* Clarify "string of unsigned bytes"; * Blob has two variants (regular file vs symlink), not (blob vs symlink); * Clarify permission mode bits; * Clarify ce_namelen() "too long to fit in the length field" case; * Clarify "." etc are forbidden as path components; * Match the description with the internal wording "cache-tree"; * All types of extension begin with signature and length as explained in the first part. Don't repeat the "length" part in the description of each extension (can be mistaken as if there is a separate 32-bit size field inside the extension), but state what the signature for each extension is. * Don't say "Extension tag", as we have said "Extension signature" in the first part---be consistent; * Clarify the invalidation of cache-tree entries; * Correct description on subtree_nr field in the cache-tree; * Clarify the order of entries in cache-tree; Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-03-22git-am.txt: advertise 'git am --abort' instead of 'rm .git/rebase-apply'Libravatar SZEDER Gábor1-3/+3
'git am --abort' is around for quite a long time now, and users should normally not poke around inside the .git directory, yet the documentation of 'git am' still recommends the following: ... if you decide to start over from scratch, run `rm -f -r .git/rebase-apply` ... Suggest 'git am --abort' instead. It's not quite the same as the original, because 'git am --abort' will restore the original branch, while simply removing '.git/rebase-apply' won't, but that's rather a thinko in the original wording, because that won't actually "start over _from scratch_".

2011-03-12docs: point git.txt author credits to git-scm.comLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
There is a nice shortlog-ish output of the authors there. We also point people directly to shortlog, but of course they might be reading the documentation online or from a binary package of git.
2011-03-11Make the default abbrev length configurableLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+6
The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10 new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number. These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point, seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all the time. We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project in the git config file. This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7 is not raised yet. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-03-11doc: add missing git footersLibravatar Jeff King5-0/+20
Almost every page has a footer that links back to the main git(1) page. Let's add it on the few that are missing it.
2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesLibravatar Jeff King134-1134/+4
The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

This reverts commit 72a5b561fc1c4286bc7c5b0693afc076af261e1f, as adding fixed number of hexdigits more than necessary to make one object name locally unique does not help in futureproofing the uniqueness of names we generate today. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-03-09log --cherry: a synonymLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+8
At the porcelain level, because by definition there are many more contributors than integrators, it makes sense to give a handy short-hand for --right-only used with --cherry-mark and --no-merges.
