2006-08-27Merge branch 'jc/apply'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
* jc/apply: git-apply --reject: finishing touches. apply --reject: count hunks starting from 1, not 0 git-apply --verbose git-apply --reject: send rejects to .rej files. git-apply --reject apply --reverse: tie it all together. diff.c: make binary patch reversible. builtin-apply --reverse: two bugfixes.
2006-08-27git-apply --reject: finishing touches.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
After a failed "git am" attempt: git apply --reject --verbose .dotest/patch applies hunks that are applicable and leaves *.rej files the rejected hunks, and it reports what it is doing. With --index, files with a rejected hunk do not get their index entries updated at all, so "git diff" will show the hunks that successfully got applied. Without --verbose to remind the user that the patch updated some other paths cleanly, it is very easy to lose track of the status of the working tree, so --reject implies --verbose.

2006-08-26Add git-zip-treeLibravatar Rene Scharfe1-0/+67
In the Windows world ZIP files are better supported than tar files. Windows even includes built-in support for ZIP files nowadays. git-zip-tree is similar to git-tar-tree; it creates ZIP files out of git trees. It stores the commit ID (if available) in a ZIP file comment which can be extracted by unzip. There's still quite some room for improvement: this initial version supports no symlinks, calls write() way too often (three times per file) and there is no unit test. [jc: with a minor typefix to avoid void* arithmetic] Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-26git-svn: add the 'dcommit' commandLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+27
This is a high-level wrapper around the 'commit-diff' command and used to produce cleaner history against the mirrored repository through rebase/reset usage. It's basically a more polished version of this: for i in `git rev-list --no-merges remotes/git-svn..HEAD | tac`; do git-svn commit-diff $i~1 $i done git reset --hard remotes/git-svn Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-25git-svn: recommend rebase for syncing against an SVN repoLibravatar Eric Wong1-2/+20
Does this make sense to other git-svn users out there? pull can give funky history unless you understand how git-svn works internally, which users should not be expected to do. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-25git-svn(1): improve asciidoc markupLibravatar Jonas Fonseca1-85/+114
Use list continuation to have better wrapping. This accounts for most of the changes because it reindents a lot of text without applying other changes. Use cross-referencing for interlinking and the gitlink macro for pointing to other tools in the git suite.

2006-08-25git(7): put the synopsis in a verse style paragraphLibravatar Jonas Fonseca1-1/+2

2006-08-25gitk(1): expand the manpage to look less like a templateLibravatar Jonas Fonseca1-10/+50
Add a short description and document a few selected options additionally to the different "entities" in the standard calling convention. Advertise other git repository browsers. Lastly, climb Mount Ego. Signed-off-by: Jonas Fonseca <fonseca@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-25git-blame(1): mention options in the synopsis and advertise pickaxeLibravatar Jonas Fonseca1-6/+23
Inspired by the cvs annotate documentation improve and expand the man page to also mention the limitations of file annotations. Since people coming from the SVN/CVS world might first look here, also briefly advertise how the pickaxe interface makes it easy to go beyond these limitation.

2006-08-23update-index -gLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
I often find myself typing this but the common abbreviation "g" for "again" has not been supported so far for some unknown reason. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-17git-apply --rejectLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+8
With the new flag "--reject", hunks that do not apply are sent to the standard output, and the usable hunks are applied. The command itself exits with non-zero status when this happens, so that the user or wrapper can take notice and sort the remaining mess out. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-08-11git-grep: show pathnames relative to the current directoryLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+7
By default, the command shows pathnames relative to the current directory. Use --full-name (the same flag to do so in ls-files) if you want to see the full pathname relative to the project root. This makes it very pleasant to run in Emacs compilation (or "grep-find") buffer. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-08-10Add the --color-words option to the diff options familyLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+3
With this option, the changed words are shown inline. For example, if a file containing "This is foo" is changed to "This is bar", the diff will now show "This is " in plain text, "foo" in red, and "bar" in green.

With this, you can say git --bare repack -a -d inside a bare repository, and it will actually work.

2006-07-23pack-objects: check pack.window for default window sizeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
For some repositories, deltas simply don't make sense. One can disable them for git-repack by adding --window, but git-push insists on making the deltas which can be very CPU-intensive for little benefit. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-23tar-tree: add the "tar.umask" config optionLibravatar Willy Tarreau2-1/+25
By default, git-tar-tree(1) sets file and directories modes to 0666 or 0777. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects such as the Linux Kernel, it might be excessive for other projects. With this variable, it becomes possible to tell git-tar-tree(1) to apply a specific umask to the modes above. The special value "user" indicates that the user's current umask will be used. This should be enough for most projects, as it will lead to the same permissions as git-checkout(1) would use. The default value remains 0, which means world read-write.

This patch adds support for -a which will add an "Author: " line, and possibly a "Committer: " line to the bottom of the commit message for CVS. The commit message parser is now a little bit better, and some warnings have been cleaned up. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-07-14Documentation/urls.txt: Use substitution to escape square bracketsLibravatar Jonas Fonseca2-8/+11
This changes "[user@]" to use {startsb} and {endsb} to insert [ and ], similar to how {caret} is used in git-rev-parse.txt. [jc: Removed a well-intentioned comment that broke the final formatting from the original patch.

2006-07-13sha1_file: add the ability to parse objects in "pack file format"Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+6
The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding. The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length information, which is somewhat wasteful. A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to copy the payload straight to packfiles. Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for now new object files are created with the traditional format. core.legacyheaders configuration item, when set to false makes the code write in new format for people to experiment with.
