2012-08-24Merge branch 'mv/pull-r-for-rebase' into maint-1.7.11Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
A minor documentation update. * mv/pull-r-for-rebase: man: git pull -r is a short for --rebase
2012-08-24Merge branch 'jc/maint-abbrev-option-cli' into maint-1.7.11Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
We did not document that many commands take unique prefix abbreviations of long options (e.g. "--option" may be the only flag that the command accepts that begin with "--opt", in which case you can give "--opt") anywhere easy to find for new people. * jc/maint-abbrev-option-cli: gitcli: describe abbreviation of long options
2012-08-24Merge branch 'jc/maint-rev-list-topo-doc' into maint-1.7.11Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+24
It was unclear what "--topo-order" was really about in the documentation. It is not just about "children before parent", but also about "don't mix lineages". * jc/maint-rev-list-topo-doc: rev-list docs: clarify --topo-order description
2012-08-24Merge branch 'hv/coding-guidelines' into maint-1.7.11Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
In earlier days, "imitate the style in the neibouring code" was sufficient to keep the coherent style, but over time some parts of the codebase have drifted enough to make it ineffective. * hv/coding-guidelines: Documentation/CodingGuidelines: spell out more shell guidelines
2012-08-24Merge branch 'jc/tag-doc' into maint-1.7.11Libravatar Junio C Hamano7-16/+27
Our documentation used to assume having files in .git/refs/* directories was the only to have branches and tags, but that is not true for quite some time. * jc/tag-doc: Documentation: do not mention .git/refs/* directories

2012-08-22contrib/ciabot: Get ciabot configuration from git variablesLibravatar Eric S. Raymond2-118/+156

2012-08-17man: git pull -r is a short for --rebaseLibravatar Miklos Vajna1-0/+1
Letting the "--rebase" option squat on the short-and-sweet single letter option "-r" was an unintended accident and was not even documented, but the short option seems to be already used in the wild. Let's document it so that other options that begin with "r" would not be tempted to steal it. Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Now that git_terminal_prompt can cleanly interact with /dev/tty on Solaris, enable HAVE_DEV_TTY so that this code path is used for credential reading instead of relying on the crippled getpass().

2012-08-06terminal: seek when switching between reading and writingLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
When a stdio stream is opened in update mode (e.g., "w+"), the C standard forbids switching between reading or writing without an intervening positioning function. Many implementations are lenient about this, but Solaris libc will flush the recently-read contents to the output buffer. In this instance, that meant writing the non-echoed password that the user just typed to the terminal. Fix it by inserting a no-op fseek between the read and write. The opposite direction (writing followed by reading) is also disallowed, but our intervening fflush is an acceptable positioning function for that alternative.

2012-08-06Documentation: do not mention .git/refs/* directoriesLibravatar Junio C Hamano7-16/+27
It is an implementation detail that a new tag is created by adding a file in the .git/refs/tags directory. The only thing the user needs to know is that a "git tag" creates a ref in the refs/tags namespace, and without "-f", it does not overwrite an existing tag. Inspired by a report from 乙酸鋰 <ch3cooli@gmail.com>; I think I caught all the existing mention in Documentation/ directory in the tip of 1.7.9.X maintenance track, but we may have added new ones since then.

2012-08-04tests: Introduce test_seqLibravatar Michał Kiedrowicz3-2/+23
Jeff King wrote: The seq command is GNU-ism, and is missing at least in older BSD releases and their derivatives, not to mention antique commercial Unixes. We already purged it in b3431bc (Don't use seq in tests, not everyone has it, 2007-05-02), but a few new instances have crept in. They went unnoticed because they are in scripts that are not run by default. Replace them with test_seq that is implemented with a Perl snippet (proposed by Jeff). This is better than inlining this snippet everywhere it's needed because it's easier to read and it's easier to change the implementation (e.g. to C) if we ever decide to remove Perl from the test suite. Note that test_seq is not a complete replacement for seq(1). It just has what we need now, in addition that it makes it possible for us to do something like "test_seq a m" if we wanted to in the future. There are also many places that do `for i in 1 2 3 ...` but I'm not sure if it's worth converting them to test_seq. That would introduce running more processes of Perl.

2012-07-29t7810-*.sh: Remove redundant testLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-11/+0
Since commit bbc09c22 ("grep: rip out support for external grep", 12-01-2010), test number 60 ("grep -C1 hunk mark between files") is essentially the same as test number 59. Test 59 was intended to verify the behaviour of git-grep resulting from multiple invocations of an external grep. As part of the test, it creates and adds 1024 files to the index, which is now wasted effort. Remove test 59, since it is now redundant.

2012-07-29link_alt_odb_entry: fix read over array bounds reported by valgrindLibravatar Heiko Voigt1-1/+1
pfxlen can be longer than the path in objdir when relative_base contains the path to gits object directory. Here we are interested in checking if ent->base[] (the part that corresponds to .git/objects) is the same string as objdir, and the code NUL-terminated ent->base[] to LEADING PATH\0XX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\0 in preparation for these "duplicate check" step (before we return from the function, the first NUL is turned into '/' so that we can fill XX when probing for loose objects). All we need to do is to compare the string with the path to our object directory. Signed-off-by: Heiko Voigt <hvoigt@hvoigt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-07-25checkout: don't confuse ref and object flagsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When we are leaving a detached HEAD, we do a revision traversal to check whether we are orphaning any commits, marking the commit we're leaving as the start of the traversal, and all existing refs as uninteresting. Prior to commit 468224e5, we did so by calling for_each_ref, and feeding each resulting refname to setup_revisions. Commit 468224e5 refactored this to simply mark the pending objects, saving an extra lookup. However, it confused the "flags" parameter to the each_ref_fn clalback, which is about the flags we found while looking up the ref with the object flag. Because REF_ISSYMREF ("this ref is a symbolic ref, e.g. refs/remotes/origin/HEAD") happens to be the same bit pattern as SEEN ("we have picked this object up from the pending list and moved it to revs.commits list"), we incorrectly reported that a commit previously at the detached HEAD will become unreachable if the only ref that can reach the commit happens to be pointed at by a symbolic ref.

2012-07-24Enumerate revision range specifiers in the documentationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+31
It was a bit hard to learn how <rev>^@, <rev>^! and various other forms of range specifiers are used, because they were discussed mostly in the prose part of the documentation, unlike various forms of extended SHA-1 expressions that are listed in an enumerated list. Also add a few more examples showing use of <rev>, <rev>..<rev> and <rev>^! forms, stolen from a patch by Max Horn. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-07-23commit: document the temporary commit message fileLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
We do not document COMMIT_EDITMSG at all, but users may want to know about it for two reasons: 1. They may want to tell their editor to configure itself for formatting a commit message. 2. If a commit is aborted by an error, the user may want to recover the commit message they typed. Let's put a note in git-commit(1).

2012-07-23mergetool: support --tool-help option like difftool doesLibravatar Junio C Hamano3-5/+49
This way we do not have to risk the list of tools going out of sync between the implementation and the documentation. In the same spirit as bf73fc2 (difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help', 2012-03-29), trim the list of merge backends in the documentation. We do not want to have a complete list of valid tools; we only want a list to help people guess what kind of things the tools do to be specified there, and refer them to --tool-help for a complete list.
