2009-03-07grep: add support for coloring with external grepsLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+11
Add the config variable color.grep.external, which can be used to switch on coloring of external greps. To enable auto coloring with GNU grep, one needs to set color.grep.external to --color=always to defeat the pager started by git grep. The value of the config variable will be passed to the external grep only if it would colorize internal grep's output, so automatic terminal detected works. The default is to not pass any option, because the external grep command could be a program without color support. Also set the environment variables GREP_COLOR and GREP_COLORS to pass the configured color for matches to the external grep. This works with GNU grep; other variables could be added as needed.

2009-03-07grep: color patterns in outputLibravatar René Scharfe2-0/+17
Coloring matches makes them easier to spot in the output. Add two options and two parameters: color.grep (to turn coloring on or off), color.grep.match (to set the color of matches), --color and --no-color (to turn coloring on or off, respectively). The output of external greps is not changed. This patch is based on earlier ones by Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy and Thiago Alves.

2009-03-02send-email: add --confirm option and configuration settingLibravatar Jay Soffian1-0/+21
send-email violates the principle of least surprise by automatically cc'ing additional recipients without confirming this with the user. This patch teaches send-email a --confirm option. It takes the following values: --confirm=always always confirm before sending --confirm=never never confirm before sending --confirm=cc confirm before sending when send-email has automatically added addresses from the patch to the Cc list --confirm=compose confirm before sending the first message when using --compose. (Needed to maintain backwards compatibility with existing behavior.) --confirm=auto 'cc' + 'compose' If sendemail.confirm is unconfigured, the option defaults to 'compose' if any suppress-Cc related options have been used, otherwise it defaults to 'auto'. Unfortunately, it is impossible to introduce this patch such that it helps new users without potentially annoying some existing users. We attempt to mitigate the latter by: * Allowing the user to set 'git config sendemail.confirm never' * Allowing the user to say 'all' after the first prompt to not be prompted on remaining emails during the same invocation. * Telling the user about the 'sendemail.confirm' setting if it is unconfigured whenever we prompt due to Cc before sending. * Only prompting if no --suppress related options have been passed, as using such an option is likely to indicate an experienced send-email user. There is a slight fib in message informing the user of the sendemail.confirm setting and this is intentional. Setting 'auto' differs from leaving sendemail.confirm unset in two ways: 1) 'auto' obviously squelches the informational message; 2) 'auto' prompts when the Cc list has been expanded even in the presence of a --suppress related option, where leaving sendemail.confirm unset does not. This is intentional to keep the message simple, and to avoid adding another sendemail.confirm value ('auto-except-suppress'?).

2009-02-20Support 'raw' date formatLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+3
Talking about --date, one thing I wanted for the 1234567890 date was to get things in the raw format. Sure, you get them with --pretty=raw, but it felt a bit sad that you couldn't just ask for the date in raw format. So here's a throw-away patch (meaning: I won't be re-sending it, because I really don't think it's a big deal) to add "--date=raw". It just prints out the internal raw git format - seconds since epoch plus timezone (put another way: 'date +"%s %z"' format) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-02-15imap.preformattedHTML to tell Thunderbird to send non-flowed textLibravatar Jeremy White1-0/+7
Many e-mail based development communities require non-flowed text to carry patches to prevent whitespaces from getting mangled, but there is no easy way to tell Thunderbird MUA not to use format=flowed, unless you configure it to do so unconditionally for all outgoing mails. A workaround for users who use git-imap-send is to wrap the patch in "pre" element in the draft folder as an HTML message, and tell Thunderbird to send "text only". Thunderbird turns such a message into a non-flowed plain text when sending it out, which is what we want for patch e-mails.

2009-02-14send-email: --suppress-cc improvementsLibravatar Jay Soffian1-8/+19
Since 6564828 (git-send-email: Generalize auto-cc recipient mechanism., 2007-12-25) we can suppress automatic Cc generation separately for each of the possible address sources. However, --suppress-cc=sob suppressed both SOB lines and body (but not header) Cc lines, contrary to the name. Change --suppress-cc=sob to mean only SOB lines, and add separate choices 'bodycc' (body Cc lines) and 'body' (both 'sob' and 'bodycc'). The option --no-signed-off-by-cc now acts like --suppress-cc=sob, which is not backwards compatible but matches the name of the option. Also update the documentation and add a few tests. Original patch by me. Revised by Thomas Rast, who contributed the documentation and test updates. Signed-off-by: Jay Soffian <jaysoffian@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-02-14Documentation: pruning recipe for destructive filter-branchLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+41
Add a section about how to shrink a repository's size after running git-filter-branch to remove large blobs from history. This comes up every week or so on IRC, and the commands required to handle every case are not very newbie-friendly, so hopefully writing them down somewhere leads to fewer questions. It may seem contradictory to document fallbacks for older Gits in newer docs, but we want to point people at this as a FAQ answer, and they will frequently not have the newest version installed.
