Does a failure in interpret-branch-name that issue these error messages always followed by die() in the caller? I know you looked at the cases you noticed as an end-user (like the above "git show @{u}" example), but if some codepaths did this: if (interpret-branch-name()) { you do not seem to have upstream defined, so I will helpfully do something else that you probably have meant. } this patch will break that codepath you did not look. I do not offhand know if there is such a codepath, so if you did a code audit and know this patch is regression-free, please say that in the log message. "I ran all the tests and they passed" is not good enough. Other than that, the idea sounds OK. > > Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > sha1_name.c | 13 +++++++------ > t/t1507-rev-parse-upstream.sh | 15 +++++---------- > 2 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/sha1_name.c b/sha1_name.c > index 3820f28..416a673 100644 > --- a/sha1_name.c > +++ b/sha1_name.c > @@ -1033,14 +1033,15 @@ int interpret_branch_name(const char *name, struct strbuf *buf) > * points to something different than a branch. > */ > if (!upstream) > - return error(_("HEAD does not point to a branch")); > + die(_("HEAD does not point to a branch")); > if (!upstream->merge || !upstream->merge[0]->dst) { > if (!ref_exists(upstream->refname)) > - return error(_("No such branch: '%s'"), cp); > - if (!upstream->merge) > - return error(_("No upstream configured for branch '%s'"), > - upstream->name); > - return error( > + die(_("No such branch: '%s'"), cp); > + if (!upstream->merge) { > + die(_("No upstream configured for branch '%s'"), > + upstream->name); > + } > + die( > _("Upstream branch '%s' not stored as a remote-tracking branch"), > upstream->merge[0]->src); > } > diff --git a/t/t1507-rev-parse-upstream.sh b/t/t1507-rev-parse-upstream.sh > index b27a720..2a19e79 100755 > --- a/t/t1507-rev-parse-upstream.sh > +++ b/t/t1507-rev-parse-upstream.sh > @@ -129,8 +129,7 @@ test_expect_success 'branch@{u} works when tracking a local branch' ' > > test_expect_success 'branch@{u} error message when no upstream' ' > cat >expect <<-EOF && > - error: No upstream configured for branch ${sq}non-tracking${sq} > - fatal: Needed a single revision > + fatal: No upstream configured for branch ${sq}non-tracking${sq} > EOF > error_message non-tracking@{u} 2>actual && > test_i18ncmp expect actual > @@ -138,8 +137,7 @@ test_expect_success 'branch@{u} error message when no upstream' ' > > test_expect_success '@{u} error message when no upstream' ' > cat >expect <<-EOF && > - error: No upstream configured for branch ${sq}master${sq} > - fatal: Needed a single revision > + fatal: No upstream configured for branch ${sq}master${sq} > EOF > test_must_fail git rev-parse --verify @{u} 2>actual && > test_i18ncmp expect actual > @@ -147,8 +145,7 @@ test_expect_success '@{u} error message when no upstream' ' > > test_expect_success 'branch@{u} error message with misspelt branch' ' > cat >expect <<-EOF && > - error: No such branch: ${sq}no-such-branch${sq} > - fatal: Needed a single revision > + fatal: No such branch: ${sq}no-such-branch${sq} > EOF > error_message no-such-branch@{u} 2>actual && > test_i18ncmp expect actual > @@ -156,8 +153,7 @@ test_expect_success 'branch@{u} error message with misspelt branch' ' > > test_expect_success '@{u} error message when not on a branch' ' > cat >expect <<-EOF && > - error: HEAD does not point to a branch > - fatal: Needed a single revision > + fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch > EOF > git checkout HEAD^0 && > test_must_fail git rev-parse --verify @{u} 2>actual && > @@ -166,8 +162,7 @@ test_expect_success '@{u} error message when not on a branch' ' > > test_expect_success 'branch@{u} error message if upstream branch not fetched' ' > cat >expect <<-EOF && > - error: Upstream branch ${sq}refs/heads/side${sq} not stored as a remote-tracking branch > - fatal: Needed a single revision > + fatal: Upstream branch ${sq}refs/heads/side${sq} not stored as a remote-tracking branch > EOF > error_message bad-upstream@{u} 2>actual && > test_i18ncmp expect actual -- 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
