2007-03-31cvsserver: Don't lie about binary mode in asciidoc documentationFrank Lichtenheld
The git-cvsserver documentation claims that the server will set -k modes if appropriate which is not really the case. On the other hand the available gitcvs.allbinary variable is not documented at all. Fix both these issues by rewording the related paragraph.

2007-03-29Documentation/git-rev-parse.txt: fix example in SPECIFYING RANGES.Gerrit Pape
Please see http://bugs.debian.org/404795: In git-rev-parse(1), there is an example commit tree, which is used twice. The explanation for this tree is very clear: B and C are commit *parents* to A. However, when the tree is reused as an example in the SPECIFYING RANGES, the manpage author screws up and uses A as a commit *parent* to B and C! I.e., he inverts the tree. And the fact that for this example you need to read the tree backwards is not explained anywhere (and it would be confusing even if it was).

2007-03-19Limit the size of the new delta_base_cacheShawn O. Pearce
The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for caching base objects of deltas. This is not normally meant to be a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to be suitable for almost all workloads. We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters during revision traversal. Since trees tend to be relatively small objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large number of objects. On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200 different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow the entire address space of a 32 bit process. We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache. These are the objects that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize that penalty over the entire data.

2007-03-19user-manual: introduce "branch" and "branch head" differentlyJ. Bruce Fields
I was using "branch" to mean "head", but that's perhaps a little sloppy; so instead start by using the terms "branch head" and "head", while still quickly falling back on "branch", since that's what people actually say more frequently. Also include glossary references on the first uses of "head" and "tag". Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2007-03-19glossary: clean up cross-referencesJ. Bruce Fields

2007-03-19glossary: stop generating automaticallyJ. Bruce Fields
The sort_glossary.pl script sorts the glossary, checks for duplicates, and automatically adds cross-references. But it's not so hard to do all that by hand, and sometimes the automatic cross-references are a little wrong; so let's run the script one last time and check in its output. Note: to make the output fit better into the user manual I also deleted the acknowledgements at the end, which was maybe a little rude; feel free to object and I can find a different solution.

2007-03-19user-manual: run xsltproc without --nonet optionJ. Bruce Fields
The --nonet option prevents xsltproc from going to the network to find anything. But it always tries to find them locally first, so for a user with the necessary docbook stylesheets installed the build will work just fine without xsltproc attempting to use the network; all --nonet does is make it fail rather than falling back on that. That doesn't seem particularly helpful. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2007-03-16git-fetch, git-branch: Support local --track via a special remote '.'Paolo Bonzini
This patch adds support for a dummy remote '.' to avoid having to declare a fake remote like [remote "local"] url = . fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* Such a builtin remote simplifies the operation of "git-fetch", which will populate FETCH_HEAD but will not pretend that two repositories are in use, will not create a thin pack, and will not perform any useless remapping of names. The speed improvement is around 20%, and it should improve more if "git-fetch" is converted to a builtin. To this end, git-parse-remote is grown with a new kind of remote, 'builtin'. In git-fetch.sh, we treat the builtin remote specially in that it needs no pack/store operations. In fact, doing git-fetch on a builtin remote will simply populate FETCH_HEAD appropriately. The patch also improves of the --track/--no-track support, extending it so that branch.<name>.remote items referring '.' can be created. Finally, it fixes a typo in git-checkout.sh.
