In commit 56752391 (Make "git gc" pack all refs by default, 2007-05-24), 'git gc' was changed to run pack-refs by default Versions before v1.5.1.2 cannot clone repos with packed refs over http, and versions before v1.4.4 cannot handled packed refs at all, but more recent git should have no problems. Try to make this more clear in the git-config manual. The analagous passage in git-gc.txt was updated already with commit fe2128a (Change git-gc documentation to reflect gc.packrefs implementation., 2008-01-09).

Newcomers to git that want to remove from the index only the files that have disappeared from the working tree will probably look for a way to do that in the documentation for 'git rm'. Therefore, describe how that can be done (even though it involves other commands than 'git rm'). Based on a suggestion by Junio, but re-arranged and rewritten to better fit into the style of command reference.

2010-01-06Smart-http: check if repository is OK to export before serving itLibravatar Tarmigan Casebolt1-0/+10
Similar to how git-daemon checks whether a repository is OK to be exported, smart-http should also check. This check can be satisfied in two different ways: the environmental variable GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL may be set to export all repositories, or the individual repository may have the file git-daemon-export-ok.

2010-01-03"reset --merge": fix unmerged caseLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
Commit 9e8ecea (Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset', 2008-12-01) disallowed "git reset --merge" when there was unmerged entries. But it wished if unmerged entries were reset as if --hard (instead of --merge) has been used. This makes sense because all "mergy" operations makes sure that any path involved in the merge does not have local modifications before starting, so resetting such a path away won't lose any information. The previous commit changed the behavior of --merge to accept resetting unmerged entries if they are reset to a different state than HEAD, but it did not reset the changes in the work tree, leaving the conflict markers in the resulting file in the work tree. Fix it by doing three things: - Update the documentation to match the wish of original "reset --merge" better, namely, "An unmerged entry is a sign that the path didn't have any local modification and can be safely resetted to whatever the new HEAD records"; - Update read_index_unmerged(), which reads the index file into the cache while dropping any higher-stage entries down to stage #0, not to copy the object name from the higher stage entry. The code used to take the object name from the a stage entry ("base" if you happened to have stage #1, or "ours" if both sides added, etc.), which essentially meant that you are getting random results depending on what the merge did. The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path. In order to differentiate such an entry from ordinary cache entry, the cache entry added by read_index_unmerged() is marked as CE_CONFLICTED. - Update merged_entry() and deleted_entry() so that they pay attention to cache entries marked as CE_CONFLICTED. They are previously unmerged entries, and the files in the work tree that correspond to them are resetted away by oneway_merge() to the version from the tree we are resetting to.

2010-01-03reset: use "unpack_trees()" directly instead of "git read-tree"Libravatar Stephan Beyer1-1/+1
This patch makes "reset_index_file()" call "unpack_trees()" directly instead of forking and execing "git read-tree". So the code is more efficient. And it's also easier to see which unpack_tree() options will be used, as we don't need to follow "git read-tree"'s command line parsing which is quite complex. As Daniel Barkalow found, there is a difference between this new version and the old one. The old version gives an error for "git reset --merge" with unmerged entries, and the new version does not when we reset the entries to some states that differ from HEAD. Instead, it resets the index entry and succeeds, while leaving the conflict markers in the corresponding file in the work tree (which will be corrected by the next patch). The code comes from the sequencer GSoC project: git://repo.or.cz/git/sbeyer.git (at commit 5a78908b70ceb5a4ea9fd4b82f07ceba1f019079) Mentored-by: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org> Mentored-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Stephan Beyer <s-beyer@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-12-30CVS Server: Support reading base and roots from environmentLibravatar Phil Miller1-0/+15
The Gitosis single-account Git/ssh hosting system runs git commands through git-shell after confirming that the connecting user is authorized to access the requested repository. This works well for upload-pack and receive-pack, which take a repository argument through git-shell. This doesn't work so well for `cvs server', which is passed through literally, with no arguments. Allowing arguments risks sneaking in `--export-all', so that restriction should be maintained. Despite that, passing a repository root is necessary for per-user access control by the hosting software, and passing a base path improves usability without weakening security. Thus, git-cvsserver needs to come up with these values at runtime by some other means. Since git-shell preserves the environment for other purposes, the environment can carry these arguments as well. Thus, modify git-cvsserver to read $GIT_CVSSERVER_{BASE_PATH,ROOT} in the absence of equivalent command line arguments.

Refspecs without a source side have been reported as confusing by many. As an alternative, this adds support for commands like: git push origin --delete somebranch git push origin --delete tag sometag Specifically, --delete will prepend a colon to all colon-less refspecs given on the command line, and will refuse to accept refspecs with colons to prevent undue confusion.

2009-12-29Remove http.authAnyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+0
Back when the feature to use different HTTP authentication methods was originally written, it needed an extra HTTP request for everything when the feature was in effect, because we didn't reuse curl sessions. However, b8ac923 (Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic, 2009-11-27) builds on top of an updated codebase that does reuse curl sessions; there is no need to manually avoid the extra overhead by making this configurable anymore.
