2009-04-22Documentation: git-svn: fix a grammatical error without awkwardnessLibravatar Wesley J. Landaker1-1/+1
The way the sentence is currently written, there needs to be an "its", but this leads to: "however the remote wildcard may be anywhere as long as it's its own" which is awkward to read. Instead, this patch fixes he grammar in a simpler way. Signed-off-by: Wesley J. Landaker <wjl@icecavern.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-22Documentation: git-svn: fix spurious bolding that mangles the outputLibravatar Wesley J. Landaker1-1/+1
Without this fix, the output looks like: "Keep in mind that the (asterisk) wildcard of the local ref (right of the :) *must be the ..." -- with half the sentence spuriously bold. This fixes the problem by simply escaping asciidoc syntax as suggested by Jeff King <peff@peff.net>. Signed-off-by: Wesley J.

2009-04-11git-svn: Save init/clone --ignore-paths in configLibravatar Ben Jackson1-0/+4

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>

2009-04-01Documentation: git-svn: fix trunk/fetch svn-remote key typoLibravatar Wesley J. Landaker1-1/+1
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. This makes the timestamps of a resulting "git log" agree with what "svn log" shows for the same repository. Signed-off-by: Pete Harlan <pgit@pcharlan.com> Acked-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

2008-11-14Documentation: git-svn: fix example for centralized SVN cloneLibravatar Jan Krüger1-0/+2
The example that tells users how to centralize the effort of the initial git svn clone operation doesn't work properly. It uses rebase but that only works if HEAD exists. This adds one extra command to create a somewhat sensible HEAD that should work in all cases.

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! (And also purposely undocumented, but the loaded gun is there in case somebody wants to make it safe).

git-svnimport is no longer supported, so don't mention it in the documentation.

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. Using doit () { perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }' } for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \ merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt do doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i" done git diff .

2008-07-01Documentation formatting and cleanupLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-67/+66
Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`. While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

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>

git-svn blame produced output in the format of git blame; in environments where there are scripts that read the output of svn blame, it's useful to be able to use them with the output of git-svn. The git-compatible format is still available using the new "--git-format" option. This also fixes a bug in the initial git-svn blame implementation; it was bombing out on uncommitted local changes.
