2013-10-22Reword repack documentation to no longer state it's a scriptLibravatar Stefan Beller1-1/+1
This updates the documentation regarding the changes introduced by a1bbc6c01 (2013-09-15, repack: rewrite the shell script in C). Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <stefanbeller@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-08-19Git 1.8.4-rc4Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+0
As we had to revert two topics at the last minute, let's have another (hopefully short) round of rc to make sure the final release will be sound. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-08-14Revert "Add new @ shortcut for HEAD"Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-5/+0
This reverts commit cdfd94837b27c220f70f032b596ea993d195488f, as it does not just apply to "@" (and forms with modifiers like @{u} applied to it), but also affects e.g. "refs/heads/@/foo", which it shouldn't. The basic idea of giving a short-hand might be good, and the topic can be retried later, but let's revert to avoid affecting existing use cases for now for the upcoming release.
2013-08-14Revert "git stash: avoid data loss when "git stash save" kills a directory"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+2
This reverts commit a73653130edd6a8977106d45a8092c09040f9132, as it has been reported that "ls-files --killed" is too time-consuming in a deep directory with too many untracked crufts (e.g. $HOME/.git tracking only a few files). We'd need to revisit it later but "ls-files --killed" needs to be optimized before it happens.

2013-08-05log doc: the argument to --encoding is not optionalLibravatar Jonathan Nieder2-2/+2
$ git log --encoding fatal: Option '--encoding' requires a value $ git rev-list --encoding fatal: Option '--encoding' requires a value The argument to --encoding has always been mandatory. Unfortunately manpages like git-rev-list(1), git-log(1), and git-show(1) have described the option's syntax as "--encoding[=<encoding>]" since it was first documented. Clarify by removing the extra brackets. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-08-02Merge branch 'rj/cygwin-clarify-use-of-cheating-lstat'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-11/+0
Cygwin port added a "not quite correct but a lot faster and good enough for many lstat() calls that are only used to see if the working tree entity matches the index entry" lstat() emulation some time ago, and it started biting us in places. This removes it and uses the standard lstat() that comes with Cygwin. Recent topic that uses lstat on packed-refs file is broken when this cheating lstat is used, and this is a simplest fix that is also the cleanest direction to go in the long run. * rj/cygwin-clarify-use-of-cheating-lstat: cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation

2013-08-02Revert "cat-file: split --batch input lines on whitespace"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+2
This reverts commit c334b87b30c1464a1ab563fe1fb8de5eaf0e5bac; the update assumed that people only used the command to read from "rev-list --objects" output, whose lines begin with a 40-hex object name followed by a whitespace, but it turns out that scripts feed random extended SHA-1 expressions (e.g. "HEAD:$pathname") in which a whitespace has to be kept.

2013-07-26config doc: quote paths, fixing tilde-interpretationLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-12/+14
The --global section of git-config(1) currently reads like: For writing options: write to global /.gitconfig file rather than the ^ start tilde repository .git/config, write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file if this file exists and the/.gitconfig file doesn’t. ^ end tilde Instead of tilde (~) being interpreted literally, asciidoc subscripts the text between the two tildes. To fix this problem, use backticks (`) to quote all the paths in the file uniformly, just like config.txt does.

2013-07-24docs: note that receive-pack knows side-band-64k capabilityLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
The protocol-capabilities documentation notes that any capabilities not explicitly mentioned for receive-pack work only for upload-pack. Receive-pack has advertised and understood side-band-64k since 38a81b4 (receive-pack: Wrap status reports inside side-band-64k, 2010-02-05), but we do not mention it explicitly. Let's do so.

2013-07-22Merge branch 'db/show-ref-head'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+6
The "--head" option to "git show-ref" was only to add "HEAD" to the list of candidate refs to be filtered by the usual rules (e.g. "--heads" that only show refs under refs/heads). Change the meaning of the option to always show "HEAD" regardless of what filtering will be applied to any other ref (this is a backward incompatible change, so I may need to add an entry to the Release Notes). * db/show-ref-head: show-ref: make --head always show the HEAD ref
