vcs_info

Hello,

I just found out about vcs_info (http://eseth.org/2010/hg-in-zsh/), I played
with it a little and it looks very nice.

But I was wondering if the following setup is possible. I have
my home directory stored in .git. And in my $HOME I have multiple
other repositories (git, svn, hg, whatever). And it look like this
doesn't play well with each other.

    autoload -Uz vcs_info   
    precmd () { vcs_info }
    PS1='%F{5}[%F{2}%n%F{5}] %F{3}%3~ ${vcs_info_msg_0_}%f%# '

    cd ~
    [miekg] ~  (git)-[master]-% cd ~/src/godns          # correctly show ~

    # go to the git repo of godns
    [miekg] ~/src/godns  (git)-[tsig]-% cd ../go        # correctly show tsig branch of godns

    # go to the hg repo of go itself
    [miekg] ~/src/go  (git)-[master]-% hg id            # shows higher level git, not hg
    c934f6f5fe8b weekly/weekly.2011-09-01

Is there something I can do about this, or should this be considered a bug?

 grtz,

Hi,

It seems by default Git repos have precedence over Hg repos. You can force
the order this way:

zstyle ':vcs_info:*' enable hg bzr svn git


I works fine for me (full setup here:
https://gitorious.org/prso/dotfiles/blobs/master/zsh/conf.d/07_Prompt.sh).

May be it would be better if vcs_info automatically picked the inner repo ?

Ah, that is a nice work around.

Yes, I think so too.

Thanks for your help.

By the way, does anyone know a way to make vcs_info ignore this $HOME repo
without ignoring the nested repositories ? There is a "disable-patterns"
style, but it matches the current working directory, and not the repo root
directory...

I have achieved this by simply using ".config.git" as the git-repository
name for my $HOME. This makes sure, that under no circumstances I check
something into the HOME-git where it does not belong.

Then I used a simple alias:

alias config='GIT_DIR=$HOME/.config.git/ git --work-tree=$HOME'

(This also removes the nested-repository-problem of yours :))

This is not possible.

The detections are run sequentially and not in parallel. And with git
for example, you just ask whether you're in a git-working-directory and
git tells you - you don't traverse the directory tree yourself. So there
is no simple way to do this.

I'm also really not a big fan of ~ in git. Because, you probably don't
track everything and use a lot of ignores. And then "git clean -xdf" is
the new "rm -Rf /"...

It's a nice trick that I always wonder.
Thanks.

Maybe we could add a disable-repo-patterns style, matching the repo root
directory instead of the working directory ? vcs_info is able to use the
relative path in the repo in formats (%S), so one would think it "knows"
about the repo root directory ?

Actually, I have a ~/.gitignore with *. When I want to add a file, I just
force it. I have been using this for years, not accident so far...
