2016-06-10diff: disable compaction heuristic for nowLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-0/+12
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20160610075043.GA13411@sigill.intra.peff.net reports that a change to add a new "function" with common ending with the existing one at the end of the file is shown like this: def foo do_foo_stuff() + common_ending() +end + +def bar + do_bar_stuff() + common_ending() end when the new heuristic is in use. In reality, the change is to add the blank line before "def bar" and everything below, which is what the code without the new heuristic shows. Disable the heuristics by default, and resurrect the documentation for the option and the configuration variables, while clearly marking the feature as still experimental.

2016-06-03userdiff: add built-in pattern for CSSLibravatar William Duclot1-0/+2
CSS is widely used, motivating it being included as a built-in pattern. It must be noted that the word_regex for CSS (i.e. the regex defining what is a word in the language) does not consider '.' and '#' characters (in CSS selectors) to be part of the word. This behavior is documented by the test t/t4018/css-rule. The logic behind this behavior is the following: identifiers in CSS selectors are identifiers in a HTML/XML document. Therefore, the '.'/'#' character are not part of the identifier, but an indicator of the nature of the identifier in HTML/XML (class or id). Diffing ".class1" and ".class2" must show that the class name is changed, but we still are selecting a class. Logic behind the "pattern" regex is: 1. reject lines ending with a colon/semicolon (properties) 2. if a line begins with a name in column 1, pick the whole line Credits to Johannes Sixt (j6t@kdbg.org) for the pattern regex and most of the tests.

2016-05-31Documentation: bold literals in manLibravatar Erwan Mathoniere1-1/+1
Backticks are emphasized through monospaced styling in the HTML version of Git documentation. But they were left unstyled in the manual pages. To make the man pages more comfortably read, `MAN_BOLD_LITERAL` was added by 5121a6d (Documentation: option to render literal text as bold for manpages, 2009-03-27). It allowed the user to build the manpages with literals in bold style. For precaution it was not set by default back then. Since 79c461d (docs: default to more modern toolset, 2010-11-19), it is assumed ASCIIDOC 8 and at least docbook-xsl 1.73 are used, so the need for compatibility concern is much lessor now. Remove `MAN_BOLD_LITERAL`, and typeset literals as bold by default . Add `NO_MAN_BOLD_LITERAL`, a new Makefile option, disabling this feature when defined.

Sometimes the history of a submodule is not considered important by the projects upstream. To make it easier for downstream users, allow a boolean field 'submodule.<name>.shallow' in .gitmodules, which can be used to recommend whether upstream considers the history important. This field is honored in the initial clone by default, it can be ignored by giving the `--no-recommend-shallow` option.
