From ee831f7ddfc40e9144208c93e24d20ff0ad69194 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerrit Pape Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 07:43:00 +0000 Subject: git-bisect.sh: don't accidentally override existing branch "bisect" If a branch named "bisect" or "new-bisect" already was created in the repo by other means than git bisect, doing a git bisect used to override the branch without a warning. Now if the branch "bisect" or "new-bisect" already exists, and it was not created by git bisect itself, git bisect start fails with an appropriate error message. Additionally, if checking out a new bisect state fails due to a merge problem, git bisect cleans up the temporary branch "new-bisect". The accidental override has been noticed by Andres Salomon, reported through http://bugs.debian.org/478647 Signed-off-by: Gerrit Pape Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- git-bisect.sh | 19 ++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'git-bisect.sh') diff --git a/git-bisect.sh b/git-bisect.sh index 8e57e9a75d..54bfd71dad 100755 --- a/git-bisect.sh +++ b/git-bisect.sh @@ -65,14 +65,19 @@ bisect_start() { head=$(GIT_DIR="$GIT_DIR" git symbolic-ref -q HEAD) || head=$(GIT_DIR="$GIT_DIR" git rev-parse --verify HEAD) || die "Bad HEAD - I need a HEAD" + # + # Check that we either already have BISECT_START, or that the + # branches bisect, new-bisect don't exist, to not override them. + # + test -s "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_START" || + if git show-ref --verify -q refs/heads/bisect || + git show-ref --verify -q refs/heads/new-bisect; then + die 'The branches "bisect" and "new-bisect" must not exist.' + fi start_head='' case "$head" in refs/heads/bisect) - if [ -s "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_START" ]; then - branch=`cat "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_START"` - else - branch=master - fi + branch=`cat "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_START"` git checkout $branch || exit ;; refs/heads/*|$_x40) @@ -324,8 +329,8 @@ bisect_next() { exit_if_skipped_commits "$bisect_rev" echo "Bisecting: $bisect_nr revisions left to test after this" - git branch -f new-bisect "$bisect_rev" - git checkout -q new-bisect || exit + git branch -D new-bisect 2> /dev/null + git checkout -q -b new-bisect "$bisect_rev" || exit git branch -M new-bisect bisect git show-branch "$bisect_rev" } -- cgit v1.3-5-g9baa
