2009-08-12Merge branch 'maint-1.6.3' into maintLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
* maint-1.6.3: Change mentions of "git programs" to "git commands" Documentation: merge: one <remote> is required help.c: give correct structure's size to memset()
2009-08-12Change mentions of "git programs" to "git commands"Libravatar Ori Avtalion1-2/+2
Most of the docs and printouts refer to "commands" when discussing what the end users call via the "git" top-level program. We should refer them as "git programs" when we discuss the fact that the commands are implemented as separate programs, but in other contexts, it is better to use the term "git commands" consistently.

2009-06-18http.c: add http.sslCertPasswordProtected optionLibravatar Mark Lodato1-0/+6
Add a configuration option, http.sslCertPasswordProtected, and associated environment variable, GIT_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED, to enable SSL client certificate password prompt from within git. If this option is false and if the environment variable does not exist, git falls back to OpenSSL's prompts (as in earlier versions of git). The environment variable may only be used to enable, not to disable git's password prompt. This behavior mimics GIT_NO_VERIFY; the mere existence of the variable is all that is checked.

This introduces a config setting remote.$remotename.pushurl which is used for pushes only. If absent remote.$remotename.url is used for pushes and fetches as before. This is useful, for example, in order to do passwordless fetches (remote update) over the git transport but pushes over ssh.

2009-04-29Rename core.unreliableHardlinks to core.createObjectLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+8

2009-04-25Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliableLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+5
It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC) has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away, the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs. It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly. As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work around it in Git. At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

2009-03-17New config push.default to decide default behavior for pushLibravatar Finn Arne Gangstad1-0/+18
When "git push" is not told what refspecs to push, it pushes all matching branches to the current remote. For some workflows this default is not useful, and surprises new users. Some have even found that this default behaviour is too easy to trigger by accident with unwanted consequences. Introduce a new configuration variable "push.default" that decides what action git push should take if no refspecs are given or implied by the command line arguments or the current remote configuration. Possible values are: 'nothing' : Push nothing; 'matching' : Current default behaviour, push all branches that already exist in the current remote; 'tracking' : Push the current branch to whatever it is tracking; 'current' : Push the current branch to a branch of the same name, i.e. HEAD.

2009-03-17Documentation: remove extra quoting/emphasis around literal textsLibravatar Chris Johnsen1-12/+12
If literal text (asciidoc `...`) can be rendered in a differently from normal text for each output format (man, HTML), then we do not need extra quotes or other wrapping around inline literal text segments. config.txt Change '`...`' to `...`. In asciidoc, the single quotes provide emphasis, literal text should be distintive enough. Change "`...`" to `...`. These double quotes do not work if present in the described config value, so drop them. git-checkout.txt Change "`...`" to `...` or `"..."`. All instances are command line argument examples. One "`-`" becomes `-`. Two others are involve curly braces, so move the double quotes inside the literal region to indicate that they might need to be quoted on the command line of certain shells (tcsh). git-merge.txt Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are used to describe merge conflict markers. The quotes should are not important. git-rev-parse.txt Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances are around command line arguments where no in-shell quoting should be necessary. gitcli.txt Change `"..."` to `...`. All instances are around command line examples or single command arguments. They do not semanticly belong inside the literal text, and they are not needed outside it. glossary-content.txt user-manual.txt Change "`...`" to `...`. All instances were around command lines.

2009-03-07grep: add support for coloring with external grepsLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+11
Add the config variable color.grep.external, which can be used to switch on coloring of external greps. To enable auto coloring with GNU grep, one needs to set color.grep.external to --color=always to defeat the pager started by git grep. The value of the config variable will be passed to the external grep only if it would colorize internal grep's output, so automatic terminal detected works. The default is to not pass any option, because the external grep command could be a program without color support. Also set the environment variables GREP_COLOR and GREP_COLORS to pass the configured color for matches to the external grep. This works with GNU grep; other variables could be added as needed.

2009-03-07grep: color patterns in outputLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+9
Coloring matches makes them easier to spot in the output. Add two options and two parameters: color.grep (to turn coloring on or off), color.grep.match (to set the color of matches), --color and --no-color (to turn coloring on or off, respectively). The output of external greps is not changed. This patch is based on earlier ones by Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy and Thiago Alves.

2009-03-02git-rebase: Add --stat and --no-stat for producing diffstat on rebaseLibravatar Tor Arne Vestbø1-0/+4
The behavior of --verbose is unchanged, but uses a different state variable internally, so that the meaning of verbose output may be expanded without affecting the diffstat. This is also reflected in the documentation. The configuration option rebase.stat works the same was as merg.stat, but the default is currently false.

2009-02-21format-patch: support deep threadingLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+10
For deep threading mode, i.e., the mode that gives a thread structured like + [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter `-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch `-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch `-+ ... we currently have to use 'git send-email --thread' (the default). On the other hand, format-patch also has a --thread option which gives shallow mode, i.e., + [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter |-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch |-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch ... To reduce the confusion resulting from having two indentically named features in different tools giving different results, let format-patch take an optional argument '--thread=deep' that gives the same output as 'send-mail --thread'. With no argument, or 'shallow', behave as before. Also add a configuration variable format.thread with the same semantics.

Use Term::ReadKey, if available and enabled with interactive.singlekey, to let the user answer add -p's prompts by pressing a single key. We're not doing the same in the main 'add -i' interface because file selection etc. may expect several characters. Two commands take an argument: 'g' can easily cope since it'll just offer a choice of chunks. '/' now (unconditionally, even without readkey) offers a chance to enter a regex if none was given.
