git-commit: replace use of home_config_paths()

2015-05-06T18:33:42Z

Since home_config_paths() combines two distinct functionality already implemented by expand_user_path() and xdg_config_home(), and hides the home config file path ~/.gitconfig. Make the code more explicit by replacing the use of home_config_paths() with expand_user_path() and xdg_config_home(). Signed-off-by: Paul Tan Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'mh/refs-have-new'

2015-03-05T20:45:39Z

Simplify the ref transaction API around how "the ref should be pointing at this object" is specified. * mh/refs-have-new: refs.h: remove duplication in function docstrings update_ref(): improve documentation ref_transaction_verify(): new function to check a reference's value ref_transaction_delete(): check that old_sha1 is not null_sha1 ref_transaction_create(): check that new_sha1 is valid commit: avoid race when creating orphan commits commit: add tests of commit races ref_transaction_delete(): remove "have_old" parameter ref_transaction_update(): remove "have_old" parameter struct ref_update: move "have_old" into "flags" refs.c: change some "flags" to "unsigned int" refs: remove the gap in the REF_* constant values refs: move REF_DELETING to refs.c

commit: avoid race when creating orphan commits

2015-02-17T19:24:20Z

If HEAD doesn't point at anything during the initial check, then we should make sure that it *still* doesn't point at anything when we are ready to update the reference. Otherwise, another process might commit while we are working (e.g., while we are waiting for the user to edit the commit message) and we will silently overwrite it. This fixes a failing test in t7516. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty Reviewed-by: Stefan Beller Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

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

Merge branch 'mg/commit-author-no-match-malformed-message'

2015-02-17T18:15:23Z

The error message from "git commit", when a non-existing author name was given as value to the "--author=" parameter, has been reworded to avoid misunderstanding. * mg/commit-author-no-match-malformed-message: commit: reword --author error message

Merge branch 'jk/blame-commit-label'

2015-02-11T21:39:50Z

"git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD". * jk/blame-commit-label: blame.c: fix garbled error message use xstrdup_or_null to replace ternary conditionals builtin/commit.c: use xstrdup_or_null instead of envdup builtin/apply.c: use xstrdup_or_null instead of null_strdup git-compat-util: add xstrdup_or_null helper

commit: reword --author error message

2015-01-27T03:57:12Z

If an --author argument is specified but does not contain a '>' then git tries to find the argument within the existing authors; and gives the error message "No existing author found with '%s'" if there is no match. This is confusing for users who try to specify a valid complete author name. Rename the error message to make it clearer that the failure has two reasons in this case. (This codepath is touched only when we know already that the argument cannot be a completely wellformed author ident.)
