Often, people (including myself) will write emails that can almost be applied with git/import. This changes git/diff and git/import so that things will generally work even when assembling diffs by hand:
1. git/import becomes slightly more lax: ^diff ... ^--- ... will both be detected as the start of a patch. 2. git/diff produces the same format of diff as git/export, starting with paths: --- a/path/to/file +++ b/path/to/file which means that the 'ape/patch -p1' used within git/import will just work. So with this, if you send an email to the mailing list, write up a committable description, and append the output of git/diff to the end of the email, git/import should just work. [this patch was send through the mailing list using the above procedure, and will be committed with git/import to verify that it works as advertised] diff 8c228a123fa0c6062570964011854302bbf57242 uncommitted --- a/sys/src/cmd/git/diff +++ b/sys/src/cmd/git/diff @@ -26,12 +26,16 @@ git/query -c $commit HEAD | subst '^..' } +mntgen /mnt/scratch +bind $branch/tree/ /mnt/scratch/a +bind . /mnt/scratch/b +echo diff `{git/query $commit} uncommitted for(f in `$nl{lsdirty | sort | uniq}){ - orig=$branch/tree/$f - if(! test -f $orig) + cd /mnt/scratch + if(! test -f a/$f) orig=/dev/null - if(! test -f $f) + if(! test -f b/$f) f=/dev/null - diff -u $orig $f + diff -u a/$f b/$f } exit '' --- a/sys/src/cmd/git/import +++ b/sys/src/cmd/git/import @@ -45,7 +45,7 @@ state="body" next } - (state=="headers" || state=="body") && (/^diff/ || /^---[ ]*$/){ + (state=="headers" || state=="body") && (/^diff / || /^--- /){ state="diff" } state=="body" { ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T403f90e3b0509704-Md1cc4902bb399c16511e2f9b Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
