2014-12-05Merge branch 'tq/git-ssh-command'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-12/+14
Allow passing extra set of arguments when ssh is invoked to create an encrypted & authenticated connection by introducing a new environment variable GIT_SSH_COMMAND, whose contents is interpreted by shells. This is not possible with existing GIT_SSH mechanism whose invocation bypasses shells, which was designed more to match what other programs with similar variables did, not necessarily to be more useful. * tq/git-ssh-command: git_connect: set ssh shell command in GIT_SSH_COMMAND

2014-11-10git_connect: set ssh shell command in GIT_SSH_COMMANDLibravatar Thomas Quinot1-12/+14
It may be impractical to install a wrapper script for GIT_SSH when additional parameters need to be passed. Provide an alternative way of specifying a shell command to be run, including command line arguments, by means of the GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable, which behaves like GIT_SSH but is passed to the shell. The special circuitry to modify parameters in the case of using PuTTY's plink/tortoiseplink is activated only when using GIT_SSH; in the case of using GIT_SSH_COMMAND, it is deliberately left up to the user to make any required parameters adaptation before calling the underlying ssh implementation.

2014-10-10doc: add 'everyday' to 'git help'Libravatar Philip Oakley1-2/+2
The "Everyday GIT With 20 Commands Or So" is not accessible via the Git help system. Move everyday.txt to giteveryday.txt so that "git help everyday" works, and create a new placeholder file everyday.html to refer people who follow existing URLs to the updated location. giteveryday.txt now formats well with AsciiDoc as a man page and refreshed content to a more command modern style. Add 'everyday' to the help --guides list and update git(1) and 5 other links to giteveryday. Signed-off-by: Philip Oakley <philipoakley@iee.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-08-05config: teach "git -c" to recognize an empty stringLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
In a config file, you can do: [foo] bar to turn the "foo.bar" boolean flag on, and you can do: [foo] bar= to set "foo.bar" to the empty string. However, git's "-c" parameter treats both: git -c foo.bar and git -c foo.bar= as the boolean flag, and there is no way to set a variable to the empty string. This patch enables the latter form to do that. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-07-13git: add performance tracing for git's main() function to debug scriptsLibravatar Karsten Blees1-0/+5
Use trace_performance to measure and print execution time and command line arguments of the entire main() function. In constrast to the shell's 'time' utility, which measures total time of the parent process, this logs all involved git commands recursively. This is particularly useful to debug performance issues of scripted commands (i.e. which git commands were called with which parameters, and how long did they execute). Due to git's deliberate use of exit(), the implementation uses an atexit routine rather than just adding trace_performance_since() at the end of main(). Usage example: > GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=~/git-trace.log git stash list Creates a log file like this: 23:57:38.638765 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000310107 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--git-dir' 23:57:38.644387 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000261759 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--show-toplevel' 23:57:38.646207 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000304468 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-colorbool' 'color.interactive' 23:57:38.648491 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000241667 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-color' 'color.interactive.help' 'red bold' 23:57:38.650465 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000243063 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-color' '' 'reset' 23:57:38.654850 trace.c:405 performance: 0.025126313 s: git command: 'git' 'stash' 'list' Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Respect a GIT_INDEX_VERSION environment variable, when a new index is initialized. Setting the environment variable will not cause existing index files to be converted to another format, but will only affect newly written index files. This can be used to initialize repositories with index-v4.

2013-12-06difftool: display the number of files in the diff queue in the promptLibravatar Zoltan Klinger1-0/+9
When --prompt option is set, git-difftool displays a prompt for each modified file to be viewed in an external diff program. At that point, it could be useful to display a counter and the total number of files in the diff queue. Below is the current difftool prompt for the first of 5 modified files: Viewing: 'diff.c' Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]: Consider the modified prompt: Viewing (1/5): 'diff.c' Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]: The current GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF mechanism does not tell the number of paths in the diff queue nor the current counter. To make this "counter/total" info available for GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF programs without breaking existing ones by doing the following: - Keep track of the number of paths shown so far in diff_options; - Export two new environment variables from run_external_diff() to show the total number of paths (from diff_queue_struct) and the current value of the counter (from diff_options); and - Update git-difftool--helper to use these two environment variables.
