Merge branch 'dt/notes-multiple'

2015-08-25T21:57:08Z

When linked worktree is used, simultaneous "notes merge" instances for the same ref in refs/notes/* are prevented from stomping on each other. * dt/notes-multiple: notes: handle multiple worktrees worktrees: add find_shared_symref

Merge branch 'jk/git-path'

2015-08-19T21:48:56Z

git_path() and mkpath() are handy helper functions but it is easy to misuse, as the callers need to be careful to keep the number of active results below 4. Their uses have been reduced. * jk/git-path: memoize common git-path "constant" files get_repo_path: refactor path-allocation find_hook: keep our own static buffer refs.c: remove_empty_directories can take a strbuf refs.c: avoid git_path assignment in lock_ref_sha1_basic refs.c: avoid repeated git_path calls in rename_tmp_log refs.c: simplify strbufs in reflog setup and writing path.c: drop git_path_submodule refs.c: remove extra git_path calls from read_loose_refs remote.c: drop extraneous local variable from migrate_file prefer mkpathdup to mkpath in assignments prefer git_pathdup to git_path in some possibly-dangerous cases add_to_alternates_file: don't add duplicate entries t5700: modernize style cache.h: complete set of git_path_submodule helpers cache.h: clarify documentation for git_path, et al

Merge branch 'es/worktree-add-cleanup'

2015-08-12T21:09:56Z

The "new-worktree-mode" hack in "checkout" that was added in nd/multiple-work-trees topic has been removed by updating the implementation of new "worktree add". * es/worktree-add-cleanup: (25 commits) Documentation/git-worktree: fix duplicated 'from' Documentation/config: mention "now" and "never" for 'expire' settings Documentation/git-worktree: fix broken 'linkgit' invocation checkout: drop intimate knowledge of newly created worktree worktree: populate via "git reset --hard" rather than "git checkout" worktree: avoid resolving HEAD unnecessarily worktree: make setup of new HEAD distinct from worktree population worktree: detect branch-name/detached and error conditions locally worktree: add_worktree: construct worktree-population command locally worktree: elucidate environment variables intended for child processes worktree: make branch creation distinct from worktree population worktree: add: suppress auto-vivication with --detach and no worktree: make --detach mutually exclusive with -b/-B worktree: introduce options container worktree: simplify new branch (-b/-B) option checking worktree: improve worktree setup message branch: publish die_if_checked_out() checkout: teach check_linked_checkout() about symbolic link HEAD checkout: check_linked_checkout: simplify symref parsing checkout: check_linked_checkout: improve "already checked out" aesthetic ...

worktrees: add find_shared_symref

2015-08-11T20:48:15Z

Add a new function, find_shared_symref, which contains the heart of die_if_checked_out, but works for any symref, not just HEAD. Refactor die_if_checked_out to use the same infrastructure as find_shared_symref. Soon, we will use find_shared_symref to protect notes merges in worktrees.

memoize common git-path "constant" files

2015-08-10T22:37:14Z

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. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

branch: publish die_if_checked_out()

2015-07-20T18:29:24Z

git-worktree currently conflates new branch creation, setting of HEAD in the new wortkree, and worktree population into a single sub-invocation of git-checkout. However, these operations will eventually be separated, and git-worktree itself will need to be able to detect if the branch is already checked out elsewhere, rather than relying upon git-branch to make this determination, so publish die_if_checked_out().

ref_transaction_update(): remove "have_old" parameter

2015-02-17T19:22:50Z

Instead, verify the reference's old value if and only if old_sha1 is non-NULL. ref_transaction_delete() will get the same treatment in a moment. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty Reviewed-by: Stefan Beller Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

refs.c: change resolve_ref_unsafe reading argument to be a flags field

2014-10-15T17:47:24Z

resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when we want this behaviour. While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited. Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same treatment for consistency. Signed-off-by: Ronnie Sahlberg Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

refs.c: pass the ref log message to _create/delete/update instead of _commit

2014-10-15T17:47:22Z

Change the ref transaction API so that we pass the reflog message to the create/delete/update functions instead of to ref_transaction_commit. This allows different reflog messages for each ref update in a multi-ref transaction. Signed-off-by: Ronnie Sahlberg Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
