git-merge used to use either the --squash,--no-squash, --no-ff,--ff, --no-commit,--commit option, whichever came last in the command line. This lead to some un-intuitive behavior, having git merge --no-commit --no-ff <branch> actually commit the merge. Now git-merge respects --no-commit together with --no-ff, as well as other combinations of the options. However, this broke a selftest in t/t7600-merge.sh which expected to have --no-ff completely override the --squash option, so that git merge --squash --no-ff <branch> fast-forwards, and makes a merge commit; combining --squash with --no-ff doesn't really make sense though, and is now refused by git-merge. The test is adapted to test --no-ff without the preceding --squash, and another test is added to make sure the --squash --no-ff combination is refused. The unexpected behavior was reported by John Goerzen through http://bing.sdebian.org/468568 Signed-off-by: Gerrit Pape <pape@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- On Sun, Mar 02, 2008 at 03:50:46PM -0800, Junio C Hamano wrote: > Gerrit Pape <pape@xxxxxxxxxxx> writes: > > ...

Okay. > Are there other combinations that we should forbid? I don't think so, it's just --squash --no-ff, and maybe --squash --ff, but --ff is the default anyway. The combination --squash --commit doesn't work with the current implementation though, but it might make sense to have the squash committed automatically? git-merge.sh | 17 +++++++++++------ t/t7600-merge.sh | 6 ++++++ 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-merge.sh b/git-merge.sh index 1c123a3..03cd398 100755 --- a/git-merge.sh +++ b/git-merge.sh @@ -37,6 +37,7 @@ use_strategies= allow_fast_forward=t allow_trivial_merge=t +squash= no_commit= dropsave() { rm -f -- "$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD" "$GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG" \ @@ -152,17 +153,21 @@ parse_config () { --summary) show_diffstat=t ;; --squash) - allow_fast_forward=t squash=t no_commit=t ;; + test "$allow_fast_forward" = t || + die "You cannot combine --squash with --no-ff." + squash=t no_commit=t ;; --no-squash) - allow_fast_forward=t squash= no_commit= ;; + squash= no_commit= ;; --commit) - allow_fast_forward=t squash= no_commit= ;; + no_commit= ;; --no-commit) - allow_fast_forward=t squash= no_commit=t ;; + no_commit=t ;; --ff) - allow_fast_forward=t squash= no_commit= ;; + allow_fast_forward=t ;; --no-ff) - allow_fast_forward=false squash= no_commit= ;; + test "$squash" != t || + die "You cannot combine --squash with --no-ff." + allow_fast_forward=f ;; -s|--strategy) shift case " $all_strategies " in diff --git a/t/t7600-merge.sh b/t/t7600-merge.sh index 50c51c8..5d16628 100755 --- a/t/t7600-merge.sh +++ b/t/t7600-merge.sh @@ -419,6 +419,7 @@ test_debug 'gitk --all' test_expect_success 'merge c0 with c1 (no-ff)' ' git reset --hard c0 && + git config branch.master.mergeoptions "" && test_tick && git merge --no-ff c1 && verify_merge file result.1 && @@ -427,6 +428,11 @@ test_expect_success 'merge c0 with c1 (no-ff)' ' test_debug 'gitk --all' +test_expect_success 'combining --squash and --no-ff is refused' ' + test_must_fail git merge --squash --no-ff c1 && + test_must_fail git merge --no-ff --squash c1 +' + test_expect_success 'merge c0 with c1 (ff overrides no-ff)' ' git reset --hard c0 && git config branch.master.mergeoptions "--no-ff" && -- 1.5.4.3 -- 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
