2006-07-03Make zlib compression level configurable, and change default.Libravatar Joachim B Haga1-0/+6
With the change in default, "git add ." on kernel dir is about twice as fast as before, with only minimal (0.5%) change in object size. The speed difference is even more noticeable when committing large files, which is now up to 8 times faster. The configurability is through setting core.compression = [-1..9] which maps to the zlib constants; -1 is the default, 0 is no compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.

2006-07-01Add git-instaweb, instantly browse the working repo with gitwebLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+84
I got tired of having to configure gitweb for every repository I work on. I sometimes prefer gitweb to standard GUIs like gitk or gitview; so this lets me automatically configure gitweb to browse my working repository and also opens my browser to it. Updates from the original patch: Added Apache/mod_perl2 compatibility if Dennis Stosberg's gitweb has been applied, too: <20060621130708.Gcbc6e5c@leonov.stosberg.net> General cleanups in shell code usage.

2006-07-01Add '...' operator for revisionsLibravatar Rene Scharfe1-0/+14
'A...B' is a shortcut for 'A B --not $(git-merge-base --all A B)'. This XOR-like operation is called symmetric difference in set theory. The symbol '...' has been chosen because it's rather similar to the existing '..' operator and the somewhat more natural caret ('^') is already taken.

2006-06-25rebase: allow --skip to work with --mergeLibravatar Eric Wong1-1/+0
Now that we control the merge base selection, we won't be forced into rolling things in that we wanted to skip beforehand. Also, add a test to ensure this all works as intended. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-06-24git-merge --squashLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
Some people tend to do many little commits on a topic branch, recording all the trials and errors, and when the topic is reasonably cooked well, would want to record the net effect of the series as one commit on top of the mainline, removing the cruft from the history. The topic is then abandoned or forked off again from that point at the mainline. The barebone porcelainish that comes with core git tools does not officially support such operation, but you can fake it by using "git pull --no-merge" when such a topic branch is not a strict superset of the mainline, like this: git checkout mainline git pull --no-commit . that-topic-branch : fix conflicts if any rm -f .git/MERGE_HEAD git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message' git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged This however does not work when the topic branch is a fast forward of the mainline, because normal "git pull" will never create a merge commit in such a case, and there is nothing special --no-commit could do to begin with. This patch introduces a new option, --squash, to support such a workflow officially in both fast-forward case and true merge case. The user-level operation would be the same in both cases: git checkout mainline git pull --squash . that-topic-branch : fix conflicts if any -- naturally, there would be : no conflict if fast forward. git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message' git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged When the current branch is already up-to-date with respect to the other branch, there truly is nothing to do, so the new option does not have any effect. This was brought up in #git IRC channel recently. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-06-22Check and document the options to prevent mistakes.Libravatar Eric W. Biederman1-0/+9
When multiple recipients are given to git-send-email on the same --cc line the code does not properly handle it. Full and proper parsing of the email addresses so I can detect which commas mean a new email address is more than I care to implement. In particular this email address: "bibo,mao" <bibo.mao@intel.com> must not be treated as two email addresses. So this patch simply treats all commas in recipient lists as an error and fails if one is given. At the same time it documents that git-send-email wants multiple instances of --cc specified on the command line if you want to cc multiple recipients. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
