2012-04-15fast-import doc: cat-blob and ls responses need to be consumed quicklyLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+39
If fast-import's command pipe and the frontend's cat-blob/ls response pipe are both filled, there can be a deadlock. Luckily all existing frontends consume any pending cat-blob/ls responses completely before writing the next command. Document the requirements so future frontend authors and users can be spared from the problem, too. It is not always easy to catch that kind of bug by testing. To set the scene, add some words of explanation to help the novice understand that "cat-blob" and "ls" output are meant for consumption by the frontend.

2012-03-28correct a few doubled-word nits in comments and documentationLibravatar Jim Meyering1-1/+1
Found by running this command: $ git ls-files -z|xargs -0 perl -0777 -n \ -e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt]o)\s+\1\b/gims)' \ -e ' {' \ -e ' $n = ($` =~ tr/\n/\n/ + 1);' \ -e ' ($v = $&) =~ s/\n/\\n/g;' \ -e ' print "$ARGV:$n:$v\n";' \ -e ' }' Why not just git grep -E ...? That wouldn't work then the doubled words are separated by a newline.

2012-03-26Documentation: improve description of GIT_EDITOR and preference orderLibravatar Rodrigo Silva (MestreLion)1-0/+6
Previously GIT_EDITOR was not listed in git(1) "Environment Variables" section, which could be very confusing to users. Include it in "other" subsection along with a link to git-var(1), since that is the page that fully describes all places where editor can be set and also their preference order. Also, git-var(1) did not say that hardcoded fallback 'vi' may have been changed at build time. A user could be puzzled if 'nano' pops up even when none of the mentioned environment vars or config.editor are set. Clarify this. Ideally, the build system should be changed to reflect the chosen fallback editor when creating the man pages. Not sure if that is even possible though.

Even though 1.7.9.x series does not open the editor by default when merging in general, it does do so in one occassion: when merging an annotated tag. And worse yet, there is no good way for older scripts to decline this. Backport the support for GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable from 1.7.10 track to help those stuck on 1.7.9.x maintenance track. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
