2013-04-12doc: clarify that "git daemon --user=<user>" option does not export HOME=~userLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+7
The fact that we don't set $HOME may confuse admins who expect ~<user>/.gitconfig to be used, because that is not what we try to read. And worse, since 96b9e0e3, a git-daemon started by root is likely to fail to run at all, as the user we switch to generally cannot read ~root. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Helped-by: W.

2013-04-12Documentation: distinguish between ref and offset deltas in pack-formatLibravatar Stefan Saasen1-1/+3
eb32d236 introduced the OBJ_OFS_DELTA object that uses a relative offset to identify the base object instead of the 20-byte SHA1 reference. The pack file documentation only mentions the SHA1 based reference in its description of the deltified object entry. Update the pack format documentation to clarify that the deltified object representation refers to its base using either a relative negative offset or the absolute SHA1 identifier.

2013-04-07gitremote-helpers(1): clarify refspec behaviourLibravatar John Keeping1-2/+2
The documentation says that "If no 'refspec' capability is advertised, there is an implied `refspec *:*`" but this is only the case for the "import" command. Since there is a comment in transport-helper.c indicating that this default is for historical reasons, change the documentation to clarify that a refspec should always be specified.

2013-04-07fast-export: Allow pruned-references in mark fileLibravatar Antoine Pelisse1-0/+2
fast-export can fail because of some pruned-reference when importing a mark file. The problem happens in the following scenario: $ git fast-export --export-marks=MARKS master (rewrite master) $ git prune $ git fast-export --import-marks=MARKS master This might fail if some references have been removed by prune because some marks will refer to no longer existing commits. git-fast-export will not need these objects anyway as they were no longer reachable. We still need to update last_numid so we don't change the mapping between marks and objects for remote-helpers. Unfortunately, the mark file should not be rewritten without lost marks if no new objects has been exported, as we could lose track of the last last_numid.

2013-04-05glossary: extend "detached HEAD" descriptionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+16
When we introduced the concept of "detached HEAD", we made sure that commands that operate on the history of the current branch "just work" in that state. They update the HEAD to point at the new history without affecting any branch when the HEAD is detached, just like they update the tip of the "current branch" to point at the new history when HEAD points at a specific branch. As this is done as the natural extension for these commands, we did not, we still do not, and we do not want to repeat "A detached HEAD is updated without affecting any branch" when describing what each and every one of these commands that operates "on the current branch" does. Add a blanket description to the glossary to cover them instead. The general principle is that operations to update the branch work on and affect the HEAD, while operations to update the information about a branch do not.
