branch: add flags and config to inherit tracking

2021-12-21T06:40:21Z

It can be helpful when creating a new branch to use the existing tracking configuration from the branch point. However, there is currently not a method to automatically do so. Teach git-{branch,checkout,switch} an "inherit" argument to the "--track" option. When this is set, creating a new branch will cause the tracking configuration to default to the configuration of the branch point, if set. For example, if branch "main" tracks "origin/main", and we run `git checkout --track=inherit -b feature main`, then branch "feature" will track "origin/main". Thus, `git status` will show us how far ahead/behind we are from origin, and `git pull` will pull from origin. This is particularly useful when creating branches across many submodules, such as with `git submodule foreach ...` (or if running with a patch such as [1], which we use at $job), as it avoids having to manually set tracking info for each submodule. Since we've added an argument to "--track", also add "--track=direct" as another way to explicitly get the original "--track" behavior ("--track" without an argument still works as well). Finally, teach branch.autoSetupMerge a new "inherit" option. When this is set, "--track=inherit" becomes the default behavior.

hash: provide per-algorithm null OIDs

2021-04-27T07:31:39Z

Up until recently, object IDs did not have an algorithm member, only a hash. Consequently, it was possible to share one null (all-zeros) object ID among all hash algorithms. Now that we're going to be handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field. Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo. Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to use the null_oid constant.

assert PARSE_OPT_NONEG in parse-options callbacks

2020-09-30T19:53:47Z

In the spirit of 517fe807d6 (assert NOARG/NONEG behavior of parse-options callbacks, 2018-11-05), let's cover some parse-options callbacks which expect to be used with PARSE_OPT_NONEG but don't explicitly assert that this is the case. These callbacks are all used correctly in the current code, but this will help document their expectations and future-proof the code. As a bonus, it also silences -Wunused-parameters (these were added since the initial sweep of 517fe807d6, and we can't yet turn on -Wunused-parameters to remind people because it has too many existing false positives).

strvec: convert remaining callers away from argv_array name

2020-07-28T22:02:18Z

We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once, or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits. Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different names is OK). This patch converts all of the remaining files, as the resulting diff is reasonably sized. The conversion was done purely mechanically with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe ' s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g; s/argv_array/strvec/g; ' We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately.

strvec: rename files from argv-array to strvec

2020-07-28T22:02:17Z

This requires updating #include lines across the code-base, but that's all fairly mechanical, and was done with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe 's/argv-array.h/strvec.h/' Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

oid_array: rename source file from sha1-array

2020-03-30T17:59:08Z

We renamed the actual data structure in 910650d2f8 (Rename sha1_array to oid_array, 2017-03-31), but the file is still called sha1-array. Besides being slightly confusing, it makes it more annoying to grep for leftover occurrences of "sha1" in various files, because the header is included in so many places. Let's complete the transition by renaming the source and header files (and fixing up a few comment references). I kept the "-" in the name, as that seems to be our style; cf. fc1395f4a4 (sha1_file.c: rename to use dash in file name, 2018-04-10). We also have oidmap.h and oidset.h without any punctuation, but those are "struct oidmap" and "struct oidset" in the code. We _could_ make this "oidarray" to match, but somehow it looks uglier to me because of the length of "array" (plus it would be a very invasive patch for little gain).

parse-options: simplify parse_options_dup()

2020-02-10T17:45:49Z

Simplify parse_options_dup() by making it a trivial wrapper of parse_options_concat() by making use of the facts that the latter duplicates its input as well and that appending an empty set is a no-op. Signed-off-by: René Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

parse-options: const parse_options_concat() parameters

2020-02-10T17:44:58Z

Document the fact that the function doesn't modify the two option arrays passed to it by adding the keyword const to each parameter. Signed-off-by: René Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

parse-options: factor out parse_options_count()

2020-02-10T17:43:25Z

Add a helper function to count the number of options (excluding the final OPT_END()) and use it to simplify parse_options_dup() and parse_options_concat(). Signed-off-by: René Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

parse-options: use COPY_ARRAY in parse_options_concat()

2020-02-10T17:42:43Z

Use COPY_ARRAY to copy whole arrays instead of iterating through the elements. That's shorter, simpler and bit more efficient. Signed-off-by: René Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
