fetch-pack: start multi-head pulling.

2005-08-12T17:38:21Z

This is a beginning of resurrecting the multi-head pulling support for git-fetch-pack command. The git-fetch-script wrapper still only knows about fetching a single head, without renaming, so it is not very useful unless you directly call git-fetch-pack itself yet. It also fixes a longstanding obsolete description of how the command discovers the list of local commits.

Merge three separate "fetch refs" functions

2005-07-16T20:55:50Z

It really just boils down to one "get_remote_heads()" function, and a common "struct ref" structure definition.

Get rid of nasty utf-8 characters in printout

2005-07-14T03:55:56Z

Oh, well.. FC4 has UTF-8 as the default environment, and I applaud that, but then it sometimes results in these characters that aren't actually visible as a problem.

git-fetch-pack: close output fd after dup'ing the input

2005-07-14T02:40:06Z

With the socket case, the input and output fd's might end up being the same, so we want to dup the other before we close either of them.

Move "get_ack()" to common git_connect functions

2005-07-05T22:44:09Z

git-clone-pack will want it too. Soon.

Remove multi-head support from fetch-pack

2005-07-05T21:39:30Z

It was a misguided attempt to mix fetching and cloning. I'll make a separate clone thing.

Add "git_path()" and "head_ref()" helper functions.

2005-07-05T18:31:32Z

"git_path()" returns a static pathname pointer into the git directory using a printf-like format specifier. "head_ref()" works like "for_each_ref()", except for just the HEAD.

Make git-fetch-pack actually do all the unpacking etc.

2005-07-04T23:35:13Z

It returns the result SHA1 on stdout, so you can do remote=$(git-fetch-pack host:dir branchname) and it will unpack the objects and "remote" will be the SHA1 name of the branch on the other side. You can then save that off, or merge it, or whatever.

Make git-fetch-pack and git-upload-pack negotiate needs/haves fully

2005-07-04T22:29:17Z

Now the only piece missing is actually generating the pack-file.
