[PATCH] Explain what went wrong on update-cache of new file

If somebody tries to run `git update-cache foo', where foo is a new
file, git dies with a rather cryptic error message:

 fatal: Unable to add foo to database

This trivial patch makes git explain what probably went wrong.  It is
not a perfect diagnosis of all error paths, but for 90% of the cases it
should provide the user with the clue they need.

[jc: I ended up wording slightly differently, and fixed another
 confusing error message I noticed while reviewing the code.]

[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

Inspired by a report by Kalle Valo, this changes git-sh-setup-script and
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).

your index file is attempting to revert the change between the

19 years agoRationalize output selection in rev-parse.
Junio C Hamano [Wed, 24 Aug 2005 21:30:04 +0000 (14:30 -0700)]
Rationalize output selection in rev-parse.

Earlier rounds broke 'whatchanged -p'.  In attempting to fix this,
make two axis of output selection in rev-parse orthogonal:

  --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 that rev-list would take.
  --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 '-'.

So for example 'rev-parse --no-revs -p arch/i386' would yield '-p arch/i386',
while 'rev-parse --no-revs --flags -p archi/i386' would give just '-p'.

Also the meaning of --verify has been made stronger.  It now rejects
anything but a single valid rev argument.  Earlier it passed some flags
through without complaining.

Generate pack info file after repack.

Pulling from a packed repository over dumb transport without the
server info file fails, so run update-server-info automatically
after a repack by default.  This can be disabled with the '-n'
flag.

Try to find the optimum merge base while resolving.

The merge-base command acquires a new option, '--all', that causes it
to output all the common ancestor candidates.  The "git resolve"
command then uses it to pick the optimum merge base by picking the one
that results in the smallest number of nontrivial merges.

Solaris 8 doesn't have the newer unsetenv() and setenv()

unsetenv() in fsck-cache.c now sets GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_
DIRECTORIES to the empty string.  Every place that var
is used, NULLs are also replaced with empty strings, so
it's ok.

(i.e. an expensive way to say "git checkout -f HEAD").

At the same time, it accidentally removes the use of shell arrays.
