[PATCH 0/5] extend git-describe pattern matching

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@xxxxxxxxx>

Teach git describe and git name-rev the ability to match multiple
patterns inclusively. Additionally, teach these commands to also accept
negative patterns to discard any refs which match.

The pattern lists for positive and negative patterns are inclusive. This
means that for the positive patterns, a reference will be considered as
long as it matches at least one of the match patterns. It need not match
all given patterns. Additionally for negative patterns, we will not
consider any ref which matches any negative pattern, even if it matches
one of the positive patterns.

Together this allows the ability to express far more sets of tags than a
single match pattern alone. It does not provide quite the same depth as
would teaching full regexp but it is simpler and easy enough to
understand.

This is a re-send of a series from a month or so ago, I've since
re-based this on next since it appears that it was not picked up before.
