2007-12-23shortlog manpage documentation: work around asciidoc markup issuesLibravatar Gustaf Hendeby1-9/+10
We wanted to have a list in which one (and the sole, as it happen to be) item in it is ".mailmap", but do not seem to be able to convince AsciiDoc to format it correctly for manpages. Reformat it into a paragraph that describes the said file to work around the issue.

2007-12-22Allow selection of different cleanup modes for commit messagesLibravatar Alex Riesen1-1/+11
Although we traditionally stripped away excess blank lines, trailing whitespaces and lines that begin with "#" from the commit log message, sometimes the message just has to be the way user wants it. For instance, a commit message template can contain lines that begin with "#", the message must be kept as close to its original source as possible if you are converting from a foreign SCM, or maybe the message has a shell script including its comments for future reference. The cleanup modes are default, verbatim, whitespace and strip. The default mode depends on if the message is being edited and will either strip whitespace and comments (if editor active) or just strip the whitespace (for where the message is given explicitely).

2007-12-20everyday: replace 'prune' and 'repack' with 'gc'Libravatar Miklos Vajna1-13/+6
In everyday tasks, "repack -a -d -f" won't be used, so there is not much point mentioning "repack". By showing the --prune option to "gc", we can do without mentioning "git prune", too. Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-12-20Teach diff machinery to display other prefixes than "a/" and "b/"Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+9
With the new options "--src-prefix=<prefix>", "--dst-prefix=<prefix>" and "--no-prefix", you can now control the path prefixes of the diff machinery. These used to by hardwired to "a/" for the source prefix and "b/" for the destination prefix. Initial patch by Pascal Obry. Sane option names suggested by Linus.

2007-12-16rename git-browse--help to git-help--browseLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
The convention for helper scripts has been git-$TOOL--$HELPER. Since this is a "browse" helper for the "help" tool, git-help--browse is a more sensible name. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-12-14git-help: add "help.format" config variable.Libravatar Christian Couder1-2/+35
This config variable makes it possible to choose the default format used to display help. This format will be used only if no option like -a|--all|-i|--info|-m|--man|-w|--web is passed to "git-help". The following values are possible for this variable: - "man" --> "man" program is used - "info" --> "info" program is used - "web" --> "git-browse-help" is used By default we still show help using "man". This patch also adds -m|--man command line option to use "man" to allow overriding the "help.format" configuration variable. Note that this patch also revert some recent changes in "git-browse-help" because they prevented to look for config variables in the global configuration file.

"git diff" has a --check option that can be used to check for whitespace problems but it only reported by printing warnings to the console.

2007-12-12git-diff --numstat -z: make it machine readableLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+61
The "-z" format is all about machine parsability, but showing renamed paths as "common/{a => b}/suffix" makes it impossible. The scripts would never have successfully parsed "--numstat -z -M" in the old format. This fixes the output format in a (hopefully minimally) backward incompatible way. * The output without -z is not changed. This has given a good way for humans to view added and deleted lines separately, and showing the path in combined, shorter way would preserve readability. * The output with -z is unchanged for paths that do not involve renames. Existing scripts that do not pass -M/-C are not affected at all. * The output with -z for a renamed path is shown in a format that can easily be distinguished from an unrenamed path. This is based on Jakub Narebski's patch. Bugs and documentation typos are mine. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-12-09git-help: add -w|--web option to display html man page in a browser.Libravatar Christian Couder1-0/+4
Now when using "git help -w cmd", we will try to show the HTML man page "git-cmd.html" in your prefered web browser. To do that "help.c" code will call a new shell script "git-browse-help". This currently works only if the HTML versions of the man page have been installed in $(htmldir) (typically "/usr/share/doc/git-doc"), so new target to do that is added to "Documentation/Makefile". The browser to use can be configured using the "web.browser" config variable. We try to open a new tab in an existing web browser, if possible. The code in "git-browse-help" is heavily stolen from "git-mergetool" by Theodore Y. Ts'o. Thanks.
