2017-11-15Merge branch 'js/for-each-ref-remote-name-and-ref'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+15
The "--format=..." option "git for-each-ref" takes learned to show the name of the 'remote' repository and the ref at the remote side that is affected for 'upstream' and 'push' via "%(push:remotename)" and friends. * js/for-each-ref-remote-name-and-ref: for-each-ref: test :remotename and :remoteref for-each-ref: let upstream/push report the remote ref name for-each-ref: let upstream/push optionally report the remote name
2017-11-13Merge branch 'jm/status-ignored-files-list'Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-5/+43
The set of paths output from "git status --ignored" was tied closely with its "--untracked=<mode>" option, but now it can be controlled more flexibly. Most notably, a directory that is ignored because it is listed to be ignored in the ignore/exclude mechanism can be handled differently from a directory that ends up to be ignored only because all files in it are ignored. * jm/status-ignored-files-list: status: test ignored modes status: document options to show matching ignored files status: report matching ignored and normal untracked status: add option to show ignored files differently

2017-11-08for-each-ref: let upstream/push report the remote ref nameLibravatar J Wyman1-5/+9
There are times when scripts want to know not only the name of the push branch on the remote, but also the name of the branch as known by the remote repository. An example of this is when a tool wants to push to the very same branch from which it would pull automatically, i.e. the `<remote>` and the `<to>` in `git push <remote> <from>:<to>` would be provided by `%(upstream:remotename)` and `%(upstream:remoteref)`, respectively. This patch offers the new suffix :remoteref for the `upstream` and `push` atoms, allowing to show exactly that. Example: $ cat .git/config ... [remote "origin"] url = https://where.do.we.come/from fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/* [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master [branch "develop/with/topics"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/develop/with/topics ... $ git for-each-ref \ --format='%(push) %(push:remoteref)' \ refs/heads refs/remotes/origin/master refs/heads/master refs/remotes/origin/develop/with/topics refs/heads/develop/with/topics Signed-off-by: J Wyman <jwyman@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

"git check-ref-format --branch @{-1}" bit a "BUG()" when run outside a repository for obvious reasons; clarify the documentation and make sure we do not even try to expand the at-mark magic in such a case, but still call the validation logic for branch names. * jc/check-ref-format-oor: check-ref-format doc: --branch validates and expands <branch> check-ref-format --branch: strip refs/heads/ using skip_prefix check-ref-format --branch: do not expand @{...} outside repository

2017-10-27stash: mark "git stash save" deprecated in the man pageLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-3/+6
'git stash push' fixes a historical wart in the interface of 'git stash save'. As 'git stash push' has all functionality of 'git stash save', with a nicer, more consistent user interface deprecate 'git stash save'. To do this, remove it from the synopsis of the man page, and move it to a separate section, stating that it is deprecated. Helped-by: Robert P. J.

2017-10-27stash: replace "git stash save" with "git stash push" in the documentationLibravatar Thomas Gummerer3-8/+8
"git stash push" is the newer interface for creating a stash. While we are still keeping "git stash save" around for the time being, it's better to point new users of "git stash" to the more modern (and more feature rich) interface, instead of teaching them the older version that we might want to phase out in the future.

2017-10-24builtin/push.c: add push.pushOption configLibravatar Marius Paliga2-2/+37
Push options need to be given explicitly, via the command line as "git push --push-option <option>". Add the config option push.pushOption, which is a multi-valued option, containing push options that are sent by default. When push options are set in the lower-priority configulation file (e.g. /etc/gitconfig, or $HOME/.gitconfig), they can be unset later in the more specific repository config by the empty string. Add tests and update documentation as well. Signed-off-by: Marius Paliga <marius.paliga@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Change the word "bla" to "section.variable"; "bla" is a placeholder for a variable name but it wasn't clear for everyone. While we're here, also reformat this sample command line to use monospace instead of italics, to better match the rest of the file. Use a space instead of a dash in "git config", as is common in the rest of Git's documentation. Reported-by: Robert P. J.
