2016-04-13Merge branch 'lt/pretty-expand-tabs'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+14
When "git log" shows the log message indented by 4-spaces, the remainder of a line after a HT does not align in the way the author originally intended. The command now expands tabs by default in such a case, and allows the users to override it with a new option, '--no-expand-tabs'. * lt/pretty-expand-tabs: pretty: test --expand-tabs pretty: allow tweaking tabwidth in --expand-tabs pretty: enable --expand-tabs by default for selected pretty formats pretty: expand tabs in indented logs to make things line up properly

"git format-patch --help" showed `-s` and `--no-patch` as if these are valid options to the command. We already hide `--patch` option from the documentation, because format-patch is about showing the diff, and the documentation now hides these options as well. * es/format-patch-doc-hide-no-patch: git-format-patch.txt: don't show -s as shorthand for multiple options

2016-04-08Merge branch 'jc/merge-refuse-new-root'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+13
"git merge" used to allow merging two branches that have no common base by default, which led to a brand new history of an existing project created and then get pulled by an unsuspecting maintainer, which allowed an unnecessary parallel history merged into the existing project. The command has been taught not to allow this by default, with an escape hatch "--allow-unrelated-histories" option to be used in a rare event that merges histories of two projects that started their lives independently. * jc/merge-refuse-new-root: merge: refuse to create too cool a merge by default

2016-04-04git-format-patch.txt: don't show -s as shorthand for multiple optionsLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-1/+1
git-format-patch recognizes -s as shorthand only for --signoff, however, its documentation shows -s as shorthand for both --signoff and --no-patch. Resolve this confusion by suppressing the bogus -s shorthand for --no-patch. While here, also avoid showing the --no-patch option in git-format-patch documentation since it doesn't make sense to ask to suppress the patch while at the same time explicitly asking to format the patch (which, after all, is the purpose of git-format-patch).

2016-03-30pretty: allow tweaking tabwidth in --expand-tabsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+6

2016-03-30pretty: enable --expand-tabs by default for selected pretty formatsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
"git log --pretty={medium,full,fuller}" and "git log" by default prepend 4 spaces to the log message, so it makes sense to enable the new "expand-tabs" facility by default for these formats. Add --no-expand-tabs option to override the new default. The change alone breaks a test in t4201 that runs "git shortlog" on the output from "git log", and expects that the output from "git log" does not do such a tab expansion. Adjust the test to explicitly disable expand-tabs with --no-expand-tabs. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-03-30pretty: expand tabs in indented logs to make things line up properlyLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+5
A commit log message sometimes tries to line things up using tabs, assuming fixed-width font with the standard 8-place tab settings. Viewing such a commit however does not work well in "git log", as we indent the lines by prefixing 4 spaces in front of them. This should all line up: Column 1 Column 2 -------- -------- A B ABCD EFGH SPACES Instead of Tabs Even with multi-byte UTF8 characters: Column 1 Column 2 -------- -------- Ä B åäö 100 A Møøse once bit my sister.. Tab-expand the lines in "git log --expand-tabs" output before prefixing 4 spaces. This is based on the patch by Linus Torvalds, but at this step, we require an explicit command line option to enable the behaviour. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-03-23merge: refuse to create too cool a merge by defaultLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+13
While it makes sense to allow merging unrelated histories of two projects that started independently into one, in the way "gitk" was merged to "git" itself aka "the coolest merge ever", such a merge is still an unusual event. Worse, if somebody creates an independent history by starting from a tarball of an established project and sends a pull request to the original project, "git merge" however happily creates such a merge without any sign of something unusual is happening. Teach "git merge" to refuse to create such a merge by default, unless the user passes a new "--allow-unrelated-histories" option to tell it that the user is aware that two unrelated projects are merged. Because such a "two project merge" is a rare event, a configuration option to always allow such a merge is not added. We could add the same option to "git pull" and have it passed through to underlying "git merge". I do not have a fundamental opposition against such a feature, but this commit does not do so and instead leaves it as low-hanging fruit for others, because such a "two project merge" would be done after fetching the other project into some location in the working tree of an existing project and making sure how well they fit together, it is sufficient to allow a local merge without such an option pass-through from "git pull" to "git merge". Many tests that are updated by this patch does the pass-through manually by turning: git pull something into its equivalent: git fetch something && git merge --allow-unrelated-histories FETCH_HEAD If somebody is inclined to add such an option, updated tests in this change need to be adjusted back to: git pull --allow-unrelated-histories something Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
