2013-02-19user-manual: Flesh out uncommitted changes and submodule updatesLibravatar W. Trevor King1-1/+3
If you try and update a submodule with a dirty working directory, you get an error message like: $ git submodule update error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout: ... Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches. Aborting ... Mention this in the submodule notes. The previous phrase was short enough that I originally thought it might have been referring to the reflog note (obviously, uncommitted changes will not show up in the reflog either ;).

2013-02-19user-manual: Use request-pull to generate "please pull" textLibravatar W. Trevor King1-9/+5
Less work and more error checking (e.g. does a merge base exist?). Add an explicit push before request-pull to satisfy request-pull, which checks to make sure the references are publically available. Signed-off-by: W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-19user-manual: Reorganize the reroll sections, adding 'git rebase -i'Libravatar W. Trevor King1-46/+69
I think this interface is often more convenient than extended cherry picking or using 'git format-patch'. In fact, I removed the cherry-pick section entirely. The entry-level suggestions for rerolling are now: 1. git commit --amend 2. git format-patch origin git reset --hard origin ...edit and reorder patches... git am *.patch 3. git rebase -i origin Signed-off-by: W.

2013-02-18user-manual: use 'git config --global user.*' for setupLibravatar W. Trevor King1-5/+13
A simple command line call is easier than spawning an editor, especially for folks new to ideas like the "command line" and "text editors". This is also the approach suggested by 'git commit' if you try and commit without having configured user.name or user.email. Signed-off-by: W.

2013-02-18user-manual: mention 'git remote add' for remote branch configLibravatar W. Trevor King1-27/+13

2013-02-18user-manual: use 'remote add' to setup push URLsLibravatar W. Trevor King1-5/+10

2013-02-12Replace filepattern with pathspec for consistencyLibravatar Matthieu Moy3-8/+8
pathspec is the most widely used term, and is the one defined in gitglossary.txt. <filepattern> was used only in the synopsys for git-add and git-commit, and in git-add.txt. Get rid of it.

2013-02-10user-manual: Fix 'http' -> 'HTTP' typosLibravatar W. Trevor King1-3/+3

2013-02-10user-manual: Fix 'both: so' -> 'both; so' typoLibravatar W. Trevor King1-1/+1

2013-02-01Makefile: explicitly set target name for autogenerated dependenciesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+3
"gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -c -o path/to/file.o" produces a makefile snippet named "depfile" describing what files are needed to build the target given by "-o". When ccache versions before v3.0pre0~187 (Fix handling of the -MD and -MDD options, 2009-11-01) run, they execute gcc -MF depfile -MMD -MP -E instead to get the final content for hashing. Notice that the "-c -o" combination is replaced by "-E". The result is a target name without a leading path. Thus when building git with such versions of ccache with COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES enabled, the generated makefile snippets define dependencies for the wrong target: $ make builtin/add.o GIT_VERSION = 1.7.8.rc3 * new build flags or prefix CC builtin/add.o $ head -1 builtin/.depend/add.o.d add.o: builtin/add.c cache.h git-compat-util.h compat/bswap.h strbuf.h \ After a change in a header file, object files in a subdirectory are not automatically rebuilt by "make": $ touch cache.h $ make builtin/add.o $ Luckily we can prevent trouble by explicitly supplying the name of the target to ccache and gcc, using the -MQ option. Do so.

2013-01-31apply: diagnose incomplete submodule object name betterLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+5
"git am -3" uses this function to build a tree that records how the preimage the patch was created from would have looked like. An abbreviated object name on the index line is ordinarily sufficient for us to figure out the object name the preimage tree would have contained, but a change to a submodule by definition shows an object name of a submodule commit which our repository should not have, and get_sha1_blob() is not an appropriate way to read it (or get_sha1() for that matter). Use get_sha1_hex() and complain if we do not find a full object name there. We could read from the payload part of the patch to learn the full object name of the commit, but the primary user "git rebase" has been fixed to give us a full object name, so this should suffice for now.

2013-01-31apply: simplify build_fake_ancestor()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-14/+12
The local variable sha1_ptr in the build_fake_ancestor() function used to either point at the null_sha1[] (if the ancestor did not have the path) or at sha1[] (if we read the object name into the local array), but 7a98869 (apply: get rid of --index-info in favor of --build-fake-ancestor, 2007-09-17) made the "missing in the ancestor" case unnecessary, hence sha1_ptr, when used, always points at the local array. Get rid of the unneeded variable, and restructure the if/else cascade a bit to make it easier to read. There should be no behaviour change. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-31git-am: record full index line in the patch used while rebasingLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-3/+29
Earlier, a230949 (am --rebasing: get patch body from commit, not from mailbox, 2012-06-26) learned to regenerate patch body from the commit object while rebasing, instead of reading from the rebase-am front-end. While doing so, it used "git diff-tree" but without giving it the "--full-index" option. This does not matter for in-repository objects; during rebasing, any abbreviated object name should uniquely identify them. But we may be rebasing a commit that contains a change to a gitlink, in which case we usually should not have the object (it names a commit in the submodule). A full object name is necessary to later reconstruct a fake ancestor index for them. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-31gpg: close stderr once finished with it in verify_signed_buffer()Libravatar Stephen Boyd1-1/+3
Failing to close the stderr pipe in verify_signed_buffer() causes git to run out of file descriptors if there are many calls to verify_signed_buffer(). An easy way to trigger this is to run git log --show-signature --merges | grep "key" on the linux kernel git repo. Eventually it will fail with error: cannot create pipe for gpg: Too many open files error: could not run gpg. Close the stderr pipe so that this can't happen.
