Hi Petr,

A few minor cg-log patches outlined below available for you at:
http://git.homelinux.com/cogito


commit ce5e8e645754f3051ce3b3cf87c085544339acef

    Permit cg-log command line options to be given in any order

commit a1c2b474ad39750a07a43ddee2682f5613624652

    Make sure that CC: and From: lines are picked up as a valid
    part of the sign off process and given the proper color

commit 33762f33ee87377c0cfcea51382bad04d7c9ba8d

    Fix cg-log -f option so that a complete list of files is
    displayed when a commit has more than one parent.

    Move the list of files so they're displayed after the
    commit message

    List the files in columns, instead of one big line of comma-
    separated files.

why don't you use diffstat for it? I think that it is more handy then
the list of modified files.

Hi Marcel,

Is a good idea, but would be a fair bit harder to generate unfortunately. 
Right now the blobs themselves don't have to be opened and inspected, just
the commit trees.   Actually, i'm not sure exactly how you'd even go about
generating a correct diffstat for commits that have multiple parents.

I am not a really good git expert, but maybe another option for it would
be fine.

However there is another thing that I am missing. With Bitkeeper I was
able to do something like "bk changes -umarcel" to list all changes done
by the user "marcel". I like to have something similar with cg-log. Any
ideas on how to do that?

Regards

Marcel

Different commit id's shouldn't make much difference w.r.t. conflicts.

> Is there a problem with just using cogito to manage the patches?

No problem if I decide to accept all of your patches.  But that's what I
need to find out by reviewing the patches, and when I have any comments,
I want to point them out easily in the context of the patch.

 From this viewpoint the cumulative patch you've sent is unfortunately
useless - I need it broken to the commits, in separate mails, and either
as text/plain attachments or inline, please.

Nothing like that so far. It should be possible with the ssh protocol
relatively easily, and doable with rsync (although the locking is going
to be pretty be hard).

What should it take in regard? Username portion of the email address?
The email address itself? The realname?

Attached is a new version of cg-log that includes a -u option that takes a
single parameter.   Whatever you put in that parameter will be searched in
the author line, so it can be part or all of an authors name and/or email
address.

So you could do:

cg-log -c -f -u petr

or

cg-log -uxpasky

That sounds great. Could you please post a patch against the current
Cogito's cg-log?

good question. Bitkeeper was only able to handle the user part of the
address. Maybe we can make cg-log a little bit more intelligent. We also
have the author and the committer. My idea would be to use -A for the
author and -C for the committer and maybe -U to search in both. If the
value contains and "@" it should search in the email address part and
otherwise in the username portion. Some regular expression stuff like
"^marcel" (case insensitive) would also be great.

I have no idea how to realize it, but would be thankful for such an
option. It is one of the last pieces that I miss.

Regards

Marcel

Hey Petr,

Sorry it relies on other patches in a series.  If you're interested in
them they're available from:

http://git.homelinux.com/cogito

Actually, if you look you'll see I renamed the option -a and added help so
that it shows up on -h or --help.

Cheers,
Sean

This sounds great.

The reason I put it at the top was to make it more similar to GNU-style
changelogs (if there is such a style).

I think that will make `-f' less usable because of the extra scrolling.

Assuming use of wc will not create more dependency nightmares and the
extra overhead is acceptable here is a patch that will wrap file listing
lines near the 80th column.

You might want to rip it out and submit it, because it's not likely to see
the light of day otherwise.

Yeah, I felt a bit guilty sliding that shift in, really I had no rationale
other than it looked better _to me_.

Your patch will work fine but I did test my version out against the kernel
repo and it didn't seem to be a problem.

I ripped it out and made a patch only with the fix.

Pasky, I also updated the line-wrapping patch if you want it.

I don't feel strong about it. I guess I have just gotten used to it that
way.

Dear diary, on Mon, May 09, 2005 at 01:39:07PM CEST, I got a letter
where Jonas Fonseca <fonseca@diku.dk> told me that...

But that makes no sense, since each merge will have enormous amount of
files listed, making no sense. E.g. each merge of Cogito with Linus will
have all the Cogito files listed, since they aren't in the Linus branch
- but that's wrong, since the merge _to_ the Cogito branch concerns no
Cogito files.

In git, the parents list is unordered. But this is different in Cogito,
where the first parent _is_ special. If you are merging _from_ branch B
_to_ branch A, the order of parents will be always

parent A
parent B

In practice, it does not make too much difference, but this is one of
the cases where it makes difference. So I think the current behaviour is
right.

BTW, this also implies that merges

  A --
      \
  B ---+--

and

  A ---+--
      /
  B --

are considered as different ones by Cogito; in git itself, you might
model that as

  A --.
       >---
  B --'

which is not possible in Cogito. I could imagine doing it by e.g.
passing cg-clone multiple arguments, but I'd have to first see a
compelling real-world usage for this first.

Could we have a trailing comma at the previous line?

Ok, forget the patch then. I was not sure how to handle the multiple parents.

It should already do that ..

But, there are commits (even in your tree) that aren't produced by Cogito.
 And the current logic gets them wrong.

Look at commit:  211232bae64bcc60bbf5d1b5e5b2344c22ed767e in your tree.

The current logic will miss the fact that one of the other parents
altered, git-apply-patch-script.   Seems better to over report, than under
report changes, although I agree that some way must be found to handle the
merge case.

Ok. So you do

A ---+--
    /
B --

and now merge A to B, which results in fast-forward and

A ---+----
    /  \
B --    --

but when doing cg-log in B, the merge is the wrong way around now.

Sean counterexample works too, it's a good thing to maintain
compatibility with git at this one too.

Still, I would like to have the files list separated. What about one
bullet per parent? Like

    * asdf, hjkl, xyzzy
    * hjkl, quux

for a regular two-parents merge.
