From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx> The code expects a ref name to be provided in commit->util. While there was some code to set commit->util, it only worked in cases where there was an unbroken chain of revisions from a ref to the relevant commit. In cases such as running git fast-export --parents master -- COPYING commit->util would fail to be set. The old method of setting commit->util has been removed in favor of requesting show_source from the revision traversal machinery (related to the "--source" option of "git log" family of commands.) However, this change does not fix cases like git fast export master~1 or git fast export :/arguments since in such cases commit->util will be "master~1" or ":/arguments" while we need the actual ref (e.g. "refs/heads/master") Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx> --- Since the last series, some now-obsolete code has been removed. Also, the commit message now points out two cases that continue to fail with this patch. For the second of those cases (the :/arguments one), I'm not sure that I even know what correct behavior would be. builtin-fast-export.c | 5 +---- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin-fast-export.c b/builtin-fast-export.c index 8c90a2d..43a7e17 100644 --- a/builtin-fast-export.c +++ b/builtin-fast-export.c @@ -530,6 +530,7 @@ int cmd_fast_export(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) init_revisions(&revs, prefix); revs.topo_order = 1; + revs.show_source = 1; argc = setup_revisions(argc, argv, &revs, NULL); argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, options, fast_export_usage, 0); if (argc > 1) @@ -546,11 +547,7 @@ int cmd_fast_export(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) DIFF_OPT_SET(&revs.diffopt, RECURSIVE); while ((commit = get_revision(&revs))) { if (has_unshown_parent(commit)) { - struct commit_list *parent = commit->parents; add_object_array(&commit->object, NULL, &commits); - for (; parent; parent = parent->next) - if (!parent->item->util) - parent->item->util = commit->util; } else { handle_commit(commit, &revs); -- 1.6.3.2.323.geb889 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
