2018-06-12git-p4: add option to disable syncing of p4/master with p4Libravatar Luke Diamand1-0/+8
Add an option to the git-p4 submit command to disable syncing with Perforce. This is useful for the case where a git-p4 mirror has been setup on a server somewhere, running from (e.g.) cron, and developers then clone from this. Having the local cloned copy also sync from Perforce just isn't useful. Signed-off-by: Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-06-12git-p4: add options --commit and --disable-rebaseLibravatar Romain Merland1-0/+14
On a daily work with multiple local git branches, the usual way to submit only a specified commit was to cherry-pick the commit on master then run git-p4 submit. It can be very annoying to switch between local branches and master, only to submit one commit. The proposed new way is to select directly the commit you want to submit. Add option --commit to command 'git-p4 submit' in order to submit only specified commit(s) in p4. On a daily work developping software with big compilation time, one may not want to rebase on his local git tree, in order to avoid long recompilation. Add option --disable-rebase to command 'git-p4 submit' in order to disable rebase after submission.

2018-04-24http-fetch: make `-a` standard behaviourLibravatar Martin Ågren1-8/+5
This is a follow-up to a6c786fce8 (Mark http-fetch without -a as deprecated, 2011-08-23). For more than six years, we have been warning when `-a` is not provided, and the documentation has been saying that `-a` will become the default. It is a bit unclear what "default" means here. There is no such thing as `http-fetch --no-a`. But according to my searches, no-one has been asking on the mailing list how they should silence the warning and prepare for overriding the flipped default. So let's assume that everybody is happy with `-a`. They should be, since not using it may break the repo in such a way that Git itself is unable to fix it. Always behave as if `-a` was given. Since `-a` implies `-c` (get commit objects) and `-t` (get trees), all three options are now unnecessary. Document all of these as historical artefacts that have no effect. Leave no-op code for handling these options in http-fetch.c. The options-handling is currently rather loose. If someone tightens it, we will not want these ignored options to accidentally turn into hard errors. Since `-a` was the only safe and sane usage and we have been pushing people towards it for a long time, refrain from warning when it is used "unnecessarily" now. Similarly, do not add anything scary-looking to the man-page about how it will be removed in the future. We can always do so later.

2018-04-23builtin/config: introduce `color` type specifierLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+6
As of this commit, the canonical way to retreive an ANSI-compatible color escape sequence from a configuration file is with the `--get-color` action. This is to allow Git to "fall back" on a default value for the color should the given section not exist in the specified configuration(s). With the addition of `--default`, this is no longer needed since: $ git config --default red --type=color core.section will be have exactly as: $ git config --get-color core.section red For consistency, let's introduce `--type=color` and encourage its use with `--default` together over `--get-color` alone.

2018-04-23builtin/config: introduce `--default`Libravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+4
For some use cases, callers of the `git-config(1)` builtin would like to fallback to default values when the variable asked for does not exist. In addition, users would like to use existing type specifiers to ensure that values are parsed correctly when they do exist in the configuration. For example, to fetch a value without a type specifier and fallback to `$fallback`, the following is required: $ git config core.foo || echo "$fallback" This is fine for most values, but can be tricky for difficult-to-express `$fallback`'s, like ANSI color codes. This motivates `--get-color`, which is a one-off exception to the normal type specifier rules wherein a user specifies both the configuration variable and an optional fallback. Both are formatted according to their type specifier, which eases the burden on the user to ensure that values are correctly formatted. This commit (and those following it in this series) aim to eventually replace `--get-color` with a consistent alternative. By introducing `--default`, we allow the `--get-color` action to be promoted to a `--type=color` type specifier, retaining the "fallback" behavior via the `--default` flag introduced in this commit. For example, we aim to replace: $ git config --get-color variable [default] [...] with: $ git config --default default --type=color variable [...] Values filled by `--default` behave exactly as if they were present in the affected configuration file; they will be parsed by type specifiers without the knowledge that they are not themselves present in the configuration. Specifically, this means that the following will work: $ git config --int --default 1M does.not.exist 1048576 In subsequent commits, we will offer `--type=color`, which (in conjunction with `--default`) will be sufficient to replace `--get-color`.

2018-04-19builtin/config.c: support `--type=<type>` as preferred alias for `--<type>`Libravatar Taylor Blau1-32/+39
`git config` has long allowed the ability for callers to provide a 'type specifier', which instructs `git config` to (1) ensure that incoming values can be interpreted as that type, and (2) that outgoing values are canonicalized under that type. In another series, we propose to extend this functionality with `--type=color` and `--default` to replace `--get-color`. However, we traditionally use `--color` to mean "colorize this output", instead of "this value should be treated as a color". Currently, `git config` does not support this kind of colorization, but we should be careful to avoid squatting on this option too soon, so that `git config` can support `--color` (in the traditional sense) in the future, if that is desired. In this patch, we support `--type=<int|bool|bool-or-int|...>` in addition to `--int`, `--bool`, and etc. This allows the aforementioned upcoming patch to support querying a color value with a default via `--type=color --default=...`, without squandering `--color`. We retain the historic behavior of complaining when multiple, legacy-style `--<type>` flags are given, as well as extend this to conflicting new-style `--type=<type>` flags. `--int --type=int` (and its commutative pair) does not complain, but `--bool --type=int` (and its commutative pair) does.

2018-04-18git-submodule.txt: quote usage in monospace, drop backslashLibravatar Martin Ågren1-2/+2
We tend to quote command line examples using `` to set them in a monospace font. The immediate motivation for this patch is to get rid of another instance of \--. As noted in the previous commits, \-- has a tendency of rendering badly. Here, it renders ok (at least with AsciiDoc 8.6.9 and Asciidoctor 1.5.4), but by getting rid of this instance, we reduce the chances of \-- cropping up in places where it matters more.

2018-04-18git-[short]log.txt: unify quoted standalone --Libravatar Martin Ågren2-3/+3
In git-log.txt, we have an instance of \--, which is known to sometimes render badly. This one is even worse than normal though, since ``\-- '' (with or without that trailing space) appears to be entirely broken, both in HTML and manpages, both with AsciiDoc (version 8.6.9) and Asciidoctor (version 1.5.4). Further down in git-log.txt we have a ``--'', which renders good. In git-shortlog.txt, we use "\-- " (including the quotes and the space), which happens to look fairly good. I failed to find any other similar instances. So all in all, we quote a double-dash in three different places and do it differently each time, with various degrees of success. Switch all of these to `--`. This sets the double-dash in monospace and matches what we usually do with example command line usages and options. Note that we drop the trailing space as well, since `-- ` does not render well. These should still be clear enough since just a few lines above each instance, the space is clearly visible in a longer context. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren <martin.agren@gmail.com>
2018-04-18doc: convert [\--] to [--]Libravatar Martin Ågren3-5/+5
Commit 1c262bb7b (doc: convert \--option to --option, 2015-05-13) explains that we used to need to write \--option to play well with older versions of AsciiDoc, but that we do not support such versions anymore anyway, and that Asciidoctor literally renders \--. With [\--], which is used to denote the optional separator between revisions and paths, Asciidoctor renders the backslash literally. Change all [\--] to [--]. This changes nothing for AsciiDoc version 8.6.9, but is an improvement for Asciidoctor version 1.5.4. We use double-dashes in several list entries (\--::). In my testing, it appears that we do need to use the backslash there, so leave those. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren <martin.agren@gmail.com>

All other encodings are usually interpreted as binary and consequently built-in Git text processing tools (e.g. 'git diff') as well as most Git web front ends do not visualize the content. Add an attribute to tell Git what encoding the user has defined for a given file. If the content is added to the index, then Git reencodes the content to a canonical UTF-8 representation.
