Can I create a ClearCase branch type without a comment?
I realize I can use an empty comment, but will ClearCase consider that to be the same as no comment? e.g. not display it as an empty line etc.?
e.g. not display it as an empty line
It would still display the branch type (in a cleartool lstype -kind brtype command)
Only a locked -obsolete brtype would not be listed (comment or not)
If the only thing we're worried about is a comment, you can use -nc on the command line and there will be no comment associated with the brtype. If you use the GUI's, the comment field isn't a mandatory one.

Before I write one, are there any tools for idempotent applying LDIFs:
If change type is not specified, add or replace an entry (aka UPSERT) (removing any attributes not mentioned in the LDIF record).
If change type is specified process like normal ldapmodify.
I saw someone suggesting ldapmodify -c, but this is meh :) I want to catch all errors.
I'm writing a new tool. Something like this https://github.com/ip1981/ldapply
Suppose I have the following code in Go:
foo, bar := someFunc(baz)
I would like to create a Vim function to check type of foo or bar when editing a file.
Is there any tool or reliable source of information for functions from Go's packages I could use or? As for the functions declared in the file I'm editing I was thinking about simply parsing all the functions declared in that file.
You are looking for something like godef
If the -t flag is given, the type of the expression will also be
printed. The -a flag causes all the public members (fields and
methods) of the expression, and their location, to be printed also;
the -A flag prints private members too.
I know it is being used by various vim and emacs scripts.
The Go Oracle does this and much more.
vim-go is a complete vim setup for Go.
It includes integration with the previously mentioned godef (as :GoDef) and Go oracle (as :GoImplements, :GoCallees, :GoReferrers, etc) as well as other tools.
How to keep/promote with a multi line comment from the accurev command line?
For example if I try:
accurev stat -n -fl | xargs accurev keep -c "git log 1234..4311"
I simple get the error:
You can not use non-printable characters on the command line: # On
branch master\x0a... AccuRev was unable to understand your command.
I can of course strip out the new lines but then the comment is not really useful.
AccuRev commands that take a -c option for a comment must currently be enclosed in quotes and have no line breaks.
As for the output from git log 1234..4311 that could be captured as a manifest file and kept with the other files.

I'm not sure about doing it directly from the command-line without any extra step, and I'm hesitant to try anything on my client's AccuRev setup. That said, according to the entry on accurev keep from the CLI manual:
–c <comment>
Specify a comment for the transaction. The next command-line argument should be
a quoted string. Alternatively, the next argument can be in the form
#<comment-file>, which uses the contents of text-file <comment-file> as the
comment.
Default: enter a comment interactively, using the text editor named in
environment variable EDITOR (or a system-dependent default editor).
Reading this, I see two ways you can do what you want from the command line (meaning, not using the GUI).
1.) Pipe or cat your stat info into file, the use the #file syntax to get it into your commit
2.) Get your stat into into your clipboard, then don't give an argument to the keep command, let your editor open up, paste, save, and close.
There may be a way to get this all done via CLI without these middle-steps (perhaps you need to format the \x0a into \r\n or something?), but as I said, I'm unwilling to try it on my AccuRev setup as AccuRev gives me (and everyone else) enough trouble as it is.

Running into an issue where I receive a text file that has LF's as the EOL. Sometimes they send the file with CRLF's as the EOL. Does anyone have any good ideas on how I can make SSIS use either one as the EOL?
It's a very easy convert operation with notepad++ to change it to what ever I need, however, it's manual and I want it to be automatic.
Thanks,
EDIT. I fixed it (but not perfect) by using Swiss File Knife before the dataflow.
If the line terminators are always one or the other, I'd suggest setting up 2 File Connection Managers, one with the "CRLF" row delimiter, and the other with the "LF" row delimiter.
Then, create a boolean package variable (something like #IsCrLf) and scope this to your package. Make the first step in your SSIS package a Script Task, in which you read in a file stream, and attempt to discover what the line terminator is (based on what you find in the stream). Set the value of your variable accordingly.
Then, after the Script Task in your Control Flow, create 2 separate Data Flows (one for each File Connection Manager) and use a Precedence Constraint set to "Expression and Constraint" on the connectors to specify which Data Flow to use, depending on the value of the #IsCrLf variable.
Example of the suggested Control Flow below.
how about a derived column with the REPLACE operation after your file source to change the CRLFs to LFs?
I second the OP's vote for Swiss File Knife.
To integrate that, I had to add an Execute Process Task:
However, I have a bunch of packages that run For-Each-File loops, so I needed some BIML - maybe this'll help the next soul.
<ExecuteProcess Name="(EXE) Convert crlf for <#= tableName #>"
Executable="<#= myExeFolder #>sfk.exe">
<Expressions>
<Expression PropertyName="Arguments">
"crlf-to-lf " + #[User::sFullFilePath]
</Expression>
</Expressions>
</ExecuteProcess>
So I found the question about how to view the change history of a file, but the change history of this particular file is huge and I'm really only interested in the changes of a particular method. So would it be possible to see the change history for just that particular method?
I know this would require git to analyze the code and that the analysis would be different for different languages, but method/function declarations look very similar in most languages, so I thought maybe someone has implemented this feature.
The language I'm currently working with is Objective-C and the SCM I'm currently using is git, but I would be interested to know if this feature exists for any SCM/language.
Recent versions of git log learned a special form of the -L parameter:
-L :<funcname>:<file>
Trace the evolution of the line range given by "<start>,<end>" (or the function name regex <funcname>) within the <file>. You may not give any pathspec limiters. This is currently limited to a walk starting from a single revision, i.e., you may only give zero or one positive revision arguments. You can specify this option more than once.
...
If “:<funcname>” is given in place of <start> and <end>, it is a regular expression that denotes the range from the first funcname line that matches <funcname>, up to the next funcname line. “:<funcname>” searches from the end of the previous -L range, if any, otherwise from the start of file. “^:<funcname>” searches from the start of file.
In other words: if you ask Git to git log -L :myfunction:path/to/myfile.c, it will now happily print the change history of that function.
Using git gui blame is hard to make use of in scripts, and whilst git log -G and git log --pickaxe can each show you when the method definition appeared or disappeared, I haven't found any way to make them list all changes made to the body of your method.
However, you can use gitattributes and the textconv property to piece together a solution that does just that. Although these features were originally intended to help you work with binary files, they work just as well here.
The key is to have Git remove from the file all lines except the ones you're interested in before doing any diff operations. Then git log, git diff, etc. will see only the area you're interested in.
Here's the outline of what I do in another language; you can tweak it for your own needs.
Write a short shell script (or other program) that takes one argument -- the name of a source file -- and outputs only the interesting part of that file (or nothing if none of it is interesting). For example, you might use sed as follows:
#!/bin/sh
sed -n -e '/^int my_func(/,/^}/ p' "$1"
Define a Git textconv filter for your new script. (See the gitattributes man page for more details.) The name of the filter and the location of the command can be anything you like.
$ git config diff.my_filter.textconv /path/to/my_script
Tell Git to use that filter before calculating diffs for the file in question.
$ echo "my_file diff=my_filter" >> .gitattributes
Now, if you use -G. (note the .) to list all the commits that produce visible changes when your filter is applied, you will have exactly those commits that you're interested in. Any other options that use Git's diff routines, such as --patch, will also get this restricted view.
$ git log -G. --patch my_file
Voilà!
One useful improvement you might want to make is to have your filter script take a method name as its first argument (and the file as its second). This lets you specify a new method of interest just by calling git config, rather than having to edit your script. For example, you might say:
$ git config diff.my_filter.textconv "/path/to/my_command other_func"
Of course, the filter script can do whatever you like, take more arguments, or whatever: there's a lot of flexibility beyond what I've shown here.
The closest thing you can do is to determine the position of your function in the file (e.g. say your function i_am_buggy is at lines 241-263 of foo/bar.c), then run something to the effect of:
git log -p -L 200,300:foo/bar.c
This will open less (or an equivalent pager). Now you can type in /i_am_buggy (or your pager equivalent) and start stepping through the changes.
This might even work, depending on your code style:
git log -p -L /int i_am_buggy\(/,+30:foo/bar.c
This limits the search from the first hit of that regex (ideally your function declaration) to thirty lines after that. The end argument can also be a regexp, although detecting that with regexp's is an iffier proposition.
git log has an option '-G' could be used to find all differences.
-G Look for differences whose added or removed line matches the
given <regex>.
Just give it a proper regex of the function name you care about. For example,
$ git log --oneline -G'^int commit_tree'
40d52ff make commit_tree a library function
81b50f3 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
7b9c0a6 git-commit-tree: make it usable from other builtins
The correct way is to use git log -L :function:path/to/file as explained in eckes answer.
But in addition, if your function is very long, you may want to see only the changes that various commit had introduced, not the whole function lines, included unmodified, for each commit that maybe touch only one of these lines. Like a normal diff does.
Normally git log can view differences with -p, but this not work with -L.
So you have to grep git log -L to show only involved lines and commits/files header to contextualize them. The trick here is to match only terminal colored lines, adding --color switch, with a regex. Finally:
git log -L :function:path/to/file --color | grep --color=never -E -e "^(^[\[[0-9;]*[a-zA-Z])+" -3
Note that ^[ should be actual, literal ^[. You can type them by pressing ^V^[ in bash, that is Ctrl + V, Ctrl + [. Reference here.
Also last -3 switch, allows to print 3 lines of output context, before and after each matched line. You may want to adjust it to your needs.
Show function history with git log -L :<funcname>:<file> as showed in eckes's answer and git doc
If it shows nothing, refer to Defining a custom hunk-header to add something like *.java diff=java to the .gitattributes file to support your language.
Show function history between commits with git log commit1..commit2 -L :functionName:filePath
Show overloaded function history (there may be many function with same name, but with different parameters) with git log -L :sum\(double:filepath
git blame shows you who last changed each line of the file; you can specify the lines to examine so as to avoid getting the history of lines outside your function.
