2008-04-02Describe the bug in handling filenames with funny characters in 'git add -i'Libravatar Teemu Likonen1-0/+6
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.

2008-03-30Allow git-cvsserver database table name prefix to be specified.Libravatar Josh Elsasser2-0/+12
Adds a gitcvs.dbtablenameprefix config variable, the contents of which are prepended to any database tables names used by git-cvsserver. The same substutions as gitcvs.dbname and gitcvs.dbuser are supported, and any non-alphabetic characters are replaced with underscores. A typo found in contrib/completion/git-completion.bash is also fixed. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-03-22fast-import: Document the effect of "merge" with no "from" in a commitLibravatar Eyvind Bernhardsen1-3/+8
The fast-import documentation currently does not document the behaviour of "merge" when there is no "from" in a commit. This patch adds a description of what happens: the commit is created with a parent, but no files. This behaviour is equivalent to "from" followed by "filedeleteall".

2008-03-12gc: call "prune --expire 2.weeks.ago" by defaultLibravatar Johannes Schindelin2-12/+9
The only reason we did not call "prune" in git-gc was that it is an inherently dangerous operation: if there is a commit going on, you will prune loose objects that were just created, and are, in fact, needed by the commit object just about to be created. Since it is dangerous, we told users so. That led to many users not even daring to run it when it was actually safe. Besides, they are users, and should not have to remember such details as when to call git-gc with --prune, or to call git-prune directly. Of course, the consequence was that "git gc --auto" gets triggered much more often than we would like, since unreferenced loose objects (such as left-overs from a rebase or a reset --hard) were never pruned. Alas, git-prune recently learnt the option --expire <minimum-age>, which makes it a much safer operation. This allows us to call prune from git-gc, with a grace period of 2 weeks for the unreferenced loose objects (this value was determined in a discussion on the git list as a safe one). If you want to override this grace period, just set the config variable gc.pruneExpire to a different value; an example would be [gc] pruneExpire = 6.months.ago or even "never", if you feel really paranoid. Note that this new behaviour makes "--prune" be a no-op. While adding a test to t5304-prune.sh (since it really tests the implicit call to "prune"), also the original test for "prune --expire" was moved there from t1410-reflog.sh, where it did not belong.
