2008-02-26filter-branch documentation: non-zero exit status in command abort the filterCaio Marcelo de Oliveira Filho
Since commit 8c1ce0f46b85d40f215084eed7313896300082df filter-branch fails when a <command> has a non-zero exit status. This commit makes it clear in the documentation and also fixes the parent-filter example, that was incorrectly returning non-zero when the commit being tested wasn't the one to be rewritten.

2008-01-31Revert "filter-branch docs: remove brackets so not to imply revision arg is ↵Junio C Hamano
optional" This reverts commit c41b439244c51b30c60953192816afc91e552578, as we decided to default to HEAD when revision parameters are missing and they are no longer mandatory.

2008-01-07Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitDan McGee
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]].

By renaming the macro, we can avoid being matched by the wrong regex. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-10-17fix filter-branch documentationJohannes Schindelin
The man page for filter-branch still talked about writing the result to the branch "newbranch". This is hopefully the last place where the old behaviour was described. Noticed by Bill Lear.

2007-09-14Remove duplicate note about removing commits with git-filter-branchUlrik Sverdrup
A duplicate of an already existing section in the documentation of git-filter-branch was added in commit f95eef15f2f8a336b9a42749f5458c841a5a5d63. This patch removes that redundant section. Signed-off-by: Ulrik Sverdrup <ulrik.sverdrup@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-09-01filter-branch: introduce convenience function "skip_commit"Johannes Schindelin
With this function, a commit filter can leave out unwanted commits (such as temporary commits). It does _not_ undo the changeset corresponding to that commit, but it _skips_ the revision. IOW no tree object is changed by this. If you like to commit early and often, but want to filter out all intermediate commits, marked by "@@@" in the commit message, you can now do this with git filter-branch --commit-filter ' if git cat-file commit $GIT_COMMIT | grep '@@@' > /dev/null; then skip_commit "$@"; else git commit-tree "$@"; fi' newbranch Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-09-01filter-branch: provide the convenience functions also for commit filtersJohannes Schindelin
Move the convenience functions to the top of git-filter-branch.sh, and return from the script when the environment variable SOURCE_FUNCTIONS is set. By sourcing git-filter-branch with that variable set automatically, all commit filters may access the convenience functions like "map".

2007-09-01filter-branch: fix remnants of old syntax in documentationJohannes Schindelin
Some time ago, filter-branch's syntax changed so that more than one ref can be rewritten at the same time. This involved the removal of the ref name for the result; instead, the refs are rewritten in-place. This updates the last leftovers in the documentation to reflect the new behavior.

2007-07-24filter-branch: Big syntax change; support rewriting multiple refsJohannes Schindelin
We used to take the first non-option argument as the name for the new branch. This syntax is not extensible to support rewriting more than just HEAD. Instead, we now have the following syntax: git filter-branch [<filter options>...] [<rev-list options>] All positive refs given in <rev-list options> are rewritten. Yes, in-place. If a ref was changed, the original head is stored in refs/original/$ref now, for your inspecting pleasure, in addition to the reflogs (since it is easier to inspect "git show-ref | grep original" than to inspect all the reflogs). This commit also adds the --force option to remove .git-rewrite/ and all refs from refs/original/ before filtering.
