2007-09-25gitattributes.txt: Be more to the point in the filter driver description.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-5/+4
The description was meant to emphasizes that the project should remain usable even if the filter driver was not used. This makes it more explicit and removes the "here is rope to hang yourself" paraphrase. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

interaction. The order in which 'ident' and 'crlf' are carried out is documented a few paragraphs later again, after 'filter' was introduced. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-09-06archive: rename attribute specfile to export-substLibravatar René Scharfe1-3/+3
As suggested by Junio and Johannes, change the name of the former attribute specfile to export-subst to indicate its function rather than purpose and to make clear that it is not applied to working tree files.

2007-09-06archive: specfile syntax change: "$Format:%PLCHLDR$" instead of just ↵Libravatar René Scharfe1-1/+4
"%PLCHLDR" (take 2) As suggested by Johannes, --pretty=format: placeholders in specfiles need to be wrapped in $Format:...$ now. This syntax change restricts the expansion of placeholders and makes it easier to use with files that contain non-placeholder percent signs.

2007-09-03archive: specfile support (--pretty=format: in archive files)Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+14
Add support for a new attribute, specfile. Files marked as being specfiles are expanded by git-archive when they are written to an archive. It has no effect on worktree files. The same placeholders as those for the option --pretty=format: of git-log et al. can be used. The attribute is useful for creating auto-updating specfiles. It is limited by the underlying function format_commit_message(), though. E.g. currently there is no placeholder for git-describe like output, and expanded specfiles can't contain NUL bytes. That can be fixed in format_commit_message() later and will then benefit users of git-log, too.

2007-07-30Documentation/gitattributes.txt: typofixLibravatar David Soria Parra1-1/+1
The file used for per-repository attribute setting is not $GIT_DIR/info/gitattributes, but $GIT_DIR/info/attributes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-07-08Document custom hunk header selectionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+51
Since the external interface seems to have stabilized for this new feature, let's document it properly. Acked-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-05-14Use $Id$ as the ident attribute keyword rather than $ident$ to be consistent ↵Libravatar Andy Parkins1-3/+3
with other VCSs $Id$ is present already in SVN and CVS; it would mean that people converting their existing repositories won't have to make any changes to the source files should they want to make use of the ident attribute. Given that it's a feature that's meant to calm those very people, it seems obtuse to make them edit every file just to make use of it. I think that bzr uses $Id$; Mercurial has examples hooks for $Id$; monotone has $Id$ on its wishlist. I can't think of a good reason not to stick with the de-facto standard and call ours $Id$ instead of $ident$.

2007-04-24Add 'filter' attribute and external filter driver definition.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+39
The interface is similar to the custom low-level merge drivers. First you configure your filter driver by defining 'filter.<name>.*' variables in the configuration. filter.<name>.clean filter command to run upon checkin filter.<name>.smudge filter command to run upon checkout Then you assign filter attribute to each path, whose name matches the custom filter driver's name. Example: (in .gitattributes) *.c filter=indent (in config) [filter "indent"] clean = indent smudge = cat Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-04-24Add 'ident' conversion.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+29
The 'ident' attribute set to path squashes "$ident:<any bytes except dollor sign>$" to "$ident$" upon checkin, and expands it to "$ident: <blob SHA-1> $" upon checkout. As we have two conversions that affect checkin/checkout paths, clarify how they interact with each other. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
