#!/bin/sh # This shows all log entries that are not already covered by # another ref - i.e. commits that are now accessible from this # ref that were previously not accessible # (see generate_update_branch_email for the explanation of this # command) # Revision range passed to rev-list differs for new vs. updated # branches. # Consider this: # 1 --- 2 --- O --- X --- 3 --- 4 --- N # # O is $oldrev for $refname # N is $newrev for $refname # X is a revision pointed to by some other ref, for which we may # assume that an email has already been generated. # In this case we want to issue an email containing only revisions # 3, 4, and N. Given (almost) by # # git rev-list N ^O --not --all # # The reason for the "almost", is that the "--not --all" will take # precedence over the "N", and effectively will translate to # # git rev-list N ^O ^X ^N # # So, we need to build up the list more carefully. git rev-parse # will generate a list of revs that may be fed into git rev-list. # We can get it to make the "--not --all" part and then filter out # the "^N" with: # # git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v N # # Then, using the --stdin switch to git rev-list we have effectively # manufactured # # git rev-list N ^O ^X # # This leaves a problem when someone else updates the repository # while this script is running. Their new value of the ref we're # working on would be included in the "--not --all" output; and as # our $newrev would be an ancestor of that commit, it would exclude # all of our commits. What we really want is to exclude the current # value of $refname from the --not list, rather than N itself. So: # # git rev-parse --not --all | grep -v $(git rev-parse $refname) # # Get's us to something pretty safe (apart from the small time # between refname being read, and git rev-parse running - for that, # I give up) # # # Next problem, consider this: # * --- B --- * --- O ($oldrev) # \ # * --- X --- * --- N ($newrev) # # That is to say, there is no guarantee that oldrev is a strict # subset of newrev (it would have required a --force, but that's # allowed). So, we can't simply say rev-list $oldrev..$newrev. # Instead we find the common base of the two revs and list from # there. # # As above, we need to take into account the presence of X; if # another branch is already in the repository and points at some of # the revisions that we are about to output - we don't want them. # The solution is as before: git rev-parse output filtered. # # Finally, tags: 1 --- 2 --- O --- T --- 3 --- 4 --- N # # Tags pushed into the repository generate nice shortlog emails that # summarise the commits between them and the previous tag. However, # those emails don't include the full commit messages that we output # for a branch update. Therefore we still want to output revisions # that have been output on a tag email. # # Luckily, git rev-parse includes just the tool. Instead of using # "--all" we use "--branches"; this has the added benefit that # "remotes/" will be ignored as well. # List all of the revisions that were removed by this update, in a # fast-forward update, this list will be empty, because rev-list O # ^N is empty.
