This one is garbage. Why? You ask me to pull from the wrong source. You ask me to pull from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs but that is some random state from January 2014. Two years ago. What you actually *meant* was apparently the "for-linus" branch, since that matches the shortlog and diffstat. But that's not what your pull request asked me to pull. This is not the first time. You seem to either use buggy scripts, or do this (wrong) by hand. Please fix whatever it is, so that I don't have to go look or guess after I notice that I pulled crap.

The thing that generates them takes a branch name as argument; turns out that it (pretty much by accident) treats the missing argument as HEAD. Which tends to give reasonable diffstat and shortlog, so I hadn't spotted the missing check until now. Fixed. BTW, is there any better way to get the current branch name than git branch |sed -ne '/\* /s///p'? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

It _used_ to have somewhat similar issues, especially when the local branch had not made it to the remote point yet, but it should be good now. It actually warns if the remote name you give doesn't contain what the local branch contanis etc. > Fixed. BTW, is there any better way to get the current branch name than > git branch |sed -ne '/\* /s///p'? "git symbolic-ref HEAD" will show what HEAD points to. That's probably what you'd want.. Not that there is anything *wrong* with looking at "git branch" output, but that's really meant to be more human-readable than for scripting.

Very similar bug there - it gives stats for HEAD and URI with no branch name. Might've been fixed in later versions (it's 2.1.4 here - debian-stable) FWIW, the main inconvenience with git request-pull is that it still needs s/gitolite@ra.kernel.org:/git:\/\/git.kernel.org/ postprocessing. It mimics the git push, but the remote you are pushing to probably won't be usable for pulling by others. Looks like it would be useful to have something like pull_url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git to go with url = gitolite@ra.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git in .git/config, settable by something in git remote. OTOH, it's possible to emulate by setting an extra remote and using git push vfs <...> for pushes, while doing git request-pull origin vfs-pull <...> for pull requests... ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Might've been fixed in later versions (it's 2.1.4 here - debian-stable) If you say "no branch name", then it assumes that it's head in your local and remote repositories. So it's expected. It also *should* warn about the fact that the remote repository HEAD does not match. Does it not do that? Anyway, in general, you should always use a branch-name for "git request-pull", since you use branches. The "no branch name" is really only meant for the very original kind of git workflow where you don't use branches at all. Some people still do that (David Miller seems to prefer separate repositories over multiple branches, for example), but it's starting to be unusual. Also, if your local branch is named differently from your remote one, you need to use the same format as you would have done for "git push" to push it out, so you'd do git request-pull remote-repo local-branch-name:remote-branch-name but quite frankly, I wouldn't recommend that workflow. I think it's too prone to mistakes. > FWIW, the main inconvenience with git request-pull is that it still needs > s/gitolite@ra.kernel.org:/git:\/\/git.kernel.org/ postprocessing. So what I always do on all my repositories is that "origin" ends up being the public thing, and then I have a separate set of things I push to. Now, the reason I do that is that pushing is different from pulling, not only because of the whole security thing, but because I push to multiple repos. So my .gti/config looks roughly like this: [remote "origin"] url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master [remote "all"] url = ra.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux url = git@github.com:torvalds/linux.git and that means that when I pull from my own remote (which I actually do when I travel - it's hoe I synchronize my laptop and desktop), I use origin. And when I push, I do "git push all", and it pushes to both kernel.org and to the github "mirror". And a plain "git push" simply won't work, which is fine.

Isn't "pushurl" for that? I have: [remote "origin"] url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tomba/linux.git pushurl = gitolite.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tomba/linux.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* Tomi [-- Attachment #2: OpenPGP digital signature --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 819 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
