2020-05-07credential: document protocol updatesLibravatar Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón1-13/+21
Document protocol changes after CVE-2020-11008, including the removal of references to the override of attributes which is no longer recommended after CVE-2020-5260 and that might be removed in the future. While at it do some improvements for clarity and consistency. Signed-off-by: Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón <carenas@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-05-07credential: update gitcredentials documentationLibravatar Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón1-8/+18
Clarify the expected effect of all attributes and how the helpers are expected to handle them and the context where they operate. While at it, space the descriptions for clarity, and add a paragraph mentioning the early termination in the list processing of helpers, to complement the one about the special "quit" attribute.

Both "git ls-remote -h" and "git grep -h" give short usage help, like any other Git subcommand, but it is not unreasonable to expect that the former would behave the same as "git ls-remote --head" (there is no other sensible behaviour for the latter).

2020-03-11git-rebase.txt: highlight backend differences with commit rewordingLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+10
As noted by Junio: Back when "git am" was written, it was not considered a bug that the "git am --resolved" option did not offer the user a chance to update the log message to match the adjustment of the code the user made, but honestly, I'd have to say that it is a bug in "git am" in that over time it wasn't adjusted to the new world order where we encourage users to describe what they did when the automation hiccuped by opening an editor. These days, even when automation worked well (e.g. a clean auto-merge with "git merge"), we open an editor. The world has changed, and so should the expectations. Junio also suggested providing a workaround such as allowing --no-edit together with git rebase --continue, but that should probably be done in a patch after the git-2.26.0 release. For now, just document the known difference in the Behavioral Differences section. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-03-09Merge branch 'pb/am-show-current-patch'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+6
"git am --short-current-patch" is a way to show the piece of e-mail for the stopped step, which is not suitable to directly feed "git apply" (it is designed to be a good "git am" input). It learned a new option to show only the patch part. * pb/am-show-current-patch: am: support --show-current-patch=diff to retrieve .git/rebase-apply/patch am: support --show-current-patch=raw as a synonym for--show-current-patch am: convert "resume" variable to a struct parse-options: convert "command mode" to a flag parse-options: add testcases for OPT_CMDMODE()

"git rebase" has learned to use the merge backend (i.e. the machinery that drives "rebase -i") by default, while allowing "--apply" option to use the "apply" backend (e.g. the moral equivalent of "format-patch piped to am").

2020-02-27Documentation: clarify that `-h` alone stands for `help`Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-1/+8
We seem to be getting new users who get confused every 20 months or so with this "-h consistently wants to give help, but the commands to which `-h` may feel like a good short-form option want it to mean something else." compromise. Let's make sure that the readers know that `git cmd -h` (with no other arguments) is a way to get usage text, even for commands like ls-remote and grep. Also extend the description that is already in gitcli.txt, as it is clear that users still get confused with the current text. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
