2007-04-06Documentation: tighten dependency for git.{html,txt}Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-4/+17
Every time _any_ documentation page changed, cmds-*.txt files were regenerated, which caused git.{html,txt} to be remade. Try not to update cmds-*.txt files if their new contents match the old ones. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-04-05Fix lost-found to show commits only referenced by reflogsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+7
Prior to 1.5.0 the git-lost-found utility was useful to locate commits that were not referenced by any ref. These were often amends, or resets, or tips of branches that had been deleted. Being able to locate a 'lost' commit and recover it by creating a new branch was a useful feature in those days. Unfortunately 1.5.0 added the reflogs to the reachability analysis performed by git-fsck, which means that most commits users would consider to be lost are still reachable through a reflog. So most (or all!) commits are reachable, and nothing gets output from git-lost-found. Now git-fsck can be told to ignore reflogs during its reachability analysis, making git-lost-found useful again to locate commits that are no longer referenced by a ref itself, but may still be referenced by a reflog.

2007-04-03git-read-tree --index-output=<file>Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-9/+13
This corrects the interface mistake of the previous one, and gives a command line parameter to the only plumbing command that currently needs it: "git-read-tree". We can add the calls to set_alternate_index_output() to other plumbing commands that update the index if/when needed. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-04-03_GIT_INDEX_OUTPUT: allow plumbing to output to an alternative index file.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
When defined, this allows plumbing commands that update the index (add, apply, checkout-index, merge-recursive, mv, read-tree, rm, update-index, and write-tree) to write their resulting index to an alternative index file while holding a lock to the original index file. With this, git-commit that jumps the index does not have to make an extra copy of the index file, and more importantly, it can do the update while holding the lock on the index. However, I think the interface to let an environment variable specify the output is a mistake, as shown in the documentation. If a curious user has the environment variable set to something other than the file GIT_INDEX_FILE points at, almost everything will break. This should instead be a command line parameter to tell these plumbing commands to write the result in the named file, to prevent stupid mistakes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-03-29Documentation/git-rev-parse.txt: fix example in SPECIFYING RANGES.Libravatar Gerrit Pape1-8/+8
Please see http://bugs.debian.org/404795: In git-rev-parse(1), there is an example commit tree, which is used twice. The explanation for this tree is very clear: B and C are commit *parents* to A. However, when the tree is reused as an example in the SPECIFYING RANGES, the manpage author screws up and uses A as a commit *parent* to B and C! I.e., he inverts the tree. And the fact that for this example you need to read the tree backwards is not explained anywhere (and it would be confusing even if it was).
