2012-01-10Documentation: rerere's rr-cache auto-creation and rerere.enabledLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
The description of rerere.enabled left the user in the dark as to who might create an rr-cache directory. Add a note that simply invoking rerere does this. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* maint-1.7.6: Documentation: rerere.enabled is the primary way to configure rerere
2012-01-06Documentation: rerere.enabled is the primary way to configure rerereLibravatar Thomas Rast1-4/+4
The wording seems to suggest that creating the directory is needed and the setting of rerere.enabled is only for disabling the feature by setting it to 'false'. But the configuration is meant to be the primary control and setting it to 'true' will enable it; the rr-cache directory will be created as necessary and the user does not have to create it.

2011-10-23RelNotes/1.7.7.1: setgid bit patch is about fixing "git init" via Makefile ↵Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+3
setting The change was actually about "git init -s" which sets the setgid bit on SysV-style systems to allow shared access to a repository, and can provoke errors on BSD-style systems, depending on how permissive the filesystem in use wants to be. More to the point, the patch was just taking a fix that arrived for FreeBSD in v1.5.5 days and making it also apply to machines using an (obscure) GNU userland/FreeBSD kernel mixture.

2011-09-26git-read-tree.txt: update sparse checkout examplesLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+2
The negation example uses '*' to match everything. This used to work before 9037026 (unpack-trees: fix sparse checkout's "unable to match directories") because back then, the list of paths is used to match sparse patterns, so with the patterns * !subdir/ subdir/ always matches any path that start with subdir/ and "*" has no chance to get tested. The result is subdir is excluded. After the said commit, a tree structure is dynamically created and sparse pattern matching now follows closely how read_directory() applies .gitignore. This solves one problem, but reveals another one. With this new strategy, "!subdir/" rule will be only tested once when "subdir" directory is examined. Entries inside subdir, when examined, will match "*" and are (correctly) re-added again because any rules without a slash will match at every directory level. In the end, "*" can revert every negation rules. In order to correctly exclude subdir, we must use /* !subdir to limit "match all" rule at top level only. "*" rule has no actual use in sparse checkout and can be confusing to users. While we can automatically turn "*" to "/*", this violates .gitignore definition. Instead, discourage "*" in favor of "/*" (in the second example). Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-09-26mergetool: Use args as pathspec to unmerged filesLibravatar Jonathon Mah1-3/+4
Mergetool now treats its path arguments as a pathspec (like other git subcommands), restricting action to the given files and directories. Files matching the pathspec are filtered so mergetool only acts on unmerged paths; previously it would assume each path argument was in an unresolved state, and get confused when it couldn't check out their other stages. Running "git mergetool subdir" will prompt to resolve all conflicted blobs under subdir.
