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.

2010-08-14fetch: 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.

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>
2010-08-09Submodules: Use "ignore" settings from .gitmodules too for diff and statusLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+3
The .gitmodules file is parsed for "submodule.<name>.ignore" entries before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in .git/config will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the local developer to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting upstream set defaults for those users who don't have special needs.

2010-08-09Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for diff and statusLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+10
The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each submodule. The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept the new parameter "none" for both status and diff. Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan. This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff): "all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored. "dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules. "untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored, a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it as modified. "none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the "--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status" so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

2010-06-16format-patch: Add a signature option (--signature)Libravatar Stephen Boyd1-0/+6
By default, git uses the version string as the signature for all patches output by format-patch. Many employers (mine included) require the use of a signature on all outgoing mails. In a format-patch | send-email workflow there isn't an easy way to modify the signature without breaking the pipe and manually replacing the version string with the signature required. Instead of doing all that work, add an option (--signature) and a config variable (format.signature) to replace the default git version signature when formatting patches. This does modify the original behavior of format-patch a bit. First off the version string is now placed in the cover letter by default. Secondly, once the configuration variable format.signature is added to the .config file there is no way to revert back to the default git version signature. Instead, specifying the --no-signature option will remove the signature from the patches entirely. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <bebarino@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-06-06Add "core.eol" config variableLibravatar Eyvind Bernhardsen1-14/+21
Introduce a new configuration variable, "core.eol", that allows the user to set which line endings to use for end-of-line-normalized files in the working directory. It defaults to "native", which means CRLF on Windows and LF everywhere else. Note that "core.autocrlf" overrides core.eol. This means that [core] autocrlf = true puts CRLFs in the working directory even if core.eol is set to "lf".
