[PATCH] Initial import of git-archimport-script

Imports a project history from one or more Arch repositories, following
the branching and tagging across repositories. Note you should import
separate projects to separate GIT repositories.

Supported
 - Imports, tags and simple commits.
 - File renames
 - Arch tags
 - Binary files
 - Large trees
 - Multiple repositories
 - Branches

TODO:
 - Allow re-running the import on an already-imported project
 - Follow merges using Arch data
 - Audit shell escaping of filenames
 - Better support for file metadata
 - Better/safer creation of temp directories

Unsupported:
 - Arch 'configuration'

[jc: my arch/tla is very rusty and after Tom announced he is stepping
 down as the maintainer I have very little motivation to relearn it,

[PATCH] Make "git resolve" less scary

When we resolve a merge between two branches, and it removes a file in the
current branch, we notify the person doing the resolve with a big nice
notice like

Removing xyzzy

which is all well and good.

HOWEVER, we also do this when the file was actually removed in the current
branch, and we're merging with another branch that didn't have it removed
(or, indeed, if the other branch _did_ have it removed, but the common
parent was far enough back that the file still existed in there).

And that just doesn't make sense. In that case we're not removing
anything: the file didn't exist in the branch we're merging into in the
first place. So the message just makes people nervous, and makes no sense.

This has been around forever, but I never bothered to do anything about
it.

Until now.

The trivial fix is to only talk about removing files if the file existed
in the branch we're merging into, but will not exist in the result.

[PATCH] Make .git directory validation code test HEAD

the "setup_git_directory()" function to test that $GIT_DIR/HEAD is a
symlink, since a number of core git features depend on that these days.

We used to allow a regular file there, but git-fsck-cache has been
complaining about that for a while, and anything that uses branches
depends on the HEAD file being a symlink, so let's just encode that as a
fundamental requirement.

Before, a non-symlink HEAD file would appear to work, but have subtle bugs
like not having the HEAD show up as a valid reference (because it wasn't
under "refs"). Now, we will complain loudly, and the user can fix it up
trivially instead of getting strange behaviour.

This also removes the tests for "$GIT_DIR" and "$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY"
being directories, since the other tests will implicitly test for that
anyway (ie the tests for HEAD, refs and 00 would fail).

Fix pulling into the same branch.

When the "git pull" command updates the branch head you are
currently on, before doing anything else, first update your
index file and the working tree contents to that of the new
branch head.  Otherwise, the later resolving steps would think
your index file is attempting to revert the change between the
original head commit and the updated head commit.

It uses two-tree fast-forward form of "read-tree -m -u" to
prevent losing whatever local changes you may have in the
working tree to do this update.  I think this would at least
make things safer (a lot safer), and prevent mistakes.

Also "git fetch" command is forbidden from fetching and fast
forwarding the current branch head unless --update-head-ok flag
is given.  "git pull" passes the flag when it internally calls

  --revs-only tells it not to output things that are not revisions nor
flags that rev-list would take.
  --no-revs tells it not to output things that are revisions or

  --flags tells it not to output parameters that do not start with
a '-'.
  --no-flags tells it not to output parameters that starts with a '-'.

19 years agoIntroduce "reset type" flag to "git reset"
Junio C Hamano [Tue, 23 Aug 2005 00:55:26 +0000 (17:55 -0700)]
Introduce "reset type" flag to "git reset"

I have been feeling that the current behaviour of "git reset" is
not quite optimal, but so far could not express exactly what I
felt was wrong with it.  This patch clarifies it.

There are at least two situations you may want to "reset" your
working tree.

1. You made a mess in your working tree.  You want to switch
   back to a known good state and start over.  This mess may be
   a result of your own editing, a merge that had too many
   conflicting changes that you do not feel like to resolve by
   hand at this moment, or a botched application of a patch you
   received from somewhere.

   In this case, you would want to have "git reset HEAD" reset
   the index file to the tree read from the HEAD commit and the
   files in the working tree to match index (i.e. "git status"
   should say "Nothing to commit", without any "unrecorded
   changes").

   The current behaviour leaves the files in the working tree
   intact, which requires you to run "git checkout -f".  Also
   you need to remember "rm -f" any files that the botched patch
   may have left in the working tree if the purpose of this
   "reset" is to attempt to apply it again; most likely the
   patch would fail if such a file is left behind.

2. You have discovered that commits you made earlier need to be
   reorganized.  The simplest example is to undo the last
   commit, re-edit some files, and redo the commit.  Another
   simple eample is to undo the last two commits, and commit the
   changes in those two commits as a single commit.

   In this case, you would want to have "git reset HEAD^" reset
   the $GIT_DIR/HEAD to the commit object name of the parent
   commit of the current commit (i.e. rewinding one commit),
   leave the index file and the files in the working tree in a
   state where you can easily make a commit that records a tree
   that resembles what you have in the current index file and
   the working tree.

   The current behaviour is almost OK for this purpose, except
   that you need to find which files you need to manually run
   "git add" yourself.  They are files that are in the original
   HEAD commit and not in the commit you are resetting to.

The default without the type flag is to do "--mixed", which is
the current behaviour.

    $ git reset [ --hard | --soft | --mixed ] [ <commit-ish> ]

A hard reset would be used for 1 and works in this way:

    (1) remember the set of paths that appear in the current
        index file (which may even have unmerged entries) and
the current $GIT_DIR/HEAD commit.

    (2) "read-tree --reset" the specified <commit-ish> (default
        to HEAD), followed by "checkout-cache -f -u -a".

    (3) remove any files that appear in (1) but not in
        <commit-ish> from the working tree.

    (4) backup $GIT_DIR/HEAD to $GIT_DIR/ORIG_HEAD and update
        $GIT_DIR/HEAD with the specified <commit-ish>.

    (5) remove leftover $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD

A soft reset would be used for 2 and works in this way:

    (1) Make sure that the index file is merged and we do not
        have MERGE_HEAD; otherwise it does not make sense to do
        soft reset.

    (2) backup $GIT_DIR/HEAD to $GIT_DIR/ORIG_HEAD and update
        $GIT_DIR/HEAD with the specified <commit-ish>.

Note that with the current behaviour, "git diff" is the way to
see what could be committed immediately after "git reset".  With
the "soft reset" described here you would need to say "git diff
HEAD" to find that out.

I am not sure what mixed reset (the current behaviour) is good
for.  If nobody comes up with a good use case it may not be a
bad idea to remove it.

Junio C Hamano [Sun, 21 Aug 2005 09:51:10 +0000 (02:51 -0700)]
[PATCH] Add 'git show-branch'.

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.
