2010-02-19Documentation: Fix indentation problem in git-commit(1)Libravatar Jacob Helwig1-3/+3
Ever since the "See linkgit:git-config[1]..." paragraph was added to the description for --untracked-files (d6293d1), the paragraphs for the following options were indented at the same level as the "See linkgit:git-config[1]" paragraph. This problem showed up in the manpages, but not in the HTML documentation. While this does fix the alignment of the options following --untracked-files in the manpage, the "See linkgit..." portion of the description does not retain its previous indentation level in the manpages, or HTML documentation.

2010-02-18Documentation: describe --thin more accuratelyLibravatar Stephen Boyd5-28/+36
The description for --thin was misleading and downright wrong.

2010-02-17docs: don't talk about $GIT_DIR/refs/ everywhereLibravatar Jeff King10-36/+39
It is misleading to say that we pull refs from $GIT_DIR/refs/*, because we may also consult the packed refs mechanism. These days we tend to treat the "refs hierarchy" as more of an abstract namespace that happens to be represented as $GIT_DIR/refs. At best, this is a minor inaccuracy, but at worst it can confuse users who then look in $GIT_DIR/refs and find that it is missing some of the refs they expected to see. This patch drops most uses of "$GIT_DIR/refs/*", changing them into just "refs/*", under the assumption that users can handle the concept of an abstract refs namespace. There are a few things to note: - most cases just dropped the $GIT_DIR/ portion. But for cases where that left _just_ the word "refs", I changed it to "refs/" to help indicate that it was a hierarchy. I didn't do the same for longer paths (e.g., "refs/heads" remained, instead of becoming "refs/heads/"). - in some cases, no change was made, as the text was explicitly about unpacked refs (e.g., the discussion in git-pack-refs). - In some cases it made sense instead to note the existence of packed refs (e.g., in check-ref-format and rev-parse).

2010-02-17fast-import: make default pack size unlimitedLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-4/+1
Now that fast-import is creating packs with index version 2, there is no point limiting the pack size by default. A pack split will still happen if off_t is not sufficiently large to hold large offsets. While updating the doc, let's remove the "packfiles fit on CDs" suggestion. Pack files created by fast-import are still suboptimal and a 'git repack -a -f -d' or even 'git gc --aggressive' would be a pretty good idea before considering storage on CDs.

Clarify that git-grep(1) searches only tracked files, and that each <pathspec> is a pathspec, as in any other ordinary git commands. Add an example to show a simple use case for searching all .c and .h files in the current directory and below.

2010-02-12archive documentation: attributes are taken from the tree by defaultLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
By default, git-archive takes attributes from the tree being archived. People however often wonder why their attempts to affect the way how the command archives their tree by changing .gitattributes in their work tree fail. Add a bit of explanatory note to tell them how to achieve what they want to do. Noticed-by: Francois Marier Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-02-08git-add documentation: Fix shell quoting exampleLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
When 921177f (Documentation: improve "add", "pull" and "format-patch" examples, 2008-05-07) converted this from enumeration header to displayed text, it failed to adjust for the AsciiDoc's rule to quote backslashes. In displayed text, backslash is shown verbatim, while in enumeration header, we need to double it. We have a similar construct in git-rm.txt documentation, and need to be careful when somebody wants to update it to match the style of the "git add" example.

2010-02-05run-command: support custom fd-set in asyncLibravatar Erik Faye-Lund1-10/+40
This patch adds the possibility to supply a set of non-0 file descriptors for async process communication instead of the default-created pipe. Additionally, we now support bi-directional communiction with the async procedure, by giving the async function both read and write file descriptors. To retain compatiblity and similar "API feel" with start_command, we require start_async callers to set .out = -1 to get a readable file descriptor. If either of .in or .out is 0, we supply no file descriptor to the async process. [sp: Note: Erik started this patch, and a huge bulk of it is his work. All bugs were introduced later by Shawn.] Signed-off-by: Erik Faye-Lund <kusmabite@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

It seems that we have bad interaction with the code related to GIT_WORK_TREE and "grep --no-index", and broke running grep inside the .git directory. For now, just revert it and resurrect it after 1.7.0 ships. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-02-04fast-import: count --max-pack-size in bytesLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-6/+6
Similar in spirit to 07cf0f2 (make --max-pack-size argument to 'git pack-object' count in bytes, 2010-02-03) which made the option by the same name to pack-objects, this counts the pack size limit in bytes. In order not to cause havoc with people used to the previous megabyte scale an integer smaller than 8192 is interpreted in megabytes but the user gets a warning. Also a minimum size of 1 MiB is enforced to avoid an explosion of pack files. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Acked-by: Shawn O.

2010-02-04git-clean: fix the description of the default behaviorLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-2/+2
Currently, when called without -n and -f, git clean issues fatal: clean.requireForce not set and -n or -f not given; refusing to clean which leaves the user wondering why force is required when requireForce is not set. Looking up in git-clean(1) does not help because its description is wrong. Change it so that git clean issues fatal: clean.requireForce defaults to true and -n or -f not given; refusing to clean in this situation (and "...set to true..." when it is set) which makes it clearer that an unset config means true here, and adjust the documentation.

2010-02-03make --max-pack-size argument to 'git pack-object' count in bytesLibravatar Nicolas Pitre4-10/+22
The value passed to --max-pack-size used to count in MiB which was inconsistent with the corresponding configuration variable as well as other command arguments which are defined to count in bytes with an optional unit suffix. This brings --max-pack-size in line with the rest of Git. Also, in order not to cause havoc with people used to the previous megabyte scale, and because this is a sane thing to do anyway, a minimum size of 1 MiB is enforced to avoid an explosion of pack files. Adjust and extend test suite accordingly. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
