2019-08-11doc: fix repeated wordsLibravatar Mark Rushakoff1-1/+1
Inspired by 21416f0a07 ("restore: fix typo in docs", 2019-08-03), I ran "git grep -E '(\b[a-zA-Z]+) \1\b' -- Documentation/" to find other cases where words were duplicated, e.g. "the the", and in most cases removed one of the repeated words. There were many false positives by this grep command, including deliberate repeated words like "really really" or valid uses of "that that" which I left alone, of course. I also did not correct any of the legitimate, accidentally repeated words in old RelNotes.

2019-05-14fast-export: do automatic reencoding of commit messages only if requestedLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+7
Automatic re-encoding of commit messages (and dropping of the encoding header) hurts attempts to do reversible history rewrites (e.g. sha1sum <-> sha256sum transitions, some subtree rewrites), and seems inconsistent with the general principle followed elsewhere in fast-export of requiring explicit user requests to modify the output (e.g. --signed-tags=strip, --tag-of-filtered-object=rewrite). Add a --reencode flag that the user can use to specify, and like other fast-export flags, default it to 'abort'.

2018-11-17fast-export: add a --show-original-ids option to show original namesLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+7
Knowing the original names (hashes) of commits can sometimes enable post-filtering that would otherwise be difficult or impossible. In particular, the desire to rewrite commit messages which refer to other prior commits (on top of whatever other filtering is being done) is very difficult without knowing the original names of each commit. In addition, knowing the original names (hashes) of blobs can allow filtering by blob-id without requiring re-hashing the content of the blob, and is thus useful as a small optimization. Once we add original ids for both commits and blobs, we may as well add them for tags too for completeness. Perhaps someone will have a use for them. This commit teaches a new --show-original-ids option to fast-export which will make it add a 'original-oid <hash>' line to blob, commits, and tags. It also teaches fast-import to parse (and ignore) such lines. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Acked-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-11-17fast-export: add --reference-excluded-parents optionLibravatar Elijah Newren1-2/+15
git filter-branch has a nifty feature allowing you to rewrite, e.g. just the last 8 commits of a linear history git filter-branch $OPTIONS HEAD~8..HEAD If you try the same with git fast-export, you instead get a history of only 8 commits, with HEAD~7 being rewritten into a root commit. There are two alternatives: 1) Don't use the negative revision specification, and when you're filtering the output to make modifications to the last 8 commits, just be careful to not modify any earlier commits somehow. 2) First run 'git fast-export --export-marks=somefile HEAD~8', then run 'git fast-export --import-marks=somefile HEAD~8..HEAD'. Both are more error prone than I'd like (the first for obvious reasons; with the second option I have sometimes accidentally included too many revisions in the first command and then found that the corresponding extra revisions were not exported by the second command and thus were not modified as I expected). Also, both are poor from a performance perspective. Add a new --reference-excluded-parents option which will cause fast-export to refer to commits outside the specified rev-list-args range by their sha1sum. Such a stream will only be useful in a repository which already contains the necessary commits (much like the restriction imposed when using --no-data). Note from Peff: I think we might be able to do a little more optimization here. If we're exporting HEAD^..HEAD and there's an object in HEAD^ which is unchanged in HEAD, I think we'd still print it (because it would not be marked SHOWN), but we could omit it (by walking the tree of the boundary commits and marking them shown). I don't think it's a blocker for what you're doing here, but just a possible future optimization.

2018-05-02doc: keep first level section header in upper caseLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers uppercase to keep it close to the final output. This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers. Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has suggestions about this. While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there.

2015-05-12doc: convert \--option to --optionLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
Older versions of AsciiDoc would convert the "--" in "--option" into an emdash. According to 565e135 (Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc, 2011-06-29), this is fixed in AsciiDoc 8.3.0. According to bf17126, we don't support anything older than 8.4.1 anyway, so we no longer need to worry about quoting. Even though this does not change the output at all, there are a few good reasons to drop the quoting: 1. It makes the source prettier to read. 2. We don't quote consistently, which may be confusing when reading the source. 3. Asciidoctor does not like the quoting, and renders a literal backslash.

2014-08-27teach fast-export an --anonymize optionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
Sometimes users want to report a bug they experience on their repository, but they are not at liberty to share the contents of the repository. It would be useful if they could produce a repository that has a similar shape to its history and tree, but without leaking any information. This "anonymized" repository could then be shared with developers (assuming it still replicates the original problem). This patch implements an "--anonymize" option to fast-export, which generates a stream that can recreate such a repository. Producing a single stream makes it easy for the caller to verify that they are not leaking any useful information. You can get an overview of what will be shared by running a command like: git fast-export --anonymize --all | perl -pe 's/\d+/X/g' | sort -u | less which will show every unique line we generate, modulo any numbers (each anonymized token is assigned a number, like "User 0", and we replace it consistently in the output). In addition to anonymizing, this produces test cases that are relatively small (compared to the original repository) and fast to generate (compared to using filter-branch, or modifying the output of fast-export yourself). Here are numbers for git.git: $ time git fast-export --anonymize --all \ --tag-of-filtered-object=drop >output real 0m2.883s user 0m2.828s sys 0m0.052s $ gzip output $ ls -lh output.gz | awk '{print $5}' 2.9M Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-04-07fast-export: Allow pruned-references in mark fileLibravatar Antoine Pelisse1-0/+2
fast-export can fail because of some pruned-reference when importing a mark file. The problem happens in the following scenario: $ git fast-export --export-marks=MARKS master (rewrite master) $ git prune $ git fast-export --import-marks=MARKS master This might fail if some references have been removed by prune because some marks will refer to no longer existing commits. git-fast-export will not need these objects anyway as they were no longer reachable. We still need to update last_numid so we don't change the mapping between marks and objects for remote-helpers. Unfortunately, the mark file should not be rewritten without lost marks if no new objects has been exported, as we could lose track of the last last_numid.

2012-04-26docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literalLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc 8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the documentation could be built on either version. It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want inline literals on their own merits, which are: 1. The source is much easier to read when the literal contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead of `master{tilde}1`. 2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of quoting. This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up, or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the output). Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to making the source more readable, this patch fixes several formatting bugs: - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B") - some code examples used the right-arrow character instead of '->' because they failed to quote - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting HTML contained a bogus snippet like: <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt> which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole sections of the page. - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes) - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for author@example.com - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}". - using "prime" notation like: commit `C` and its replacement `C'` confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant to be inside matched quotes - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our asterisks. In particular, `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*` properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but literally passed through the backslash in the second case.

2011-07-06Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sectionsLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-0/+1
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands.

2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+0
The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

2010-07-19fast-export: Add a --full-tree optionLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+6
This option adds symmetry with fast-import, enabling it to also work with complete trees instead of just incremental changes. It works by issuing a 'deleteall' directive with each commit and then listing the full set of files that make up that commit, rather than just showing the list of files that have changed since the (first) parent commit. Note that this functionality is automatically turned on when using --import-marks together with path limiting in order to avoid dropping important but unchanged files. This functionality is desired when using hand-written filters along with 'fast-export | some-filter | fast-import' as it can be easier to write <some-filter> in terms of complete trees than incremental changes. We could avoid the need to add this option by simply always turning it on. While the end result would be identical, it would slow things down slightly by printing many more filenames per commit which goes somewhat against the 'fast' in 'fast-export'.

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.

2008-07-01Documentation: 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.

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>
