2013-10-14howto/revert-a-faulty-merge: fix unescaped '^'sLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-4/+4
Several uses of the '^' operator are being interpreted by asciidoc as requests to show the following text as a superscript. In order to fix this problem, use backticks (`) to quote the text of the affected git command invocations.

2013-10-14howto/setup-git-server-over-http: fix unescaped '^'sLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-2/+2
The text contains two 'grep' invocations which include the 'start of line' regular expression character '^'. Asciidoc mis-interprets this use of '^' as a superscript request. In order to fix this formatting problem, use backticks (`) to quote the text of the affected 'grep' command invocations.

As we had to revert two topics at the last minute, let's have another (hopefully short) round of rc to make sure the final release will be sound. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-08-14Revert "Add new @ shortcut for HEAD"Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-5/+0
This reverts commit cdfd94837b27c220f70f032b596ea993d195488f, as it does not just apply to "@" (and forms with modifiers like @{u} applied to it), but also affects e.g. "refs/heads/@/foo", which it shouldn't. The basic idea of giving a short-hand might be good, and the topic can be retried later, but let's revert to avoid affecting existing use cases for now for the upcoming release.
2013-08-14Revert "git stash: avoid data loss when "git stash save" kills a directory"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+2
This reverts commit a73653130edd6a8977106d45a8092c09040f9132, as it has been reported that "ls-files --killed" is too time-consuming in a deep directory with too many untracked crufts (e.g. $HOME/.git tracking only a few files). We'd need to revisit it later but "ls-files --killed" needs to be optimized before it happens.

$ git log --encoding fatal: Option '--encoding' requires a value $ git rev-list --encoding fatal: Option '--encoding' requires a value The argument to --encoding has always been mandatory. Unfortunately manpages like git-rev-list(1), git-log(1), and git-show(1) have described the option's syntax as "--encoding[=<encoding>]" since it was first documented. Clarify by removing the extra brackets. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-08-02Merge branch 'rj/cygwin-clarify-use-of-cheating-lstat'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-11/+0
Cygwin port added a "not quite correct but a lot faster and good enough for many lstat() calls that are only used to see if the working tree entity matches the index entry" lstat() emulation some time ago, and it started biting us in places. This removes it and uses the standard lstat() that comes with Cygwin. Recent topic that uses lstat on packed-refs file is broken when this cheating lstat is used, and this is a simplest fix that is also the cleanest direction to go in the long run. * rj/cygwin-clarify-use-of-cheating-lstat: cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation

2013-08-02Revert "cat-file: split --batch input lines on whitespace"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+2
This reverts commit c334b87b30c1464a1ab563fe1fb8de5eaf0e5bac; the update assumed that people only used the command to read from "rev-list --objects" output, whose lines begin with a 40-hex object name followed by a whitespace, but it turns out that scripts feed random extended SHA-1 expressions (e.g. "HEAD:$pathname") in which a whitespace has to be kept.

2013-07-26config doc: quote paths, fixing tilde-interpretationLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-12/+14
The --global section of git-config(1) currently reads like: For writing options: write to global /.gitconfig file rather than the ^ start tilde repository .git/config, write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file if this file exists and the/.gitconfig file doesn’t. ^ end tilde Instead of tilde (~) being interpreted literally, asciidoc subscripts the text between the two tildes.

The "--head" option to "git show-ref" was only to add "HEAD" to the list of candidate refs to be filtered by the usual rules (e.g. "--heads" that only show refs under refs/heads).
