2006-02-05git-send-email: Fully implement --quiet and document it.Libravatar Ryan Anderson1-20/+24

2006-02-02Documentation: git-diff-tree --cc also omits empty commitsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
A misguided attempt to show logs at all time was inserted only to the documentation of this flag. Worse yet, it was not even implemented, causing more confusion. Drop it. We might want to have an option to show --pretty even when there is no diff output, but that is applicable to all forms of diff, not just --cc. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-01-30cvs-migration documentation updateLibravatar J. Bruce Fields2-223/+163
Here's some changes to the cvs-migration.txt. As usual, in my attempt to make things clearer someone may have found I've made them less so, or I may have just gotten something wrong; so any review is welcomed. I can break up this sort of thing into smaller steps if preferred, the monolothic patch is just a bit simpler for me for this sort of thing. I moved the material describing shared repository management from core-tutorial.txt to cvs-migration.txt, where it seems more appropriate, and combined two sections to eliminate some redundancy. I also revised the earlier sections of cvs-migration.txt, mainly trying to make it more concise. I've left the last section of cvs-migration.txt (on CVS annotate alternatives) alone for now.

Johannes noticed the recent addition of this new flag inadvertently took over existing --update-head-ok (-u). Require longer abbreviation to this new option which would be needed in a rare setup. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-01-24git-fetch: pass --upload-pack to fetch-packLibravatar Michal Ostrowski1-0/+7
Without this, there is no way to specify a remote executable when invoking git-pull/git-fetch as there is for git-clone. [jc: I have a mild suspicion that this is a broken environment (aka sysadmin disservice). It may be legal to configure your sshd to spawn named program without involving shell at all, and if your sysadmin does so and you have your git programs under your home directory, you would need something like this, but then I suspect you would need such workaround everywhere, not just git. But we have these options we can use to work around the issue, so there is no strong reason not to reject this patch, either. ] Signed-off-by: Michal Ostrowski <mostrows@watson.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-01-22Documentation: finishing touches to the new tutorial.Libravatar Junio C Hamano3-3/+5
We forgot to update the primary link from git.html leading to the tutorial, and also forgot to build and install the renamed core-tutorial document. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-01-22Recommend to remove unused `origin` in a shared repository.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+20
It is a common mistake to leave an unsed `origin` branch behind if a shared public repository was created by first cloning from somewhere else. Subsequent `git push` into it with the default "push all the matching ref" would push the `origin` branch from the developer repository uselessly. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-01-22New tutorialLibravatar J. Bruce Fields2-1703/+2107
The current Documentation/tutorial.txt concentrates on the lower-level git interfaces. So it's useful to people developing alternative porcelains, to advanced users, etc., but not so much to beginning users. I think it makes sense for the main tutorial to address those beginnning users, so with this patch I'm proposing that we move Documentation/tutorial.txt to Documentation/core-tutorial.txt and replace it by a new tutorial.

2006-01-21git-grep: clarification on parameters.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+15
We forgot to make sure that there is no more than one pattern parameter. Also when looking for files in a directory called '--others', it passed that path limiter without preceding the end-of-options marker '--' to underlying git-ls-files, which misunderstood it as one of its options instead. $ git grep --others -e Meta/Make Meta $ git grep -o -e Meta/Make Meta $ git grep -o Meta/Make Meta look for a string "Meta/Make" from untracked files in Meta/ directory. $ git grep Meta/Make --others looks for the same string from tracked files in ./--others directory. On the other hand, $ git grep -e Meta/Make --others does not have a freestanding pattern, so everybody is parameter and there is no path specifier. It looks for the string in all the untracked files without any path limiter. [jc: updated with usability enhancements and documentation cleanups from Sean.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-01-15git-push: fix --tags and document it.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+6
Previously 'git-push --tags dst', used information from remotes/dst to determine which refs to push; this patch corrects it, and also documents the --tags option. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-01-15git-cvsimport: Add -A <author-conv-file> optionLibravatar Andreas Ericsson1-0/+20
This patch adds the option to specify an author name/email conversion file in the format exon=Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> spawn=Simon Pawn <spawn@frog-pond.org> which will translate the ugly cvs authornames to the more informative git style. The info is saved in $GIT_DIR/cvs-authors, so that subsequent incremental imports will use the same author-info even if no -A option is specified. If an -A option *is* specified, the info in $GIT_DIR/cvs-authors is appended/updated appropriately. Docs updated accordingly.

2006-01-15show-branch: --current includes the current branch.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+11
With this, the command includes the current branch to the list of revs to be shown when it is not given on the command line. This is handy to use in the configuration file like this: [showbranch] default = --current default = heads/* ; primary branches, not topics under ; subdirectories Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-01-15show-branch: make the current branch and merge commits stand out.Libravatar Junio C Hamano3-43/+45
This changes the character used to mark the commits that is on the branch from '+' to '*' for the current branch, to make it stand out. Also we show '-' for merge commits. When you have a handful branches with relatively long diversion, it is easier to see which one is the current branch this way. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-01-14clone: --naked option.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+23
The new option --naked is to help creating a naked repository for public consumption. $ git clone -l -s --naked \ /pub/scm/.../torvalds/linux-2.6.git subproj-2.6.git is equivalent to this sequence: $ git clone -l -s -n /pub/scm/.../torvalds/linux-2.6.git temp $ mv temp/.git subproj-2.6.git $ rmdir temp Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-01-13checkout: merge local modifications while switching branches.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+69
* Instead of going interactive, introduce a command line switch '-m' to allow merging changes when normal two-way merge by read-tree prevents branch switching. * Leave the unmerged stages intact if automerge fails, but reset index entries of cleanly merged paths to that of the new branch, so that "git diff" (not "git diff HEAD") would show the local modifications. * Swap the order of trees in read-tree three-way merge used in the fallback, so that `git diff` to show the conflicts become more natural. * Describe the new option and give more examples in the documentation.

Tommi Virtanen expressed a wish on #git to be able to use short and elegant git URLs by making git-daemon 'root' in a given directory.

2006-01-07git-fetch: auto-following tags.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+13
I added things to ls-remote so that Cogito can auto-follow tags easily and correctly a while ago, but git-fetch did not use the facility. Recently added git-describe command relies on repository keeping up-to-date set of tags, which made it much more attractive to automatically follow tags, so we do that as well.
