2012-04-29config: expand tildes in include.path variableLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
You can already use relative paths in include.path, which means that including "foo" from your global "~/.gitconfig" will look in your home directory. However, you might want to do something clever like putting "~/.gitconfig-foo" in a specific repository's config file.

2012-04-24git-rebase: add keep_empty flagLibravatar Neil Horman1-0/+4
Add a command line switch to git-rebase to allow a user the ability to specify that they want to keep any commits in a series that are empty. When git-rebase's type is am, then this option will automatically keep any commit that has a tree object identical to its parent. This patch changes the default behavior of interactive rebases as well. With this patch, git-rebase -i will produce a revision set passed to git-revision-editor, in which empty commits are commented out. Empty commits may be kept manually by uncommenting them. If the new --keep-empty option is used in an interactive rebase the empty commits will automatically all be uncommented in the editor.

2012-04-24git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits optionLibravatar Neil Horman1-1/+11
The git-cherry-pick --allow-empty command by default only preserves empty commits that were originally empty, i.e only those commits for which <commit>^{tree} and <commit>^^{tree} are equal. By default commits which are non-empty, but were made empty by the inclusion of a prior commit on the current history are filtered out. This option allows us to override that behavior and include redundant commits as empty commits in the change history. Note that this patch changes the default behavior of git cherry-pick slightly. Prior to this patch all commits in a cherry-pick sequence were applied and git commit was run. The implication here was that, if a commit was redundant, and the commit did not trigger the fast forward logic, the git commit operation, and therefore the git cherry-pick operation would fail, displaying the cherry pick advice (i.e. run git commit --allow-empty). With this patch however, such redundant commits are automatically skipped without stopping, unless --keep-redundant-commits is specified, in which case, they are automatically applied as empty commits.

2012-04-15fast-import doc: cat-blob and ls responses need to be consumed quicklyLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+39
If fast-import's command pipe and the frontend's cat-blob/ls response pipe are both filled, there can be a deadlock. Luckily all existing frontends consume any pending cat-blob/ls responses completely before writing the next command. Document the requirements so future frontend authors and users can be spared from the problem, too. It is not always easy to catch that kind of bug by testing. To set the scene, add some words of explanation to help the novice understand that "cat-blob" and "ls" output are meant for consumption by the frontend.

2012-04-11git-cherry-pick: add allow-empty optionLibravatar Neil Horman1-0/+9
git cherry-pick fails when picking a non-ff commit that is empty. The advice given with the failure is that a git-commit --allow-empty should be issued to explicitly add the empty commit during the cherry pick. This option allows a user to specify before hand that they want to keep the empty commit. This eliminates the need to issue both a cherry pick and a commit operation.

2012-04-11git p4: import/export of labels to/from p4Libravatar Luke Diamand1-5/+38
The existing label import code looks at each commit being imported, and then checks for labels at that commit. This doesn't work in the real world though because it will drop labels applied on changelists that have already been imported, a common pattern. This change adds a new --import-labels option. With this option, at the end of the sync, git p4 gets sets of labels in p4 and git, and then creates a git tag for each missing p4 label. This means that tags created on older changelists are still imported. Tags that could not be imported are added to an ignore list. The same sets of git and p4 tags and labels can also be used to derive a list of git tags to export to p4. This is enabled with --export-labels in 'git p4 submit'.

2012-04-10var doc: advertise current DEFAULT_PAGER and DEFAULT_EDITOR settingsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-0/+16
Document the default pager and editor chosen at compile time in the git-var(1) manpage so users curious about what command _this_ copy of git will fall back to when EDITOR, VISUAL, and PAGER are unset can find the answer quickly. In builds leaving those settings uncustomized, this patch makes the manpage continue to say "usually vi" and "usually less" so the formatted documentation is usable for a wide audience including users of custom builds that change those settings. If you would like your copy of the docs to be less noncommittal, you will need to set DEFAULT_PAGER=less and DEFAULT_EDITOR=vi explicitly.
