Hello,
I try using git (from git.el, in git-contrib-emacs, downloaded from Git's Web
site) to manage my files.
I can add "Unknown" files, that works (with `a', then my log message, followed
by `C-c C-c'). They get the new status "Uptodate".
However, I cannot *commit* "Modified" files from Emacs (with `c', then my log
message, followed by `C-c C-c'):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Running git commit...
error: css/leuven.css: cannot add to the index - missing --add option?
fatal: Unable to process path css/leuven.css
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Doing the commit "by hand" from the command line (Bash) works:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
git commit css/leuven.css -m "Fix colors."
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
When refreshing the `*git-status*' buffer (with `g'), I see the file as
"Uptodate".
So, something seems wrong with the commit command used by git.el?
I'm reluctant to use Magit, as I loose the interactive ediff feature
(confirmed?), which I'm fond of, but OK...
There I can perfectly stage files and even commit them. But I cannot *push*
them: the command never returns, it never completes its work (stays "git push"
in the modeline).
Once again, that works without any problems from the command line interface...
So, to wrap it up:
- with git.el, I can't commit
- with magit.el, I can't push
Any idea on how to solve the first (my favorite, for getting ediff) or both
problems?
My environment:
- GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2009-10-14 on LENNART-69DE564
(patched)
- Windows XP SP3
- Cygwin 1.7.something
- C:/cygwin/bin/git version 1.7.4
- Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 @ 1.83 GHz
- 2 GB RAM
- files on local C: disk (NTFS)
Best regards,
Seb

Have you tried vc-git that comes bundled with emacs.
C-x v d <git controlled dir> and C-x v C-h within a git controlled
buffer are good places to start.

I can push OK with magit here. Using Ubuntu 10.10. Don't use git.el, so
can help there. You can view git messages in Magit from Magit/Display
git output, or using $. Maybe that will give a hint.
Other bits are:
GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.21.6)
of 2010-09-01 on americium, modified by Debian

Now, yes. But it still does not interest me that much, as there is no
interactive diff, which one tool I really need to compare buffers before
committing.

What's funny for me, though, is the status "added" for a file that has already
been committed several times!?
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
VC backend : Git
Working dir: c:/home/sva/src/web-in-org/
Branch : master
Remote : XXX
Stash : Nothing stashed
./
org/
added +x org/leuven.css
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I could commit the file through `vc-next-action'. That works.
I did not find yet, though, how to push it to the Git repo. But, as I said, I
have fears when I have to commit files which I couldn't compare side-by-side.
I "cannot" read the sequential +/- lines...
Any idea on how to progress on this?
Best regards,
Seb

I use ediff with git all the time.
Put vc-ediff.el (attached with this mail) in the load-path. Add the
following code to .emacs.
Now "x" on a vc-dir would hide update and unregistered files. (It will
only show added/modified files)
"C-x C-v =" on a version controlled buffer would launch ediff window.
I have been using this setup for a while so I know it works. If
something is broken it is possible that I haven't copy/pasted some stuff
from my init file.

C-x v v commits to the local branch. I generally push to the remote repo
from the shell.

This appears to be Magit bug #154 [1], which doesn't appear under
GNU/Linux unless you're doing something unusual.
I use the native Windows build when I'm not on Debian, but since
Cygwin may be different you could try evaluating:
(setq magit-process-connection-type (not magit-process-connection-type))
And if that helps post back with the value of
magit-process-connection-type that worked.
Incidently, if anyone reading this is using Magit on Windows and can
do things that require you to enter a password, I'd like to know how
it's set up.

As a workaround you could use a private key that doesn't require a
password and/or set the GIT_SSH env variable to point to some program
that's capable of asking for one within Magit.

BTW, does using the "vc" backend for Git allow you as well to use exactly the
same key bindings for other backends (SVN, CVS)?

Looks like you are doing `C-x v =' from vc-dir buffer. That's why it is
unable to identify a filename. Use the above command from within
`about.org' buffer - the buffer that is modified.

That's correct. Over the course of years I have used essentially the
same interface/keybinding with cvs, svn, perforce, mercurial, clearcase
and now git. This way I don't have to ever remember the backend specific
commands for committing etc etc.
And it is always a good idea to use packages that come with regular
emacs. I have found vc-git.el satisfactory for my needs.
Btw if you customize `vc-command-messages' to t then you can see what
backend command vc is issuing. This is good way to explore the backend.

Cool, my first non-trivial patch to Magit just got merged.
If anyone still wants to know, the version of Magit in the GitHub
repository now has Ediff support. Press 'e' with the cursor on any
diff.
