add: add --chmod=+x / --chmod=-x options

2016-06-08T00:43:39Z

The executable bit will not be detected (and therefore will not be set) for paths in a repository with `core.filemode` set to false, though the users may still wish to add files as executable for compatibility with other users who _do_ have `core.filemode` functionality. For example, Windows users adding shell scripts may wish to add them as executable for compatibility with users on non-Windows. Although this can be done with a plumbing command (`git update-index --add --chmod=+x foo`), teaching the `git-add` command allows users to set a file executable with a command that they're already familiar with.

Merge branch 'nd/worktree-various-heads'

2016-05-23T21:54:29Z

The experimental "multiple worktree" feature gains more safety to forbid operations on a branch that is checked out or being actively worked on elsewhere, by noticing that e.g. it is being rebased. * nd/worktree-various-heads: branch: do not rename a branch under bisect or rebase worktree.c: check whether branch is bisected in another worktree wt-status.c: split bisect detection out of wt_status_get_state() worktree.c: check whether branch is rebased in another worktree worktree.c: avoid referencing to worktrees[i] multiple times wt-status.c: make wt_status_check_rebase() work on any worktree wt-status.c: split rebase detection out of wt_status_get_state() path.c: refactor and add worktree_git_path() worktree.c: mark current worktree worktree.c: make find_shared_symref() return struct worktree * worktree.c: store "id" instead of "git_dir" path.c: add git_common_path() and strbuf_git_common_path() dir.c: rename str(n)cmp_icase to fspath(n)cmp

Merge branch 'js/windows-dotgit'

2016-05-17T21:38:39Z

On Windows, .git and optionally any files whose name starts with a dot are now marked as hidden, with a core.hideDotFiles knob to customize this behaviour. * js/windows-dotgit: mingw: remove unnecessary definition mingw: introduce the 'core.hideDotFiles' setting

Merge branch 'ab/hooks'

2016-05-17T21:38:17Z

A new configuration variable core.hooksPath allows customizing where the hook directory is. * ab/hooks: hooks: allow customizing where the hook directory is githooks.txt: minor improvements to the grammar & phrasing githooks.txt: amend dangerous advice about 'update' hook ACL githooks.txt: improve the intro section

mingw: introduce the 'core.hideDotFiles' setting

2016-05-11T20:54:53Z

On Unix (and Linux), files and directories whose names start with a dot are usually not shown by default. This convention is used by Git: the .git/ directory should be left alone by regular users, and only accessed through Git itself. On Windows, no such convention exists. Instead, there is an explicit flag to mark files or directories as hidden. In the early days, Git for Windows did not mark the .git/ directory (or for that matter, any file or directory whose name starts with a dot) hidden. This lead to quite a bit of confusion, and even loss of data. Consequently, Git for Windows introduced the core.hideDotFiles setting, with three possible values: true, false, and dotGitOnly, defaulting to marking only the .git/ directory as hidden. The rationale: users do not need to access .git/ directly, and indeed (as was demonstrated) should not really see that directory, either. However, not all dot files should be hidden by default, as e.g. Eclipse does not show them (and the user would therefore be unable to see, say, a .gitattributes file). In over five years since the last attempt to bring this patch into core Git, a slightly buggy version of this patch has served Git for Windows' users well: no single report indicated problems with the hidden .git/ directory, and the stream of problems caused by the previously non-hidden .git/ directory simply stopped. The bugs have been fixed during the process of getting this patch upstream. Note that there is a funny quirk we have to pay attention to when creating hidden files: we use Win32's _wopen() function which transmogrifies its arguments and hands off to Win32's CreateFile() function. That latter function errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (the equivalent of EACCES) when the equivalent of the O_CREAT flag was passed and the file attributes (including the hidden flag) do not match an existing file's. And _wopen() accepts no parameter that would be transmogrified into said hidden flag. Therefore, we simply try again without O_CREAT. A slightly different method is required for our fopen()/freopen() function as we cannot even *remove* the implicit O_CREAT flag. Therefore, we briefly mark existing files as unhidden when opening them via fopen()/freopen(). The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error can also be triggered by opening a file that is marked as a system file (which is unlikely to be tracked in Git), and by trying to create a file that has *just* been deleted and is awaiting the last open handles to be released (which would be handled better by the "Try again?" logic, a story for a different patch series, though). In both cases, it does not matter much if we try again without the O_CREAT flag, read: it does not hurt, either.

Merge branch 'bc/object-id'

2016-05-06T21:45:44Z

Move from unsigned char[20] to struct object_id continues. * bc/object-id: match-trees: convert several leaf functions to use struct object_id tree-walk: convert tree_entry_extract() to use struct object_id struct name_entry: use struct object_id instead of unsigned char sha1[20] match-trees: convert shift_tree() and shift_tree_by() to use object_id test-match-trees: convert to use struct object_id sha1-name: introduce a get_oid() function

hooks: allow customizing where the hook directory is

2016-05-04T23:25:13Z

Change the hardcoded lookup for .git/hooks/* to optionally lookup in $(git config core.hooksPath)/* instead. This is essentially a more intrusive version of the git-init ability to specify hooks on init time via init templates. The difference between that facility and this feature is that this can be set up after the fact via e.g. ~/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig to apply for all your personal repositories, or all repositories on the system. I plan on using this on a centralized Git server where users can create arbitrary repositories under /gitroot, but I'd like to manage all the hooks that should be run centrally via a unified dispatch mechanism.

Merge branch 'nd/remove-unused'

2016-05-03T21:08:13Z

Code cleanup. * nd/remove-unused: wrapper.c: delete dead function git_mkstemps() dir.c: remove dead function fnmatch_icase()

path.c: add git_common_path() and strbuf_git_common_path()

2016-04-22T21:09:37Z

These are mostly convenient functions to reduce code duplication. Most of the time, we should be able to get by with git_path() which handles $GIT_COMMON_DIR internally. However there are a few cases where we need to construct paths manually, for example some paths from a specific worktree. These functions will enable that.

wrapper.c: delete dead function git_mkstemps()

2016-04-22T21:07:55Z

Its last call site was replaced by mks_tempfile_ts() in 284098f (diff: use tempfile module - 2015-08-12) and there's a good chance mks_tempfile_ts will continue to successfully handle this job. Delete it. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
