2012-01-10Documentation: rerere's rr-cache auto-creation and rerere.enabledJunio C Hamano
The description of rerere.enabled left the user in the dark as to who might create an rr-cache directory. Add a note that simply invoking rerere does this. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-01-06Documentation: rerere.enabled is the primary way to configure rerereThomas Rast
The wording seems to suggest that creating the directory is needed and the setting of rerere.enabled is only for disabling the feature by setting it to 'false'. But the configuration is meant to be the primary control and setting it to 'true' will enable it; the rr-cache directory will be created as necessary and the user does not have to create it.

2011-09-26git-read-tree.txt: update sparse checkout examplesNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
The negation example uses '*' to match everything. This used to work before 9037026 (unpack-trees: fix sparse checkout's "unable to match directories") because back then, the list of paths is used to match sparse patterns, so with the patterns * !subdir/ subdir/ always matches any path that start with subdir/ and "*" has no chance to get tested. The result is subdir is excluded. After the said commit, a tree structure is dynamically created and sparse pattern matching now follows closely how read_directory() applies .gitignore. This solves one problem, but reveals another one. With this new strategy, "!subdir/" rule will be only tested once when "subdir" directory is examined. Entries inside subdir, when examined, will match "*" and are (correctly) re-added again because any rules without a slash will match at every directory level. In the end, "*" can revert every negation rules. In order to correctly exclude subdir, we must use /* !subdir to limit "match all" rule at top level only. "*" rule has no actual use in sparse checkout and can be confusing to users. While we can automatically turn "*" to "/*", this violates .gitignore definition. Instead, discourage "*" in favor of "/*" (in the second example). Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-09-26mergetool: Use args as pathspec to unmerged filesJonathon Mah
Mergetool now treats its path arguments as a pathspec (like other git subcommands), restricting action to the given files and directories. Files matching the pathspec are filtered so mergetool only acts on unmerged paths; previously it would assume each path argument was in an unresolved state, and get confused when it couldn't check out their other stages. Running "git mergetool subdir" will prompt to resolve all conflicted blobs under subdir.

2011-09-21git-read-tree.txt: correct sparse-checkout and skip-worktree descriptionMichael J Gruber
The description of .git/info/sparse-checkout and skip-worktree is exactly the opposite of what is true, which is: If a file matches a pattern in sparse-checkout, then (it is to be checked out and therefore) skip-worktree is unset for that file; otherwise, it is set (so that it is not checked out). Currently, the opposite is documented, and (consistently) read-tree's behavior with respect to bit flips is descibed incorrectly. Fix it. In hindsight, it would have been much better to have a "sparse-ignore" or "sparse-skip" file so that an empty file would mean a full checkout, and the file logic would be analogous to that of .gitignore, excludes and skip-worktree.

2011-09-06Revert "Merge branch 'cb/maint-quiet-push' into maint"Junio C Hamano
This reverts commit ffa69e61d3c5730bd4b65a465efc130b0ef3c7df, reversing changes made to 4a13c4d14841343d7caad6ed41a152fee550261d. Adding a new command line option to receive-pack and feed it from send-pack is not an acceptable way to add features, as there is no guarantee that your updated send-pack will be talking to updated receive-pack. New features need to be added via the capability mechanism negotiated over the protocol. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-08-30Documentation: clarify effects of -- <path> argumentsThomas Rast
'git log -- <path>' does not "show commits that affect the specified paths" in a literal sense unless --full-history is given (for example, a file that only existed on a side branch will turn up no commits at all!).

2011-08-01propagate --quiet to send-pack/receive-packClemens Buchacher
Currently, git push --quiet produces some non-error output, e.g.: $ git push --quiet Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done. Add the --quiet option to send-pack/receive-pack and pass it to unpack-objects in the receive-pack codepath and to receive-pack in the push codepath.
