2007-06-12Teach diff to imply --find-copies-harder upon -C -CLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+4
Earlier, a second "-C" on the command line had no effect. But "--find-copies-harder" is so long to type, let's make doubled -C enable that option. It is in line with how "git blame" handles such doubled options to mean "work harder".

2007-06-10tutorial: use "project history" instead of "changelog" in headerLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-2/+2
The word "changelog" seems a little too much like jargon to me, and beginners must understand section headers so they know where to look for help. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

2007-06-09git-blame -w: ignore whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+6
When refactoring code to split one iteration of a too deeply nested loop into a separate function, it inevitably makes the indentation levels shallower (that's the sole point of such a refactoring). With "git blame -w", you can ignore such re-indentation and pass blame for such moved lines to the parent. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-06-09Make command description imperative statement, not third-person present.Libravatar william pursell3-3/+3
In several of the text messages, the tense of the verb is inconsistent. For example, "Add" vs "Creates". It is customary to use imperative for command description. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano125-544/+423
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

2007-06-06git-submodule: clone during update, not during initLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-8/+8
This teaches 'git-submodule init' to register submodule paths and urls in .git/config instead of actually cloning them. The cloning is now handled as part of 'git-submodule update'. With this change it is possible to specify preferred/alternate urls for the submodules in .git/config before the submodules are cloned.

2007-06-02Teach git-tag about showing tag annotations.Libravatar Matthijs Melchior1-4/+9
The <pattern> for -l is now a shell pattern, not a list of grep parameters. Option -l may be repeated with another <pattern>. The new -n [<num>] option specifies how many lines from the annotation are to be printed. Not specifieing -n or -n 0 will just produce the tag names Just -n or -n 1 will show the first line of the annotation on the tag line. Other valuse for -n will show that number of lines from the annotation. The exit code used to indicate if any tag was found. This is changed due to a different implementation. A good way to test a tag for existence is to use: git show-ref --quiet --verify refs/tags/$TAGNAME Signed-off-by: Matthijs Melchior <mmelchior@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-06-02Create a new manpage for the gitignore format, and reference it elsewhereLibravatar Josh Triplett8-101/+145
Only git-ls-files(1) describes the gitignore format in detail, and it does so with reference to git-ls-files options. Most users don't use the plumbing command git-ls-files directly, and shouldn't have to look in its manpage for information on the gitignore format. Create a new manpage gitignore(5) (Documentation/gitignore.txt), and factor out the gitignore documentation into that file, changing it to refer to .gitignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude as used by porcelain commands. Reference gitignore(5) from other relevant manpages and documentation. Remove now-redundant information on exclude patterns from git-ls-files(1), leaving only information on how git-ls-files options specify exclude patterns and what precedence they have.

2007-05-29git-pack-objects: cache small deltas between big objectsLibravatar Martin Koegler1-0/+5
Creating deltas between big blobs is a CPU and memory intensive task. In the writing phase, all (not reused) deltas are redone. This patch adds support for caching deltas from the deltifing phase, so that that the writing phase is faster. The caching is limited to small deltas to avoid increasing memory usage very much. The implemented limit is (memory needed to create the delta)/1024. Signed-off-by: Martin Koegler <mkoegler@auto.tuwien.ac.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-05-29cvsserver: Note that CVS_SERVER can also be specified as method variableLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-1/+11
Reasonably new versions of the cvs CLI client allow one to specifiy CVS_SERVER as a method variable directly in CVSROOT. This is way more convinient than using an environment variable since it gets saved in CVS/Root. Since I only discovered this by accident I guess there might be others out there that learnt CVS on the 1.11 series (or even earlier) and profit from such a note about cvs improvements in the last couple years.
