韩仰The --contents option can be used with git blame to blame the file as if it had the contents from the specified file. Since 1a3119ed06c8fbb1c00a6aa3615299252575abab ("blame: allow --contents to work with non-HEAD commit"), the --contents option can work with non-HEAD commit. However, if you try to use --contents in a bare repository, you get the following error:
fatal: this operation must be run in a work tree
This is because before trying to generate a fake working tree commit, we always call setup_work_tree. But in a bare repo, work tree is not available. The call to setup_work_tree is used to prepare the reading of the blamed file in the work tree, which isn't neccessary if we are reading the contents from the specific file instead of the file in the work tree.
Add a check in setup_scoreboard to skip setup_work_tree if we are reading from the file specified in --contents.
This enables us to use --contents in a bare repo. This is a nice addtion on top of 1a3119ed06c8fbb1c00a6aa3615299252575abab, having a working tree to use --contents is optional.
Add test for the --contents option with bare repo to the annotate-tests.sh test script.
Signed-off-by: Han Young <hanyang.tony@bytedance.com> --- Before commit 1a3119ed06c8fbb1c00a6aa3615299252575abab using --contents in a bare repo will lead to
fatal: cannot use --contents with final commit object name
even without specify a revision, this is because in a bare repo, HEAD is seem as a passed revision. After 1a3119ed06c8fbb1c00a6aa3615299252575abab, git will try to setup_work_tree as long as --contents is passed. So we still cannot use --contents on a bare repo.
I was comparing files between a bare repo on the server and my local partial cloned repo. It is convenient for me to be able to use --contents option on a bare repo, because the project is very large and would occupy a lot of disk space if fully cloned on local machine.
With this change I can upload my local file to the server and get the blame result without keeping a full clone of the repo on my local machine.
