[PATCH v2] pull: pass --signoff/--no-signoff to "git merge"

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

 



e379fdf3 (merge: refuse to create too cool a merge by default,
2016-03-18) gave a reason for *not* passing options from pull to
merge:

  ...because such a "two project merge" would be done after fetching
  the other project into some location in the working tree of an
  existing project and making sure how well they fit together...

That's certainly an acceptable workflow, but I'd also like to support
merge options in pull for folks who want to optimistically pull and
then sort out "how well they fit together" after pull exits (possibly
with a merge failure).  And in cases where an optimistic pull is
likely to succeed, suggesting it is easier to explain to Git newbies
than a FETCH_HEAD merge or remote-addition/merge/remote-removal.

09c2cb87 (pull: pass --allow-unrelated-histories to "git merge",
2016-03-18) added a pull-to-merge pass for a different option but
didn't motivate its change, only citing the reason from e379fdf3 for
not adding the pull-to-merge pass for that option.  I'm personally in
favor of pull-to-merge passing for any unambiguous options, but if the
decision for pull-to-merge passes depends on the specific option, then
--allow-unrelated-histories is probably the weakest candidate because
unrelated-history merged are more likely to have "fit together" issues
than the other merge-only options.

The test_has_trailer helper gives folks a convenient way check these
sorts of things.  I haven't gone through and updated existing trailer
checks (e.g. the ones in t7614-merge-signoff.sh) to avoid the "only to
correct the inconconsistency" issue discussed in SubmittingPatches.
Other test may gradually migrate to the new helper if they find it
useful.  The helper may be useful enough to eventually become a
plumbing command (a read version of interpret-trailers with an API
similar to 'git config ...'?), but I'm not going that far in this
commit ;).

The order of options in merge-options.txt isn't clear to me, but I've
put --signoff between --log and --stat as somewhat alphabetized and
having an "add to the commit message" function like --log.

Changes since v1 [1]:

* Dropped "Following" paragraph.  Junio took issue with the phrasing
  [2], and the implementation in v2 has diverged sufficiently from
  09c2cb87 and 14d01b4f that I don't think citing them as
  implementation references is useful anymore.

* Lead the commit message with reworked motivation paragraphs, since
  Junio read the v1 motivation paragraph as off-topic [2].

* Add a test_has_trailer helper, which I'd floated in [3] after
  Junio's get_signoff suggestion in [2].

* Drop subshells in favor of '-C <directory>' in the tests, as
  suggested in [2].

* Add tests for the bare pull and lonely --no-signoff cases, as
  suggested in [2].  With these additions in place, I've dropped v1's
  "The tests aren't as extensive..." paragraph from the commit
  message.

* Use OPT_PASSTHRU in pull.c.  I'm not sure why
  --allow-unrelated-histories didn't go this route, but there are lots
  of other pull-to-merge options using OPT_PASSTHRU, so using it for
  --signoff isn't breaking consistency.

Not changed since v1:

* The merge-options.txt order paragraph.  Junio had suggested it be
  moved after the break [2], but I think having some commit-message
  discussion of merge-options.txt ordering is useful, even though I
  don't have strong opinions on what the ordering should be [3].

This patch (and v1) are based on v2.15.0-rc1, although I expect
they'll apply cleanly to anything in that vicinity.

Cheers,
Trevor
