If the user runs git config --global user.name Your Name as suggested, user.name will be set to "Your". With this patch, the suggested command will be git config --global user.name "Your Name" which will set user.name to "Your Name" and hopefully help users avoid the former mistake.

2010-02-23am: remove rebase-apply directory before gcLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+1
When git am does an automatic gc it doesn't clean up the rebase-apply directory until after this has finished. This means that if the user aborts the gc then future am or rebase operations will report that an existing operation is in progress, which is undesirable and confusing.

2010-02-19t1450: fix testcases that were wrongly expecting failureLibravatar Thomas Rast1-8/+8
Almost exactly a year ago in 02a6552 (Test fsck a bit harder), I introduced two testcases that were expecting failure. However, the only bug was that the testcases wrote *blobs* because I forgot to pass -t tag to hash-object. Fix this, and then adjust the rest of the test to properly check the result.

2010-02-19Documentation: Fix indentation problem in git-commit(1)Libravatar Jacob Helwig1-3/+3
Ever since the "See linkgit:git-config[1]..." paragraph was added to the description for --untracked-files (d6293d1), the paragraphs for the following options were indented at the same level as the "See linkgit:git-config[1]" paragraph. This problem showed up in the manpages, but not in the HTML documentation. While this does fix the alignment of the options following --untracked-files in the manpage, the "See linkgit..." portion of the description does not retain its previous indentation level in the manpages, or HTML documentation.

* jk/maint-rmdir-fix: rm: fix bug in recursive subdirectory removal
2010-02-18rm: fix bug in recursive subdirectory removalLibravatar Jeff King2-1/+9
If we remove a path in a/deep/subdirectory, we should try to remove as many trailing components as possible (i.e., subdirectory, then deep, then a). However, the test for the return value of rmdir was reversed, so we only ever deleted at most one level. The fix is in remove_path, so "apply" and "merge-recursive" also are fixed.

2010-02-17docs: don't talk about $GIT_DIR/refs/ everywhereLibravatar Jeff King10-36/+39
It is misleading to say that we pull refs from $GIT_DIR/refs/*, because we may also consult the packed refs mechanism. These days we tend to treat the "refs hierarchy" as more of an abstract namespace that happens to be represented as $GIT_DIR/refs. At best, this is a minor inaccuracy, but at worst it can confuse users who then look in $GIT_DIR/refs and find that it is missing some of the refs they expected to see. This patch drops most uses of "$GIT_DIR/refs/*", changing them into just "refs/*", under the assumption that users can handle the concept of an abstract refs namespace. There are a few things to note: - most cases just dropped the $GIT_DIR/ portion. But for cases where that left _just_ the word "refs", I changed it to "refs/" to help indicate that it was a hierarchy. I didn't do the same for longer paths (e.g., "refs/heads" remained, instead of becoming "refs/heads/"). - in some cases, no change was made, as the text was explicitly about unpacked refs (e.g., the discussion in git-pack-refs). - In some cases it made sense instead to note the existence of packed refs (e.g., in check-ref-format and rev-parse).

2010-02-16dwim_ref: fix dangling symref warningLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+1
If we encounter a symref that is dangling, in most cases we will warn about it. The one exception is a dangling HEAD, as that indicates a branch yet to be born. However, the check in dwim_ref was not quite right. If we were fed something like "HEAD^0" we would try to resolve "HEAD", see that it is dangling, and then check whether the _original_ string we got was "HEAD" (which it wasn't in this case). And that makes no sense; the dangling thing we found was not "HEAD^0" but rather "HEAD". Fixing this squelches a scary warning from "submodule summary HEAD" (and consequently "git status" with status.submodulesummary set) in an empty repo, as the submodule script calls "git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD^0".

2010-02-15stash pop: remove 'apply' options during 'drop' invocationLibravatar Thomas Rast2-2/+14
The 'git stash pop' option parsing used to remove the first argument in --index mode. At the time this was implemented, this first argument was always --index. However, since the invention of the -q option in fcdd0e9 (stash: teach quiet option, 2009-06-17) you can cause an internal invocation of git stash drop --index by running git stash pop -q --index which then of course fails because drop doesn't know --index. To handle this, instead let 'git stash apply' decide what the future argument to 'drop' should be. Warning: this means that 'git stash apply' must parse all options that 'drop' can take, and deal with them in the same way. This is currently true for its only option -q.

It's hard to see the "how to commit" part of this message, which users may want to cut and paste.

This gets rid of the fixed-size buffer and an unchecked sprintf. That sprintf is actually OK as the only variable-sized thing put in it is an abbreviated sha1, which is bounded at 40 characters. However, the next patch will change that to something unbounded. Note that this function now returns an allocated buffer instead of a static one; however, it doesn't matter as the only caller exits immediately.
