A small doc update.

SubmittingPatches: use gitk's "Copy commit summary" format

Correct an age-old calco (is that a typo-like word for calc)

The "git -c var[=val] cmd" facility to append a configuration
variable definition at the end of the search order was described in
git(1) manual page, but not in git-config(1), which was more likely
place for people to look for when they ask "can I make a one-shot
override, and if so how?"
* dg/document-git-c-in-git-config-doc:
doc: mention `git -c` in git-config(1)

"git push --force-with-lease" already had enough logic to allow
ensuring that such a push results in creation of a ref (i.e. the
receiving end did not have another push from sideways that would be
discarded by our force-pushing), but didn't expose this possibility
to the users. It does so now.
* jk/push-force-with-lease-creation:
t5533: make it pass on case-sensitive filesystems
push: allow pushing new branches with --force-with-lease
push: add shorthand for --force-with-lease branch creation
Documentation/git-push: fix placeholder formatting
|
|
The reflog output format is documented better, and a new format
--date=unix to report the seconds-since-epoch (without timezone)
has been added.
* jk/reflog-date:
date: clarify --date=raw description
date: add "unix" format
date: document and test "raw-local" mode
doc/pretty-formats: explain shortening of %gd
doc/pretty-formats: describe index/time formats for %gd
doc/rev-list-options: explain "-g" output formats
doc/rev-list-options: clarify "commit@{Nth}" for "-g" option

"git merge" with renormalization did not work well with
merge-recursive, due to "safer crlf" conversion kicking in when it
shouldn't.
* jc/renormalize-merge-kill-safer-crlf:
merge: avoid "safer crlf" during recording of merge results
convert: unify the "auto" handling of CRLF

According to LARGE_PACKET_MAX in pkt-line.h the maximal length of a
pkt-line packet is 65520 bytes. The pkt-line header takes 4 bytes and
therefore the pkt-line data component must not exceed 65516 bytes.

Update the suggestion in 175d38ca ("SubmittingPatches: document how
to reference previous commits", 2016-07-28) on the format to refer
to a commit to match what gitk has been giving since last year with
its "Copy commit summary" command; also mention this as one of the
ways to obtain a commit reference in this format.

To reference previous commits people used to put just the
abbreviated SHA-1 into commit messages. This is what has evolved as
a more stable format for referencing commits. So lets document it
for everyone to look-up when needed.

The API documentation said that the hashmap_entry structure to be
embedded in the caller's structure is to be treated as opaque, which
left the reader wondering if it can safely be discarded when it no
longer is necessary. If the hashmap_entry structure had references
to external resources such as allocated memory or an open file
descriptor, merely free(3)ing the containing structure (when the
caller's structure is on the heap) or letting it go out of scope
(when it is on the stack) would end up leaking the external
resource.
Document that there is no need for hashmap_entry_clear() that
corresponds to hashmap_entry_init() to give the API users a little
bit of peace of mind.

"... in the internal raw Git format `%s %z` format." was clunky in
repeating "format" twice, and would not have helped those who do not
immediately get that these are strftime(3) conversion specifiers.
Explain them with words, and demote the mention of `%s %z` to a
hint to help those who know them.

We already have "--date=raw", which is a Unix epoch
timestamp plus a contextual timezone (either the author's or
the local). But one may not care about the timezone and just
want the epoch timestamp by itself. It's not hard to parse
the two apart, but if you are using a pretty-print format,
you may want git to show the "finished" form that the user
will see.
We can accomodate this by adding a new date format, "unix",
which is basically "raw" without the timezone.

The "raw" format shows a Unix epoch timestamp, but with a
timezone tacked on. The timestamp is not _in_ that zone, but
it is extra information about the time (by default, the zone
the author was in).
The documentation claims that "raw-local" does not work. It
does, but the end result is rather subtle. Let's describe it
in better detail, and test to make sure it works (namely,
the epoch time doesn't change, but the zone does).
While we are rewording the documentation in this area, let's
not use the phrase "does not work" for the remaining option,
"--date=relative". It's vague; do we accept it or not? We do
accept it, but it has no effect (which is a reasonable
outcome). We should also refer to the option not as
"--relative" (which is the historical synonym, and does not
take "-local" at all), but as "--date=relative".

Allow the empty string to stand in for the null SHA-1 when pushing a new
branch, like we do when deleting branches.
This means that the following command ensures that `new-branch` is
created on the remote (that is, is must not already exist):
git push --force-with-lease=new-branch: origin new-branch

The actual shortening rules aren't that interesting and
probably not worth getting into (I gloss over them here as
"shortened for human readability"). But the fact that %gD
shows whatever you gave on the command line is subtle and
worth mentioning. Since most people will feed a shortened
refname in the first place, it otherwise makes it hard to
understand the difference between the two.

The "reflog selector" format changes based on a series of
heuristics, and that applies equally to both stock "log -g"
output, as well as "--format=%gd". The documentation for
"%gd" doesn't cover this. Let's mention the multiple formats
and refer the user back to the "-g" section for the complete
rules.

We document that asking for HEAD@{now} will switch the
output to show HEAD@{timestamp}, but not that specifying
`--date` has a similar effect, or that it can be overridden
with HEAD@{0}. Let's do so.
These rules come from 794151e (reflog-walk: always make
HEAD@{0} show indexed selectors, 2012-05-04), though that is
simply the culmination of years of these heuristics growing
organically.

When "log -g" shows "HEAD@{1}", "HEAD@{2}", etc, calling
that "commit@{Nth}" is not really accurate. The "HEAD" part
is really the refname. By saying "commit", a reader may
misunderstand that to mean something related to the specific
commit we are showing, not the ref whose reflog we are
traversing.
While we're here, let's also switch these instances to use
literal backticks, as our style guide recommends. As a
bonus, that lets us drop some asciidoc quoting.

In the transport protocol we use NAK to signal the non existence of a
common base, so fix the documentation. This helps readers of the document,
as they don't have to wonder about the difference between NAK and NACK.
As NACK is used in git archive and upload-archive, this is easy to get
wrong.
