* maint: add-interactive: Clarify “remaining hunks in the file”
2010-06-13add-interactive: Clarify “remaining hunks in the file”Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+3
The "a" and "d" commands to ‘add --patch’ (accept/reject rest of file) interact with "j", "g", and "/" (skip some hunks) in a perhaps confusing way: after accepting or rejecting all _later_ hunks in the file, they return to the earlier, skipped hunks and prompt the user about them again. This behavior can be very useful in practice. One can still accept or reject _all_ undecided hunks in a file by using the "g" command to move to hunk #1 first.

2010-06-11rebase -i -p: document shortcomingsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-0/+27
The rebase --preserve-merges facility presents a list of commits in its instruction sheet and uses a separate table to keep track of their parents. Unfortunately, in practice this means that with -p after most attempts to rearrange patches, some commits have the "wrong" parent and the resulting history is rarely what the caller expected. Yes, it would be nice to fix that. But first, add a warning to the manual to help the uninitiated understand what is going on.

2010-06-02git-instaweb: Add support for running gitweb via 'plackup'Libravatar Jakub Narebski1-1/+1
PSGI is an interface between Perl web applications and web servers, and Plack is a Perl module and toolkit that contains PSGI middleware, helpers and adapters to web servers; see http://plackperl.org PSGI and Plack are inspired by Python's WSGI and Ruby's Rack (and probably JavaScript's Jack/JSGI). Plack core distribution includes HTTP::Server::PSGI, a reference PSGI standalone web server implementation. 'plackup' is a command line launcher to run PSGI applications from command line, connecting web app to a web server via Plack::Runner module. By default it uses HTTP::Server::PSGI as a web server. git-instaweb generates gitweb.psgi wrapper (in $GIT_DIR/gitweb). This wrapper uses Plack::App::WrapCGI to compile gitweb.cgi (which is a CGI script) into a PSGI application using CGI::Compile and CGI::Emulate::PSGI. git-instaweb then runs this wrapper, using by default HTTP::Server::PSGI standalone Perl server, via Plack::Runner. The configuration for 'plackup' is currently embedded in generated gitweb.psgi wrapper, instead of using httpd.conf ($conf). To run git-instaweb with '--httpd=plackup', you need to have instaled Plack core, CGI::Emulate::PSGI, CGI::Compile. Those modules have to be available for Perl scripts (which can be done for example by setting PERL5LIB environment variable). This is currently not documented.

2010-06-02Documentation/pretty-{formats,options}: better reference for "format:<string>"Libravatar Nazri Ramliy2-4/+5
In "git help log" (and friends) it's not easy to find the possible placeholder for <string> for the "--pretty=format:<string>" option to git log. This patch makes the placeholder easier to find by adding a reference to the "PRETTY FORMATS" section and repeating the "format:<string>" phrase.
