2008-08-11Re-fix rev-list-options documentationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+1
18a2197 (Documentation: rev-list-options: Fix -g paragraph formatting, 2008-08-10) introduced the third paragraph that is continued, but it seems to confuse docbook toolchain on FC9 machines. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-08-10Documentation: rev-list-options: Fix -g paragraph formattingLibravatar Thomas Rast1-2/+2
- Add an escape to @{now}. Without the escape, the brace does something magic and eats half the sentence up to the closing brace at 'timestamp}'. - Join the last paragraph with a '+'. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-08-08builtin-rm: Add a --force flagLibravatar Pieter de Bie1-1/+2
This adds a --force flag to git-rm, making it somewhat easier for subversion people to switch. Signed-off-by: Pieter de Bie <pdebie@ai.rug.nl> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-08-08Documentation: filter-branch: document how to filter all refsLibravatar Thomas Rast1-5/+16
Document the '--' option that can be used to pass rev-list options (not just arguments), and give an example usage of '-- --all'. Remove reference to "the new branch name"; filter-branch takes arbitrary arguments to rev-list since dfd05e3.

2008-08-08Documentation: user-manual: "git commit -a" doesn't motivate .gitignoreLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+2
"git commit -a" ignores untracked files and follows all tracked files, regardless of whether they are listed in .gitignore. So don't use it to motivate gitignore.

2008-08-08git-svn: add ability to specify --commit-url for dcommitLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+9
This allows one to use public svn:// URLs for fetch and svn+ssh:// URLs for committing (without using the complicated rewriteRoot option, reimporting or git-filter-branch). Using this can also help avoid unnecessary server authentication/encryption overhead on busy SVN servers. Along with the new --revision option, this can also be allowed to override the branch detection in dcommit, too. This is potentially dangerous and not recommended! (And also purposely undocumented, but the loaded gun is there in case somebody wants to make it safe).

2008-08-08Documentation: commit-tree: remove 16 parents restrictionLibravatar Thomas Rast1-5/+5

2008-08-07asciidoc markup fixesLibravatar Junio C Hamano3-5/+5
I see quite a few pages on k.org site, e.g. http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rerere.html (scroll down to find "After this test merge") are misformatted to lose teletype text '+' that is followed by a comma, and turns the following paragraph all typeset in teletype. This patch seems to fix the issue at the site (meaning, with the particular vintage of asciidoc and docbook toolchain), without breaking things with the version I have at my primary development machine, but wider testing is very much appreciated. After this patch, git grep '`+`,' -- Documentation should report noting. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-08-05fix diff-tree --stdin documentationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
Long time ago, the feature of "diff-tree --stdin" to take a commit and its parents on one line was broken, and did not support the common: git rev-list --parents $commits... -- $paths... | git diff-tree --stdin -v -p usage pattern by Porcelains properly. For diff-tree to talk sensibly about commits, it needs to see commits, not just trees; the code was fixed to take list of commits on the standard input in 1.2.0. However we left the documentation stale for a long time, until Karl Hasselström finally noticed it very recently. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

git-add -i ranges expect number-number. But for the supremely lazy, typing in that second number when selecting "from patch 7 to the end" is wasted effort. So treat an empty second number in a range as "until the last item". Signed-off-by: Ciaran McCreesh <ciaran.mccreesh@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-07-30documentation: user-manual: update "using-bisect" sectionLibravatar Christian Couder1-6/+21
Since version 1.5.6 "git bisect" doesn't use a "bisect" branch any more, but the user manual had not been updated to reflect this. So this patch does that and while at it also adds a few words about "git bisect skip" and points user to the "git bisect" man page for more information.

Although it does not matter for Git itself, tools that export to systems that explicitly track copies and renames can benefit from such information.

git-svnimport is no longer supported, so don't mention it in the documentation. This also updates the description, removing the historical discussion, since it mostly dealt with how it differed from svnimport.

2008-07-28Make use of stat.ctime configurableLibravatar Alex Riesen2-0/+12
A new configuration variable 'core.trustctime' is introduced to allow ignoring st_ctime information when checking if paths in the working tree has changed, because there are situations where it produces too much false positives. Like when file system crawlers keep changing it when scanning and using the ctime for marking scanned files. The default is to notice ctime changes.
