2013-04-22git add: --ignore-removal is a better named --no-allLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+6
In the historical context of "git add --all ." that pays attention to "all kinds of changes" (implying "without ignoring removals"), the option to countermand it "--no-all" may have made sense, but because we will be making "--all" the default when a pathspec is given, it makes more sense to rename the option to a more explicit "--ignore-removal". The "--all" option naturally becomes its negation, "--no-ignore-removal". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-04-15glossary: improve definitions of refspec and pathspecLibravatar Thomas Ackermann1-23/+10
The exact definition of "refspec" can be found in git-fetch and git-push manpages. So don't duplicate this here in the glossary. Actually the definition of "pathspec" should be moved to a separate file akin to the way it's done with "refspec". But this will only be wortwhile when there's more to say about it. So for the time being just improve the first sentence a little bit; fix the indentation of the first paragraph after the bullet list and remove the one-item list of magic signatures with its - for the user - unnecessary introduction of "magic word 'top'".

"git checkout -- <paths>" is usually used to restore all modified files in <paths>. In sparse checkout mode, this command is overloaded with another meaning: to add back all files in <paths> that are excluded by sparse patterns. As the former makes more sense for day-to-day use.

2013-04-13doc/http-backend: match query-string in apache half-auth exampleLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+24
When setting up a "half-auth" repository in which reads can be done anonymously but writes require authentication, it is best if the server can require authentication for both the ref advertisement and the actual receive-pack POSTs. This alleviates the need for the admin to set http.receivepack in the repositories, and means that the client is challenged for credentials immediately, instead of partway through the push process (and git clients older than v1.7.11.7 had trouble handling these challenges). Since detecting a push during the ref advertisement requires matching the query string, and this is non-trivial to do in Apache, we have traditionally punted and instructed users to just protect "/git-receive-pack$". This patch provides the mod_rewrite recipe to actually match the ref advertisement, which is preferred. While we're at it, let's add the recipe to our test scripts so that we can be sure that it works, and doesn't get broken (either by our changes or by changes in Apache).

2013-04-11doc/http-backend: give some lighttpd config examplesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+55
The examples in the documentation are all for Apache. Let's at least cover the basics: an anonymous server, an authenticated server, and a "half auth" server with anonymous read and authenticated write. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-04-11doc/http-backend: clarify "half-auth" repo configurationLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
When the http-backend is set up to allow anonymous read but authenticated write, the http-backend manual suggests catching only the "/git-receive-pack" POST of the packfile, not the initial "info/refs?service=git-receive-pack" GET in which we advertise refs. This does work and is secure, as we do not allow any write during the info/refs request, and the information in the ref advertisement is the same that you would get from a fetch. However, the configuration required by the server is slightly more complex. The default `http.receivepack` setting is to allow pushes if the webserver tells us that the user authenticated, and otherwise to return a 403 ("Forbidden"). That works fine if authentication is turned on completely; the initial request requires authentication, and http-backend realizes it is OK to do a push. But for this "half-auth" state, no authentication has occurred during the initial ref advertisement. The http-backend CGI therefore does not think that pushing should be enabled, and responds with a 403. The client cannot continue, even though the server would have allowed it to run if it had provided credentials. It would be much better if the server responded with a 401, asking for credentials during the initial contact. But git-http-backend does not know about the server's auth configuration (so a 401 would be confusing in the case of a true anonymous server). Unfortunately, configuring Apache to recognize the query string and apply the auth appropriately to receive-pack (but not upload-pack) initial requests is non-trivial. The site admin can work around this by just turning on http.receivepack explicitly in its repositories. Let's document this workaround.

2013-04-10strbuf: create strbuf_humanise_bytes() to show byte sizesLibravatar Antoine Pelisse1-0/+5
Humanization of downloaded size is done in the same function as text formatting in 'process.c'. The code cannot be reused easily elsewhere. Separate text formatting from size simplification and make the function public in strbuf so that it can easily be used by other callers. We now can use strbuf_humanise_bytes() for both downloaded size and download speed calculation. One of the drawbacks is that speed will now look like this when download is stalled: "0 bytes/s" instead of "0 KiB/s".
