Usage message clean-up, take #2

2005-12-14T10:53:43Z

There were some problems with the usage message clean-up patch series. I hadn't realised that subdirectory aware scripts can't source git-sh-setup. I propose that we change this and let the scripts which are subdirectory aware set a variable, SUBDIRECTORY_OK, before they source git-sh-setup. The scripts will also set USAGE and possibly LONG_USAGE before they source git-sh-setup. If LONG_USAGE isn't set it defaults to USAGE. If we go this way it's easy to catch --help in git-sh-setup, print the (long) usage message to stdout and exit cleanly. git-sh-setup can define a 'usage' shell function which can be called by the scripts to print the short usage string to stderr and exit non-cleanly. It will also be easy to change $0 to basename $0 or something else, if would like to do that sometime in the future. What follows is a patch to convert a couple of the commands to this style. If it's ok with everyone to do it this way I will convert the rest of the scripts too. [jc: thrown in to proposed updates queue for comments.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

define die() for scripts that use it.

2005-11-29T07:13:03Z

As a fallout from not using git-sh-setup in scripts that can operate from a subdirectory, we lost definition of die() from them. It might make sense to do some cleanup to consolidate them back again, but this should suffice for now. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-sh-setup: die if outside git repository.

2005-11-25T21:49:17Z

Now all the users of this script detect its exit status and die, complaining that it is outside git repository. So move the code that dies from all callers to git-sh-setup script. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-branch: -f to forcibly reset branch head.

2005-11-18T23:53:12Z

A new usage, 'git-branch -f branch [start]', resets the branch head at start (or current head). Should be considered a dangerous operation, but if you are like me to keep rewinding branches it is handy. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

allow git-update-ref create refs with slashes in names

2005-11-15T01:15:32Z

Make git-update-ref create references with slashes in them. git-branch and git-checkout already support such reference names. git-branch can use git-update-ref to create the references in a more formal manner now. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Do not fail on hierarchical branch names.

2005-11-03T00:50:58Z

"git-checkout -b frotz/nitfol master" failed to create $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/frotz/nitfol but went ahead and updated $GIT_DIR/HEAD to point at it, resulting in a corrupt repository. Exit when we cannot create the new branch with an error status. While we are at it, there is no reason to forbid subdirectories in refs/heads, so make sure we handle that correctly.

git-check-ref-format: reject funny ref names.

2005-10-15T18:23:39Z

Update check_ref_format() function to reject ref names that: * has a path component that begins with a ".", or * has a double dots "..", or * has ASCII control character, "~", "^", ":" or SP, anywhere, or * ends with a "/". Use it in 'git-checkout -b', 'git-branch', and 'git-tag' to make sure that newly created refs are well-formed. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
