A tutorial on object enumeration.
* es/walken-tutorial:
documentation: add tutorial for object walking
|
|
Existing documentation on object walks seems to be primarily intended
as a reference for those already familiar with the procedure. This
tutorial attempts to give an entry-level guide to a couple of bare-bones
object walks so that new Git contributors can learn the concepts
without having to wade through options parsing or special casing.
The target audience is a Git contributor who is just getting started
with the concept of object walking. The goal is to prepare this
contributor to be able to understand and modify existing commands which
perform revision walks more easily, although it will also prepare
contributors to create new commands which perform walks.
The tutorial covers a basic overview of the structs involved during
object walk, setting up a basic commit walk, setting up a basic
all-object walk, and adding some configuration changes to both walk
types. It intentionally does not cover how to create new commands or
search for options from the command line or gitconfigs.
There is an associated patchset at
https://github.com/nasamuffin/git/tree/revwalk that contains a reference
implementation of the code generated by this tutorial.

Start using DocBook 5 (instead of DocBook 4.5) as Asciidoctor 2.0
no longer works with the older one.
* bc/doc-use-docbook-5:
Documentation: fix build with Asciidoctor 2
|
|
Update support for Asciidoctor documentation toolchain.
* ma/asciidoctor-refmiscinfo:
doc-diff: replace --cut-header-footer with --cut-footer
asciidoctor-extensions: provide `<refmiscinfo/>`
Doc/Makefile: give mansource/-version/-manual attributes
|
|
Rather than hardcoding "Git Manual" and "Git" as the manual and source
in asciidoc.conf, provide them as attributes `manmanual` and
`mansource`. Rename the `git_version` attribute to `manversion`.
These new attribute names are not arbitrary, see, e.g., [1].
For AsciiDoc (8.6.10) and Asciidoctor <1.5.7, this is a no-op. Starting
with Asciidoctor 1.5.7, `manmanual` and `mansource` actually end up in
the xml-files and eventually in the rendered manpages. In particular,
the manpage headers now render just as with AsciiDoc.
No versions of Asciidoctor pick up the `manversion` [2], and older
versions don't pick up any of these attributes. -- We'll fix that with a
bit of a hack in the next commit.

Our documentation toolchain has traditionally been built around DocBook
4.5. This version of DocBook is the last DTD-based version of DocBook.
In 2009, DocBook 5 was introduced using namespaces and its syntax is
expressed in RELAX NG, which is more expressive and allows a wider
variety of syntax forms.
Asciidoctor, one of the alternatives for building our documentation,
moved support for DocBook 4.5 out of core in its recent 2.0 release and
now only supports DocBook 5 in the main release. The DocBoook 4.5
converter is still available as a separate component, but this is not
available in most distro packages. This would not be a problem but for
the fact that we use xmlto, which is still stuck in the DocBook 4.5 era.
xmlto performs DTD validation as part of the build process. This is not
problematic for DocBook 4.5, which has a valid DTD, but it clearly
cannot work for DocBook 5, since no DTD can adequately express its full
syntax. In addition, even if xmlto did support RELAX NG validation,
that wouldn't be sufficient because it uses the libxml2-based xmllint to
do so, which has known problems with validating interleaves in RELAX NG.
Fortunately, there's an easy way forward: ask Asciidoctor to use its
DocBook 5 backend and tell xmlto to skip validation. Asciidoctor has
supported DocBook 5 since v0.1.4 in 2013 and xmlto has supported
skipping validation for probably longer than that.
We also need to teach xmlto how to use the namespaced DocBook XSLT
stylesheets instead of the non-namespaced ones it usually uses.
Normally these stylesheets are interchangeable, but the non-namespaced
ones have a bug that causes them not to strip whitespace automatically
from certain elements when namespaces are in use. This results in
additional whitespace at the beginning of list elements, which is
jarring and unsightly.
We can do this by passing a custom stylesheet with the -x option that
simply imports the namespaced stylesheets via a URL. Any system with
support for XML catalogs will automatically look this URL up and
reference a local copy instead without us having to know where this
local copy is located. We know that anyone using xmlto will already
have catalogs set up properly since the DocBook 4.5 DTD used during
validation is also looked up via catalogs. All major Linux
distributions distribute the necessary stylesheets and have built-in
catalog support, and Homebrew does as well, albeit with a requirement to
set an environment variable to enable catalog support.
On the off chance that someone lacks support for catalogs, it is
possible for xmlto (via xmllint) to download the stylesheets from the
URLs in question, although this will likely perform poorly enough to
attract attention. People still have the option of using the prebuilt
documentation that we ship, so happily this should not be an impediment.
Finally, we need to filter out some messages from other stylesheets that
occur when invoking dblatex in the CI job. This tool strips namespaces
much like the unnamespaced DocBook stylesheets and prints similar
messages. If we permit these messages to be printed to standard error,
our documentation CI job will fail because we check standard error for
unexpected output. Due to dblatex's reliance on Python 2, we may need
to revisit its use in the future, in which case this problem may go
away, but this can be delayed until a future patch.
The final message we filter is due to libxslt on modern Debian and
Ubuntu. The patch which they use to implement reproducible ID
generation also prints messages about the ID generation. While this
doesn't affect our current CI images since they use Ubuntu 16.04 which
lacks this patch, if we upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 or a modern Debian,
these messages will appear and, like the above messages, cause a CI
failure.

When building with certain build options, some commands are excluded
from the build. For example, `git-credential-cache` is skipped when
building with `NO_UNIX_SOCKETS`.
Let's not build or package documentation for those excluded commands.
This issue was pointed out rightfully when running `make check-docs` on
Windows, where we do not yet have Unix sockets, and therefore the
`credential-cache` command is excluded (yet its documentation was built
and shipped).
Note: building the documentation via `make -C Documentation` leaves the
build system with no way to determine which commands have been
excluded. If called thusly, we gracefully fail to exclude their
documentation. Only when building the documentation via the top-level
Makefile will it get excluded properly, or after building
`Documentation/GIT-EXCLUDED-PROGRAMS` manually.

It is currently in section 1, but that section is intended for
"Executable programs or shell commands".
A more appropriate place is section 7: "Miscellaneous (including macro
packages and conventions), e.g. man(7), groff(7)".
This issue should have been detected earlier by `make check-docs`, but
was missed due to a bug in that Makefile target (that we are about to

If you build the documentation switching between different options,
e.g., to build with both Asciidoc and Asciidoctor, you'll probably find
yourself running `make -C Documentation clean` either too often (wasting
time) or too rarely (getting mixed builds).
Track the flags we're using in the documentation build, similar to how
the main Makefile tracks CFLAGS and prefix flags. Track ASCIIDOC_COMMON
directly rather than its individual components -- that should make it
harder to forget to update the tracking if/when we modify the build
commands.

asciidoctor-extensions.rb has never changed, but when it does -- such as
in the next commit --, it helps if the xml-files depend on it. We're
casting the net a bit too wide here, since we'll be rebuilding even with
AsciiDoc, which won't look at this file. But since this file changes so
rarely, that should be ok. It's better than missing a dependency.
Similarly, most of the html-files are produced directly from ".txt';
make the html-files too depend on asciidoctor-extensions.rb, both
the HTMLified manual pages as well as the user-manual that does use
.xml intermediary.

These stylesheets very rarely change, but when they do, it really helps
if the manpages depend on them. We're casting the net a bit too wide
here, since we'll only ever use a subset of the stylesheets, but since
these files change so rarely, that should be ok. It's better than
missing a dependency.
Observe that manpage-base-url.xsl is a generated file, so we need to
list it explicitly, besides the `wildcard` expression we're adding here.

Asciidoctor expands tabs at the beginning of a line. However, it does
not expand them into 8 spaces by default. Since we use 8-space tabs,
tell Asciidoctor that we want 8 spaces by setting the tabsize attribute.
This ensures that our ASCII art renders properly.

Introduce git-serve, the base server for protocol version 2.
Protocol version 2 is intended to be a replacement for Git's current
wire protocol. The intention is that it will be a simpler, less
wasteful protocol which can evolve over time.
Protocol version 2 improves upon version 1 by eliminating the initial
ref advertisement. In its place a server will export a list of
capabilities and commands which it supports in a capability
advertisement. A client can then request that a particular command be
executed by providing a number of capabilities and command specific
parameters. At the completion of a command, a client can request that
another command be executed or can terminate the connection by sending a
flush packet.

The SubmittingPatches document is often cited by outside parties as an
example of good practices to follow, including logical, independent
commits; patch sign-offs; and sending patches to a mailing list.
Currently, people who want to cite a particular section tend to either
refer to it by name and let the interested party search through the
document to find it, or link to a given line number on GitHub and hope
the file doesn't change.
Instead, convert the document to AsciiDoc. Build it as part of the
technical documentation, since it is likely of interest to the same
group of people. Provide stable links to the sections which outside
parties are likely to want to link to. Make some minor structural
changes to organize it so that it can be formatted sanely.
Since the makefile needs a .txt extension in order to build with the
rest of the documentation, simply copy the file. Ignore the temporary
file so it doesn't get checked in accidentally, and remove it as part of
the clean process. Do this instead of renaming the file so that people
who have already linked to the documentation (who we're trying to help)
don't find their links broken. Avoid symlinking since Windows will not
like that.
This allows us to render the document as part of the website for the
benefit of others who wish to link to it as well as providing a more
nicely formatted display for our community and potential contributors.

Asciidoctor 1.5.0 and later have a compatibility mode that makes it more
compatible with some Asciidoc syntax, notably the single and double
quote handling. While this doesn't affect any of our current
documentation, it would be beneficial to enable this mode to reduce the
differences between AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor if we make use of those
features in the future.
Since this mode is specified as an attribute, if a version of
Asciidoctor doesn't understand it, it will simply be ignored.

This patch aims to detangle (a) the usage of `git-submodule`
from (b) the concept of submodules and (c) how the actual
implementation looks like, such as where they are configured
and (d) what the best practices are.
To do so, move the conceptual parts of the 'git-submodule'
man page to a new man page gitsubmodules(7). This new page
is just like gitmodules(5), gitattributes(5), gitcredentials(7),
gitnamespaces(7), gittutorial(7), which introduce a concept
rather than explaining a specific command.

While Git has traditionally built its documentation using AsciiDoc, some
people wish to use Asciidoctor for speed or other reasons. Add a
Makefile knob, USE_ASCIIDOCTOR, that sets various options in order to
produce acceptable output. For HTML output, XHTML5 was chosen, since
the AsciiDoc options also produce XHTML, albeit XHTML 1.1.
Asciidoctor does not have built-in support for the linkgit macro, but it
is available using the Asciidoctor Extensions Lab. Add a macro to
enable the use of this extension if it is available. Without it, the
linkgit macros are emitted into the output.

There are two ways to create a section in a reference document (i.e.,
manpage) in DocBook 4: refsection elements and refsect, refsect2, and
refsect3 elements. Either form is acceptable as of DocBook 4.2, but
they cannot be mixed. Prior to DocBook 4.2, only the numbered forms
were acceptable.
docbook2texi only accepts the numbered forms, and this has not generally
been a problem, since AsciiDoc produces the numbered forms.
Asciidoctor, on the other hand, uses a shared backend for DocBook 4 and
5, and uses the unnumbered refsection elements instead.
If we don't convert the unnumbered form to the numbered form,
docbook2texi omits section headings, which is undesirable. Add an XSLT
stylesheet to transform the unnumbered forms to the numbered forms
automatically, and preprocess the DocBook XML as part of the
transformation to Texinfo format.
Note that this transformation is only necessary for Texinfo, since
docbook2texi provides its own stylesheets. The DocBook stylesheets,
which we use for other formats, provide the full range of DocBook 4 and
5 compatibility, and don't have this issue.

Backticks are emphasized through monospaced styling in the HTML
version of Git documentation. But they were left unstyled in the
manual pages.
To make the man pages more comfortably read, `MAN_BOLD_LITERAL` was
added by 5121a6d (Documentation: option to render literal text as
bold for manpages, 2009-03-27). It allowed the user to build the
manpages with literals in bold style.
For precaution it was not set by default back then.
Since 79c461d (docs: default to more modern toolset, 2010-11-19), it
is assumed ASCIIDOC 8 and at least docbook-xsl 1.73 are used, so the
need for compatibility concern is much lessor now.
Remove `MAN_BOLD_LITERAL`, and typeset literals as bold by default .
Add `NO_MAN_BOLD_LITERAL`, a new Makefile option, disabling this
feature when defined.

The "Everyday GIT With 20 Commands Or So" is not accessible via the
Git help system. Move everyday.txt to giteveryday.txt so that "git
help everyday" works, and create a new placeholder file everyday.html
to refer people who follow existing URLs to the updated location.
giteveryday.txt now formats well with AsciiDoc as a man page and
refreshed content to a more command modern style.
Add 'everyday' to the help --guides list and update git(1) and 5
other links to giteveryday.
