A few commands that recently learned the "--recurse-submodule" option misbehaved when started from a subdirectory of the superproject. * bw/recurse-submodules-relative-fix: ls-files: fix bug when recursing with relative pathspec ls-files: fix typo in variable name grep: fix bug when recursing with relative pathspec setup: allow for prefix to be passed to git commands grep: fix help text typo

setup: allow for prefix to be passed to git commands

2017-03-17T18:54:50Z

In a future patch child processes which act on submodules need a little more context about the original command that was invoked. This patch teaches git to use the prefix stored in `GIT_INTERNAL_TOPLEVEL_PREFIX` instead of the prefix that was potentally found during the git directory setup process.

rebase--helper: add a builtin helper for interactive rebases

2017-02-09T22:55:26Z

Git's interactive rebase is still implemented as a shell script, despite its complexity. This implies that it suffers from the portability point of view, from lack of expressibility, and of course also from performance. The latter issue is particularly serious on Windows, where we pay a hefty price for relying so much on POSIX. Unfortunately, being such a huge shell script also means that we missed the train when it would have been relatively easy to port it to C, and instead piled feature upon feature onto that poor script that originally never intended to be more than a slightly pimped cherry-pick in a loop. To open the road toward better performance (in addition to all the other benefits of C over shell scripts), let's just start *somewhere*. The approach taken here is to add a builtin helper that at first intends to take care of the parts of the interactive rebase that are most affected by the performance penalties mentioned above. In particular, after we spent all those efforts on preparing the sequencer to process rebase -i's git-rebase-todo scripts, we implement the `git rebase -i --continue` functionality as a new builtin, git-rebase--helper. Once that is in place, we can work gradually on tackling the rest of the technical debt. Note that the rebase--helper needs to learn about the transient --ff/--no-ff options of git-rebase, as the corresponding flag is not persisted to, and re-read from, the state directory.

unpack-trees: support super-prefix option

2017-01-25T20:33:33Z

In the future we want to support working tree operations within submodules, e.g. "git checkout --recurse-submodules", which will update the submodule to the commit as recorded in its superproject. In the submodule the unpack-tree operation is carried out as usual, but the reporting to the user needs to prefix any path with the superproject. The mechanism for this is the super-prefix. (see 74866d757, git: make super-prefix option) Add support for the super-prefix option for commands that unpack trees by wrapping any path output in unpacking trees in the newly introduced super_prefixed function. This new function prefixes any path with the super-prefix if there is one. Assuming the submodule case doesn't happen in the majority of the cases, we'd want to have a fast behavior for no super prefix, i.e. no reallocation/copying, but just returning path. Another aspect of introducing the `super_prefixed` function is to consider who owns the memory and if this is the right place where the path gets modified. As the super prefix ought to change the output behavior only and not the actual unpack tree part, it is fine to be that late in the line. As we get passed in 'const char *path', we cannot change the path itself, which means in case of a super prefix we have to copy over the path. We need two static buffers in that function as the error messages contain at most two paths. For testing purposes enable it in read-tree, which has no output of paths other than an unpack-trees.c. These are all converted in this patch. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'jk/execv-dashed-external'

2017-01-18T23:12:16Z

Typing ^C to pager, which usually does not kill it, killed Git and took the pager down as a collateral damage in certain process-tree structure.

difftool: add a skeleton for the upcoming builtin

2017-01-17T21:32:47Z

This adds a builtin difftool that still falls back to the legacy Perl version, which has been renamed to `legacy-difftool`. The idea is that the new, experimental, builtin difftool immediately hands off to the legacy difftool for now, unless the config variable difftool.useBuiltin is set to true. This feature flag will be used in the upcoming Git for Windows v2.11.0 release, to allow early testers to opt-in to use the builtin difftool and flesh out any bugs.
