2009-01-06strbuf: instate cleanup rule in case of non-memory errorsLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+9
Make all strbuf functions that can fail free() their memory on error if they have allocated it. They don't shrink buffers that have been grown, though. This allows for easier error handling, as callers only need to call strbuf_release() if A) the command succeeded or B) if they would have had to do so anyway because they added something to the strbuf themselves. Bonus hunk: document strbuf_readlink. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-12-29Documentation/diff-options.txt: unify optionsLibravatar jidanni@jidanni.org1-14/+4
Instead of listing short option (e.g. "-U<n>") as a shorthand for its longer counterpart (e.g. "--unified=<n>"), list the synonyms together. It saves one indirection to find what the reader wants. Signed-off-by: jidanni <jidanni@jidanni.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-12-29diff: add option to show context between close hunksLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+4
Merge two hunks if there is only the specified number of otherwise unshown context between them. For --inter-hunk-context=1, the resulting patch has the same number of lines but shows uninterrupted context instead of a context header line in between. Patches generated with this option are easier to read but are also more likely to conflict if the file to be patched contains other changes. This patch keeps the default for this option at 0. It is intended to just make the feature available in order to see its advantages and downsides.

2008-12-29Fix the building of gitman.info documentLibravatar Teemu Likonen2-3/+7
"makeinfo" failed to generate gitman.info from gitman.texi input file because the combined manual page file contains several nodes with the same name (DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS, SEE ALSO etc.). An Info document should contain unique node names. This patch creates a simple (read: ugly) work-around by suppressing the validation of the final Info file. Jumping to nodes in the Info document still works but they are not very useful. Common man-page headings like DESCRIPTION and OPTIONS appear in the Info node list and they point to the man page where they appear first (that is git-add currently). Also, this patch adds directory-entry information for Info document to make the document appear in the top-level Info directory.

2008-12-29Fix the building of user-manual.texi and gitman.texi documentsLibravatar Teemu Likonen1-3/+4
Previously "docbook2x-texi" failed to generate user-manual.texi and gitman.texi files from .xml input files because "iconv" stopped at "illegal input sequence" error. This was due to some UTF-8 octets in the input .xml files. This patch adds option --encoding=UTF-8 for "docbook2x-texi" to allow the building of .texi files complete.

2008-12-27git-shortlog.txt: improve documentation about .mailmap filesLibravatar Adeodato Simó1-7/+33
The description on .mailmap made it seem like they are only useful for commits with a wrong address for an author, but they are about fixing the real name.

2008-12-19fast-export: deal with tag objects that do not have a taggerLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+6
When no tagger was found (old Git produced tags like this), no "tagger" line is printed (but this is incompatible with the current git fast-import). Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing fast-export to fake a tagger Unspecified Tagger <no-tagger> with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.

2008-12-17Clarify documentation of "git checkout <tree-ish> paths" syntaxLibravatar Nanako Shiraishi1-1/+1
The SYNOPSIS section of the manual writes: git checkout [options] [<tree-ish>] [--] <paths>... but the DESCRIPTION says that this form checks the paths out "from the index, or from a named commit." A later sentence refers to the same argument as "<tree-ish> argument", but it is not clear that these two sentences are talking about the same command line argument for first-time readers.
