2009-10-13git: add --no-replace-objects option to disable replacingLibravatar Christian Couder2-1/+26
Commit dae556b (environment: add global variable to disable replacement) adds a variable to enable/disable replacement, and it is enabled by default for most commands. So there is no way to disable it for some commands, which is annoying when we want to get information about a commit that has been replaced. For example: $ git cat-file -p N would output information about the replacement commit if commit N is replaced. With the "--no-replace-objects" option that this patch adds it is possible to get information about the original commit using: $ git --no-replace-objects cat-file -p N While at it, let's add some documentation about this new option in the "git replace" man page too.

2009-10-09Documentation: clone: clarify discussion of initial branchLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+3
When saying the initial branch is equal to the currently active remote branch, it is probably intended that the branch heads point to the same commit. Maybe it would be more useful to a new user to emphasize that the tree contents and history are the same. More important, probably, is that this new branch is set up so that "git pull" merges changes from the corresponding remote branch. The next paragraph addresses that directly. What the reader needs to know to begin with is that (1) the initial branch is your own; if you do not pull, it won't get updated, and that (2) the initial branch starts out at the same commit as the upstream.

2009-10-09Documentation: clarify branch creationLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-8/+8
The documentation seems to assume that the starting point for a new branch is the tip of an existing (ordinary) branch, but that is not the most common case. More often, "git branch" is used to begin a branch from a remote-tracking branch, a tag, or an interesting commit (e.g. origin/pu^2). Clarify the language so it can apply to these cases. Thanks to Sean Estabrooks for the wording. Also add a pointer to the user's manual for the bewildered.

2009-10-09Documentation: clarify mergeoptions descriptionLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-3/+3
Sounds better this way, at least to my ears. ("The syntax and supported options of git merge" is a plural noun. "the same" instead of "equal" sounds less technical and seems to convey the meaning better here.) Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-10-09Documentation: git fmt-merge-msg does not have to be a scriptLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-5/+6
The fmt-merge-message builtin can be invoked as "git fmt-merge-msg" rather than through the hard link in GIT_EXEC_PATH. Although this is unlikely to confuse most script writers, it should not hurt to make the documentation a little clearer anyway.

2009-09-13git-archive: infer output format from filename when unspecifiedLibravatar Dmitry Potapov1-2/+11
A command line $ git archive -o my-v2.0.zip v2.0 almost certainly wants the output in zip format, even though it does not specify any --format option. When --format is not given, but output filename is, try to infer what format is requested from the filename extension. Currently this code only knows about '.zip'. When the format is unspecified and the filename does not tell us, the output will be in 'tar' format as before. Of course, an explicit --format will not trigger this guesswork.

2009-09-13git-archive: add '-o' as a alias for '--output'Libravatar Dmitry Potapov1-1/+2
The '-o' option is commonly used in many tools to specify the output file. Typing '--output' every time is a bit too long to be a practical alternative to redirecting output. But specifying the output name has the advantage of making possible to guess the desired output format by filename extension.
