Junio C Hamano	7612a1efdb	git-rm: honor -n flag. Even when invoked with -n flag, git-rm removed the matching paths anyway. Also includes the missing check spotted by SungHyun Nam, which caused it to segfault. Now we refuse to run without any paths. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
Junio C Hamano	021b6e4549	Make index file locking code reusable to others. The framework to create lockfiles that are removed at exit is first used to reliably write the index file, but it is applicable to other things, so stop calling it "cache_file". This also rewords a few remaining error message that called the index file "cache file". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago

Linus Torvalds	d9b814cc97	Add builtin "git rm" command This changes semantics very subtly, because it adds a new atomicity guarantee. In particular, if you "git rm" several files, it will now do all or nothing. The old shell-script really looped over the removed files one by one, and would basically randomly fail in the middle if "-f" was used and one of the files didn't exist in the working directory. This C builtin one will not re-write the index after each remove, but instead remove all files at once. However, that means that if "-f" is used (to also force removal of the file from the working directory), and some files have already been removed from the workspace, it won't stop in the middle in some half-way state like the old one did. So what happens is that if the _first_ file fails to be removed with "-f", we abort the whole "git rm". But once we've started removing, we don't leave anything half done. If some of the other files don't exist, we'll just ignore errors of removal from the working tree. This is only an issue with "-f", of course. I think the new behaviour is strictly an improvement, but perhaps more importantly, it is _different_. As a special case, the semantics are identical for the single-file case (which is the only one our test-suite seems to test). The other question is what to do with leading directories. The old "git rm" script didn't do anything, which is somewhat inconsistent. This one will actually clean up directories that have become empty as a result of removing the last file, but maybe we want to have a flag to decide the behaviour?
