2015-03-06commit/status: show the index-worktree diff with -v -vLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+4
git commit and git status in long format show the diff between HEAD and the index when given -v. This allows previewing a commit to be made. They also list tracked files with unstaged changes, but without a diff. Introduce '-v -v' which shows the diff between the index and the worktree in addition to the HEAD index diff. This allows a review of unstaged changes which might be missing from the commit. In the case of '-v -v', additonal header lines Changes to be committed: and Changes not staged for commit: are inserted before the diffs, which are equal to those in the status part; the latter preceded by 50*"-" to make it stick out more.

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.

Earlier we made "rev-list --object-edge" more aggressively list the objects at the edge commits, in order to reduce number of objects fetched into a shallow repository, but the change affected cases other than "fetching into a shallow repository" and made it unusably slow (e.g. fetching into a normal repository should not have to suffer the overhead from extra processing). Limit it to a more specific case by introducing --objects-edge-aggressive, a new option to rev-list. * bc/fetch-thin-less-aggressive-in-normal-repository: pack-objects: use --objects-edge-aggressive for shallow repos rev-list: add an option to mark fewer edges as uninteresting Documentation: add missing article in rev-list-options.txt

2014-12-29pack-objects: use --objects-edge-aggressive for shallow reposLibravatar brian m. carlson2-2/+8
When fetching into or pushing from a shallow repository, we want to aggressively mark edges as uninteresting, since this decreases the pack size. However, aggressively marking edges can negatively affect performance on large non-shallow repositories with lots of refs. Teach pack-objects a --shallow option to indicate that we're pushing from or fetching into a shallow repository. Use --objects-edge-aggressive only for shallow repositories and otherwise use --objects-edge, which performs better in the general case. Update the callers to pass the --shallow option when they are dealing with a shallow repository.

2014-12-29rev-list: add an option to mark fewer edges as uninterestingLibravatar brian m. carlson2-1/+6
In commit fbd4a70 (list-objects: mark more commits as edges in mark_edges_uninteresting - 2013-08-16), we marked an increasing number of edges uninteresting. This change, and the subsequent change to make this conditional on --objects-edge, are used by --thin to make much smaller packs for shallow clones. Unfortunately, they cause a significant performance regression when pushing non-shallow clones with lots of refs (23.322 seconds vs. 4.785 seconds with 22400 refs). Add an option to git rev-list, --objects-edge-aggressive, that preserves this more aggressive behavior, while leaving --objects-edge to provide more performant behavior. Preserve the current behavior for the moment by using the aggressive option. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Credential helpers are asked in turn until one of them give positive response, which is cumbersome to turn off when you need to run Git in an automated setting. The credential helper interface learned to allow a helper to say "stop, don't ask other helpers."

"git push" into a repository with a working tree normally refuses to modify the branch that is checked out.
