pull: check if in unresolved merge state

2015-06-18T20:17:16Z

Since d38a30d (Be more user-friendly when refusing to do something because of conflict., 2010-01-12), git-pull will error out with user-friendly advices if the user is in the middle of a merge or has unmerged files. Re-implement this behavior. While the "has unmerged files" case can be handled by die_resolve_conflict(), we introduce a new function die_conclude_merge() for printing a different error message for when there are no unmerged files but the merge has not been finished.

standardize usage info string format

2015-01-14T17:32:04Z

This patch puts the usage info strings that were not already in docopt- like format into docopt-like format, which will be a litle easier for end users and a lot easier for translators. Changes include: - Placing angle brackets around fill-in-the-blank parameters - Putting dashes in multiword parameter names - Adding spaces to [-f|--foobar] to make [-f | --foobar] - Replacing * with [...] Signed-off-by: Alex Henrie Reviewed-by: Matthieu Moy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

merge, pull: stop advising 'commit -a' in case of conflict

2014-08-28T17:29:53Z

'git commit -a' is rarely a good way to mark conflicts as resolved: the user anyway has to go manually through the list of conflicts to do the actual resolution, and it is usually better to use "git add" on each files after doing the resolution. On the other hand, using 'git commit -a' is potentially dangerous, as it makes it very easy to mistakenly commit conflict markers without noticing, and even worse, the user may have started a merge while having local changes that do not overlap with it in the working tree. While we're there, synchronize the 'git pull' and 'git merge' messages: the first was ending with '... and make a commit.', but not the latter. Eventually, git should detect that conflicts have been resolved in the working tree and tailor these messages further. Not only "use git commit -a" could be resurected, but "Fix them up in the work tree" should be dropped when it happens. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

refactor skip_prefix to return a boolean

2014-06-20T17:44:43Z

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); Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

error_resolve_conflict: drop quotations around operation

2014-06-03T17:04:21Z

When you try to commit with unmerged entries, you get an error like: $ git commit error: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files. The quotes around "commit" are clunky; the user doesn't care that this message is a template with the command-name filled in. Saying: error: commit is not possible because you have unmerged files is easier to read. As this code is called from other places, we may also end up with: $ git merge error: merge is not possible because you have unmerged files $ git cherry-pick foo error: cherry-pick is not possible because you have unmerged files $ git revert foo error: revert is not possible because you have unmerged files All of which look better without the quotes. This also happens to match the behavior of "git pull", which generates a similar message (but does not share code, as it is a shell script). Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

error_resolve_conflict: rewrap advice message

2014-06-03T17:04:19Z

If you try to commit with unresolved conflicts in the index, you get this message: $ git commit U foo error: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files. hint: Fix them up in the work tree, hint: and then use 'git add/rm ' as hint: appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, hint: or use 'git commit -a'. fatal: Exiting because of an unresolved conflict. The irregular line-wrapping makes this awkward to read, and it takes up more lines than necessary. Instead, let's rewrap it to about 60 characters per line: $ git commit U foo error: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files. hint: Fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm ' hint: as appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use hint: 'git commit -a'. fatal: Exiting because of an unresolved conflict.
