2015-02-17Merge branch 'ak/add-i-empty-candidates'Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it" interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the user could have made was to choose nothing. * ak/add-i-empty-candidates: add -i: return from list_and_choose if there is no candidate
2015-01-22add -i: return from list_and_choose if there is no candidateAlexander Kuleshov1-0/+5
The list_and_choose() helper is given a prompt and a list, asks the user to make selection from the list, and then returns a list of items chosen. Even when it is given an empty list as the original candidate set to choose from, it gave a prompt to the user, who can only say "I am done choosing". Return an empty result when the input is an empty list without bothering the user. The existing caller must already have a logic to say "Nothing to do" or an equivalent when the returned list is empty (i.e. the user chose to select nothing) if it is necessary, so no change to the callers is necessary. This fixes the case where "add untracked" is asked in "git add -i" and there is no untracked files in the working tree. We used to give an empty list of files to choose from with a prompt, but with this change, we no longer do.

2014-12-15add--interactive: leave main loop on read errorJeff King1-0/+1
The main hunk loop for add--interactive will loop if it does not get a known input. This is a good thing if the user typed some invalid input. However, if we have an uncorrectable read error, we'll end up looping infinitely. We can fix this by noticing read errors (i.e., <STDIN> returns undef) and breaking out of the loop. One easy way to trigger this is if you have an editor that does not take over the terminal (e.g., one that spawns a window in an existing process and waits), start the editor with the hunk-edit command, and hit ^C to send SIGINT. The editor process dies due to SIGINT, but the perl add--interactive process does not (perl suspends SIGINT for the duration of our system() call). We return to the main loop, but further reads from stdin don't work. The SIGINT _also_ killed our parent git process, which orphans our process group, meaning that further reads from the terminal will always fail. We loop infinitely, getting EIO on each read. Note that there are several other spots where we read from stdin, too. However, in each of those cases, we do something sane when the read returns undef (breaking out of the loop, taking the input as "no", etc). They don't need similar treatment.

2013-09-04add--interactive: fix external command invocation on WindowsJohannes Sixt1-1/+1
Back in 21e9757e (Hack git-add--interactive to make it work with ActiveState Perl, 2007-08-01), the invocation of external commands was changed to use qx{} on Windows. The rationale was that the command interpreter on Windows is not a POSIX shell, but rather Windows's CMD. That patch was wrong to include 'msys' in the check whether to use qx{} or not: 'msys' identifies MSYS perl as shipped with Git for Windows, which does not need the special treatment; qx{} should be used only with ActiveState perl, which is identified by 'MSWin32'.

Appending "--diff-algorithm=histogram" at the end of canned command line for various modes of "diff" is correct for most of them but not for "stash" that has a non-option already wired in, like so: 'stash' => { DIFF => 'diff-index -p HEAD', Appending an extra option after non-option may happen to work due to overly lax command line parser, but that is not something we should rely on. Instead, splice in the extra argument immediately after the command name (i.e. 'diff-index', 'diff-files', etc.). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-06-12add--interactive: respect diff.algorithmJohn Keeping1-0/+5
When staging hunks interactively it is sometimes useful to use an alternative diff algorithm which splits the changes into hunks in a more logical manner. This is not possible because the plumbing commands called by add--interactive ignore the "diff.algorithm" configuration option (as they should). Since add--interactive is a porcelain command it should respect this configuration variable. To do this, make it read diff.algorithm and pass its value to the underlying diff-index and diff-files invocations. At this point, do not add options to "git add", "git reset" or "git checkout" (all of which can call git-add--interactive). If a user wants to override the value on the command line they can use: git -c diff.algorithm=$ALGO ...

2012-04-05add--interactive: ignore unmerged entries in patch modeJeff King1-7/+18
When "add -p" sees an unmerged entry, it shows the combined diff and then immediately skips the hunk. This can be confusing in a variety of ways, depending on whether there are other changes to stage (in which case you get the superfluous combined diff output in between other hunks) or not (in which case you get the combined diff and the program exits immediately, rather than seeing "No changes"). The current behavior was not planned, and is just what the implementation happens to do. Instead, let's explicitly remove unmerged entries from our list of modified files, and print a warning that we are ignoring them. We can cheaply find which entries are unmerged by adding "--raw" output to the "diff-files --numstat" we already run. There is one non-obvious thing we must change when parsing this combined output. Before this patch, when we saw a numstat line for a file that did not have index changes, we would create a new record with 'unchanged' in the 'INDEX' field. Because "--raw" comes before "--numstat", we must move this special-case down to the raw-line case (and it is sufficient to move it rather than handle it in both places, since any file which has a --numstat will also have a --raw entry).

2011-05-17add -i: ignore terminal escape sequencesThomas Rast1-0/+19
On the author's terminal, the up-arrow input sequence is ^[[A, and thus fat-fingering an up-arrow into 'git checkout -p' is quite dangerous: git-add--interactive.perl will ignore the ^[ and [ characters and happily treat A as "discard everything". As a band-aid fix, use Term::Cap to get all terminal capabilities. Then use the heuristic that any capability value that starts with ^[ (i.e., \e in perl) must be a key input sequence. Finally, given an input that starts with ^[, read more characters until we have read a full escape sequence, then return that to the caller. We use a timeout of 0.5 seconds on the subsequent reads to avoid getting stuck if the user actually input a lone ^[. Since none of the currently recognized keys start with ^[, the net result is that the sequence as a whole will be ignored and the help displayed.

2011-04-29"add -p": work-around an old laziness that does not coalesce hunksJunio C Hamano1-1/+1
Since 0beee4c (git-add--interactive: remove hunk coalescing, 2008-07-02), "git add--interactive" behaves lazily and passes overlapping hunks to the underlying "git apply" without coalescing. This was partially corrected by 7a26e65 (its partial revert, 2009-05-16), but overlapping hunks are still passed when the patch is edited. Teach "git apply" the --allow-overlap option that disables a safety feature that avoids misapplication of patches by not applying patches to overlapping hunks, and pass this option form "add -p" codepath. Do not even advertise the option, as this is merely a workaround, and the correct fix is to make "add -p" correctly coalesce adjacent patch hunks. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Also we only pass --check when we are not applying but just checking. But we always pass --recount since 8cbd431 (git-add--interactive: replace hunk recounting with apply --recount, 2008-07-02).

It forgot that there may be an undecided hunk before the current one. In such a case, the interactive loop still goes back to the beginning.

Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2. However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open syntax: sub run_cmd_pipe { my $fh = undef; open($fh, '-|', @_) or die; return <$fh>; } Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1): t2016-checkout-patch.sh t3904-stash-patch.sh t3701-add-interactive.sh t7105-reset-patch.sh t7501-commit.sh t9700-perl-git.sh Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using useful features introduced in the 5.8 release. The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old.

* jk/maint-add--interactive-delete: add-interactive: fix bogus diff header line ordering
2010-02-22add-interactive: fix bogus diff header line orderingJeff King1-1/+23
When we look at a patch for adding hunks interactively, we first split it into a header and a list of hunks. Some of the header lines, such as mode changes and deletion, however, become their own selectable hunks. Later when we reassemble the patch, we simply concatenate the header and the selected hunks. This leads to patches like this: diff --git a/file b/file index d95f3ad..0000000 --- a/file +++ /dev/null deleted file mode 100644 @@ -1 +0,0 @@ -content Notice how the deletion comes _after_ the ---/+++ lines, when it should come before. In many cases, we can get away with this as git-apply accepts the slightly bogus input. However, in the specific case of a deletion line that is being applied via "apply -R", this malformed patch triggers an assert in git-apply. This comes up when discarding a deletion via "git checkout -p". Rather than try to make git-apply accept our odd input, let's just reassemble the patch in the correct order.

2009-12-07add-interactive: fix deletion of non-empty filesJeff King1-1/+5
Commit 24ab81a fixed the deletion of empty files, but broke deletion of non-empty files. The approach it took was to factor out the "deleted" line from the patch header into its own hunk, the same way we do for mode changes. However, unlike mode changes, we only showed the special "delete this file" hunk if there were no other hunks. Otherwise, the user would annoyingly be presented with _two_ hunks: one for deleting the file and one for deleting the content. This meant that in the non-empty case, we forgot about the deleted line entirely, and we submitted a bogus patch to git-apply (with "/dev/null" as the destination file, but not marked as a deletion). Instead, this patch combines the file deletion hunk and the content deletion hunk (if there is one) into a single deletion hunk which is either staged or not.

We only add the "stage this deletion" hunk for empty files, since other files will already ask about the big content deletion hunk.

This adds a hunk-based mode to git-stash. You can select hunks from the difference between HEAD and worktree, and git-stash will build a stash that reflects these changes. The index state of the stash is the same as your current index, and we also let --patch imply --keep-index. Note that because the selected hunks are rolled back from the worktree but not the index, the resulting state may appear somewhat confusing if you had also staged these changes. This is not entirely satisfactory, but due to the way stashes are applied, other solutions would require a change to the stash format.

This introduces a --patch mode for git-checkout. In the index usage git checkout --patch -- [files...] it lets the user discard edits from the <files> at the granularity of hunks (by selecting hunks from 'git diff' and then reverse applying them to the worktree). We also accept a revision argument. In the case git checkout --patch HEAD -- [files...] we offer hunks from the difference between HEAD and the worktree, and reverse applies them to both index and worktree, allowing you to discard staged changes completely. In the non-HEAD usage git checkout --patch <revision> -- [files...] it offers hunks from the difference between the worktree and <revision>. The chosen hunks are then applied to both index and worktree. The application to worktree and index is done "atomically" in the sense that we first check if the patch applies to the index (it should always apply to the worktree). If it does not, we give the user a choice to either abort or apply to the worktree anyway. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-04-19add-interactive: refactor mode hunk handlingJeff King1-43/+21
The original implementation considered the mode separately from the rest of the hunks, asking about it outside the main hunk-selection loop. This patch instead places a mode change as the first hunk in the loop. This has two advantages: 1. less duplicated code (since we use the main selection loop). This also cleans up an inconsistency, which is that the main selection loop separates options with a comma, whereas the mode prompt used slashes. 2. users can now skip the mode change and come back to it, search for it (via "/mode"), etc, as they can with other hunks. To facilitate this, each hunk is now marked with a "type". Mode hunks are not considered for splitting (which would make no sense, and also confuses the split_hunk function), nor are they editable. In theory, one could edit the mode lines and change to a new mode. In practice, there are only two modes that git cares about (0644 and 0755), so either you want to move from one to the other or not (and you can do that by staging or not staging).

The original implementation considered the mode separately from the rest of the hunks, asking about it outside the main hunk-selection loop.

After invoking git add -p I always got the warnings: Use of uninitialized value $_[3] in exec at Git.pm line 1282. Use of uninitialized value $args[2] in join or string at Git.pm line 1264. A bisect showed that these warnings occur in a301973 "add -p: print errors in separate color" the first time. They can be reproduced by setting color.ui (or color.interactive) to "auto" and unsetting color.interactive.help and color.interactive.error. I am using Perl 5.10.0. The reason of the warning is that color.interactive.error defaults to color.interactive.help which defaults to nothing in the specific codepath. It defaults to 'red bold' some lines above which could lead to the wrong assumption that it always defaults to 'red bold' now. This patch lets it default to 'red bold', blowing the warnings away.

2008-07-02git-add--interactive: manual hunk editing modeThomas Rast1-0/+119
Adds a new option 'e' to the 'add -p' command loop that lets you edit the current hunk in your favourite editor. If the resulting patch applies cleanly, the edited hunk will immediately be marked for staging. If it does not apply cleanly, you will be given an opportunity to edit again. If all lines of the hunk are removed, then the edit is aborted and the hunk is left unchanged. Applying the changed hunk(s) relies on Johannes Schindelin's new --recount option for git-apply. Note that the "real patch" test intentionally uses (echo e; echo n; echo d) | git add -p even though the 'n' and 'd' are superfluous at first sight. They serve to get out of the interaction loop if git add -p wrongly concludes the patch does not apply. Many thanks to Jeff King <peff@peff.net> for lots of help and suggestions.

2008-03-27add--interactive: ignore mode change in 'p'atch commandJeff King1-0/+16
When a path is examined in the patch subcommand, any mode changes in the file are given to use in the diff header by git-diff. If no hunks are staged, then we throw out that header and do not touch the path. But if _any_ hunks are staged, we use the header, and the mode is changed together with the contents. Since the 'p'atch command should just be dealing with hunks that are shown to the user, it makes sense to just ignore mode changes entirely. We do squirrel away the mode, though, since the next patch will allow users to select the mode update separately.

2008-01-06add--interactive: allow diff colors without interactive colorsJeff King1-24/+15
Users with color.diff set to true/auto will not see color in "git add -i" unless they also set color.interactive. This changes the semantics of color.interactive to control only the coloring of the interaction aspect of the command and let color.diff to control the color of hunk picker, which would arguably be more convenient. Old $use_color variable is now renamed to $menu_use_color to make it clear that it is about coloring the interaction. The "colored" subroutine now checks if the passed color is defined, instead of checking $use_color variable, to decide if the lines should be colored. The various variables that define colors for different parts of the output are set or unset depending on the setting of color.interactive and color.diff configuration variables.

2007-12-08Teach "git add -i" to colorize whitespace errorsWincent Colaiuta1-39/+34
Rather than replicating the colorization logic of "git diff-files" we rely on "git diff-files" itself. This guarantees consistent colorization in and outside "git add -i". Seeing as speed is not a concern here (the bottleneck is how fast the user can read, not how fast "git diff-files" runs) we do this by actually running it twice, once without color and once with. In this way as the whitespace colorization provided by "git diff-files" evolves (per-path attributes, new classes of whitespace error), "git add -i" will automatically benefit from it and stay in synch. Also, by working with two sets of diff output (an uncolorized one for internal processing and a colorized one for display only) we minimize the risk of regressions because the changes required to implement this are minimally invasive.

2007-12-05Color support for "git-add -i"Junio C Hamano1-20/+99
This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it simpler and more consistent with commands written in C. A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color. A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text. For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape sequence to color the output text. $repo->get_colorbool() method can be used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

2007-11-30Highlight keyboard shortcuts in git-add--interactiveWincent Colaiuta1-5/+82
The user interface provided by the command loop in git-add--interactive gives the impression that subcommands can only be launched by entering an integer identifier from 1 through 8. A "hidden" feature is that any string can be entered, and a regex search anchored at the beginning of the string is used to find the uniquely matching option. This patch makes this feature a little more obvious by highlighting the first character of each subcommand (for example "patch" is displayed as "[p]atch"). A new function is added to detect the shortest unique prefix and this is used to decide what to highlight. Highlighting is also applied when choosing files. In the case where the common prefix may be unreasonably large highlighting is omitted; in this patch the soft limit (above which the highlighting will be omitted for a particular item) is 0 (in other words, there is no soft limit) and the hard limit (above which highlighting will be omitted for all items) is 3, but this can be tweaked. The actual highlighting is done by the highlight_prefix function, which will enable us to implement ANSI color code-based highlighting (most likely using underline or boldface) in the future.

2006-12-18git-add --interactiveJunio C Hamano1-0/+570
A script to be driven when the user says "git add --interactive" is introduced. When it is run, first it runs its internal 'status' command to show the current status, and then goes into its internactive command loop. The command loop shows the list of subcommands available, and gives a prompt "What now> ". In general, when the prompt ends with a single '>', you can pick only one of the choices given and type return, like this: *** Commands *** 1: status 2: update 3: revert 4: add untracked 5: patch 6: diff 7: quit 8: help What now> 1 You also could say "s" or "sta" or "status" above as long as the choice is unique. The main command loop has 6 subcommands (plus help and quit). * 'status' shows the change between HEAD and index (i.e. what will be committed if you say "git commit"), and between index and working tree files (i.e. what you could stage further before "git commit" using "git-add") for each path. A sample output looks like this: staged unstaged path 1: binary nothing foo.png 2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl It shows that foo.png has differences from HEAD (but that is binary so line count cannot be shown) and there is no difference between indexed copy and the working tree version (if the working tree version were also different, 'binary' would have been shown in place of 'nothing'). The other file, git-add--interactive.perl, has 403 lines added and 35 lines deleted if you commit what is in the index, but working tree file has further modifications (one addition and one deletion). * 'update' shows the status information and gives prompt "Update>>". When the prompt ends with double '>>', you can make more than one selection, concatenated with whitespace or comma. Also you can say ranges. E.g. "2-5 7,9" to choose 2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list. You can say '*' to choose everything. What you chose are then highlighted with '*', like this: staged unstaged path 1: binary nothing foo.png * 2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl To remove selection, prefix the input with - like this: Update>> -2 After making the selection, answer with an empty line to stage the contents of working tree files for selected paths in the index. * 'revert' has a very similar UI to 'update', and the staged information for selected paths are reverted to that of the HEAD version. Reverting new paths makes them untracked. * 'add untracked' has a very similar UI to 'update' and 'revert', and lets you add untracked paths to the index. * 'patch' lets you choose one path out of 'status' like selection. After choosing the path, it presents diff between the index and the working tree file and asks you if you want to stage the change of each hunk. You can say: y - add the change from that hunk to index n - do not add the change from that hunk to index a - add the change from that hunk and all the rest to index d - do not the change from that hunk nor any of the rest to index j - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next undecided hunk J - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next hunk k - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous undecided hunk K - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous hunk After deciding the fate for all hunks, if there is any hunk that was chosen, the index is updated with the selected hunks. * 'diff' lets you review what will be committed (i.e. between HEAD and index). This is still rough, but does everything except a few things I think are needed. * 'patch' should be able to allow splitting a hunk into multiple hunks. * 'patch' does not adjust the line offsets @@ -k,l +m,n @@ in the hunk header. This does not have major problem in practice, but it _should_ do the adjustment. * It does not have any explicit support for a merge in progress; it may not work at all.
