Junio C Hamano	f4204ab9f6	Store peeled refs in packed-refs (take 2). This fixes the previous implementation which failed to optimize repositories with tons of lightweight tags. The updated packed-refs format begins with "# packed-refs with:" line that lists the kind of extended data the file records. Currently, there is only one such extension defined, "peeled". This stores the "peeled tag" on a line that immediately follows a line for a tag object itself in the format "^<sha-1>". The header line itself and any extended data are ignored by older implementation, so packed-refs file generated with this version can still be used by older git. packed-refs made by older git can of course be used with this version.

Junio C Hamano	cf0adba788	Store peeled refs in packed-refs file. This would speed up "show-ref -d" in a repository with mostly packed tags. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	18 years ago
Lars Hjemli	97f7a7bd0d	Fix show-ref usagestring This describes the abbreviation possibilities for git-show-ref Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	18 years ago
Junio C Hamano	2eaf22242f	show-ref --hash=len, --abbrev=len, and --abbrev This teaches show-ref to abbreviate the object name. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	18 years ago
Christian Couder	9c13359aaf	Fix show-ref usage for --dereference. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	18 years ago
Christian Couder	c40abef89f	Add [-s\|--hash] option to Linus' show-ref. With this option only the sha1 hash of the ref should be printed. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	18 years ago
Linus Torvalds	358ddb62cf	Add "git show-ref" builtin command It's kind of like "git peek-remote", but works only locally (and thus avoids the whole overhead of git_connect()) and has some extra verification features. For example, it allows you to filter the results, and to choose whether you want the tag dereferencing or not. You can also use it to just test whether a particular ref exists. For example: git show-ref master will show all references called "master", whether tags or heads or anything else, and regardless of how deep in the reference naming hierarchy they are (so it would show "refs/heads/master" but also "refs/remote/other-repo/master"). When using the "--verify" flag, the command requires an exact ref path: git show-ref --verify refs/heads/master will only match the exact branch called "master". If nothing matches, show-ref will return an error code of 1, and in the case of verification, it will show an error message. For scripting, you can ask it to be quiet with the "--quiet" flag, which allows you to do things like git-show-ref --quiet --verify -- "refs/heads/$headname" \|\| echo "$headname is not a valid branch" to check whether a particular branch exists or not (notice how we don't actually want to show any results, and we want to use the full refname for it in order to not trigger the problem with ambiguous partial matches). To show only tags, or only proper branch heads, use "--tags" and/or "--heads" respectively (using both means that it shows tags _and_ heads, but not other random references under the refs/ subdirectory). To do automatic tag object dereferencing, use the "-d" or "--dereference" flag, so you can do git show-ref --tags --dereference to get a listing of all tags together with what they dereference.
