git-revert.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitution

2014-04-17T18:15:00Z

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`. The backquoted form is the traditional method for command substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require careful escaping with the backslash character. The patch was generated by: for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh") do sed -i 's@`$.*$`@$(\1)@g' ${_f} done and then carefully proof-read.

cherry-pick/revert: add support for -X/--strategy-option

2010-12-28T19:27:56Z

For example, this would allow cherry-picking or reverting patches from a piece of history with a different end-of-line style, like so: $ git revert -Xrenormalize old-problematic-commit Currently that is possible with manual use of merge-recursive but the cherry-pick/revert porcelain does not expose the functionality. While at it, document the existing support for --strategy. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Eliminate “Finished cherry-pick/revert” message

2010-08-16T02:12:00Z

When cherry-pick was written (v0.99.6~63, 2005-08-27), “git commit” was quiet, and the output from cherry-pick provided useful information about the progress of a rebase. Now next to the output from “git commit”, the cherry-pick notification is so much noise (except for the name of the picked commit). $ git cherry-pick ..topic Finished cherry-pick of 499088b. [detached HEAD 17e1ff2] Move glob module to libdpkg Author: Guillem Jover 8 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) rename {src => lib/dpkg}/glob.c (98%) rename {src => lib/dpkg}/glob.h (93%) Finished cherry-pick of ae947e1. [detached HEAD 058caa3] libdpkg: Add missing symbols to Versions script Author: Guillem Jover 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) $ The noise is especially troublesome when sifting through the output of a rebase or multiple cherry-pick that eventually failed. With the commit subject, it is already not hard to figure out where the commit came from. So drop the “Finished” message.
