2015-05-12doc: drop backslash quoting of some curly bracesLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+7
Text like "{foo}" triggers an AsciiDoc attribute; we have to write "\{foo}" to suppress this. But when the "foo" is not a syntactically valid attribute, we can skip the quoting. This makes the source nicer to read, and looks better under Asciidoctor. With AsciiDoc itself, this patch produces no changes.

2014-11-11doc: add some crossrefs between manual pagesLibravatar Max Horn1-0/+6
In particular, git-fast-import and -export link to each other, and gitremote-helpers links to existing remote helpers, and vice versa. Also link to fast-import from the remote helper spec, as this is relevant for remote helpers using the fast-import format.

2014-03-18Merge branch 'fc/transport-helper-fixes'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
Updates transport-helper, fast-import and fast-export to allow the ref mapping and ref deletion in a way similar to the natively supported transports. * fc/transport-helper-fixes: remote-bzr: support the new 'force' option test-hg.sh: tests are now expected to pass transport-helper.c: do not overwrite forced bit transport-helper: check for 'forced update' message transport-helper: add 'force' to 'export' helpers transport-helper: don't update refs in dry-run transport-helper: mismerge fix

2013-09-03transport-helper: add no-private-update capabilityLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+5
Since 664059fb (transport-helper: update remote helper namespace, 2013-04-17), a 'push' operation on a remote helper updates the private ref by default. This is often a good thing, but it can also be desirable to disable this update to force the next 'pull' to re-import the pushed revisions. Allow remote-helpers to disable the automatic update by introducing a new capability. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The current documentation mentions the private ref namespace, but does not really explain why it can be useful. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This is an extension of c6807a4 (clone: open a shortcut for connectivity check - 2013-05-26) to reduce the cost of connectivity check at clone time, this time with smart http protocol. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Update transport helper to report errors and maintain ref hierarchy used to keep track of remote helper state better. * fc/transport-helper-error-reporting: transport-helper: fix remote helper namespace regression test: remote-helper: add missing and t5801: "VAR=VAL shell_func args" is forbidden transport-helper: update remote helper namespace transport-helper: trivial code shuffle transport-helper: warn when refspec is not used transport-helper: clarify pushing without refspecs transport-helper: update refspec documentation transport-helper: clarify *:* refspec transport-helper: improve push messages transport-helper: mention helper name when it dies transport-helper: report errors properly
2013-04-17transport-helper: clarify pushing without refspecsLibravatar Felipe Contreras1-2/+2
This has never worked, since it's inception the code simply skips all the refs, essentially telling fast-export to do nothing. Let's at least tell the user what's going on. Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-04-17transport-helper: update refspec documentationLibravatar Felipe Contreras1-5/+5
The refspec capability is not only used by 'import', also by 'export', and it's recommended in both. Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-04-17transport-helper: clarify *:* refspecLibravatar Felipe Contreras1-2/+2
The *:* refspec doesn't work, and never has, clarify the code and documentation to reflect that. This in effect reverts commit 9e7673e (gitremote-helpers(1): clarify refspec behaviour). Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-04-15transport-helper: add 'signed-tags' capabilityLibravatar John Keeping1-0/+4
This allows a remote helper using the 'export' protocol to specify that it supports signed tags, changing the handing from 'warn-strip' to 'verbatim'. Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-04-07gitremote-helpers(1): clarify refspec behaviourLibravatar John Keeping1-2/+2
The documentation says that "If no 'refspec' capability is advertised, there is an implied `refspec *:*`" but this is only the case for the "import" command. Since there is a comment in transport-helper.c indicating that this default is for historical reasons, change the documentation to clarify that a refspec should always be specified.

2013-02-07Merge branch 'jk/remote-helpers-doc'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+423
"git help remote-helpers" did not work; 'remote-helpers' is not a subcommand name but a concept, so its documentation should have been in gitremote-helpers, not git-remote-helpers. * jk/remote-helpers-doc: Rename {git- => git}remote-helpers.txt
2013-02-01Rename {git- => git}remote-helpers.txtLibravatar John Keeping1-0/+423
When looking up a topic via "git help <topic>", git-help prepends "git-" to topics that are the names of commands (either builtin or found on the path) and "git" (no hyphen) to any other topic name. "git-remote-helpers" is not the name of a command, so "git help remote-helpers" looks for "gitremote-helpers" and does not find it. Fix this by renaming "git-remote-helpers.txt" to "gitremote-helpers.txt". Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
