2012-05-14pack-protocol: fix first-want separator in the examplesLibravatar Carlos Martín Nieto1-2/+2
When sending the "want" list, the capabilities list is separated from the obj-id by a SP instead of NUL as in the ref advertisement. The text is correct, but the examples wrongly show the separator as NUL. Fix the example so it uses SP.

2011-10-03pack-protocol: document "ERR" lineLibravatar Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy1-0/+7
Since a807328 (connect.c: add a way for git-daemon to pass an error back to client), git client recognizes "ERR" line and prints a friendly message to user if an error happens at server side. Document this. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-11-13Update packfile transfer protocol documentationLibravatar Scott Chacon1-41/+494
The current technical documentation for the packfile protocol is both sparse and incorrect. This documents the fetch-pack/upload-pack and send-pack/ receive-pack protocols much more fully. Add documentation from Shawn's upcoming http-protocol docs that is shared by the packfile protocol. protocol-common.txt describes ABNF notation amendments, refname rules and the packet line format. Add documentation on the various capabilities supported by the upload-pack and receive-pack protocols. protocol-capabilities.txt describes multi-ack, thin-pack, side-band[-64k], shallow, no-progress, include-tag, ofs-delta, delete-refs and report-status.
