2010-11-04daemon: make --inetd and --detach incompatibleLibravatar Erik Faye-Lund1-1/+2
Since --inetd makes main return with the result of execute() before daemonize is gets called, these two options are already incompatible. Document it, and add an error if attempted. Signed-off-by: Erik Faye-Lund <kusmabite@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-09-28daemon: allow more than one host address given via --listenLibravatar Alexander Sulfrian1-0/+1
When the host has more than one interfaces, daemon can listen to all of them by not giving any --listen option, or listen to only one. Teach it to accept more than one --listen options. Remove the hostname information form the die, if no socket could be created. It would only trigger when no interface out of either all interface or the ones specified on the command line with --listen options, can be listened to and so the user does know which "host" was asked.

2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-21/+21
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.

2008-12-17git-daemon documentation: use {tilde}Libravatar Miklos Vajna1-2/+2
Use '{tilde}' instead of '~', becase the later does not appear in the manpage version, just in the HTML one. Noticed by gonzzor on IRC. Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-10-24git-daemon: set REMOTE_ADDR to client addressLibravatar Joey Hess1-0/+9
This allows hooks like pre-receive to look at the client's IP address. Of course the IP address can't be used to get strong security; git-daemon isn't the right thing to use if you need that. However, basic IP address checking can be good enough in some situations. REMOTE_ADDR is the same environment variable used to communicate the client's address to CGI scripts.

2008-08-17git-daemon: rewrite kindergarden, new option --max-connectionsLibravatar Stephen R. van den Berg1-2/+7

2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-20/+20
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 .

2008-07-01Documentation formatting and cleanupLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-11/+11
Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`. While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

2008-07-01Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-01git-daemon(1): don't assume git-daemon is in /usr/binLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-5/+5
In the example inetd.conf lines in git-daemon(1), it was assumed that `git-daemon` resides in the user's /usr/bin. With this patch, we only assume `git` is in /usr/bin. The stronger assumption fails in the default installation nowadays. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-08Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-4/+8
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.

2008-06-06documentation: move git(7) to git(1)Libravatar Christian Couder1-1/+1

2008-05-19doc/git-daemon: s/uploadarchive/uploadarch/Libravatar Jeff King1-2/+2

Jari Aalto noticed a handful places in git-daemon documentation that need to be improved. * --inetd makes --pid-file to be ignored, in addition to --user and --group * receive-pack service was not described at all.

2007-08-01--base-path-relaxed optionLibravatar Jens Axboe1-0/+6
I switched git.kernel.dk to --base-path a few minutes ago, to get rid of a /data/git postfix in the posted urls. But transitioning is tricky, since now all old paths will fail miserably. So I added this --base-path-relaxed option, that will make git-daemon try the absolute path without prefixing --base-path before giving up. With this in place and --base-path-relaxed added, both my new url of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block.git and the old git://git.kernel.dk/data/git/linux-2.6-block.git work fine.

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.

Added --listen=host_or_ipaddr option suport. Renamed port variable as "listen_port" correspondingly as well. Documented mutual exclusivity of --inetd option with --user, --group, --listen and --port options. Added compat/inet_pton.c from Paul Vixie as needed. Small memory leaks need to be cleaned up still.

2006-02-05daemon: extend user-relative path notation.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+12
Earlier, we made --base-path to automatically forbid user-relative paths, which was probably a mistake. This introduces --user-path (or --user-path=path) option to control the use of user-relative paths independently. The latter form of the option can be used to restrict accesses to a part of each user's home directory, similar to "public_html" some webservers supports. If we're invoked with --user-path=FOO option, then a URL of the form git://~USER/PATH/... resolves to the path HOME/FOO/PATH/..., where HOME is USER's home directory. [jc: This is much reworked by me so bugs are mine, but the original patch was done by Mark Wooding.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
