2011-07-06docs: document --textconv diff optionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+11
This has been there since textconv existed, but was never documented. There is some overlap with what's in gitattributes(5), but it's important to warn in both places that textconv diffs probably can't be applied.

Change the documentation for the git-sh-i18n--envsubst program to include a SYNOPSIS section. Include the invocation of the program from git-sh-i18n.sh. Not having a SYNOPSIS section caused the "doc" target to fail on Centos 5.5 with asciidoc 8.2.5, while building with 8.6.4 on Debian works just fine.

2011-05-26docs: fix some antique example outputLibravatar Jeff King2-4/+4
These diff-index and diff-tree sample outputs date back to the first month of git's existence. The output format has changed slightly since then, so let's have it match the current output. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-05-26docs: make sure literal "->" isn't converted to arrowLibravatar Jeff King2-5/+5
Recent versions of asciidoc will treat "->" as a single-glyph arrow symbol, unless it is inside a literal code block. This is a problem if we are discussing literal output and want to show the ASCII characters. Our usage falls into three categories: 1. Inside a code block. These can be left as-is. 2. Discussing literal output or code, but inside a paragraph. This patch escapes these as "\->". 3. Using the arrow as a symbolic element, such as "use the Edit->Account Settings menu". In this case, the arrow symbol is preferable, so we leave it as-is. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-05-26docs: update status --porcelain formatLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+23
The --porcelain format was originally identical to the --short format, but designed to be stable as the short format changed. Since this was written, the short format picked up a few incompatible niceties, but this description was never changed. Let's mention the differences. While we're at it, let's add some sub-section headings to make the "output" section a little easier to navigate.

2011-05-25Teach read-tree the -n|--dry-run optionLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+5
The option can be used to check if read-tree with the same set of other options like "-m" and "-u" would succeed without actually changing either the index or the working tree. The relevant tests in the t10?? range were extended to do a read-tree -n before the real read-tree to make sure neither the index nor any local files were changed with -n and the same exit code as without -n is returned. The helper functions added for that purpose reside in the new t/lib-read-tree.sh file. The only exception is #13 in t1004 ("unlinking an un-unlink-able symlink"). As this is an issue of wrong directory permissions it is not detected with -n. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-05-24require-work-tree wants more than what its name saysLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+8
Somebody tried "git pull" from a random place completely outside the work tree, while exporting GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE that are set to correct places, e.g. GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME/git.git GIT_DIR=$GIT_WORK_TREE/.git export GIT_WORK_TREE GIT_DIR cd /tmp git pull At the beginning of git-pull, we check "require-work-tree" and then "cd-to-toplevel". I _think_ the original intention when I wrote the command was "we MUST have a work tree, our $(cwd) might not be at the top-level directory of it", and no stronger than that. That check is a very sensible thing to do before doing cd-to-toplevel. We check that the place we would want to go exists, and then go there. But the implementation of require_work_tree we have today is quite different. I don't have energy to dig the history, but currently it says: test "$(git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null)" = true || die "fatal: $0 cannot be used without a working tree." Which is completely bogus. Even though we may happen to be just outside of it right now, we may have a working tree that we can cd_to_toplevel back to. Add a function "require_work_tree_exists" that implements the check this function originally intended (this is so that third-party scripts that rely on the current behaviour do not have to get broken). For now, update _no_ in-tree scripts, not even "git pull", as nobody on the list seems to really care about the above corner case workflow that triggered this. Scripts can be updated after vetting that they do want the "we want to make sure the place we are going to go actually exists" semantics. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
