* [PATCH 1/3] builtin-push: also ask config for remote information
From: Johannes Schindelin @ 2006-04-30 13:23 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git


Now you can store your remote information in the config file like this:

[remote.upstream]
	url = me@company.com:the-project
	push = master:iceballs

	Obviously, this is on top of the patch to parse Pull: lines, too.

* [PATCH 3/3] fetch: optionally store the current remote information in the config

Instead of editing files, you can now say

	git pull --store junio \

and next time, just

	git pull junio

	If there is no interest in a feature like this, let's just forget

	If there is interest, I could add the same functionality to

  To: git
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.

Additionally with "prior" (or at least some convention on which of parents

I have no strong feelings either way.

Both works.

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 
me. However, I think that my patch could be a start in that direction.

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
can be set with git-repo-config.

> FETCH_HEAD can contain multiple refs. 

Which head does git-pull then use to merge, all of them?

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.

True, as long as you don't have any Push: lines in your .git/remotes/repo
file.  Any such lines act just like you gave them on the command line
which afaik effectively removes the ability to say "update all branches
we have in common".

After experimenting, "--all" does indeed provide most of the features 
that rsync provides.  A few minor niggles:

1) Doesn't propagate local branch deletions to the remote, like rsync does.

2) git-push "-f" doesn't seem to work, but "--force" does.

3) You still have to provide a $repo argument to 'git pull $repo'. 
Would like to list the default remote push URL in 
.git/remotes/{somefile} so that I need only to do "git push --all" to 
have changes send to any number of remote servers.

4) Propagation of alternatives is unclear (at least in docs).  Without 
my current pack file pre-sharing and hardlinking, I fear needlessly 
uploading vanilla linux-2.6.git changes back to kernel.org, when I do a 
push.  Currently, pack files are downloaded _once_ from kernel.org to 
local, and never re-uploaded.

Regards,

	Jeff

Alternatively/additionally you could do something like the
attached patch.  However,...

I suspect that destination repositories that you would want to
define Push: and the ones you do not want to have any Push: are
of different nature and you would not mix them.  When you do
want to have any Push: line for a repository, you would _never_
want to use the "matching refs" semantics for that repository.
So in that sense, the "fix" is not necessary, and fixing it
would probably lead to more confusion.

The Push: lines can do two related but independent things:

 - limit the set of refs that are published (hide the uncooked topics)
 - remap the source and destination refs (e.g. push master to origin)

The first can be done by not having Push: at all and by solely
relying on "matching refs" semantics.  Then usually you can just
keep doing "git push <destination>" until you have something new
to add, at that point you say "git push <destination>
<newbranch>" just once, and after that keep doing the "matching
refs" push.  You are having the remote repository remember what
the set of refs you would want there, instead of listing them on
the local "Push:" lines.  All should work well that way.

I use Push: lines to push into my private, non-bare, repository
at kernel.org machines for the second reason.  I have:

	Push: heads/master:heads/origin
        Push: heads/next:heads/next
        Push: +heads/pu:heads/pu
        Push: heads/maint:heads/maint

and leave the "master" branch checked out over there.  After
pushing, I log-in, and start my work by "git pull . origin".

The "matching refs" feature actively does a wrong thing to
remote repositories managed this way.

-- >8 --
[PATCH] git push --common <repo>

If you usually push only specific branches, it is handy to have
Push: lines only for those branches in your remotes/<repo> file.
But with that, you cannot access the underlying git-send-pack's
ability to push "only matching refs".  The flag --common can be
given to ignore Push: lines and push only matching refs.

Hmph....  I understand that this makes any difference only if
you use -D_GNU_SOURCE in CFLAGS, which implies there are _other_
things you need to have "#define _GNU_SOURCE" to compile for
your setup.  I wonder what it is...
