2007-08-19Document what the stage numbers in the :$n:path syntax mean.Libravatar Steven Grimm1-1/+4
The git-rev-parse manpage talks about the :$n:path notation (buried deep in a list of other syntax) but it just says $n is a "stage number" -- someone who is not familiar with the internals of git's merge implementation is never going to be able to figure out that "1", "2", and "3" means.

2007-08-10Fix an illustration in git-rev-parse.txtLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1

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.

2007-06-06introduce GIT_WORK_TREE to specify the work treeLibravatar Matthias Lederhofer1-0/+4
setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently. The work tree can be specified using the environment variable GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment variable has precendence over the config option). Additionally there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the environment variable. setup_gdg does the following now: GIT_DIR unspecified repository in .git directory parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree, GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored GIT_DIR unspecified repository in cwd GIT_DIR is set to cwd see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and also see the note below GIT_DIR specified GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified cwd is used as work tree GIT_DIR specified GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified the specified work tree is used Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd: GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true. I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls setup_gdg should do the same thing every time. Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir: (1) is_bare_repository A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not named .git). The bare option disables a few protective checks which are useful with a working tree. Currently this changes if a repository is bare: updates of HEAD are allowed git gc packs the refs the reflog is disabled by default (2) is_inside_work_tree True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there is one), false otherwise. (3) is_inside_git_dir True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise. Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare repositories. When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is always called. This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified. inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a repository. The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

2007-03-29Documentation/git-rev-parse.txt: fix example in SPECIFYING RANGES.Libravatar Gerrit Pape1-8/+8
Please see http://bugs.debian.org/404795: In git-rev-parse(1), there is an example commit tree, which is used twice. The explanation for this tree is very clear: B and C are commit *parents* to A. However, when the tree is reused as an example in the SPECIFYING RANGES, the manpage author screws up and uses A as a commit *parent* to B and C! I.e., he inverts the tree. And the fact that for this example you need to read the tree backwards is not explained anywhere (and it would be confusing even if it was).

2007-02-24object name: introduce ':/<oneline prefix>' notationLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+7
To name a commit, you can now say $ git rev-parse ':/Initial revision of "git"' and it will return the hash of the youngest commit whose commit message (the oneline) begins with the given prefix. For future extension, a leading exclamation mark is treated specially: if you want to match a commit message starting with a '!', just repeat the exclamation mark. So, to match a commit which starts with '!Hello World', use $ git show ':/!!Hello World' Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-10-31Introduce a new revision set operator <rev>^!Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+10
This is a shorthand for "<rev> --not <rev>^@", i.e. "include this commit but exclude any of its parents". When a new file $F is introduced by revision $R, this notation can be used to find a copy-and-paste from existing file in the parents of that revision without annotating the ancestry of the lines that were copied from: git pickaxe -f -C $R^! -- $F Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-05-19Change 'master@noon' syntax to 'master@{noon}'.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-5/+6
Its ambiguous to parse "master@2006-05-17 18:30:foo" when foo is meant as a file name and ":30" is meant as 30 minutes past 6 pm. Therefore all date specifications in a sha1 expression must now appear within brackets and the ':' splitter used for the path name in a sha1 expression ignores ':' appearing within brackets.

Extended sha1 expressions may now include date specifications which indicate a point in time within the local repository's history. If the ref indicated to the left of '@' has a log in $GIT_DIR/logs/<ref> then the value of the ref at the time indicated by the specification is obtained from the ref's log. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
