2009-09-07git-pull: do not mention --quiet and --verbose twiceLibravatar Emmanuel Trillaud1-0/+2
git-pull.txt includes fetch-options.txt and merge-options.txt, both of which document the --quiet and --verbose. Supress the ones from fetch-options.txt. Signed-off-by: Emmanuel Trillaud <etrillaud@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-09-07githooks.txt: put hooks into subsectionsLibravatar Bert Wesarg1-15/+18
All hooks are currently in its own section. Which may confuse users, because the section name serves as the hook file name and sections are all caps for man pages. Putting them into a new HOOKS section and each hook into a subsection keeps the case to lower case.

The --format option was made optional in 8ff21b1 (git-archive: make tar the default format, 2007-04-09), but it was not marked as optional in the summary.

2009-08-26git-log: allow --decorate[=short|full]Libravatar Lars Hjemli1-2/+6
Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers, external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full version. This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to specify either the short or the full versions.

2009-08-18filter-branch: add an example how to add ACKs to a range of commitsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+10
When you have to add certain lines like ACKs (or for that matter, Signed-off-by:s) to a range of commits starting with HEAD, you might be tempted to use 'git rebase -i -10', but that is a waste of your time. It is better to use 'git filter-branch' with an appropriate message filter, and this commit adds an example how to do so to filter-branch's man page.

2009-08-17docs: describe impact of repack on "clone -s"Libravatar Jeff King1-2/+10
The effects of repacking on a repository with alternates are a bit subtle. The two main things users will want are: 1. Not to waste disk space by accidentally copying objects which could be shared. 2. Copying all objects explicitly to break the dependency on the source repo. This patch describes both under the "clone -s" documentation. It makes sense to put it there rather than in git-repack.txt for both cases. For (1), we are warning the user who is using "clone -s" about what _not_ to do, so we need to get their attention when reading about "clone -s". For (2), we are telling them how git-repack can be used to accomplish a task, but until they know that git-repack is the right tool, they have no reason to look at the repack documentation.

Most of the docs and printouts refer to "commands" when discussing what the end users call via the "git" top-level program. We should refer them as "git programs" when we discuss the fact that the commands are implemented as separate programs, but in other contexts, it is better to use the term "git commands" consistently.

2009-08-05don't let the delta cache grow unbounded in 'git repack'Libravatar Nicolas Pitre1-3/+11
I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough to repack a 600 MB repository. However the unbounded delta cache size always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to a halt. So unbounded caches are never a good idea. A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going to take quite some time to repack already anyway. While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation entries a bit. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-07-25git svn: revert default behavior for --minimize-urlLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+11
This reverts the --minimize-url behavior change that appeared recently in commit 0b2af457a49e3b00d47d556d5301934d27909db8 ("Fix branch detection when repository root is inaccessible"). However, we now allow the option to be turned off by allowing "--no-minimize-url" so people with limited-access setups can still take advantage of the fix in 0b2af457a49e3b00d47d556d5301934d27909db8. Also document the behavior and default settings of minimize-url in the manpage for the first time.

2009-07-24git repack: keep commits hidden by a graftLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+6
When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily remove the graft and end up with a broken repository. So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents. As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted parents.
