2008-01-18Include rev-list options in git-log manpage.Libravatar Miklos Vajna1-357/+2
Replace the "This manual page describes only the most frequently used options." text with the list of rev-list options in git-log manpage. (The git-diff-tree options are already included.) Move these options to a separate file and include it from both git-rev-list.txt and git-log.txt. Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-01-06Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitLibravatar Dan McGee1-10/+10
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>

2007-11-11rev-list: Introduce --quiet to avoid /dev/null redirectsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+9
Some uses of git-rev-list are to run it with --objects to see if a range of objects between two or more commits is fully connected or not. In such a case the caller doesn't care about the actual object names or hash hints so formatting this data only for it to be dumped to /dev/null by a redirect is a waste of CPU time. If all the caller needs is the exit status then --quiet can be used to bypass the commit and object formatting. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2007-08-19Don't allow combination of -g and --reverse as it doesn't workLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+3
The --walk-reflogs logic and the --reverse logic are completely incompatible with one another. Attempting to use both at the same time leads to confusing results that sometimes violates the user's formatting options or ignores the user's request to see the reflog message and timestamp. Unfortunately the implementation of both of these features is glued onto the side of the revision walking machinary in such a way that they are probably not going to be easy to make them compatible with each other. Rather than offering the user confusing results we are better off bailing out with an error message until such a time as the implementations can be refactored to be compatible.

2007-07-23Teach revision machinery about --no-walkLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+9
The flag "no_walk" is present in struct rev_info since a long time, but so far has been in use exclusively by "git show". With this flag, you can see all your refs, ordered by date of the last commit: $ git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk which is extremely helpful if you have to juggle with a lot topic branches, and do not remember in which one you introduced that uber debug option, or simply want to get an overview what is cooking. (Note that the "git log" invocation above does not output the same as $ git show --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --quiet since "git show" keeps the alphabetic order that "--all" returns the refs in, even if the option "--date-order" was passed.) For good measure, this also adds the "--do-walk" option which overrides "--no-walk". Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-07-02Documentation: quote {non-attributes} for asciidocLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Asciidoc treats {foo} as an attribute to be substituted; if 'foo' doesn't exist as an attribute, then the entire line gets dropped. When the literal {foo} is desired, \{foo} is required. The exceptions to this rule are: - inside literal blocks - if the 'foo' contains non-alphanumeric characters (e.g., {foo|bar} is assumed not to be an attribute) Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-05-13Documentation: Split description of pretty formats of commit logLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-1/+5
Split description of pretty formats into list of pretty options (--pretty and --encoding) in new file Documentation/pretty-options.txt and description of formats itself as a separate "PRETTY FORMATS" section in pretty-formats.txt While at it correct formatting a bit, to be better laid out in the resulting manpages: git-rev-list(1), git-show(1), git-log(1) and git-diff-tree(1). Those manpages now include pretty options in the same place as it was before, and description of formats just after all options.

This adds --date={local,relative,default} option to log family of commands, to allow displaying timestamps in user's local timezone, relative time, or the default format. Existing --relative-date option is a synonym of --date=relative; we could probably deprecate it in the long run. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

This adds --bisect-vars option to rev-list. The output is suitable for `eval` in shell and defines five variables: - bisect_rev is the next revision to test. - bisect_nr is the expected number of commits to test after bisect_rev is tested. - bisect_good is the expected number of commits to test if bisect_rev turns out to be good. - bisect_bad is the expected number of commits to test if bisect_rev turns out to be bad. - bisect_all is the number of commits we are bisecting right now.

Asciidoc-include it into the manuals for programs that use the --pretty command-line option, for consistency among the docs. This describes all the pretty-formats currently listed in the cmit_fmt enum in commit.h, and also briefly describes the presence and format of the 'Merge: ' line in some pretty formats. There's a hedge that limiting your view of history can affect what goes in the Merge: line, and that --abbrev/--no-abbrev do nothing to the 'raw' format.

When --stdin option is given, in addition to the <rev>s listed on the command line, the command can read one rev parameter per line from the standard input. The list of revs ends at the first empty line or EOF. Note that you still have to give all the flags from the command line; only rev arguments (including A..B, A...B, and A^@ notations) can be give from the standard input.

'A...B' is a shortcut for 'A B --not $(git-merge-base --all A B)'. This XOR-like operation is called symmetric difference in set theory. The symbol '...' has been chosen because it's rather similar to the existing '..' operator and the somewhat more natural caret ('^') is already taken.

Well, assuming breaking --merge-order is fine, here's a patch (on top of the other ones) that makes git log <filename> actually work, as far as I can tell.
