2011-03-10Revert "core.abbrevguard: Ensure short object names stay unique a bit longer"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+0
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'.

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.
