2008-09-26Documentation: clarify the details of overriding LESS via core.pagerLibravatar Chris Frey1-2/+11
The process of overriding the default LESS options using only git-specific methods is rather obscure. Show the end user how to do it in a step-by-step manner. Signed-off-by: Chris Frey <cdfrey@foursquare.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2008-08-31Add help.autocorrect to enable/disable autocorrectingLibravatar Alex Riesen1-0/+9
It is off(0) by default, to avoid scaring people unless they asked to. If set to a non-0 value, wait for that amount of deciseconds before running the corrected command. Suggested by Junio, so he has a chance to hit Ctrl-C. Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-08-30diff: vary default prefix depending on what are comparedLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+16
With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/". Hopefully this will make the distinction stand out for some people. "git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree; "git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree; "git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex; "git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity; "git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2). Because these mnemonics now have meanings, they are swapped when reverse diff is in effect and this feature is enabled. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-08-30merge.conflictstyle: choose between "merge" and "diff3 -m" stylesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
This teaches "git merge-file" to honor merge.conflictstyle configuration variable, whose value can be "merge" (default) or "diff3". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-08-24Documentation: clarify pager.<cmd> configurationLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+5
It was not obvious from the text that pager.<cmd> is a boolean setting. While we're changing the description, make some other improvements: lest we forget and fret, clarify that -p and pager.<cmd> do not kick in when stdout is not a tty; point to related core.pager and GIT_PAGER settings; use renamed --paginate option. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-08-19add boolean diff.suppress-blank-empty config optionLibravatar Jim Meyering1-0/+4
GNU diff's --suppress-blank-empty option makes it so that diff no longer outputs trailing white space unless the input data has it. With this option, empty context lines are now empty also in diff -u output. Before, they would have a single trailing space. * diff.c (diff_suppress_blank_empty): New global. (git_diff_basic_config): Set it. (fn_out_consume): Honor it. * t/t4029-diff-trailing-space.sh: New file. * Documentation/config.txt: Document it.

2008-07-28Make use of stat.ctime configurableLibravatar Alex Riesen1-0/+7
A new configuration variable 'core.trustctime' is introduced to allow ignoring st_ctime information when checking if paths in the working tree has changed, because there are situations where it produces too much false positives. Like when file system crawlers keep changing it when scanning and using the ctime for marking scanned files. The default is to notice ctime changes.

2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-27/+27
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages. Using doit () { perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }' } for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \ merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt do doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i" done git diff .

This includes nongit commands like RCS 'merge'. This patch only italicizes names of commands if they had no formatting before. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05Documentation: more "git-" versus "git " changesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-26/+26
With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and the command you type, `git whatever <options>`. So we use a dash after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter. I already sent a patch doing this same thing, but I missed some spots.

2008-06-28Documentation: remove {show,whatchanged}.difftree config optionsLibravatar Olivier Marin1-8/+0
This removes, from the documentation and the bash completion script, the two config options that were introduced by the git-whatchanged.sh script and lost in the C rewrite. Today, we can use aliases as an alternative. Signed-off-by: Olivier Marin <dkr@freesurf.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-25pack.indexversion config option now defaults to 2Libravatar Nicolas Pitre1-3/+11
As announced for 1.6.0. Git older than version 1.5.2 (or any other git version with this option set to 1) may revert to version 1 of the pack index by manually deleting all .idx files and recreating them using 'git index-pack'. Communication over the git native protocol is unaffected since the pack index is never transferred. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-25Merge branch 'lt/config-fsync'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
* lt/config-fsync: Add config option to enable 'fsync()' of object files Split up default "i18n" and "branch" config parsing into helper routines Split up default "user" config parsing into helper routine Split up default "core" config parsing into helper routine
2008-06-25repack.usedeltabaseoffset config option now defaults to "true"Libravatar Nicolas Pitre1-2/+6
As announced for 1.6.0. Access over the native protocol by old git versions is unaffected as this capability is negociated by the protocol. Otherwise setting this config option to "false" and doing a 'git repack -a -d' is enough to remain compatible with ancient git versions (older than 1.4.4).

2008-06-22rerere.autoupdateLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
When this configuration is set, paths that are autoresolved by git-rerere are updated in the index as well.
2008-06-18Add config option to enable 'fsync()' of object filesLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+8
As explained in the documentation[*] this is totally useless on filesystems that do ordered/journalled data writes, but it can be a useful safety feature on filesystems like HFS+ that only journal the metadata, not the actual file contents. It defaults to off, although we could presumably in theory some day auto-enable it on a per-filesystem basis. [*] Yes, I updated the docs for the thing. Hell really _has_ frozen over, and the four horsemen are probably just beyond the horizon. EVERYBODY PANIC!

2008-05-11Allow tracking branches to set up rebase by default.Libravatar Dustin Sallings1-0/+15
Change cd67e4d4 introduced a new configuration parameter that told pull to automatically perform a rebase instead of a merge. This change provides a configuration option to enable this feature automatically when creating a new branch.
