This reads data in the format a (non recursive) ls-tree outputs
and writes a tree object to the object database. The created
tree object name is output to the standard output.
For convenience, the input data does not need to be sorted; the
command sorts the input lines internally.

* jc/ident:
Keep Porcelainish from failing by broken ident after making changes.
Delay "empty ident" errors until they really matter.
Make "empty ident" error message a bit more helpful.
It said "after fixing up, commit the result using -F .msg", but
it was not clear for new people how "fix up" should be done.
Hint "git-update-index <path>".
We could recommend "git commit -a -F .msg" instead, but I am
hesitant to give that suggestion in the blind -- you could do a
cherry-pick, revert or a merge in general in a dirty working
tree as long as local modifications do not overlap with the
merge, but using "commit -a" would include them in the result.

None of these were really show-stoppers (or even triggered)
on most of the trees I've tracked.
* Node change prevention for identically named nodes. This is
a limitation of SVN, but we find the error and exit before
it's passed to SVN so we don't dirty our working tree when our
commit fails. git-svn will exit with an error code 1 if any
of the following conditions are found:
1. a directory is removed and a file of the same name of the
removed directory is created
1a. a file has its parent directory removed and the file is
takes the name of the removed parent directory::
baz/zzz => baz
2. a file is removed and a directory of the same name of the
removed file is created.
2a. a file is moved into a deeper directory that shares the
previous name of the file::
dir/$file => dir/file/$file
Since SVN cannot handle these cases, the user will have to
manually split the commit into several parts.
* --rmdir now handles nested/deep removals. If dir/a/b/c/d/e/file
is removed, and everything else is in the dir/ hierarchy is
otherwise empty, then dir/ will be deleted when file is deleted
from svn and --rmdir specified.
* Always assert that we have written the tree we want to write
on commits. This helped me find several bugs in the symlink
handling code (which as been fixed).
* Several symlink handling fixes. We now refuse to set
permissions on symlinks. We also always unlink a file
if we're going to overwrite it.
* Apply changes in a pre-determined order, so we always have
rename from locations handy before we delete them.

it over to git-svn because I was afraid somebody could commit an svn

the <n> lines column in the header. So, no more XML :)

"empty ident not allowed" error makes commit-tree fail, so we
are already safer in that we would not end up with commit
objects that have bogus names on the author or committer fields.
However, before commit-tree is called there are already changes
made to the index file and the working tree. The operation can
be resumed after fixing the environment problem, but when this
triggers to a newcomer with unusable gecos, the first question
becomes "what did I lose and how would I recover".
This patch modifies some Porcelainish commands to verify
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT as soon as we know we are going to make some
commits before doing much damage to prevent confusion.

Previous one warned people upfront to encourage fixing their
environment early, but some people just use repositories and git
tools read-only without making any changes, and in such a case
there is not much point insisting on them having a usable ident.
This round attempts to move the error until either "git-var"
asks for the ident explicitly or "commit-tree" wants to use it.

Fixed a couple of bugs in recovering from broken connections:
The _line() method now returns undef correctly when the connection
is broken instead of falling off the function and returning garbage.
Retries are now reported to stderr and the eventual partially
downloaded file is discarded instead of being appended to.
The "Server gone away" test has been removed, because it was
reachable only if the garbage return bug bit.

This fix only applies to the accurate (default) strategy the moment.

This is an Emacs interface for git. The user interface is modeled on
pcl-cvs. It has been developed on Emacs 21 and will probably need some
tweaking to work on XEmacs.
The basic command is 'M-x git-status' which displays a buffer listing
modified files in the selected project tree. In that buffer the
following features are supported:
- add/remove files
- list unknown files
- commit marked files
- manage .gitignore
- commit merges based on MERGE_HEAD
- revert files to the HEAD version
- resolve conflicts with smerge or ediff
- diff files against HEAD/base/mine/other or combined diff
- get a log of the revisions for specified files
There are plenty of unimplemented features too, see the TODO list at
the top of the file...

While it was a good idea to prevent people from using bogus

When git-reset --hard is used and a subdirectory becomes
empty (as it contains no tracked files in the target tree)
the empty subdirectory should be removed. This matches
the behavior of git-checkout-index and git-read-tree -m
which would not have created the subdirectory or would
have deleted it when updating the working directory.
Subdirectories which are not empty will be left behind.
This may happen if the subdirectory still contains object
files from the user's build process (for example).
[jc: simplified the logic a bit, while keeping the test script.]
We run svn log against a URL without a working copy for the first fetch,
so we end up a log that's sorted from highest to lowest. That's bad, we
always want lowest to highest. Just default to --revision 0:HEAD now if
-r isn't specified for the first fetch.
Also sort the revisions after we get them just in case somebody
accidentally reverses the argument to --revision for whatever reason.

Gaah. It was trivial, and it happened to work fine for my test-case, but
when I started looking at not doing that extremely aggressive subdirectory
merging, that showed a few other issues...
So in case people want to try, here's a third patch. Oh, and it's against
my _original_ path, not incremental to the middle one (ie both patches two
and three are against patch #1, it's not a nice series).
Now I'm really done, and won't be sending out any more patches today.

Actually, I got interested in seeing how hard this is, and wrote a simple
first cut at doing a tree-optimized merger.
Let me shout a bit first:
THIS IS WORKING CODE, BUT BE CAREFUL: IT'S A TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION
RATHER THAN THE FINAL PRODUCT!
With that out of the way, let me descibe what this does (and then describe
the missing parts).
This is basically a three-way merge that works entirely on the "tree"
level, rather than on the index. A lot of the _concepts_ are the same,
though, and if you're familiar with the results of an index merge, some of
the output will make more sense.
You give it three trees: the base tree (tree 0), and the two branches to
be merged (tree 1 and tree 2 respectively). It will then walk these three
trees, and resolve them as it goes along.
The interesting part is:
- it can resolve whole sub-directories in one go, without actually even
looking recursively at them. A whole subdirectory will resolve the same
way as any individual files will (although that may need some
modification, see later).
- if it has a "content conflict", for subdirectories that means "try to
do a recursive tree merge", while for non-subdirectories it's just a
content conflict and we'll output the stage 1/2/3 information.
- a successful merge will output a single stage 0 ("merged") entry,
potentially for a whole subdirectory.
- it outputs all the resolve information on stdout, so something like the
recursive resolver can pretty easily parse it all.
Now, the caveats:
- we probably need to be more careful about subdirectory resolves. The
trivial case (both branches have the exact same subdirectory) is a
trivial resolve, but the other cases ("branch1 matches base, branch2 is
different" probably can't be silently just resolved to the "branch2"
subdirectory state, since it might involve renames into - or out of -
that subdirectory)
- we do not track the current index file at all, so this does not do the
"check that index matches branch1" logic that the three-way merge in
git-read-tree does. The theory is that we'd do a full three-way merge
(ignoring the index and working directory), and then to update the
working tree, we'd do a two-way "git-read-tree branch1->result"
- I didn't actually make it do all the trivial resolve cases that
git-read-tree does. It's a technology demonstration.
Finally (a more serious caveat):
- doing things through stdout may end up being so expensive that we'd
need to do something else. In particular, it's likely that I should
not actually output the "merge results", but instead output a "merge
results as they _differ_ from branch1"
However, I think this patch is already interesting enough that people who
are interested in merging trees might want to look at it. Please keep in
mind that tech _demo_ part, and in particular, keep in mind the final
"serious caveat" part.
In many ways, the really _interesting_ part of a merge is not the result,
but how it _changes_ the branch we're merging into. That's particularly
important as it should hopefully also mean that the output size for any
reasonable case is minimal (and tracks what we actually need to do to the
current state to create the final result).
The code very much is organized so that doing the result as a "diff
against branch1" should be quite easy/possible. I was actually going to do
it, but I decided that it probably makes the output harder to read. I
dunno.
Anyway, let's think about this kind of approach.. Note how the code itself
is actually quite small and short, although it's prbably pretty "dense".
As an interesting test-case, I'd suggest this merge in the kernel:
git-merge-tree $(git-merge-base 4cbf876 7d2babc) 4cbf876 7d2babc
which resolves beautifully (there are no actual file-level conflicts), and
you can look at the output of that command to start thinking about what
it does.
The interesting part (perhaps) is that timing that command for me shows
that it takes all of 0.004 seconds.. (the git-merge-base thing takes
considerably more ;)
The point is, we _can_ do the actual merge part really really quickly.
Linus
PS. Final note: when I say that it is "WORKING CODE", that is obviously by
my standards. IOW, I tested it once and it gave reasonable results - so it
must be perfect.
Whether it works for anybody else, or indeed for any other test-case, is
not my problem ;)
