archive: handle commits with an empty tree

2013-03-11T05:25:22Z

git-archive relies on get_pathspec to convert its argv into a list of pathspecs. When get_pathspec is given an empty argv list, it returns a single pathspec, the empty string, to indicate that everything matches. When we feed this to our path_exists function, we typically see that the pathspec turns up at least one item in the tree, and we are happy. But when our tree is empty, we erroneously think it is because the pathspec is too limited, when in fact it is simply that there is nothing to be found in the tree. This is a weird corner case, but the correct behavior is almost certainly to produce an empty archive, not to exit with an error. This patch teaches git-archive to create empty archives when there is no pathspec given (we continue to complain if a pathspec is given, since it obviously is not matched). It also confirms that the tar and zip writers produce sane output in this instance. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Add directory pattern matching to attributes

2012-12-18T06:07:23Z

The manpage of gitattributes says: "The rules how the pattern matches paths are the same as in .gitignore files" and the gitignore pattern matching has a pattern ending with / for directory matching. This rule is specifically relevant for the 'export-ignore' rule used for git archive. Signed-off-by: Jean-Noel Avila Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Reduce translations by using same terminologies

2012-08-22T19:02:28Z

Somewhere in help usage, we use both "message" and "msg", "command" and "cmd", "key id" and "key-id". This patch makes all help text from parseopt use the first form. Clearer and 3 fewer strings for translators. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

There is no need to build a copy of the relevant part of the string just to make sure we have a NUL-terminated string. We can simply pass the length of the interesting part to dwim_ref() instead. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

archive: delegate blob reading to backend

2012-05-03T17:22:56Z

archive-tar.c and archive-zip.c now perform conversion check, with help of sha1_file_to_archive() from archive.c This gives backends more freedom in dealing with (streaming) large blobs. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

archive: re-allow HEAD:Documentation on a remote invocation

2012-01-12T03:21:22Z

The tightening done in (ee27ca4a: archive: don't let remote clients get unreachable commits, 2011-11-17) went too far and disallowed HEAD:Documentation as it would try to find "HEAD:Documentation" as a ref. Only DWIM the "HEAD" part to see if it exists as a ref. Once we're sure that we've been given a valid ref, we follow the normal code path. This still disallows attempts to access commits which are not branch tips. Signed-off-by: Carlos Martín Nieto Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
