2008-01-16close_lock_file(): new function in the lockfile APILibravatar Brandon Casey1-3/+12
The lockfile API is a handy way to obtain a file that is cleaned up if you die(). But sometimes you would need this sequence to work: 1. hold_lock_file_for_update() to get a file descriptor for writing; 2. write the contents out, without being able to decide if the results should be committed or rolled back; 3. do something else that makes the decision --- and this "something else" needs the lockfile not to have an open file descriptor for writing (e.g. Windows do not want a open file to be renamed); 4. call commit_lock_file() or rollback_lock_file() as appropriately. This adds close_lock_file() you can call between step 2 and 3 in the above sequence. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

56752391a8c0c591853b276e4fa0b45c34ced181 (Make "git gc" pack all refs by default) changed the default of gc.packrefs to true, to pack all refs by default in any repository. IOW, the users need to disable it explicitly if they want to by setting the config variable, since 1.5.3. However, we forgot to update the documentation. This fixes it.

2008-01-06Document the color.interactive semanticsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
There are two possible confusions with the color.interactive description: 1. the short name "interactive" implies that it covers all interactive commands; let's explicitly make it so, even though there are no other interactive commands which currently use it 2. Not all parts of "git add --interactive" are controlled by color.interactive (specifically, the diffs require tweaking color.diff). So let's clarify that it applies only to displays and prompts.

2007-12-22Allow selection of different cleanup modes for commit messagesLibravatar Alex Riesen1-1/+11
Although we traditionally stripped away excess blank lines, trailing whitespaces and lines that begin with "#" from the commit log message, sometimes the message just has to be the way user wants it. For instance, a commit message template can contain lines that begin with "#", the message must be kept as close to its original source as possible if you are converting from a foreign SCM, or maybe the message has a shell script including its comments for future reference. The cleanup modes are default, verbatim, whitespace and strip. The default mode depends on if the message is being edited and will either strip whitespace and comments (if editor active) or just strip the whitespace (for where the message is given explicitely).
