Add a sequel to tutorial.txt which discusses the index file and the object database. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-22tutorial: expanded discussion of commit historyJ. Bruce Fields
Expand the history-browsing section of the tutorial a bit, in part to address Junio's suggestion that we mention "git grep" and Linus's complaint that people are missing the flexibility of the commandline interfaces for selecting commits. This reads a little more like a collection of examples than a "tutorial", but maybe that's what people need at this point. Signed-off-by: J.

2006-05-22tutorial: replace "whatchanged" by "log"J. Bruce Fields

2006-05-21Elaborate on why ':' is a bad idea in a ref name.Shawn Pearce
With the new cat-file syntax of 'v1.3.3:refs.c' we should mention it as part of the reason why ':' is not permitted in a ref name. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-21Reference git-check-ref-format in git-branch.Shawn Pearce
Its nice to have git-check-ref-format actually get mentioned in git-branch's documentation as the syntax of a ref name must conform to what is described in git-check-ref-format. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* eb/quilt: Implement a --dry-run option to git-quiltimport Implement git-quiltimport
2006-05-19Implement a --dry-run option to git-quiltimportEric W. Biederman
Since large quilt trees like -mm can easily have patches without clear authorship information, add a --dry-run option to make the problem patches easy to find. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-19Implement git-quiltimportEric W. Biederman
Importing a quilt patch series into git is not very difficult but parsing the patch descriptions and all of the other minutia take a bit of effort to get right, so this automates it. Since git and quilt complement each other it makes sense to make it easy to go back and forth between the two. If a patch is encountered that it cannot derive the author from the user is asked.

2006-05-14Add "--branches", "--tags" and "--remotes" options to git-rev-parse.Sean
"git branch" uses "rev-parse --all" and becomes much too slow when there are many tags (it scans all refs). Use the new "--branches" option of rev-parse to speed things up. Signed-off-by: Sean Estabrooks <seanlkml@sympatico.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-05-08Teach git-clean optional <paths>... parameters.Junio C Hamano
When optional paths arguments are given, git-clean passes them to underlying git-ls-files; with this, you can say: git clean 'temp-*' to clean only the garbage files whose names begin with 'temp-'. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

2006-05-06update-index --againJunio C Hamano
After running 'git-update-index' for some paths, you may want to do the update on the same set of paths again. The new flag --again checks the paths whose index entries are are different from the HEAD commit and updates them from the working tree contents. This was brought up by Carl Worth on #git.

2006-05-05core.prefersymlinkrefs: use symlinks for .git/HEADJunio C Hamano
When inspecting a project whose build infrastructure used to assume that .git/HEAD is a symlink ref, core.prefersymlinkrefs in the config file of such a project would help to bisect its history.

2006-05-05Several trivial documentation touch ups.sean
Move incorrect asciidoc level 2 titles back to level 1. Show output of git-name-rev in man page example. Reword sentences that begin with a period (.) in asciidoc numbered lists to work around conversion to man page bug. Mention that git-repack now calls git-prune-packed when the -d option is passed to it. [imap] section headers in the config file example need to be contained in a literal block. imap.pass is the proper config file variable to use, not imap.password.
