2010-11-24docs: default to more modern toolsetLibravatar Jeff King2-15/+12
When the ASCIIDOC8 and ASCIIDOC_NO_ROFF knobs were built, many people were still on asciidoc 7 and using older versions of docbook-xsl. These days, even the almost 2-year-old Debian stable needs these knobs turned. So let's turn them by default. The new knobs ASCIIDOC7 and ASCIIDOC_ROFF can be used to get the old behavior if people are on older systems.

* maint: Documentation: document show -s dir.c: fix EXC_FLAG_MUSTBEDIR match in sparse checkout
2010-11-09Documentation: document show -sLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-0/+7
Git's diff machinery has supported a -s (silence diff output) option as far back as v0.99~900 (Silent flag for show-diff, 2005-04-13), but the option is only advertised in an odd corner of the git diff-tree manual. The main use is to retrieve basic metadata about a commit: git show -s rev Explain this in the 'git log' manual and provide an example in the 'git show' examples section. This is kind of a cop-out, since it would be more useful to explain it in the 'git show' manual proper, which says: The command takes options applicable to the git diff-tree command to control how the changes the commit introduces are shown. This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. Fixing that is a larger task for another day.

2010-10-13fast-import: Allow filemodify to set the rootLibravatar David Barr1-0/+3
v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id, 2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set. Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the empty path, "". For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can involve a significant amount of overhead. (23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6) Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it. This patch changes that, by allowing M 040000 <tree id> "" as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without any need to parse it. For example, M 040000 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 "" is a synonym for the deleteall command and the fast-import equivalent of git read-tree 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 Signed-off-by: David Barr <david.barr@cordelta.com> Commit-message-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Acked-by: Sverre Rabbelier <srabbelier@gmail.com> Tested-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
