2010-03-21Documentation/git-clone: Transform description list into item listLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-5/+5
so that the list of examples is formatted in the same way as for git-fetch, and, more importantly, the different identation for the code blocks in the examples (compared to the immediately preceding code blocks from url.txt) doesn't look like misformatted, but is clarified by the items' bullets.

2010-03-21Documentation/urls: Remove spurious example markersLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-6/+0
In urls.txt (which is included from git-{clone,fetch,push}.txt) several item lists are surrounded by example block markers. This is problematic for two reasons: - None of these lists are example lists, so they should not be marked as such semantically. - The html output looks weird (bulleted list with left sidebar). Therefore, remove the example block markers. Output by the man backend is unaffected. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-02-08git-add documentation: Fix shell quoting exampleLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
When 921177f (Documentation: improve "add", "pull" and "format-patch" examples, 2008-05-07) converted this from enumeration header to displayed text, it failed to adjust for the AsciiDoc's rule to quote backslashes. In displayed text, backslash is shown verbatim, while in enumeration header, we need to double it. We have a similar construct in git-rm.txt documentation, and need to be careful when somebody wants to update it to match the style of the "git add" example.

2010-02-05run-command: support custom fd-set in asyncLibravatar Erik Faye-Lund1-10/+40
This patch adds the possibility to supply a set of non-0 file descriptors for async process communication instead of the default-created pipe. Additionally, we now support bi-directional communiction with the async procedure, by giving the async function both read and write file descriptors. To retain compatiblity and similar "API feel" with start_command, we require start_async callers to set .out = -1 to get a readable file descriptor. If either of .in or .out is 0, we supply no file descriptor to the async process. [sp: Note: Erik started this patch, and a huge bulk of it is his work. All bugs were introduced later by Shawn.] Signed-off-by: Erik Faye-Lund <kusmabite@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-02-01fast-import: Stream very large blobs directly to packLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce2-0/+20
If a blob is larger than the configured big-file-threshold, instead of reading it into a single buffer obtained from malloc, stream it onto the end of the current pack file. Streaming the larger objects into the pack avoids the 4+ GiB memory footprint that occurs when fast-import is processing 2+ GiB blobs. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2010-01-20Fix "log" family not to be too agressive about showing notesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
Giving "Notes" information in the default output format of "log" and "show" is a sensible progress (the user has asked for it by having the notes), but for some commands (e.g. "format-patch") spewing notes into the formatted commit log message without being asked is too aggressive. Enable notes output only for "log", "show", "whatchanged" by default and only when the user didn't ask any specific --pretty/--format from the command line; users can explicitly override this default with --show-notes and --no-notes option. Parts of tests are taken from Jeff King's fix. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-01-09Documentation: git gc packs refs by default nowLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-9/+6
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).

2010-01-07git-rm doc: Describe how to sync index & work treeLibravatar Björn Gustavsson1-1/+53
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. While at it, change a single occurrence of "work tree" to "working tree" for consistency. Signed-off-by: Björn Gustavsson <bgustavsson@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
