2007-06-24git-svn: trailing slash in prefix is mandatory with --branches/-bLibravatar Gerrit Pape1-3/+4
Make clear in the documentation that when using --branches/-b and --prefix with 'init', the prefix must include a trailing slash. This matches the actual behavior of git-svn, e.g.: $ git svn init -Ttrunk -treleases -bbranches --prefix xxx \ http://svn.sacredchao.net/svn/quodlibet/ --prefix='xxx' must have a trailing slash '/' $ This was noticed by R. Vanicat and reported through http://bugs.debian.org/429443 Signed-off-by: Gerrit Pape <pape@smarden.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-22Document git-gui, git-citool as mainporcelain manual pagesLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce3-0/+149
Jakub Narebski pointed out that the git-gui blame viewer is not a widely known feature, but is incredibly useful. Part of the issue is advertising. Up until now we haven't even referenced git-gui from within the core Git manual pages, mostly because I just wasn't sure how I wanted to supply git-gui documentation to end-users, or how that documentation should integrate with the core Git documentation. Based upon Jakub's comment that many users may not even know that the gui is available in a stock Git distribution I'm offering up two basic manual pages: git-citool and git-gui. These should offer enough of a starting point for users to identify that the gui exists, and how to start it. Future releases of git-gui may contain their own documentation system available from within a running git-gui. But not today. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-06-16Documentation: adjust to AsciiDoc 8Libravatar Junio C Hamano4-4/+8
It turns out that the attribute definition we have had for a long time to hide "^" character from AsciiDoc 7 was not honored by AsciiDoc 8 even under "-a asciidoc7compatible" mode. There is a similar breakage with the "compatible" mode with + characters. The double colon at the end of definition list term needs to be attached to the term, without a whitespace. After this minimum fixups, AsciiDoc 8 (I used 8.2.1 on Debian) with compatibility mode seems to produce reasonably good results. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-15gitmodules(5): remove leading period from synopsisLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-1/+1
Asciidoc treats a line starting with a period followed by a title as a blocktitle element. My introduction of gitmodules(5) unfortunatly broke the documentation build process due to this processing, since it made asciidoc generate an illegal (empty) synopsis element. Removing the leading period fixes the problem and also makes gitmodules(5) use the same synopsis notation as gitattributes(5).

Earlier, a second "-C" on the command line had no effect. But "--find-copies-harder" is so long to type, let's make doubled -C enable that option. It is in line with how "git blame" handles such doubled options to mean "work harder".

2007-06-09git-blame -w: ignore whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+6
When refactoring code to split one iteration of a too deeply nested loop into a separate function, it inevitably makes the indentation levels shallower (that's the sole point of such a refactoring). With "git blame -w", you can ignore such re-indentation and pass blame for such moved lines to the parent. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-06-08cvsserver: Add some useful commandline optionsLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-0/+42
Make git-cvsserver understand some options inspired by git-daemon, namely --base-path, --export-all, --strict-paths. Also allow the caller to specify a whitelist of allowed directories, again similar to git-daemon. While already adding option parsing also support the common --help and --version options. Rationale: While the gitcvs.enabled configuration option already offers means to limit git-cvsserver access to a repository, there are some use cases where other methods of access control prove to be more useful. E.g. if setting up a pserver for a collection of public repositories one might want limit the exported repositories to exactly the directory this collection is located whithout having to worry about other repositories that might lie around with the configuration variable set (never trust your users ;) Signed-off-by: Frank Lichtenheld <frank@lichtenheld.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The <pattern> for -l is now a shell pattern, not a list of grep parameters. Option -l may be repeated with another <pattern>. The new -n [<num>] option specifies how many lines from the annotation are to be printed. Not specifieing -n or -n 0 will just produce the tag names Just -n or -n 1 will show the first line of the annotation on the tag line. Other valuse for -n will show that number of lines from the annotation. The exit code used to indicate if any tag was found. This is changed due to a different implementation. A good way to test a tag for existence is to use: git show-ref --quiet --verify refs/tags/$TAGNAME Signed-off-by: Matthijs Melchior <mmelchior@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
