2011-10-03diff: resurrect XDF_NEED_MINIMAL with --minimalLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
Earlier, 582aa00 (git diff too slow for a file, 2010-05-02) unconditionally dropped XDF_NEED_MINIMAL option from the internal xdiff invocation to help performance on pathological cases, while hinting that a follow-up patch could reintroduce it with "--minimal" option from the command line. Make it so. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Older asciidoc (e.g. 8.2.5 on Centos 5.5) is unhappy if a manpage does not have a SYNOPSIS section. Show a sample (and a possibly bogus) command line of running two commands that pay attention to this environment variable with a customized value.

2011-09-13git-svn: teach git-svn to populate svn:mergeinfoLibravatar Bryan Jacobs1-0/+8
Allow git-svn to populate the svn:mergeinfo property automatically in a narrow range of circumstances. Specifically, when dcommitting a revision with multiple parents, all but (potentially) the first of which have been committed to SVN in the same repository as the target of the dcommit. In this case, the merge info is the union of that given by each of the parents, plus all changes introduced to the first parent by the other parents. In all other cases where a revision to be committed has multiple parents, cause "git svn dcommit" to raise an error rather than completing the commit and potentially losing history information in the upstream SVN repository. This behavior is disabled by default, and can be enabled by setting the svn.pushmergeinfo config option.

This reverts commit ffa69e61d3c5730bd4b65a465efc130b0ef3c7df, reversing changes made to 4a13c4d14841343d7caad6ed41a152fee550261d. Adding a new command line option to receive-pack and feed it from send-pack is not an acceptable way to add features, as there is no guarantee that your updated send-pack will be talking to updated receive-pack. New features need to be added via the capability mechanism negotiated over the protocol. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-09-01(short) documentation for the testgit remote helperLibravatar Matthieu Moy2-0/+32
While it's not a command meant to be used by actual users (hence, not mentionned in git(1)), this command is a very precious help for remote-helpers authors. The best place for such technical doc is the source code, but users may not find it without a link in a manpage.

2011-09-01Documentation/git-remote-helpers: explain how import works with multiple refsLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+21
This is important for two reasons: * when two "import" lines follow each other, only one "done" command should be issued in the fast-import stream, not one per "import". * The blank line terminating an import command should not be confused with the one terminating the sequence of commands. While we're there, illustrate the corresponding explanation for push batches with an example.

2011-09-01git-svn: Teach dcommit --mergeinfo to handle multiple linesLibravatar Bryan Jacobs1-2/+3
"svn dcommit --mergeinfo" replaces the svn:mergeinfo property in an upstream SVN repository with the given text. The svn:mergeinfo property may contain commits originating on multiple branches, separated by newlines. Cause space characters in the mergeinfo to be replaced by newlines, allowing a user to create history representing multiple branches being merged into one. Update the corresponding documentation and add a test for the new functionality.

2011-09-01git-svn: New flag to emulate empty directoriesLibravatar Ray Chen1-0/+11
Adds a --preserve-empty-dirs flag to the clone operation that will detect empty directories in the remote Subversion repository and create placeholder files in the corresponding local Git directories. This allows "empty" directories to exist in the history of a Git repository. Also adds the --placeholder-file flag to control the name of any placeholder files created. Default value is ".gitignore".

'git log -- <path>' does not "show commits that affect the specified paths" in a literal sense unless --full-history is given (for example, a file that only existed on a side branch will turn up no commits at all!).

2011-08-29Documentation/remote-helpers: explain capabilities firstLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-30/+129
The current remote helper documentation is from the perspective of git, so to speak: it presents a full menu of commands for a person invoking a remote helper to choose from. In practice, that's less useful than it could be, since the daunted novice remote-helper author probably just wanted a list of commands needs to implement to get started. So preface the command list with an overview of each capability, its purpose, and what commands it requires. As a side effect, this makes it a little clearer that git doesn't choose arbitrary commands to run, even if the remote helper advertises all capabilities --- instead, there are well defined command sequences for various tasks.

2011-08-28Documentation: clarify "git clean -e <pattern>"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+6
The current explanation of -e can be misread as allowing the user to say I know 'git clean -XYZ' (substitute -XYZ with any option and/or parameter) will remove paths A, B, and C, and I want them all removed except for paths matching this pattern by adding '-e C' to the same command line, i.e. 'git clean -e C -XYZ'. But that is not what this option does. It augments the set of ignore rules from the command line, just like the same "-e <pattern>" argument does with the "ls-files" command (the user could probably pass "-e \!C" to tell the command to clean everything the command would normally remove, except for C). Also error out when both -x and -e are given with an explanation of what -e means---it is a symptom of misunderstanding what -e does. It also fixes small style nit in the parameter to add_exclude() call. The current code only works because EXC_CMDL happens to be defined as 0. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-08-25git-notes.txt: clarify -C vs. copy and -FLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-2/+5
The current description of '-C' together with the analogy to 'git commit -C' can lead to the wrong conclusion that '-C' copies notes between objects. Make this clearer by rewording and pointing to 'copy'. The example for attaching binary notes with 'git hash-object' followed by 'git notes add -C' immediately raises the question: "Why not use 'git notes add -F'?". Answer it (the latter is not binary-safe). Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Acked-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
