2010-08-18Documentation: add a SEE ALSO section for merge-baseJonathan Nieder
For example, a person reading the merge-base man page might wonder about the fastest way to check if one commit is an ancestor of another (which would require rev-list). Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-07-19git submodule add: Require the new --force option to add ignored pathsJens Lehmann
To make the behavior of "git submodule add" more consistent with "git add" ignored submodule paths should not be silently added when they match an entry in a .gitignore file. To be able to override that default behavior in the same way as we can do that for "git add", the new option "--force" is introduced.

2010-07-15gitmodules.5: url can be a relative pathJonathan Nieder
There is already excellent documentation for this facility in git-submodule.1, but it is not so discoverable. Relative paths in .gitmodules can be useful for serving the same repository over multiple protocols, for example. Thanks to Peter for pointing this out.

Sometimes it is useful to know if a file or directory will be ignored before it is added to the work tree. An example is "git submodule add", where it would be really nice to be able to fail with an appropriate error message before the submodule is cloned and checked out.

2010-07-09Reorganize `git-log' man page to clarify common diff options.Eli Barzilay
This will reduce considerably the common confusion where people miss the `--follow' option, and wonder why `-M'/`-C' is not working. * Move the diff options include to after the log-specific flags, and add a "Common diff options" subtitle before them. (These options apply only when patches are shown, which is not a common use case among newbies, so having them first is confusing.) * Move the `--follow' description to the top of the listed options. The options before that seem less important: `--full-diff' applies only when patches are shown, `--source' and `--decorate' are less useful with many common commit specifications. * Clarify that `--follow' works only for a single path argument.

2010-07-05Documentation: link to gitrevisions rather than git-rev-parseMichael J Gruber
Currently, whenever we need documentation for revisions and ranges, we link to the git-rev-parse man page, i.e. a plumbing man page, which has this along with the documentation of all rev-parse modes. Link to the new gitrevisions man page instead in all cases except - when the actual git-rev-parse command is referred to or - in very technical context (git-send-pack).

2010-07-05git submodule: add submodules with git add -f <path>Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Change `git submodule add' to add the new submodule <path> with `git add --force'. I keep my /etc in .git with a .gitignore that contains just "*". I.e. `git status' will ignore everything that isn't in the tree already. When I do: git submodule add <url> hlagh git-submodule will get as far as checking out the remote repository into hlagh, but it'll die right afterwards when it fails to add the new path: The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files: hlagh Use -f if you really want to add them. fatal: no files added Failed to add submodule 'hlagh' Currently there's no way to add a submodule in this situation other than to remove the ignored path from the .gitignore while I'm at it. That's silly, when you run `git submodule add' you're explicitly saying that you want to add something *new* to the repository. Instead it should just add the path with `git add --force'. Initially I implemented this by adding new -f and --force options to `git submodule add'. But if the --force option isn't supplied it'll get as far as cloning `hlagh', but won't add it. So the first thing the user has to do is to remove `hlagh' and then try again with the --force option. That sucks, it should just add the path to begin with. I can't think of any usecase where you've gone through the trouble of typing out `git submodule add ..', but wish to be overriden by a `gitignore'. The submodule semantics should be more like `git init', not `git add'. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
