Git has the ability to track the person who
creates a commit separately from the person
who wrote the commit. For git9, we ignored
this feature.
However, as we start using git/import more,
it will be useful to figure out who imported
a commit, as well as who wrote it.
This change adds support for seeing this
information in git, as well as setting the
author and committer separately in git/import.
Git currently gets a bit confused if you try to
manipulate files by absolute path. There were also a
number of places where user-controlled file paths ended
up getting passed to regex interpretation, which could
confuse things.
This change mainly does 2 things:
- Adds a 'drop' function which drops
a non-regex prefix from a string, and uses
that to manipulate paths, simplifies 'subst',
and removes 'subst -g', which was only used
with fixed regexes; sed does this job fine.
- When getting a path from a user, we
make it absolute and then strip out the head
Along the way it cleans up a couple of stupids:
- 'for(f in $list) if(! ~ $#f 0) use $f:
$f can't be a nil list because of
list flattening.
- removes a useless substitution here:
all=`$nl{{git/query -c $1 $2; git/query -c $2 $3} | sed 's/^..//' | \
gsubst '^('$ourbr'|'$basebr'|'$theirbr')/*' | sort | uniq}
where git/query -c doesn't produce
paths prefixed with the query.
