2008-04-20git-branch: add support for --merged and --no-mergedLibravatar Lars Hjemli1-1/+3
These options filter the output from git branch to only include branches whose tip is either merged or not merged into HEAD. The use-case for these options is when working with integration of branches from many remotes: `git branch --no-merged -a` will show a nice list of merge candidates while `git branch --merged -a` will show the progress of your integration work. Also, a plain `git branch --merged` is a quick way to find local branches which you might want to delete.

2008-04-18Document that WebDAV doesn't need git on the server, and works over SSLLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-12/+33
I managed to set up a Git repository on a preconfigured WebDAV server, and using HTTPS, without installing Git on it or changing the server configuration. This works through a proxy too. This patch reflects this (it previously stated that Git was _necessary_ on the server, which isn't true). Also give a few hints to troubleshoting.

2008-04-15Clarify documentation of git-cvsserver, particularly in relation to git-shellLibravatar Scott Collins1-11/+17
For SSH clients restricted to git-shell, CVS_SERVER does not have to be specified, because git-shell understands the default value of 'cvs' to mean git-cvsserver'. This makes it totally transparent to CVS users, but the instruction to set up CVS access for people with real shell access does not apply. Previous wording mentioning GIT_AUTHOR, GIT_COMMITTER variables was unclear that we really meant GIT_AUTHOR_(NAME|EMAIL), etc. Note that the .ssh/environment file is a good place to set these, and that the .bashrc is shell-specific. Add a bit of text to differentiate cvs -d (setting CVSROOT) from cvs co -d (setting the name of the newly checked out directory). Removed an extra 'Example:' string.

2008-04-12builtin-status: submodule summary supportLibravatar Ping Yin1-0/+5
This commit teaches 'git commit/status' show a new 'Modified submodules' section, which is an output from: git submodule summary --cached --for-status --summary-limit <limit> just before the 'Untracked files' section. The <limit> is given by the config variable status.submodulesummary to limit the submodule summary size. status.submodulesummary is a bool/int variable with value: - false or 0 by default to disable the summary, or - positive number to limit the summary size, or - true or negative number to unlimit the summary size. Also mention status.submodulesummary in the documentation. Signed-off-by: Ping Yin <pkufranky@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-04-11bisect: add "git bisect help" subcommand to get a long usage stringLibravatar Christian Couder1-0/+7
Users are not often aware of the fact that "git bisect -h" can give them a long usage description, as "git bisect" seems to accept only dashless subcommands like "start", "good", ... That's why this patch adds a "git bisect help" subcommand that just calls "git bisect -h". This new subcommand is also fully documented in the short usage string (that "git bisect" gives), in the long usage string and in the man page (that "git help bisect" gives).

The --root option from "git diff-tree" won't do nothing when is given to commands like git-whatchanged or git-log, because those always print the initial commit by default.

2008-04-10Fix documentation syntax of optional arguments in short options.Libravatar Carlos Rica1-2/+2
When an argument for an option is optional, like in -n from git-tag, puting a space between the option and the argument is interpreted as a missing argument for the option plus an isolated argument. Documentation now reflects the need to write the parameter following the option -n, as in "git tag -nARG", for instance.

The interactive mode does not work with files whose names contain characters that need C-quoting. `core.quotepath` configuration can be used to work this limitation around to some degree, but backslash, double-quote and control characters will still have problems.
