2013-12-10make the sender advertise shallow commits to the receiverLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+3
If either receive-pack or upload-pack is called on a shallow repository, shallow commits (*) will be sent after the ref advertisement (but before the packet flush), so that the receiver has the full "shape" of the sender's commit graph. This will be needed for the receiver to update its .git/shallow if necessary. This breaks the protocol for all clients trying to push to a shallow repo, or fetch from one. Which is basically the same end result as today's "is_repository_shallow() && die()" in receive-pack and upload-pack. New clients will be made aware of shallow upstream and can make use of this information. The sender must send all shallow commits that are sent in the following pack. It may send more shallow commits than necessary. upload-pack for example may choose to advertise no shallow commits if it knows in advance that the pack it's going to send contains no shallow commits. But upload-pack is the server, so we choose the cheaper way, send full .git/shallow and let the client deal with it. Smart HTTP is not affected by this patch. Shallow support on smart-http comes later separately. (*) A shallow commit is a commit that terminates the revision walker. It is usually put in .git/shallow in order to keep the revision walker from going out of bound because there is no guarantee that objects behind this commit is available.

To match the assumption that a remote-tracking branch is used to keep track of the advancement of the master at the origin, update the first illustration that shows the history before "git pull" to show the distinction between the master currently at origin and the stale origin/master remote-tracking branch.

2013-10-22Documentation: revamp gitk(1)Libravatar Thomas Rast1-24/+83
The gitk manpage suffers from a bit of neglect: there have been only minor changes, and no changes to the set of options documented, since a2df1fb (Documentation: New GUI configuration and command-line options., 2008-11-13). In the meantime, the set of rev-list options has been expanded several times by options that are useful in gitk, e.g., --ancestry-path and the optional globbing for --branches, --tags and --remotes. Restructure and expand the manpage. List more options that the author perceives as useful, while remaining somewhat terse. Ideally the user should not have to look up any of the references, but we dispense with precise explanations in some places and refer to git-log(1) instead. Note that the options that have an easy GUI equivalent (e.g., --word-diff, -S, --grep) are deliberately not listed even in the cases where they simply fill in the GUI fields.
