From: SZEDER Gábor Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2008 10:37:19 GMT Subject: [RFC/PATCH 1/2] for-each-ref: add new format 'refbasename' Message-ID: <0329f1ab2642e1dab701b5fc6517bfb1b4ea2d46.1220004755.git.szeder@ira.uka.de> fot-each-ref's refname format outputs each ref in its full format, e.g. 'refs/heads/foo' and 'refs/tags/bar'. However, there are tools that need only the last part of the refname, e.g. only 'foo' and 'bar'. Such a tool is git's bash completion script, which spends considerable amount of time removing the unneeded parts from for-each-ref's output. Therefore, we introduce a new for-each-ref format called 'refbasename', which strips everything before and including the second '/' in the ref's name from the output. Signed-off-by: SZEDER Gábor --- I assumed that refs always look like 'refs/{heads,tags,whatever}/foo', hence this patch breaks if a ref might look like 'refs/foo' or just 'foo'. But can I really rely on that? builtin-for-each-ref.c | 5 +++++ 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin-for-each-ref.c b/builtin-for-each-ref.c index 21e92bb..1993ff4 100644 --- a/builtin-for-each-ref.c +++ b/builtin-for-each-ref.c @@ -66,6 +66,7 @@ static struct { { "subject" }, { "body" }, { "contents" }, + { "refbasename" }, }; /* @@ -577,6 +578,10 @@ static void populate_value(struct refinfo *ref) char *s = xmalloc(len + 4); sprintf(s, "%s^{}", ref->refname); v->s = s; + } else if (!strcmp(name, "refbasename")) { + char * p = strchr(ref->refname, '/'); + p = strchr(p+1, '/'); + v->s = p+1; } } -- 1.6.0.1.133.g10dd.dirty
