2014-09-16Documentation/git-rebase.txt: <upstream> must be given to specify <branch>Libravatar Sergey Organov1-1/+1
Current syntax description makes one wonder if there is any syntactic way to distinguish between <branch> and <upstream> so that one can specify <branch> but not <upstream>, but that is not the case. Make it explicit that these arguments are positional, i.e. the earlier ones cannot be omitted if you want to give later ones.

2014-08-26send-pack: take refspecs over stdinLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+12
Pushing a large number of refs works over most transports, because we implement send-pack as an internal function. However, it can sometimes fail when pushing over http, because we have to spawn "git send-pack --stateless-rpc" to do the heavy lifting, and we pass each refspec on the command line. This can cause us to overflow the OS limits on the size of the command line for a large push. We can solve this by giving send-pack a --stdin option and using it from remote-curl. We already dealt with this on the fetch-pack side in 078b895 (fetch-pack: new --stdin option to read refs from stdin, 2012-04-02). The stdin option (and in particular, its use of packet-lines for stateless-rpc input) is modeled after that solution.

2014-08-12Documentation/git-rebase.txt: -f forces a rebase that would otherwise be a no-opLibravatar Sergey Organov1-5/+2
"Current branch is a descendant of the commit you are rebasing onto" does not necessarily mean "rebase" requires "--force". For a plain vanilla "history flattening" rebase, the rebase can be done without forcing if there is a merge between the tip of the branch being rebased and the commit you are rebasing onto, even if the tip is descendant of the other.

2014-08-05config: teach "git -c" to recognize an empty stringLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
In a config file, you can do: [foo] bar to turn the "foo.bar" boolean flag on, and you can do: [foo] bar= to set "foo.bar" to the empty string. However, git's "-c" parameter treats both: git -c foo.bar and git -c foo.bar= as the boolean flag, and there is no way to set a variable to the empty string. This patch enables the latter form to do that. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-07-13git: add performance tracing for git's main() function to debug scriptsLibravatar Karsten Blees1-0/+5
Use trace_performance to measure and print execution time and command line arguments of the entire main() function. In constrast to the shell's 'time' utility, which measures total time of the parent process, this logs all involved git commands recursively. This is particularly useful to debug performance issues of scripted commands (i.e. which git commands were called with which parameters, and how long did they execute). Due to git's deliberate use of exit(), the implementation uses an atexit routine rather than just adding trace_performance_since() at the end of main(). Usage example: > GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=~/git-trace.log git stash list Creates a log file like this: 23:57:38.638765 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000310107 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--git-dir' 23:57:38.644387 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000261759 s: git command: 'git' 'rev-parse' '--show-toplevel' 23:57:38.646207 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000304468 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-colorbool' 'color.interactive' 23:57:38.648491 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000241667 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-color' 'color.interactive.help' 'red bold' 23:57:38.650465 trace.c:405 performance: 0.000243063 s: git command: 'git' 'config' '--get-color' '' 'reset' 23:57:38.654850 trace.c:405 performance: 0.025126313 s: git command: 'git' 'stash' 'list' Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
