2013-07-03git-config: update doc for --get with multiple valuesLibravatar John Keeping1-1/+1
Since commit 00b347d (git-config: do not complain about duplicate entries, 2012-10-23), "git config --get" does not exit with an error if there are multiple values for the specified key but instead returns the last value. Update the documentation to reflect this. Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-05-20Documentation/diff-index: mention two modes of operationLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+6
"diff-index" can be used to compare a tree with the tracked working tree files (when used without the --index option), or with the index (when used with the --index option). The text however did not say anything about the comparison with the working tree at all. Fix this.

2013-05-20git-svn: clarify explanation of --destination argumentLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-5/+14
The existing documentation for "-d" does not make it obvious whether its argument is supposed to be a full svn path, a partial svn path, the glob from the config file, or what. Clarify the text and add an example to get the reader started.

2013-05-20git-svn: multiple fetch/branches/tags keys are supportedLibravatar Nathan Gray1-0/+12
"git svn" can be configured to use multiple fetch, branches, and tags refspecs by passing multiple --branches or --tags options at init time or editing the configuration file later, which can be handy when working with messy Subversion repositories. Add a note to the configuration section documenting how this works. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

2013-05-09git-svn: added an --include-path flagLibravatar Paul Walmsley1-0/+12
The SVN::Fetcher module is now able to filter for inclusion as well as exclusion (as used by --ignore-path). Also added tests, documentation changes and git completion script. If you have an SVN repository with many top level directories and you only want a git-svn clone of some of them then using --ignore-path is difficult as it requires a very long regexp. In this case it's much easier to filter for inclusion. [ew: remove trailing whitespace] Signed-off-by: Paul Walmsley <pjwhams@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

2013-04-28upload-pack: ignore 'shallow' lines with unknown obj-idsLibravatar Michael Heemskerk1-2/+1
When the client sends a 'shallow' line for an object that the server does not have, the server currently dies with the error: "did not find object for shallow <obj-id>". The client may have truncated the history at the commit by fetching shallowly from a different server, or the commit may have been garbage collected by the server. In either case, this unknown commit is not relevant for calculating the pack that is to be sent and can be safely ignored, and it is not used when recomputing where the updated history of the client is cauterised. The documentation in technical/pack-protocol.txt has been updated to remove the restriction that "Clients MUST NOT mention an obj-id which it does not know exists on the server". This requirement is not realistic because clients cannot know whether an object has been garbage collected by the server.
