2009-04-22Documentation: git-svn: fix a grammatical error without awkwardnessLibravatar Wesley J. Landaker1-1/+1
The way the sentence is currently written, there needs to be an "its", but this leads to: "however the remote wildcard may be anywhere as long as it's its own" which is awkward to read. Instead, this patch fixes he grammar in a simpler way. Signed-off-by: Wesley J. Landaker <wjl@icecavern.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-22Documentation: git-svn: fix spurious bolding that mangles the outputLibravatar Wesley J. Landaker1-1/+1
Without this fix, the output looks like: "Keep in mind that the (asterisk) wildcard of the local ref (right of the :) *must be the ..." -- with half the sentence spuriously bold. This fixes the problem by simply escaping asciidoc syntax as suggested by Jeff King <peff@peff.net>. Signed-off-by: Wesley J.

2009-04-21Revert "stat_tracking_info(): only count real commits"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+0
This reverts commit 19de5d6913b9681d2bde533bccc8445c9236a648. It produces a misleading output to decide if a merge can fast-forward.

2009-04-17doc/gitattributes: clarify location of config textLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+6
The gitattributes documentation has a section on the "diff" attribute, with subsections for each of the things you might want to configure in your diff config section (external diff, hunk headers, etc). The first such subsection specifically notes that the definition of the diff driver should go into $GIT_DIR/config, but subsequent sections do not. This location is implied if you are reading the documentation sequentially, but it is not uncommon for a new user to jump to (or be referred to) a specific section. For a new user who does not know git well enough to recognize the config syntax, it is not clear that those directives don't also go into the gitattributes file. This patch just mentions the config file in each subsection, similar to the way it is mentioned in the first.

2009-04-13rev-parse: --abbrev-ref option to shorten ref nameLibravatar Bert Wesarg1-0/+5
This applies the shorten_unambiguous_ref function to the object name. Default mode is controlled by core.warnAmbiguousRefs. Else it is given as optional argument to --abbrev-ref={strict|loose}. This should be faster than 'git for-each-ref --format="%(refname:short)" <ref>' for single refs.

2009-04-13for-each-ref: utilize core.warnAmbiguousRefs for :short-formatLibravatar Bert Wesarg1-0/+2
core.warnAmbiguousRefs is used to select strict mode for the abbreviation for the ":short" format specifier of "refname" and "upstream". In strict mode, the abbreviated ref will never trigger the 'warn_ambiguous_refs' warning. I.e. for these refs: refs/heads/xyzzy refs/tags/xyzzy the abbreviated forms are: heads/xyzzy tags/xyzzy Signed-off-by: Bert Wesarg <bert.wesarg@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-13docs/checkout: clarify what "non-branch" meansLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+5
In the code we literally stick "refs/heads/" on the front and see if it resolves, so that is probably the best explanation. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-13doc/checkout: split checkout and branch creation in synopsisLibravatar Jeff King1-18/+22
These can really be thought of as two different modes, since the "<branch>" parameter is treated differently in the two (in one it is the branch to be checked out, but in the other it is really a start-point for branch creation). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-13doc/checkout: refer to git-branch(1) as appropriateLibravatar Jeff King1-19/+9
Most of description for the branch creation options is simply cut and paste from git-branch. There are two reasons to fix this: 1. It can grow stale with respect to what's in "git branch" (which it is now is). 2. It is not just an implementation detail, but rather the desired mental model for the command that we are using "git branch" here. Being explicit about that can help the user understand what is going on. It also makes sense to strip the branch creation options from the synopsis, as they are making it a long, hard-to-read line. They are still easily discovered by reading the options list, and --track is explicitly referenced when branch creation is described.

2009-04-13doc: refer to tracking configuration as "upstream"Libravatar Jeff King2-12/+14
The term "tracking" often creates confusion between remote tracking branches and local branches which track a remote branch. The term "upstream" captures more clearly the idea of "branch A is based on branch B in some way", so it makes sense to mention it. At the same time, upstream branches are used for more than just git-pull these days; let's mention that here.

2009-04-12mergetool--lib: simplify API usage by removing more global variablesLibravatar David Aguilar1-9/+7
The mergetool--lib scriplet was tricky to use because it relied upon the existance of several global shell variables. This removes more global variables so that things are simpler for callers. A side effect is that some variables are recomputed each time run_merge_tool() is called, but the overhead for recomputing them is justified by the simpler implementation.
