I've been looking at it, just now, and I might try to clean stuff up. The 
problem I'm running into is that, in some cases, you have to call 
setup_git_directory_gently(), and it might determine that there is no git 
repo, but then the various environment functions don't distinguish between 
the situation where you haven't called it at all and the situation where 
you called it and determined there to be no answer. Furthermore, a lot of 
functions seem to be getting git_path(something), ignoring the fact that 
there is no repo, and acting like there is a repo that has simply not got 
the file it is looking for.

Yup, sorry, got them the wrong way around for some reason.

Yes, that sounds very reasonable, and I think that's the right way to
go. This leaves us with only one thing, we need a remote HEAD for 'git
clone hg::/path/to/repo' to work and have it check out a branch, I
think a seperate 'head' command might be appropriate? If supported it
returns the which local symref (e.g. 'refs/heads/trunkr' in the svn
case) should be pointed at by HEAD. If not supported we can just not
set it and clone will give the default 'no remote HEAD, nothing
checked out' message, which would probably be best for p4?

Somebody who says "this commit is mine, and its author is this other
person" is not making any sense.  The resulting commit can either have
that person (i.e. the committer) as the author, which is what the "claim"
option means, or it can have the person named with --author as the author,
but both cannot be true at the same time.

When you introduce a new option, sometimes it cannot sanely be used with
an existing option.  In such a case, two options (the new one and the
existing one) are called mutually exclusive.  And you add some code to
catch an user error to use them together.

How are the existing tests that try "commit -c" do this?  I do not think
there is any here-text redirect into "git commit".

It is sometimes easier to show by example than by giving nudging words
that only show direction, so here is a suggested rewrite on top of your
patch.  I am not very happy with the option name "mine" either, but at
least I think this gets the semantics right.

The last one was probably harder to read since it was an interdiff.  Here
is what I am considering to queue.

No, I didn't use --mine option when I ran "commit --amend" to record this
one ;-)

Subject: [PATCH] git commit --mine: ignore authorship information taken from -c/-C/--amend

When we use -c, -C, or --amend, we are trying one of two things: using the
source as a template or modifying a commit with corrections.

When these options are are used, the authorship and timestamp recorded in
the newly created commit is always taken from the original commit.  This
is inconvenient when you want to just borrow the commit log message, or
your change is so significant that you should take over the authorship
(with the blame for bugs you introduced).

Why not have the regular list report:

@refs/heads/trunkr HEAD

or whatever it is, again like native git? That is, SVN would have an 
interaction like:

> list
< ? refs/heads/trunkr
< ? refs/heads/my-branch
< ? refs/tags/v1.0
< @refs/heads/trunkr HEAD
<

This is similar to the response from the curl helper, except that it uses 
"?" for the sha1s because it doesn't know them until they're imported.

No, I genuinely didn't know what Daniel's intention was when a transport
has NULL in its remote field.  If it is much easier and cleaner not to
allow such a transport, then let's declare that and fix ls-remote that
should be the sole existing caller that used to use such a transport.

Thanks for looking into this, both of you.

Very nicely and concisely written.  Noise words like "simply" and
"basically" might be better omitted, though (not just this part but in the
rest of the document as well).

Yes, I admit I have the tendency to excessively use them, too.

Two-and-a-half issues.

 - You are calling distinction between ssh/git/file "transport", and the
   actual data exchange for pushing/fetching "protocol" in the first part
   of the document, and I agree with the choice of words.  The header for
   this section should read "Git Transport", as that is what you are
   describing.

 - The example and the first line of the description contradict with each
   other.

 - As you already said that receive-pack could be requested over git
   transport in the earlier part, I would fix the description on the first
   line to say "... by sending 'command' and 'repository' on the wire ..."
   to make it explain the _concept_.

This depends on the intended audience of this document, but if we are
writing for people who want to implement their own gitosis and gitolite to
replace the login shell spawned by ssh daemon, you may want to explain the
"command line" given to it a bit more precisely.  Specifically:

 - The "command name" is spelled with dash (e.g. git-upload-pack), but
   this can be overridden by the client;

 - The repository path is always quoted with sq (i.e. by sq_quote_buf()).

I've been disturbed by this "all" since your first draft, as fetching data
reachable from only a few refs but not all is perfectly a valid thing to
do, but I am not sure if it is worth complicating this document to clarify
this point.  Probably not---but then the above would read perfectly well
without "all".

I am not sure what audience this paragraph is trying to help by making it
sound as if git transport allows customized daemon but ssh transport
doesn't.  gitosis and gitolite are examples of "own daemon that sees that
the client is trying to invoke those commands and simply handle the
requests" over SSH, aren't they?  So if the purpose is to help server
authors, this paragraph does more harm than being useful.  If the purpose
is to satisfy curiosity, I doubt this level of detail is necessary.

Also there is a terminology mix-up; the last sentence should begin with
"Over the Git transport".

Not "the commit SHA", but "object name". a ref can point at a non-commit
object, such as a tag.

We should explain this is actually a long single line, and line folding
with backslashes is solely for the readers of this document, after this
sample response.

Hmm, LF ("\n") makes me wonder how precise we would want to be.  We
probably should also say we use ASCII (meaning "not EBCDIC") somewhere but
that level of details can wait until a more later draft..

I have a vague recollection that in a recent discussion (not discussion on
this documentation patch, but on a "builtin-fetch.c" patch around mid
September), we decided that the above two SHOULD should be MUST.  Another
MUST that is missing from here is that a line that describes a peeled tag
MUST immediately follow the tag itself.

Why do we need to retroactively loosen these to allow uppercases?  Are

Right, -m/--merged is what you want. Before applying any of the
patches, it tries to reverse-apply all of them in reverse
order---successful applications mean the patch was already in
upstream. It works surprisingly well.

Reposting (without even saying so) doesn't necessarily increase your
chance of getting responses. Would would help:

- saying you're talking about gitk/git view/whatever it is you're
"clicking" on

- providing a minimal example others can reproduce. That would be one
where a tag on a detached head (assuming that's what you mean) has no
precedes/follow but a tag "on a branch" does have that info

* Unhappy git in a jailshell?
From: Alex MDC @ 2009-11-02 12:16 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

Hello,

I'm trying to use git on a linux server, but unfortunately I've only
been granted jailshelled access. Most of git works, but some commands
just fail to run, e.g.
git repack
git rebase
git index-pack

All these commands fail with the error "git: git-xxx is not a
git-command. See git --help". However most other every-day commands
work just fine (add, status, commit...)

I've been in contact with the server admins and they kindly upgraded
git to the latest 1.6.5.2 release but that didn't help. I enquired
about the contents of `git --exec-path` (as I don't have access from
the jailshell) and they said that all the "missing" commands are
present in that directory.

I also tried "git --help -all" but that doesn't show any commands in
the output! In a way I'm wondering how it is working at all...

So I guess my question is, why are some commands working but not
others? If all commands are treated uniformly by using the command
binary from the libexec dir it would seem as though all commands
should work or all should be "missing".

Also, are they any ideas on how to get the missing commands to work?

Thanks for your help,

* git pull --rebase and losing commits
From: Peter Krefting @ 2009-11-02 12:26 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git Mailing List

Hi!

I have put my web site under Git control, and am running into some problems.

Whenever I push changes, I go via a bare repository, which then is pulled 
into a checked out tree in my "public_html" directory. However, some scripts 
I have does create files directly under the "public_html", and some of them 
I want to push into the Git history.

I am trying to use --rebase everywhere to get a linear history in the cases 
where I have pushed changes to the bare repository while there were 
uncommited changes to the public_html directory.

I have come up with a script that does this (I have removed the 
uninteresting non-git commands):

  # Commit local changes
  git add path/to/script/output/*
  for file in $(git diff-index --cached --name-only HEAD); do
   havenew=1
  done
  if [ $havenew = 1 ]; then
   git commit --quiet -m 'Automatic' path/to/script/output/*
  fi

  # Update tree (--strategy=ours avoids merge conflicts)
  git pull --rebase --strategy=ours origin master

  # Push rebased local changes
  git push origin master

  # Update all references
  git fetch origin master:remotes/origin/master

However, this seems to lose commits. When I ran it today, it commited an 
automatic change, and then pulled a tree that did not contain that change, 
making the changed file just disappear. I had to dig through the reflog to 
find it:

- This is the auto-commit:
   608b7eda553552841f4a16167c680fc74ed3c55a 
509926edd306bb2f09f563a7cfda800a4f0fdaed Peter Krefting 
<peter@softwolves.pp.se> 1257162580 +0100      commit: Automatisk 
bloggkommentarsuppdatering

- This is the "git pull":
   509926edd306bb2f09f563a7cfda800a4f0fdaed 
9088bd4801a9008fe3fca0d351f97544cee014f1 Peter Krefting

refs/heads/master onto 9088bd4801a9008fe3fca0d351f97544cee014f1

The history of 9088bd... does not contain the rebased version of 509926..., 
it just went missing.

I guess I am missing something vital here.

* [PATCH] Skip translation of wrong Tcl version text
From: Bernt Hansen @ 2009-11-02 12:41 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Pat Thoyts; +Cc: git, Paul Mackerras
In-Reply-To: <874opel7de.fsf@gollum.intra.norang.ca>

We check the required Tcl version number before we setup msgcat for
language translation.  If the Tcl version is too old just display the
untranslated error text.

The caller of show_error can now pass an alternative function for mc.
The Tcl list function turns the transalation into a no-op.

This fixes the
    Error in startup script: invalid command name "mc"
when attempting to start gitk with Tcl 8.3.

Signed-off-by: Bernt Hansen <bernt@norang.ca>
---
I tested this patch with both Tcl 8.3 and 8.4.

This is an alternative to the previous 2 patches I sent attempting
to initialize msgcat before first use.  This patch is much simpler
but does not attempt to translate the wrong version message text.

This patch fixes the version number error message by displaying it
untranslated since msgcat is not initialized yet.  The current
initialization code for msgcat uses normalize which is only available as
of Tcl 8.4 so moving the code up front didn't work in Tcl 8.3.

Most Git commands are builtin, so they are executed by git.exe directly,
but some commands are implemented as separate binaries or shell files.
These commands require `git --exec-path` in PATH to run. Normally, git
adds `git --exec-path` in its environment before running them.

Apparently, jailshelled access prevents that somehow. So, I suggest you
contact your system administrator and tell him that you need to be able
to run files from `git --exec-path` to being able to use git, as git
needs them internally for normal work.

I didn't repost. Or at the least, I didn't mean to repost. The mailing list
kept complaining (spamming me) that my post was pending, and I eventually
realised that was the old forum. I deleted it from there, and copy-pasted
here. I didn't even realise it had posted here, and that when I deleted from
the old forum, it didn't delete here.

Example (unless specified, commands as entered into bash)

mkdir temp
cd temp
git init
gitk --all &
git commit --allow-empty -m '1'
git tag v1
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.1'
git tag v1.1
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.2'
git tag v1.2
(in gitk, press ctrl+f5; all follows and precedes info is there)
git checkout v1.1
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.1.1'
git tag v1.1.1
(in gitk, press f5; follows and precedes info missing for v1.1 and v1.1.1)
(close gitk)
gitk --all &
(info still missing)
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.1.2'
git tag v1.1.2
(in gitk, press f5, info still missing)
git checkout master
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.3'
git tag v1.3
(in gitk, press f5, info still missing)
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.4'
git tag v1.4
(in gitk, press f5, info still missing)
git checkout -b temp v1.2
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.2.1'
git tag v1.2.1
(in gitk, press f5, info still missing)
git checkout master
git branch -D temp
git commit --allow-empty -m '1.5'
git tag v1.5
(in gitk, press f5, info still missing)


In the end, the only follows/precedes info is:
v1: precedes v1.1
v1.1: follows v1, precedes v1.2
v1.2: follows v1.1
All the rest is missing.

I have never heard tag being described as headless... A tag is just a
pointer on some commit (annotated tag contains additional information
such as creater, data, message), in any case, it has no direct relation
to any branch.

Tags do not store any precedes or follows information, no matter how you
created them, but visualization tools can look at the tree and display
what was before some commit and what was after it. Without seeing your
tree, it is impossible to tell whether gitk (or what you use?) displayed
that correctly or not.

Well, not the tag itself, but the commit the tags points to. Same thing.
Like you're always bothered to say "the commit that the tag v1 points to"
rather than "the v1 tag".
Also, see my post above.

Can you (Alex) find out whether you are allowed to run those binaries
from that path directly? In that case we could rethink our strategy and
adjust for the case where we can't set the environment.

Not very surprising if you use the 'ours' strategy, which doesn't
merge at all but instead takes the 'ours' side (IIRC that's the
upstream for a rebase, but I always have these mixed up).  It is *not*
the often requested (but ill-defined and hence never implemented)
"resolve all conflict hunks in favour of ours" strategy.

So what happens is that git-rebase rebuilds some commit C from your
side on some base B from the remote, but the 'ours' strategy turns the
*tree* for C' into that of B.  Then git-rebase sees that the trees
haven't changed, and concludes that C has already been applied and
drops it.

The "ours" strategy doesn't just avoid merge conflicts, it avoids making
any changes at all. The ours strategy means "just keep our state, just
pretend that we've merged". And rebase will see that there were no
changes and conclude:

Already applied: 0001 test commit

And thus it will drop the commit.

* Binary files in a linear repository
From: Markus Hitter @ 2009-11-02 15:08 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git
In-Reply-To: <S1754797AbZKBONX/20091102141323Z+268@vger.kernel.org>


Hello all,

currently I'm planning a frontend tool which makes use of only a  
small subset of git. The repo's contents is all binary (think of  
pictures). Accordingly, I can't merge in a meaningful way, making  
branches of very limited use.

The situation I'm trying to solve is:

- A revision earlier than the latest one is checked out.

- Files of this earlier commit are modified.

- I want to record this earlier commit along with it's modifications  
as a new commit on top of master, ignoring intermediate commits:

com005  <-- master
com004
com003  <-- HEAD, files modified
com002
com001 (initial commit)

One solution to do this is to move all files somewhere else, check  
out master, deleting all checked out files, placing the moved away  
files back into place and committing the result as com006. Obviously,  
this is a pretty complex operation, just waiting to exploit coding  
mistakes. Additionally, this will be slow.

Now I'm thinking about a much simpler solution: Simply declare the  
current set of files as (a modified) master/com005 and commit them. A  
"cp $GIT_DIR/master $GIT_DIR/HEAD" followed by a commit would do it.

Now my question: Is it safe to tweak the files in $GIT_DIR this way  
or will this corrupt the repository?


Thanks for any opinions,
Markus
