Casts from std::string -> cmStdString were high on the list of things
taking up time. Avoid such implicit casts across function calls by just
using std::string everywhere.
The comment that the symbol name is too long is no longer relevant since
modern debuggers alias the templates anyways and the size is a
non-issue since the underlying methods are generated since it's
inherited.
Several major Linux distributions still do not provide Git >= 1.6.5.0 in
their stable package lists. Prior to commit 1173cc4a (Update Git
submodules with --recursive, 2011-02-22) CTest was able to use older Git
versions but simply silently failed to update submodules recursively.
Instead of failing with older Git versions preserve the status quo and
add a warning in the update log. Users testing projects with recursive
submodules may simply update to a Git new enough to support them.
a7319cf ctest_update: Run 'git submodule' at top level
7bf8dc1 ctest_update: Support ".git file" work trees
65cb72f ctest_update: Abort if Git FETCH_HEAD has no candidates
The git submodule porcelain must be executed from the top level of the
work tree. Use 'git rev-parse --show-cdup' to find the top level
relative to the source tree. This is better than searching up the tree
for .git ourselves because it will always work the same way Git does and
thus honors settings like GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM.
Commit c3781efb (Support Git upstream branch rewrites, 2010-06-08)
assumed that ".git/FETCH_HEAD" exists inside the source tree. Fix the
implementation to handle a work tree using a ".git file" to link to its
repository. Use "git rev-parse --git-dir" to locate the real .git dir.
If .git/FETCH_HEAD provides no merge candidate do not attempt to update.
Also log FETCH_HEAD lines as we parse them since they are essentially
output from the git fetch command.
Git's diff-tree format has no '\n'-terminated blank line at the end of
its commit message body block if there are no diff lines. Instead the
message body is terminated by '\0' and there is no diff section. Teach
CTest to parse the format in this case.
Use 'git fetch' followed by 'git reset' to update the source tree. This
is better than 'git pull' because it can handle a rewritten upstream
branch and does not leave local modifications. After fetch, parse
FETCH_HEAD to find the merge head that 'git pull' would choose to track
the upstream branch. Then reset to the selected head.
In the normal fast-forward case the behavior remains unchanged.
However, now local modifications and commits will be erased, and
upstream rewrites are handled smoothly. This ensures that the upstream
branch is tested as expected.
Commit 67277bac (Teach ctest_update about Git submodules, 2010-05-04)
accidentally logged "git submodule update" with the prefixes "pull-out"
and "pull-err". Fix it to use "submodule-out" and "submodule-err"
instead.
Add the <Email>...</Email> element in Update.xml for each commit
reported. This field was defined by Dart but never really used.
Distributed version control systems use author name and email
instead of a user id, so now it makes sense to use this field.
Git does not automatically checkout the matching version of a submodule
when it checks out a new version of the parent project in the work tree.
If the submodule reference changed in the parent project then we were
reporting the submodule path as a local modification. Work around the
problem in ctest_update using "git submodule update" after "git pull".
For projects with no submodules this is a no-op. See issue #10662.
Also add a submodule to the test project for CTest.UpdateGIT to test the
work-around.
We use 'git diff-index' to detect local modifications after pull. On
some filesystems the work tree timestamps of a few files may be dated
after the index, making them appear as locally modified. We address the
problem by using 'git update-index --refresh' to refresh the index and
avoid false local modifications.
Previously we produced commit times formatted like
1261403774 -0500
which is what the Git plumbing prints. Now we use a human-readable
format like
2009-12-21 15:28:06 -0500
which is still easy to machine-parse.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
This creates cmCTestGIT to drive CTest Update handling on git-based work
trees. Currently we always update to the head of the remote tracking
branch (git pull), so the nightly start time is ignored for Nightly
builds. A later change will address this. See issue #6994.
