The new command 'git merge' takes the current head and one or more
remote heads, with the commit log message for the automated case.
If the heads being merged are simple fast-forwards, it acts the
same way as the current 'git resolve'. Otherwise, it tries
different merge strategies and takes the result from the one that
succeeded auto-merging, if there is any.
If no merge strategy succeeds auto-merging, their results are
evaluated for number of paths needed for hand resolving, and the
one with the least number of such paths is left in the working
tree. The user is asked to resolve them by hand and make a
commit manually.
The calling convention from the 'git merge' driver to merge
strategy programs is very simple:
- A strategy program is to be called 'git-merge-<strategy>'.
- They take input of this form:
<common1> <common2> ... '--' <head> <remote1> <remote2>...
That is, one or more the common ancestors, double dash, the
current head, and one or more remote heads being merged into
the current branch.
- Before a strategy program is called, the working tree is
matched to the current <head>.
- The strategy program exits with status code 0 when it
successfully auto-merges the given heads. It should do
update-cache for all the merged paths when it does so -- the
index file will be used to record the merge result as a
commit by the driver.
- The strategy program exits with status code 1 when it leaves
conflicts behind. It should do update-cache for all the
merged paths that it successfully auto-merged, and leave the
cache entry in the index file as the same as <head> for paths
it could not auto-merge, and leave its best-effort result
with conflict markers in the working tree when it does so.
- The strategy program exists with status code other than 0 or
1 if it does not handle the given merge at all.
As examples, this commit comes with merge strategies based on
'git resolve' and 'git octopus'.

(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with

The reverse patch application using "git apply" sometimes is too
rigid. Since the user would get used to resolving conflicting merges
by hand during the normal merge experience, using the same machinery
would be more helpful rather than just giving up.
Cherry-picking and reverting are essentially the same operation.
You pick one commit, and apply the difference that commit introduces
to its own commit ancestry chain to the current tree. Revert applies
the diff in reverse while cherry-pick applies it forward. They share
the same logic, just different messages and merge direction.

This script uses the list of heads and their origin multi-head "git

merge on top of the current HEAD using them.
The implementation tries to be strict for the sake of safety. It
insists that your working tree is clean (no local changes) and matches
the HEAD, and when any of the merged heads does not automerge, the
whole process is aborted and tries to rewind your working tree is to

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
The 'git show-branches' command turns out to be reasonably useful,
but painfully slow. So rewrite it in C, using ideas from merge-base
while enhancing it a bit more.
- Unlike show-branches, it can take --heads (show me all my
heads), --tags (show me all my tags), or --all (both).
- It can take --more=<number> to show beyond the merge-base.
- It shows the short name for each commit in the extended SHA1
syntax.
- It can find merge-base for more than two heads.
Examples:
$ git show-branch --more=6 HEAD
is almost the same as "git log --pretty=oneline --max-count=6".
$ git show-branch --merge-base master mhf misc
finds the merge base of the three given heads.
$ git show-branch master mhf misc
shows logs from the top of these three branch heads, up to their
common ancestor commit is shown.
$ git show-branch --all --more=10
is poor-man's gitk, showing all the tags and heads, and
going back 10 commits beyond the merge base of those refs.

This patch renames COPTS to CFLAGS, because it's COPTS that was user
overridable. Also, -Wall is moved there because it's optional. What
was CFLAGS is now ALL_CFLAGS, which users should not override.
Defines are added to DEFINES. Since ALL_CFLAGS is recursively expanded,
it uses the final value of DEFINES.
Implicit rules are made explicit since the implicit rules use CFLAGS
rather than ALL_CFLAGS. I believe that serious projects should not rely
on implicit rules anyway. Percent rules are used because they are used
already and because they don't need the .SUFFIXES target.

This adds a new "git bisect" command.
- "git bisect start"
start bisection search.
- "git bisect bad <rev>"
mark some version known-bad (if no arguments, then current HEAD)
- "git bisect good <revs>..."
mark some versions known-good (if no arguments, then current HEAD)
- "git bisect reset <branch>"
done with bisection search and go back to your work (if
no arguments, then "master").
The way you use it is:
git bisect start
git bisect bad # Current version is bad
git bisect good v2.6.13-rc2 # v2.6.13-rc2 was the last version
# tested that was good
When you give at least one bad and one good versions, it will
bisect the revision tree and say something like:
Bisecting: 675 revisions left to test after this
and check out the state in the middle. Now, compile that kernel, and boot
it. Now, let's say that this booted kernel works fine, then just do
git bisect good # this one is good
which will now say
Bisecting: 337 revisions left to test after this
and you continue along, compiling that one, testing it, and depending on
whether it is good or bad, you say "git bisect good" or "git bisect bad",
and ask for the next bisection.
Until you have no more left, and you'll have been left with the first bad
kernel rev in "refs/bisect/bad".
Oh, and then after you want to reset to the original head, do a
git bisect reset
to get back to the master branch, instead of being in one of the bisection
branches ("git bisect start" will do that for you too, actually: it will
reset the bisection state, and before it does that it checks that you're
not using some old bisection branch).
Not really any harder than doing series of "quilt push" and "quilt pop",
now is it?
[jc: This patch is a rework based on what Linus posted to the
list. The changes are:
- The original introduced four separate commands, which was
three too many, so I merged them into one with subcommands.
- Since the next thing you would want to do after telling it
"bad" and "good" is always to bisect, this version does it
automatically for you.
- I think the termination condition was wrong. The original
version checked if the set of revisions reachable from next
bisection but not rechable from any of the known good ones
is empty, but if the current bisection was a bad one, this
would not terminate, so I changed it to terminate it when
the set becomes a singleton or empty.
- Removed the use of shell array variable.

The git-update-server-info command prepares informational files
to help clients discover the contents of a repository, and pull
from it via a dumb transport protocols. Currently, the
following files are produced.
- The $repo/info/refs file lists the name of heads and tags
available in the $repo/refs/ directory, along with their
SHA1. This can be used by git-ls-remote command running on
the client side.
- The $repo/info/rev-cache file describes the commit ancestry
reachable from references in the $repo/refs/ directory. This
file is in an append-only binary format to make the server
side friendly to rsync mirroring scheme, and can be read by
git-show-rev-cache command.
- The $repo/objects/info/pack file lists the name of the packs
available, the interdependencies among them, and the head
commits and tags contained in them. Along with the other two
files, this is designed to help clients to make smart pull
decisions.
The git-receive-pack command is changed to invoke it at the end,
so just after a push to a public repository finishes via "git
push", the server info is automatically updated.

might be useful for scripting too, if people want to see the contents of
a pack.
It's meant to be used by "git fetch" for the local and ssh case.
It doesn't actually do the fetching now, but it does discover the common
commit point.
Nico pointed out that having verify_pack.c and verify-pack.c was
confusing. Rename verify_pack.c to pack-check.c as suggested,
and enhances the verification done quite a bit.
- Built-in sha1_file unpacking knows that a base object of a
deltified object _must_ be in the same pack, and takes
advantage of that fact.
- Earlier verify-pack command only checked the SHA1 sum for the
entire pack file and did not look into its contents. It now
checks everything idx file claims to have unpacks correctly.
- It now has a hook to give more detailed information for
objects contained in the pack under -v flag.

It's not working yet, but it's at the point where I want to be able to
track my changes. The theory of operation is that this is the "remote"
side of a "git push". It can tell us what references the remote side
has, receives out reference update commands and a pack-file, and can
execute the unpacking command.
Given a list of <pack>.idx files, this command validates the
index file and the corresponding .pack file for consistency.
This patch also uses the same validation mechanism in fsck-cache
when the --full flag is used.
During normal operation, sha1_file.c verifies that a given .idx
file matches the .pack file by comparing the SHA1 checksum
stored in .idx file and .pack file as a minimum sanity check.
We may further want to check the pack signature and version when
we map the pack, but that would be a separate patch.
Earlier, errors to map a pack file was not flagged fatal but led
to a random fatal error later. This version explicitly die()s
when such an error is detected.

This makes it match the new delta encoding, and admittedly makes the
code easier to follow.
This also updates the PACK file version to 2, since this (and the delta
encoding change in the previous commit) are incompatible with the old
format.
Packed delta files created by git-pack-objects seems to be the
way to go, and existing "delta" object handling code has exposed
the object representation details to too many places. Remove it
while we refactor code to come up with a proper interface in
sha1_file.c.

We want to be able to check their integrity later, and putting the
sha1-sum of the contents at the end is a good thing. The writing
routines are generic, so we could try to re-use them for the index file,
instead of having the same logic duplicated.
Update unpack-objects to know about the extra 20 bytes at the end
of the index.
This will scan 2 or more object repositories and look for common objects, check
if they are hardlinked, and replace one with a hardlink to the other if not.
This version warns when skipping files because of size differences, and
handle more than 2 repositories automatically.

So far it just reads the header and generates the list of objects.
It also sorts them by the order they are written in the pack file,
since that ends up being the same order we got them originally, and
is thus "most recent first".
This is kind of like a tar-ball for a set of objects, ready to be
shipped off to another end. Alternatively, you could use is as a packed
representation of the object database directly, if you changed
"read_sha1_file()" to read these kinds of packs.
The latter is partiularly useful to generate a "packed history", ie you
could pack up your old history efficiently, but still have it available
(at a performance hit, of course).
I haven't actually written an unpacker yet, so the end result has not
been verified in any way yet. I obviously always write bug-free code,
so it just has to work, no?
A "patch ID" is nothing but a SHA1 of the diff associated with a patch,
with whitespace and line numbers ignored. As such, it's "reasonably
stable", but at the same time also reasonably unique, ie two patches
that have the same "patch ID" are almost guaranteed to be the same
thing.
IOW, you can use this thing to look for likely duplicate commits.
It is careful by default and refuses to overwrite old info, but if you
want to force everything to be re-read, use the "-f" flag.
Some day I'll make it take individual filenames too. Right now
it's all-or-nothing.
Fix permissions, and add trivial "reset" and "add" scripts.
The "reset" script just resets the index back to head, while the "add"
script is just a crutch for people used to do "cvs add".
It's an incredibly cheesy helper that changes human-readable revision
arguments into the git-rev-list argument format.
You can use it to do something like this:
git-rev-list --pretty $(git-rev-parse --default HEAD "$@")
which is what git-log-script will become. Here git-rev-parse will
then allow you to use arguments like "v2.6.12-rc5.." or similar
human-readable ranges.
It's really quite stupid: "a..b" will be converted into "a" and "^b" if
"a" and "b" are valid object pointers. And the "--default" case will be
used if nothing but flags have been seen, so that you can default to a
certain argument if there are no other ranges.
The diff-* brothers acquired a sibling, git-diff-stages. With
an unmerged index file, you specify two stage numbers and it
shows the differences between them.

This gets the "cvs2git" program from the old git-tools
archive, and adds a nice script around it that makes it
much easier to use.
With this, you should be able to import a CVS archive
using just a simple
git cvsimport <cvsroot> <module>
and you're done. At least it worked for my one single test.
NOTE!! This may need tweaking. It currently expects (and
verifies) that cvsps version 2.1 is installed, but you
can't actually set any of the cvsps parameters, like the
time fuzz.

This patch linearises the GIT commit history graph into merge order
which is defined by invariants specified in Documentation/git-rev-list.txt.
The linearisation produced by this patch is superior in an objective sense
to that produced by the existing git-rev-list implementation in that
the linearisation produced is guaranteed to have the minimum number of
discontinuities, where a discontinuity is defined as an adjacent pair of
commits in the output list which are not related in a direct child-parent
relationship.
With this patch a graph like this:
a4 ---
| \ \
| b4 |
|/ | |
a3 | |
| | |
a2 | |
| | c3
| | |
| | c2
| b3 |
| | /|
| b2 |
| | c1
| | /
| b1
a1 |
| |
a0 |
| /
root
Sorts like this:
= a4
| c3
| c2
| c1
^ b4
| b3
| b2
| b1
^ a3
| a2
| a1
| a0
= root
Instead of this:
= a4
| c3
^ b4
| a3
^ c2
^ b3
^ a2
^ b2
^ c1
^ a1
^ b1
^ a0
= root
A test script, t/t6000-rev-list.sh, includes a test which demonstrates
that the linearisation produced by --merge-order has less discontinuities
than the linearisation produced by git-rev-list without the --merge-order
flag specified. To see this, do the following:
cd t
./t6000-rev-list.sh
cd trash
cat actual-default-order
cat actual-merge-order
The existing behaviour of git-rev-list is preserved, by default. To obtain
the modified behaviour, specify --merge-order or --merge-order --show-breaks
on the command line.
This version of the patch has been tested on the git repository and also on the linux-2.6
repository and has reasonable performance on both - ~50-100% slower than the original algorithm.
This version of the patch has incorporated a functional equivalent of the Linus' output limiting
algorithm into the merge-order algorithm itself. This operates per the notes associated
with Linus' commit 337cb3fb8d.
This version has incorporated Linus' feedback regarding proposed changes to rev-list.c.
(see: [PATCH] Factor out filtering in rev-list.c)
This version has improved the way sort_first_epoch marks commits as uninteresting.

Somebody finally came through - Jeff Garzik gets a gold
star for writing a shortlog script for git, so that I
can do nice release announcments again.
I added name translations from the current kernel history
(and git, for that matter). Hopefully it won't grow at
nearly the same rate the BK equivalent did, since 99% of
the time git records the full name already.
Usage: just do
git-rev-list --pretty HEAD ^LAST_HEAD | git-shortlog
or, in fact, use any of the other tools (git-diff-tree,
git-whatchanged etc) that use the default "pretty" commit format.
The "git" script is just shorthand: "git xyz <args>" will just execute
"git-xyz-script <args>", which is useful for people used to the CVS
naming convention. So "git log" will run the new git-log-script, which
is just a wrapper around the new pretty-printing git-rev-list.
Cheesy.
A new diffcore filter diffcore-order is introduced. This takes
a text file each of whose line is a shell glob pattern. Patches
that match a glob pattern on an earlier line in the file are
output before patches that match a later line, and patches that
do not match any glob pattern are output last.

This is meant to make raw git not hugely less usable than something
like raw CVS. I want to make a 1.0 release of the plumbing, and the
actual commit part was just too intimidating.
A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced.
When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete
rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This
makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch.
The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to
specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting
file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and
defaults to 99% if not specified.
As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a
file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create
pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename
detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets
completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on
file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens:
The original change looks like this:
file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0)
file1 --> /dev/null
After diffcore-break runs, it would become this:
file0 --> /dev/null
/dev/null --> file0'
file1 --> /dev/null
Then diffcore-rename matches them up:
file1 --> file0'
The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier
maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user
visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

This applies git patches (and old-style unified diffs)
in the index, rather than doing it in the working directory.
That allows for a lot more flexibility, and means that if a
patch fails, we aren't going to mess up the working directory.
NOTE! This is just the first cut at it, and right now it only
parses the incoming patch, it doesn't actually apply it yet.
Thomas Glanzmann points out that it doesn't work well with different
clients accessing the repository over NFS - they have different views
on what the "device" for the filesystem is.
Of course, other filesystems may not even have stable inode numbers.
But we don't care. At least for now.
This moves the path selection logic from individual programs to a new
diffcore transformer (diff-tree still needs to have its own for
performance reasons). Also the header printing code in diff-tree was
tweaked not to produce anything when pickaxe is in effect and there is
nothing interesting to report. An interesting example is the following
in the GIT archive itself:
$ git-whatchanged -p -C -S'or something in a real script'

This steals the "pickaxe" feature from JIT and make it available
to the bare Plumbing layer. From the command line, the user
gives a string he is intersted in.
Using the diff-core infrastructure previously introduced, it
filters the differences to limit the output only to the diffs
between <src> and <dst> where the string appears only in one but
not in the other. For example:
$ ./git-rev-list HEAD | ./git-diff-tree -Sdiff-tree-helper --stdin -M
would show the diffs that touch the string "diff-tree-helper".
In real software-archaeologist application, you would typically
look for a few to several lines of code and see where that code
came from.
The "pickaxe" module runs after "rename/copy detection" module,
so it even crosses the file rename boundary, as the above
example demonstrates.

This introduces the diff-core, the layer between the diff-tree
family and the external diff interface engine. The calls to the
interface diff-tree family uses (diff_change and diff_addremove)
have not changed and will not change. The purpose of the
diff-core layer is to provide an infrastructure to transform the
set of differences sent from the applications, before sending
them to the external diff interface.
The recently introduced rename detection code has been rewritten
to use the diff-core facility. When applications send in
separate creates and deletes, matching ones are transformed into
a single rename-and-edit diff, and sent out to the external diff
interface as such.
This patch also enhances the rename detection code further to be
able to detect copies. Currently this happens only as long as
copy sources appear as part of the modified files, but there
already is enough provision for callers to report unmodified
files to diff-core, so that they can be also used as copy source
candidates. Extending the callers this way will be done in a
separate patch.
Please see and marvel at how well this works by trying out the
newly added t/t4003-diff-rename-1.sh test script.
