2015-04-01howto: document more tools for recovery corruptionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+237
Long ago, I documented a corruption recovery I did and gave some C code that I used to help find a flipped bit. I had to fix a similar case recently, and I ended up writing a few more tools. I hope nobody ever has to use these, but it does not hurt to share them, just in case. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-03-31fast-import doc: remove suggested 16-parent limitLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-4/+0
Merges with an absurd number of parents are still a bad idea because they do not render well in tools like gitk, but if they are present in the repository being imported into git then there's no need to avoid reproducing them faithfully. In olden times, before v1.6.0-rc0~194 (2008-06-27), git commit-tree and higher-level tools built on top of it were limited to writing 16 parents for a commit. Nowadays normal git operations are happy to write more parents when asked, so the motivation for this note in the fast-import documentation is gone and we can remove it.

2015-03-30cherry-pick: fix docs describing handling of empty commitsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
Commit b27cfb0 (git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits option, 2012-04-20), added the --keep-redundant-commits option, and switched the default behavior (without that option) to silently ignore empty commits. Later, the second half of that commit was reverted in ac2b0e8 (cherry-pick: regression fix for empty commits, 2012-05-29), but the documentation added for --keep-redundant-commits was never updated to match. Let's do so now. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-03-30docs: clarify what git-rebase's "-p" / "--preserve-merges" doesLibravatar Sebastian Schuberth1-1/+3
Ignoring a merge can be read as ignoring the changes a merge commit introduces altogether, as if the entire side branch the merge commit merged was removed from the history. But that is not what happens if "-p" is not specified. What happens is that the individual commits a merge commit introduces are replayed in order, and only any possible merge conflict resolutions or manual amendments to the merge commit are ignored. Get this straight in the docs. Also, do not say that merge commits are *tried* to be recreated. As that is true almost everywhere it is better left unsaid.
