2008-05-25log --graph --left-right: show left/right information in place of '*'Libravatar Adam Simpkins1-1/+1
With the --graph option, the graph already outputs 'o' instead of '*' for boundary commits. Make it emit '<' or '>' when --left-right is specified. (This change also disables the '^' prefix for UNINTERESTING commits. The graph code currently doesn't print anything special for these commits, since it assumes no UNINTERESTING, non-BOUNDARY commits are displayed. This is potentially a bug if UNINTERESTING non-BOUNDARY commits can actually be displayed via some code path.) [jc: squashed the left-right change from Dscho and Adam's fixup into one] Signed-off-by: Adam Simpkins <adam@adamsimpkins.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-03-05run-command: Redirect stderr to a pipe before redirecting stdout to stderrLibravatar Christian Couder1-3/+4
With this patch, in the 'start_command' function after forking we now take care of stderr in the child process before stdout. This way if 'start_command' is called with a 'child_process' argument like this: .err = -1; .stdout_to_stderr = 1; then stderr will be redirected to a pipe before stdout is redirected to stderr. So we can now get the process' stdout from the pipe (as well as its stderr). Earlier such a call would have redirected stdout to stderr before stderr was itself redirected, and therefore stdout would not have followed stderr, which would not have been very useful anyway. Update documentation in 'api-run-command.txt' accordingly.

2008-01-16close_lock_file(): new function in the lockfile APILibravatar Brandon Casey1-3/+12
The lockfile API is a handy way to obtain a file that is cleaned up if you die(). But sometimes you would need this sequence to work: 1. hold_lock_file_for_update() to get a file descriptor for writing; 2. write the contents out, without being able to decide if the results should be committed or rolled back; 3. do something else that makes the decision --- and this "something else" needs the lockfile not to have an open file descriptor for writing (e.g. Windows do not want a open file to be renamed); 4. call commit_lock_file() or rollback_lock_file() as appropriately. This adds close_lock_file() you can call between step 2 and 3 in the above sequence. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Most of them are still stubs, but the procedure to build the HTML documentation, maintaining the index and installing the end product are there. I placed names of people who are likely to know the most about the topic in the stub files, so that volunteers will know whom to ask questions as needed.

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.
