2010-06-06Documentation/rev-list-options.txt: Explain --ancestry-pathLibravatar Johan Herland1-2/+48
Add a short paragraph explaining --ancestry-path, followed by a more detailed example. This mirrors how the other history simplification options are documented. Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-06-06Documentation/rev-list-options.txt: Fix missing line in example history graphLibravatar Johan Herland1-1/+1
In the detailed explanation of how the revision machinery does history simplification, the current text presents an example history and explains how various options of the revision machinery affect the resulting list of commits. The first simplification mode mentioned is the default mode, in which a number of commits is omitted from the example graph according to the history simplification rules. The text states (among other things) that commit "C was considered via N, but is TREESAME", and therefore omitted. However, the accompanying graph does not list the effect on the implicit parentage, i.e. that commit I takes C's place as a parent of N. Running 'git rev-list --parents P' does indeed list I as a second parent of N, and the accompanying graph should therefore also show this line.

2010-04-17documentation: clarify direction of core.autocrlfLibravatar Will Palmer1-4/+4
The description for core.autocrlf refers to reads from / writes to "the filesystem", the only use of this rather ambiguous term, which technically could be referring to the git object database. (All other mentions are part of phrases such as "..filesystems (like NFS).."). Other sections, including the section on core.safecrlf, use the term "work tree" for the same purpose as the term "the filesystem" is used in the core.autocrlf section, so that seems like a good alternative, which makes it clearer what direction the addition/removal of CR characters occurs in.

2010-04-15Document new "already-merged" rule for branch -dLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+3
v1.7.0-rc0~18^2 (branch -d: base the "already-merged" safety on the branch it merges with, 2009-12-29) taught ‘git branch’ a new heuristic for when it is safe to delete a branch without forcing the issue. It is safe to delete a branch "topic" without second thought if: - the branch "topic" is set up to pull from a (remote-tracking, usually) branch and is fully merged in that "upstream" branch, or - there is no branch.topic.merge configuration and branch "topic" is fully merged in the current HEAD. Update the man page to acknowledge the new rules. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

- use "<options>" instead of just "options". - use "[<repository> [<refspec>...]]" to indicate that <repository> and <refspec> are optional, and that <refspec> cannot be specified without specifying <repository>. Note that when called without specifying <repository> (eg. "git fetch -f"), it is accurate to say that the "git fetch [<options>] [<repository> ...]" case takes precedence over "git fetch [<options>] <group>".
