git/git-fetch.sh, branch v0.99.8a

[PATCH] git fetch --tags

2005-10-02T06:18:38Z

You can do git fetch --tags and it should fetch all my tags automatically. [jc: The original by Linus fetched and overwrote branch heads with --all, which felt dangerous and wrong, so I removed it. Also this version does not use any refs that resulted as --tags for later merge. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Use git-update-ref in scripts.

2005-09-28T23:42:44Z

This uses the git-update-ref command in scripts for safer updates. Also places where we used to read HEAD ref by using "cat" were fixed to use git-rev-parse. This will matter when we start using symbolic references. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Fix default pull not to do an unintended Octopus.

2005-09-28T23:22:00Z

The refspecs specified in the .git/remotes/ on the "Pull: " lines are for fetching multiple heads in one go, but most of the time making an Octopus out of them is not what is wanted. Make git-fetch leave the marker in .git/FETCH_HEAD file so that later stages can tell which heads are for merging and which are not. Tom Prince made me realize how stupid the original behaviour was.

git-fetch: send informational output to >&2 consistently.

Only the "Fetching ... using http" was leaking to stdout. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Revert "Make Octopus merge message a bit nicer."

Make Octopus merge message a bit nicer.

2005-09-21T01:16:27Z

Linus says that 'of .' to mean the commits came from the local repository was too confusing and ugly -- I tend to agree with him. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Do not give alarming error message from rsync in fetch and clone.

2005-09-20T22:07:54Z

When we check the optional objects/info/alternates file at the remote repository, we forgot to really squelch error message from rsync. Not having that file is not a crime. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Teach rsync transport about alternates.

2005-09-17T18:56:41Z

For local operations and downloading and uploading via git aware protocols, use of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates is recommended on the server side for big projects that are derived from another one (like Linux kernel). However, dumb protocols and rsync transport needs to resolve this on the client end, which we did not bother doing until this week. I noticed we use "rsync -z" but most of our payload is already compressed, which was not quite right. This commit also fixes it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Propagate errors from fetch-pack correctly to git-fetch.

2005-09-13T05:52:52Z

When git-fetch-pack fails, the command does not notice the failure and instead pretended nothing was fetched and there was nothing wrong. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Make sure we have leading directories under refs/{heads,tags}

2005-09-10T17:40:47Z

Otherwise having subdirectories under refs/heads becomes rather unwieldy. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
