Linus Torvalds [Fri, 29 Jul 2005 22:50:30 +0000 (15:50 -0700)]
[PATCH] Fix interesting git-rev-list corner case

This corner-case was triggered by a kernel commit that was not in date
order, due to a misconfigured time zone that made the commit appear three
hours older than it was.

That caused git-rev-list to traverse the commit tree in a non-obvious
order, and made it parse several of the _parents_ of the misplaced commit
before it actually parsed the commit itself. That's fine, but it meant
that the grandparents of the commit didn't get marked uninteresting,
because they had been reached through an "interesting" branch.

The reason was that "mark_parents_uninteresting()" (which is supposed to
mark all existing parents as being uninteresting - duh) didn't actually
traverse more than one level down the parent chain.

NORMALLY this is fine, since with the date-based traversal order,
grandparents won't ever even have been looked at before their parents (so
traversing the chain down isn't needed, because the next time around when
we pick out the parent we'll mark _its_ parents uninteresting), but since
we'd gotten out of order, we'd already seen the parent and thus never got
around to mark the grandparents.

Anyway, the fix is simple. Just traverse parent chains recursively.
Normally the chain won't even exist (since the parent hasn't been parsed
yet), so this is not actually going to trigger except in this strange
corner-case.

Add a comment to the simple one-liner, since this was a bit subtle, and I
had to really think things through to understand how it could happen.

   commits and tags contained in them.  Along with the other two

referenced it was much further back in the history.

   mails via applymbox).

   running the script, and emit an appropriate "From:" and
   "Date: " lines to the output.

   author date even for the user's own commit.

 - teach mailinfo to grok not just "From: " but "Date: ".

The patch e-mail output by format-patch starts with the first
line from the original commit message, prefixed with [PATCH],
and optionally a From: line if you are reformatting a patch
obtained from somebody else, a Date: line from the original
commit if (1) --date is specified or (2) for somebody else's
patch, and the rest of the commit message body.

Expected use of this is to move the title line from the commit
to Subject: when sending it via an e-mail, and leave the From:
and the Date: lines as the first lines of your message.

The mailinfo command has been changed to read Date: (in addition
to From: it already understands) and do sensible things when
running applymbox.

Since pull and fetch are done often against the same remote

the name of the head to use in $GIT_DIR/branches/$name makes a
lot of sense.  Adopt that convention from Cogito, and try to be
compatible when possible; storing a partial URL and completing
it with a trailing path may not be understood by Cogito.

While we are at it, fix pulling a tag.  Earlier, we updated only
refs/tags/$tag without updating FETCH_HEAD, and called
resolve-script using a stale (or absent) FETCH_HEAD.
