When reset -p was implemented (v1.6.5-rc0~5^2~7, 2009-08-15), it piggy-backed on an existing "git reset" check to verify that the <rev> argument represents a valid commit. By dropping that check, we can use reset -p to apply changes from an arbitrary tree; for example, from the linux-2.6 tree: git reset -p 2.6.11 -- Makefile add--interactive already rejects invalid refs. $ git init >dev/null 2>&1; git reset -p HEAD; echo $? fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions 128 Unfortunate side-effect: reset -p will accept a blob for <rev>, too. $ git reset -p HEAD:git.c; echo $? error: bad tree object HEAD:git.c No changes. 0 Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx> --- builtin/reset.c | 12 ++++++------ t/t7105-reset-patch.sh | 12 ++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/reset.c b/builtin/reset.c index 0037be4..a52e6f8 100644 --- a/builtin/reset.c +++ b/builtin/reset.c @@ -297,24 +297,24 @@ int cmd_reset(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) /* Otherwise we treat this as a filename */ verify_filename(prefix, argv[i]); } } + if (patch_mode) { + if (reset_type != NONE) + die("--patch is incompatible with --{hard,mixed,soft}"); + return interactive_reset(rev, argv + i, prefix); + } + if (get_sha1(rev, sha1)) die("Failed to resolve '%s' as a valid ref.", rev); commit = lookup_commit_reference(sha1); if (!commit) die("Could not parse object '%s'.", rev); hashcpy(sha1, commit->object.sha1); - if (patch_mode) { - if (reset_type != NONE) - die("--patch is incompatible with --{hard,mixed,soft}"); - return interactive_reset(rev, argv + i, prefix); - } - /* git reset tree [--] paths... can be used to * load chosen paths from the tree into the index without * affecting the working tree nor HEAD. */ if (i < argc) { if (reset_type == MIXED) diff --git a/t/t7105-reset-patch.sh b/t/t7105-reset-patch.sh index 9891e2c..ba3ff42 100755 --- a/t/t7105-reset-patch.sh +++ b/t/t7105-reset-patch.sh @@ -46,10 +46,22 @@ test_expect_success PERL 'git reset -p dir' ' (echo y; echo n) | git reset -p dir && verify_state dir/foo work head && verify_saved_state bar ' +test_expect_success PERL 'git reset -p <tree> dir' ' + set_state dir/foo work work && + (echo y; echo n) | git reset -p HEAD^{tree} dir && + verify_state dir/foo work head && + verify_saved_state bar +' + +test_expect_failure PERL 'git reset -p <blob>' ' + set_state dir/foo work work && + test_must_fail git reset -p HEAD:dir/foo +' + test_expect_success PERL 'git reset -p -- foo (inside dir)' ' set_state dir/foo work work (echo y; echo n) | (cd dir && git reset -p -- foo) && verify_state dir/foo work head && verify_saved_state bar -- 1.7.2.3 -- 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
