2020-12-08diff: do not show submodule with untracked files as "-dirty"Libravatar Sangeeta Jain1-0/+2
Git diff reports a submodule directory as -dirty even when there are only untracked files in the submodule directory. This is inconsistent with what `git describe --dirty` says when run in the submodule directory in that state. Make `--ignore-submodules=untracked` the default for `git diff` when there is no configuration variable or command line option, so that the command would not give '-dirty' suffix to a submodule whose working tree has untracked files, to make it consistent with `git describe --dirty` that is run in the submodule working tree. And also make `--ignore-submodules=none` the default for `git status` so that the user doesn't end up deleting a submodule that has uncommitted (untracked) files.

2020-05-24diff: add config option relativeLibravatar Laurent Arnoud1-0/+4
The `diff.relative` boolean option set to `true` shows only changes in the current directory/value specified by the `path` argument of the `relative` option and shows pathnames relative to the aforementioned directory.

2019-09-09Merge branch 'sg/diff-indent-heuristic-non-experimental'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
We promoted the "indent heuristics" that decides where to split diff hunks from experimental to the default a few years ago, but some stale documentation still marked it as experimental, which has been corrected. * sg/diff-indent-heuristic-non-experimental: diff: 'diff.indentHeuristic' is no longer experimental
2019-08-15diff: 'diff.indentHeuristic' is no longer experimentalLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+1
The indent heuristic started out as experimental, but it's now our default diff heuristic since 33de716387 (diff: enable indent heuristic by default, 2017-05-08). Alas, that commit didn't update the documentation, and the description of the 'diff.indentHeuristic' configuration variable still implies that it's experimental and not the default. Update the description of 'diff.indentHeuristic' to make it clear that it's the default diff heuristic. The description of the related '--indent-heuristic' option has already been updated in bab76141da (diff: --indent-heuristic is no longer experimental, 2017-10-29).

2019-07-09Merge branch 'nd/switch-and-restore'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
Two new commands "git switch" and "git restore" are introduced to split "checking out a branch to work on advancing its history" and "checking out paths out of the index and/or a tree-ish to work on advancing the current history" out of the single "git checkout" command. * nd/switch-and-restore: (46 commits) completion: disable dwim on "git switch -d" switch: allow to switch in the middle of bisect t2027: use test_must_be_empty Declare both git-switch and git-restore experimental help: move git-diff and git-reset to different groups doc: promote "git restore" user-manual.txt: prefer 'merge --abort' over 'reset --hard' completion: support restore t: add tests for restore restore: support --patch restore: replace --force with --ignore-unmerged restore: default to --source=HEAD when only --staged is specified restore: reject invalid combinations with --staged restore: add --worktree and --staged checkout: factor out worktree checkout code restore: disable overlay mode by default restore: make pathspec mandatory restore: take tree-ish from --source option instead checkout: split part of it to new command 'restore' doc: promote "git switch" ...
2019-04-02checkout: split part of it to new command 'switch'Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+2
"git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most of users) are sick of it. See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout" and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will adjust their behavior to match the man page.

2019-03-07Documentation: turn middle-of-line tabs into spacesLibravatar Martin Ågren1-1/+1
These tabs happen to appear in columns where they don't stand out too much, so the diff here is non-obvious. Some of these are rendered differently by AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor (although the difference might be invisible!), which is how I found a few of them. The remainder were found using `git grep "[a-zA-Z.,)]$TAB[a-zA-Z]"`. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren <martin.agren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Split the overly large Documentation/config.txt file into million little pieces.
