2007-01-21Revert "prune: --grace=time"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+1
This reverts commit 9b088c4e394df84232cfd37aea78349a495b09c1. Protecting 'mature' objects does not make it any safer. We should admit that git-prune is inherently unsafe when run in parallel with other operations without involving unwarranted locking overhead, and with the latest git, even rebase and reset would not immediately create crufts anyway.
2007-01-21Documentation/tutorial-2: Fix interesting typo in an example.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
Marco Candrian noticed that one cat-file example refers to a blob object that is never used in the example sequence. The bug is interesting in that the output from the botched sample command is consistent with the incorrect blob object name ;-). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-20prune: --grace=timeLibravatar Matthias Lederhofer1-1/+8
This option gives grace period to objects that are unreachable from the refs from getting pruned. The default value is 24 hours and may be changed using gc.prunegrace. Signed-off-by: Matthias Lederhofer <matled@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-01-19show-branch --reflog: show the reflog message at the top.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+12
This changes the output so the list at the top shows the reflog message, along with their relative timestamps. You can use --reflog=<n> to show <n> most recent log entries, or use --reflog=<n>,<b> to show <n> entries going back from the entry <b>. <b> can be either a number (so --reflog=4,20 shows 4 records starting from @{20}) or a timestamp (e.g. --reflog='4,1 day'). Here is a sample output (with --list option): $ git show-branch --reflog=10 --list jc/show-reflog [jc/show-reflog@{0}] (3 minutes ago) commit (amend): show-branch --ref [jc/show-reflog@{1}] (5 minutes ago) reset HEAD^ [jc/show-reflog@{2}] (14 minutes ago) commit: show-branch --reflog: sho [jc/show-reflog@{3}] (14 minutes ago) commit: show-branch --reflog: sho [jc/show-reflog@{4}] (18 minutes ago) commit (amend): Extend read_ref_a [jc/show-reflog@{5}] (18 minutes ago) commit (amend): Extend read_ref_a [jc/show-reflog@{6}] (18 minutes ago) commit (amend): Extend read_ref_a [jc/show-reflog@{7}] (18 minutes ago) am: read_ref_at(): allow retrievi [jc/show-reflog@{8}] (18 minutes ago) reset --hard HEAD~4 [jc/show-reflog@{9}] (61 minutes ago) commit: show-branch --reflog: use This shows what I did more cleanly: $ git show-branch --reflog=10 jc/show-reflog !

I first saved them with "format-patch -4", and then did a reset at @{8}. At @{7}, I applied one of them with "am", and then used "git-apply" on the other one, and amended the commit at @{6} (so @{6} and @{7} has the same parent). I did not like the log message, so I amended again at @{5}. Then I cherry-picked @{9}~2 to create @{3} (the log message shows that it needs to learn to set GIT_REFLOG_ACTION -- it uses "git-commit" and the log entry is attributed for it). Another cherry-pick built @{2} out of @{9}, but what I wanted to do was to squash these two into one, so I did a "reset HEAD^" at @{1} and then made the final commit by amending what was at the top.

2007-01-19rename --exec to --receive-pack for push and send-packLibravatar Uwe Kleine-König2-4/+10
For now it's just to get a more descriptive name. Later we might update the push protocol to run more than one program on the other end. Moreover this matches better the corresponding config option remote.<name>. receivepack. --exec continues to work Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <zeisberg@informatik.uni-freiburg.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-19make --exec=... option to git-push configurableLibravatar Uwe Kleine-König1-0/+4
Having to specify git push --exec=... is annoying if you cannot have git-receivepack in your PATH on the remote side (or don't want to). This introduces the config item remote.<name>.receivepack to override the default value (which is "git-receive-pack").

2007-01-19Documentation/git.txt: command re-classificationLibravatar Junio C Hamano3-48/+86
This adds two new classes (pure-helpers and "Interacting with Others") to the command list in the main manual page. The latter class is primarily about foreign SCM interface and is placed before low-level (plumbing) commands. Also it promotes a handful commands to mainporcelain category while demoting some others.

2007-01-17git-format-patch -3Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
This teaches "git-format-patch" to honor the --max-count parameter revision traversal machinery takes, so that you can say "git-format-patch -3" to process the three topmost commits from the current HEAD (or "git-format-patch -2 topic" to name a specific branch).

2007-01-17Refer users to git-rev-parse for revision specification syntax.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce7-1/+17

2007-01-15Fix git-fetch while on detached HEAD not to give needlessly alarming errorsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+9
When we are on a detached HEAD, there is no current branch. There is no reason to leak the error messages to the end user since this is a situation we expect to see. This adds -q option to git-symbolic-ref to exit without issuing an error message if the given name is not a symbolic ref. By the way, with or without this patch, there currently is no good way to tell failure modes between "git symbolic-ref HAED" and "git symbolic-ref HEAD". Both says "is not a symbolic ref". We may want to do something about it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
