2007-09-19Make fetch a builtinLibravatar Daniel Barkalow1-4/+5
Thanks to Johannes Schindelin for review and fixes, and Julian Phillips for the original C translation. This changes a few small bits of behavior: branch.<name>.merge is parsed as if it were the lhs of a fetch refspec, and does not have to exactly match the actual lhs of a refspec, so long as it is a valid abbreviation for the same ref. branch.<name>.merge is no longer ignored if the remote is configured with a branches/* file. Neither behavior is useful, because there can only be one ref that gets fetched, but this is more consistant. Also, fetch prints different information to standard out.

2007-09-18Fixed update-hook example allow-users format.Libravatar Väinö Järvelä1-4/+4
The example provided with the update-hook-example does not work on either bash 2.05b.0(1)-release nor 3.1.17(1)-release. The matcher did not match the lines that it advertised to match, such as: refs/heads/bw/ linus refs/heads/tmp/* * In POSIX 1003.2 regular expressions, the star (*), is not an wildcard meaning "match everything", it matches 0 or more matches of the atom preceding it. So to match "refs/heads/bw/topic-branch", the matcher should be written as "refs/heads/bw/.*" to match "refs/heads/bw/" and everything after it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-09-15documentation: replace Discussion section by link to user-manual chapterLibravatar J. Bruce Fields3-597/+54
The "Discussion" section has a lot of useful information, but is a little wordy, especially for an already-long man page, and is designed for an audience more of potential git hackers than users, which probably doesn't make as much sense as git matures. Also, I (perhaps foolishly) forked a version in the user manual, which has been significantly rewritten in an attempt to address some of the above problems. So, remove this section and replace it by a (very terse) summary of the original material--my attempt at the World's Shortest Git Overview--and a reference to the appropriate chapter of the user manual. It's unfortunate to remove something that's been in this place for a long time, as some people may still depend on finding it there. But I think we'll want to do this some day anyway.

2007-09-15user-manual: create new "low-level git operations" chapterLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-9/+24

2007-09-15user-manual: adjust section levels in "git internals"Libravatar J. Bruce Fields1-5/+12
The descriptions of the various object types should all be a subsection of the "Object Database" section. I cribbed most of this chapter from the README (now core-intro.txt and git(7)), because there's stuff in there people need to know and I was too lazy to rewrite it. The audience isn't quite right, though--the chapter is a mixture of user- and developer- level documentation that isn't as appropriate now as it was originally. So, reserve this chapter for stuff users need to know, and move the source code introduction into a new "git hacking" chapter where we'll also move any hacker-only technical details.

2007-09-14Documentation/git-config.txt: AsciiDoc tweak to avoid leading dotLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Bram Schoenmakers noticed that git-config document was formatted incorrectly. Depending on the version of AsciiDoc and docbook toolchain, it is sometimes taken as a numbered example by AsciiDoc, some other times passed intact to roff format to confuse "man". Since we refer to the repository metadata directory as $GIT_DIR elsewhere, work it around by using that symbolic name. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

"%PLCHLDR" (take 2) As suggested by Johannes, --pretty=format: placeholders in specfiles need to be wrapped in $Format:...$ now.

2007-09-05Include a git-push example for creating a remote branchLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+6
Many users get confused when `git push origin master:foo` works when foo already exists on the remote repository but are confused when foo doesn't exist as a branch and this form does not create the branch foo. This new example highlights the trick of including refs/heads/ in front of the desired branch name to create a branch. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-09-03archive: specfile support (--pretty=format: in archive files)Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+14
Add support for a new attribute, specfile. Files marked as being specfiles are expanded by git-archive when they are written to an archive. It has no effect on worktree files. The same placeholders as those for the option --pretty=format: of git-log et al. can be used. The attribute is useful for creating auto-updating specfiles. It is limited by the underlying function format_commit_message(), though. E.g. currently there is no placeholder for git-describe like output, and expanded specfiles can't contain NUL bytes. That can be fixed in format_commit_message() later and will then benefit users of git-log, too.

Allows username and password to be given using --smtp-user and --smtp-pass. SSL use is flagged by --smtp-ssl. These are backed by corresponding defaults in the git configuration file. This implements Junio's 'mail identity' suggestion in a slightly more generalised manner. --identity=$identity, backed by sendemail.identity indicates that the configuration subsection [sendemail "$identity"] should take priority over the [sendemail] section for all configuration values.
