but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash
of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit
2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6.
Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4
refs/tags/v1.0.4
unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it
will just choose one at random.
This is useful for two things:
- automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in
git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a
much more useful description of exactly what version was installed.
- for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or
"git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can
figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug
in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6

and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in

The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a

builtin/describe.c: describe a blob
Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to
identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs,
but what are these? or [1])
When describing commits, we try to anchor them to tags or refs, as these
are conceptually on a higher level than the commit. And if there is no ref
or tag that matches exactly, we're out of luck. So we employ a heuristic
to make up a name for the commit. These names are ambiguous, there might
be different tags or refs to anchor to, and there might be different
path in the DAG to travel to arrive at the commit precisely.
When describing a blob, we want to describe the blob from a higher layer
as well, which is a tuple of (commit, deep/path) as the tree objects
involved are rather uninteresting. The same blob can be referenced by
multiple commits, so how we decide which commit to use? This patch
implements a rather naive approach on this: As there are no back pointers
from blobs to commits in which the blob occurs, we'll start walking from
any tips available, listing the blobs in-order of the commit and once we
found the blob, we'll take the first commit that listed the blob. For
example
git describe --tags v0.99:Makefile
conversion-901-g7672db20c2:Makefile
tells us the Makefile as it was in v0.99 was introduced in commit 7672db20.
The walking is performed in reverse order to show the introduction of a
blob rather than its last occurrence.

describe: do not use cmd_*() as a subroutine
The cmd_foo() function is a moral equivalent of 'main' for a Git
subcommand 'git foo', and as such, it is allowed to do many things
that make it unsuitable to be called as a subroutine, including
- call exit(3) to terminate the process;
- allocate resource held and used throughout its lifetime, without
releasing it upon return/exit;
- rely on global variables being initialized at program startup,
and update them as needed, making another clean invocation of the
function impossible.
The call to cmd_diff_index() "git describe" makes has been working
by accident that the function did not call exit(3); it sets a bad
precedent for people to cut and paste.
We could invoke it via the run_command() interface, but the diff
family of commands have helper functions in diff-lib.c that are
meant to be usable as subroutines, and using the latter does not
make the resulting code all that longer. Use it.
Note that there is also an invocation of cmd_name_rev() at the end;
"git describe --contains" massages its command line arguments to be
suitable for "git name-rev" invocation and jumps to it, never to
regain control. This call is left as-is as an exception to the
rule. When we start to allow calling name-rev repeatedly as a
helper function, we would be able to remove this call as well.

- for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or
"git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can
figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug
in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6
refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c
and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in
v2.6.14-rc5.
The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a
commit happened in.

it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA".
IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent

ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4,
but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash
of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit
2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6.
Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path:

in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6
refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c
and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in
v2.6.14-rc5.
The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a
commit happened in.

Add a "git-describe" command
It shows you the most recent tag that is reachable from a particular
commit is.
Maybe this is something that "git-name-rev" should be taught to do,
instead of having a separate command for it. Regardless, I find it useful.
What it does is to take any random commit, and "name" it by looking up the
most recent commit that is tagged and reachable from that commit. If the
match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise
it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA".
IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent
refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b
ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4,
but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash
of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit
2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6.
Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4
refs/tags/v1.0.4
unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it
will just choose one at random.
This is useful for two things:
- automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in
git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a
much more useful description of exactly what version was installed.
- for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or
"git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can
figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug
in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6
refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c
and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in
v2.6.14-rc5.
The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a
commit happened in.

Convert lookup_commit* to struct object_id
Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die,
lookup_commit_reference, and lookup_commit_reference_gently to take
struct object_id arguments.
Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this
function. This is required since in order to convert parse_object and
parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and
lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted. Not introducing a
temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a
struct object_id *, but lookup_commit would take unsigned char *,
leaving a confusing and hard-to-use interface.
parse_object_buffer will lose this temporary in a later patch.

Add a "git-describe" command
It shows you the most recent tag that is reachable from a particular
commit is.
Maybe this is something that "git-name-rev" should be taught to do,
instead of having a separate command for it. Regardless, I find it useful.
What it does is to take any random commit, and "name" it by looking up the
most recent commit that is tagged and reachable from that commit. If the
match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise
it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA".
IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent
refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b
ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4,
but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash
of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit
2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6.
Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4
refs/tags/v1.0.4
unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it
will just choose one at random.
This is useful for two things:
- automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in
git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a
much more useful description of exactly what version was installed.
- for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or
"git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can
figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug
in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6
refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c
and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in
v2.6.14-rc5.
The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a
commit happened in.

builtin/describe.c: describe a blob
Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to
identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs,
but what are these? or [1])
When describing commits, we try to anchor them to tags or refs, as these
are conceptually on a higher level than the commit. And if there is no ref
or tag that matches exactly, we're out of luck. So we employ a heuristic
to make up a name for the commit. These names are ambiguous, there might
be different tags or refs to anchor to, and there might be different
path in the DAG to travel to arrive at the commit precisely.
When describing a blob, we want to describe the blob from a higher layer
as well, which is a tuple of (commit, deep/path) as the tree objects
involved are rather uninteresting. The same blob can be referenced by
multiple commits, so how we decide which commit to use? This patch
implements a rather naive approach on this: As there are no back pointers
from blobs to commits in which the blob occurs, we'll start walking from
any tips available, listing the blobs in-order of the commit and once we
found the blob, we'll take the first commit that listed the blob. For
example
git describe --tags v0.99:Makefile
conversion-901-g7672db20c2:Makefile
tells us the Makefile as it was in v0.99 was introduced in commit 7672db20.
The walking is performed in reverse order to show the introduction of a
blob rather than its last occurrence.

builtin/describe.c: describe a blob
Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to
identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs,
but what are these? or [1])
When describing commits, we try to anchor them to tags or refs, as these
are conceptually on a higher level than the commit. And if there is no ref
or tag that matches exactly, we're out of luck. So we employ a heuristic
to make up a name for the commit. These names are ambiguous, there might
be different tags or refs to anchor to, and there might be different
path in the DAG to travel to arrive at the commit precisely.
When describing a blob, we want to describe the blob from a higher layer
as well, which is a tuple of (commit, deep/path) as the tree objects
involved are rather uninteresting. The same blob can be referenced by
multiple commits, so how we decide which commit to use? This patch
implements a rather naive approach on this: As there are no back pointers
from blobs to commits in which the blob occurs, we'll start walking from
any tips available, listing the blobs in-order of the commit and once we
found the blob, we'll take the first commit that listed the blob. For
example
git describe --tags v0.99:Makefile
conversion-901-g7672db20c2:Makefile
tells us the Makefile as it was in v0.99 was introduced in commit 7672db20.
The walking is performed in reverse order to show the introduction of a
blob rather than its last occurrence.

Add a "git-describe" command
It shows you the most recent tag that is reachable from a particular
commit is.
Maybe this is something that "git-name-rev" should be taught to do,
instead of having a separate command for it. Regardless, I find it useful.
What it does is to take any random commit, and "name" it by looking up the
most recent commit that is tagged and reachable from that commit. If the
match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise
it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA".
IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent
refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b
ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4,
but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash
of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit
2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6.
Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4
refs/tags/v1.0.4
unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it
will just choose one at random.
This is useful for two things:
- automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in
git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a
much more useful description of exactly what version was installed.
- for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or
"git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can
figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug
in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6
refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c
and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in
v2.6.14-rc5.
The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a
commit happened in.

describe --contains: default to HEAD when no commit-ish is given
'git describe --contains' doesn't default to HEAD when no commit is
given, and it doesn't produce any output, not even an error:
~/src/git ((v2.5.0))$ ./git describe --contains
~/src/git ((v2.5.0))$ ./git describe --contains HEAD
v2.5.0^0
Unlike other 'git describe' options, the '--contains' code path is
implemented by calling 'name-rev' with a bunch of options plus all the
commit-ishes that were passed to 'git describe'. If no commit-ish was
present, then 'name-rev' got invoked with none, which then leads to the
behavior illustrated above.
Porcelain commands usually default to HEAD when no commit-ish is given,
and 'git describe' already does so in all other cases, so it should do
so with '--contains' as well.
Pass HEAD to 'name-rev' when no commit-ish is given on the command line
to make '--contains' behave consistently with other 'git describe'
options. While at it, use argv_array_pushv() instead of the loop to
pass commit-ishes to 'git name-rev'.
'git describe's short help already indicates that the commit-ish is
optional, but the synopsis in the man page doesn't, so update it
accordingly as well.

describe: do not use cmd_*() as a subroutine
The cmd_foo() function is a moral equivalent of 'main' for a Git
subcommand 'git foo', and as such, it is allowed to do many things
that make it unsuitable to be called as a subroutine, including
- call exit(3) to terminate the process;
- allocate resource held and used throughout its lifetime, without
releasing it upon return/exit;
- rely on global variables being initialized at program startup,
and update them as needed, making another clean invocation of the
function impossible.
The call to cmd_diff_index() "git describe" makes has been working
by accident that the function did not call exit(3); it sets a bad
precedent for people to cut and paste.
We could invoke it via the run_command() interface, but the diff
family of commands have helper functions in diff-lib.c that are
meant to be usable as subroutines, and using the latter does not
make the resulting code all that longer. Use it.
Note that there is also an invocation of cmd_name_rev() at the end;
"git describe --contains" massages its command line arguments to be
suitable for "git name-rev" invocation and jumps to it, never to
regain control. This call is left as-is as an exception to the
rule. When we start to allow calling name-rev repeatedly as a
helper function, we would be able to remove this call as well.

Add a "git-describe" command
It shows you the most recent tag that is reachable from a particular
commit is.
Maybe this is something that "git-name-rev" should be taught to do,
instead of having a separate command for it. Regardless, I find it useful.
What it does is to take any random commit, and "name" it by looking up the
most recent commit that is tagged and reachable from that commit. If the
match is exact, it will just print out that ref-name directly. Otherwise
it will print out the ref-name, followed by the 8-character "short SHA".
IOW, with something like Junios current tree, I get:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent
refs/tags/v1.0.4-g2414721b
ie the current head of my "parent" branch (ie Junio) is based on v1.0.4,
but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash
of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for the commit
2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6.
Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the full tag path:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4
refs/tags/v1.0.4
unless there are _other_ tags pointing to that commit, in which case it
will just choose one at random.
This is useful for two things:
- automatic version naming in Makefiles, for example. We could use it in
git itself: when doing "git --version", we could use this to give a
much more useful description of exactly what version was installed.
- for any random commit (say, you use "gitk <pathname>" or
"git-whatchanged" to look at what has changed in some file), you can
figure out what the last version of the repo was. Ie, say I find a bug
in commit 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6, I just do:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-describe 39ca371c45b04cd50d0974030ae051906fc516b6
refs/tags/v2.6.14-rc4-g39ca371c
and I now know that it was _not_ in v2.6.14-rc4, but was presumably in
v2.6.14-rc5.
The latter is useful when you want to see what "version timeframe" a
commit happened in.
