Sounds good.

OK.  

Obviously that won't apply to the base for v1 without conflicts, and
it of course applies cleanly on 'master', but the result of doing so
will cause the same conflicts when sb/more-repo-in-api is merged on
top, which means that the same conflicts need to be resolved if this
wants to be merged to 'next' (or 'pu', FWIW).

Now the complexity of the behaviour of this function deserves to be
documented in a comment in front.  Let me see if I can get it
correctly without such a comment by explaining the function aloud.

The caller may or may not have already obtained an in-core commit
object for a given object name, so shell could be NULL but otherwise
it could be used for optimization.  When shell==NULL, the function
looks up the commit object using the oid parameter instead.  The
returned in-core commit has the parents etc. filled as if we ran
parse_commit() on it.  If the commit is not yet in the graph, the
caller may get a NULL even if the commit exists.

Please spell an empty statement like so:

; /* comment */

We come here when the commit (either came from shell or from oid) is
not found by bsearch_graph().  "Is the caller prepared for it, and
how?" is a natural question a reader would have.  Let's read on.

It is very likely because it is a non-issue.  

The reason why prefixes are customizable is to match the convention
used to show your patch to others, but the patch to be immediately
consumed within an "add -i/-p" session is viewed only by the user,
so it is much much lower priority to change the code.  I guess the
reason why no such change was made is because nobody felt it worth
the trouble to change the code to use a non-standard prefix when
producing the patch to be shown, and then also change the code to
accept a non-standard prefix when using the chosen patch to be
applied.

path limiting is also used for two purposes.  "pruning", which is to
cull the side branches that do not contribute the changes made to
the paths we are interested in, and showing only the changes to the
paths that match pathspec.

AFAIK, "prune" is also used to describe unreachable loose objects,
but that use is fairly isolated and have little risk of being
confusing too much.  Are there other uses to make you consider it
"highly overloaded"?

My gut feeling is that the result is not reducing "overloading" in a
meaningful way, and this change is not worth the churn, but it
depends on the answer to the above question.

Thanks.

Yeah, for the same reason as win32 can refer to their API that is
used on platforms that are 64-bit, the fact that the "drive letter"
concept came from DOS is so widely ingrained, I do not think it is a
beter change to deviate from it.

Yup, that is much more important.

Yup.  The deprecation is about spelling with "--mixed" when invoking
the "restore these paths out of tree-ish (or HEAD when omitted)
only in the index" mode.  The feature is of course not deprecated
(but it might have been better if it were "git checkout --cached").

So,... as I had to do the reverse rebase anyway, here is the
difference since the previous round, which I came up with by
comparing these two:

 (A) merge 'sb/more-repo-in-api' to 'master' and then merge v1 of
 this topic to the result.

 (B) apply your patch to 'master', and then merge
 'sb/more-repo-in-api' to the result.

I don't either.  I didn't mean to suggest to change anything in this
part.  I was just giving an observation---two parallel things do not
get updates in tandem, and that is because they were not described
the same way to begin with, which was a good enough explanation.

Not directly, but when multiple commands use mailmap to show the
canonical mail addresses, then it kinda is. When I look back at an old
commit message, I may look up the author name and address, which is
mapped.

git-send-email does not have to when I copy/paste the address from

[PATCH v3 1/1] git clone C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo' is working (again)

2018-12-08 Thread tboegi
From: Torsten Bögershausen 

A regression for cygwin users was introduced with commit 05b458c,
 "real_path: resolve symlinks by hand".

In the the commit message we read:
  The current implementation of real_path uses chdir() in order to resolve
symlinks.  Unfortunately this isn't thread-safe as chdir() affects a
  process as a whole...

The old (and non-thread-save) OS calls chdir()/pwd() had been
replaced by a string operation.
The cygwin layer "knows" that "C:\cygwin" is an absolute path,
but the new string operation does not.

"git clone  C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo" fails like this:
fatal: Invalid path '/home/USER/repo/C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo'

The solution is to implement has_dos_drive_prefix(), skip_dos_drive_prefix()
is_dir_sep(), offset_1st_component() and convert_slashes() for cygwin
in the same way as it is done in 'Git for Windows' in compat/mingw.[ch]

Extract the needed code into compat/win32/path-utils.[ch] and use it
for cygwin as well.

Reported-by: Steven Penny 
Helped-by: Johannes Schindelin 
Signed-off-by: Torsten Bögershausen 
---
Changes since V2:
- Settled on a better name:
  The common code is in compat/win32/path-utils.c/h
- Skip the 2 patches which "only" do a cleanup (for a moment)
  put those cleanups onto the "todo stack".
- The "DOS" moniker is still used for 2 reasons:
  Windows inherited the "drive letter" concept from DOS,
  and everybody (tm) familar with the code and the path handling
  in Git is used to that wording.
  Even if there was a better name, it needed to be addressed
  in a patch series different from this one.
  Here I want to fix a reported regression.
   
And, before any cleanup is done, I sould like to ask if anybody
can build the code with VS and confirm that it works, please ?

Thanks for the reviews, testing and comment.

[wishlist] submodule.update config

2018-12-08 Thread Yaroslav Halchenko
Relates (but orthogonal) to my other thread

  [wishlist] git submodule update --reset-hard

ATM, it possible to specify per submodule update strategy via
configuration variable submodule.SUBMODULE.update where SUBMODULE is the name
of the corresponding submodule.  But I see no way to specify default update
strategy for all submodules.

>From our conversation in that other thread  I have discovered to myself about
existence of  submodule.recurse  configuration, and there seems to be a few
more (.fetchJobs, .active) where e.g. .active seems to complement per-submodule
submodule.*.active:

yoh@debian:~/proj/misc/git$ git grep '[^.]submodule\.[a-z]' --

submodule..active or submodule.active are
Documentation/config/submodule.txt: interact with submodules; 
settings like `submodule.active`

See linkgit:gitsubmodules[7] for

http://example.com/git/repo.git/path/submodule.git
Documentation/technical/http-protocol.txt:  URL request:  
http://example.com/git/repo.git/path/submodule.git/info/refs

I wondered, if you think it would be sensible to also add of
submodule.update which would be considered before submodule.SUBMODULE.update
variable possibly defined per submodule.  That would be more inline with desire
to use any of the --merge, --rebase (and hopefully soon --reset-hard)
strategies specified as an option for submodule update, where no per-submodule
handling  is happening.

Thanks in advance for the consideration!

why doesn't "git reset" mention optional pathspec?

2018-12-08 Thread Robert P. J. Day


  from "man git-reset":

SYNOPSIS
  git reset [-q] [] [--] ...
  git reset (--patch | -p) [] [--] [...]
  git reset [--soft | --mixed [-N] | --hard | --merge | --keep] [-q] []

oddly, the third form says nothing about possible "", even
though i'm pretty sure they're valid in that third case (at least for
"--mixed"). thoughts? is that just an oversight in the man page?

[PATCH v4 5/7] pretty: add support for "valueonly" option in %(trailers)

2018-12-08 Thread Anders Waldenborg
With the new "key=" option to %(trailers) it often makes little sense to
show the key, as it by definition already is knows which trailer is
printed there. This new "valueonly" option makes it omit the key when
printing trailers.

E.g.:
 $ git show -s --pretty='%s%n%(trailers:key=Signed-off-by,valueonly)' 88182
will show:

[PATCH v4 1/7] doc: group pretty-format.txt placeholders descriptions

2018-12-08 Thread Anders Waldenborg
The placeholders can be grouped into three kinds:
 * literals
 * affecting formatting of later placeholders
 * expanding to information in commit

Also change the list to a definition list (using '::')

[PATCH v4 2/7] pretty: allow %(trailers) options with explicit value

2018-12-08 Thread Anders Waldenborg
In addition to old %(trailers:only) it is now allowed to write
%(trailers:only=yes)

By itself this only gives (the not quite so useful) possibility to have
users change their mind in the middle of a formatting
string (%(trailers:only=true,only=false)). However, it gives users the
opportunity to override defaults from future options.

[PATCH v4 7/7] pretty: add support for separator option in %(trailers)

2018-12-08 Thread Anders Waldenborg
By default trailer lines are terminated by linebreaks ('\n'). By
specifying the new 'separator' option they will instead be separated by
user provided string and have separator semantics rather than terminator
semantics. The separator string can contain the literal formatting codes
%n and %xNN allowing it to be things that are otherwise hard to type
such as %x00, or comma and end-parenthesis which would break parsing.

E.g:
 $ git log --pretty='%(trailers:key=Reviewed-by,valueonly,separator=%x00)'

No functional change intended.

This change may not seem useful on its own, but upcoming commits will do
memory allocation in there, and a single return path makes deallocation
easier.

--mixed prints a deprecation warning. I don't think it's worth making
the synopsis more complicated for that. All other modes reject
pathspec.

Hmm.. maybe I misread the code. I just tried it

$ ./git reset --mixed HEAD foo
warning: --mixed with paths is deprecated; use 'git reset -- ' instead.

  weird ... i just tried this two ways, explicitly specifying
"--mixed" and also without (which is the default mode, right?), and i
got the deprecated message with the first but not the second. that
seems ... odd.

  my test:

  Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD ..." to unstage)

modified:   README.asc
modified:   Rakefile

  $ git reset -- README.asc
  Unstaged changes after reset:
  M README.asc
  $ git reset --mixed -- Rakefile
  warning: --mixed with paths is deprecated; use 'git reset -- ' instead.
  Unstaged changes after reset:
  M README.asc
  M Rakefile
  $

that definitely seems inconsistent.

Without --mixed, you're using the first form

git reset [-q] [] [--] ...

which accepts pathspec. If it's not clear, of course patches are welcome.
