2009-10-09Documentation: clone: clarify discussion of initial branchLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+3
When saying the initial branch is equal to the currently active remote branch, it is probably intended that the branch heads point to the same commit. Maybe it would be more useful to a new user to emphasize that the tree contents and history are the same. More important, probably, is that this new branch is set up so that "git pull" merges changes from the corresponding remote branch. The next paragraph addresses that directly. What the reader needs to know to begin with is that (1) the initial branch is your own; if you do not pull, it won't get updated, and that (2) the initial branch starts out at the same commit as the upstream.

2009-10-09Documentation: clarify "working tree" definitionLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+3
It is not necessarily obvious to a git novice what it means for a filesystem tree to be equal to the HEAD. Spell it out. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-10-09Documentation: clarify branch creationLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-8/+8
The documentation seems to assume that the starting point for a new branch is the tip of an existing (ordinary) branch, but that is not the most common case. More often, "git branch" is used to begin a branch from a remote-tracking branch, a tag, or an interesting commit (e.g. origin/pu^2). Clarify the language so it can apply to these cases. Thanks to Sean Estabrooks for the wording. Also add a pointer to the user's manual for the bewildered.

2009-10-09Documentation: clarify mergeoptions descriptionLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-3/+3
Sounds better this way, at least to my ears. ("The syntax and supported options of git merge" is a plural noun. "the same" instead of "equal" sounds less technical and seems to convey the meaning better here.) Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-10-09Documentation: git fmt-merge-msg does not have to be a scriptLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-5/+6
The fmt-merge-message builtin can be invoked as "git fmt-merge-msg" rather than through the hard link in GIT_EXEC_PATH. Although this is unlikely to confuse most script writers, it should not hurt to make the documentation a little clearer anyway.

2009-09-13git-archive: infer output format from filename when unspecifiedLibravatar Dmitry Potapov1-2/+11
A command line $ git archive -o my-v2.0.zip v2.0 almost certainly wants the output in zip format, even though it does not specify any --format option. When --format is not given, but output filename is, try to infer what format is requested from the filename extension. Currently this code only knows about '.zip'. When the format is unspecified and the filename does not tell us, the output will be in 'tar' format as before. Of course, an explicit --format will not trigger this guesswork.

2009-09-13git-archive: add '-o' as a alias for '--output'Libravatar Dmitry Potapov1-1/+2
The '-o' option is commonly used in many tools to specify the output file. Typing '--output' every time is a bit too long to be a practical alternative to redirecting output. But specifying the output name has the advantage of making possible to guess the desired output format by filename extension.

2009-09-11push: make non-fast-forward help message configurableLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+11
This message is designed to help new users understand what has happened when refs fail to push. However, it does not help experienced users at all, and significantly clutters the output, frequently dwarfing the regular status table and making it harder to see. This patch introduces a general configuration mechanism for optional messages, with this push message as the first example.

2009-09-08Add url.<base>.pushInsteadOf: URL rewriting for push onlyLibravatar Josh Triplett2-0/+31
This configuration option allows systematically rewriting fetch-only URLs to push-capable URLs when used with push. For instance: [url "ssh://example.org/"] pushInsteadOf = "git://example.org/" This will allow clones of "git://example.org/path/to/repo" to subsequently push to "ssh://example.org/path/to/repo", without manually configuring pushurl for that remote. Includes documentation for the new option, bash completion updates, and test cases (both that pushInsteadOf applies to push, that it does not apply to fetch, and that it is ignored when pushURL is already defined).

2009-09-01stash: simplify defaulting to "save" and reject unknown optionsLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-4/+5
With the earlier DWIM patches, certain combination of options defaulted to the "save" command correctly while certain equally valid combination did not. For example, "git stash -k" were Ok but "git stash -q -k" did not work. This makes the logic of defaulting to "save" much simpler. If there are no non-flag arguments, it is clear that there is no command word, and we default to "save" subcommand. This rule prevents "git stash -q apply" from quietly creating a stash with "apply" as the message. This also teaches "git stash save" to reject an unknown option. This is to keep a mistyped "git stash save --quite" from creating a stash with a message "--quite", and this safety is more important with the new logic to default to "save" with any option-looking argument without an explicit comand word. [jc: this is based on Matthieu's 3-patch series, and a follow-up discussion, and he and Peff take all the credit; if I have introduced bugs while reworking, they are mine.] Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
