The git-cvsimport argument that specifies a cvs module to import should probably be included in the default example. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-03-01Documentation/build-docdep.perl: Fix dependencies for included asciidoc filesLibravatar Sergey Vlasov1-5/+1
Adding dependencies on included files to the generated man pages is wrong - includes are processed by asciidoc, therefore the intermediate Docbook XML files really depend on included files. Because of these wrong dependencies the man pages were not rebuilt properly if the intermediate XML files were left in the tree.

2007-02-19git-clone: Sync documentation to usage note.Libravatar Christian Schlotter2-3/+3
Documentation advertises the new `--depth <n>' parameter with an equal sign, while the usage notes (shown after `git-clone --help') do not. If I understood git-clone's source code correctly, the version without the equal sign is correct, which is why this patch syncs documentation to the usage note.

Since `git add` is the approved porcelain for an end-user to invoke when they want to manipulate the index, porcelain documentation should steer the user to this command rather than the pure plumbing update-index.

2007-02-17Attempt to improve git-rebase lead-in description.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-8/+14
It was mentioned on #git this morning that the lead-in description of git-rebase is very confusing. Too many branch this and branch that in a very short run of text. This new description attempts to walk the user through the command syntax, while also describing exactly what git-rebase is doing to their repository. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-02-14Clarify two backward incompatible repository options.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+8
It was unclear if the backward compatible features were disabled or the configuration variables that controls them were set to false by default from the description. Obviously we meant the former, but the problem was made worse by the fact that one configuration variable breaks compatibility when set to true and the other one breaks it when set to false.

2007-02-12fast-import: Support reusing 'from' and brown paper bag fix reset.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-11/+10
It was suggested on the mailing list that being able to use `from` in any commit to reset the current branch is useful in some types of importers, such as a darcs importer. We originally did not permit resetting an existing branch with a new `from` command during a `commit` command, but this restriction was only to help debug the hacked up cvs2svn that Jon Smirl was developing in parallel with git-fast-import. It is probably more of a problem to disallow it than to allow it. So now we permit a `from` during any `commit`. While making the changes required to permit multiple `from` commands on the same branch, I discovered we no longer needed the last_commit field to be set to 0 during a reset, so that was removed. (Reset was originally setting the field to 0 to signal cmd_from() that it was OK to execute on the branch.) While poking around in this section of fast-import I also realized the `reset` command was not working as intended if the corresponding `from` command was omitted (as allowed by the BNF grammar and the code). If `from` was omitted we cleared out the tree but we left the tree SHA-1 and parent commit SHA-1 intact. This is not what the user intended in this case. Instead they would be trying to reset the branch to have no parent and to have no tree, making the branch look new-born during the next commit. We now clear these SHA-1 values during `reset`, ensuring the branch looks new-born if `from` does not get supplied. New test cases for these were also added. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2007-02-11fast-import: Hide the pack boundary commits by default.Libravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+9
Most users don't need the pack boundary information that fast-import was printing to standard output, especially if they were calling it with --quiet. Those users who do want this information probably want it captured so they can go back and use it to repack the imported repository. So dumping the boundary commits to a log file makes more sense then printing them to standard output. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
