2005-10-10svn import: Add a loop limit optionMatthias Urlichs
The svn library has a serious memory leak. Added a new option (-l NUM) which causes git-svnimport to exit cleanly after fetching that many changes, in order to . Signed-Off-By: Matthias Urlichs <smurf@smurf.noris.de>
2005-10-10svn import: skip initial revisionsMatthias Urlichs
Add a flag to skip initial revisions: some SVN repositories have initial setup cruft in their logs which we might want to ignore. Signed-Off-By: Matthias Urlichs <smurf@smurf.noris.de>
2005-10-10New: git-svnimport.Matthias Urlichs
As the name suggests, this script imports from SVN. Only "normal" SVN repositories (with single trunk/, branches/, and tags/ subdrectories) are supported. Incremental imports require preserving the file .git/svn2git. Signed-Off-by: Matthias Urlichs <smurf@smurf.noris.de>

2005-10-06Fall back to three-way merge when applying a patch.Junio C Hamano
After git-apply fails, attempt to find a base tree that the patch cleanly applies to, and do a three-way merge using that base tree into the current index, if .dotest/.3way file exists. This flag can be controlled by giving -m flag to git-applymbox command. When the fall-back merge fails, the working tree can be resolved the same way as you would normally hand resolve a conflicting merge. When making commit, use .dotest/final-commit as the log message template. Or you could just choose to 'git-checkout-index -f -a' to revert the failed merge.

2005-10-06Allow "-u" flag to tag signingLinus Torvalds
The current "git tag -s" thing always uses the tagger name as the signing user key, which is very irritating, since my key is under my email address, but the tagger key obviously contains the actual machine name too. Now, I could just use "GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" and force it to be my real email, but I actually think that it's nice to see which machine I use for my work. So rather than force my tagger ID to have to match the gpg key name, just support the "-u" flag to "git tag" instead. It implicitly enables signing, since it doesn't make any sense without it. Thus: git tag -u <gpg-key-name> <tag-name> [<tagged-object>] will use the named gpg key for signing. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-10-03[PATCH] Random documentation fixesJonas Fonseca
The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy: - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on included files. - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional info. - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc. - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text. - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----) for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML block. - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists. - Fix linking to other GIT docs. - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

2005-10-02[PATCH] Update git-clone documentationEric W. Biederman

2005-09-24[PATCH] git-daemon --syslog to log through syslogPetr Baudis
Well, this makes it even more clear that we need the packet reader and friends to use the daemon logging code. :/ Therefore, we at least indicate in the "Disconnect" log message if the child process exitted with an error code or not.

2005-09-23[PATCH] Retitle 'inspecting what happened' section.Jon Loeliger
In the tutorial, there is a section entitled "Checking it out" that shows how to use diff log and whatchanged to insect some of the repository state. As the phrase "checkout" ususally carries some baggage WRT other revision control mechanism, I suggest that we re-title this section something like "Inspecting Changes".

2005-09-22Retire diff-helper.Junio C Hamano
The textual diff generation with built-in '-p' in diff-* brothers has proven to be useful enough that git-diff-helper outlived its usefulness. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-22Retire rev-tree.Junio C Hamano
Some old scripts might still use git-rev-tree, but it really is clearly inferior in every way to git-rev-list that such scripts should be fixed anyway. Fixing them should be pretty easy. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-22Retire git-export.Junio C Hamano
git-export was done as a concept example on how easy it is to export the git data to something else. It's much less powerful than any number of trivial one-liner scripts now, and real exporters would not ever use git-export. It's obviously much less powerful than "git-whatchanged", or just about any combination of git-rev-list + git-diff-tree. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-09-21Fix documentation dependency.Junio C Hamano
Randal L. Schwartz noticed that 'make install' does not rebuild what is installed. Make the 'install' rule depend on 'man'. I noticed also 'touch' of the source files were used to express include dependencies, which is a no-no.

Add -m/--modified to show files that have been modified wrt. the index.

2005-09-16[PATCH] PATCH Documentation/git-rev-list.txt typo fixPeter Hagervall
An earlier commit causes a mismatch in <emphasis> and <superscript> tags, one way of fixing it is having no more than one caret symbol per line, which is the only solution I found in the asciidoc documentation.
