2015-10-30Merge branch 'jk/merge-file-exit-code'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
"git merge-file" tried to signal how many conflicts it found, which obviously would not work well when there are too many of them. * jk/merge-file-exit-code: merge-file: clamp exit code to maximum 127

2015-10-30Merge branch 'ar/clone-dissociate'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+7
"git clone --dissociate" used to require that "--reference" was used at the same time, but you can create a new repository that borrows objects from another without using "--reference", namely with "clone --local" from a repository that borrows objects from other repositories. * ar/clone-dissociate: clone: allow "--dissociate" without reference

2015-10-29merge-file: clamp exit code to maximum 127Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
Git-merge-file is documented to return one of three exit codes: - zero means the merge was successful - a negative number means an error occurred - a positive number indicates the number of conflicts Unfortunately, this all gets stuffed into an 8-bit return code. Which means that if you have 256 conflicts, this wraps to zero, and the merge appears to succeed (and commits a blob full of conflict-marker cruft!). This patch clamps the return value to a maximum of 127, which we should be able to safely represent everywhere. This also leaves 128-255 for other values. Shells (and some parts of git) will typically represent signal death as 128 plus the signal number. And negative values are typically coerced to an 8-bit unsigned value (so "return -1" ends up as 255). Technically negative returns have the same problem (e.g., "-256" wraps back to 0), but this is not a problem in practice, as the only negative value we use is "-1".

2015-10-26Merge branch 'jc/usage-stdin'Libravatar Junio C Hamano13-28/+51
The synopsis text and the usage string of subcommands that read list of things from the standard input are often shown as if they only take input from a file on a filesystem, which was misleading. * jc/usage-stdin: usage: do not insist that standard input must come from a file

2015-10-26user-manual: fix the description of fast-forwardLibravatar Xue Fuqiao1-5/+5
The "Fast-forward merges" section of user-manual.txt incorrectly says if the current branch is a descendant of the other, Git will perform a fast-forward merge, but it should the other way around. Signed-off-by: Xue Fuqiao <xfq.free@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-10-22Documentation: AsciiDoc spells em-dash as double-dashes, not tripleLibravatar Junio C Hamano6-6/+6
Again, we do not usually process release notes with AsciiDoc, but it is better to be consistent. This incidentally reveals breakages left by an ancient 5e00439f (Documentation: build html for all files in technical and howto, 2012-10-23). The index-format documentation was originally written to be read as straight text without formatting and when the commit forced everything in Documentation/ to go through AsciiDoc, it did not do any adjustment--hence the double-dashes will be seen in the resulting text that is rendered as preformatted fixed-width without converted into em-dashes.

2015-10-22clone: allow "--dissociate" without referenceLibravatar Alex Riesen1-2/+7
The "--reference" option is not the only way to provide a repository to borrow objects from. A repository that borrows from another repository can be cloned with "clone --local" and the resulting repository will borrow from the same repository, which the user may want to "--dissociate" from.

2015-10-22Documentation: match underline with the textLibravatar Junio C Hamano5-5/+5
Even though AsciiDoc is more lenient when deciding if an underline is for the contents on the previous line to find section headers, we should match the length of them for other formatters to help them. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Asciidoctor is stricter than AsciiDoc when deciding if underlining is a section title or the start of preformatted text.

2015-10-16usage: do not insist that standard input must come from a fileLibravatar Junio C Hamano13-28/+51
The synopsys text and the usage string of subcommands that read list of things from the standard input are often shown like this: git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> This is problematic in a number of ways: * The way to use these commands is more often to feed them the output from another command, not feed them from a file. * Manual pages outside Git, commands that operate on the data read from the standard input, e.g "sort", "grep", "sed", etc., are not described with such a "< redirection-from-file" in their synopsys text. Our doing so introduces inconsistency. * We do not insist on where the output should go, by saying git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> > <output> * As it is our convention to enclose placeholders inside <braket>, the redirection operator followed by a placeholder filename becomes very hard to read, both in the documentation and in the help text. Let's clean them all up, after making sure that the documentation clearly describes the modes that take information from the standard input and what kind of things are expected on the input.
