* wp/doc-filter-direction: documentation: clarify direction of core.autocrlf
2010-04-17documentation: clarify direction of core.autocrlfLibravatar Will Palmer1-4/+4
The description for core.autocrlf refers to reads from / writes to "the filesystem", the only use of this rather ambiguous term, which technically could be referring to the git object database. (All other mentions are part of phrases such as "..filesystems (like NFS).."). Other sections, including the section on core.safecrlf, use the term "work tree" for the same purpose as the term "the filesystem" is used in the core.autocrlf section, so that seems like a good alternative, which makes it clearer what direction the addition/removal of CR characters occurs in.

2010-03-12notes: implement helpers needed for note copying during rewriteLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+30
Implement helper functions to load the rewriting config, and to actually copy the notes. Also document the config. Secondly, also implement an undocumented --for-rewrite=<cmd> option to 'git notes copy' which is used like --stdin, but also puts the configuration for <cmd> into effect. It will be needed to support the copying in git-rebase.

2010-03-08grep: Colorize selected, context, and function linesLibravatar Mark Lodato1-0/+6
Colorize non-matching text of selected lines, context lines, and function name lines. The default for all three is no color, but they can be configured using color.grep.<slot>. The first two are similar to the corresponding options in GNU grep, except that GNU grep applies the color to the entire line, not just non-matching text.

2010-03-08grep: Colorize filename, line number, and separatorLibravatar Mark Lodato1-3/+17
Colorize the filename, line number, and separator in git grep output, as GNU grep does. The colors are customizable through color.grep.<slot>. The default is to only color the separator (in cyan), since this gives the biggest legibility increase without overwhelming the user with colors. GNU grep also defaults cyan for the separator, but defaults to magenta for the filename and to green for the line number, as well. There is one difference from GNU grep: When a binary file matches without -a, GNU grep does not color the <file> in "Binary file <file> matches", but we do. Like GNU grep, if --null is given, the null separators are not colored. For config.txt, use a a sub-list to describe the slots, rather than a single paragraph with parentheses, since this is much more readable. Remove the cast to int for `rm_eo - rm_so` since it is not necessary. Signed-off-by: Mark Lodato <lodatom@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-02-03make --max-pack-size argument to 'git pack-object' count in bytesLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-4/+7
The value passed to --max-pack-size used to count in MiB which was inconsistent with the corresponding configuration variable as well as other command arguments which are defined to count in bytes with an optional unit suffix. This brings --max-pack-size in line with the rest of Git. Also, in order not to cause havoc with people used to the previous megabyte scale, and because this is a sane thing to do anyway, a minimum size of 1 MiB is enforced to avoid an explosion of pack files. Adjust and extend test suite accordingly. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-02-01fast-import: Stream very large blobs directly to packLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+14
If a blob is larger than the configured big-file-threshold, instead of reading it into a single buffer obtained from malloc, stream it onto the end of the current pack file. Streaming the larger objects into the pack avoids the 4+ GiB memory footprint that occurs when fast-import is processing 2+ GiB blobs. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2010-01-29Reword "detached HEAD" notificationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
The old "advice" message explained how to create a branch after going into a detached HEAD state but didn't make it clear why the user may want to do so. Also "moving to ... which isn't a local branch" was unclear if it is complaining, if it is describing the new state, or if it is explaining why the HEAD is detached (the true reason is the last one). Give the established phrase 'detached HEAD' first to make it easy for users to look up the concept in documentation, and briefly describe what can be done in the state (i.e. play around without having to clean up) before telling the user how to keep what was done during the temporary state. Allow the long description to be hidden by setting advice.detachedHead configuration to false. We might want to customize the advice depending on how the commit to check out was spelled (e.g. instead of "new-branch-name", we way want to say "topic" when "git checkout origin/topic" triggered this message) in later updates, but this encapsulates that into a separate function and it should be a good first step.

2010-01-14commit: allow suppression of implicit identity adviceLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
We now nag the user with a giant warning when their identity was pulled from the username, hostname, and gecos information, in case it is not correct. Most users will suppress this by simply setting up their information correctly. However, there may be some users who consciously want to use that information, because having the value change from host to host contains useful information. These users can now set advice.implicitidentity to false to suppress the message. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-01-12Be more user-friendly when refusing to do something because of conflict.Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+4
Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit, merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and inconsistant error messages. A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution. For commit, the error message used to look like this: $ git commit foo.txt: needs merge foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169) foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030) foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4) error: Error building trees The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(), which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict. The new output looks like: U foo.txt fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files. Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'. Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists instead of waiting for merge to complain. The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-36/+36
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.
