The new paragraph should have the same indentation as 'list'. It would have been great if you implemented this as a filter, such that 'list <attr>' lists the refs with the specified attribute <attr>, rather than hardcoding it. > @@ -59,6 +63,22 @@ suitably updated. > +When the push is complete, outputs one or more 'ok <dst>' or > +'error <dst> <why>?' lines to indicate success or failure of > +each pushed ref.

It wouldn't affect transport-helper.c's parsing of '(ok|error) <ref>' lines, since it reads stdout only.

Two more areas in http-push.c that should have status messages (generated on top of pu): (I'm not sure what ref should read when there's no match, but transport-helper.c should have no problems parsing it with 'null'.) -->8-- diff --git a/http-push.c b/http-push.c index 9010ccc..e979feb 100644 --- a/http-push.c +++ b/http-push.c @@ -1916,9 +1916,12 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) /* Remove a remote branch if -d or -D was specified */ if (delete_branch) { - if (delete_remote_branch(refspec[0], force_delete) == -1) + if (delete_remote_branch(refspec[0], force_delete) == -1) { fprintf(stderr, "Unable to delete remote branch %s\n", refspec[0]); + if (helper_status) + printf("error %s cannot remove\n", refspec[0]); + } goto cleanup; } @@ -1930,6 +1933,8 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) } if (!remote_refs) { fprintf(stderr, "No refs in common and none specified; doing nothing.\n"); + if (helper_status) + printf("error null no match\n"); rc = 0; goto cleanup; } -- Cheers, Ray Chuan -- 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
