user/sven/git.git/git-cvsserver.perl, branch v1.8.0.2

use -h for synopsis and --help for manpage consistently

2011-10-05T17:47:10Z

A few scripted Porcelain implementations pretend as if the routine to show their own help messages are triggered upon "git cmd --help", but a command line parser of "git" will hijack such a request and shows the manpage for the cmd subcommand. Leaving the code to handle such input is simply misleading. Signed-off-by: Clemens Buchacher Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]

2010-09-27T19:37:41Z

Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2. However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open syntax: sub run_cmd_pipe { my $fh = undef; open($fh, '-|', @_) or die; return <$fh>; } Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1): t2016-checkout-patch.sh t3904-stash-patch.sh t3701-add-interactive.sh t7105-reset-patch.sh t7501-commit.sh t9700-perl-git.sh Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using useful features introduced in the 5.8 release. The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old. All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX Solaris and Tru64 systems.

git-cvsserver: fix error for invalid password formats

2010-06-21T04:58:26Z

Change the error message to report the erroneous password character. $1 was never set in the previos version, it was a leftover from older code that used a regex for the test. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-cvsserver: Improved error handling for pserver

2010-05-20T04:02:59Z

- Produce an error if the user tries to supply a password for anonymous - Clarify the error message produced when there's no [gitcvs.authdb] - Produce an E error if the authdb doesn't exist instead of spewing $! to the user - do crypt($user, descramble($pass)) eq $hash; crypt($user, $hash) eq $hash would accept any password Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-cvsserver: indent & clean up authdb code

2010-05-20T04:02:59Z

- Indent the last commit to fit with the rest of the code. - Use lexical filehandles instead of global globs - Close the filehandle after the password database has been read. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

If a git repository is shared via HTTP, the config file is typically visible. Use an external file instead. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
