"git branch --set-upstream origin/master" is a common mistake to create a local branch 'origin/master' and set it to integrate with the current branch.

People who are not used to working with shell may intellectually understand how the command line argument is massaged by the shell but still have a hard time visualizing the difference between letting the shell expand fileglobs and having Git see the fileglob to use as a pathspec.

2012-09-07ls-remote: document the '--get-url' optionLibravatar Stefan Naewe1-0/+5
While looking for a way to expand the URL of a remote that uses a 'url.<name>.insteadOf' config option I stumbled over the undocumented '--get-url' option of 'git ls-remote'. This adds some minimum documentation for that option. And while at it, also add that option to the '-h' output.

2012-09-06remote: prefer subcommand name 'remove' to 'rm'Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+2
All remote subcommands are spelled out words except 'rm'. 'rm', being a popular UNIX command name, may mislead users that there are also 'ls' or 'mv'. Use 'remove' to fit with the rest of subcommands. 'rm' is still supported and used in the test suite. It's just not widely advertised.

2012-09-02argv-array: add pop functionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
Sometimes we build a set of similar command lines, differing only in the final arguments (e.g., "fetch --multiple"). To use argv_array for this, you have to either push the same set of elements repeatedly, or break the abstraction by manually manipulating the array's internal members. Instead, let's provide a sanctioned "pop" function to remove elements from the end. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-08-31merge-base: "--is-ancestor A B"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+28
In many scripted Porcelain commands, we find this idiom: if test "$(git rev-parse --verify A)" = "$(git merge-base A B)" then ... A is an ancestor of B ... fi But you do not have to compute exact merge-base only to see if A is an ancestor of B. Give them a more direct way to use the underlying machinery.

2012-08-30teach log --no-walk=unsorted, which avoids sortingLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-3/+8
When 'git log' is passed the --no-walk option, no revision walk takes place, naturally. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, however, the provided revisions still get sorted by commit date. So e.g 'git log --no-walk HEAD HEAD~1' and 'git log --no-walk HEAD~1 HEAD' give the same result (unless the two revisions share the commit date, in which case they will retain the order given on the command line). As the commit that introduced --no-walk (8e64006 (Teach revision machinery about --no-walk, 2007-07-24)) points out, the sorting is intentional, to allow things like git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk to show all refs in order by commit date. But there are also other cases where the sorting is not wanted, such as <command producing revisions in order> | git log --oneline --no-walk --stdin To accomodate both cases, leave the decision of whether or not to sort up to the caller, by allowing --no-walk={sorted,unsorted}, defaulting to 'sorted' for backward-compatibility reasons.
