2008-05-11git-format-patch: add --no-binary to omit binary changes in the patch.Libravatar Caio Marcelo de Oliveira Filho1-0/+6
Add a new option --no-binary to git-format-patch so that no binary changes are included in the generated patches, only notices that those files changed. This generate patches that cannot be applied, but still is useful for generating mails for code review purposes. See also: commit e47f306d4bf964def1a0b29e8f7cea419471dffd, where --binary option was turned on by default.

2008-05-11Allow tracking branches to set up rebase by default.Libravatar Dustin Sallings1-0/+15
Change cd67e4d4 introduced a new configuration parameter that told pull to automatically perform a rebase instead of a merge. This change provides a configuration option to enable this feature automatically when creating a new branch. If the variable branch.autosetuprebase applies for a branch that's being created, that branch will have branch.<name>.rebase set to true.

2008-05-08doc: clarify definition of "update" for git-add -uLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+3
The "-u" option is described only in terms of "updating" files, which in turn is described only as "similar to what git commit -a does". Let's be a little more specific about what updating entails.

2008-05-06Documentation: improve "add", "pull" and "format-patch" examplesLibravatar Christian Couder3-69/+108
Before this patch in "git-add.txt" and "git-format-patch.txt", the commands used in the examples were "git-CMD" instead of "git CMD". This patch fixes that. In "git-pull.txt" only the last example had the code sample in an asciidoc "Listing Block", and in the other two files, none. This patch fixes that by putting all code samples in listing blocks.

2008-04-29Documentation: point git-prune users to git-gcLibravatar Jeff King2-1/+22
Most users should be using git-gc instead of directly calling prune. For those who really do want more information on pruning, let's point them at git-fsck, which goes into slightly more detail on reachability. And since we're pointing users there, let's make sure reflogs are mentioned in git-fsck(1). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-04-20Add a remote.*.mirror configuration optionLibravatar Paolo Bonzini3-3/+11
This patch adds a remote.*.mirror configuration option that, when set, automatically puts git-push in --mirror mode for that remote. Furthermore, the option is set automatically by `git remote add --mirror'. The code in remote.c to parse remote.*.skipdefaultupdate had a subtle problem: a comment in the code indicated that special care was needed for boolean options, but this care was not used in parsing the option. Since I was touching related code, I did this fix too.

2008-04-20git-branch: add support for --merged and --no-mergedLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-1/+3
These options filter the output from git branch to only include branches whose tip is either merged or not merged into HEAD. The use-case for these options is when working with integration of branches from many remotes: `git branch --no-merged -a` will show a nice list of merge candidates while `git branch --merged -a` will show the progress of your integration work. Also, a plain `git branch --merged` is a quick way to find local branches which you might want to delete.
