2025-01-21doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc filesbrian m. carlson1-549/+0
We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc, meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting. It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files, since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new extension as well. Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the documentation. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-08-14for-each-ref: add 'is-base' tokenDerrick Stolee1-0/+42
The previous change introduced the get_branch_base_for_tip() method in commit-reach.c. The motivation of that change was about using a heuristic to deteremine the base branch for a source commit from a list of candidate commit tips. This change makes that algorithm visible to users via a new atom in the 'git for-each-ref' format. This change is very similar to the chang in 49abcd21da6 (for-each-ref: add ahead-behind format atom, 2023-03-20). Introduce the 'is-base:<source>' atom, which will indicate that the algorithm should be computed and the result of the algorithm is reported using an indicator of the form '(<source>)'. For example, using '%(is-base:HEAD)' would result in one line having the token '(HEAD)'. Use the sorted order of refs included in the ref filter to break ties in the algorithm's heuristic. In the previous change, the motivating examples include using an L0 trunk, long-lived L1 branches, and temporary release branches. A caller could communicate the ordered preference among these categories using the input refpecs and avoiding a different sort mechanism. This sorting behavior is tested in the test scripts. It is important to include this atom as a special case to can_do_iterative_format() to match the expectations created in bd98f9774e1 (ref-filter.c: filter & format refs in the same callback, 2023-11-14). The ahead-behind atom was one of the special cases, and this similarly requires using an algorithm across all input refs before starting the format of any single ref. In the test script, the format tokens use colons or lack whitespace to avoid Git complaining about trailing whitespace errors.

2024-02-07ref-filter.c: sort formatted dates by byte valueVictoria Dye1-3/+5
Update the ref sorting functions of 'ref-filter.c' so that when date fields are specified with a format string (such as in 'git for-each-ref --sort=creatordate:<something>'), they are sorted by their formatted string value rather than by the underlying numeric timestamp. Currently, date fields are always sorted by timestamp, regardless of whether formatting information is included in the '--sort' key. Leaving the default (unformatted) date sorting unchanged, sorting by the formatted date string adds some flexibility to 'for-each-ref' by allowing for behavior like "sort by year, then by refname within each year" or "sort by time of day". Because the inclusion of a format string previously had no effect on sort behavior, this change likely will not affect existing usage of 'for-each-ref' or other ref listing commands. Additionally, update documentation & tests to document the new sorting mechanism. Signed-off-by: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2023-11-16ref-filter.c: use peeled tag for '*' format fieldsVictoria Dye1-2/+2
In most builtins ('rev-parse <revision>^{}', 'show-ref --dereference'), "dereferencing" a tag refers to a recursive peel of the tag object. Unlike these cases, the dereferencing prefix ('*') in 'for-each-ref' format specifiers triggers only a single, non-recursive dereference of a given tag object. For most annotated tags, a single dereference is all that is needed to access the tag's associated commit or tree; "recursive" and "non-recursive" dereferencing are functionally equivalent in these cases. However, nested tags (annotated tags whose target is another annotated tag) dereferenced once return another tag, where a recursive dereference would return the commit or tree. Currently, if a user wants to filter & format refs and include information about a recursively-dereferenced tag, they can do so with something like 'cat-file --batch-check': git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname)^{} %(refname)" <pattern> | git cat-file --batch-check="%(objectname) %(rest)" But the combination of commands is inefficient. So, to improve the performance of this use case and align the defererencing behavior of 'for-each-ref' with that of other commands, update the ref formatting code to use the peeled tag (from 'peel_iterated_oid()') to populate '*' fields rather than the tag's immediate target object (from 'get_tagged_oid()'). Additionally, add a test to 't6300-for-each-ref' to verify new nested tag behavior and update 't6302-for-each-ref-filter.sh' to print the correct value for nested dereferenced fields.

2023-09-25ref-filter: add mailmap supportKousik Sanagavarapu1-1/+5
Add mailmap support to ref-filter formats which are similar in pretty. This support is such that the following pretty placeholders are equivalent to the new ref-filter atoms: %aN = authorname:mailmap %cN = committername:mailmap %aE = authoremail:mailmap %aL = authoremail:mailmap,localpart %cE = committeremail:mailmap %cL = committeremail:mailmap,localpart Additionally, mailmap can also be used with ":trim" option for email by doing something like "authoremail:mailmap,trim". The above also applies for the "tagger" atom, that is, "taggername:mailmap", "taggeremail:mailmap", "taggeremail:mailmap,trim" and "taggername:mailmap,localpart". The functionality of ":trim" and ":localpart" remains the same. That is, ":trim" gives the email, but without the angle brackets and ":localpart" gives the part of the email before the '@' character (if such a character is not found then we directly grab everything between the angle brackets).

2023-07-10builtin/for-each-ref.c: add `--exclude` optionTaylor Blau1-0/+6
When using `for-each-ref`, it is sometimes convenient for the caller to be able to exclude certain parts of the references. For example, if there are many `refs/__hidden__/*` references, the caller may want to emit all references *except* the hidden ones. Currently, the only way to do this is to post-process the output, like: $ git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' | grep -v '^refs/hidden/' Which is do-able, but requires processing a potentially large quantity of references. Teach `git for-each-ref` a new `--exclude=<pattern>` option, which excludes references from the results if they match one or more excluded patterns. This patch provides a naive implementation where the `ref_filter` still sees all references (including ones that it will discard) and is left to check whether each reference matches any excluded pattern(s) before emitting them. By culling out references we know the caller doesn't care about, we can avoid allocating memory for their storage, as well as spending time sorting the output (among other things). Even the naive implementation provides a significant speed-up on a modified copy of linux.git (that has a hidden ref pointing at each commit): $ hyperfine \ 'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"' \ 'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/' Benchmark 1: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/" Time (mean ± σ): 820.1 ms ± 2.0 ms [User: 703.7 ms, System: 152.0 ms] Range (min … max): 817.7 ms … 823.3 ms 10 runs Benchmark 2: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/ Time (mean ± σ): 106.6 ms ± 1.1 ms [User: 99.4 ms, System: 7.1 ms] Range (min … max): 104.7 ms … 109.1 ms 27 runs Summary 'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/' ran 7.69 ± 0.08 times faster than 'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"' Subsequent patches will improve on this by avoiding visiting excluded sections of the `packed-refs` file in certain cases.

2023-03-20for-each-ref: add ahead-behind format atomDerrick Stolee1-0/+5
The previous change implemented the ahead_behind() method, including an algorithm to compute the ahead/behind values for a number of commit tips relative to a number of commit bases. Now, integrate that algorithm as part of 'git for-each-ref' hidden behind a new format atom, ahead-behind. This naturally extends to 'git branch' and 'git tag' builtins, as well. This format allows specifying multiple bases, if so desired, and all matching references are compared against all of those bases. For this reason, failing to read a reference provided from these atoms results in an error. In order to translate the ahead_behind() method information to the format output code in ref-filter.c, we must populate arrays of ahead_behind_count structs. In struct ref_array, we store the full array that will be passed to ahead_behind(). In struct ref_array_item, we store an array of pointers that point to the relvant items within the full array. In this way, we can pull all relevant ahead/behind values directly when formatting output for a specific item. It also ensures the lifetime of the ahead_behind_count structs matches the time that the array is being used. Add specific tests of the ahead/behind counts in t6600-test-reach.sh, as it has an interesting repository shape. In particular, its merging strategy and its use of different commit-graphs would demonstrate over- counting if the ahead_behind() method did not already account for that possibility. Also add tests for the specific for-each-ref, branch, and tag builtins. In the case of 'git tag', there are intersting cases that happen when some of the selected tips are not commits. This requires careful logic around commits_nr in the second loop of filter_ahead_behind(). Also, the test in t7004 is carefully located to avoid being dependent on the GPG prereq. It also avoids using the test_commit helper, as that will add ticks to the time and disrupt the expected timestamps in later tag tests. Also add performance tests in a new p1300-graph-walks.sh script. This will be useful for more uses in the future, but for now compare the ahead-behind counting algorithm in 'git for-each-ref' to the naive implementation by running 'git rev-list --count' processes for each input. For the Git source code repository, the improvement is already obvious: Test this tree --------------------------------------------------------------- 1500.2: ahead-behind counts: git for-each-ref 0.07(0.07+0.00) 1500.3: ahead-behind counts: git branch 0.07(0.06+0.00) 1500.4: ahead-behind counts: git tag 0.07(0.06+0.00) 1500.5: ahead-behind counts: git rev-list 1.32(1.04+0.27) But the standard performance benchmark is the Linux kernel repository, which demosntrates a significant improvement: Test this tree --------------------------------------------------------------- 1500.2: ahead-behind counts: git for-each-ref 0.27(0.24+0.02) 1500.3: ahead-behind counts: git branch 0.27(0.24+0.03) 1500.4: ahead-behind counts: git tag 0.28(0.27+0.01) 1500.5: ahead-behind counts: git rev-list 4.57(4.03+0.54) The 'git rev-list' test exists in this change as a demonstration, but it will be removed in the next change to avoid wasting time on this comparison.

2023-03-20for-each-ref: add --stdin optionDerrick Stolee1-1/+6
When a user wishes to input a large list of patterns to 'git for-each-ref' (likely a long list of exact refs) there are frequently system limits on the number of command-line arguments. Add a new --stdin option to instead read the patterns from standard input. Add tests that check that any unrecognized arguments are considered an error when --stdin is provided. Also, an empty pattern list is interpreted as the complete ref set. When reading from stdin, we populate the filter.name_patterns array dynamically as opposed to pointing to the 'argv' array directly. This is simple when using a strvec, as it is NULL-terminated in the same way. We then free the memory directly from the strvec.

2021-07-26ref-filter: add %(raw) atomZheNing Hu1-0/+9
Add new formatting option `%(raw)`, which will print the raw object data without any changes. It will help further to migrate all cat-file formatting logic from cat-file to ref-filter. The raw data of blob, tree objects may contain '\0', but most of the logic in `ref-filter` depends on the output of the atom being text (specifically, no embedded NULs in it). E.g. `quote_formatting()` use `strbuf_addstr()` or `*._quote_buf()` add the data to the buffer. The raw data of a tree object is `100644 one\0...`, only the `100644 one` will be added to the buffer, which is incorrect. Therefore, we need to find a way to record the length of the atom_value's member `s`. Although strbuf can already record the string and its length, if we want to replace the type of atom_value's member `s` with strbuf, many places in ref-filter that are filled with dynamically allocated mermory in `v->s` are not easy to replace. At the same time, we need to check if `v->s == NULL` in populate_value(), and strbuf cannot easily distinguish NULL and empty strings, but c-style "const char *" can do it. So add a new member in `struct atom_value`: `s_size`, which can record raw object size, it can help us add raw object data to the buffer or compare two buffers which contain raw object data. Note that `--format=%(raw)` cannot be used with `--python`, `--shell`, `--tcl`, and `--perl` because if the binary raw data is passed to a variable in such languages, these may not support arbitrary binary data in their string variable type.

As with %(contents), %(contents:size) is silently ignored, if a ref points to something other than a commit or a tag: ``` $ git update-ref refs/mytrees/first HEAD^{tree} $ git for-each-ref --format='%(contents)' refs/mytrees/first $ git for-each-ref --format='%(contents:size)' refs/mytrees/first ``` Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-07-10Documentation: clarify %(contents:XXXX) docChristian Couder1-6/+18
Let's avoid a big dense paragraph by using an unordered list for the %(contents:XXXX) format specifiers. While at it let's also make the following improvements: - Let's not describe %(contents) using "complete message" as it's not clear what an incomplete message is. - Let's improve how the "subject" and "body" are described. - Let's state that "signature" is only available for tag objects.

The "--format=..." option "git for-each-ref" takes learned to show the name of the 'remote' repository and the ref at the remote side that is affected for 'upstream' and 'push' via "%(push:remotename)" and friends. * js/for-each-ref-remote-name-and-ref: for-each-ref: test :remotename and :remoteref for-each-ref: let upstream/push report the remote ref name for-each-ref: let upstream/push optionally report the remote name
2017-11-08for-each-ref: let upstream/push report the remote ref nameJ Wyman1-5/+9
There are times when scripts want to know not only the name of the push branch on the remote, but also the name of the branch as known by the remote repository. An example of this is when a tool wants to push to the very same branch from which it would pull automatically, i.e. the `<remote>` and the `<to>` in `git push <remote> <from>:<to>` would be provided by `%(upstream:remotename)` and `%(upstream:remoteref)`, respectively. This patch offers the new suffix :remoteref for the `upstream` and `push` atoms, allowing to show exactly that. Example: $ cat .git/config ... [remote "origin"] url = https://where.do.we.come/from fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/* [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master [branch "develop/with/topics"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/develop/with/topics ... $ git for-each-ref \ --format='%(push) %(push:remoteref)' \ refs/heads refs/remotes/origin/master refs/heads/master refs/remotes/origin/develop/with/topics refs/heads/develop/with/topics Signed-off-by: J Wyman <jwyman@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-10-10for-each-ref: let upstream/push optionally report the remote nameJohannes Schindelin1-7/+10
There are times when e.g. scripts want to know not only the name of the upstream branch on the remote repository, but also the name of the remote. This patch offers the new suffix :remotename for the upstream and for the push atoms, allowing to show exactly that. Example: $ cat .git/config ... [remote "origin"] url = https://where.do.we.come/from fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/* [remote "hello-world"] url = https://hello.world/git fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/* pushURL = hello.world:git push = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* [branch "master"] remote = origin pushRemote = hello-world ... $ git for-each-ref \ --format='%(upstream) %(upstream:remotename) %(push:remotename)' \ refs/heads/master refs/remotes/origin/master origin hello-world The implementation chooses *not* to DWIM the push remote if no explicit push remote was configured; The reason is that it is possible to DWIM this by using %(if)%(push:remotename)%(then) %(push:remotename) %(else) %(upstream:remotename) %(end) while it would be impossible to "un-DWIM" the information in case the caller is really only interested in explicit push remotes. While `:remote` would be shorter, it would also be a bit more ambiguous, and it would also shut the door e.g. for `:remoteref` (which would obviously refer to the corresponding ref in the remote repository). Note: the dashless, non-CamelCased form `:remotename` follows the example of the `:trackshort` example.

2017-10-04provide --color option for all ref-filter usersJeff King1-0/+5
When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd (ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors, 2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so with --color/--no-color. But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the "color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands the usual color command-line options. This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always" changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing color when our output goes to a non-terminal).

2017-08-18Documentation/git-for-each-ref: clarify peeling of tags for --formatMichael J Gruber1-2/+3
`*` in format strings means peeling of tag objects so that object field names refer to the object that the tag object points at, instead of the tag object itself. Currently, this is documented using grammar that is clearly inspired by classical latin, though missing more than an article in order to be classical english. Try and straighten that explanation out a bit. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@grubix.eu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-08-18Documentation: use proper wording for ref format stringsMichael J Gruber1-2/+2
Various commands list refs and allow to use a format string for the output that interpolates from the ref as well as the object it points at (for-each-ref; branch and tag in list mode). Currently, the documentation talks about interpolating from the object. This is confusing because a ref points to an object but not vice versa, so the object cannot possible know %(refname), for example. Thus, this is wrong independent of refs being objects (one day, maybe) or not. Change the wording to make this clearer (and distinguish it from formats for the log family).
