2013-07-12git-clone.txt: remove the restriction on pushing from a shallow cloneLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-5/+7
The document says one cannot push from a shallow clone. But that is not true (maybe it was at some point in the past). The client does not stop such a push nor does it give any indication to the receiver that this is a shallow push. If the receiver accepts it, it's in. Since 52fed6e (receive-pack: check connectivity before concluding "git push" - 2011-09-02), receive-pack is prepared to deal with broken push, a shallow push can't cause any corruption. Update the document to reflect that. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-07-11Merge branch 'pb/stash-refuse-to-kill'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+10
"git stash save" is not just about "saving" the local changes, but also is to restore the working tree state to that of HEAD. If you changed a non-directory into a directory in the local change, you may have untracked files in that directory, which have to be killed while doing so, unless you run it with --include-untracked. Teach the command to detect and error out before spreading the damage. This needed a small fix to "ls-files --killed". * pb/stash-refuse-to-kill: git stash: avoid data loss when "git stash save" kills a directory treat_directory(): do not declare submodules to be untracked

2013-07-11Merge branch 'jc/triangle-push-fixup'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-30/+50
Earlier remote.pushdefault (and per-branch branch.*.pushremote) were introduced as an additional mechanism to choose what repository to push into when "git push" did not say it from the command line, to help people who push to a repository that is different from where they fetch from. This attempts to finish that topic by teaching the default mechanism to choose branch in the remote repository to be updated by such a push. The 'current', 'matching' and 'nothing' modes (specified by the push.default configuration variable) extend to such a "triangular" workflow naturally, but 'upstream' and 'simple' have to be updated. . 'upstream' is about pushing back to update the branch in the remote repository that the current branch fetches from and integrates with, it errors out in a triangular workflow. . 'simple' is meant to help new people by avoiding mistakes, and will be the safe default in Git 2.0. In a non-triangular workflow, it will continue to act as a cross between 'upstream' and 'current' in that it pushes to the current branch's @{upstream} only when it is set to the same name as the current branch (e.g. your 'master' forks from the 'master' from the central repository). In a triangular workflow, this series tentatively defines it as the same as 'current', but we may have to tighten it to avoid surprises in some way. * jc/triangle-push-fixup: t/t5528-push-default: test pushdefault workflows t/t5528-push-default: generalize test_push_* push: change `simple` to accommodate triangular workflows config doc: rewrite push.default section t/t5528-push-default: remove redundant test_config lines
2013-07-08pull: change the description to "integrate" changesLibravatar John Keeping1-1/+1

2013-07-01git stash: avoid data loss when "git stash save" kills a directoryLibravatar Petr Baudis1-2/+10
"stash save" is about saving the local change to the working tree, but also about restoring the state of the last commit to the working tree. When a local change is to turn a non-directory to a directory, in order to restore the non-directory, everything in the directory needs to be removed. Which is fine when running "git stash save --include-untracked", but without that option, untracked, newly created files in the directory will have to be discarded, if the state you are restoring to has a non-directory at the same path as the directory. Introduce a safety valve to fail the operation in such case, using the "ls-files --killed" which was designed for this exact purpose. The "stash save" is stopped when untracked files need to be discarded because their leading path ceased to be a directory, and the user is required to pass --force to really have the data removed.

In rebase -i --autosquash, ignore all "fixup! " or "squash! " after the first. This supports the case when a git commit --fixup/--squash referred to an earlier fixup/squash instead of the original commit (whether intentionally, as when the user expressly meant to note that the commit fixes an earlier fixup; or inadvertently, as when the user meant to refer to the original commit with :/msg; or out of laziness, as when the user could remember how to refer to the fixup but not the original). In the todo list, the full commit message is preserved, in case it provides useful cues to the user. A test helper set_cat_todo_editor is introduced to check this.
