2021-12-22ls-files: add --sparse optionLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+5
Existing callers to 'git ls-files' are expecting file names, not directories. It is best to expand a sparse index to show all of the contained files in this case. However, expert users may want to inspect the contents of the index itself including which directories are sparse. Add a --sparse option to allow users to request this information. During testing, I noticed that options such as --modified did not affect the output when the files in question were outside the sparse-checkout definition. Tests are added to document this preexisting behavior and how it remains unchanged with the sparse index and the --sparse option.

2021-01-23ls-files.c: add --deduplicate optionLibravatar ZheNing Hu1-0/+8
During a merge conflict, the name of a file may appear multiple times in "git ls-files" output, once for each stage. If you use both `--delete` and `--modify` at the same time, the output may mention a deleted file twice. When none of the '-t', '-u', or '-s' options is in use, these duplicate entries do not add much value to the output. Introduce a new '--deduplicate' option to suppress them.

2020-11-04doc: clarify that --abbrev=<n> is about the minimum lengthLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+3
Early text written in 2006 explains the "--abbrev=<n>" option to "show only a partial prefix", without saying that the length of the partial prefix is not necessarily the number given to the option to ensure that the output names the object uniquely. Update documentation for the diff family of commands, "blame", "branch --verbose", "ls-files" and "ls-tree" to stress that the short prefix must uniquely refer to an object, and <n> is merely the mininum number of hexdigits used in the prefix.

2020-04-06doc: --recurse-submodules mostly applies to active submodulesLibravatar Damien Robert1-1/+1
The documentation refers to "initialized" or "populated" submodules, to explain which submodules are affected by '--recurse-submodules', but the real terminology here is 'active' submodules. Update the documentation accordingly. Some terminology: - Active is defined in gitsubmodules(7), it only involves the configuration variables 'submodule.active', 'submodule.<name>.active' and 'submodule.<name>.url'. The function submodule.c::is_submodule_active checks that a submodule is active. - Populated means that the submodule's working tree is present (and the gitfile correctly points to the submodule repository), i.e. either the superproject was cloned with ` --recurse-submodules`, or the user ran `git submodule update --init`, or `git submodule init [<path>]` and `git submodule update [<path>]` separately which populated the submodule working tree. This does not involve the 3 configuration variables above. - Initialized (at least in the context of the man pages involved in this patch) means both "populated" and "active" as defined above, i.e. what `git submodule update --init` does. The --recurse-submodules option mostly affects active submodules. An exception is `git fetch` where the option affects populated submodules. As a consequence, in `git pull --recurse-submodules` the fetch affects populated submodules, but the resulting working tree update only affects active submodules. In the documentation of `git-pull`, let's distinguish between the fetching part which affects populated submodules, and the updating of worktrees, which only affects active submodules.

2019-04-23doc/ls-files: put nested list for "-t" option into blockLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
The description for the "-t" option contains a sub-list of all of the possible file status outputs. But because of the newline separating that list from the description paragraph, asciidoc treats the sub-list entries as a continuation of the overall options list, rather than as children of the "-t" description. We could fix it by adding a "+" before the sub-list to connect it to the rest of the "-t" text. But using a pair of "--" to delimit the block is perhaps more readable, and may have better compatibility with asciidoctor, as in 39a869b2f2 (Documentation/rev-list-options: wrap --date=<format> block with "--", 2019-03-30). The extra blank line comes from 5bc0e247c4 (Document ls-files -t as semi-obsolete., 2010-07-28), but the problem actually seems older than that. Before then, we did: -t:: some text... H:: cached M:: unmerged etc... but asciidoc also treats that as one big list. So this problem seems to have been around forever.

2018-05-02doc: keep first level section header in upper caseLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+2
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.

2016-10-10ls-files: add pathspec matching for submodulesLibravatar Brandon Williams1-2/+1
Pathspecs can be a bit tricky when trying to apply them to submodules. The main challenge is that the pathspecs will be with respect to the superproject and not with respect to paths in the submodule. The approach this patch takes is to pass in the identical pathspec from the superproject to the submodule in addition to the submodule-prefix, which is the path from the root of the superproject to the submodule, and then we can compare an entry in the submodule prepended with the submodule-prefix to the pathspec in order to determine if there is a match. This patch also permits the pathspec logic to perform a prefix match against submodules since a pathspec could refer to a file inside of a submodule. Due to limitations in the wildmatch logic, a prefix match is only done literally. If any wildcard character is encountered we'll simply punt and produce a false positive match. More accurate matching will be done once inside the submodule. This is due to the superproject not knowing what files could exist in the submodule.

2016-01-18ls-files: add eol diagnosticsLibravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-0/+22
When working in a cross-platform environment, a user may want to check if text files are stored normalized in the repository and if .gitattributes are set appropriately. Make it possible to let Git show the line endings in the index and in the working tree and the effective text/eol attributes. The end of line ("eolinfo") are shown like this: "-text" binary (or with bare CR) file "none" text file without any EOL "lf" text file with LF "crlf" text file with CRLF "mixed" text file with mixed line endings. The effective text/eol attribute is one of these: "", "-text", "text", "text=auto", "text eol=lf", "text eol=crlf" git ls-files --eol gives an output like this: i/none w/none attr/text=auto t/t5100/empty i/-text w/-text attr/-text t/test-binary-2.png i/lf w/lf attr/text eol=lf t/t5100/rfc2047-info-0007 i/lf w/crlf attr/text eol=crlf doit.bat i/mixed w/mixed attr/ locale/XX.po to show what eol convention is used in the data in the index ('i'), and in the working tree ('w'), and what attribute is in effect, for each path that is shown.

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.

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.
