2007-09-01URL: allow port specification in ssh:// URLsLibravatar Luben Tuikov1-1/+3
Allow port specification in ssh:// URLs in the usual notation: ssh://[user@]host.domain[:<port>]/<path> This allows git to be used over ssh-tunneling networks. Signed-off-by: Luben Tuikov <ltuikov@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-08-01git-clone: aggressively optimize local clone behaviour.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+10
This changes the behaviour of cloning from a repository on the local machine, by defaulting to "-l" (use hardlinks to share files under .git/objects) and making "-l" a no-op. A new option, --no-hardlinks, is also added to cause file-level copy of files under .git/objects while still avoiding the normal "pack to pipe, then receive and index pack" network transfer overhead. The old behaviour of local cloning without -l nor -s is availble by specifying the source repository with the newly introduced file:///path/to/repo.git/ syntax (i.e. "same as network" cloning). * With --no-hardlinks (i.e. have all .git/objects/ copied via cpio) would not catch the source repository corruption, and also risks corrupted recipient repository if an alpha-particle hits memory cell while indexing and resolving deltas. As long as the recipient is created uncorrupted, you have a good back-up. * same-as-network is expensive, but it would catch the breakage of the source repository. It still risks corrupted recipient repository due to hardware failure. As long as the recipient is created uncorrupted, you have a good back-up. * The new default on the same filesystem, as long as the source repository is healthy, it is very likely that the recipient would be, too. Also it is very cheap. You do not get any back-up benefit, though. None of the method is resilient against the source repository corruption, so let's discount that from the comparison. Then the difference with and without --no-hardlinks matters primarily if you value the back-up benefit or not. If you want to use the cloned repository as a back-up, then it is cheaper to do a clone with --no-hardlinks and two git-fsck (source before clone, recipient after clone) than same-as-network clone, especially as you are likely to do a git-fsck on the recipient if you are so paranoid anyway. Which leads me to believe that being able to use file:/// is probably a good idea, if only for testability, but probably of little practical value. We default to hardlinked clone for everyday use, and paranoids can use --no-hardlinks as a way to make a back-up. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-07-05Add urls.txt to git-clone man pageLibravatar Andrew Ruder1-54/+0
Since git-clone is one of the many commands taking URLs to remote repositories as an argument, it should include the URL-types list from urls.txt. Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt. The latter should be used by anything besides git-clone where a discussion of using .git/config and .git/remotes/ to name URLs just doesn't make as much sense.

2006-12-31Fix formatting for urls section of fetch, pull, and push manpagesLibravatar Theodore Tso1-12/+14
Updated to make the nroff'ed man pages look nicer. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-30Fix formatting for urls section of fetch, pull, and push manpagesLibravatar Theodore Ts'o1-7/+16
The line: [remote "<remote>"] was getting swallowed up by asciidoc, causing a critical line in the explanation for how to store the .git/remotes information in .git/config to go missing from the git-fetch, git-pull, and git-push manpages. Put all of the examples into delimited blocks to fix this problem and to make them look nicer. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-07-14Documentation/urls.txt: Use substitution to escape square bracketsLibravatar Jonas Fonseca1-8/+9
This changes "[user@]" to use {startsb} and {endsb} to insert [ and ], similar to how {caret} is used in git-rev-parse.txt. [jc: Removed a well-intentioned comment that broke the final formatting from the original patch. While we are at it, updated the paragraph that claims to be equivalent to the section that was updated earlier without making matching changes.] Signed-off-by: Jonas Fonseca <fonseca@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Earlier commit c3f17061 broke asciidoc markup. Noticed by Alp Toker with a fix, but fixed up in a way with smaller formatting impact. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-02-06Docs: move git url and remotes text to separate sectionsLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-13/+19
The sections on git urls and remotes files in the git-fetch, git-pull, and git-push manpages seem long enough to be worth a manpage section of their own. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-02-06Docs: split up pull-fetch-param.txtLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-0/+62
The push and pull man pages include a bunch of shared text from pull-fetch-param.txt. This simplifies maintenance somewhat, but there's actually quite a bit of text that applies only to one or the other. So, separate out the push- and pull/fetch-specific text into pull-fetch-param.txt and git-push.txt, then include the largest chunk of common stuff (the description of protocols and url's) from urls.txt. That cuts some irrelevant stuff from the man pages without making us duplicate too much. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
