Exec git programs without using PATH.

2006-01-14T00:49:01Z

The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH. - git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands. - exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in the following directories: 1. --exec-path (as used by "git") 2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable. 3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)). - git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to invoke "git-foo" commands. Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

git: grok 'help' to mean '--help'.

2006-01-06T04:28:52Z

Most other scm's understand it, most users expect it and it's an easy fix. Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

\n usage in stderr output

2005-12-22T07:09:40Z

fprintf and die sometimes have missing/excessive "\n" in their arguments, correct the strings where I think it would be appropriate. Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Make "git help" sort git commands in columns

2005-12-18T21:53:40Z

This changes "pretty_print_string_list()" to show the git commands alphabetically in column order, which is the normal one. Ie instead of doing git commands available in '/home/torvalds/bin' ---------------------------------------------- add am ... applypatch archimport ... cat-file check-ref-format ... ... it does git commands available in '/home/torvalds/bin' ---------------------------------------------- add diff-tree ... am fetch ... apply fetch-pack ... ... where each column is sorted. This is how "ls" sorts things too, and since visually the columns are much more distinct than the rows, so it _looks_ more sorted. The "ls" command has a "-x" option that lists entries by lines (the way git.c used to): if somebody wants to do that, the new print-out logic could be easily accomodated to that too. Matter of taste and preference, I guess. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Make "git help" react to window size correctly

2005-12-18T21:53:33Z

Currently the git "show commands" function will react to the environment variable COLUMNS, or just default to a width of 80 characters. That's just soo eighties. Nobody sane sets COLUMNS any more, unless they need to support some stone-age software from before the age of steam engines, SIGWINCH and TIOCGWINSZ. So get with the new century, and use TIOCGWINSZ to get the terminal size. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Clean up compatibility definitions.

2005-12-05T23:50:29Z

This attempts to clean up the way various compatibility functions are defined and used. - A new header file, git-compat-util.h, is introduced. This looks at various NO_XXX and does necessary function name replacements, equivalent of -Dstrcasestr=gitstrcasestr in the Makefile. - Those function name replacements are removed from the Makefile. - Common features such as usage(), die(), xmalloc() are moved from cache.h to git-compat-util.h; cache.h includes git-compat-util.h itself.

git.c: remove excess output for debugging when command is too long.

2005-12-05T07:19:31Z

When the given command name was too long, we exited with a message with the number of bytes of the final command name inside parentheses, without saying what that number is. It was only meant as a debugging aid while development, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git.c: two fixes, gitsetenv type and off-by-one error.

2005-12-04T22:59:58Z

gitsetenv as implemented in compat/setenv.c takes two const char* and int; match that. Also fix an incorrect attempt in prepend_to_path() to NUL-terminate the string which stuffed the NUL character at one past the end of allocation, and was not needed to begin with (we copy the old_path string including the NUL which terminates it).

Add compat/setenv.c, use in git.c.

2005-12-04T06:25:25Z

There is no setenv() in Solaris 5.8. The trivial calls to setenv() were replaced by putenv() in a much earlier patch, but setenv() was used again in git.c. This patch just adds a compat/setenv.c. The rule for building git$(X) also needs to include compat. objects and compiler flags. Those are now in makefile vars COMPAT_OBJS and COMPAT_CFLAGS. Signed-off-by: E.

git wrapper: more careful argument stuffing

2005-12-02T01:06:37Z

- Use stderr for error output - Build git_command more careful - ENOENT is good enough for check of failed exec to show usage, no access() check needed [jc: Originally from Alex Riesen with inputs from Sven Verdoolaege mixed in.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
