pull --rebase: be cleverer with rebased upstream branches

2008-01-27T02:24:24Z

When the upstream branch is tracked, we can detect if that branch was rebased since it was last fetched. Teach git to use that information to rebase from the old remote head onto the new remote head. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

"git pull --tags": error out with a better message.

2007-12-29T05:01:24Z

When "git pull --tags" is run without any other arguments, the standard error message "You told me to fetch and merge stuff but there is nothing to merge! You might want to fix your config" is given. While the error may be technically correct, fixing the config would not help, as "git pull --tags" itself tells "git fetch" not to use the configured refspecs. This commit makes "git pull --tags" to issue a different error message to avoid confusion. This is merely an interim solution. In the longer term, it would be a better approach to change the semantics of --tags option to make "git fetch" and "git pull" to: (1) behave as if no --tags was given (so an explicit refspec on the command line overrides configured ones, or no explicit refspecs on the command line takes configured ones); but (2) no auto-following of tags is made even when using configured refspecs; and (3) fetch all tags as not-for-merge entries". Then we would not need to have this separate error message, as the ordinary merge will happen even with the --tags option. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Teach 'git pull' about --rebase

2007-11-29T01:32:23Z

When calling 'git pull' with the '--rebase' option, it performs a fetch + rebase instead of a fetch + merge. This behavior is more desirable than fetch + pull when a topic branch is ready to be submitted and needs to be update. fetch + rebase might also be considered a better workflow with shared repositories in any case, or for contributors to a centrally managed repository, such as WINE's. As a convenience, you can set the default behavior for a branch by defining the config variable branch..rebase, which is interpreted as a bool. This setting can be overridden on the command line by --rebase and --no-rebase. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

scripts: Add placeholders for OPTIONS_SPEC

2007-11-06T09:50:02Z

--text follows this line-- These commands currently lack OPTIONS_SPEC; allow people to easily list with "git grep 'OPTIONS_SPEC=$'" what they can help improving. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Teach git-pull about --[no-]ff, --no-squash and --commit

2007-10-29T20:32:52Z

These options are supported by git-merge, but git-pull didn't know about them. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Supplant the "while case ... break ;; esac" idiom

2007-09-23T23:12:00Z

A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac and similar. I consider breaking out of the condition instead of the body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance. It happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been replaced by a straight condition using "test". "case" has the advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test" is not a builtin. Since none of them is likely to run the git scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change. A few loops have had their termination condition expressed differently.

Add a configuration option to control diffstat after merge

2007-05-25T04:37:08Z

The diffstat can be controlled either with command-line options (--summary|--no-summary) or with merge.diffstat. The default is left as it was: diffstat is active by default. Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-pull: disallow implicit merging to detached HEAD

2007-01-15T23:37:22Z

Instead, we complain to the user and suggest that they explicitly specify the remote and branch. We depend on the exit status of git-symbolic-ref, so let's go ahead and document that. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
