Since Git 1.7.9, "git merge" defaulted to --no-ff (i.e. even when
the side branch being merged is a descendant of the current commit,
create a merge commit instead of fast-forwarding) when merging a
tag object. This was appropriate default for integrators who pull
signed tags from their downstream contributors, but caused an
unnecessary merges when used by downstream contributors who
habitually "catch up" their topic branches with tagged releases
from the upstream. Update "git merge" to default to --no-ff only
when merging a tag object that does *not* sit at its usual place in
refs/tags/ hierarchy, and allow fast-forwarding otherwise, to
mitigate the problem.
* jc/allow-ff-merging-kept-tags:
merge: allow fast-forward when merging a tracked tag
"git add -p" used to offer "/" (look for a matching hunk) as a
choice, even there was only one hunk, which has been corrected.
Also the single-key help is now given only for keys that are
enabled (e.g. help for '/' won't be shown when there is only one
hunk).
* pw/add-p-single:
add -p: improve error messages
add -p: only bind search key if there's more than one hunk
add -p: only display help for active keys
The new "--show-current-patch" option gives an end-user facing way
to get the diff being applied when "git rebase" (and "git am")
stops with a conflict.
* nd/rebase-show-current-patch:
rebase: introduce and use pseudo-ref REBASE_HEAD
rebase: add --show-current-patch
am: add --show-current-patch
"git send-email" learned to complain when the batch-size option is
not defined when the relogin-delay option is, since these two are
mutually required.
* xz/send-email-batch-size:
send-email: error out when relogin delay is missing
Clarify how configured fetch refspecs interact with the "--prune"
option of "git fetch", and also add a handy short-hand for getting
rid of stale tags that are locally held.
* ab/fetch-prune:
fetch: make the --prune-tags work with <url>
fetch: add a --prune-tags option and fetch.pruneTags config
fetch tests: add scaffolding for the new fetch.pruneTags
git-fetch & config doc: link to the new PRUNING section
git remote doc: correct dangerous lies about what prune does
git fetch doc: add a new section to explain the ins & outs of pruning
fetch tests: fetch <url> <spec> as well as fetch [<remote>]
fetch tests: expand case/esac for later change
fetch tests: double quote a variable for interpolation
fetch tests: test --prune and refspec interaction
fetch tests: add a tag to be deleted to the pruning tests
fetch tests: re-arrange arguments for future readability
fetch tests: refactor in preparation for testing tag pruning
remote: add a macro for "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*"
fetch: stop accessing "remote" variable indirectly
fetch: trivially refactor assignment to ref_nr
fetch: don't redundantly NULL something calloc() gave us
"git tag" learned an explicit "--edit" option that allows the
message given via "-m" and "-F" to be further edited.
* nm/tag-edit:
tag: add --edit option
"git push" over http transport did not unquote the push-options
correctly.
* jk/push-options-via-transport-fix:
remote-curl: unquote incoming push-options
t5545: factor out http repository setup
Hotfix for a recent topic.
* tg/worktree-create-tracking:
git-worktree.txt: fix indentation of example and text of 'add' command
git-worktree.txt: fix missing ")" typo
Many places in "git apply" knew that "/dev/null" that signals
"there is no such file on this side of the diff" can be followed by
whitespace and garbage when parsing a patch, except for one, which
made an otherwise valid patch (e.g. ones from subversion) rejected.
* tk/apply-dev-null-verify-name-fix:
apply: handle Subversion diffs with /dev/null gracefully
apply: demonstrate a problem applying svn diffs
"git worktree add" learned to run the post-checkout hook, just like
"git clone" runs it upon the initial checkout.
* es/worktree-add-post-checkout-hook:
worktree: add: fix 'post-checkout' not knowing new worktree location
"git am" has learned the "--quit" option, in addition to the existing
"--abort" option; having the pair mirrors a few other commands like
"rebase" and "cherry-pick".
* nd/am-quit:
am: support --quit
Fix for a commented-out code to adjust it to a rather old API change.
* ys/bisect-object-id-missing-conversion-fix:
bisect: debug: convert struct object to object_id
When resetting the working tree files recursively, the working tree
of submodules are now also reset to match.
* sb/submodule-update-reset-fix:
submodule: submodule_move_head omits old argument in forced case
unpack-trees: oneway_merge to update submodules
t/lib-submodule-update.sh: fix test ignoring ignored files in submodules
t/lib-submodule-update.sh: clarify test
"git commit --fixup" did not allow "-m<message>" option to be used
at the same time; allow it to annotate resulting commit with more
text.
* ab/commit-m-with-fixup:
commit: add support for --fixup <commit> -m"<extra message>"
commit doc: document that -c, -C, -F and --fixup with -m error
"git status" after moving a path in the working tree (hence making
it appear "removed") and then adding with the -N option (hence
making that appear "added") detected it as a rename, but did not
report the old and new pathnames correctly.
* nd/ita-wt-renames-in-status:
wt-status.c: handle worktree renames
wt-status.c: rename rename-related fields in wt_status_change_data
wt-status.c: catch unhandled diff status codes
wt-status.c: coding style fix
Use DIFF_DETECT_RENAME for detect_rename assignments
t2203: test status output with porcelain v2 format
Refactor the code to binary search starting from a fan-out table
(which is how the packfile is indexed with object names) into a
reusable helper.
* jt/binsearch-with-fanout:
packfile: refactor hash search with fanout table
packfile: remove GIT_DEBUG_LOOKUP log statements
Code clean-up.
* jk/test-hashmap-updates:
test-hashmap: use "unsigned int" for hash storage
test-hashmap: simplify alloc_test_entry
test-hashmap: use strbuf_getline rather than fgets
test-hashmap: use xsnprintf rather than snprintf
test-hashmap: check allocation computation for overflow
test-hashmap: use ALLOC_ARRAY rather than bare malloc
Code to unquote single-quoted string (used in the parser for
configuration files, etc.) did not diagnose bogus input correctly
and produced bogus results instead.
* jk/sq-dequote-on-bogus-input:
sq_dequote: fix extra consumption of source string
"git describe $garbage" stopped giving any errors when the garbage
happens to be a string with 40 hexadecimal letters.
* sb/describe-blob:
describe: confirm that blobs actually exist
"git check-ignore" with multiple paths got confused when one is a
file and the other is a directory, which has been fixed.
* rs/check-ignore-multi:
check-ignore: fix mix of directories and other file types
Some low level protocol codepath could crash when they get an
unexpected flush packet, which is now fixed.
* js/packet-read-line-check-null:
always check for NULL return from packet_read_line()
correct error messages for NULL packet_read_line()
"git rebase -p" mangled log messages of a merge commit, which is
now fixed.
* js/fix-merge-arg-quoting-in-rebase-p:
rebase -p: fix incorrect commit message when calling `git merge`.
"git add" files in the same directory, but spelling the directory
path in different cases on case insensitive filesystem, corrupted
the name hash data structure and led to unexpected results. This
has been corrected.
* bp/name-hash-dirname-fix:
name-hash: properly fold directory names in adjust_dirname_case()
"git blame HEAD COPYING" in a bare repository failed to run, while
"git blame HEAD -- COPYING" run just fine. This has been corrected.
* jc/blame-missing-path:
blame: tighten command line parser
Doc update to warn against remaining bugs in untracked cache.
* ab/untracked-cache-invalidation-docs:
update-index doc: note the caveat with "could not open..."
update-index doc: note a fixed bug in the untracked cache
Some bugs around "untracked cache" feature have been fixed.
* nd/fix-untracked-cache-invalidation:
dir.c: ignore paths containing .git when invalidating untracked cache
dir.c: stop ignoring opendir() error in open_cached_dir()
dir.c: fix missing dir invalidation in untracked code
dir.c: avoid stat() in valid_cached_dir()
