update-ref is safer than manualy echoing values to various files in $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/. bisect predates update-ref and was never updated to use the latter. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <ukleinek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- There are some style nits in git-bisect.sh that I found while producing that patch. E.g. the 3rd hunk shows GIT_DIR="$GIT_DIR" git-$command ... where the assignment to GIT_DIR should be superfluous? In some places git-command is used, and in other git command. git-bisect.sh | 13 +++++++------ 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-bisect.sh b/git-bisect.sh index a12ea31..1589870 100755 --- a/git-bisect.sh +++ b/git-bisect.sh @@ -90,7 +90,7 @@ bisect_bad() { *) usage ;; esac || exit - echo "$rev" >"$GIT_DIR/refs/bisect/bad" + git update-ref "refs/bisect/bad" "$rev" echo "# bad: "$(git-show-branch $rev) >>"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG" echo "git-bisect bad $rev" >>"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG" bisect_auto_next @@ -106,7 +106,7 @@ bisect_good() { for rev in $revs do rev=$(git-rev-parse --verify "$rev^{commit}") || exit - echo "$rev" >"$GIT_DIR/refs/bisect/good-$rev" + git update-ref "refs/bisect/good-$rev" "$rev" echo "# good: "$(git-show-branch $rev) >>"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG" echo "git-bisect good $rev" >>"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG" done @@ -159,9 +159,10 @@ bisect_next() { nr="$nr_good"; fi; echo "Bisecting: maximal $nr revisions left to test" - echo "$rev" > "$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/new-bisect" + git update-ref refs/heads/new-bisect "$rev" git checkout -q new-bisect || exit - mv "$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/new-bisect" "$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/bisect" && + git update-ref refs/heads/bisect "$rev" && + git update-ref -d refs/heads/new-bisect "$rev" && GIT_DIR="$GIT_DIR" git-symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/bisect git-show-branch "$rev" } @@ -211,12 +212,12 @@ bisect_replay () { eval "$cmd" ;; good) - echo "$rev" >"$GIT_DIR/refs/bisect/good-$rev" + git update-ref "refs/bisect/good-$rev" "$rev" echo "# good: "$(git-show-branch $rev) >>"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG" echo "git-bisect good $rev" >>"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG" ;; bad) - echo "$rev" >"$GIT_DIR/refs/bisect/bad" + git update-ref "refs/bisect/bad" "$rev" echo "# bad: "$(git-show-branch $rev) >>"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG" echo "git-bisect bad $rev" >>"$GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG" ;; -- 1.5.0.2.260.g2eb065 -- Uwe Kleine-König http://www.google.com/search?q=1+newton+in+kg*m+%2F+s%5E2 - 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
