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>
2005-11-09Update howto using-topic-branchesLuck, Tony

As Pasky pointed out, building in templates directory showed list of built template files which was unneeded. This commit also fixes another build annoyance I recently left in by accident. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-08Fix documentation dependency generation.Junio C Hamano
Documentation/Makefile spent a lot of time to generate include dependencies, which was quite noticeable especially during "make clean". Rewrite it to generate just a single dependency file. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-08Documentation: asciidoc formatting fix for git-cvsexportcommit doc.Junio C Hamano
Annoyingly enough, asciidoc wants the same number of '=' on the second line as there are characters on the first line. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-07Introducing: git-cvsexportcommitMartin Langhoff
A script that can replay commits git into a CVS checkout. Tries to ensure the sanity of the operation and supports mainly manual usage. If you are reckless enough, you can ask it to autocommit when everything has applied cleanly. Combined with a couple more scripts could become part of a git2cvs gateway. Should support adds/removes and binary files. Signed-off-by: Martin Langhoff <martin@catalyst.net.nz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-07Documentation: talk about guts of merge in tutorial.Junio C Hamano
While discussing Jon's ASCII art on merge operations with him, I realized that the tutorial stops talking about the plumbing details halfway. So fill in the gory details, and update the examples to use 'git-merge', not 'git-resolve'. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-07Refactored merge options into separate merge-options.txt.Jon Loeliger
Refactored fetch options into separate fetch-options.txt. Made git-merge use merge-options. Made git-fetch use fetch-options. Made git-pull use merge-options and fetch-options. Added --help option to git-pull and git-format-patch scripts. Rewrote Documentation/Makefile to dynamically determine include dependencies.

2005-11-07Set up remotes/origin to track all remote branches.Junio C Hamano
This implements the idea Daniel Barkalow came up with, to match the remotes/origin created by clone by default to the workflow I use myself in my guinea pig repository, to have me eat my own dog food. We probably would want to use either .git/refs/local/heads/* (idea by Linus) or .git/refs/heads/origin/* instead to reduce the local ref namespace pollution.

2005-11-05Documentation: git-fetch/pull updates.Junio C Hamano
We do not accept multiple <refspecs> on one Pull:/Push: line right now (we could lift this tentative workaround for the broken refnames), but we have always accepted multiple such lines, so use that form in the examples and discussion. Also explicitly mention that Octopus is made only with an explicit command line request and never from Pull: lines. Add a couple of cross references. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-05Added a few examples to git-pull man page.Jon Loeliger
Clarified and added notes for pull/push refspecs. Converted to back-ticks for literal text examples. [jc: Also fixed git-pull description that still talked about its calling git-resolve or git-octopus (we do not anymore; instead we just call git-merge). BTW, I am reasonably impressed by how well "git-am -3" applied this patch, which had some conflicts because I've updated the documentation somewhat.] Signed-off-by: Jon Loeliger <jdl@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-11-01Documentation for git-fmt-merge-msgPetr Baudis

2005-11-01Remove 'Previously this command was known as ...' messages.Jon Loeliger
For a 1.0 release, there is no need to maintain the historical "Previously this command was known as..." information on the doc splash page. It is noise; command names should stand on their own now. Signed-off-by: Jon Loeliger <jdl@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-10-31Add examples for git-log documentation and others.Linus Torvalds
I don't think people really follow the links or think very abstractly at all in the first place. So I was thinking more of some explicit examples. I actually think every command should have an example in the man-page, and hey, here's a patch to start things off. Of course, I'm not exactly "Mr Documentation", and I don't know that this is the prettiest way to do this, but I checked that the resulting html and man-page seems at least reasonable. And hey, if the examples look like each other, that's just because I'm also not "Mr Imagination". Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
