2012-04-23difftool: teach difftool to handle directory diffsLibravatar Tim Henigan1-0/+6
When 'difftool' is called to compare a range of commits that modify more than one file, it opens a separate instance of the diff tool for each file that changed. The new '--dir-diff' option copies all the modified files to a temporary location and runs a directory diff on them in a single instance of the diff tool.

We have had these options as harmless no-op for more than 3 years without officially deprecating them.

2012-03-04http.proxy: also mention https_proxy and all_proxyLibravatar Clemens Buchacher1-3/+4
The current wording of the http.proxy documentation suggests that http_proxy is somehow equivalent to http.proxy. However, while http.proxy (by the means of curl's CURLOPT_PROXY option) overrides the proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS protocols, the http_proxy environment variable is used only for HTTP. But since the docs mention only http_proxy, a user might expect it to apply to all HTTP-like protocols. Avoid any such misunderstanding by explicitly mentioning https_proxy and all_proxy as well. Also replace linkgit:curl[1] with a literal 'curl(1)', because the former gets translated to a dead link in the HTML pages.

2012-03-01diff --stat: add config option to limit graph widthLibravatar Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2-7/+13
Config option diff.statGraphWidth=<width> is equivalent to --stat-graph-width=<width>, except that the config option is ignored by format-patch. For the graph-width limiting to be usable, it should happen 'automatically' once configured, hence the config option. Nevertheless, graph width limiting only makes sense when used on a wide terminal, so it should not influence the output of format-patch, which adheres to the 80-column standard.

2012-03-01diff --stat: enable limiting of the graph partLibravatar Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek1-0/+2
A new option --stat-graph-width=<width> can be used to limit the width of the graph part even is more space is available. Up to <width> columns will be used for the graph. If commits changing a lot of lines are displayed in a wide terminal window (200 or more columns), and the +- graph uses the full width, the output can be hard to comfortably scan with a horizontal movement of human eyes. Messages wrapped to about 80 columns would be interspersed with very long +- lines. It makes sense to limit the width of the graph part to a fixed value (e.g. 70 columns), even if more columns are available.

2012-03-01diff --stat: use a maximum of 5/8 for the filename partLibravatar Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek1-6/+8
The way that available columns are divided between the filename part and the graph part is modified to use as many columns as necessary for the filenames and the rest for the graph. If there isn't enough columns to print both the filename and the graph, at least 5/8 of available space is devoted to filenames. On a standard 80 column terminal, or if not connected to a terminal and using the default of 80 columns, this gives the same partition as before. The effect of this change is visible in the patch to the test vector in t4052; with a small change with long filename, it stops truncating the name part too short, and also allocates a bit more columns to the graph for larger changes.

2012-02-28fsck: --no-dangling omits "dangling object" informationLibravatar Junio C Hamano3-10/+14
The default output from "fsck" is often overwhelmed by informational message on dangling objects, especially if you do not repack often, and a real error can easily be buried. Add "--no-dangling" option to omit them, and update the user manual to demonstrate its use. Based on a patch by Clemens Buchacher, but reverted the part to change the default to --no-dangling, which is unsuitable for the first patch. The usual three-step procedure to break the backward compatibility over time needs to happen on top of this, if we were to go in that direction. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
