The old "advice" message explained how to create a branch after going into
a detached HEAD state but didn't make it clear why the user may want to do
so. Also "moving to ... which isn't a local branch" was unclear if it is
complaining, if it is describing the new state, or if it is explaining why
the HEAD is detached (the true reason is the last one).
Give the established phrase 'detached HEAD' first to make it easy for
users to look up the concept in documentation, and briefly describe what
can be done in the state (i.e. play around without having to clean up)
before telling the user how to keep what was done during the temporary
state.
Allow the long description to be hidden by setting advice.detachedHead
configuration to false.
We might want to customize the advice depending on how the commit to check
out was spelled (e.g. instead of "new-branch-name", we way want to say
"topic" when "git checkout origin/topic" triggered this message) in later
updates, but this encapsulates that into a separate function and it should
be a good first step.

When switching to a different commit, we first see the named rev exists
as a commit using lookup_commit_reference_gently(), and set new.path to
a string "refs/heads/" followed by the name the user gave us (but after
taking into special short-hands like @{-1} == "previous branch" and
"@{upstream}" == "the branch we merge with" into account). If the
resulting string names an existsing ref, then we are switching to that
branch (and will be building new commits on top of it); otherwise we are
detaching HEAD at that commit.
When the "master..." syntax is used as a short-hand for "master...HEAD",
we do want to detach HEAD at the merge base. However, on Windows, when
asked if ".git/refs/heads/master..." exists, the filesystem happily says
"it does" when ".git/refs/heads/master" exists.
Work this issue around by first calling check_ref_format(new.path) to see
if the string can possibly be a valid ref under "refs/heads/", before
asking resolve_ref().
We used to run another lookup_commit_reference(rev) even though we know it
succeeded and we have a good commit in new.commit already; this has been
with us from 782c2d6 (Build in checkout, 2008-02-07), the first version we
had "git checkout" implemented in C. Drop it.
Noticed by Alex Riesen.

We should tell ll_merge() that the 3-way merge between stages #2 and #3 is
an outermost merge, not a virtual-ancestor creation.
Back when this code was originally written, users couldn't write custom

Once you resolved conflicts by "git add path", you cannot recreate the
conflicted state with "git checkout -m path", because you lost information
from higher stages in the index when you resolved them.
Since we record the necessary information in the resolve-undo index
extension these days, we can reproduce the unmerged state in the index and
check it out.

When resolving a conflict using "git add" to create a stage #0 entry, or
"git rm" to remove entries at higher stages, remove_index_entry_at()
function is eventually called to remove unmerged (i.e. higher stage)
entries from the index. Introduce a "resolve_undo_info" structure and
keep track of the removed cache entries, and save it in a new index
extension section in the index_state.
Operations like "read-tree -m", "merge", "checkout [-m] <branch>" and
"reset" are signs that recorded information in the index is no longer
necessary. The data is removed from the index extension when operations
start; they may leave conflicted entries in the index, and later user
actions like "git add" will record their conflicted states afresh.

Porcelains may want to make sure their calls to "git checkout" will
reliably fail regardless of the presense of random remote tracking
branches by the new DWIMmery introduced.
Luckily all existing in-tree callers have extra checks to make sure they
feed local branch name when they want to switch, or they explicitly ask to
detach HEAD at the given commit, so there is no need to add this option
for them.
As this is strictly script-only option, do not even bother to document it,
and do bother to hide it from "git checkout -h".

pretty_print_commit() has a bunch of rarely-used arguments, and
introducing more of them requires yet another update of all the call
sites. Refactor most of them into a struct to make future extensions
easier.
The ones that stay "plain" arguments were chosen on the grounds that
all callers put real arguments there, whereas some callers have 0/NULL
for all arguments that were factored into the struct.
We declare the struct 'const' to ensure none of the callers are bitten
by the changed (no longer call-by-value) semantics.

When flipping commits around on topic branches, I often end up doing
this sequence:
* Run "log --oneline next..jc/frotz" to find out the first commit
on 'jc/frotz' branch not yet merged to 'next';
* Run "checkout $that_commit^" to detach HEAD to the parent of it;
* Rebuild the series on top of that commit; and
* "show-branch jc/frotz HEAD" and "diff jc/frotz HEAD" to verify.
Introduce a new syntax to "git checkout" to name the commit to switch to,
to make the first two steps easier. When the branch to switch to is
specified as A...B (you can omit either A or B but not both, and HEAD
is used instead of the omitted side), the merge base between these two
commits are computed, and if there is one unique one, we detach the HEAD
at that commit.
With this, I can say "checkout next...jc/frotz".

When 'frotz' is not a valid object name and not a tracked filename,
we used to complain and failed this command. When there is only
one remote that has 'frotz' as one of its tracking branches, we can
DWIM it as a request to create a local branch 'frotz' forking from
the matching remote tracking branch.

* jk/maint-1.6.3-checkout-unborn:
checkout: do not imply "-f" on unborn branches
|
|
When checkout sees that HEAD points to a non-existent ref,
it currently acts as if "-f" was given; this behavior dates
back to 5a03e7f, which enabled checkout from unborn branches
in the shell version of "git-checkout". The reasoning given
is to avoid the code path which tries to merge the tree
contents. When checkout was converted to C, this code
remained intact.
The unfortunate side effect of this strategy is that the
"force" code path will overwrite working tree and index
state that may be precious to the user. Instead of enabling
"force", this patch uses the normal "merge" codepath for an
unborn branch, but substitutes the empty tree for the "old"
commit.
This means that in the absence of an index, any files in the
working tree will be treated as untracked files, and a
checkout which would overwrite them is aborted. Similarly,
any paths in the index will be merged with an empty entry
as the base, meaning that unless the new branch's content is
identical to what's in the index, there will be a conflict
and the checkout will be aborted.
The user is then free to correct the situation or proceed
with "-f" as appropriate.
This patch also removes the "warning: you are on a branch
yet to be born" message. Its function was to warn the user
that we were enabling the "-f" option. Since we are no
longer doing that, there is no reason for the user to care
whether we are switching away from an unborn branch.

This introduces a --patch mode for git-checkout. In the index usage
git checkout --patch -- [files...]
it lets the user discard edits from the <files> at the granularity of
hunks (by selecting hunks from 'git diff' and then reverse applying
them to the worktree).
We also accept a revision argument. In the case
git checkout --patch HEAD -- [files...]
we offer hunks from the difference between HEAD and the worktree, and
reverse applies them to both index and worktree, allowing you to
discard staged changes completely. In the non-HEAD usage
git checkout --patch <revision> -- [files...]
it offers hunks from the difference between the worktree and
<revision>. The chosen hunks are then applied to both index and
worktree.
The application to worktree and index is done "atomically" in the
sense that we first check if the patch applies to the index (it should
always apply to the worktree). If it does not, we give the user a
choice to either abort or apply to the worktree anyway.

Revert "checkout branch: prime cache-tree fully"
|
|
The logic in 83ae209 (checkout branch: prime cache-tree fully,
2009-04-20) is bogus; checkout can switch branches with a dirty
index and in such a case the tree won't match HEAD.

This makes git checkout know to use the threaded index preloading if it
is enabled in the config file. You need to have
[core]
preloadindex = true
in your config file to see it, and for that feature to make sense your
filesystem needs to be able to do concurrent 'lstat()' lookups, but when
that is the case (especially NFS over a high-latency network), this can
be a noticeable performance win.
But with a low-latency network and at least older Linux NFS clients, this
will clearly potentially cause a lot of lock contention. It may still
speed up the uncached case, but the threading and locking overhead will
result in the cached case likely slowing down.
That was almost certainly fixed by Linux commit fc0f684c2 ("NFS: Remove
BKL from NFS lookup code"), but that one got merged into 2.6.27-rc1, so
older kernel versions than 2.6.27 will not scale very well.
But regardless, it's the right thing to do. If your filesystem doesn't
scale, don't enable index preloading.

When switching to another branch, the earlier code relied on incremental
invalidation of cache-tree entries to degrade it. While it is not wrong
per-se, we know that the resulting index must fully match the branch we
are switching to unless the -m (merge) option is used.
We should simply fully re-prime the cache-tree using the new tree object
in such a case. And for safety, invalidate the cache-tree as a whole in
other cases.
