Merge branch 'mh/simplify-repack-without-refs'

2014-12-22T20:26:50Z

"git remote update --prune" to drop many refs has been optimized. * mh/simplify-repack-without-refs: sort_string_list(): rename to string_list_sort() prune_remote(): iterate using for_each_string_list_item() prune_remote(): rename local variable repack_without_refs(): make the refnames argument a string_list prune_remote(): sort delete_refs_list references en masse prune_remote(): initialize both delete_refs lists in a single loop prune_remote(): exit early if there are no stale references

sort_string_list(): rename to string_list_sort()

2014-11-25T18:11:34Z

The new name is more consistent with the names of other string_list-related functions. Suggested-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git_connect: set ssh shell command in GIT_SSH_COMMAND

2014-11-10T16:55:10Z

It may be impractical to install a wrapper script for GIT_SSH when additional parameters need to be passed. Provide an alternative way of specifying a shell command to be run, including command line arguments, by means of the GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable, which behaves like GIT_SSH but is passed to the shell. The special circuitry to modify parameters in the case of using PuTTY's plink/tortoiseplink is activated only when using GIT_SSH; in the case of using GIT_SSH_COMMAND, it is deliberately left up to the user to make any required parameters adaptation before calling the underlying ssh implementation.

Merge branch 'rs/more-uses-of-skip-prefix'

2014-09-19T18:38:35Z

Code clean-up. * rs/more-uses-of-skip-prefix: pack-write: simplify index_pack_lockfile using skip_prefix() and xstrfmt() connect: simplify check_ref() using skip_prefix() and starts_with()

connect: simplify check_ref() using skip_prefix() and starts_with()

2014-09-02T17:36:42Z

Both callers of check_ref() pass in NUL-terminated strings for name. Remove the len parameter and then use skip_prefix() and starts_with() instead of memcmp() to check if it starts with certain strings. This gets rid of several magic string length constants and a strlen() call. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

run-command: introduce child_process_init()

2014-08-20T16:54:58Z

Add a helper function for initializing those struct child_process variables for which the macro CHILD_PROCESS_INIT can't be used. Suggested-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

run-command: introduce CHILD_PROCESS_INIT

2014-08-20T16:53:37Z

Most struct child_process variables are cleared using memset first after declaration. Provide a macro, CHILD_PROCESS_INIT, that can be used to initialize them statically instead. That's shorter, doesn't require a function call and is slightly more readable (especially given that we already have STRBUF_INIT, ARGV_ARRAY_INIT etc.).

* maint: use xmemdupz() to allocate copies of strings given by start and length use xcalloc() to allocate zero-initialized memory

use xmemdupz() to allocate copies of strings given by start and length

2014-07-21T17:37:02Z

Use xmemdupz() to allocate the memory, copy the data and make sure to NUL-terminate the result, all in one step. The resulting code is shorter, doesn't contain the constants 1 and '\0', and avoids duplicating function parameters. For blame, the last copied byte (o->file.ptr[o->file.size]) is always set to NUL by fake_working_tree_commit() or read_sha1_file(), so no information is lost by the conversion to using xmemdupz().

use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbers

2014-06-20T17:44:45Z

It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it with a magic number, like: if (starts_with(foo, "bar")) foo += 3; This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the string changes. We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic numbers here. Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter. For example: if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) { bar = arg + 6; continue; } could become: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar)) continue; However, I have left it as: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = v; continue; } to visually match nearby cases which need to actually process the string. Like: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = atoi(v); continue; } Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
