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.

2007-05-21Teach git-describe how to run name-revLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+6
Often users want to know not which tagged version a commit came after, but which tagged version a commit is contained within. This latter task is the job of git-name-rev, but most users are looking to git-describe to do the job. Junio suggested we make `git describe --contains` run the correct tool, `git name-rev`, and that's exactly what we do here. The output of name-rev was adjusted slightly through the new --name-only option, allowing describe to execv into name-rev and maintain its current output format. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-01-14Improve git-describe performance by reducing revision listing.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+30
My prior version of git-describe ran very slowly on even reasonably sized projects like git.git and linux.git as it tended to identify a large number of possible tags and then needed to generate the revision list for each of those tags to sort them and select the best tag to describe the input commit. All we really need is the number of commits in the input revision which are not in the tag. We can generate these counts during the revision walking and tag matching loop by assigning a color to each tag and coloring the commits as we walk them. This limits us to identifying no more than 26 possible tags, as there is limited space available within the flags field of struct commit. The limitation of 26 possible tags is hopefully not going to be a problem in real usage, as most projects won't create 26 maintenance releases and merge them back into a development trunk after the development trunk was tagged with a release candidate tag. If that does occur git-describe will start to revert to its old behavior of using the newer maintenance release tag to describe the development trunk, rather than the development trunk's own tag. The suggested workaround would be to retag the development trunk's tip. However since even 26 possible tags can take a while to generate a description for on some projects I'm defaulting the limit to 10 but offering the user --candidates to increase the number of possible matches if they need a more accurate result. I specifically chose 10 for the default as it seems unlikely projects will have more than 10 maintenance releases merged into a development trunk before retagging the development trunk, and it seems to perform about the same on linux.git as v1.4.4.4 git-describe. A large amount of debugging information was also added during the development of this change, so I've left it in to be toggled on with --debug. It may be useful to the end user to help them understand why git-describe took one particular tag over another. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-06-07Some doc typo fixesLibravatar Francis Daly1-1/+1
All should be clear enough, except perhaps committish / commitish. I just kept the more-used one within the current docs. [jc: with rephrasing of check-ref-format description later discussed on the list] Signed-off-by: Francis Daly <francis@daoine.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
