Merge branch 'jc/detached-head'

2007-01-12T00:47:34Z

* jc/detached-head: git-checkout: handle local changes sanely when detaching HEAD git-checkout: safety check for detached HEAD checks existing refs git-checkout: fix branch name output from the command git-checkout: safety when coming back from the detached HEAD state. git-checkout: rewording comments regarding detached HEAD. git-checkout: do not warn detaching HEAD when it is already detached. Detached HEAD (experimental) git-branch: show detached HEAD git-status: show detached HEAD

short i/o: fix calls to read to use xread or read_in_full

2007-01-08T23:44:47Z

We have a number of badly checked read() calls. Often we are expecting read() to read exactly the size we requested or fail, this fails to handle interrupts or short reads. Add a read_in_full() providing those semantics. Otherwise we at a minimum need to check for EINTR and EAGAIN, where this is appropriate use xread().

Detached HEAD (experimental)

2007-01-08T11:02:11Z

This allows "git checkout v1.4.3" to dissociate the HEAD of repository from any branch. After this point, "git branch" starts reporting that you are not on any branch. You can go back to an existing branch by saying "git checkout master", for example. This is still experimental. While I think it makes sense to allow commits on top of detached HEAD, it is rather dangerous unless you are careful in the current form. Next "git checkout master" will obviously lose what you have done, so we might want to require "git checkout -f" out of a detached HEAD if we find that the HEAD commit is not an ancestor of any other branches. There is no such safety valve implemented right now. On the other hand, the reason the user did not start the ad-hoc work on a new branch with "git checkout -b" was probably because the work was of a throw-away nature, so the convenience of not having that safety valve might be even better. The user, after accumulating some commits on top of a detached HEAD, can always create a new branch with "git checkout -b" not to lose useful work done while the HEAD was detached. We'll see.

simplify inclusion of system header files.

2006-12-20T17:51:35Z

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include system header files. (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and xdelta code are exempt from the following rules; (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h, builtin.h, pkt-line.h); (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h" need not be included in individual C source files. (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem specific header files (e.g. expat.h). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

adjust_shared_perm: chmod() only when needed.

2006-11-06T02:36:36Z

When widening permission for files and directories in a 'shared' repository for a user with inappropriate umask() setting for shared work, make sure we call chmod() only when we actually need to. The primary idea owes credit to Johannes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Allow multiple "git_path()" uses

2006-09-16T09:21:11Z

This allows you to maintain a few filesystem pathnames concurrently, by simply replacing the single static "pathname" buffer with a LRU of four buffers. We did exactly the same thing with sha1_to_hex(), for pretty much exactly the same reason. Sometimes you want to use two pathnames, and while it's easy enough to xstrdup() them, why not just do the LU buffer thing. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Rename safe_strncpy() to strlcpy().

2006-06-25T06:16:25Z

This cleans up the use of safe_strncpy() even more. Since it has the same semantics as strlcpy() use this name instead. Also move the definition from inside path.c to its own file compat/strlcpy.c, and use it conditionally at compile time, since some platforms already has strlcpy(). It's included in the same way as compat/setenv.c. Signed-off-by: Peter Eriksen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

shared repository: optionally allow reading to "others".

2006-06-10T08:31:31Z

This enhances core.sharedrepository to have additionally specify that read and exec permissions to be given to others as well. It is useful when serving a repository via gitweb and git-daemon that runs as a user outside the project group. The configuration item can take the following values: [core] sharedrepository ; the same as "group" sharedrepository = true ; ditto sharedrepository = 1 ; ditto sharedrepository = group ; allow rwx to group sharedrepository = all ; allow rwx to group, allow rx to other sharedrepository = umask ; not shared - use umask It also extends "git init-db" to take "--shared=all" and friends from the command line.
