Raw Normal View History

An illustration of rev-list --parents --pretty=raw This script creates two separate histories, A and B, each of which does: (A0, B0): create fileA and subdir/fileB (A1, B1): modify fileA (A2, B2): modify subdir/fileB and then grafts them together to make B0 a child of A2. So the final history looks like (time flows from top to bottom): true parent touches subdir? A0 none yes (creates it) A1 A0 no A2 A1 yes B0 none yes (different from what's in A2) B1 B0 no B2 B1 yes "git rev-list --parents --pretty=raw B2" would give "fake" parents on the "commit " header lines while "parent " header lines show the parent as recorded in the commit object (i.e. B0 appears to have A2 as its parent on "commit " header but there is no "parent A2" header line in it). When you have path limiters, we simplify history to omit commits that do not affect the specified paths. So "git rev-list --parents --pretty=raw B2 subdir" would return "B2 B0 A2 A0" (because B1 and A1 do not touch the path). When it does so, the "commit " header lines have "fake" parents (i.e. B2 appears to have B0 as its parent on "commit " header), but you can still get the true parents by looking at "parent " header.

tests: use "test_cmp", not "diff", when verifying the result In tests, call test_cmp rather than raw diff where possible (i.e. if the output does not go to a pipe), to allow the use of, say, 'cmp' when the default 'diff -u' is not compatible with a vendor diff. When that is not possible, use $DIFF, as set in GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS. Signed-off-by: Gary V. Vaughan <gary@thewrittenword.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Deprecate support for .git/info/grafts The grafts feature was a convenient way to "stitch together" ancient history to the fresh start of linux.git. Its implementation is, however, not up to Git's standards, as there are too many ways where it can lead to surprising and unwelcome behavior. For example, when pushing from a repository with active grafts, it is possible to miss commits that have been "grafted out", resulting in a broken state on the other side. Also, the grafts feature is limited to "rewriting" commits' list of parents, it cannot replace anything else. The much younger feature implemented as `git replace` set out to remedy those limitations and dangerous bugs. Seeing as `git replace` is pretty mature by now (since 4228e8bc98 (replace: add --graft option, 2014-07-19) it can perform the graft file's duties), it is time to deprecate support for the graft file, and to retire it eventually.

An illustration of rev-list --parents --pretty=raw This script creates two separate histories, A and B, each of which does: (A0, B0): create fileA and subdir/fileB (A1, B1): modify fileA (A2, B2): modify subdir/fileB and then grafts them together to make B0 a child of A2. So the final history looks like (time flows from top to bottom): true parent touches subdir? A0 none yes (creates it) A1 A0 no A2 A1 yes B0 none yes (different from what's in A2) B1 B0 no B2 B1 yes "git rev-list --parents --pretty=raw B2" would give "fake" parents on the "commit " header lines while "parent " header lines show the parent as recorded in the commit object (i.e. B0 appears to have A2 as its parent on "commit " header but there is no "parent A2" header line in it). When you have path limiters, we simplify history to omit commits that do not affect the specified paths. So "git rev-list --parents --pretty=raw B2 subdir" would return "B2 B0 A2 A0" (because B1 and A1 do not touch the path). When it does so, the "commit " header lines have "fake" parents (i.e. B2 appears to have B0 as its parent on "commit " header), but you can still get the true parents by looking at "parent " header.
