2007-11-02make the pack index version configurableLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-0/+9
It is a good idea to use pack index version 2 all the time since it has proper protection against propagation of certain pack corruptions when repacking which is not possible with index version 1, as demonstrated in test t5302. Hence this config option. The default is still pack index version 1. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-10-30git-merge: document but discourage the historical syntaxLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+6
Historically "git merge" took its command line arguments in a rather strange order. Document the historical syntax, and also document clearly that it is not encouraged in new scripts. There is no reason to deprecate the historical syntax, as the current code can sanely tell which syntax the caller is using, and existing scripts by people do use the historical syntax.

2007-10-29core-tutorial: Catch up with current GitLibravatar Benoit Sigoure1-16/+10
No longer talk about Cogito since it's deprecated. Some scripts (such as git-reset or git-branch) have undergone builtinification so adjust the text to reflect this. Fix a typo in the description of git-show-branch (merges are indicated by a `-', not by a `.'). git-pull/git-push do not seem to use the dumb git-ssh-fetch/git-ssh-upload (the text was probably missing a word). Adjust a link that wasn't rendered properly because it was wrapped. Signed-off-by: Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-10-26Bisect run: "skip" current commit if script exit code is 125.Libravatar Christian Couder1-3/+7
This is incompatible with previous versions because an exit code of 125 used to mark current commit as "bad". But hopefully this exit code is not much used by test scripts or other programs. (126 and 127 are used by POSIX compliant shells to mean "found but not executable" and "command not found", respectively.)

2007-10-18mergetool: use path to mergetool in config var mergetool.<tool>.pathLibravatar Steffen Prohaska1-0/+6
This commit adds a mechanism to provide absolute paths to the external programs called by 'git mergetool'. A path can be specified in the configuation variable mergetool.<tool>.path. The configuration variable is similar to how we name branches and remotes. It is extensible if we need to specify more details about a tool. The mechanism is especially useful on Windows, where external programs are unlikely to be in PATH.

There's a number of tricky conflicts between master and this topic right now due to the rewrite of builtin-push. Junio must have handled these via rerere; I'd rather not deal with them again so I'm pre-merging master into the topic. Besides this topic somehow started to depend on the strbuf series that was in next, but is now in master. It no longer compiles on its own without the strbuf API. * master: (184 commits) Whip post 1.5.3.4 maintenance series into shape.
