* maint-1.7.6: Documentation: rerere.enabled is the primary way to configure rerere
2012-01-06Documentation: rerere.enabled is the primary way to configure rerereLibravatar Thomas Rast1-4/+4
The wording seems to suggest that creating the directory is needed and the setting of rerere.enabled is only for disabling the feature by setting it to 'false'. But the configuration is meant to be the primary control and setting it to 'true' will enable it; the rr-cache directory will be created as necessary and the user does not have to create it.

2011-06-29Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDocLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
AsciiDoc versions since 5.0.6 treat a double-dash surrounded by spaces (outside of verbatim environments) as a request to insert an em dash. Such versions also treat the three-character sequence "\--", when not followed by another dash, as a request to insert two literal minus signs. Thus from time to time there have been patches to add backslashes to AsciiDoc markup to escape double-dashes that are meant to be represent '--' characters used literally on the command line; see v1.4.0-rc1~174, Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly, 2006-05-05, for example. AsciiDoc 6.0.3 (2005-04-20) made life harder by also treating double-dashes without surrounding whitespace as markup for an em dash, though only when formatting for backends other than the manpages (e.g., HTML). Many pages needed to be changed to use a backslash before the "--" in names of command-line flags like "--add" (see v0.99.6~37, Update tutorial, 2005-08-30). AsciiDoc 8.3.0 (2008-11-29) refined the em-dash rule to avoid that requirement. Double-dashes without surrounding spaces are not rendered as em dashes any more unless bordered on both sides by alphanumeric characters. The unescaped markup for option names (e.g., "--add") works fine, and many instances of this style have leaked into Documentation/; git's HTML documentation contains many spurious em dashes when formatted by an older toolchain. (This patch will not change that.) The upshot: "--" as an isolated word and in phrases like "git web--browse" must be escaped if it is not to be rendered as an em dash by current asciidoc. Use "\--" to avoid such misformatting in sentences in which "--" represents a literal double-minus command line argument that separates options and revs from pathspecs, and use "{litdd}" in cases where the double-dash is embedded in the command name. The latter is just for consistency with v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23). List of lines to fix found by grepping manpages for "(em".

2011-06-03http: pass http.cookiefile using CURLOPT_COOKIEFILELibravatar Duncan Brown1-0/+8
If the config option http.cookiefile is set, pass this file to libCURL using the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE option. This is similar to calling curl with the -b option. This allows git http authorization with authentication mechanisms that use cookies, such as SAML Enhanced Client or Proxy (ECP) used by Shibboleth. To use SAML/ECP, the user needs to request a session cookie with their own ECP code. See for example: <https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/ECP> Once the cookie file has been created, it can be passed to git with, e.g. git config --global http.cookiefile "/home/dbrown/.curlcookies" libCURL will then pass the appropriate session cookies to the git http server.

Add log.abbrevCommit config variable as a convenience for users who often use --abbrev-commit with git log and friends. Allow the option to be overridden with --no-abbrev-commit. Per 635530a2fc and 4f62c2bc57, the config variable is ignored when log is given "--pretty=raw". (Also, a drive-by spelling correction in git log's short help.)

2011-03-11Make the default abbrev length configurableLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+6
The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10 new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number. These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point, seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all the time. We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project in the git config file. This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7 is not raised yet. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This reverts commit 72a5b561fc1c4286bc7c5b0693afc076af261e1f, as adding fixed number of hexdigits more than necessary to make one object name locally unique does not help in futureproofing the uniqueness of names we generate today. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-02-16push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'Libravatar Johan Herland1-1/+2
Users are sometimes confused with two different types of "tracking" behavior in Git: "remote-tracking" branches (e.g. refs/remotes/*/*) versus the merge/rebase relationship between a local branch and its @{upstream} (controlled by branch.foo.remote and branch.foo.merge config settings). When the push.default is set to 'tracking', it specifies that a branch should be pushed to its @{upstream} branch. In other words, setting push.default to 'tracking' applies only to the latter of the above two types of "tracking" behavior. In order to make this more understandable to the user, we rename the push.default == 'tracking' option to push.default == 'upstream'. push.default == 'tracking' is left as a deprecated synonym for 'upstream'.

2011-02-10rebase: use @{upstream} if no upstream specifiedLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-1/+1
'git rebase' without arguments is currently not supported. Make it default to 'git rebase @{upstream}'. That is also what 'git pull [--rebase]' defaults to, so it only makes sense that 'git rebase' defaults to the same thing. Defaulting to @{upstream} will make it possible to run e.g. 'git rebase -i' without arguments, which is probably a quite common use case. It also improves the scenario where you have multiple branches that rebase against a remote-tracking branch, where you currently have to choose between the extra network delay of 'git pull' or the slightly awkward keys to enter 'git rebase @{u}'. The error reporting when no upstream is configured for the current branch or when no branch is checked out is reused from git-pull.sh. A function is extracted into git-parse-remote.sh for this purpose.
