2008-03-03Fix incorrect wording in git-merge.txt.Matthieu Moy
A merge is not necessarily with a remote branch, it can be with any commit. Thanks to Paolo Ciarrocchi for pointing out the problem, and to Nicolas Pitre for pointing out the fact that a merge is not necessarily with a branch head.

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]]]. Bibliographic anchor.

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>

2007-10-30git-merge: document but discourage the historical syntaxJunio C Hamano
Historically "git merge" took its command line arguments in a rather strange order. Document the historical syntax, and also document clearly that it is not encouraged in new scripts. There is no reason to deprecate the historical syntax, as the current code can sanely tell which syntax the caller is using, and existing scripts by people do use the historical syntax.

2007-09-24git-merge: add support for branch.<name>.mergeoptionsLars Hjemli
This enables per branch configuration of merge options. Currently, the most useful options to specify per branch are --squash, --summary/--no-summary and possibly --strategy, but all options are supported. Note: Options containing whitespace will _not_ be handled correctly. Luckily, the only option which can include whitespace is --message and it doesn't make much sense to give that option a default value.

2007-07-13Update git-merge documentation.Jakub Narebski
Add "Configuration" section to describe merge.summary configuration variable (which is mentioned in git-fmt-merge-msg(1) man page, but it is a plumbing command), and merge.verbosity configuration variable (so there is a place to make reference from "Environment Variables" section of git(7) man page) to the git-merge(1) man page. Also describe GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY environment. The configuration variable merge.verbosity and environment variable GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY were introduced in commit 8c3275ab, which also documented configuration variable but not environment variable.

2007-06-07War on whitespaceJunio C Hamano
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

2007-05-25Add a configuration option to control diffstat after mergeAlex Riesen
The diffstat can be controlled either with command-line options (--summary|--no-summary) or with merge.diffstat. The default is left as it was: diffstat is active by default. Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-02-17Convert update-index references in docs to add.Shawn O. Pearce
Since `git add` is the approved porcelain for an end-user to invoke when they want to manipulate the index, porcelain documentation should steer the user to this command rather than the pure plumbing update-index.

2006-12-28Use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable instead.Shawn O. Pearce
Junio rightly pointed out that the --reflog-action parameter was starting to get out of control, as most porcelain code needed to hand it to other porcelain and plumbing alike to ensure the reflog contained the top-level user action and not the lower-level actions it invoked. At Junio's suggestion we are introducing the new set_reflog_action function to all shell scripts, allowing them to declare early on what their default reflog name should be, but this setting only takes effect if the caller has not already set the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable.

2006-11-22git-merge: make it usable as the first class UIJunio C Hamano
This teaches the oft-requested syntax git merge $commit to implement merging the named commit to the current branch. This hopefully would make "git merge" usable as the first class UI instead of being a mere backend for "git pull". Most notably, $commit above can be any committish, so you can say for example: git merge js/shortlog~2 to merge early part of a topic branch without merging the rest of it. A custom merge message can be given with the new --message=<msg> parameter. The message is prepended in front of the usual "Merge ..." message autogenerated with fmt-merge-message.

2005-12-17Examples of resetting.Junio C Hamano
Morten Welinder says examples of resetting is really about recovering from botched commit/pulls. I agree that pointers from commands that cause a reset to be needed in the first place would be very helpful. Also reset examples did not mention "pull/merge" cases.

2005-12-02git-merge documentation: conflicting merge leaves higher stages in indexJunio C Hamano
This hopefully concludes the latest updates that changes the behaviour of the merge on an unsuccessful automerge. Instead of collapsing the conflicted path in the index to show HEAD, we leave it unmerged, now that diff-files can compare working tree files with higher stages.

2005-11-05Documentation: git-fetch/pull updates.Junio C Hamano
We do not accept multiple <refspecs> on one Pull:/Push: line right now (we could lift this tentative workaround for the broken refnames), but we have always accepted multiple such lines, so use that form in the examples and discussion. Also explicitly mention that Octopus is made only with an explicit command line request and never from Pull: lines. Add a couple of cross references. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
