2005-11-29Documentation: Describe merge operation a bit better.Junio C Hamano
In git-merge documentation, add a section to describe what happens to the index and working tree during merge, and what their cleanliness requirements are before the merge. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-28mailinfo: Do not use -u=<encoding>; say --encoding=<encoding>Junio C Hamano
Specifying the value for a single letter, single dash option parameter with equal sign looked funny, and more importantly calling the flag to override encoding from utf-8 to something else "-u" (obviously abbreviated from "utf-8") did not make any sense. So spell it out. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-27Small fixes in Documentation/git-mv.txtJosef Weidendorfer
The two synopsis lines have to be prefixed with a space so that asciidoc inserts a line break inbetween for the manual page. Signed-off-by: Josef Weidendorfer <Josef.Weidendorfer@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-21daemon: further tweaks.Junio C Hamano
- Do validation only on canonicalized paths - Run upload-pack with "." as repository argument Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-21git-daemon support for user-relative paths.Andreas Ericsson
Dropped a fair amount of reundant code in favour of the library code in path.c Added option --strict-paths with documentation, with backwards compatibility for whitelist entries with symlinks. Everything that worked earlier still works insofar as I have remembered testing it. Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-21tutorial: setting up a tree for subsystem maintainersJunio C Hamano
The "copying over packs" step is to prevent the objects available in upstream repository to get expanted in the subsystem maintainer tree, and is still valid if the upstream repository do not live on the same machine. But if they are on the same machine using objects/info/alternates is cleaner. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-21git-reset.txt: Small fix + clarifications.Andreas Ericsson
This basically translates the man-page from 'git-developerish' to plain english, adding some almost-sample output from git-status so users can recognize what will happen. Also mention explicitly that --mixed updates the index, while --soft doesn't. I understood the old text to mean "--mixed is exactly like --soft, but verbose".

2005-11-20git-config-set: support selecting values by non-matching regexJohannes Schindelin
Extend the regex syntax of value_regex so that prepending an exclamation mark means non-match: [core] quetzal = "Dodo" for Brainf*ck quetzal = "T. Rex" for Malbolge quetzal = "cat" You can match the third line with git-config-set --get quetzal '! for ' Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-20git-config-set: add more optionsJohannes Schindelin
... namely --replace-all, to replace any amount of matching lines, not just 0 or 1, --get, to get the value of one key, --get-all, the multivar version of --get, and --unset-all, which deletes all matching lines from .git/config Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-20Documentation: rebase-from-internal minor updates.Junio C Hamano
git-commit -v flag has been the default for quite some time, so do not mention it. Also a typofix. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-18Update pull/fetch --tags documentationLuck, Tony
When fetching/pulling from a remote repository the "--tags" option can be used to pull tags too. Document that it will limit the pull to only commits reachable from the tags. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-18git-am: --binary; document --resume and --binary.Junio C Hamano
Now git-apply can grok binary replacement patches, give --binary flag to git-am. As a safety measure, this is not by default enabled, so that you do not let malicious e-mailed patch to replace an arbitrary path with just a couple of lines (diff index lines, the filename and string "Binary files "...) by accident. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-17diff: --full-indexJunio C Hamano
A new option, --full-index, is introduced to diff family. This causes the full object name of pre- and post-images to appear on the index line of patch formatted output, to be used in conjunction with --allow-binary-replacement option of git-apply. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-17apply: allow-binary-replacement.Junio C Hamano
A new option, --allow-binary-replacement, is introduced. When you feed a diff that records full SHA1 name of pre- and post-image blob on its index line to git-apply with this option, the post-image blob replaces the path if what you have in the working tree matches the pre-image _and_ post-image blob is already available in the object directory. Later we _might_ want to enhance the diff output to also include the full binary data of the post-image, to make this more useful, but this is good enough for local rebasing application.

2005-11-16git --help COMMAND brings up the git-COMMAND man-page.Andreas Ericsson
It's by design a bit stupid (matching ^git rather than ^git-), so as to work with 'gitk' and 'git' as well. Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-16Update git(7) man-page for the C wrapper.Andreas Ericsson
The program 'git' now has --exec-path which needs explaining. Renamed old "DESCRIPTION" to "CORE GIT COMMANDS" to make room for "OPTIONS" while following follow some sort of convention. Also updated AUTHORS section to pat my own back a bit. Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-15Documentation: do not blindly run 'cat' .git/HEAD, or echo into it.Junio C Hamano
Many places in the documentation we still talked about reading what commit is recorded in .git/HEAD or writing the new head information into it, both assuming .git/HEAD is a symlink. That is not necessarily so. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-13Rename lost+found to lost-found.Junio C Hamano
Because we use "lost-found" as the directory name to hold dangling object names, it is confusing to call the command git-lost+found, although it makes sense and is even cute ;-). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-12Documentation: asciidoc sources are utf-8Junio C Hamano
git-pack-redundant documentation was encoded in latin1, which caused asciidoc to barf, which expected to see utf-8. Run tcs to re-encode it in utf-8. Also just for fun try my name in Japanese in git-lost+found documentation ;-) Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-12Rename .git/lost+found to .git/lost-found.Junio C Hamano
Just to avoid confusion that scripts poorly written by somebody else ;-) might mistake this as a mount point, or backup tools ignoring the directory. The latter is probably not a big loss, however, considering that this directory's contents are to be used while fresh anyway. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-12git-lost+foundJunio C Hamano
This command helps you resurrect accidentally lost tags and commits. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-12Make git-pack-redundant consider alt-odbsLukas_Sandström
This patch changes git-pack-redundant so that packfiles in alternate object directories also are considered when deciding which objects are redundant. This functionality is controlled by the flag '--alt-odb'. Also convert the other flags to the long form, and update docs and git-repack accordingly.

2005-11-12Rename git-pack-intersect to git-pack-redundantLukas_Sandström
This patch renames git-pack-intersect to git-pack-redundant as suggested by Petr Baudis. The new name reflects what the program does, rather than how it does it. Also fix a small argument parsing bug. Signed-off-by: Lukas Sandström <lukass@etek.chalmers.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-12Documentation: git-apply --no-addJunio C Hamano
This is a specialized hack to help no-base merges, but other people might find it useful, so let's document it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-11Change 'cache' to 'index' in the docsLukas_Sandström
This patch makes the documentation refer to the index as index instead of cache, but some references still remain. (e.g. git-update-index.txt) Signed-off-by: Lukas Sandström <lukass@etek.chalmers.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-11git-clone: Keep remote names when cloning unless explicitly told not to.Andreas Ericsson
With this patch the following commands all clone into the local directory "repo". If repo exists, it will still barf. git-clone git://host.xz/repo.git git-clone /path/to/repo/.git git-clone host.xz:repo.git I ended up doing the same source-to-target sed'ing for all our company projects, so it was easier to add it directly to git-clone.

2005-11-11Add --no-commit-id option for git-diff-tree, use it in gitkPavel Roskin
This patch introduces -no-commit-id option for git-diff-tree, which suppresses commit ID output. [jc: dropped gitk part for now.] Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-11Documentation: "host:path/to/repo" is git native over ssh.Junio C Hamano
You could also spell it ssh://host:/path/to/repo (or git+ssh, ssh+git), but without method:// is shorter to type, so mention only that one in the short and sweet list. Noticed by Pasky. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
