2012-03-02Documentation: do not assume that n > 1 in <rev>~$nLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
We explained <rev>~<n> as <n>th generation grand-parent, but a reader got confused by the "grand-" part when <n> is 1. Reword it with "ancestor"; with the "generation" and "following only the first parents" around there, what we try to describe should be clear enough now.

2012-02-28fsck: --no-dangling omits "dangling object" informationLibravatar Junio C Hamano3-10/+14
The default output from "fsck" is often overwhelmed by informational message on dangling objects, especially if you do not repack often, and a real error can easily be buried. Add "--no-dangling" option to omit them, and update the user manual to demonstrate its use. Based on a patch by Clemens Buchacher, but reverted the part to change the default to --no-dangling, which is unsuitable for the first patch. The usual three-step procedure to break the backward compatibility over time needs to happen on top of this, if we were to go in that direction. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Text between two '*' is emphasized in AsciiDoc and makes explanations in rev-list-options.txt on glob-related options very confusing, as the rendered text would be missing two asterisks and the text between them would be emphasized instead. Use '{asterisk}' where needed to make them show up as asterisks in the rendered text.

2012-02-27CodingGuidelines: do not use 'which' in shell scriptsLibravatar Tim Henigan1-0/+5
During the code review of a recent patch, it was noted that shell scripts must not use 'which $cmd' to check the availability of the command $cmd. The output of the command is not machine parseable and its exit code is not reliable across platforms. It is better to use 'type' to accomplish this task.

2012-02-26parse-options: allow positivation of options starting, with no-Libravatar René Scharfe1-1/+2
Long options can be negated by adding no- right after the leading two dashes. This is useful e.g. to override options set by aliases. For options that are defined to start with no- already, this looks a bit funny. Allow such options to also be negated by removing the prefix. The following thirteen options are affected: apply --no-add bisect--helper --no-checkout checkout-index --no-create clone --no-checkout --no-hardlinks commit --no-verify --no-post-rewrite format-patch --no-binary hash-object --no-filters read-tree --no-sparse-checkout revert --no-commit show-branch --no-name update-ref --no-deref The following five are NOT affected because they are defined with PARSE_OPT_NONEG or the non-negated version is defined as well: branch --no-merged format-patch --no-stat --no-numbered update-index --no-assume-unchanged --no-skip-worktree Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-02-23git-p4: add initial support for RCS keywordsLibravatar Luke Diamand1-0/+5
RCS keywords cause problems for git-p4 as perforce always expands them (if +k is set) and so when applying the patch, git reports that the files have been modified by both sides, when in fact they haven't. This change means that when git-p4 detects a problem applying a patch, it will check to see if keyword expansion could be the culprit. If it is, it strips the keywords in the p4 repository so that they match what git is expecting. It then has another go at applying the patch. This behaviour is enabled with a new git-p4 configuration option and is off by default.

2012-02-22push: add '--prune' optionLibravatar Felipe Contreras1-1/+9
When pushing groups of refs to a remote, there is no simple way to remove old refs that still exist at the remote that is no longer updated from us. This will allow us to remove such refs from the remote. With this change, running this command $ git push --prune remote refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/laptop/* removes refs/remotes/laptop/foo from the remote if we do not have branch "foo" locally anymore.

2012-02-22Documentation/merge-options.txt: group "ff" related options togetherLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-11/+11
The --ff-only option was not described next to --ff and --no-ff options in "git merge" documentation, even though these three are logically together, describing how to choose one of three possibilities. Also the description for '--ff' and '--no-ff' discussed what '--ff' means, and mentioned '--no-ff' as if it were a side-note to '--ff'. Make them into three top-level entries and list them together. This way, it would be more clear that the user can choose one from these three. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-02-17config: add include directiveLibravatar Jeff King3-1/+47
It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public (e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g., your name or other identifying information). Or you may want to include a number of config options in some subset of your repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to reference them from the .git/config of participating repos). This patch introduces an include directive for config files. It looks like: [include] path = /path/to/file This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path). The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any include directives, passing all of the discovered options to the real callback. Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular" git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as well as calls to the "git config" program that do not specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc). They are not turned on in other cases, including: 1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules. There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion. 2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two reasons: a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at config-like files. b. inspection of a specific file probably means you care about just what's in that file, not a general lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at all". If that is not the case, the caller can always specify "--includes". 3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or modified), and not expand them. So "git config --unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on .git/config, not any of its included files (just as it also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).
