2007-09-05Include a git-push example for creating a remote branchLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+6
Many users get confused when `git push origin master:foo` works when foo already exists on the remote repository but are confused when foo doesn't exist as a branch and this form does not create the branch foo. This new example highlights the trick of including refs/heads/ in front of the desired branch name to create a branch. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-09-03GIT 1.5.3.1: obsolete git-p4 in RPM spec file.Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-1/+14
HPA noticed that yum does not like the newer git RPM set; it turns out that we do not ship git-p4 anymore but existing installations do not realize the package is gone if we do not tell anything about it. David Kastrup suggests using Obsoletes in the spec file of the new RPM to replace the old package, so here is a try. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-08-31git-diff: resurrect the traditional empty "diff --git" behaviourLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+10
The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from "git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns out to be a bad idea. It robbed cache-dirty information from people who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh". It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore. This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist. By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out from "git diff" output. At the end of the command, it automatically runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the user. In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness do not even have to see the warning. The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.

2007-08-31filter-branch: introduce convenience function "skip_commit"Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-7/+27
With this function, a commit filter can leave out unwanted commits (such as temporary commits). It does _not_ undo the changeset corresponding to that commit, but it _skips_ the revision. IOW no tree object is changed by this. If you like to commit early and often, but want to filter out all intermediate commits, marked by "@@@" in the commit message, you can now do this with git filter-branch --commit-filter ' if git cat-file commit $GIT_COMMIT | grep '@@@' > /dev/null; then skip_commit "$@"; else git commit-tree "$@"; fi' newbranch Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-08-31filter-branch: provide the convenience functions also for commit filtersLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+0
Move the convenience functions to the top of git-filter-branch.sh, and return from the script when the environment variable SOURCE_FUNCTIONS is set. By sourcing git-filter-branch with that variable set automatically, all commit filters may access the convenience functions like "map".

2007-08-31filter-branch: fix remnants of old syntax in documentationLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-14/+18
Some time ago, filter-branch's syntax changed so that more than one ref can be rewritten at the same time. This involved the removal of the ref name for the result; instead, the refs are rewritten in-place. This updates the last leftovers in the documentation to reflect the new behavior.

2007-08-28"format-patch --root rev" is the way to show everything.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+22
We used to trigger the special case "things not in origin" semantics only when one and only one positive ref is given, and no number (e.g. "git format-patch -4 origin") was specified, and used the general revision range semantics for everything else. This narrows the special case a bit more, by making: git format-patch --root this_version to show everything that leads to the named commit. More importantly, document the two different semantics better. The generic revision range semantics came later and bolted on without being clearly documented.

2007-08-27git --bare cmd: do not unconditionally nuke GIT_DIRLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
"GIT_DIR=some.where git --bare cmd" and worse yet "git --git-dir=some.where --bare cmd" were very confusing. They both ignored git-dir specified, and instead made $cwd as GIT_DIR. This changes --bare not to override existing GIT_DIR. This has been like this for a long time. Let's hope nobody sane relied on this insane behaviour.

2007-08-26user-manual: edit "ignoring files" for concisenessLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-45/+18
The immediate motivation for writing this section was to explain the various places ignore patterns could be used. However, I still think .gitignore is the case most people will want to learn about first. It also makes it a bit more concrete to introduce ignore patterns in the context of .gitignore first. And the existance of gitignore(5) relieves the pressure to explain it all here. So, stick to the .gitignore example, with only a brief mention of the others, explain the syntax only by example, and leave the rest to gitignore(5). Signed-off-by: J.
