote 
repo URI or even more than one refspec, or did I misread that?
Also it seems that the refspec is used from the config file even if
the user tries to override it by specifying an alternative on the
command line.

The latter should be done, because "git fetch" really is about fetching, 
not playing games with the config.

FETCH_HEAD can contain multiple refs. And I don't get the part about 
fetching from multiple remotes: my patch does not allow for that.

But it does! Note the "uri_[current_uri++]" part of the patch.

No. It is only used when there were no refspecs specified on the command 
line:

        if (refspec_nr == 0)
                set_refspecs((const char**)refspecs_, current_refspec);

I was not following that thread closely, since it became too confusing for

If you set the environment variable GIT_REWRITE_REMOTES to "true", and 
call git-parse-remotes.sh, it will do the rewriting to the config file. 
Obviously, I did not test that part of the patch all that well.

Need? Not exactly. I don't think git ever reach complexity of Apache or
Samba configuration files, and _need_ for includes. Still dividing separate
areas of configuration (core, user, default commands options, remotes) has
it's merits.

Yeah, once you "get" it, it's not a problem; but it's not easy when you're
just learning git to separate fetch and pull.  It's made harder if git 
can't even keep them straight internally. :o/

Then we should also remove the --store option from pull and fetch.  It

Well, it could also contain default head we merge to (instead of using what
fetch set as FETCH_HEAD, usually current head while fetching), as

        pull = master:origin:merger

The --store option is similar to using 'git checkout -b newbranch' as a
shortcut for 'git branch newbranch' followed by 'git checkout newbranch'.

Well, with "--store", "git fetch" still fetches. It just happens to write 
down -- for convenience -- the possibly long url and the refspecs.

The first one.

You are right. But you are also wrong. The patch uses

	git-repo-config --get remote.$nick.url

which fails if there are more than one matching line. Note that 
"--get-all" is used to get _all_ remote.$nick.pull lines...

But of course, Linus "built git-push in" so that multiple urls are 
allowed and handled. It is probably confusing, if you can push but 
cannot fetch with the same remote information... But then, I fail to see 
how you could possibly specify the refspecs for the different urls.

Then lets take a simple case; we clone a new repo, and it has:

	[remote.origin]
	  url = git://outthere.com
	  fetch = master:origin:master
	  fetch = next:next

And we create two new branches:

	git branch br1 next ; git branch br2 next

Now say that we want a bare "git pull" to cause a merge from 
the "next" branch regardless of which new branch we have checked
out.   In the above scheme we have to do something like:

	   fetch = next:next:br1:br2

That doesn't look right.  It seems better to have:
	
	[branch.origin]
		description = "Pristine master from Junio"
	[branch.br1]
		description = "blah"
		defaultMerge = "next"
	[branch.br2]
		description = "More blah"
		LastMerge = 03/27/2008 3am
		defaultMerge = "next"
		qgitTagColor = Blue

Which can be confusing since you can only specify one "first one"
in a remotes file (or .git/config)  yet you can pull while 
having any random local branch being checkout out, each with
a different merge branch being appropriate.

Yeah, I was speaking only of git push, but see you were speaking of 
fetch.

Anyway, thanks for helping me understand your proposal, it seems
flexible enough to handle just about any case one might want to
throw at it.

Thanks!  This is why I still use rsync, even though everybody and their 
mother tells me "Linus says rsync is deprecated."

Fact is, rsync is still the best to push a _bunch_ of branches, in the 
same tree, all in one command.  In an attempt to get away from rsync, I 
even tried putting multiple git:// entries into .git/remotes/origin, 
then doing "git push" with no args, without success.

Each time I have a non-trivial libata update, I've updated twelve (12) 
branches, and think its highly silly to have to run

	url=git://git.kernel.org/...jgarzik/...
	git push $url $branch:$branch

twelve times.

No. You're using rsync because you're actively doing something _wrong_.

Not so. My builtin thing doesn't help at all, because it doesn't _need_ to 
help that case. You can already push as many branches as you want with the 
old "git push".

My builtin thing helps push to multiple _repositories_, not to multiple 
branches. I push out my stuff to two separate repos at master.kernel.org, 
and one at an osdl.org server machine, because if I lose my tree, I want 
to be sure I have alternate backups.

That's not how it works, and not how it has ever worked.

The way it works is that

	"git push repo"

with no branch specs will update all branches that are IN COMMON between 
your tree and the repository you're pushing to. In other words, it's meant 
to sync up the branches that you have already pushed.

If you want to push other branches, you need to do

	git push repo branch1 branch2 branch3 ...

or

	git push --all repo

where the latter does exactly what it says (use "--tags" instead of 
"--all" to just send all tags).

In all cases you will find that it's a hell of a lot more efficient than 
rsync ever has been.

we have in common".
