Matthieu Moy	9609dc9ddc	(short) documentation for the testgit remote helper While it's not a command meant to be used by actual users (hence, not mentionned in git(1)), this command is a very precious help for remote-helpers authors. The best place for such technical doc is the source code, but users may not find it without a link in a manpage.

Sverre Rabbelier	a515ebe9f1	transport-helper: implement marks location as capability Now that the gitdir location is exported as an environment variable this can be implemented elegantly without requiring any explicit flushes nor an ad-hoc exchange of values.

Sverre Rabbelier	9504bc9d5a	transport-helper: change import semantics Currently the helper must somehow guess how many import statements to read before it starts outputting its fast-export stream. This is because the remote helper infrastructure runs fast-import only once, so the helper is forced to output one stream for all import commands it will receive. The only reason this worked in the past was because only one ref was imported at a time. Change the semantics of the import statement such that it matches that of the push statement. That is, the import statement is followed by a series of import statements that are terminated by a '\n'.

Sverre Rabbelier	1f25c50419	transport-helper: use the new done feature where possible In other words, use fast-export --use-done-feature to add a 'done' command at the end of streams passed to remote helpers' "import" commands, and teach the remote helpers implementing "export" to use the 'done' command in turn when producing their streams. The trailing \n in the protocol signals the helper that the connection is about to close, allowing it to do whatever cleanup neccesary. Previously, the connection would already be closed by the time the trailing \n was to be written. Now that the remote-helper protocol uses the new done command in its fast-import streams, this is no longer the case and we can safely write the trailing \n.

Sverre Rabbelier	0fb56ce716	git-remote-testgit: only push for non-local repositories Trying to push for local repositories will fail since there is no local checkout in .git/info/... to push from as that is only used for non-local repositories (local repositories are pushed to directly). This went unnoticed because the transport helper infrastructure does not check the return value of the helper.

Dmitry Ivankov	e173587252	remote-helpers: export GIT_DIR variable to helpers The gitdir capability is recognized by git and can be used to tell the helper where the .git directory is. But it is not mentioned in the documentation and considered worse than if gitdir was passed via GIT_DIR environment variable. Remove support for the gitdir capability and export GIT_DIR instead. Teach testgit to use env instead of the now-removed gitdir command.

Jeff King	4e51ba238f	git-remote-testgit: import non-HEAD refs Upon receiving an "import" command, the testgit remote helper would ignore the ref asked for by git and generate a fast-export stream based on HEAD. Instead, we should actually give git the ref it asked for. This requires adding a new parameter to the export_repo method in the remote-helpers python library, which may be used by code outside of git.git. We use a default parameter so that callers without the new parameter will get the same behavior as before.

Brandon Casey	23b093ee08	Remove python 2.5'isms The following python 2.5 features were worked around: * the sha module is used as a fallback when the hashlib module is not available * the 'any' built-in method was replaced with a 'for' loop * a conditional expression was replaced with an 'if' statement * the subprocess.check_call method was replaced by a call to subprocess.Popen followed by a call to subprocess.wait with a check of its return status These changes allow the python infrastructure to be used with python 2.4 which is distributed with RedHat's RHEL 5, for example. t5800 was updated to check for python >= 2.4 to reflect these changes.

Brian Gernhardt	f733f6a0c6	Makefile: Simplify handling of python scripts The sed script intended to add a standard opening to python scripts was non-compatible and overly complex. Simplifying it down to a set of one-liners removes the compatibility issues of newlines. Moving the environment alterations from the Makefile to the python scripts makes also makes the scripts easier to run in-place. Specifically, the new sed script: - Alters the shebang line to use the configured Python. - Alters any os.getenv("GITPYTHONLIB") calls to use @@INSTLIBDIR@@ as the default. This will replace any existing default or add a default if none is provided. - Replaces the @@INSTLIBDIR@@ placeholder with the directory git installs its python libraries to. The last two steps could be combined into a single step, but is left separate in case someone has another need for @@INSTLIBDIR@@ in their script.

Sverre Rabbelier	7aeaa2fc0a	remote-helpers: add testgit helper Currently the remote helper infrastructure is only used by the curl helper, which does not give a good impression of how remote helpers can be used to interact with foreign repositories. Since implementing such a helper is non-trivial it would be good to have at least one easy-to-follow example demonstrating how to implement a helper that interacts with a foreign vcs using fast-import/fast-export. The testgit helper can be used to interact with remote git repositories by prefixing the url with "testgit::". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	15 years ago
