2006-07-23pack-objects: check pack.window for default window sizeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
For some repositories, deltas simply don't make sense. One can disable them for git-repack by adding --window, but git-push insists on making the deltas which can be very CPU-intensive for little benefit. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-23tar-tree: add the "tar.umask" config optionLibravatar Willy Tarreau2-1/+25
By default, git-tar-tree(1) sets file and directories modes to 0666 or 0777. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects such as the Linux Kernel, it might be excessive for other projects. With this variable, it becomes possible to tell git-tar-tree(1) to apply a specific umask to the modes above. The special value "user" indicates that the user's current umask will be used. This should be enough for most projects, as it will lead to the same permissions as git-checkout(1) would use. The default value remains 0, which means world read-write.

2006-07-23cvsexportcommit - add -a (add author line) flag, cleanup warningsLibravatar Martin Langhoff1-2/+6
This patch adds support for -a which will add an "Author: " line, and possibly a "Committer: " line to the bottom of the commit message for CVS. The commit message parser is now a little bit better, and some warnings have been cleaned up. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-14Add option to set initial In-Reply-To/ReferencesLibravatar Josh Triplett1-0/+6

2006-07-14Documentation/urls.txt: Use substitution to escape square bracketsLibravatar Jonas Fonseca2-8/+11
This changes "[user@]" to use {startsb} and {endsb} to insert [ and ], similar to how {caret} is used in git-rev-parse.txt. [jc: Removed a well-intentioned comment that broke the final formatting from the original patch.

2006-07-13sha1_file: add the ability to parse objects in "pack file format"Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+6
The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding. The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length information, which is somewhat wasteful. A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to copy the payload straight to packfiles. Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for now new object files are created with the traditional format. core.legacyheaders configuration item, when set to false makes the code write in new format for people to experiment with.

2006-07-03Make zlib compression level configurable, and change default.Libravatar Joachim B Haga1-0/+6
With the change in default, "git add ." on kernel dir is about twice as fast as before, with only minimal (0.5%) change in object size. The speed difference is even more noticeable when committing large files, which is now up to 8 times faster. The configurability is through setting core.compression = [-1..9] which maps to the zlib constants; -1 is the default, 0 is no compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.

I got tired of having to configure gitweb for every repository I work on. I sometimes prefer gitweb to standard GUIs like gitk or gitview; so this lets me automatically configure gitweb to browse my working repository and also opens my browser to it.

'A...B' is a shortcut for 'A B --not $(git-merge-base --all A B)'. This XOR-like operation is called symmetric difference in set theory. The symbol '...' has been chosen because it's rather similar to the existing '..' operator and the somewhat more natural caret ('^') is already taken.

Makefiles in subdirectories now use existing value of INSTALL, bindir, mandir if it is set, allowing those to be set in main Makefile or in included config.mak. Main Makefile exports variables which it sets. Accidentally it renames bin to bindir in Documentation/Makefile (should be bindir from start, but is unused, perhaps to be removed).

2006-06-24git-merge --squashLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
Some people tend to do many little commits on a topic branch, recording all the trials and errors, and when the topic is reasonably cooked well, would want to record the net effect of the series as one commit on top of the mainline, removing the cruft from the history. The topic is then abandoned or forked off again from that point at the mainline. The barebone porcelainish that comes with core git tools does not officially support such operation, but you can fake it by using "git pull --no-merge" when such a topic branch is not a strict superset of the mainline, like this: git checkout mainline git pull --no-commit . that-topic-branch : fix conflicts if any rm -f .git/MERGE_HEAD git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message' git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged This however does not work when the topic branch is a fast forward of the mainline, because normal "git pull" will never create a merge commit in such a case, and there is nothing special --no-commit could do to begin with. This patch introduces a new option, --squash, to support such a workflow officially in both fast-forward case and true merge case. The user-level operation would be the same in both cases: git checkout mainline git pull --squash . that-topic-branch : fix conflicts if any -- naturally, there would be : no conflict if fast forward. git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message' git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged When the current branch is already up-to-date with respect to the other branch, there truly is nothing to do, so the new option does not have any effect. This was brought up in #git IRC channel recently. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
