2008-11-26config.txt: alphabetize configuration sectionsLibravatar Matt McCutchen1-48/+48
I figured the sections might as well be in some order, so I chose alphabetical but with "core" at the beginning. This should help people add new variables in the right places. Signed-off-by: Matt McCutchen <matt@mattmccutchen.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-11-14Documentation: git-svn: fix example for centralized SVN cloneLibravatar Jan Krüger1-0/+2
The example that tells users how to centralize the effort of the initial git svn clone operation doesn't work properly. It uses rebase but that only works if HEAD exists. This adds one extra command to create a somewhat sensible HEAD that should work in all cases.

2008-11-14repack: only unpack-unreachable if we are deleting redundant packsLibravatar Brandon Casey1-6/+5
The -A option calls pack-objects with the --unpack-unreachable option so that the unreachable objects in local packs are left in the local object store loose. But if the -d option to repack was _not_ used, then these unpacked loose objects are redundant and unnecessary. Update tests in t7701.

2008-11-11git push: Interpret $GIT_DIR/branches in a Cogito compatible wayLibravatar Martin Koegler1-5/+14
Current git versions ignore everything after # (called <head> in the following) when pushing. Older versions (before cf818348f1ab57), interpret #<head> as part of the URL, which make git bail out. As branches origin from Cogito, it is the best to correct this by using the behaviour of cg-push, that is to push HEAD to remote refs/heads/<head>.

2008-11-09receive-pack: detect push to current branch of non-bare repoLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+9
Pushing into the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository can be dangerous; the HEAD then loses sync with the index and working tree, and it looks in the receiving repo as if the pushed changes have been reverted in the index (since they were never there in the first place). This patch adds a safety valve that checks for this condition and either generates a warning or denies the update. We trigger the check only on a non-bare repository, since a bare repo does not have a working tree (and in fact, pushing to the HEAD branch is a common workflow for publishing repositories). The behavior is configurable via receive.denyCurrentBranch, defaulting to "warn" so as not to break existing setups (though it may, after a deprecation period, switch to "refuse" by default). For users who know what they are doing and want to silence the warning (e.g., because they have a post-receive hook that reconciles the HEAD and working tree), they can turn off the warning by setting it to false or "ignore".
