2007-03-07Allow fast-import frontends to reload the marks tableLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+12
I'm giving fast-import a lesson on how to reload the marks table using the same format it outputs with --export-marks. This way a frontend can reload the marks table from a prior import, making incremental imports less painful. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2007-03-07Teach receive-pack to run pre-receive/post-receive hooksLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-42/+107
Bill Lear pointed out that it is easy to send out notifications of changes with the update hook, but successful execution of the update hook does not necessarily mean that the ref was actually updated. Lock contention on the ref or being unable to append to the reflog may prevent the ref from being changed. Sending out notifications prior to the ref actually changing is very misleading. To help this situation I am introducing two new hooks to the receive-pack flow: pre-receive and post-receive. These new hooks are invoked only once per receive-pack execution and are passed three arguments per ref (refname, old-sha1, new-sha1). The new post-receive hook is ideal for sending out notifications, as it has the complete list of all refnames that were successfully updated as well as the old and new SHA-1 values. This allows more interesting notifications to be sent. Multiple ref updates could be easily summarized into one email, for example. The new pre-receive hook is ideal for logging update attempts, as it is run only once for the entire receive-pack operation. It can also be used to verify multiple updates happen at once, e.g. an update to the `maint` head must also be accompained by a new annotated tag. Lots of documentation improvements for receive-pack are included in this change, as we want to make sure the new hooks are clearly explained. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2007-03-07git-archimport: allow remapping branch namesLibravatar Paolo Bonzini1-2/+17
This patch adds support to archimport for remapping the branch names to match those used in git more closely. This is useful for projects that migrate to git (as opposed to users that want to use git on Arch-based projects). For example, one can choose an Arch branch name and call it "master". The new command-line syntax works even if there is a colon in a branch name, since only the part after the last colon is taken to be the git name (git does not allow colons in branch names). The new feature is implemented so that archives rotated every year can also be remapped into a single git archive.

2007-03-04user-manual: ensure generated manual references stylesheetLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-1/+4
The generated user manual is rather hard to read thanks to the lack of the css that's supposed to be included from docbook-xsl.css. I'm totally ignorant of the toolchain; grubbing through xmlto and related scripts, the easiest way I could find to ensure that the generated html links to the stylesheet is by calling xsltproc directly.

2007-03-02Add core.symlinks to mark filesystems that do not support symbolic links.Libravatar Johannes Sixt2-0/+12
Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic link, it is impossible to check out the working copy. This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in the database (as long as an entry exists in the index). Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies on that an entry is a real symbolic link.
