2013-05-20git-svn: introduce --parents parameter for commands branch and tagLibravatar Tobias Schulte1-0/+5
This parameter is equivalent to the parameter --parents on svn cp commands and is useful for non-standard repository layouts. Signed-off-by: Tobias Schulte <tobias.schulte@gliderpilot.de> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>
2013-05-20git-svn: clarify explanation of --destination argumentLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-5/+14
The existing documentation for "-d" does not make it obvious whether its argument is supposed to be a full svn path, a partial svn path, the glob from the config file, or what. Clarify the text and add an example to get the reader started.

2013-05-20git-svn: multiple fetch/branches/tags keys are supportedLibravatar Nathan Gray1-0/+12
"git svn" can be configured to use multiple fetch, branches, and tags refspecs by passing multiple --branches or --tags options at init time or editing the configuration file later, which can be handy when working with messy Subversion repositories. Add a note to the configuration section documenting how this works. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

2013-05-16git-submodule.txt: Clarify 'init' and 'add' subcommands.Libravatar Dale R. Worley1-2/+6
Describe how 'add' sets the submodule's logical name, which is used in the configuration entry names. Clarify that 'init' only sets up the configuration entries for submodules that have already been added elsewhere. Describe that <path> arguments limit the submodules that are configured.

2013-05-09git-svn: added an --include-path flagLibravatar Paul Walmsley1-0/+12
The SVN::Fetcher module is now able to filter for inclusion as well as exclusion (as used by --ignore-path). Also added tests, documentation changes and git completion script. If you have an SVN repository with many top level directories and you only want a git-svn clone of some of them then using --ignore-path is difficult as it requires a very long regexp. In this case it's much easier to filter for inclusion. [ew: remove trailing whitespace] Signed-off-by: Paul Walmsley <pjwhams@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

2013-04-26Merge branch 'jn/glossary-revision'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+1
The wording for "revision" in the glossary wanted to say it refers to "commit (noun) as a concept" but it was badly phrased. This may need further updates to hint that in contexts where it is clear, the word may refer to an object name, not necessarily a commit.

2013-04-22git add: --ignore-removal is a better named --no-allLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+6
In the historical context of "git add --all ." that pays attention to "all kinds of changes" (implying "without ignoring removals"), the option to countermand it "--no-all" may have made sense, but because we will be making "--all" the default when a pathspec is given, it makes more sense to rename the option to a more explicit "--ignore-removal". The "--all" option naturally becomes its negation, "--no-ignore-removal". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-04-21git-shortlog.txt: make SYNOPSIS match log, update OPTIONSLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-2/+17
There are broadly two problems with the current SYNOPSIS. First, it completely omits the detail that paths can be specified. Second, it attempts to list all the options: this is futile as, in addition to the options unique to it, it accepts all the options that git-rev-list accepts. In fixing these problems, make the SYNOPSIS consistent with that in git-log.txt. Also add the corresponding sections to OPTIONS. Save adding the options from rev-list-options.txt for a later patch, as it requires some work to pick out the options that are relevant to shortlog.
