Originally "--no-index" mode triggered for untracked files within the tracked tree, but with v1.5.6-rc1~41 (Merge branch 'jc/diff-no-no-index, 2008-05-26) the command was fixed to only implicitly trigger when paths outside the tracked tree are mentioned.

Point in many directions in the hope of helping the reader find what is needed more quickly. This commit also removes the summary attached to the SEE ALSO entry for difftool, to avoid making the SEE ALSO list too verbose. If the reader wants a summary of the commands referred to, she can always look to the top of the named pages or to the table of contents on the main git(1) page.

2010-10-13fast-import: Allow filemodify to set the rootLibravatar David Barr1-0/+3
v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id, 2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set. Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the empty path, "". For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can involve a significant amount of overhead. (23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6) Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it. This patch changes that, by allowing M 040000 <tree id> "" as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without any need to parse it. For example, M 040000 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 "" is a synonym for the deleteall command and the fast-import equivalent of git read-tree 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 Signed-off-by: David Barr <david.barr@cordelta.com> Commit-message-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Acked-by: Sverre Rabbelier <srabbelier@gmail.com> Tested-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-09-27repack: add -F flag to let user choose between --no-reuse-delta/objectLibravatar Jan Krüger1-1/+5
In 479b56ba ('make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object"'), git repack -f was changed to include recompressing all objects on the zlib level on the assumption that if the user wants to spend that much time already, some more time won't hurt (and recompressing is useful if the user changed the zlib compression level). However, "some more time" can be quite long with very big repositories, so some users are going to appreciate being able to choose. If we are going to give them the choice, --no-reuse-object will probably be interesting a lot less frequently than --no-reuse-delta. Hence, this reverts -f to the old behaviour (--no-reuse-delta) and adds a new -F option that replaces the current -f. Measurements taken using this patch on a current clone of git.git indicate a 17% decrease in time being made available to users: git repack -Adf 34.84s user 0.56s system 145% cpu 24.388 total git repack -AdF 38.79s user 0.56s system 133% cpu 29.394 total Signed-off-by: Jan Krüger <jk@jk.gs> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
