2018-01-04docs/diff-options: clarify scope of diff-filter typesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
The same document for "--diff-filter" is included by many programs in the diff family. Because it mentions all possible types (added, removed, etc), this may imply to the reader that all types can be generated by a particular command. But this isn't necessarily the case; "diff-files" cannot generally produce an "Added" entry, since the diff is limited to what is already in the index. Let's make it clear that the list here is the full one, and does not imply anything about what a particular invocation may produce. Note that conditionally including items (e.g., omitting "Added" in the git-diff-files manpage) isn't the right solution here for two reasons: - The problem isn't diff-files, but doing an index to working tree diff. "git diff" can do the same diff, but also has other modes where "Added" does show up. - The direction of the diff matters. Doing "diff-files -R" can get you Added entries (but not Deleted ones). So it's best just to explain that the set of available types depends on the specific diff invocation.

2017-09-12shell: drop git-cvsserver support by defaultLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+16
The git-cvsserver script is old and largely unmaintained these days. But git-shell allows untrusted users to run it out of the box, significantly increasing its attack surface. Let's drop it from git-shell's list of internal handlers so that it cannot be run by default. This is not backwards compatible. But given the age and development activity on CVS-related parts of Git, this is likely to impact very few users, while helping many more (i.e., anybody who runs git-shell and had no intention of supporting CVS). There's no configuration mechanism in git-shell for us to add a boolean and flip it to "off". But there is a mechanism for adding custom commands, and adding CVS support here is fairly trivial. Let's document it to give guidance to anybody who really is still running cvsserver. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-03-20push: mention "push.default=tracking" in the documentationLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+2
Change the documentation for push.tracking=* to re-include a mention of what "tracking" does. The "tracking" option was renamed to "upstream" back in 53c4031 ("push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'", 2011-02-16), this section was then subsequently rewritten in 87a70e4 ("config doc: rewrite push.default section", 2013-06-19) to remove any mention of "tracking". Maybe we should just warn or die nowadays if this option is in the config, but I had some old config of mine use this option, I'd forgotten that it was a synonym, and nothing in git's documentation mentioned that. That's bad, either we shouldn't support it at all, or we should document what it does. This patch does the latter.

The hook was added in a86ed83cce (Merge branch 'tr/notes-display' - 2010-03-24), which updated githooks.txt but not git-commit.txt. git-commit.txt was later updated in e858af6d50 (commit: document a couple of options - 2012-06-08). Since this commit focused on command line options, this section was probably forgotten. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
