Denton Liu e3d6539d58 branch: make create_branch accept a merge base rev
When we ran something like

    $ git checkout -b test master...

it would fail with the message

    fatal: Not a valid object name: 'master...'.

This was caused by the call to `create_branch` where `start_name` is
expected to be a valid rev. However, git-checkout allows the branch to
be a valid _merge base_ rev (i.e. with a "...") so it was possible for
an invalid rev to be passed in.

Make `create_branch` accept a merge base rev so that this case does not
error out.

As a side-effect, teach git-branch how to handle merge base revs as
well.

Phillip Wood b07d9bfd17 commit/reset: try to clean up sequencer state
When cherry-picking or reverting a sequence of commits and if the final
pick/revert has conflicts and the user uses `git commit` to commit the
conflict resolution and does not run `git cherry-pick --continue` then
the sequencer state is left behind. This can cause problems later. In my
case I cherry-picked a sequence of commits the last one of which I
committed with `git commit` after resolving some conflicts, then a while
later, on a different branch I aborted a revert which rewound my HEAD to
the end of the cherry-pick sequence on the previous branch. Avoid this
potential problem by removing the sequencer state if we're committing or
resetting the final pick in a sequence.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy f4a4b9aca3 checkout: inform the user when removing branch state
After a successful switch, if a merge, cherry-pick or revert is ongoing,
it is canceled. This behavior has been with us from the very early
beginning, soon after git-merge was created but never actually
documented [1]. It may be a good idea to be transparent and tell the
user if some operation is canceled.

I consider this a better way of telling the user than just adding a
sentence or two in git-checkout.txt, which will be mostly ignored
anyway.

PS. Originally I wanted to print more details like

    warning: cancelling an in-progress merge from <SHA-1>

which may allow some level of undo if the user wants to. But that seems
a lot more work. Perhaps it can be improved later if people still want
that.

[1] ... and I will try not to argue whether it is a sensible behavior.
There is some more discussion here if people are interested:

Stefan Beller 2122f6754c commit: add repository argument to lookup_commit_reference
Add a repository argument to allow callers of lookup_commit_reference
to be more specific about which repository to handle. This is a small
mechanical change; it doesn't change the implementation to handle
repositories other than the_repository yet.

As with the previous commits, use a macro to catch callers passing a
repository other than the_repository at compile time.

Migrate all git_path_* functions that are defined in path.c to take a

 #define trick, as we rewrite the whole function, which is rather small.

This doesn't migrate all the functions, as other builtins have their own
local path functions defined using GIT_PATH_FUNC. So keep that macro
around to serve the other locations.

of how the arguments are used it turns out that 'clobber_head' is

So, re-order the arguments to keep the related arguments close

Junio C Hamano bc1c9c0e67 branch: split validate_new_branchname() into two
Checking if a proposed name is appropriate for a branch is strictly
a subset of checking if we want to allow creating or updating a
branch with such a name.  The mysterious sounding 'attr_only'
parameter to validate_new_branchname() is used to switch the
function between these two roles.

Instead, split the function into two, and adjust the callers.  A new
helper validate_branchname() only checks the name and reports if the
branch already exists.

This loses one NEEDSWORK from the branch API.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 31824d180d branch: fix branch renaming not updating HEADs correctly
There are two bugs that sort of work together and cause
problems. Let's start with one in replace_each_worktree_head_symref.

Before fa099d2322 (worktree.c: kill parse_ref() in favor of
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() - 2017-04-24), this code looks like this:

    if (strcmp(oldref, worktrees[i]->head_ref))
            continue;
    set_worktree_head_symref(...);

After fa099d2322, it is possible that head_ref can be NULL. However,
the updated code takes the wrong exit. In the error case (NULL
head_ref), we should "continue;" to the next worktree. The updated
code makes us _skip_ "continue;" and update HEAD anyway.

The NULL head_ref is triggered by the second bug in add_head_info (in
the same commit). With the flag RESOLVE_REF_READING, resolve_ref_unsafe()
will abort if it cannot resolve the target ref. For orphan checkouts,
HEAD always points to an unborned branch, resolving target ref will
always fail. Now we have NULL head_ref. Now we always update HEAD.

Correct the logic in replace_ function so that we don't accidentally
update HEAD on error. As it turns out, correcting the logic bug above
breaks branch renaming completely, thanks to the second bug.

"git branch -[Mm]" does two steps (on a normal checkout, no orphan!):

 - rename the branch on disk (e.g. refs/heads/abc to refs/heads/def)
 - update HEAD if it points to the branch being renamed.

At the second step, since the branch pointed to by HEAD (e.g. "abc") no
longer exists on disk, we run into a temporary orphan checkout situation
that has been just corrected to _not_ update HEAD. But we need to update
HEAD since it's not actually an orphan checkout. We need to update HEAD
to move out of that orphan state.

Correct add_head_info(), remove RESOLVE_REF_READING flag. With the flag
gone, we should always return good "head_ref" in orphan checkouts (either
temporary or permanent). With good head_ref, things start to work again.

Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die,
lookup_commit_reference, and lookup_commit_reference_gently to take

Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this
function.  This is required since in order to convert parse_object and
parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and
lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted.  Not introducing a
temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a
struct object_id *, but lookup_commit would take unsigned char *,
leaving a confusing and hard-to-use interface.

parse_object_buffer will lose this temporary in a later patch.

Jeff King cddac45219 create_branch: use xstrfmt for reflog message
We generate a reflog message that contains some fixed text
plus a branch name, and use a buffer of size PATH_MAX + 20.
This mostly works if you assume that refnames are shorter
than PATH_MAX, but:

  1. That's not necessarily true. PATH_MAX is not always the
     filesystem's limit.

  2. The "20" is not sufficiently large for the fixed text
     anyway.

Let's just switch to a heap buffer so we don't have to even
care.

confirm that we never use the buffer uninitialized nor write

obvious by simply moving the write step inside the
conditional.

Kyle Meyer 39ee4c6c2f branch: record creation of renamed branch in HEAD's log
Renaming the current branch adds an event to the current branch's log
and to HEAD's log.  However, the logged entries differ.  The entry in
the branch's log represents the entire renaming operation (the old and
new hash are identical), whereas the entry in HEAD's log represents
the deletion only (the new sha1 is null).

Extend replace_each_worktree_head_symref(), whose only caller is
branch_rename(), to take a reflog message argument.  This allows the
creation of the new ref to be recorded in HEAD's log.  As a result,
the renaming event is represented by two entries (a deletion and a
creation entry) in HEAD's log.

It's a bit unfortunate that the branch's log and HEAD's log now
represent the renaming event in different ways.  Given that the
renaming operation is not atomic, the two-entry form is a more
accurate representation of the operation and is more useful for
debugging purposes if a failure occurs between the deletion and
creation events.  It would make sense to move the branch's log to the
two-entry form, but this would involve changes to how the rename is
carried out and to how the update flags and reflogs are processed for
deletions, so it may not be worth the effort.

Cornelius Weig 341fb28621 refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = always
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs
that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we
know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and
that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a
hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old
history immediately).

However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log
for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than

This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates
option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless
where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like
ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

Jeff King 4bd488ea7c create_branch: drop unused "head" parameter
This function used to have the caller pass in the current
value of HEAD, in order to make sure we didn't clobber HEAD.
In 55c4a6730, that logic moved to validate_new_branchname(),
which just resolves HEAD itself. The parameter to
create_branch is now unused.

Since we have to update and re-wrap the docstring describing
the parameters anyway, let's take this opportunity to break
it out into a list, which makes it easier to find the
parameters.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 8d9fdd7087 worktree.c: check whether branch is rebased in another worktree
This function find_shared_symref() is used in a couple places:

1) in builtin/branch.c: it's used to detect if a branch is checked out
   elsewhere and refuse to delete the branch.

2) in builtin/notes.c: it's used to detect if a note is being merged in
   another worktree

3) in branch.c, the function die_if_checked_out() is actually used by
   "git checkout" and "git worktree add" to see if a branch is already
   checked out elsewhere and refuse the operation.

In cases 1 and 3, if a rebase is ongoing, "HEAD" will be in detached
mode, find_shared_symref() fails to detect it and declares "no branch is
checked out here", which is not really what we want.

This patch tightens the test. If the given symref is "HEAD", we try to
detect if rebase is ongoing. If so return the branch being rebased. This
makes checkout and branch delete operations safer because you can't
checkout a branch being rebased in another place, or delete it.

Special case for checkout. If the current branch is being rebased,
git-rebase.sh may use "git checkout" to abort and return back to the
original branch. The updated test in find_shared_symref() will prevent
that and "git rebase --abort" will fail as a result.
find_shared_symref() and die_if_checked_out() have to learn a new
option ignore_current_worktree to loosen the test a bit.

Kazuki Yamaguchi 70999e9cec branch -m: update all per-worktree HEADs
When renaming a branch, currently only the HEAD of current working tree
is updated, but it must update HEADs of all working trees which point at
the old branch.

This is the current behavior, /path/to/wt's HEAD is not updated:

  % git worktree list
  /path/to     2c3c5f2 [master2]

Patrick Steinhardt 30598ad06f config: rename git_config_set to git_config_set_gently
The desired default behavior for `git_config_set` is to die
whenever an error occurs. Dying is the default for a lot of
internal functions when failures occur and is in this case the
right thing to do for most callers as otherwise we might run into
inconsistent repositories without noticing.

As some code may rely on the actual return values for
`git_config_set` we still require the ability to invoke these
functions without aborting. Rename the existing `git_config_set`
functions to `git_config_set_gently` to keep them available for

When setting up a new tracking branch fails due to issues with
the configuration file we do not report any errors to the user
and pretend setting the tracking branch succeeded.

Setting up the tracking branch is handled by the
`install_branch_config` function. We do not want to simply die
there as the function is not only invoked when explicitly setting
upstream information with `git branch --set-upstream-to=`, but
also by `git push --set-upstream` and `git clone`. While it is
reasonable to die in the explict first case, we would lose
information in the latter two cases, so we only print the error
message but continue the program as usual.

Jeff King f932729cc7 memoize common git-path "constant" files
One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a
constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two
drawbacks:

  1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime
     is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc.

  2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This
     is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it
     correctly at least once), but many of these constant
     strings appear throughout the code.

This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize"
these strings, which are essentially globals for the
lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take
ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for
subsequent calls.  cache.h provides a helper macro for
defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few
common ones for global use.

Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely
document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch
them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the
git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of
the stored values), it will be much easier to have the
complete list.

Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual
declarations. We could do something clever with the macros
(e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a
declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't
that many, and it's probably better to stay away from
too-magical macros.

Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of
generating these with a script, we could get much fancier.
E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz".
But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth
the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the
function's definition.

Tanay Abhra aace438502 change git_config() return value to void
Currently `git_config()` returns an integer signifying an error code.
During rewrites of the function most of the code was shifted to
`git_config_with_options()`. `git_config_with_options()` normally
returns positive values if its `config_source` parameter is set as NULL,
as most errors are fatal, and non-fatal potential errors are guarded
by "if" statements that are entered only when no error is possible.

Still a negative value can be returned in case of race condition between
`access_or_die()` & `git_config_from_file()`. Also, all callers of
`git_config()` ignore the return value except for one case in branch.c.

Change `git_config()` return value to void and make it die if it receives
a negative value from `git_config_with_options()`.

Jeff King cf4fff579e refactor skip_prefix to return a boolean
The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:

  1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
     as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
     For example:

       tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
       if (tmp)
	       buf = tmp;

  2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
     you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
     warnings. For example:

       if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
	       /* do something with cp */

Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).

This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
	  do_foo(arg);
  else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
	  do_bar(arg);

Per Cederqvist 1d7358c524 branch.c: Relax unnecessary requirement on upstream's remote ref name
When creating an upstream relationship, we use the configured remotes and
their refspecs to determine the upstream configuration settings
branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge. However, if the matching
refspec does not have refs/heads/<something> on the remote side, we end
up rejecting the match, and failing the upstream configuration.

It could be argued that when we set up an branch's upstream, we want that
upstream to also be a proper branch in the remote repo. Although this is
typically the common case, there are cases (as demonstrated by the previous
patch in this series) where this requirement prevents a useful upstream
relationship from being formed. Furthermore:

 - We have fundamentally no say in how the remote repo have organized its
   branches. The remote repo may put branches (or branch-like constructs
   that are insteresting for downstreams to track) outside refs/heads/*.

 - The user may intentionally want to track a non-branch from a remote
   repo, by using a branch and configured upstream in the local repo.

Relaxing the checking to only require a matching remote/refspec allows the
testcase introduced in the previous patch to succeed, and has no negative
effect on the rest of the test suite.

This patch fixes a behavior (arguably a regression) first introduced in
41c21f2 (branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of
refs/remotes/*) on 2013-04-21 (released in >= v1.8.3.2).

Johan Herland 41c21f22d0 branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of refs/remotes/*
The current code for validating tracking branches (e.g. the argument to
the -t/--track option) hardcodes refs/heads/* and refs/remotes/* as the
potential locations for tracking branches. This works with the refspecs
created by "git clone" or "git remote add", but is suboptimal in other
cases:

 - If "refs/remotes/foo/bar" exists without any association to a remote
   (i.e. there is no remote named "foo", or no remote with a refspec
   that matches "refs/remotes/foo/bar"), then it is impossible to set up
   a valid upstream config that tracks it. Currently, the code defaults
   to using "refs/remotes/foo/bar" from repo "." as the upstream, which
   works, but is probably not what the user had in mind when running
   "git branch baz --track foo/bar".

 - If the user has tweaked the fetch refspec for a remote to put its
   remote-tracking branches outside of refs/remotes/*, e.g. by running
       git config remote.foo.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/foo_stuff/*"
   then the current code will refuse to use its remote-tracking branches
   as --track arguments, since they do not match refs/remotes/*.

This patch removes the "refs/remotes/*" requirement for upstream branches,
and replaces it with explicit checking of the refspecs for each remote to
determine whether a given --track argument is a valid remote-tracking
branch. This solves both of the above problems, since the matching refspec
guarantees that there is a both a remote name and a remote branch name
that can be used for the upstream config.

However, this means that refs located within refs/remotes/* without a
corresponding remote/refspec will no longer be usable as upstreams.
The few existing tests which depended on this behavioral quirk has
already been fixed in the preceding patches.

This patch fixes the last remaining test failure in t2024-checkout-dwim.

Jeff King a5e91c722c branch: improve error message for missing --set-upstream-to ref
If we are trying to set the upstream config for a branch,
the create_branch function will check both that the name
resolves as a ref, and that it is either a local or
remote-tracking branch.

However, before we do so we run get_sha1 on it to find out
whether it resolves at all (since the create_branch function
is also used to create actual branches, it wants to know
where to start the new branch). This means that if you feed
a ref that does not exist to "branch --set-upstream-to",
rather than getting a helpful message about tracking, you
only get "not a valid object name".

Jonathan Nieder 82433cdf4d revert: write REVERT_HEAD pseudoref during conflicted revert
When conflicts are encountered while reverting a commit, it can be
handy to have the name of that commit easily available.  For example,
to produce a copy of the patch to refer to while resolving conflicts:

	$ git revert 2eceb2a8
	error: could not revert 2eceb2a8... awesome, buggy feature
	$ git show -R REVERT_HEAD >the-patch
	$ edit $(git diff --name-only)

Set a REVERT_HEAD pseudoref when "git revert" does not make a commit,
for cases like this.  This also makes it possible for scripts to
distinguish between a revert that encountered conflicts and other
sources of an unmerged index.

After successfully committing, resetting with "git reset", or moving
to another commit with "git checkout" or "git reset", the pseudoref is
no longer useful, so remove it.

2011-09-16 21:48:10 -07:00
Junio C Hamano fa79937675 branch --set-upstream: regression fix
The "git branch" command, while not in listing mode, calls create_branch()
even when the target branch already exists, and it does so even when it is
not interested in updating the value of the branch (i.e. the name of the
commit object that sits at the tip of the existing branch). This happens
when the command is run with "--set-upstream" option.

The earlier safety-measure to prevent "git branch -f $branch $commit" from
updating the currently checked out branch did not take it into account,
and we no longer can update the tracking information of the current branch.

Minimally fix this regression by telling the validation code if it is
called to really update the value of a potentially existing branch, or if
the caller merely is interested in updating auxiliary aspects of a branch.

Conrad Irwin 55c4a67307 Prevent force-updating of the current branch
"git branch -M <foo> <current-branch>" allows updating the current branch
which HEAD points, without the necessary house-keeping that git reset
normally does to make this operation sensible. It also leaves the reflog
in a confusing state (you would be warned when trying to read it).

"git checkout -B <current branch> <foo>" is also partly vulnerable to this
bug; due to inconsistent pre-flight checks it would perform half of its
task and then abort just before rewriting the branch. Again this
manifested itself as the index file getting out-of-sync with HEAD.

"git branch -f" already guarded against this problem, and aborts with
a fatal error.

Update "git branch -M", "git checkout -B" and "git branch -f" to share the
same check before allowing a branch to be created. These prevent you from
updating the current branch.

We considered suggesting the use of "git reset" in the failure message
but concluded that it was not possible to discern what the user was
actually trying to do.
