Update "git checkout foo" that DWIMs the intended "upstream" and turns it into "git checkout -t -b foo remotes/origin/foo" to correctly take existing remote definitions into account.

2013-05-29Merge branch 'jc/prune-all'Libravatar Junio C Hamano3-4/+16
We used the approxidate() parser for "--expire=<timestamp>" options of various commands, but it is better to treat --expire=all and --expire=now a bit more specially than using the current timestamp.

"diff-index" can be used to compare a tree with the tracked working tree files (when used without the --index option), or with the index (when used with the --index option).

"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.

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>

2013-04-28upload-pack: ignore 'shallow' lines with unknown obj-idsLibravatar Michael Heemskerk1-2/+1
When the client sends a 'shallow' line for an object that the server does not have, the server currently dies with the error: "did not find object for shallow <obj-id>". The client may have truncated the history at the commit by fetching shallowly from a different server, or the commit may have been garbage collected by the server. In either case, this unknown commit is not relevant for calculating the pack that is to be sent and can be safely ignored, and it is not used when recomputing where the updated history of the client is cauterised. The documentation in technical/pack-protocol.txt has been updated to remove the restriction that "Clients MUST NOT mention an obj-id which it does not know exists on the server". This requirement is not realistic because clients cannot know whether an object has been garbage collected by the server.

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. But the patch as-is is already an improvement. * jn/glossary-revision: glossary: a revision is just a commit

Earlier we added support for --expire=all (or --expire=now) that considers all crufts, regardless of their age, as eligible for garbage collection by turning command argument parsers that use approxidate() to use parse_expiry_date(), but "git prune" used a built-in parse-options facility OPT_DATE() and did not benefit from the new function.
