2011-03-30grep: allow -E and -n to be turned on by default via configurationLibravatar Joe Ratterman2-0/+16
Add two configration variables grep.extendedRegexp and grep.lineNumbers to allow the user to skip typing -E and -n on the command line, respectively. Scripts that are meant to be used by random users and/or in random repositories now have use -G and/or --no-line-number options as appropriately to override the settings in the repository or user's ~/.gitconfig settings. Just because the script didn't say "git grep -n" no longer guarantees that the output from the command will not have line numbers.

2011-03-24merge: merge with the default upstream branch without argumentLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-3/+18
"git merge" without specifying any commit is a no-op by default. A new option merge.defaultupstream can be set to true to cause such an invocation of the command to merge the upstream branches configured for the current branch by using their last observed values stored in their remote tracking branches.

* Clarify "string of unsigned bytes"; * Blob has two variants (regular file vs symlink), not (blob vs symlink); * Clarify permission mode bits; * Clarify ce_namelen() "too long to fit in the length field" case; * Clarify "." etc are forbidden as path components; * Match the description with the internal wording "cache-tree"; * All types of extension begin with signature and length as explained in the first part. Don't repeat the "length" part in the description of each extension (can be mistaken as if there is a separate 32-bit size field inside the extension), but state what the signature for each extension is. * Don't say "Extension tag", as we have said "Extension signature" in the first part---be consistent; * Clarify the invalidation of cache-tree entries; * Correct description on subtree_nr field in the cache-tree; * Clarify the order of entries in cache-tree; Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-03-22git-am.txt: advertise 'git am --abort' instead of 'rm .git/rebase-apply'Libravatar SZEDER Gábor1-3/+3
'git am --abort' is around for quite a long time now, and users should normally not poke around inside the .git directory, yet the documentation of 'git am' still recommends the following: ... if you decide to start over from scratch, run `rm -f -r .git/rebase-apply` ... Suggest 'git am --abort' instead. It's not quite the same as the original, because 'git am --abort' will restore the original branch, while simply removing '.git/rebase-apply' won't, but that's rather a thinko in the original wording, because that won't actually "start over _from scratch_".
