2009-07-25git svn: revert default behavior for --minimize-urlLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+11
This reverts the --minimize-url behavior change that appeared recently in commit 0b2af457a49e3b00d47d556d5301934d27909db8 ("Fix branch detection when repository root is inaccessible"). However, we now allow the option to be turned off by allowing "--no-minimize-url" so people with limited-access setups can still take advantage of the fix in 0b2af457a49e3b00d47d556d5301934d27909db8. Also document the behavior and default settings of minimize-url in the manpage for the first time. This introduces a temporary UI regression to allow t9141 to pass that will be reverted (fixed) in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

2009-06-25Add 'git svn reset' to unwind 'git svn fetch'Libravatar Ben Jackson1-1/+58
Add a command to unwind the effects of fetch by moving the rev_map and refs/remotes/git-svn back to an old SVN revision. This allows revisions to be re-fetched. Ideally SVN revs would be immutable, but permissions changes in the SVN repository or indiscriminate use of '--ignore-paths' can create situations where fetch cannot make progress.

2009-06-25git-svn: let 'dcommit $rev' work on $rev instead of HEADLibravatar Thomas Rast1-2/+3
'git svn dcommit' takes an optional revision argument, but the meaning of it was rather scary. It completely ignored the current state of the HEAD, only looking at the revisions between SVN and $rev. If HEAD was attached to $branch, the branch lost all commits $rev..$branch in the process. Considering that 'git svn dcommit HEAD^' has the intuitive meaning "dcommit all changes on my branch except the last one", we change the meaning of the revision argument. git-svn temporarily checks out $rev for its work, meaning that * if a branch is specified, that branch (_not_ the HEAD) is rebased as part of the dcommit, * if some other revision is specified, as in the example, all work happens on a detached HEAD and no branch is affected.

2009-05-21git-svn: add --authors-prog optionLibravatar Mark Lodato1-0/+8
Add a new option, --authors-prog, to git-svn that allows a more flexible alternative (or supplement) to --authors-file. This allows more advanced username operations than the authors file will allow. For example, one may look up Subversion users via LDAP, or may generate the name and email address from the Subversion username. Notes: * If both --authors-name and --authors-prog are given, the former is tried first, falling back to the later. * The program is called once per unique SVN username, and the result is cached. * The command-line argument must be the path to a program, not a generic shell command line. The absolute path to this program is taken at startup since the git-svn script changes directory during operation. * The option is not enabled for `git svn log'.

2009-04-11git-svn: Add per-svn-remote ignore-paths configLibravatar Ben Jackson1-7/+15
The --ignore-paths option to fetch is very useful for working on a subset of a SVN repository. For proper operation, every command that causes a fetch (explicit or implied) must include a matching --ignore-paths option. This patch adds a persistent svn-remote.$repo_id.ignore-paths config by promoting Fetcher::is_path_ignored to a member function and initializing $self->{ignore_regex} in Fetcher::new. Command line --ignore-paths is still recognized and acts in addition to the config value. Signed-off-by: Ben Jackson <ben@ben.com> Acked-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

Fix the git-svn documentation svn-remote example section talking about tags and branches by using the proper key "fetch" instead of "trunk". Using "trunk" actually might be nice, but it doesn't currently work. The fetch line for the trunk was also reordered to be at the top of the list, since most people think about the trunk/tags/branches trio in that logical order. Signed-off-by: Wesley J.

2009-02-11git-svn: allow disabling expensive broken symlink checksLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+8
Since dbc6c74d0858d77e61e092a48d467e725211f8e9, git-svn has had an expensive check for broken symlinks that exist in some repositories. This leads to a heavy performance hit on repositories with many empty blobs that are not supposed to be symlinks. The workaround is enabled by default; and may be disabled via: git config svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround false Reported by Markus Heidelberg. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

2009-01-18git-svn: Add --localtime option to "fetch"Libravatar Pete Harlan1-0/+11
By default git-svn stores timestamps of fetched commits in Subversion's UTC format. Passing --localtime to fetch will convert them to the timezone of the server on which git-svn is run.

2008-08-08git-svn: add ability to specify --commit-url for dcommitLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+9
This allows one to use public svn:// URLs for fetch and svn+ssh:// URLs for committing (without using the complicated rewriteRoot option, reimporting or git-filter-branch). Using this can also help avoid unnecessary server authentication/encryption overhead on busy SVN servers. Along with the new --revision option, this can also be allowed to override the branch detection in dcommit, too. This is potentially dangerous and not recommended!

2008-07-05manpages: italicize nongit command names (if they are in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
Some manual pages use teletype font to set command names. We change them to use italics, instead. This creates a visual distinction between names of commands and command lines that can be typed at the command line. It is also more consistent with other man pages outside Git. In this patch, the commands named are non-git commands like bash. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-53/+53
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages.

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.

2008-07-01Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-17/+17
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. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
