[PATCH v4 2/5] set-head: better output for --auto

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

 



Currently, set-head --auto will print a message saying "remote/HEAD set
to branch", which implies something was changed.

Change the output of --auto, so the output actually reflects what was
done: a) set a previously unset HEAD, b) change HEAD because remote
changed or c) no updates.

Notes:
    v1-v2:
    
        was RFC in https://lore.kernel.org/git/20240910203835.2288291-1-bence@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
    
    v3:
    
        This patch was originally sent along when I thought set-head was
        going to be invoked by fetch, but the discussion on the RFC
        concluded that it should be not. This opened the possibility to make
        it more explicit.
    
        Note: although I feel both things the patch does are really just
        cosmetic, an argument could be made for breaking it into two, one
        for the no-op part and one for the --auto print update.
    
        Was sent in:
        https://lore.kernel.org/git/20240915221055.904107-1-bence@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
    
    v4:
        - changes are now handled atomically via the ref update transaction
        - outputs have changed along the lines of Junio's suggestion
        - minor refactor to set_head for improved legibility
