2013-02-01Documentation: avoid poor-man's small caps GITLibravatar Thomas Ackermann1-1/+1
In the earlier days, we used to spell the name of the system as GIT, to simulate as if it were typeset with capital G and IT in small caps. Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days. Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation. The name to refer to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the command end-users type is "git". And document this in the coding guideline. Signed-off-by: Thomas Ackermann <th.acker@arcor.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

When attempting to read the XDG-style $HOME/.config/git/config and finding that $HOME/.config/git is a file, we gave a wrong error message, instead of treating the case as "a custom config file does not exist there" and moving on. * jn/warn-on-inaccessible-loosen: config: exit on error accessing any config file doc: advertise GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors config, gitignore: failure to access with ENOTDIR is ok

2012-12-19add global --literal-pathspecs optionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+15
Git takes pathspec arguments in many places to limit the scope of an operation. These pathspecs are treated not as literal paths, but as glob patterns that can be fed to fnmatch. When a user is giving a specific pattern, this is a nice feature. However, when programatically providing pathspecs, it can be a nuisance. For example, to find the latest revision which modified "$foo", one can use "git rev-list -- $foo". But if "$foo" contains glob characters (e.g., "f*"), it will erroneously match more entries than desired. The caller needs to quote the characters in $foo, and even then, the results may not be exactly the same as with a literal pathspec. For instance, the depth checks in match_pathspec_depth do not kick in if we match via fnmatch. This patch introduces a global command-line option (i.e., one for "git" itself, not for specific commands) to turn this behavior off. It also has a matching environment variable, which can make it easier if you are a script or porcelain interface that is going to issue many such commands. This option cannot turn off globbing for particular pathspecs. That could eventually be done with a ":(noglob)" magic pathspec prefix. However, that level of granularity is more cumbersome to use for many cases, and doing ":(noglob)" right would mean converting the whole codebase to use "struct pathspec", as the usual "const char **pathspec" cannot represent extra per-item flags.

2012-10-14doc: advertise GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEMLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+8
On a multiuser system where mortals do not have write access to /etc, the GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM variable is the best tool we have to keep getting work done when a syntax error or other problem renders /etc/gitconfig buggy, until the sysadmin sorts the problem out. Noticed while experimenting with teaching git to error out when /etc/gitconfig is unreadable.

The second paragraph in the git(1) description section were meant to guide people who are not ready to dive into this page away from here. Referring migrating CVS users to another page before they get acquainted with Git was somewhat out of place. Move the reference to the "FURTHER DOCUMENTATION" section and push that section down.
