2006-05-05core.prefersymlinkrefs: use symlinks for .git/HEADLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+5
When inspecting a project whose build infrastructure used to assume that .git/HEAD is a symlink ref, core.prefersymlinkrefs in the config file of such a project would help to bisect its history.

With this option, git prepends a diffstat in front of the patch.

2006-04-10Implement limited context matching in git-apply.Libravatar Eric W. Biederman1-1/+7
Ok this really should be the good version. The option handling has been reworked to be automation safe. Currently to import the -mm tree I have to work around git-apply by using patch. Because some of Andrews patches in quilt will only apply with fuzz. I started out implementing a --fuzz option and then I realized fuzz is not a very safe concept for an automated system. What you really want is a minimum number of context lines that must match. This allows policy to be set without knowing how many lines of context a patch actually provides. By default the policy remains to match all provided lines of context. Allowng git-apply to match a restricted set of context makes it much easier to import the -mm tree into git. I am still only processing 1.5 to 1.6 patches a second for the 692 patches in 2.6.17-rc1-mm2 is still painful but it does help. If I just loop through all of Andrews patches in order and run git-apply --index -C1 I process the entire patchset in 1m53s or about 6 patches per second. So running git-mailinfo, git-write-tree, git-commit-tree, and git-update-ref everytime has a measurable impact, and shows things can be speeded up even more. All of these timings were taking on my poor 700Mhz Athlon with 512MB of ram. So people with fast machiens should see much better performance. When a match is found after the number of context are reduced a warning is generated. Since this is a rare event and possibly dangerous this seems to make sense. Unless you are patching a single file the error message is a little bit terse at the moment, but it should be easy to go back and fix. I have also updated the documentation for git-apply to reflect the new -C option that sets the minimum number of context lines that must match. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-04-04Support for pickaxe matching regular expressionsLibravatar Petr Baudis1-0/+4
git-diff-* --pickaxe-regex will change the -S pickaxe to match POSIX extended regular expressions instead of fixed strings. The regex.h library is a rather stupid interface and I like pcre too, but with any luck it will be everywhere we will want to run Git on, it being POSIX.2 and all. I'm not sure if we can expect platforms like AIX to conform to POSIX.2 or if win32 has regex.h. We might add a flag to Makefile if there is a portability trouble potential.

2006-04-02Documentation: revise top of git man pageLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-48/+41
I'm afraid I'll be accused of trying to suck all the jokes and the personality out of the git documentation. I'm not! Really! That said, "man git" is one of the first things a new user is likely try, and it seems a little cruel to start off with a somewhat obscure joke about the architecture of git. So instead I'm trying for a relatively straightforward description of what git does, and what features distinguish it from other systems, together with immediate links to introductory documentation. I also did some minor reorganization in an attempt to clarify the classification of commands. And revised a bit for conciseness (as is obvious from the diffstat--hopefully I didn't cut anything important). Signed-off-by: J.

* master: Optionally do not list empty directories in git-ls-files --others Document git-rebase behavior on conflicts. Fix error handling for nonexistent names
2006-03-26Optionally do not list empty directories in git-ls-files --othersLibravatar Petr Baudis1-0/+3
Without the --directory flag, git-ls-files wouldn't ever list directories, producing no output for empty directories, which is good since they cannot be added and they bear no content, even untracked one (if Git ever starts tracking directories on their own, this should obviously change since the content notion will change). With the --directory flag however, git-ls-files would list even empty directories. This may be good in some situations but sometimes you want to prevent that. This patch adds a --no-empty-directory option which makes git-ls-files omit empty directories. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz>

2006-03-20Fix multi-paragraph list items in OPTIONS sectionLibravatar Francis Daly2-23/+29
This patch makes the html docs right, makes the asciidoc docs a bit odd but consistent with what is there already, and makes the manpages look OK using docbook-xsl 1.68, but miss a paragraph separator when using 1.69. For the manpages, current is like -A <author_file> Read a file with lines on the form username = User's Full Name <email@addr.es> and use "User's Full Name <email@addr.es>" as the GIT With this patch, docbook-xsl v1.68 looks like -A <author_file> Read a file with lines on the form username = User's Full Name <email@addr.es> and use "User's Full Name <email@addr.es>" as the GIT author and while docbook-xsl v1.69 becomes -A <author_file> Read a file with lines on the form username = User's Full Name <email@addr.es> and use "User's Full Name <email@addr.es>" as the GIT author and The extra indentation is to keep the v1.69 manpage looking sane.
