Fix error parsing a non-existant configuration file

2009-07-02T23:12:57+00:00

If a file (e.g. ~/.gitconfig) does not exist, we get None here rather than a string. NoneType lacks rstrip() so we cannot strip it. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

Support GIT_EDITOR='vim -c "set textwidth=80"'

2009-07-02T19:45:47+00:00

If there are shell special characters in the editor string, we must use /bin/sh to parse and execute it, rather than trying to rely on a simple split(' '). This avoids vim starting up with two empty buffers, due to a misparsed command line. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

Try to prevent 'repo sync' as a user name

2009-07-02T17:53:04+00:00

When someone copies and pastes a setup line from a web page, they might actually copy 'repo sync' onto the clipboard and wind up pasting it into the "Your Name" prompt. This means they will initialize their client with the user name of "repo sync", creating some rather funny looking commits later on. For example: To setup your source tree: mkdir ~/code cd ~/code repo init -u git://.... repo sync If this entire block was just blindly copy and pasted into the terminal, the shell won't read "repo sync" but "repo init" will. By showing the user their full identity string, and asking them to confirm it before we continue, we can give the hapless user a chance to recover from this mistake, without unfairly harming those who were actually named 'repo' by their parents.

git_config: handle configuration entries with no values

2009-06-29T07:24:36+00:00

A git-config entry with no value was preventing repo from initializing. This modifies _ReadGit() to handle config entries with empty values. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar Reported-by: Josh Guilfoyle

Support detached HEAD in manifest repository

2009-06-25T23:47:30+00:00

If the manifest repository is on a detached HEAD and we are parsing an XML formatted manifest we should simply set the branch property to None, rather than crash with an AttributeError. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

Document any crashes from the user's text editor

2009-06-24T14:15:21+00:00

Rather than failing with no information, display the child exit status and the command line we tried to use to edit a text file. There may be some useful information to help understand the crash. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

Don't crash if the ssh client is already dead

2009-06-16T18:49:10+00:00

If the SSH client terminated abnormally in the background (e.g. the server shutdown while we were doing a sync) then the pid won't exist. Instead of crashing, ignore it, the result we wanted (a non-orphaned ssh process) is already acheived. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce
