2007-04-05Fix lost-found to show commits only referenced by reflogsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+7
Prior to 1.5.0 the git-lost-found utility was useful to locate commits that were not referenced by any ref. These were often amends, or resets, or tips of branches that had been deleted. Being able to locate a 'lost' commit and recover it by creating a new branch was a useful feature in those days. Unfortunately 1.5.0 added the reflogs to the reachability analysis performed by git-fsck, which means that most commits users would consider to be lost are still reachable through a reflog. So most (or all!) commits are reachable, and nothing gets output from git-lost-found. Now git-fsck can be told to ignore reflogs during its reachability analysis, making git-lost-found useful again to locate commits that are no longer referenced by a ref itself, but may still be referenced by a reflog.

2007-03-29Documentation/git-rev-parse.txt: fix example in SPECIFYING RANGES.Libravatar Gerrit Pape1-8/+8
Please see http://bugs.debian.org/404795: In git-rev-parse(1), there is an example commit tree, which is used twice. The explanation for this tree is very clear: B and C are commit *parents* to A. However, when the tree is reused as an example in the SPECIFYING RANGES, the manpage author screws up and uses A as a commit *parent* to B and C! I.e., he inverts the tree. And the fact that for this example you need to read the tree backwards is not explained anywhere (and it would be confusing even if it was).

This adds --bisect-vars option to rev-list. The output is suitable for `eval` in shell and defines five variables: - bisect_rev is the next revision to test. - bisect_nr is the expected number of commits to test after bisect_rev is tested. - bisect_good is the expected number of commits to test if bisect_rev turns out to be good. - bisect_bad is the expected number of commits to test if bisect_rev turns out to be bad. - bisect_all is the number of commits we are bisecting right now.

2007-03-18Limit the size of the new delta_base_cacheLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+13
The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for caching base objects of deltas. This is not normally meant to be a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to be suitable for almost all workloads. We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters during revision traversal. Since trees tend to be relatively small objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large number of objects. On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200 different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow the entire address space of a 32 bit process. We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache. These are the objects that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize that penalty over the entire data.

2007-03-18user-manual: introduce "branch" and "branch head" differentlyLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-22/+21
I was using "branch" to mean "head", but that's perhaps a little sloppy; so instead start by using the terms "branch head" and "head", while still quickly falling back on "branch", since that's what people actually say more frequently. Also include glossary references on the first uses of "head" and "tag". Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2007-03-18glossary: stop generating automaticallyLibravatar J. Bruce Fields4-428/+392
The sort_glossary.pl script sorts the glossary, checks for duplicates, and automatically adds cross-references. But it's not so hard to do all that by hand, and sometimes the automatic cross-references are a little wrong; so let's run the script one last time and check in its output. Note: to make the output fit better into the user manual I also deleted the acknowledgements at the end, which was maybe a little rude; feel free to object and I can find a different solution.

2007-03-18user-manual: run xsltproc without --nonet optionLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-1/+1
The --nonet option prevents xsltproc from going to the network to find anything. But it always tries to find them locally first, so for a user with the necessary docbook stylesheets installed the build will work just fine without xsltproc attempting to use the network; all --nonet does is make it fail rather than falling back on that. That doesn't seem particularly helpful. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
