"what you are going to commit is" doesn't need the "is" and does need a comma. "can trivially see" is an unecessary split infinitive and "easily" is a more appropriate adverb. Signed-off-by: Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-10-26combine-diff: a few more finishing touches.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
"new file" and "deleted file" were already reported in the original code, but the logic was not as transparent as it could have. This uses a few variables and more comments to clarify the flow. The rule is: (1) if a path exists in the merge result when no parent had it, we report "new" (otherwise it came from the parents, as opposed to have added by the evil merge). (2) if the path does not exist in the merge result, it is "deleted". Since we can say "new" and "deleted", there is no reason not to follow the /dev/null convention. This fixes it. Appending function name after @@@ ... @@@ is trivial, so implement it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-10-26Documentation: clarify refname disambiguation rules.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+21
Nobody should create ambiguous refs (i.e. have tag "foobar" and branch "foobar" at the same time) that need to be disambiguated with these rules to keep sanity, but the rules are there so document them. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-10-26diff-format.txt: Combined diff format documentation supplementLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-8/+68
Update example combined diff format to the current version $ git diff-tree -p -c fec9ebf16c948bcb4a8b88d0173ee63584bcde76 and provide complete first chunk in example. Document combined diff format headers: how "diff header" look like, which of "extended diff headers" are used with combined diff and how they look like, differences in two-line from-file/to-file header from non-combined diff format, chunk header format. It should be noted that combined diff format was designed for quick _content_ inspection and renames would work correctly to pick which blobs from each tree to compare but otherwise not reflected in the output (the pathnames are not shown).

2006-10-13git-repack: repo.usedeltabaseoffsetLibravatar Junio C Hamano2-0/+18
When configuration variable `repack.UseDeltaBaseOffset` is set for the repository, the command passes `--delta-base-offset` option to `git-pack-objects`; this typically results in slightly smaller packs, but the generated packs are incompatible with versions of git older than (and including) v1.4.3.

2006-10-09add commit count options to git-shortlogLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-2/+15
This patch does 3 things: 1) Output the number of commits along with the name for each author (nice to know for long lists spending more than a screen worth of commit lines). 2) Provide a switch (-n) to sort authors according to their number of commits instead of author alphabetic order. 3) Provide a switch (-s) to supress commit lines and only keep a summary of authors and the number of commits for each of them. And for good measure a short usage is displayed with -h. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
