Junio C Hamano	8098a178b2	Add git-symbolic-ref This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read and create "symbolic refs". By default it uses a symbolic link to represent ".git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master", but it can be compiled to use the textfile symbolic ref. The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah .git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so that they can deal with either implementation.

Junio C Hamano	6b5ee137e5	Diff clean-up. This is a long overdue clean-up to the code for parsing and passing diff options. It also tightens some constness issues. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
Junio C Hamano	a9ab586a5d	Retire support for old environment variables. We have deprecated the old environment variable names for quite a while and now it's time to remove them. Gone are: SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES AUTHOR_DATE AUTHOR_EMAIL AUTHOR_NAME COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
Linus Torvalds	5f5608bcec	[PATCH] Make .git directory validation code test HEAD Inspired by a report by Kalle Valo, this changes git-sh-setup-script and the "setup_git_directory()" function to test that $GIT_DIR/HEAD is a symlink, since a number of core git features depend on that these days. We used to allow a regular file there, but git-fsck-cache has been complaining about that for a while, and anything that uses branches depends on the HEAD file being a symlink, so let's just encode that as a fundamental requirement. Before, a non-symlink HEAD file would appear to work, but have subtle bugs like not having the HEAD show up as a valid reference (because it wasn't under "refs"). Now, we will complain loudly, and the user can fix it up trivially instead of getting strange behaviour. This also removes the tests for "$GIT_DIR" and "$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY" being directories, since the other tests will implicitly test for that anyway (ie the tests for HEAD, refs and 00 would fail).

Linus Torvalds	828cc617c1	[PATCH] Export relative path handling "prefix_path()" function Not all programs necessarily have a pathspec array of pathnames, some of them (like git-update-cache) want to do things one file at a time. So export the single-path interface too. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	f332726eaa	[PATCH] Improve handling of "." and ".." in git-diff-* This fixes up usage of ".." (without an ending slash) and "." (with or without the ending slash) in the git diff family. It also fixes pathspec matching for the case of an empty pathspec, since a "." in the top-level directory (or enough ".." under subdirectories) will result in an empty pathspec. We used to not match it against anything, but it should in fact match everything. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	a579defe5a	[PATCH] Fix test failure due to overly strict .git directory tests We may not actually have a valid HEAD at all times, so relax the validity tests for a .git subdirectory accordingly.

Linus Torvalds	d288a70030	[PATCH] Make "git diff" work inside relative subdirectories We always show the diff as an absolute path, but pathnames to diff are taken relative to the current working directory (and if no pathnames are given, the default ends up being all of the current working directory). Note that "../xyz" also works, so you can do cd linux/drivers/char git diff ../block and it will generate a diff of the linux/drivers/block changes.
