2007-05-29cvsserver: Note that CVS_SERVER can also be specified as method variableFrank Lichtenheld
Reasonably new versions of the cvs CLI client allow one to specifiy CVS_SERVER as a method variable directly in CVSROOT. This is way more convinient than using an environment variable since it gets saved in CVS/Root. Since I only discovered this by accident I guess there might be others out there that learnt CVS on the 1.11 series (or even earlier) and profit from such a note about cvs improvements in the last couple years.

2007-05-22Teach git-describe how to run name-revShawn O. Pearce
Often users want to know not which tagged version a commit came after, but which tagged version a commit is contained within. This latter task is the job of git-name-rev, but most users are looking to git-describe to do the job. Junio suggested we make `git describe --contains` run the correct tool, `git name-rev`, and that's exactly what we do here. The output of name-rev was adjusted slightly through the new --name-only option, allowing describe to execv into name-rev and maintain its current output format. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-05-21Add an option to git-ls-tree to display also the size of blobJakub Narebski
Add -l/--long option to git-ls-tree command, which displays object size of a blob entry. Object size is placed after object id (left-justified with minimum width of 7 characters). For non-blob entries `-' is used. Rationale: for non-blob entries size of an object has no much meaning, and is not very interesting. Moreover, in planned pack v4 tree objects would be constructed on demand, so tree size would need to be calculated.

2007-05-19user-manual: Add section on ignoring filesJohan Herland
The todo list at the end of the user manual says that something must be said about .gitignore. Also, there seems to be a lack of documentation on how to choose between the various types of ignore files (.gitignore vs. .git/info/exclude, etc.). This patch adds a section on ignoring files which try to introduce how to tell git about ignored files, and how the different strategies complement eachother. The syntax of exclude patterns is explained in a simplified manner, with a reference to git-ls-files(1) which already contains a more thorough explanation.

2007-05-19tutorial: revise index introductionJ. Bruce Fields
The embarassing history of this tutorial is that I started it without really understanding the index well, so I avoided mentioning it. And we all got the idea that "index" was a word to avoid using around newbies, but it was reluctantly mentioned that *something* had to be said. The result is a little awkward: the discussion of the index never actually uses that word, and isn't well-integrated into the surrounding material. Let's just go ahead and use the word "index" from the very start, and try to demonstrate its use with a minimum of lecturing. Also, remove discussion of using git-commit with explicit filenames. We're already a bit slow here to get people to their first commit, and I'm not convinced this is really so important. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
