2019-10-17remote-curl: pass on atomic capability to remote sideLibravatar brian m. carlson1-0/+5
When pushing more than one reference with the --atomic option, the server is supposed to perform a single atomic transaction to update the references, leaving them either all to succeed or all to fail. This works fine when pushing locally or over SSH, but when pushing over HTTP, we fail to pass the atomic capability to the remote side. In fact, we have not reported this capability to any remote helpers during the life of the feature. Now normally, things happen to work nevertheless, since we actually check for most types of failures, such as non-fast-forward updates, on the client side, and just abort the entire attempt. However, if the server side reports a problem, such as the inability to lock a ref, the transaction isn't atomic, because we haven't passed the appropriate capability over and the remote side has no way of knowing that we wanted atomic behavior. Fix this by passing the option from the transport code through to remote helpers, and from the HTTP remote helper down to send-pack. With this change, we can detect if the server side rejects the push and report back appropriately. Note the difference in the messages: the remote side reports "atomic transaction failed", while our own checking rejects pushes with the message "atomic push failed". Document the atomic option in the remote helper documentation, so other implementers can implement it if they like.

2019-08-11doc: fix repeated wordsLibravatar Mark Rushakoff9-9/+9
Inspired by 21416f0a07 ("restore: fix typo in docs", 2019-08-03), I ran "git grep -E '(\b[a-zA-Z]+) \1\b' -- Documentation/" to find other cases where words were duplicated, e.g. "the the", and in most cases removed one of the repeated words. There were many false positives by this grep command, including deliberate repeated words like "really really" or valid uses of "that that" which I left alone, of course. I also did not correct any of the legitimate, accidentally repeated words in old RelNotes.

2019-08-05doc: typo: s/can not/cannot/ and s/is does/does/Libravatar Mark Rushakoff6-7/+7
"Can not" suggests one has the option to not do something, whereas "cannot" more strongly suggests something is disallowed or impossible. Noticed "can not", mistakenly used instead of "cannot" in git help glossary, then ran git grep 'can not' and found many other instances. Only files in the Documentation folder were modified. 'Can not' also occurs in some source code comments and some test assertion messages, and there is an error message and translation "can not move directory into itself" which I may fix and submit separately from the documentation change. Also noticed and fixed "is does" in git help fetch, but there are no other occurrences of that typo according to git grep.
