Hej,

I could re-produce the problem here:
git version 1.8.0.197.g5a90748
Mac OS X (that what I had at hands fastest)


After doing 
git checkout 5db4a05b5c8f9c420fc418727cafbb58e6051f1e
(same as master ?)
We see that 
clientgui/AsyncRPC.cpp
is full of CRLF and as it seems only CRLF, no single LF.

The file is classified as text:
$git check-attr text  clientgui/AsyncRPC.cpp
$clientgui/AsyncRPC.cpp: text: set
(And we can see this in .gitattributes as well)

(And there are more files affected, but I will only look at one of them)

If we remove the text attribute like this:
$mv .gitattributes .gitattributes.sav
we see

$git status
deleted:    .gitattributes
#       modified:   clientgui/sg_BoincSimpleFrame.cpp


If we dig into the file:
$git ls-files -s clientgui/AsyncRPC.cpp
100644 6832333ad133181986ada54fe0229b45a30c614a 0       clientgui/AsyncRPC.cpp

We see that it is recorded under 6832333ad1
And if we look into it:
$git show  6832333 | od -c
[snip]
we can see that the file has CRLF in the repo.

So my conclusion is:
The file has CRLF in the repo, but should have LF.
This is not a good thing, and the files need to be normalized.

A very good instruction how to do this, is found here:
http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitattributes.html
(You may want to search for "End-of-line conversion" or "core.autocrlf")

When I played with git-replace in the past, I imagined that it could be

   git replace <object> --commit ...commit options...

that would do the trick.

We could implement it with a git-replace--commit helper script that
generates the replacement commit using the ...commit options... (to be
defined what this should be), and git-replace would just pick its output
(the SHA1 of the generated commit) as a substitute for the <replacement>
argument that would have to be given without the --commit option.

Well, I'm not sure this is intuitive enough to be useful to the average user :)
Adding git-rev-parse calls for convenience, and calling git-replace, would make it
a more complete recipe, and we could suggest that as an alias in the collection that's
in the wiki (which is not even linked any more from git-scm.com btw), but imho that
would be hiding valuable information in a dark corner.

Anyway, in this form it will only replace a parent with another, whereas a full
graft replacement should allow to write a different number of new parents instead.
That is, instead of this simple sed, something like:

(NEWPARENTS='parent xxx\nparent yyy\nparent zzz\n; git cat-file commit master | perl -ne 'BEGIN { $state=0 }; if ($state eq 0) { if (/^parent/) { $state=1 } else { print } } elsif ($state eq 1) { if (/^author/) { print "'"$NEWPARENTS"'"; print; $state=2 } } else { print }')

Well, a short bash script should be more readable and possibly faster, but that's the
idea.  Such a script could be a candidate for contrib ?

I'm running a stable Gentoo Linux x86, 32bit with gcc 4.6.3 and current
stable kernel 3.6.1x and 3.7.1, file system is ext4 at an external USB
2.0 drive.

FWIW from the boinc maintainer I know that all tags till 7.0.3X are
imported from svn.

I upgraded to git 1.8.0.2 from 1.7.8.6 - situation is the same. The
emerge gave :

failed test(s): t3600 t7508

fixed   0
success 8342
failed  8
broken  56
total   8528

Ok, now answering your other questions:

The output is empty but "git status" shows still modified files.

I do use "commit --amend" a lot, but I still appreciate having "reset
--soft". For example, to squash the last few commits:

git reset --soft HEAD^^^ && git commit --amend

or undo "commit --amend":

git reset --soft HEAD@{1} && git commit --amend

Maybe there's a better way of doing that?

Not quite, in two ways, I think. First, it _would_ update the index,
wouldn't it? Second, "git checkout <rev> -- path" doesn't delete files
that are deleted in <rev> as compared to head.

I'm considering implementing support for an operation that would do
what I expected "git checkout <rev> -- <path>" and "git reset --hard
<rev> -- <path>" to do. I'm currently planning for it to be exactly
"git reset --hard <rev> -- <path>" (which is currently simply not
allowed), but perhaps it would be more natural as an option to
checkout (--also-deleted or something)?

I like Johannes' suggestion of using "<branch>" in the --detach case

AsciiDoc renders these horizontally separated by a comma when
formatted as a man page instead of vertically as written (and as
rendered by the HTML documentation.)  I think this makes this
separation into two less effective, but at least it doesn't line wrap
on an 80-wide terminal like the previous title did.

I like these, and I think they are conveying the right amount of
information. There is a slight discrepancy between the <branch> and
<commit> versions, where it seems we are assuming that by checking out
a commit you are intending to work 'on top of' it. This could be
avoided by using the term 'with' in both cases. Also, they are in
different tenses, but I'm not sure which is preferred ('Prepare to' vs
'To prepare for').

In the second tense, these opening lines might look like this:

+       To prepare for working with <branch>, switch to it by updating

+       To prepare for working with <commit>, detach HEAD at it
+       (see "DETACHED HEAD" section), and update the index and the

Hi Toralf,

That does look like a weird issue. What operating system are you on?

What happens if you do a hard reset to the branch?

What is the ouptut of git diff --cached ?

Here is a work-in-progress relative to Chris's 83c9989
(Documentation/git-checkout.txt: document 70c9ac2 behavior,
2012-12-17).

Even though "switch to that specific branch" may be easy to grasp as
a concept, I do not think "switch to detached HEAD" makes much
sense, so I ended up with "switch" for the <branch> case, and
"detach" for the "--detach" one, at least for now.

Not a waste. I was hoping somebody (not necessarily you) may be able
to come up with a cleaner solution.  Unfortunately it hasn't
happened (yet), but discussing issues on the list is often not a
waste.

We could introduce git_test_print and git_test_println shell
functions that default to the current "printf", and let the users
override these by including a custom scriptllet from t/test-lib.sh,
or something.

There is no need to say "sorry" here; catching this kind of mistake
is what we have the patch review process for, after all.  If
anything, "thanks" is more appropriate ;-)

And the way you stated the reasoning behind this change in the
proposed commit log message was really good.  It showed clearly that
the patch was an attempt to clean up the code, not was an attempt to
change the behaviour to drop the trailing slash or space.  If it
said "let's use ls-tree --name-only" without such an explanation on
"why", future readers of "git log" would have been left scratching
their heads, wondering "why" the change was made.

Thanks.

I don't have much experience with svn, so I didn't make that
connection. Independent of svn usage, what is wrong with the term
'switch'?

I would be interested to hear how translators communicate the checkout
concept, as I assume the word checkout doesn't exist in many
languages. For me, switching between revisions is a natural way of
phrasing the action, but perhaps there is a better way of saying the
same thing?

Ah ok, I didn't pick up on that nuance. Your suggestion from earlier
has, for example, "Prepare to work on building new history on
<branch>" which *is* excluding that use case. Perhaps modifying
similar lines to something like "Prepare to work with the
repository/history/something from <branch>" or maybe just "Prepare to
work with <branch>" would better encapsulate those use cases.
Following lines would expand on what it means to work with a branch or
commit, and the technical details of updates to the repositories
current state.

That is not 2-digit number.

A few historical trivia may help.

Originally we said "you can use -M2 to choose 2/10" (like "gzip"
taking compression levels between "-0" to "-9").  Then Linus came up
with a clever idea to let people specify arbitrary precision by
letting you say "-M25" to mean 25/100 and "-M254" to mean 254/1000.

Read the numbers without per-cent as if it has decimal point before
it (i.e. -M005 is talking about 0.005 which is 0.5%).  Full hundred
per-cent has to be spelled with per-cent sign for obvious reasons
with this scheme but that cannot be avoided.  It is a special case.

Thanks, this series looks fine to me.

I skimmed through the original thread. It looks like we got bogged down
in discussion of whether GIT_ASKPASS should fall back on error, and
whether SSH_ASKPASS should come _after_ the terminal has been tried and
failed. This version of the series brings the behavior of git-svn in
line with the rest of git, which I think is a good first step.

I don't know whether we want to take a second step and tweak the order
in both perl and C code. Since nobody has mentioned it in the interim
months, I'm assuming it's not a big deal, and people are happy enough
with the current ordering. So unless somebody feels strongly about it,
it's not worth bothering.

* bug? 'git log -M100' is different from 'git log -M100%'
From: Sitaram Chamarty @ 2012-12-17 23:34 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

Hi,

When using -M with a number to act as a threshold for declaring
a change as being a rename, I found a... quirk.  Any 2-digit
number after the M will work, but if the number is 100, it will
require a % to be appended to be effective.

Here's a transcript that will demonstrate the problem when run
in an empty directory.

    # setup
    git init
    seq 1 100 > f1
    git add f1
    git commit -m f1
    git rm f1
    ( seq 1 45; seq 1001 1010; seq 56 100 ) > f2
    git add f2
    git commit -m f2

    # here's the buglet

    git log -1 --stat --raw -M
    # this tells you the files are 83% similar

    git log -1 --stat --raw -M82
    # this shows it like a rename

    git log -1 --stat --raw -M83
    # this also

    git log -1 --stat --raw -M84
    # this shows two separate files

    git log -1 --stat --raw -M99
    # this also

    # so far so good...

    git log -1 --stat --raw -M100
    # but this shows it like a rename

    git log -1 --stat --raw -M100%
    # adding a percent sign fixes it, now they're two separate
    # files.  It seems to be required only when you ask for 100%

* [PATCH 3/3] git-svn, perl/Git.pm: extend and use Git->prompt method for querying users
From: Sven Strickroth @ 2012-12-18  0:28 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Junio C Hamano; +Cc: git, Jeff King, Jakub Narebski, Eric Wong
In-Reply-To: <7vehiol9w2.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org>

git-svn reads usernames and other user queries from an interactive
terminal. This cause GUIs (w/o STDIN connected) to hang waiting forever
for git-svn to complete (http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/issues/detail?id=967).

This change extends the Git::prompt helper, so that it can also be used
for non password queries, and makes use of it instead of using
hand-rolled prompt-response code that only works with the interactive
terminal.

* [PATCH 1/3] git-svn, perl/Git.pm: add central method for prompting passwords
From: Sven Strickroth @ 2012-12-18  0:28 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Junio C Hamano; +Cc: git, Jeff King, Jakub Narebski, Eric Wong
In-Reply-To: <7vehiol9w2.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org>

git-svn reads passwords from an interactive terminal or by using
GIT_ASKPASS helper tool. This cause GUIs (w/o STDIN connected) to hang
waiting forever for git-svn to complete
(http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/issues/detail?id=967).

Commit 56a853b62c0ae7ebaad0a7a0a704f5ef561eb795 also tried to solve
this issue, but was incomplete as described above.

Instead of using hand-rolled prompt-response code that only works with the
interactive terminal, a reusable prompt() method is introduced in this commit.

* [PATCH 2/3] perl/Git.pm: Honor SSH_ASKPASS as fallback if GIT_ASKPASS is not set
From: Sven Strickroth @ 2012-12-18  0:28 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Junio C Hamano; +Cc: git, Jeff King, Jakub Narebski, Eric Wong
In-Reply-To: <7vehiol9w2.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org>

If GIT_ASKPASS environment variable is not set, git-svn does not try to use
SSH_ASKPASS as git-core does. This change adds a fallback to SSH_ASKPASS.
