Linus Torvalds [Wed, 7 Feb 2007 19:49:56 +0000 (11:49 -0800)] 
Fix "git log -z" behaviour

For commit messages, we should really put the "line_termination" when we
output the character in between different commits, *not* between the
commit and the diff. The diff goes hand-in-hand with the commit, it
shouldn't be separated from it with the termination character.

So this:
 - uses the termination character for true inter-commit spacing
 - uses a regular newline between the commit log and the diff

We had it the other way around.

For the normal case where the termination character is '\n', this
obviously doesn't change anything at all, since we just switched two
identical characters around. So it's very safe - it doesn't change any
normal usage, but it definitely fixes "git log -z".

By fixing "git log -z", you can now also do insane things like

git log -p -z |
grep -z "some patch expression" |
tr '\0' '\n' |
less -S

and you will see only those commits that have the "some patch expression"
in their commit message _or_ their patches.

(This is slightly different from 'git log -S"some patch expression"',
since the latter requires the expression to literally *change* in the
patch, while the "git log -p -z | grep .." approach will see it if it's
just an unchanged _part_ of the patch context)

Of course, if you actually do something like the above, you're probably
insane, but hey, it works!

Try the above command line for a demonstration (of course, you need to
change the "some patch expression" to be something relevant). The old
behaviour of "git log -p -z" was useless (and got things completely wrong
for log entries without patches).

Support RFC 2822 date parsing in fast-import.

Since some frontends may be working with source material where
the dates are only readily available as RFC 2822 strings, it is
more friendly if fast-import exposes Git's parse_date() function
to handle the conversion.  This way the frontend doesn't need
to perform the parsing itself.

The new --date-format option to fast-import can be used by a
frontend to select which format it will supply date strings in.
The default is the standard `raw` Git format, which fast-import
has always supported.  Format rfc2822 can be used to activate the
parse_date() function instead.

Because fast-import could also be useful for creating new, current
commits, the format `now` is also supported to generate the current
system timestamp.  The implementation of `now` is a trivial call
to datestamp(), but is actually a whole whopping 3 lines so that
fast-import can verify the frontend really meant `now`.

As part of this change I have added validation of the `raw` date
format.  Prior to this change fast-import would accept anything
in a `committer` command, even if it was seriously malformed.
Now fast-import requires the '> ' near the end of the string and
verifies the timestamp is formatted properly.

17 years agoTeach git-remote add to fetch and track
Junio C Hamano [Fri, 2 Feb 2007 07:30:03 +0000 (23:30 -0800)] 
Teach git-remote add to fetch and track

This adds three options to 'git-remote add'.

 * -f (or --fetch) option tells it to also run the initial "git
    fetch" using the newly created remote shorthand.

 * -t (or --track) option tells it not to use the default
    wildcard to track all branches.

 * -m (or --master) option tells it to make the
    remote/$name/HEAD point at a remote tracking branch other
    than master.

For example, with this I can say:

  $ git remote add -f -t master -t quick-start -m master \
    jbf-um git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/git.git/

to

 (1) create remote.jbf-um.url;

 (2) track master and quick-start branches (and no other); the
     two -t options create these two lines:

       fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/jbf-um/master
       fetch = +refs/heads/quick-start:refs/remotes/jbf-um/quick-start

 (3) set up remotes/jbf-um/HEAD to point at jbf-um/master so
     that later I can say "git log jbf-um"

Or I could do

  $ git remote add -t 'ap/*' andy /home/andy/git.git

to make Andy's topic branches kept track of under refs/remotes/andy/ap/.

Other possible improvements I considered but haven't implemented
(hint, hint) are:

 * reject wildcard letters other than a trailing '*' to the -t
   parameter;

 * make -m optional and when the first -t parameter does not
   have the trailing '*' default to that value (so the above
   example does not need to say "-m master");

 * if -m is not given, and -t parameter ends with '*' (i.e. the
   above defaulting did not tell us where to point HEAD at), and
   if we did the fetch with -f, check if 'master' was fetched
   and make HEAD point at it.

Some structs are allocated rather frequently, but were using integer
types which were far larger than required to actually store their

As packfiles are limited to 4 GiB we don't need more than 32 bits to
store the offset of an object within that packfile, an `unsigned long`
on a 64 bit system is likely a 64 bit unsigned value.  Saving 4 bytes
per object on a 64 bit system can add up fast on any sizable import.

As atom strings are strictly single components in a path name these
are probably limited to just 255 bytes by the underlying OS.  Going
to that short of a string is probably too restrictive, but certainly
`unsigned int` is far too large for their lengths.  `unsigned short`
is a reasonable limit.

Modes within a tree really only need two bytes to store their whole
value; using `unsigned int` here is vast overkill.  Saving 4 bytes
