2010-10-29Fix a formatting error in git-merge.txtLibravatar Nathan W. Panike1-7/+7
Inside an element of an enumerated list, the second and subsequent paragraphs need to lose their indent and have to be strung together with a line with a single '+' on it instead. Otherwise the lines below are shown in typewriter face, which just looks wrong. Signed-off-by: Nathan W.

Originally "--no-index" mode triggered for untracked files within the tracked tree, but with v1.5.6-rc1~41 (Merge branch 'jc/diff-no-no-index, 2008-05-26) the command was fixed to only implicitly trigger when paths outside the tracked tree are mentioned.

2010-10-13Documentation: expand 'git diff' SEE ALSO sectionLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+6
Point in many directions in the hope of helping the reader find what is needed more quickly. This commit also removes the summary attached to the SEE ALSO entry for difftool, to avoid making the SEE ALSO list too verbose. If the reader wants a summary of the commands referred to, she can always look to the top of the named pages or to the table of contents on the main git(1) page.

2010-10-13fast-import: Allow filemodify to set the rootLibravatar David Barr1-0/+3
v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id, 2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set. Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the empty path, "". For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can involve a significant amount of overhead. (23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6) Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it. This patch changes that, by allowing M 040000 <tree id> "" as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without any need to parse it. For example, M 040000 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 "" is a synonym for the deleteall command and the fast-import equivalent of git read-tree 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 Signed-off-by: David Barr <david.barr@cordelta.com> Commit-message-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Acked-by: Sverre Rabbelier <srabbelier@gmail.com> Tested-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
