Garoth Yeah00:00
gitte You should be in some git tracked local repo.00:00
Garoth Should I be in that?00:00
gitte ~garoth should suffice if you have ~garoth/.git.00:00
Garoth Hmm, ok00:00
gitte But the question is: what did you commit there?00:00
Garoth Ok, this is what I did for my testing00:00
gitte git-clone will only clone committed data.00:00
Garoth I went to Desktop/LeveledSpin, committed everything from there (php files)00:01
Then, I went to ~garoth and did the command00:01
ideas?00:01
gitte What does gitk say in ~garoth?00:02
Garoth Uh, says that there is a commit00:03
With my 5 files00:03
gitte And what does "(cd ~garoth/cloned; gitk)" say?00:04
Garoth Exact same screen00:04
wait, no00:05
sorry, one sec00:05
Yes, same thing00:05
Does this operation work for you?00:06
Interestingly, clone -l . ./folder00:09
copies the entire .git folder into the destination00:09
gitte: well, thanks for your help :)00:10
I'll try and figure it out, I guess.00:10
actually...00:10
gitte Sorry, was away for a few minutes.00:11
Garoth So, I've discovered that it does copy the .git folder00:11
But I just want what I commited... any way to do that?00:11
gitte So, you want just a snapshot?00:12
Garoth Sorry, I guess that is what I want (new to the terms)00:12
gitte I'd use git-archive for that.00:12
Garoth I tried that a bit... kept making blank archives00:13
gitte A clone really clones not just the newest revisions, but the whole history.00:13
Garoth (using it wrong for sure :D )00:13
I see00:13
gitte You are on branch "master", right? (Use git-branch to find out)00:13
Garoth yeah00:13
My only branch00:13
gitte So, what I would do to get such a snapshot:00:14
Garoth :)00:14
gitte git archive master the/path/I/want/it/in/ | tar xvf -00:14
Garoth Hmm00:14
That's an odd command... it takes the files using the archive command and pipes a folder, and the files to the tar command?00:15
"you must specify an archive format"00:15
git archive master ./Desktop/cloned | tar xvf -00:15
git archive --format=tar master ./Desktop/cloned | tar xvf - is correct?00:16
gitte Sorry, I always run the Git version from Git's "next" branch.00:16
Yep.00:16
Garoth Hmm00:16
I... didn't get an archive.00:16
gitte That should give you a snapshot (or detached checkout, or whatever you want to call it) in Desktop/cloned/00:17
Oops.00:17
You have to say ./Desktop/cloned/ (note the trailing slash)00:17
Garoth Oh, I see00:17
argh00:17
I can only export to tracked directories?00:17
gitte Nope.00:18
Garoth git archive --format=tar master ./Desktop/ | tar xvf -00:18
fatal: current working directory is untracked00:18
gitte You can do something like "git archive [...] | (cd /tmp; tar xf -)"00:18
Aren't you in ~gareth?00:18
Garoth Doh :D00:18
→ puzzles joined00:19
Garoth Uh....00:19
Sorry, still not getting anything (and no error)00:19
Command I'm doing: git archive --format=tar master ./Desktop/cloned/ | tar xvf -00:19
Man, I'm horrible at this!00:19
gitte Same error?00:20
Garoth No error00:20
All signs point to it having worked, but no file00:20
gitte Say "Desktop/cloned/", i.e. leave out the "./".00:21
Garoth Oh, ok00:21
Nothing00:21
gitte If there is no output, then your tar did not expand anything (that's what the "v" is for in "xvf")00:21
Try "tvf" instead of "xvf"?00:21
Garoth verbose00:21
gitte Yep.00:22
Garoth Nothing...00:22
Hmm00:22
Any way to check that I have stuff in my repository?00:22
gitte git-ls-tree HEAD00:23
Garoth Comes up blank00:23
What have I done wrong?00:23
gitte git-ls-tree master?00:23
Garoth blank00:23
gitte git show master?00:24
Garoth That makes me think there is nothing in the repository...00:24
gitte Me, too.00:24
Garoth This, though, makes me think there was a commit00:24
commit e4d67ac95c7158d88c45d0e9a825f02be286a3f600:24
Author: Andrei Thorp <garoth@DeepThought.(none)>00:24
Date: Sun May 27 19:25:51 2007 -040000:24
Main commit of the Level00:24
Yadda yadda00:24
Shows the files and their contents after that00:24
gitte Hmm. Strange.00:25
Garoth Shall I try re-committing the file?00:25
"nothing to commit"00:25
gitte Should not be needed, if "git show" does not come up empty.00:25
Garoth Oh well00:27
gitte: thanks a lot for all your tips00:27
I probably made some bad error along the way :)00:27
But I have to go00:28
gitte One more?00:28
Garoth Sure00:28
gitte git ls-tree e4d67ac95c7158d88c45d0e9a825f02be286a3f600:28
Garoth Blank...00:28
Can't explain it.00:28
gitte But "git show" printed a diff?00:28
Garoth I think so...00:28
Let me show it to you.00:28
→ orospakr joined00:29
DraX so the %h abbreviated hashes are 8 characters by default, if there is a conflict will they be longer?00:29
Garoth gitte: http://www.mercenariesguild.net/pastebin/pastebin.php?show=7600:30
tchan how about something simple like: cd ~/garoth && git-archive master > ~/master.tar00:30
Garoth Don't look too close at the code :D00:30
gotta specify a format00:31
gitte Garoth: Seems like you deleted the file:00:31
Garoth Heh00:31
That would do it :D00:31
gitte 10. deleted file mode 10064400:31
Garoth I was under the impression that I deleted it and then put it back, though00:32
But this makes sense....00:32
→ mithro joined00:32
gitte So, git-ls-tree master^ should not come up empty...00:32
Garoth No, not empty00:32
Not sure what it means, but it is not empty.00:32
040000 tree 654dd05be3cacfc5f2eacc5d64479d5a8cd063b8 Desktop00:33
Ok, so how do I get my files back in there?00:33
gitte Means that it contains a directory "Desktop".00:33
Garoth Hmm00:33
That's news to me...00:33
gitte Was the deletion accidental?00:33
"master^" is not the current tip of the branch, but its parent.00:34
Garoth No, I screwed up the commit, wanted to delete it and do a new one00:34
Its still news to me that I added desktop to the repo.00:34
Ok. Can I dump the entire git thing and try again?00:35
Probably a matter of deleting .git, right?00:35
gitte Wait a minute.00:35
Not all is lost.00:35
Garoth Oh?00:35
(revision control to the rescue)00:35
:D00:35
gitte If the last commit was the only one that was bad, you can get back to the state before that with "git reset --hard master^"00:36
Garoth Ok00:36
So I'm back to that state where I have Desktop in my repo for some reason (and nothing else)00:37
gitte Yes.00:37
Garoth Odd...00:37
Ok, so I have some php files in ~garoth/Desktop/LeveledSpin00:38
How can I grab those?00:38
gitte Aren't they in "git ls-tree HEAD" now?00:39
Garoth Oh, so they are00:39
But they aren't in master?00:39
gitte They are now.00:39
With "git reset [...]" you basically undid the last commit.00:40
Garoth Uh...00:40
Yeah...00:40
Spooky, though00:40
I thought I just didn't see them in master...00:40
But there they are.00:40
Ok, great!00:40
:D00:40
Oh, beautiful00:41
And I got them into a tar archive now too!00:41
gitte Congratulations!00:41
Garoth (with: git archive --format=tar master > ~/master.tar)00:41
gitte Well, I think that you will like the user manual...00:41
Garoth Pass it on, maybe I was looking at the wrong one00:42
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html00:42
tchan and from a working local repository, this worked just fine here: cd ~ && git clone ~/garoth new.git00:42
Garoth Is what I've been looking at in confusion00:42
tchan: really...00:42
tchan yup, I just tried it from several copies of local git repos00:43
I have a copy of elinks.git, I did a cd ~ && git-clone ~/elinks.git test.git00:43
Garoth Oh, I see00:43
It copies the entire path, that's interesting00:43
jasam is safe to call remove() with a file that does not exist?00:44
tchan and it created test.git directory and it is a full working elinks.git repo00:44
Garoth Yeah, nice one00:44
Wow, thanks a lot guys!00:44
gitte: thanks man :)00:44
gitte No problem, man :-)00:44
Garoth This is an awesome tool, look forward to learning it more00:44
Every time I think about it though, I think about the brilliance of Linus...00:45
He made this in like a week, wow :D00:45
Anyways, I REALLY need to go work00:45
I've procrastinated studying for my test tomorrow all day :)00:45
See you lads later00:45

jasam gitte, what do you think?00:47
gitte jasam: After my second glass of wine... I think I really should go to bed ;-)00:47
jasam :)00:47
in such case, good night!00:48
gitte ;-)00:49
The idea with temporary files... maybe you should do it with lockfiles?00:49
Just my last 3cents for today...00:49
gitte wishes he were young and foolish again, not asleep at 2am already00:49
jasam :)00:50
I will think about what those lockfiles are...00:50
gitte Basically, the file is created with ".lock" appended to the filename00:50
if it already exists, it will error out.00:51
Once you're done, you "commit" the file. (As in transaction commit)00:51
If not, it is rolled back.00:51
If you die(), it is rolled back.00:51
jasam I just want not care about if file was created or not at the end of the program00:51
just remove it only if exists00:52
I think about you said, I don't understand now00:52
gitte Yeah, the lockfiles do that for you.00:52
Anyway, have to go to bed now... good night everybody.00:53
jasam good night!00:53

swetland possibly a dumb question, but I haven't found an answer in the various docs so far:04:18
if I have a branch where I've committed a bunch of little incremental changes, is there a way to combine those commits into a single commit suitable for submitting upstream as just a single patch?04:19
→ rkaway2 joined04:27
swetland guess I can just format-patch against the target, checkout the target, apply the set of patches with patch, commit the results of that as a unit. not too terrible04:28
or just git diff mainline workingbranch. guess you can do this a bunch of different ways, just not by a oneshot git command (though possibly I've just missed it)04:37
mugwump swetland: get stacked git, you won't look back05:08
swetland I'll have to check it out sometime. I want to start with a solid understanding of the core stuff before adding layers on top. as of 1.5.x the core stuff seems a lot friendlier than when I last looked (1.3ish timeframe?)05:17
mugwump sure. lots of people keep moaning about usability issues. Despite instructions to "get hard" they keep sending usability patches05:18
qiyong how to show all the tags, and switch to one?05:28
another problem05:31
~/linux/linux-2.6> git show 7b7fc708b568a258595e1fa911b930a75ac07b4805:31

Merge: c7a3bd1... 8c34e2d...05:31
Author: Linus Torvalds [email@hidden.address]05:31
Date: Sat Oct 21 10:01:52 2006 -070005:31
Merge branch 'splice' of git://brick.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block05:31
05:31
* 'splice' of git://brick.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block:05:31
[PATCH] Remove SUID when splicing into an inode05:31
[PATCH] Add lockless helpers for remove_suid()05:31
[PATCH] Introduce generic_file_splice_write_nolock()05:31
[PATCH] Take i_mutex in splice_from_pipe()05:31
how to I see the patch: [PATCH] Remove SUID when splicing into an inode ?05:31
how to see that branch?05:32
mugwump ok. wèn ti yī: git-show-refs --tags05:33
qiyong :)05:33
how can you type in è ī05:34
mugwump git-checkout tagname works on git v1.5+05:34
I hit compose ` e05:34
qiyong in your x windows?05:34
mugwump yep05:35
qiyong you can't type in \/ :p05:35
mugwump as in hànyǚ?05:35
qiyong err...05:35
cool05:36
mugwump I got that wrong didn't I05:36
qiyong what is the compose key?05:36
you did you correct05:36
mugwump should have been just hànyǔ05:37
qiyong s/you/it/05:37
mugwump anyway05:37
qiyong oh, yes05:37
mugwump depends on your keyboard map05:37
qiyong what's you map?05:37
mugwump run "xev", and try right alt/win05:37
any key that says "Multi_key" in xev is the one you want05:37
usually you can configure it using, eg, keyboard preferences in gnome05:38
qiyong i don't find multi_key, my right win is super_r05:40
how can you learnt some much chinese?05:41
→ dkagedal joined05:41
mugwump http://mail.pm.org/pipermail/wellington-pm/2005-June/000338.html # more on configuring keyboard, if the keyboard preferences don't give you much joy05:42
qiyong mugwump, how did you learn chinese?05:44
mugwump I live in NZ ... 10% or so Chinese here05:45
qiyong (default us layout doesn't have compose key, right? unless you add "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin")05:46
qiyong wants to move to nz too.05:46
mugwump yes.. the alt-intl layout should have everything on it - http://www.jw-stumpel.nl/stestu.html05:46
qiyong how about the second question?05:48
mugwump, btw, learn to read/write the character, more fun than pinyin05:49
mugwump just use git-log on the commit and search for the description.05:49
qiyong mugwump, then i want to read the diff05:49
git show doesn't work for merge05:49
branch merge05:49
git show only shows descriptions i pasted above05:50
mugwump ok, so the commit is somewhere between 7b7fc70 and the last merge base05:51
you need to find that first05:51
qiyong <mugwump> ok. wèn ti yī: git-show-refs --tags05:51
mugwump eg, look in git-log 7b7fc70 ^`git merge-base 7b7fc70^1 7b7fc70^2`05:52
qiyong git-show-ref <~~ works for me05:52
mugwump (but you don't need to cut history with the merge base like I did)05:52
when you find the patch with the same description, the commit ID will be there05:52
You should find the commit by Jens Axboe, Oct 17 2006 - id 8c34e2d05:53
so then git-show 8c34e2d should show you the patch05:54
you could also find it in gitk by pasting the patch description into the search box and hitting "find"05:54
qiyong i just search twice in git log05:54
mugwump you were searching for "Remove SUID when splicing into an inode" ?05:56
qiyong yes05:57
mugwump so, git-log 7b7fc708, search for "Remove SUID when splicing"... and it appears twice, first in commit 7b7fc70's comment, second in commit 8c34e2d's comment05:59
qiyong git tree merge will result in two comments05:59
for one commit05:59
seems05:59
like hg06:00
mugwump Linus put that summary in the merge commit message himself06:00
he merged this branch: git-log 7b7fc70 ^7b7fc70^106:01
qiyong commit 7b7fc708b568a258595e1fa911b930a75ac07b48 contains no diffs?06:02
what is ^ ?06:02
mugwump see git-rev-parse for meaning of ^06:02
gitster`` Why not do "git log -p --grep='Remove SUID when splicing'"?06:02
mugwump because I didn't know about that, gitster``06:02
:)06:03
gitster`` you do now ;-)06:03
if gitte were still awake, he would say "git show ';/[PATCH] Remove SUID when'"06:04
mugwump wow, interesting rev-parse spec. obviously I haven't read the man page in a while06:04
qiyong why linus made a commit without any diff?06:05
mugwump there was a diff, but it's a merge diff with two parents - gitk will show it06:05
qiyong git show doesn't show it?06:05
mugwump I guess nobody needed that. you couldn't apply it with "patch" anyway06:06
gitster`` If you really want to, you could ask "git show -m -p $that_commit"06:07
mugwump cripes what version of git am I on on this laptop06:07
1.5.0.4, that explains it06:07

tokkee Tali: It took me quite some time to get there ;-)20:42
felipec: What's wrong with repo.or.cz?20:42
felipec tokkee: I cannot do anything?20:43
tokkee felipec: Oh... now I got your real problem... d'oh.20:44
Tali felipec: if the repository does not contain any branch with actual content yet then you can't clone it20:44
felipec: you first have to push some content to it. And don't forget to explicitly name the branches you want to transfer: git push repo branch:branch20:45
felipec Tali: right, that's what I thought I should do... but I'm not sure about the branch:branch part20:46
Tali first the local branch name you want to upload, then after the ":" the name it should get on the remote side20:47
felipec Tali: like master:master ?20:48
Tali exactly :-)20:48
felipec error: unable to create temporary sha1 filename ./objects/tmp_obj_woij8Z: Permission denied20:50
sweet20:50
Tali that does not look good :-(20:50

fhobia ...i did a funky glob with "git add" ..and now i get "fatal: index file open failed (Permission denied)" ..am I hosed ?21:45
spearce fhobia: what does `ls -ld . .git/index .git/index.lock` show? is index.lock present? is index present and at least readable/writable by you? is the directory writable by you?21:46
fhobia ...oh man, it shows --------- for the permissions...i made it 600 and it seems ok now21:47
::fhew:: thanks21:48
spearce sure.21:48
→ gitte joined21:49
fhobia interesting...if i do "git add index*.html" ...it blows up the permissions on the index..i could see how that maybe related..but hmm...21:50

Seitz "git commit" is failing and reporting numerous "trailing whitespace" errors. Can I force "git commit" to commit despite the trailing whitespace?22:42
spearce Seitz: if you really really want to accept that crap, yes: --no-verify22:43
Seitz Thanks, I appreciate the help.22:43
spearce those whitespace errors are being generated by .git/hooks/pre-commit.22:43
Seitz Ah, so this may do more than turn off the whitespace checking. I'll take a look at the "pre-commit" file.22:44
spearce yea, pre-commit also looks for the RCS-style merge conflict markers. a good safety feature.22:44
gitte spearce: Heh, a new "what's in..."...23:22
spearce yea, i figured it was about time.23:40
i'm not having good luck with computers though. i lost a harddrive yesterday and an entire system today. arrgh.23:40
gitte I am sorry to hear that.23:41
Losing a hard drive is bad.23:41
Maybe it's of consolation that I lost _twice_ a RAID, by losing _two_ drives from a RAID-5.23:41
3.7 terabyte went *poof*23:41
spearce i managed to recover about 99% of my data from the failed drive and backups. what email i did lose was sunday's git@vger traffic. not a whole lot, and its all in gmane. ;-)23:41
gitte Yeah, gmane is good.23:42
Except that it makes it too easy for spummers.23:42
spearce yea, that's one risk of raid-5. i had a reseirfs go corrupt on a large array when both spares and one of the main drives died in a raid-5 config. kernel oops'd.23:42
gitte Yep. Same with me.23:42
And I could not even recover anything, because the system was too large.23:42
spearce my latest issue is an older intel p4 won't f'ing boot. i haven't tried to start it in almost a year, but now it won't enable the main board power.23:42
gitte is yearning for ZFS on Linux. *sigh*23:43
DraX gitte: switch to freebsd :)23:43
spearce i've been pretty happy with lvm+xfs, but yea, zfs has some interesting features. ;)23:43
gitte DraX: you don't want to tempt the innocent, do you?23:43
DraX heh23:44
gitte xfs has a subtle bug, last time I checked.23:49
It even led to sporadic git failures...23:49
spearce never seen them myself. but i'm not surprised if there isn't a bug in there somewhere.23:50
gitte I was a happy user of xfs.23:51
Was faster than reiser323:51
DraX: I think I will never switch to FreeBSD, and I'll tell you why:23:51
I really do not like the way BSD licensed software is abducted, exploited and misused.23:52
That's why I stay clear of it.23:52
DraX gitte: I don't like the way the GPL is like united states foreign policy, marching upon the world bringing them ``freedom''23:53
gitte: but i _so_ don't want to have a license argument23:54
gitte DraX: the difference, of course, is that nobody forces you to use GPLed software.23:54
And therefore, you are wrong. It is not at all like US foreign policy.23:54
DraX gitte: nobody forces your world leaders to have what the us declares a ``dictatorship''23:54
gitte DraX: your argument falls down flat.23:54
The people in New Texas did not have a choice.23:55
... and I did not ask you to choose anything different than FreeBSD, did I?23:55
DraX plese23:55
can we not have a license argument?23:56
gitte Uhm.23:56
I did not _want_ to have an argument.23:56
I just stated why I don't like a certain OS myself.23:56
And I reacted to an obviously false comparison.23:56
DraX i don't consider it false but i don't want to argue with you23:56
gitte I certainly did not want to attack _you_.23:57
DraX and i didn't want to argue with you from the beginning23:57
gitte So, since this is the first time that I remember talking to you, let's talk about something enjoyable.23:57
How do you like Git?23:57
DraX how?23:58
gitte Does it compile out of the box on FreeBSD?23:58
DraX mostly23:58
gitte Does it have performance bottlenecks?23:58
What is not working with the compile?23:58
curl?23:58
DraX it actually compiles out of box23:59
but we patch it a bit for stuff like obeying CFLAGS23:59
gitte Ah.23:59
DraX and support for disabling gitk23:59
there are some issues with curl I think but I just use git-daemon23:59
and ssh23:59
gitte Yes, the recent NO_GUI.23:59
