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.
