Merge branch 'js/visual-studio'

2019-08-02T20:12:02Z

Support building Git with Visual Studio The bits about .git/branches/* have been dropped from the series. We may want to drop the support for it, but until that happens, the tests should rely on the existence of the support to pass. * js/visual-studio: (23 commits) git: avoid calling aliased builtins via their dashed form bin-wrappers: append `.exe` to target paths if necessary .gitignore: ignore Visual Studio's temporary/generated files .gitignore: touch up the entries regarding Visual Studio vcxproj: also link-or-copy builtins msvc: add a Makefile target to pre-generate the Visual Studio solution contrib/buildsystems: add a backend for modern Visual Studio versions contrib/buildsystems: handle options starting with a slash contrib/buildsystems: also handle -lexpat contrib/buildsystems: handle libiconv, too contrib/buildsystems: handle the curl library option contrib/buildsystems: error out on unknown option contrib/buildsystems: optionally capture the dry-run in a file contrib/buildsystems: redirect errors of the dry run into a log file contrib/buildsystems: ignore gettext stuff contrib/buildsystems: handle quoted spaces in filenames contrib/buildsystems: fix misleading error message contrib/buildsystems: ignore irrelevant files in Generators/ contrib/buildsystems: ignore invalidcontinue.obj Vcproj.pm: urlencode '<' and '>' when generating VC projects ...

git: avoid calling aliased builtins via their dashed form

2019-07-29T21:51:43Z

This is one of the few places where Git violates its own deprecation of the dashed form. It is not necessary, either. As of 595d59e2b53 (git.c: ignore pager.* when launching builtin as dashed external, 2017-08-02), Git wants to ignore the pager.* config setting when expanding aliases. So let's strip out the check_pager_config() call from the copy-edited code. This code actually made it into upstream git.git already, but it was disabled in `#if 0 ... #endif` guards so far.

Merge branch 'js/rebase-cleanup'

2019-07-29T19:39:14Z

A few leftover cleanup to "git rebase" in C. * js/rebase-cleanup: git: mark cmd_rebase as requiring a worktree rebase: fix white-space

Merge branch 'ab/test-env'

2019-07-25T20:59:20Z

Many GIT_TEST_* environment variables control various aspects of how our tests are run, but a few followed "non-empty is true, empty or unset is false" while others followed the usual "there are a few ways to spell true, like yes, on, etc., and also ways to spell false, like no, off, etc." convention. * ab/test-env: env--helper: mark a file-local symbol as static tests: make GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS a boolean tests: replace test_tristate with "git env--helper" tests README: re-flow a previously changed paragraph tests: make GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON a boolean t6040 test: stop using global "script" variable config.c: refactor die_bad_number() to not call gettext() early env--helper: new undocumented builtin wrapping git_env_*() config tests: simplify include cycle test

git: mark cmd_rebase as requiring a worktree

2019-07-25T15:58:13Z

We skipped marking the "rebase" built-in as requiring a .git/ directory and a worktree only to allow to spawn the scripted version of `git rebase`. Now that we no longer have that escape hatch, we can change that to the canonical form. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'nd/switch-and-restore'

2019-07-09T22:25:44Z

Two new commands "git switch" and "git restore" are introduced to split "checking out a branch to work on advancing its history" and "checking out paths out of the index and/or a tree-ish to work on advancing the current history" out of the single "git checkout" command. * nd/switch-and-restore: (46 commits) completion: disable dwim on "git switch -d" switch: allow to switch in the middle of bisect t2027: use test_must_be_empty Declare both git-switch and git-restore experimental help: move git-diff and git-reset to different groups doc: promote "git restore" user-manual.txt: prefer 'merge --abort' over 'reset --hard' completion: support restore t: add tests for restore restore: support --patch restore: replace --force with --ignore-unmerged restore: default to --source=HEAD when only --staged is specified restore: reject invalid combinations with --staged restore: add --worktree and --staged checkout: factor out worktree checkout code restore: disable overlay mode by default restore: make pathspec mandatory restore: take tree-ish from --source option instead checkout: split part of it to new command 'restore' doc: promote "git switch" ...

env--helper: new undocumented builtin wrapping git_env_*()

2019-06-21T16:42:49Z

We have many GIT_TEST_* variables that accept a because they're implemented in C, and then some that take because they're implemented at least partially in shellscript. Add a helper that wraps git_env_bool() and git_env_ulong() as the first step in fixing this. This isn't being added as a test-tool mode because some of these are used outside the test suite. Part of what this tool does can be done via a trick with "git config" added in 83d842dc8c ("tests: turn on network daemon tests by default", 2014-02-10) for test_tristate(), i.e.: git -c magic.variable="$1" config --bool magic.variable 2>/dev/null But as subsequent changes will show being able to pass along the default value makes all the difference, and we'll be able to replace test_tristate() itself with that. The --type=bool option will be used by subsequent patches, but not --type=ulong. I figured it was easy enough to add it & test for it so I left it in so we'd have wrappers for both git_env_*() functions, and to have a template to make it obvious how we'd add --type=int etc. if it's needed in the future.

Merge branch 'po/git-help-on-git-itself'

2019-06-17T17:15:19Z

"git help git" was hard to discover (well, at least for some people). * po/git-help-on-git-itself: Doc: git.txt: remove backticks from link and add git-scm.com/docs git.c: show usage for accessing the git(1) help page

git.c: show usage for accessing the git(1) help page

2019-05-16T01:44:09Z

It is not immediately obvious how to use the `git help` system to show the git(1) page, with its overview and its background and coordinating material, such as environment variables. Let's simply list it as the last few words of the last usage line. Signed-off-by: Philip Oakley Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'js/misc-doc-fixes'

2019-05-08T15:37:27Z

"make check-docs", "git help -a", etc. did not account for cases where a particular build may deliberately omit some subcommands, which has been corrected. * js/misc-doc-fixes: Turn `git serve` into a test helper test-tool: handle the `-C ` option just like `git` check-docs: do not bother checking for legacy scripts' documentation docs: exclude documentation for commands that have been excluded check-docs: allow command-list.txt to contain excluded commands help -a: do not list commands that are excluded from the build Makefile: drop the NO_INSTALL variable remote-testgit: move it into the support directory for t5801
