2010-09-15git-ls-files.txt: clarify -x/--exclude optionLibravatar Jay Soffian1-2/+3
Since b5227d8, -x/--exclude does not apply to cached files. This is easy to miss unless you read the discussion in the EXCLUDE PATTERNS section. Clarify that the option applies to untracked files and direct the reader to EXCLUDE PATTERNS. Signed-off-by: Jay Soffian <jaysoffian@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-10-30ls-files: unbreak "ls-files -i"Libravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
Commit b5227d8 changed the behavior of "ls-files" with respect to includes, but accidentally broke the "-i" option The original behavior was: 1. if no "-i" is given, cull all results according to --exclude* 2. if "-i" is given, show the inverse of (1) The broken behavior was: 1. if no "-i" is given: a. for "-o", cull results according to --exclude* b. for index files, always show all 2. if "-i" is given: a. for "-o", shows the inverse of (1a) b. for index files, always show all The fixed behavior keeps the new (1b) behavior introduced by b5227d8, but fixes the (2b) behavior to show only ignored files, not all files. This patch also tweaks the documentation. The original text was somewhat obscure in the first place, but it is also now inaccurate (the relationship between (1b) and (2b) is not quite a "reverse").

2009-04-25Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliableLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+5
It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC) has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away, the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs. It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly. As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work around it in Git. At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().
