* lt/objformat: sha1_file: add the ability to parse objects in "pack file format"
2006-07-23pack-objects: check pack.window for default window sizeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
For some repositories, deltas simply don't make sense. One can disable them for git-repack by adding --window, but git-push insists on making the deltas which can be very CPU-intensive for little benefit. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-23tar-tree: add the "tar.umask" config optionLibravatar Willy Tarreau1-0/+11
By default, git-tar-tree(1) sets file and directories modes to 0666 or 0777. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects such as the Linux Kernel, it might be excessive for other projects. With this variable, it becomes possible to tell git-tar-tree(1) to apply a specific umask to the modes above. The special value "user" indicates that the user's current umask will be used. This should be enough for most projects, as it will lead to the same permissions as git-checkout(1) would use. The default value remains 0, which means world read-write.

2006-07-13sha1_file: add the ability to parse objects in "pack file format"Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+6
The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding. The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length information, which is somewhat wasteful. A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to copy the payload straight to packfiles. Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for now new object files are created with the traditional format. core.legacyheaders configuration item, when set to false makes the code write in new format for people to experiment with.

2006-07-07diff.c: respect diff.renames config optionLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+5
diff.renames is mentioned several times in the documentation, but to my surprise it didn't do anything before this patch. Also add the --no-renames option to override this from the command-line. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-06core.compression documentation formatting fix.Libravatar Joachim Berdal Haga1-1/+1
I didn't notice earlier that two colons are required for the asciidoc entry. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-03Make zlib compression level configurable, and change default.Libravatar Joachim B Haga1-0/+6
With the change in default, "git add ." on kernel dir is about twice as fast as before, with only minimal (0.5%) change in object size. The speed difference is even more noticeable when committing large files, which is now up to 8 times faster. The configurability is through setting core.compression = [-1..9] which maps to the zlib constants; -1 is the default, 0 is no compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.

2006-06-07Some doc typo fixesLibravatar Francis Daly1-3/+3
All should be clear enough, except perhaps committish / commitish. I just kept the more-used one within the current docs. [jc: with rephrasing of check-ref-format description later discussed on the list] Signed-off-by: Francis Daly <francis@daoine.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-06-03Merge branch 'sp/reflog'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
* sp/reflog: fetch.c: do not pass uninitialized lock to unlock_ref(). Test that git-branch -l works. Verify git-commit provides a reflog message. Enable ref log creation in git checkout -b. Create/delete branch ref logs. Include ref log detail in commit, reset, etc. Change order of -m option to update-ref. Correct force_write bug in refs.c Change 'master@noon' syntax to 'master@{noon}'. Log ref updates made by fetch. Force writing ref if it doesn't exist. Added logs/ directory to repository layout. General ref log reading improvements. Fix ref log parsing so it works properly. Support 'master@2 hours ago' syntax Log ref updates to logs/refs/<ref> Convert update-ref to use ref_lock API. Improve abstraction of ref lock/write.

2006-05-17Log ref updates to logs/refs/<ref>Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-0/+8
If config parameter core.logAllRefUpdates is true or the log file already exists then append a line to ".git/logs/refs/<ref>" whenever git-update-ref <ref> is executed. Each log line contains the following information: oldsha1 <SP> newsha1 <SP> committer <LF> where committer is the current user, date, time and timezone in the standard GIT ident format. If the caller is unable to append to the log file then git-update-ref will fail without updating <ref>. An optional message may be included in the log line with the -m flag. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-05-02core.prefersymlinkrefs: use symlinks for .git/HEADLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+5
When inspecting a project whose build infrastructure used to assume that .git/HEAD is a symlink ref, core.prefersymlinkrefs in the config file of such a project would help to bisect its history. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-04-24Document the configuration fileLibravatar Petr Baudis1-0/+181
This patch adds a Documentation/config.txt file included by git-repo-config and currently aggregating hopefully all the available git plumbing / core porcelain configuration variables, as well as briefly describing the format. It also updates an outdated bit of the example in git-repo-config(1). Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz>
