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.

By definition, the default value of "advice.*" variables must be true and they all control various additional help messages that are designed to aid new users. Setting one to false is to tell Git that the user understands the nature of the error and does not need the additional verbose help message. Also fix the asciidoc markup for linkgit:git-checkout[1] in the description of the detachedHead advice by removing an excess colon. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-11-07pull: introduce a pull.rebase option to enable --rebaseLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-4/+16
Currently we either need to set branch.<name>.rebase for existing branches if we'd like "git pull" to mean "git pull --rebase", or have the forethought of setting "branch.autosetuprebase" before we create the branch. Introduce a "pull.rebase" option to globally configure "git pull" to mean "git pull --rebase" for any branch. This option will be considered at a lower priority than branch.<name>.rebase, i.e. we could set pull.rebase=true and branch.<name>.rebase=false and the latter configuration option would win.

2011-10-17"rebase -i": support special-purpose editor to edit insn sheetLibravatar Peter Oberndorfer1-0/+6
The insn sheet used by "rebase -i" is designed to be easily editable by any text editor, but an editor that is specifically meant for it (but is otherwise unsuitable for editing regular text files) could be useful by allowing drag & drop reordering in a GUI environment, for example. The GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR environment variable and/or the sequence.editor configuration variable can be used to specify such an editor, while allowing the usual editor to be used to edit commit log messages. As usual, the environment variable takes precedence over the configuration variable. It is envisioned that other "sequencer" based tools will use the same mechanism.

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.
