Junio C Hamano	d19938ab60	Rename environment variables. H. Peter Anvin mentioned that using SHA1_whatever as an environment variable name is not nice and we should instead use names starting with "GIT_" prefix to avoid conflicts. Here is what this patch does: * Renames the following environment variables: New name Old Name GIT_AUTHOR_DATE AUTHOR_DATE GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL AUTHOR_EMAIL GIT_AUTHOR_NAME AUTHOR_NAME GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL GIT_COMMITTER_NAME COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY * Introduces a compatibility macro, gitenv(), which does an getenv() and if it fails calls gitenv_bc(), which in turn picks up the value from old name while giving a warning about using an old name. * Changes all users of the environment variable to fetch environment variable with the new name using gitenv(). * Updates the documentation and scripts shipped with Linus GIT distribution. The transition plan is as follows: * We will keep the backward compatibility list used by gitenv() for now, so the current scripts and user environments continue to work as before. The users will get warnings when they have old name but not new name in their environment to the stderr. * The Porcelain layers should start using new names. However, just in case it ends up calling old Plumbing layer implementation, they should also export old names, taking values from the corresponding new names, during the transition period. * After a transition period, we would drop the compatibility support and drop gitenv(). Revert the callers to directly call getenv() but keep using the new names. The last part is probably optional and the transition duration needs to be set to a reasonable value.

Linus Torvalds	3c249c9506	Add "get_sha1()" helper function. This allows the programs to use various simplified versions of the SHA1 names, eg just say "HEAD" for the SHA1 pointed to by the .git/HEAD file etc. For example, this commit has been done with git-commit-tree $(git-write-tree) -p HEAD instead of the traditional "$(cat .git/HEAD)" syntax.	20 years ago
Edgar Toernig	ecee9d9e79	[PATCH] Do date parsing by hand... ...since everything out there is either strange (libc mktime has issues with timezones) or introduces unnecessary dependencies for people (libcurl). This goes back to the old date parsing, but moves it out into a file of its own, and does the "struct tm" to "seconds since epoch" handling by hand. I grepped through the tz-database and it seems there's one "country" left that has non-60-minute DST: Lord Howe Island. All others dropped that before 1970.	20 years ago
tony.luck@intel.com	d167f147dc	[PATCH] Fix AUTHOR_DATE timezone confusion This switches git-commit-tree to using curl_getdate() for the AUTHOR_DATE, and thus fixes the problem with "mktime()" parsing dates in the local timezone. It also ends up being more permissive about the format of the date. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>	20 years ago
Christopher Li	812666c8e6	[PATCH] introduce xmalloc and xrealloc Introduce xmalloc and xrealloc to die gracefully with a descriptive message when out of memory, rather than taking a SIGSEGV.

Linus Torvalds	a44c9a5e2e	Simplify "write_sha1_file()" interfaces The write function now adds the header to the file by itself, so there is no reason to duplicate it among all the users any more.	20 years ago
Junio C Hamano	c5bac17ad2	[PATCH] Usage-string fixes. Usage string fixes to make maintenance easier (only one instance of a string to update not multiple copies). I've spotted and corrected inconsistent usage text in diff-tree while doing this. Also diff-cache and read-tree usage text have been corrected to match their up-to-date features. Earlier, neither "--cached" form of diff-cache nor "-m single-merge" form of read-tree were described.

Linus Torvalds	b96afa59eb	Make us be better at guessing a good hostname for the email. It's still just a guess, and the result is not a real email address anyway. If you want to, you can use COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL to correct for any git guesses.	20 years ago
Greg KH	b70070f020	[PATCH] provide better committer information to commit-tree.c Here's a small patch to commit-tree.c that does two things: - allows the committer email address and name to be overridden by environment variables (if you don't like the environment variable names I've used (COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME, COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL), feel free to change them.) - provide the proper domainname to the author/committer email address (otherwise, my address was only showing up as from the hostname.) This allows people to set sane values for the commit names and email addresses, preventing odd, private hostnames and domains from being exposed to the world.

Linus Torvalds	5e5128ed1c	Remove extraneous ',' ';' and '.' characters from the full name gecos field. Apparently some distributions tend to have space for phone numbers etc there.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	d0d7cbe730	Make "commit-tree" check the input objects more carefully. Let's not allow trivially bogus commits. I did one for the first trial of the first kernel git merge. fsck found it ok, but..	20 years ago
David Woodhouse	27de946d0e	[PATCH] Simplify date handling and make it more reliable This make all dates be stores as seconds since UTC epoch, with the author's or committer's timezone as auxiliary data so that dates can be pretty-printed in the original timezone later if anyone cares. I left the date parsing in rev-tree.c for backward compatibility but it can be dropped when we change to base64 :) commit-tree now eats RFC2822 dates as AUTHOR_DATE because that's what you're going to want to feed it. Yes, glibc sucks and strptime is a pile of crap. We have to parse it ourselves.	20 years ago

Petr Baudis	2de381f919	[PATCH] Consolidate the error handling Now there is error() for "library" errors and die() for fatal "application" errors. usage() is now used strictly only for usage errors. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz>	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	bf16c71e2f	Fix up commit-tree/diff-tree user interface issues. No, this doesn't make them easy to use, but makes diff-tree use the "-r" flag for "recursive" (not "-R") and makes commit-tree use AUTHOR_xxx environment flags (not COMMITTER_xxx) to match what it actually does.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	d6d3f9d012	This implements the new "recursive tree" write-tree. It's got some debugging printouts etc still in it, but testing on the kernel seems to show that it does indeed fix the issue with huge tree files for each commit.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	8bc9a0c769	Add copyright notices. The tool interface sucks (especially "committing" information, which is just me doing everything by hand from the command line), but I think this is in theory actually a viable way of describing the world. So copyright it.	20 years ago
