2012-12-27Documentation: move diff.wordRegex from config.txt to diff-config.txtLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra2-6/+6
19299a8 (Documentation: Move diff.<driver>.* from config.txt to diff-config.txt, 2011-04-07) moved the diff configuration options to diff-config.txt, but forgot about diff.wordRegex, which was left behind in config.txt. Fix this. Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Acked-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-12-18Documentation: Describe "git diff <blob> <blob>" separatelyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+7
As it was not a common operation, it was described as if it is a side note for the more common two-commit variant, but this mode behaves very differently, e.g. it does not make any sense to ask recursive behaviour, or give the command a pathspec. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-12-18t7004: do not create unneeded gpghome/gpg.conf when GPG is not usedLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
These tests themselves are properly protected by the GPG prerequisite, but one of the set-up steps outside the test_expect_success block unconditionally assumed that there is a gpghome/ directory, which is not true if GPG is not being used. It may be a good idea to move the whole set-up steps in the test but that is a follow-up topic. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-12-16SubmittingPatches: add convention of prefixing commit messagesLibravatar Adam Spiers1-0/+8

2012-12-13index-format.txt: clarify what is "invalid"Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+3
A cache-tree entry with a negative entry count is considered invalid by the current Git; it records that we do not know the object name of a tree that would result by writing the directory covered by the cache-tree as a tree object. Clarify that any entry with a negative entry count is invalid, but the implementations must write -1 there. This way, we can later decide to allow writers to use negative values other than -1 to encode optional information on such invalidated entries without harming interoperability; we do not know what will be encoded and how, so we keep these other negative values as reserved for now.

2012-12-12contrib: update stats/mailmap scriptLibravatar Jeff King1-32/+64
This version changes quite a few things: 1. The original parsed the mailmap file itself, and it did it wrong (it did not understand entries with an extra email key). Instead, this version uses git's "%aE" and "%aN" formats to have git perform the mapping, meaning we do not have to read .mailmap at all, but still operate on the current state that git sees (and it also works properly from subdirs). 2. The original would find multiple names for an email, but not the other way around. This version can do either or both. If we find multiple emails for a name, the resolution is less obvious than the other way around. However, it can still be a starting point for a human to investigate. 3. The original would order only by count, not by recency. This version can do either. Combined with showing the counts, it can be easier to decide how to resolve. 4. This version shows similar entries in a blank-delimited stanza, which makes it more clear which options you are picking from.

2012-12-12.mailmap: normalize emails for Linus TorvaldsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
Linus used a lot of different per-machine email addresses in the early days. This means that "git shortlog -nse" does not aggregate his counts, and he is listed well below where he should be (8th instead of 3rd).

2012-12-12.mailmap: fix broken entry for Martin LanghoffLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Commit adc3192 (Martin Langhoff has a new e-mail address, 2010-10-05) added a mailmap entry, but forgot that both the old and new email addresses need to appear for one to be mapped to the other (i.e., we do not key mailmap emails by name).

2012-12-12.mailmap: match up some obvious names/emailsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+10
This patch updates git's .mailmap in cases where multiple names are matched to a single email. The "master" name for each email was chosen by: 1. If the only difference is in the presence or absence of accented characters, the accented form is chosen (under the assumption that it is the natural spelling, and accents are sometimes stripped in email). 2. Otherwise, the most commonly used name is chosen. 3. If all names are equally common, the most recently used name is chosen.

2012-12-07Merge branch 'jc/same-encoding' into maintLibravatar Junio C Hamano6-4/+13
Various codepaths checked if two encoding names are the same using ad-hoc code and some of them ended up asking iconv() to convert between "utf8" and "UTF-8". The former is not a valid way to spell the encoding name, but often people use it by mistake, and we equated them in some but not all codepaths. Introduce a new helper function to make these codepaths consistent. * jc/same-encoding: reencode_string(): introduce and use same_encoding()

2012-11-29git-fast-import.txt: improve documentation for quoted pathsLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+6
The documentation mentioned only newlines and double quotes as characters needing escaping, but the backslash also needs it. Also, the documentation was not clearly saying that double quotes around the file name were required (double quotes in the examples could be interpreted as part of the sentence, not part of the actual string).

2012-11-29t4049: refocus testsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-11/+9
The primary thing Linus's patch wanted to change was to make sure that 0-line change appears for a mode-only change. Update the first test to chmod a file that we can see in the output (limited by --stat-count) to demonstrate it. Also make sure to use test_chmod and compare the index and the tree, so that we can run this test even on a filesystem without permission bits. Later two tests are about fixes to separate issues that were introduced and/or uncovered by Linus's patch as a side effect, but the issues are not related to mode-only changes. Remove chmod from the tests. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
