The parsing of "--index" is done in a callback, but it does not handle an "unset" option. We don't necessarily expect anyone to use this, but the current behavior is to treat it exactly like "--index", which would probably be surprising. Instead, let's just turn it into an OPT_BOOL, and handle it after we're done parsing. This makes "--no-index" just work (it cancels a previous "--index"). As a bonus, this makes the logic easier to follow. The old code opened the index during the option parsing, leaving the reader to wonder if there was some timing issue (there isn't; none of the other options care that we've opened it). And then if we found that "--prefix" had been given, we had to rollback the index. Now we can simply avoid opening it in the first place. Note that it might make more sense for checkout-index to complain when "--index --prefix=foo" is given (rather than silently ignoring "--index"), but since it has been that way since 415e96c ([PATCH] Implement git-checkout-cache -u to update stat information in the cache., 2005-05-15), it's safer to leave it as-is. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- I also reformatted the comment that violated our style guidelines, but I am not sure if it is all that helpful. It seems we also cancel "--index" with "--temp" or "--stage=all", but I do not know why. I left the content as-is, but if somebody knows enough to elaborate, it might be worth doing. builtin/checkout-index.c | 34 ++++++++++------------------------ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/checkout-index.c b/builtin/checkout-index.c index 43bedde..f8179a7 100644 --- a/builtin/checkout-index.c +++ b/builtin/checkout-index.c @@ -130,18 +130,6 @@ static const char * const builtin_checkout_index_usage[] = { static struct lock_file lock_file; -static int option_parse_u(const struct option *opt, - const char *arg, int unset) -{ - int *newfd = opt->value; - - state.refresh_cache = 1; - state.istate = &the_index; - if (*newfd < 0) - *newfd = hold_locked_index(&lock_file, 1); - return 0; -} - static int option_parse_stage(const struct option *opt, const char *arg, int unset) { @@ -166,6 +154,7 @@ int cmd_checkout_index(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) int read_from_stdin = 0; int prefix_length; int force = 0, quiet = 0, not_new = 0; + int index_opt = 0; struct option builtin_checkout_index_options[] = { OPT_BOOL('a', "all", &all, N_("check out all files in the index")), @@ -174,9 +163,8 @@ int cmd_checkout_index(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) N_("no warning for existing files and files not in index")), OPT_BOOL('n', "no-create", ¬_new, N_("don't checkout new files")), - { OPTION_CALLBACK, 'u', "index", &newfd, NULL, - N_("update stat information in the index file"), - PARSE_OPT_NOARG, option_parse_u }, + OPT_BOOL('u', "index", &index_opt, + N_("update stat information in the index file")), OPT_BOOL('z', NULL, &nul_term_line, N_("paths are separated with NUL character")), OPT_BOOL(0, "stdin", &read_from_stdin, @@ -211,15 +199,13 @@ int cmd_checkout_index(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) state.base_dir = ""; state.base_dir_len = strlen(state.base_dir); - if (state.base_dir_len || to_tempfile) { - /* when --prefix is specified we do not - * want to update cache. - */ - if (state.refresh_cache) { - rollback_lock_file(&lock_file); - newfd = -1; - } - state.refresh_cache = 0; + /* + * when --prefix is specified we do not want to update cache. + */ + if (index_opt && !state.base_dir_len && !to_tempfile) { + state.refresh_cache = 1; + state.istate = &the_index; + newfd = hold_locked_index(&lock_file, 1); } /* Check out named files first */ -- 2.7.0.489.g6faad84 -- 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
