2010-02-12archive documentation: attributes are taken from the tree by defaultJunio C Hamano
By default, git-archive takes attributes from the tree being archived.

Add a bit of explanatory note to tell them how to achieve what they want to do. Noticed-by: Francois Marier Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

When 921177f (Documentation: improve "add", "pull" and "format-patch" examples, 2008-05-07) converted this from enumeration header to displayed text, it failed to adjust for the AsciiDoc's rule to quote backslashes. In displayed text, backslash is shown verbatim, while in enumeration header, we need to double it. We have a similar construct in git-rm.txt documentation, and need to be careful when somebody wants to update it to match the style of the "git add" example.

2010-02-04fast-import: count --max-pack-size in bytesJunio C Hamano
Similar in spirit to 07cf0f2 (make --max-pack-size argument to 'git pack-object' count in bytes, 2010-02-03) which made the option by the same name to pack-objects, this counts the pack size limit in bytes. In order not to cause havoc with people used to the previous megabyte scale an integer smaller than 8192 is interpreted in megabytes but the user gets a warning. Also a minimum size of 1 MiB is enforced to avoid an explosion of pack files. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Acked-by: Shawn O.

2010-02-04git-clean: fix the description of the default behaviorMichael J Gruber
Currently, when called without -n and -f, git clean issues fatal: clean.requireForce not set and -n or -f not given; refusing to clean which leaves the user wondering why force is required when requireForce is not set. Looking up in git-clean(1) does not help because its description is wrong. Change it so that git clean issues fatal: clean.requireForce defaults to true and -n or -f not given; refusing to clean in this situation (and "...set to true..." when it is set) which makes it clearer that an unset config means true here, and adjust the documentation.

2010-02-04make --max-pack-size argument to 'git pack-object' count in bytesNicolas Pitre
The value passed to --max-pack-size used to count in MiB which was inconsistent with the corresponding configuration variable as well as other command arguments which are defined to count in bytes with an optional unit suffix. This brings --max-pack-size in line with the rest of Git. Also, in order not to cause havoc with people used to the previous megabyte scale, and because this is a sane thing to do anyway, a minimum size of 1 MiB is enforced to avoid an explosion of pack files. Adjust and extend test suite accordingly. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

If a blob is larger than the configured big-file-threshold, instead of reading it into a single buffer obtained from malloc, stream it onto the end of the current pack file. Streaming the larger objects into the pack avoids the 4+ GiB memory footprint that occurs when fast-import is processing 2+ GiB blobs. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2010-01-24Documentation: merge: use MERGE_HEAD to refer to the remote branchJonathan Nieder
commit 57bddb11 (Documentation/git-merge: reword references to "remote" and "pull", 2010-01-07) fixed the manual to drop the assumption that the other branch being merged is from a remote repository. Unfortunately, in a few places, to do so it introduced the antecedentless phrase "their versions". Worse, in passages like the following, 'they' is playing two roles. | highlighting changes from both the HEAD and their versions. | | * Look at the diffs on their own. 'git log --merge -p <path>' Using HEAD and MERGE_HEAD nicely assigns terminology to "our" and "their" sides. It also provides the reader with practice using names that git will recognize on the command line.

2010-01-24Documentation: simplify How Merge WorksJonathan Nieder
The user most likely does not care about the exact order of operations because he cannot see it happening anyway. Instead, try to explain what it means to merge two commits into a single tree. While at it: - Change the heading to TRUE MERGE. The entire manual page is about how merges work. - Document MERGE_HEAD. It is a useful feature, since it makes the parents of the intended merge commit easier to refer to. - Do not assume commits named on the 'git merge' command line come from another repository. For simplicity, the discussion of conflicts still does assume that there is only one and it is a branch head. - Do not start list items with `code`. Otherwise, a toolchain bug produces a line break in the generated nroff, resulting in odd extra space.

2010-01-24Documentation: emphasize when git merge terminates earlyJonathan Nieder
A merge-based operation in git can fail in two ways: one that stops before touching anything, or one that goes ahead and results in conflicts. As the 'git merge' manual explains: | A merge is always between the current `HEAD` and one or more | commits (usually, branch head or tag), and the index file must | match the tree of `HEAD` commit (i.e. the contents of the last commit) | when it starts out. Unfortunately, the placement of this sentence makes it easy to skip over, and its formulation leaves the important point, that any other attempted merge will be gracefully aborted, unspoken. So give this point its own section and expand upon it. Probably this could be simplified somewhat: after all, a change registered in the index is just a special kind of local uncommited change, so the second added paragraph is only a special case of the first. It seemed more helpful to be explicit here. Inspired by <http://gitster.livejournal.com/25801.html>.

2010-01-24Documentation: suggest `reset --merge` in How Merge Works sectionJonathan Nieder
The 'merge' manual suggests 'reset' to cancel a merge at the end of the Merge Strategies list. It is more logical to explain this right before explaining how merge conflicts work, so the daunted reader can have a way out when he or she needs it most.
