This series teaches org-version to include the git version number
information from git describe when running org-mode from a git repository.

The version is reported as dirty if tracked files are modified.

This series is available at git://git.norang.ca/org-mode for-carsten

  Add git version number to org-version information
  Add .dirty to git org-version info if files are modified

Adds the output of 'git describe' to the org-version string if we are running
from a git repository.  This identifies exactly what commit is checked out in
the org-mode git repository when reporting the org-mode version number.

org-version returns something like:

    Org-mode version 6.29trans (release_6.29c.42.g5996)

which shows 6.29trans (somewhere after the last release tag) which
is 42 commits after release_6.29c at git commit 5996.

The git describe information is not included if org mode is not
running from a git repository.

Shows files as modified by appending .dirty to indicate that
you are running org-mode from a dirty working tree (some tracked
files are modified)

I don't know if that will work on Windows (with git).  I've only tested
it on Linux here.  You may want to test drive it before including it.

I have already included it, please test

M-x org-version

on your system and let me know if it causes problems anywhere.

I just did a "make update" on MacOS X 10.5.8 and M-x org-version in  
Aquamacs 2.0pr2 now yields: "release_6.29c.44.ga32e.dirty" (my  
Makefile contains a path modification), according to Bernt's comment  
of commit a5e87a47230030ab4c4bc4521f5af47a7521243a, "44" refers to 44  
commits after "release_6.29c" (neat!). What is the meaning of "ga32e"?

Warm regards,
  Stefan

ga32e - the g stands for 'git' and a32e is the first 4 digits of the
SHA1 for that commit.

git show a32e

will show that commit.

The last part of that comment talks about the ga32e part.

It doesn't work on Windows (at least in my setup.)  My git is from Cygwin and
Windows native Emacs from GNU.

- GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2009-07-30 on SOFT-MJASON
- Windows XP
- Cygwin git version 1.6.1.2

Does it crash and cause an error or report the old org version as before?

It just reports the version as before; no crashing or error of any sort.

Okay that's good.  I don't have Emacs on windows here.  If you have time
to step through the org-version function in debug and figure out where
it fails we might be able to get it working on windows too.

My guess is that determining the location of the .git directory fails so
it acts just like it's not running from a git repository.

What do you get when evaluating the following form?

(file-name-directory (locate-library "org"))

I need to move up one directory from what that returns to see if the
.git directory exists and I append '../' to the path to move up on *nix
systems.  That probably doesn't work for windows.  Maybe there's a
better way to strip off the last directory from the path that
file-name-directory returns.

I'll find out how to do this and let you know the results.

It returns "d:/home/zms/elisp/org-mode.git/lisp/" cd'ing into
"d:/home/zms/elisp/org-mode.git/lisp/.." works in Cygwin but fails in
Windows shell due to front slahes.

Does it break? Or does it just not provide the git information?

It continues to work the way it used to work with no error or breakage.
Although I have reloaded and restarted org a few times, I will report again
after rebooting Emacs.

I had not compiled the latest git and hence an older copy was
getting loaded because of which it kept working without any errors.
Now it returns: "Org-mode version 6.29trans (The system cannot find
the path specified..dirty)" Sorry about that.

When I tried to run the function under debug the *Shell Command
Output* buffer displays this message "The system cannot find the path
specified."  Perhaps this is because of the slashes since Windows
shell does not understand them?  Could we detect if we are on Windows
and use "\" instead of "/"?

Thanks

Can you try evaluating this? and then M-x org-version and report the
results?

(defun org-version (&optional here)
  "Show the org-mode version in the echo area.
With prefix arg HERE, insert it at point."
  (interactive "P")
  (let* ((org-version org-version)
	 (git-version)
	 (dir (file-truename (concat (file-name-directory (locate-library "org")) "../" ))))
    (if (file-exists-p (expand-file-name ".git" dir))
	(progn
	 (shell-command (concat "GITDIR=" dir " && git describe --abbrev=4 HEAD"))
	 (save-excursion
	   (set-buffer "*Shell Command Output*")
	   (goto-char (point-min))
	   (replace-regexp "-" ".")
	   (goto-char (point-min))

	     (setq git-version (concat git-version ".dirty")))

I'm not sure how to determine if we're on windows vs something else.
Any suggestions?

Disclaimer: I touch Windows once a day to check a mail account and
possibly surf the web - other than that, I'm pretty much at sea in it
(and I've never used emacs on Windows, let alone install git on it.)
Please excuse the elementary questions.

How does shell-command work under Windows? What shell is it using?
Is cygwin a prerequisite for it? Is cygwin a prerequisite for git?

Thanks,
Nick

No idea.

Windows has it's own CMD shell (CMD.exe).

Prerequisite for CMD? No.  CMD is native and comes with Windows.

> Is cygwin a prerequisite for git?

Native git on Windows was reported to have issues quite sometime back.  I read
somewhere that the situation is much better now.  Cygwin git has always worked
for me without any issues.

Nick,

You use windows more than me :)  I have no idea what shell it uses - but
if it's the DOS shell the && above is never going to work.

I have GNU Emacs 23.0.91.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2009-02-26 on
LENNART-69DE564 (patched) here which I can try.

I think this version uses the DOS shell and git which is installed on
the system isn't available from this shell.

Maybe I should just disable the git version for now on ms-dos,
windows-nt, and cygwin since I don't know how to make it work reliably
on windows.

Opinions?

-Bernt

Manish,

Thanks! IIUC, there are then multiple forks in the decision tree:

        o running on Windows or on something else?

        o if on Windows, running native or under cygwin?

        o what shell am I using? cmd.exe and bash under cygwin accept
        different syntax - in particular, the GITDIR=foo solution of
        setting env variables has no hope of working under cmd.exe -
        is that correct?

Sounds complicated. Maybe the best solution for now is to punt on
the git information on Windows?

    (when (not (member system-type '(ms-dos windows-nt cygwin)))
          ...add git info...)

What about system-type == "darwin"? Does Bernt's code work there?

Thanks,
Nick

It appears there are very few Windows users on the list so I guess the
effort involved does not benefit a lot of people anyways.  I am okay
if you would like to disable the functionality on Windows.

Yes it'll be complicated.  Right now I think we should punt and just go
back to the old org-version reporting for windows until we can get a
better working solution since the current version breaks on windows.
I'll try to provide a patch for this.

Manish:

What value do you have for system-type?  I expect it says 'windows-nt'

If that's true then the problem is determining if
  - git is installed
    - what version?  Msysgit?  cygwin git?
  - what shells are available (since CMD.exe has little hope of working)
    - msysgit bash
    - cygwin shell
    - cmd (won't work if msysgit was installed with git in the msysgit
           bash shell only)
  - running some other shell (git-bash, cygwin) so the git executable is
    available and provide the right syntax for each to Do The Right
    Thing(tm)

Right now I'm inclined to skip the git-version magic if system-type is
windows-nt just to stop it from breaking on that platform.

If you want to work with me off-list we can pursue this and see if we
can cobble something together that works.

Do we test if git is installed if we are on a non-Windows system or
show whatever error shell returns in case git is not installed?

I tried calling cygwin git from CMD shell and it seems to work okay.
So I am guessing we need to figure out how to correctly pass git
command from Emacs to Windows shell.  I will try to find examples from
Org's PDF processing code.

Sure.  I will share some information/examples if I can find anything
to make it work.

Bernt's code checks for the existence of the .git subdirectory
in the parent directory of wherever emacs get the org.el[c] library:
if it's present, then the assumption is that git is installed.

Well maybe.  I have an older version of Emacs 23 installed on my
windows Eee PC system and I have msysGit installed (not cygwin git) but
it's not available to the shell as a command.  Nothing prevents me from
running org-mode from a git repository there.

It should be, I think.  May be it's not added to PATH environment variable?
You can set it up like so:

1. Right-click on "My Computer", click "Properties"
2. Click on "Advanced" tab
3. Click "Environment Variables" button
4. Add the path to git binary under System or User PATH variable.
5. Restart Emacs and test again.

The msysGit installation gives a choice to include the git executables
in the path or not.  I'm not sure what the current state of that is but
they used to recommend _not_ installing it for cmd.exe so we can't
assume that it's available.

I can probably find the msysgit shell if it's available and run that
instead.

Here are two patches which fix org-version for windows.

This should handle cygwin and msysGit where git is installed for use
by the default Windows command shell.  This does not currently support
msysGit where git is not installed in the user's PATH.

The series is available at git://git.norang.ca/org-mode for-carsten

Bernt Hansen (2):
  Use lisp cd function to change directories to avoid shell
    dependencies
  Skip git-version determination if git command fails

installed in git bash only and not available from cmd.exe in the
user's PATH.

Carsten,

Please do NOT apply these patches yet.  Manish reported a problem with
them on his system.  I'll post improved ones tomorrow.

Thanks,
Bernt

Hi Carsten,

As it turns out these patches are okay.  Manish retested them on his
system today and they work.

Please apply.

Both of these commits are available at git://git.norang.ca/org-mode
for-carsten

Regards,
Bernt

PS: Manish> Thanks for testing!!
