2009-11-10Teach the --multiple option to 'git fetch'Libravatar Björn Gustavsson1-0/+6
Add the --multiple option to specify that all arguments are either groups or remotes. The primary reason for adding this option is to allow us to re-implement 'git remote update' using fetch. It would have been nice if this option was not needed, but since the colon in a refspec is optional, it is in general not possible to know whether a single, colon-less argument is a remote or a refspec.

2009-11-10Teach the --all option to 'git fetch'Libravatar Björn Gustavsson1-0/+3
'git remote' is meant for managing remotes and 'git fetch' is meant for actually fetching data from remote repositories. Therefore, it is not logical that you must use 'git remote update' to fetch from more than one repository at once. Add the --all option to 'git fetch', to tell it to attempt to fetch from all remotes. Also, if --all is not given, the <repository> argument is allowed to be the name of a group, to allow fetching from all repositories in the group. Other options except -v and -q are silently ignored.

2009-09-07git-pull: do not mention --quiet and --verbose twiceLibravatar Emmanuel Trillaud1-0/+2
git-pull.txt includes fetch-options.txt and merge-options.txt, both of which document the --quiet and --verbose. Supress the ones from fetch-options.txt. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Trillaud <etrillaud@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-08-12Change mentions of "git programs" to "git commands"Libravatar Ori Avtalion1-1/+1
Most of the docs and printouts refer to "commands" when discussing what the end users call via the "git" top-level program. We should refer them as "git programs" when we discuss the fact that the commands are implemented as separate programs, but in other contexts, it is better to use the term "git commands" consistently.

2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-4/+4
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 .

2008-06-08Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-11/+19
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

2008-01-25git pull manpage: don't include -n from fetch-options.txtLibravatar Miklos Vajna1-4/+8
The -n option stands for --no-summary in git pull [jes: reworded the description to avoid mentioning 'git-fetch'; also exclude '-n' conditional on git-pull -- ugly because of the missing "else" statement in asciidoc] Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-01-06Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitLibravatar Dan McGee1-1/+1
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]]. Bibliographic anchor. (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]] This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being matched by the wrong regex. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

2006-01-26git-fetch --upload-pack: disambiguate.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+1
Johannes noticed the recent addition of this new flag inadvertently took over existing --update-head-ok (-u). Require longer abbreviation to this new option which would be needed in a rare setup. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-01-24git-fetch: pass --upload-pack to fetch-packLibravatar Michal Ostrowski1-0/+7
Without this, there is no way to specify a remote executable when invoking git-pull/git-fetch as there is for git-clone. [jc: I have a mild suspicion that this is a broken environment (aka sysadmin disservice). It may be legal to configure your sshd to spawn named program without involving shell at all, and if your sysadmin does so and you have your git programs under your home directory, you would need something like this, but then I suspect you would need such workaround everywhere, not just git. But we have these options we can use to work around the issue, so there is no strong reason not to reject this patch, either. ] Signed-off-by: Michal Ostrowski <mostrows@watson.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-01-07git-fetch: auto-following tags.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+13
I added things to ls-remote so that Cogito can auto-follow tags easily and correctly a while ago, but git-fetch did not use the facility. Recently added git-describe command relies on repository keeping up-to-date set of tags, which made it much more attractive to automatically follow tags, so we do that as well.

2005-12-01Documentation: describe '-f' option to git-fetch.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
