From: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@xxxxxx> Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2007 14:12:53 +0100 The old behaviour was to unilaterally default to the cwd is the work tree when GIT_DIR was set, but GIT_WORK_TREE wasn't, no matter if we are inside the GIT_DIR, or if GIT_DIR is actually something like ../../../.git.

Yes you did. Here is a refresher with an affected test adjusted. We already have a few changes that worked around the semantics change by either setting GIT_WORK_TREE or cd'ing up, but I think they should not need to be reverted. It makes more sense to keep the old semantics -- people who use unusual GIT_DIR setting should know what they are doing, and the new GIT_WORK_TREE feature (and core.worktree) would give them better control. We just should not break existing users that set GIT_DIR and nothing else. Which means I need another rewrite on the Release Notes, and probably yet another rc cycle. setup.c | 52 +++++++++---------------------------------------- t/t1500-rev-parse.sh | 6 +++- 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) diff --git a/setup.c b/setup.c index b55b82c..06004f1 100644 --- a/setup.c +++ b/setup.c @@ -189,53 +189,21 @@ int is_inside_work_tree(void) } /* - * If no worktree was given, and we are outside of a default work tree, - * now is the time to set it. - * - * In other words, if the user calls git with something like - * - * git --git-dir=/some/where/else/.git bla - * - * default to /some/where/else as working directory; if the specified - * git-dir does not end in "/.git", the cwd is used as working directory. + * set_work_tree() is only ever called if you set GIT_DIR explicitely. + * The old behaviour (which we retain here) is to set the work tree root + * to the cwd, unless overridden by the config, the command line, or + * GIT_WORK_TREE. */ -const char *set_work_tree(const char *dir) +static const char *set_work_tree(const char *dir) { - char dir_buffer[PATH_MAX], *rel = NULL; - static char buffer[PATH_MAX + 1]; - int len, suffix_len = strlen(DEFAULT_GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT) + 1; - - /* strip the variable 'dir' of the postfix "/.git" if it has it */ - len = strlen(dir); - if (len > suffix_len && - !strcmp(dir + len - suffix_len, "/" DEFAULT_GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT)) { - if ((len - suffix_len) >= sizeof(dir_buffer)) - die("directory name too long"); - memcpy(dir_buffer, dir, len - suffix_len); - dir_buffer[len - suffix_len] = '\0'; - - /* are we inside the default work tree? */ - rel = get_relative_cwd(buffer, sizeof(buffer), dir_buffer); - } + char buffer[PATH_MAX + 1]; - /* if rel is set, the cwd is _not_ the current working tree */ - if (rel && *rel) { - if (!is_absolute_path(dir)) - set_git_dir(make_absolute_path(dir)); - dir = dir_buffer; - if (chdir(dir)) - die("cannot chdir to %s: %s", dir, strerror(errno)); - else - strcat(rel, "/"); - inside_git_dir = 0; - } else { - rel = NULL; - dir = getcwd(buffer, sizeof(buffer)); - } - git_work_tree_cfg = xstrdup(dir); + if (!getcwd(buffer, sizeof(buffer))) + die ("Could not get the current working directory"); + git_work_tree_cfg = xstrdup(buffer); inside_work_tree = 1; - return rel; + return NULL; } /* diff --git a/t/t1500-rev-parse.sh b/t/t1500-rev-parse.sh index bea40cb..e474b3f 100755 --- a/t/t1500-rev-parse.sh +++ b/t/t1500-rev-parse.sh @@ -28,6 +28,8 @@ test_rev_parse() { [ $# -eq 0 ] && return } +# label is-bare is-inside-git is-inside-work prefix + test_rev_parse toplevel false false true '' cd .git || exit 1 @@ -53,13 +55,13 @@ export GIT_DIR=../.git export GIT_CONFIG="$(pwd)"/../.git/config git config core.bare false -test_rev_parse 'GIT_DIR=../.git, core.bare = false' false false true work/ +test_rev_parse 'GIT_DIR=../.git, core.bare = false' false false true '' git config core.bare true test_rev_parse 'GIT_DIR=../.git, core.bare = true' true false false '' git config --unset core.bare -test_rev_parse 'GIT_DIR=../.git, core.bare undefined' false false true work/ +test_rev_parse 'GIT_DIR=../.git, core.bare undefined' false false true '' mv ../.git ../repo.git || exit 1 export GIT_DIR=../repo.git -- 1.5.3.rc4.29.g74276 - 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
