2011-02-09fast-import: introduce "feature notes" commandLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+6
Here is a 'feature' command for streams to use to require support for the notemodify (N) command. When the 'feature' facility was introduced (v1.7.0-rc0~95^2~4, 2009-12-04), the notes import feature was old news (v1.6.6-rc0~21^2~8, 2009-10-09) and it was not obvious it deserved to be a named feature. But now that is clear, since all major non-git fast-import backends lack support for it. Details: on git version with this patch applied, any "feature notes" command in the features/options section at the beginning of a stream will be treated as a no-op. On fast-import implementations without the feature (and older git versions), the command instead errors out with a message like This version of fast-import does not support feature notes. So by declaring use of notes at the beginning of a stream, frontends can avoid wasting time and other resources when the backend does not support notes. (This would be especially important for backends that do not support rewinding history after a botched import.)

2011-02-09fast-import: clarify documentation of "feature" commandLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-20/+17
The "feature" command allows streams to specify options for the import that must not be ignored. Logically, they are part of the stream, even though technically most supported features are synonyms to command-line options. Make this more obvious by being more explicit about how the analogy between most "feature" commands and command-line options works. Treat the feature (import-marks) that does not fit this analogy separately.

2011-02-07diff: support --cached on unborn branchesLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+2
"git diff --cached" (without revision) used to mean "git diff --cached HEAD" (i.e. the user was too lazy to type HEAD). This "correctly" failed when there was no commit yet. But was that correctness useful? This patch changes the definition of what particular command means. It is a request to show what _would_ be committed without further "git add". The internal implementation is the same "git diff --cached HEAD" when HEAD exists, but when there is no commit yet, it compares the index with an empty tree object to achieve the desired result.

2011-01-21Documentation: do not treat reset --keep as a special caseLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-7/+2
The current treatment of "git reset --keep" emphasizes how it differs from --hard (treatment of local changes) and how it breaks down into plumbing (git read-tree -m -u HEAD <commit> followed by git update-ref HEAD <commit>). This can discourage people from using it, since it might seem to be a complex or niche option. Better to emphasize what the --keep flag is intended for --- moving the index and worktree from one commit to another, like "git checkout" would --- so the reader can make a more informed decision about the appropriate situations in which to use it.

This was added long ago as part of the userdiff refactoring for textconv, as internally it made the code simpler and cleaner. However, there was never a concrete use case for actually using the config variable. Now that Matthieu Moy has provided such a use case, it's easy to explain it using his example.

2011-01-10Documentation/githooks: post-rewrite-copy-notes never existedLibravatar Thomas Rast1-4/+0
The documentation for the post-rewrite hook contains a paragraph from its early development, where the automatic notes copying facilities were not part of the series and thus this had to be a hook. Later versions of the series implemented notes copying as a core feature. Thus mentioning post-rewrite-copy-notes was never correct. As the other hooks do not have a "there is no default hook, but..." sentence unless they ship a sample hook in either templates or contrib, we simply remove the whole paragraph.

However, later in 9b4c8b0 (archive documentation: attributes are taken from the tree by default, 2010-02-10) the misspelling "--work-tree-attributes" was used to refer to it. Fix this.

2010-12-27diff: funcname and word patterns for perlLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+2
The default function name discovery already works quite well for Perl code... with the exception of here-documents (or rather their ending). sub foo { print <<END here-document END return 1; } The default funcname pattern treats the unindented END line as a function declaration and puts it in the @@ line of diff and "grep --show-function" output. With a little knowledge of perl syntax, we can do better. You can try it out by adding "*.perl diff=perl" to the gitattributes file.

2010-12-22convert filter: supply path to external driverLibravatar Pete Wyckoff1-0/+10
Filtering to support keyword expansion may need the name of the file being filtered. In particular, to support p4 keywords like $File: //depot/product/dir/script.sh $ the smudge filter needs to know the name of the file it is smudging. Allow "%f" in the custom filter command line specified in the configuration. This will be substituted by the filename inside a single-quote pair to be passed to the shell.

In git-fsck(1), there was a reference to the warning "<tree> has full pathnames in it". This exact wording has not been used since 2005 (commit f1f0d0889e55), when the wording was changed slightly. More importantly, the description of that warning was useless, and there were many other similar warning messages which were not document at all.

Currently, only configured diff helpers get the basename of the file being compared. Tools specified with "git difftool -x" only get the names of temporary files for the different versions. Export BASE so that an external tool can read the name from the environment. Rather than using a third argument, this avoids breaking existing scripts which may somewhat carelessly be using "$@" rather than "$1" "$2".
