Rewrite the gc section using unresolved and resolved instead of "not recorded". Add plurals and missing articles. Make some sentences have consistent tense. Try and be more active by removing "that" and simplifying sentences. The terms "hand-resolve" and "hand resolve" were used, so just use "hand resolve" to be more consistent.

2009-06-09Documentation: mention 'git stash pop --index' option explicitlyLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-8/+8
'git stash pop' supports the '--index' option since its initial implementation (bd56ff54, git-stash: add new 'pop' subcommand, 2008-02-22), but its documentation does not mention it explicitly. Moreover, both the usage shown by 'git stash -h' and the synopsis section in the man page imply that 'git stash pop' does not have an '--index' option. First, this patch corrects the usage and the synopsis section. Second, the patch moves the description of the '--index' option to the 'git stash pop' section in the documentation, and refers to it from the 'git stash apply' section. This way it follows the intentions of commit d1836637 (Documentation: teach stash/pop workflow instead of stash/apply, 2009-05-28), as all 'git stash pop'-related documentation will be in one place without references to 'git stash apply'.

2009-06-03Rename submodule.<name>.rebase to submodule.<name>.updateLibravatar Johan Herland2-4/+10
The addition of "submodule.<name>.rebase" demonstrates the usefulness of alternatives to the default behaviour of "git submodule update". However, by naming the config variable "submodule.<name>.rebase", and making it a boolean choice, we are artificially constraining future git versions that may want to add _more_ alternatives than just "rebase". Therefore, while "submodule.<name>.rebase" is not yet in a stable git release, future-proof it, by changing it from submodule.<name>.rebase = true/false to submodule.<name>.update = rebase/checkout where "checkout" specifies the default behaviour of "git submodule update" (checking out the new commit to a detached HEAD), and "rebase" specifies the --rebase behaviour (where the current local branch in the submodule is rebase onto the new commit). Thus .update == checkout is equivalent to .rebase == false, and .update == rebase is equivalent to .rebase == true. Finally, leaving .update unset is equivalent to leaving .rebase unset. In future git versions, other alternatives to "git submodule update" behaviour can be included by adding them to the list of allowable values for the submodule.<name>.update variable.

2009-05-25fix cat-file usage message and documentationLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
cat-file with an object on the command line requires an option to tell it what to output (type, size, pretty-print, etc). However, the square brackets in the usage imply that those options are not required. This patch switches them to parentheses to indicate "required but grouped-OR" (curly braces might also work, but this follows the convention used already by "git stash"). While we're at it, let's change the <sha1> specifier in the usage to <object>. That's what the documentation uses, and it does actually use the regular object lookup.

2009-05-25parse-opts: add OPT_FILENAME and transition builtinsLibravatar Stephen Boyd1-0/+5
Commit dbd0f5c (Files given on the command line are relative to $cwd, 2008-08-06) introduced parse_options_fix_filename() as a minimal fix. OPT_FILENAME is intended to be a more robust fix for the same issue. OPT_FILENAME and its associated enum OPTION_FILENAME are used to represent filename options within the parse options API. This option is similar to OPTION_STRING. If --no is prefixed to the option the filename is unset. If no argument is given and the default value is set, the filename is set to the default value. The difference is that the filename is prefixed with the prefix passed to parse_options() (or parse_options_start()). Update git-apply, git-commit, git-fmt-merge-msg, and git-tag to use OPT_FILENAME with their filename options. Also, rename parse_options_fix_filename() to fix_filename() as it is no longer extern.

2009-05-25parse-opts: prepare for OPT_FILENAMELibravatar Stephen Boyd1-2/+2
To give OPT_FILENAME the prefix, we pass the prefix to parse_options() which passes the prefix to parse_options_start() which sets the prefix member of parse_opts_ctx accordingly. If there isn't a prefix in the calling context, passing NULL will suffice. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <bebarino@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-05-21git-svn: add --authors-prog optionLibravatar Mark Lodato1-0/+8
Add a new option, --authors-prog, to git-svn that allows a more flexible alternative (or supplement) to --authors-file. This allows more advanced username operations than the authors file will allow. For example, one may look up Subversion users via LDAP, or may generate the name and email address from the Subversion username. Notes: * If both --authors-name and --authors-prog are given, the former is tried first, falling back to the later. * The program is called once per unique SVN username, and the result is cached. * The command-line argument must be the path to a program, not a generic shell command line. The absolute path to this program is taken at startup since the git-svn script changes directory during operation. * The option is not enabled for `git svn log'.
