2007-10-18Documentation/git-gc: improve description of --autoLibravatar Jeff King1-12/+17
This patch tries to make the description of --auto a little more clear for new users, especially those referred by the "git-gc --auto" notification message. It also cleans up some grammatical errors and typos in the original description, as well as rewording for clarity. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-10-16git-rebase: document suppression of duplicate commitsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+24
git-rebase uses format-patch's --ignore-if-in-upstream option, but we never document the user-visible behavior. The example is placed near the top of the example list rather than at the bottom because it is: a. a simple example b. a reasonably common scenario for many projects (mail some patches which get accepted upstream, then rebase) [sp: Corrected direction of 'HEAD..<upstream>' set comparsion] Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Added a new section beneath "On Automatic following" called "On Backdating Tags". This includes an explanation of when to use this method, a brief explanation of the kind of date that can be used in GIT_AUTHOR_DATE, and an example invocation of git-tag using a custom setting of GIT_AUTHOR_DATE.

2007-10-15manual: Fix example finding commits referencing given content.Libravatar Ralf Wildenhues1-1/+1
If I'm handed a file, then it typically lives outside the working directory. git-log only operates on in-tree files, so the first 'filename' should be an in-tree one, or it should look at all files. This patch does the latter, so it would also find renamed files. However, it is also slower. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2007-10-15Add a --dry-run option to git-push.Libravatar Brian Ewins1-1/+4
The default behaviour of git-push is potentially confusing for new users, since it will push changes that are not on the current branch. Publishing patches that were still cooking on a development branch is hard to undo. It would also be nice to be able to verify the expansion of refspecs if you've edited them, so that you know what branches matched on the server. Adding a --dry-run flag allows the user to experiment safely and learn how to use git-push properly. Originally suggested by Steffen Prohaska.

2007-10-15instaweb: support for Ruby's WEBrick serverLibravatar Mike Dalessio1-1/+1
running the webrick server with git requires Ruby and Ruby's YAML and Webrick libraries (both of which come standard with Ruby). nice for single-user standalone invocations. the --httpd=webrick option generates a ruby script on the fly to read httpd.conf options and invoke the web server via library call. this script is placed in the .git/gitweb directory. it also generates a shell script in a feeble attempt to invoke ruby in a portable manner, which assumes that 'ruby' is in the user's $PATH.

2007-09-29Make for-each-ref's grab_date() support per-atom formattingLibravatar Andy Parkins1-0/+5
grab_date() gets an extra parameter - atomname; this extra parameter is checked to see if it has a ":<format>" extra component in it, and if so that "<format>" string is passed to parse_date_format() to produce an enum date_mode value which is then further passed to show_date(). In short it allows the user of git-for-each-ref to do things like this: $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:default)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 Sun May 20 00:30:42 2007 -0700 $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:relative)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 4 months ago $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:short)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 2007-05-20 $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:local)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 Sun May 20 08:30:42 2007 $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:iso8601)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 2007-05-20 00:30:42 -0700 $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:rfc2822)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 Sun, 20 May 2007 00:30:42 -0700 The default, when no ":<format>" is specified is ":default", leaving the existing behaviour unchanged.
