2007-11-18push: use same rules as git-rev-parse to resolve refspecsLibravatar Steffen Prohaska1-1/+3
This commit changes the rules for resolving refspecs to match the rules for resolving refs in rev-parse. git-rev-parse uses clear rules to resolve a short ref to its full name, which are well documented. The rules for resolving refspecs documented in git-send-pack were less strict and harder to understand. This commit replaces them by the rules of git-rev-parse. The unified rules are easier to understand and better resolve ambiguous cases. You can now push from a repository containing several branches ending on the same short name. Note, this may break existing setups. For example, "master" will no longer resolve to "origin/master" even when there is no other "master" elsewhere.

2007-10-15Add a --dry-run option to git-send-pack.Libravatar Brian Ewins1-1/+4
Implement support for --dry-run, so that it can be used in calls from git-push. With this flag set, git-send-pack will not send any updates to the server.

2007-01-19rename --exec to --receive-pack for push and send-packLibravatar Uwe Kleine-König1-2/+5
For now it's just to get a more descriptive name. Later we might update the push protocol to run more than one program on the other end. Moreover this matches better the corresponding config option remote.<name>. receivepack. --exec continues to work Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <zeisberg@informatik.uni-freiburg.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-10-03[PATCH] Random documentation fixesLibravatar Jonas Fonseca1-4/+4
The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy: - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on included files. - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional info. - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc. - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text. - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----) for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML block. - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists. - Fix linking to other GIT docs. - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.
