2010-11-29status: show branchname with a configurable colorLibravatar Aleksi Aalto1-1/+2
You can tell "git status" to paint the name of the current branch in its output (the line that says "On branch ...") by setting the configuration variable color.status.branch; it is by default turned off. Signed-off-by: Aleksi Aalto <aga@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-11-12git-send-email.perl: make initial In-Reply-To apply only to first emailLibravatar Antonio Ospite1-5/+20
When an initial --in-reply-to is supplied, make it apply only to the first message; --[no-]chain-reply-to setting are honored by second and subsequent messages; this is also how the git-format-patch option with the same name behaves. Moreover, when $initial_reply_to is asked to the user interactively it is asked as the "Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the _first_ email", this makes the user think that the second and subsequent patches are not using it but are considered as replies to the first message or chained according to the --[no-]chain-reply setting. Look at the v2 series in the illustration to see what the new behavior ensures: (before the patch) | (after the patch) [PATCH 0/2] Here is what I did... | [PATCH 0/2] Here is what I did... [PATCH 1/2] Clean up and tests | [PATCH 1/2] Clean up and tests [PATCH 2/2] Implementation | [PATCH 2/2] Implementation [PATCH v2 0/3] Here is a reroll | [PATCH v2 0/3] Here is a reroll [PATCH v2 1/3] Clean up | [PATCH v2 1/3] Clean up [PATCH v2 2/3] New tests | [PATCH v2 2/3] New tests [PATCH v2 3/3] Implementation | [PATCH v2 3/3] Implementation This is the typical behaviour we want when we send a series with cover letter in reply to some discussion, the new patch series should appear as a separate subtree in the discussion. Also update the documentation on --in-reply-to to describe the new behavior. Signed-off-by: Antonio Ospite <ospite@studenti.unina.it> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-11-09docs: give more hints about how "add -e" worksLibravatar Jeff King1-28/+76
The previous text was not exactly accurate; it is OK to change space and minus lines, but only in certain ways. This patch takes a whole new approach, which is to describe the sorts of conceptual operations you might want to perform. It also includes a healthy dose of warnings about how things can go wrong. Since the size of the text is getting quite long, it also splits this out into an "editing patches" section. This makes more sense with the current structure, anyway, which already splits out the interactive mode description.

* maint: Documentation: document show -s dir.c: fix EXC_FLAG_MUSTBEDIR match in sparse checkout
2010-11-09Documentation: document show -sLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-0/+7
Git's diff machinery has supported a -s (silence diff output) option as far back as v0.99~900 (Silent flag for show-diff, 2005-04-13), but the option is only advertised in an odd corner of the git diff-tree manual. The main use is to retrieve basic metadata about a commit: git show -s rev Explain this in the 'git log' manual and provide an example in the 'git show' examples section. This is kind of a cop-out, since it would be more useful to explain it in the 'git show' manual proper, which says: The command takes options applicable to the git diff-tree command to control how the changes the commit introduces are shown. This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. Fixing that is a larger task for another day.

2010-11-03user-manual.txt: explain better the remote(-tracking) branch termsLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-3/+16
Now that the documentation is mostly consistant in the use of "remote branch" Vs "remote-tracking branch", let's make this distinction explicit early in the user-manual. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-11-03Change incorrect uses of "remote branch" meaning "remote-tracking"Libravatar Matthieu Moy6-15/+18
"remote branch" is a branch hosted in a remote repository, while "remote-tracking branch" is a copy of such branch, hosted locally. The distinction is subtle when the copy is up-to-date, but rather fundamental to understand what "git fetch" and "git push" do. This patch should fix all incorrect usages in Documentation/ directory.

2010-11-03Replace "remote tracking" with "remote-tracking"Libravatar Matthieu Moy8-9/+9
"remote-tracking" branch makes it explicit that the branch is "tracking a remote", as opposed to "remote, and tracking something". See discussion in e.g. http://mid.gmane.org/8835ADF9-45E5-4A26-9F7F-A72ECC065BB2@gmail.com for more details. This patch is a straightforward application of perl -pi -e 's/remote tracking branch/remote-tracking branch/' except in the RelNotes directory.

2010-11-03Better "Changed but not updated" message in git-statusLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+1
Older Gits talked about "updating" a file to add its content to the index, but this terminology is confusing for new users. "to stage" is far more intuitive and already used in e.g. the "git stage" command name. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The previous text was not exactly accurate; it is OK to change space and minus lines, but only in certain ways. This patch attempts to cover explicitly what can be done at the individual line level, and cautions the user that conceptually larger changes (like modifying a line) require some understanding of the patch format.
