2006-05-30Improved pack format documentation.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-3/+8
While trying to implement a pack reader in Java I was mislead by some facts listed in this documentation as well as found a few details to be missing about the pack header. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-05-29Documentation: retitle the git-core tutorialLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-2/+2
Give the git-core tutorial a name that better reflects its intended audience. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-29documentation: add brief mention of cat-file to tutorial part ILibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-1/+7
I'd rather avoid git cat-file so early on, but the git-cat-file -p old-commit:/path/to/file trick is too useful.... Also fix a nearby typo while we're at it. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-29documentation: mention gitk font adjustment in tutorialLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-1/+3
Kind of silly, but the font I get by default in gitk makes it mostly unusable for me, so this is the first thing I'd want to know about. (But maybe there's a better suggestion than just Ctrl-='ing until satisfied.) Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-25Documentation/Makefile: remove extra /Libravatar Martin Waitz1-3/+3
As both DESTDIR and the prefix are supposed to be absolute pathnames they can simply be concatenated without an extra / (like in the main Makefile). The extra slash may even break installation on Windows. [jc: adjusted an earlier workaround for this problem in the dist-doc target in the main Makefile as well. ] Signed-off-by: Martin Waitz <tali@admingilde.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Add a sequel to tutorial.txt which discusses the index file and the object database. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-21tutorial: expanded discussion of commit historyLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-53/+112
Expand the history-browsing section of the tutorial a bit, in part to address Junio's suggestion that we mention "git grep" and Linus's complaint that people are missing the flexibility of the commandline interfaces for selecting commits. This reads a little more like a collection of examples than a "tutorial", but maybe that's what people need at this point. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-21tutorial: replace "whatchanged" by "log"Libravatar J. Bruce Fields1-6/+6
Junio suggested changing references to git-whatchanged to git-log. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-21Elaborate on why ':' is a bad idea in a ref name.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-0/+2
With the new cat-file syntax of 'v1.3.3:refs.c' we should mention it as part of the reason why ':' is not permitted in a ref name. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-21Reference git-check-ref-format in git-branch.Libravatar Shawn Pearce2-1/+7
Its nice to have git-check-ref-format actually get mentioned in git-branch's documentation as the syntax of a ref name must conform to what is described in git-check-ref-format. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* eb/quilt: Implement a --dry-run option to git-quiltimport Implement git-quiltimport
2006-05-18Implement a --dry-run option to git-quiltimportLibravatar Eric W. Biederman1-1/+7
Since large quilt trees like -mm can easily have patches without clear authorship information, add a --dry-run option to make the problem patches easy to find. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-18Implement git-quiltimportLibravatar Eric W. Biederman1-0/+55
Importing a quilt patch series into git is not very difficult but parsing the patch descriptions and all of the other minutia take a bit of effort to get right, so this automates it. Since git and quilt complement each other it makes sense to make it easy to go back and forth between the two. If a patch is encountered that it cannot derive the author from the user is asked.

2006-05-14Add "--branches", "--tags" and "--remotes" options to git-rev-parse.Libravatar Sean1-0/+9
"git branch" uses "rev-parse --all" and becomes much too slow when there are many tags (it scans all refs). Use the new "--branches" option of rev-parse to speed things up. Signed-off-by: Sean Estabrooks <seanlkml@sympatico.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-05-08Teach git-clean optional <paths>... parameters.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
When optional paths arguments are given, git-clean passes them to underlying git-ls-files; with this, you can say: git clean 'temp-*' to clean only the garbage files whose names begin with 'temp-'. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

2006-05-05update-index --againLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+5
After running 'git-update-index' for some paths, you may want to do the update on the same set of paths again. The new flag --again checks the paths whose index entries are are different from the HEAD commit and updates them from the working tree contents. This was brought up by Carl Worth on #git.

2006-05-05core.prefersymlinkrefs: use symlinks for .git/HEADLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+5
When inspecting a project whose build infrastructure used to assume that .git/HEAD is a symlink ref, core.prefersymlinkrefs in the config file of such a project would help to bisect its history.

Move incorrect asciidoc level 2 titles back to level 1. Show output of git-name-rev in man page example. Reword sentences that begin with a period (.) in asciidoc numbered lists to work around conversion to man page bug. Mention that git-repack now calls git-prune-packed when the -d option is passed to it. [imap] section headers in the config file example need to be contained in a literal block. imap.pass is the proper config file variable to use, not imap.password.
