2015-01-12doc: core.ignoreStat update, and clarify the --assume-unchanged effectLibravatar Philip Oakley1-9/+13
The assume-unchanged bit, and consequently core.ignoreStat, can be misunderstood. Be assertive about the expectation that file changes should notified to Git. Overhaul the general wording thus: 1. direct description of what is ignored given first. 2. example instruction of the user manual action required. 3. use sideways indirection for assume-unchanged and update-index references. 4. add a 'normally' to give leeway for the change detection.

2014-12-05Merge branch 'jh/empty-notes'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+8
A request to store an empty note via "git notes" meant to remove note from the object but with --allow-empty we will store a (surprise!) note that is empty. In the longer run, we might want to deprecate the somewhat unintuitive "emptying means deletion" behaviour. * jh/empty-notes: t3301: modernize style notes: empty notes should be shown by 'git log' builtin/notes: add --allow-empty, to allow storing empty notes builtin/notes: split create_note() to clarify add vs. remove logic builtin/notes: simplify early exit code in add() builtin/notes: refactor note file path into struct note_data builtin/notes: improve naming t3301: verify that 'git notes' removes empty notes by default builtin/notes: fix premature failure when trying to add the empty blob
2014-12-05Merge branch 'tq/git-ssh-command'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-12/+14
Allow passing extra set of arguments when ssh is invoked to create an encrypted & authenticated connection by introducing a new environment variable GIT_SSH_COMMAND, whose contents is interpreted by shells. This is not possible with existing GIT_SSH mechanism whose invocation bypasses shells, which was designed more to match what other programs with similar variables did, not necessarily to be more useful. * tq/git-ssh-command: git_connect: set ssh shell command in GIT_SSH_COMMAND

2014-11-12builtin/notes: add --allow-empty, to allow storing empty notesLibravatar Johan Herland1-4/+8
Although the "git notes" man page advertises that we support binary-safe notes addition (using the -C option), we currently do not support adding the empty note (i.e. using the empty blob to annotate an object). Instead, an empty note is always treated as an intent to remove the note altogether. Introduce the --allow-empty option to the add/append/edit subcommands, to explicitly allow an empty note to be stored into the notes tree. Also update the documentation, and add test cases for the new option. Reported-by: James H. Fisher <jhf@trifork.com> Improved-by: Kyle J.

2014-11-10git_connect: set ssh shell command in GIT_SSH_COMMANDLibravatar Thomas Quinot1-12/+14
It may be impractical to install a wrapper script for GIT_SSH when additional parameters need to be passed. Provide an alternative way of specifying a shell command to be run, including command line arguments, by means of the GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable, which behaves like GIT_SSH but is passed to the shell. The special circuitry to modify parameters in the case of using PuTTY's plink/tortoiseplink is activated only when using GIT_SSH; in the case of using GIT_SSH_COMMAND, it is deliberately left up to the user to make any required parameters adaptation before calling the underlying ssh implementation.
