2009-06-27fast-export: Document the fact that git-rev-list arguments are acceptedLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+6

2009-06-27fast-export: Add a --tag-of-filtered-object option for newly dangling tagsLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+11
When providing a list of paths to limit what is exported, the object that a tag points to can be filtered out entirely. This new switch allows the user to specify what should happen to the tag in such a case. The default action, 'abort' will exit with an error message. With 'drop', the tag will simply be omitted from the output. With 'rewrite', if the object tagged was a commit, the tag will be modified to tag an alternate commit. The alternate commit is determined by treating the original commit as the "parent" of the tag and then using the parent rewriting algorithm of the revision traversal machinery (related to the "--parents" option of "git rev-list") Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-12-19fast-export: deal with tag objects that do not have a taggerLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+6
When no tagger was found (old Git produced tags like this), no "tagger" line is printed (but this is incompatible with the current git fast-import). Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing fast-export to fake a tagger Unspecified Tagger <no-tagger> with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.

2008-12-09Improve language in git-merge.txt and related docsLibravatar Ralf Wildenhues1-1/+1
Improve some minor language and format issues like hyphenation, phrases, spacing, word order, comma, attributes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-29Support copy and rename detection in fast-export.Libravatar Alexander Gavrilov1-0/+9
Although it does not matter for Git itself, tools that export to systems that explicitly track copies and renames can benefit from such information. This patch makes fast-export output correct action logs when -M or -C are enabled. Signed-off-by: Alexander Gavrilov <angavrilov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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 .

2008-07-01Documentation formatting and cleanupLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-4/+4
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>
2008-06-19builtin-fast-export: Add importing and exporting of revision marksLibravatar Pieter de Bie1-0/+20
This adds the --import-marks and --export-marks to fast-export. These import and export the marks used to for all revisions exported in a similar fashion to what fast-import does. The format is the same as fast-import, so you can create a bidirectional importer / exporter by using the same marks file on both sides.

2008-06-06documentation: move git(7) to git(1)Libravatar Christian Couder1-1/+1
As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user level, it seems better to move it to man section 1. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-01-06Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitLibravatar Dan McGee1-6/+6
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.

2007-12-03fast-export: rename the signed tag mode 'ignore' to 'verbatim'Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
The name 'verbatim' describes much better what this mode does with signed tags. While at it, fix the documentation what it actually does. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-02Add 'git fast-export', the sister of 'git fast-import'Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+83
This program dumps (parts of) a git repository in the format that fast-import understands. For clarity's sake, it does not use the 'inline' method of specifying blobs in the commits, but builds the blobs before building the commits. Since signed tags' signatures will not necessarily be valid (think transformations after the export, or excluding revisions, changing the history), there are 4 modes to handle them: abort (default), ignore, warn and strip. The latter just turns the tags into unsigned ones. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
