2010-12-01Make the tab width used for whitespace checks configurableLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+3
A new whitespace "rule" is added that sets the tab width to use for whitespace checks and fix-ups and replaces the hard-coded constant 8. Since the setting is part of the rules, it can be set per file using .gitattributes. The new configuration is backwards compatible because older git versions simply ignore unknown whitespace rules.

2010-12-01add: introduce add.ignoreerrors synonym for add.ignore-errorsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+5
The "[add] ignore-errors" tweakable introduced by v1.5.6-rc0~30^2 (Add a config option to ignore errors for git-add, 2008-05-12) does not follow the usual convention for naming values in the git configuration file. What convention? Glad you asked. The section name indicates the affected subsystem. The subsection name, if any, indicates which of an unbound set of things to set the value for. The variable name describes the effect of tweaking this knob. The section and variable names can be broken into words using bumpyCaps in documentation as a hint to the reader. These word breaks are not significant at the level of code, since the section and variable names are not case sensitive. The name "add.ignore-errors" includes a dash, meaning a naive configuration file like [add] ignoreErrors does not have any effect. Avoid such confusion by renaming to the more consistent add.ignoreErrors, but keep the old version for backwards compatibility.

2010-11-17allow command-specific pagers in pager.<cmd>Libravatar Jeff King1-5/+7
A user may want different pager settings or even a different pager for various subcommands (e.g., because they use different less settings for "log" vs "diff", or because they have a pager that interprets only log output but not other commands). This patch extends the pager.<cmd> syntax to support not only boolean to-page-or-not-to-page, but also to specify a pager just for a specific command.

2010-11-12Submodules: Add the "fetchRecurseSubmodules" config optionLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+7
The new boolean "fetchRecurseSubmodules" config option controls the behavior for "git fetch" and "git pull". It specifies if these commands should recurse into submodules and fetch new commits there too and can be set separately for each submodule. In the .gitmodules file "submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules" entries are read before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in .git/config will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the user to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting upstream set reasonable defaults for those users who don't have special needs. This configuration can be overridden by the command line option "--[no-]recurse-submodules" of "git fetch" and "git pull".

2010-11-12Add the 'fetch.recurseSubmodules' config settingLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+5

2010-11-03Change incorrect uses of "remote branch" meaning "remote-tracking"Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-3/+4
"remote branch" is a branch hosted in a remote repository, while "remote-tracking branch" is a copy of such branch, hosted locally. The distinction is subtle when the copy is up-to-date, but rather fundamental to understand what "git fetch" and "git push" do. This patch should fix all incorrect usages in Documentation/ directory.

2010-11-03Replace "remote tracking" with "remote-tracking"Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+1
"remote-tracking" branch makes it explicit that the branch is "tracking a remote", as opposed to "remote, and tracking something". See discussion in e.g. http://mid.gmane.org/8835ADF9-45E5-4A26-9F7F-A72ECC065BB2@gmail.com for more details. This patch is a straightforward application of perl -pi -e 's/remote tracking branch/remote-tracking branch/' except in the RelNotes directory.

2010-10-28core.abbrevguard: Ensure short object names stay unique a bit longerLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+9
Even though git makes sure that it uses enough hexdigits to show an abbreviated object name unambiguously, as more objects are added to the repository over time, a short name that used to be unique will stop being unique. Git uses this many extra hexdigits that are more than necessary to make the object name currently unique, in the hope that its output will stay unique a bit longer.

2010-08-14fetch: allow command line --tags to override configLibravatar Daniel Johnson1-1/+3
Originally, if remote.<name>.tagopt was set, the --tags and option would have no effect when given to git fetch. So if tagopt="--no-tags" git fetch --tags would not actually fetch tags. This patch changes this behavior to only follow what is written in the config if there is no option passed by the command line.

Some firewalls restrict HTTP connections based on the clients user agent.

2010-08-09Add the 'diff.ignoreSubmodules' config settingLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+6
When you have a lot of submodules checked out, the time penalty to check for dirty submodules can easily imply a multiplication of the total time by the factor 20. This makes the difference between almost instantaneous (< 2 seconds) and unbearably slow (> 50 seconds) here, since the disk caches are constantly overloaded. To this end, the submodule.*.ignore config option was introduced, but it is per-submodule. This commit introduces a global config setting to set a default (porcelain) value for the --ignore-submodules option, keeping the default at 'none'. It can be overridden by the submodule.*.ignore setting and by the --ignore-submodules option. Incidentally, this commit fixes an issue with the overriding logic: multiple --ignore-submodules options would not clear the previously set flags. While at it, fix a typo in the documentation for submodule.*.ignore. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
