2011-03-11doc: add missing git footersLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
Almost every page has a footer that links back to the main git(1) page. Let's add it on the few that are missing it.
2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+0
The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

2011-01-07git svn: fix the final example in man pageLibravatar StephenB1-1/+4
'git-remote add' creates a remote.origin.fetch entry in the config, we want to replace this entry rather than add another one (which will cause 'git fetch' to error). This adds 'git config --remove-section remote.origin' after the fetch for encouraging users to only use "git svn" for future updates.

2010-01-23git-svn: allow subset of branches/tags to be specified in glob specLibravatar Jay Soffian1-0/+16
For very large projects it is useful to be able to clone a subset of the upstream SVN repo's branches. Allow for this by letting the left-side of the branches and tags glob specs contain a brace-delineated comma-separated list of names. e.g.: branches = branches/{red,green}/src:refs/remotes/branches/* Signed-off-by: Jay Soffian <jaysoffian@gmail.com> Acked-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2010-01-23git-svn: allow UUID to be manually remapped via rewriteUUIDLibravatar Jay Soffian1-3/+12
In certain situations it may be necessary to manually remap an svn repostitory UUID. For example: o--- [git-svn clone] / [origin svn repo] \ o--- [svnsync clone] Imagine that only "git-svn clone" and "svnsync clone" are made available to external users. Furthur, "git-svn clone" contains only trunk, and for reasons unknown, "svnsync clone" is missing the revision properties that normally provide the origin svn repo's UUID. A git user who has cloned the "git-svn clone" repo now wishes to use git-svn to pull in the missing branches from the "synsync clone" repo. In order for git-svn to get the history correct for those branches, it needs to know the origin svn repo's UUID. Hence rewriteUUID.

2009-11-16Document git-svn's first-parent ruleLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+10
git-svn has the following rule to detect the SVN base for its operations: find the first git-svn-id line reachable through first-parent ancestry.

2009-11-15git svn: attempt to create empty dirs on clone+rebaseLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+7
We parse unhandled.log files for empty_dir statements and make a best effort attempt to recreate empty directories on fresh clones and rebase. This should cover the majority of cases where users work off a single branch or for projects where branches do not differ in empty directories. Since this cannot affect "normal" git commands like "checkout" or "reset", so users switching between branches in a single working directory should use the new "git svn mkdirs" command after switching branches.

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>

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.

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 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.
