2009-01-10filter-branch: add git_commit_non_empty_tree and --prune-empty.Libravatar Pierre Habouzit1-0/+14
git_commit_non_empty_tree is added to the functions that can be run from commit filters. Its effect is to commit only commits actually touching the tree and that are not merge points either. The option --prune-empty is added. It defaults the commit-filter to 'git_commit_non_empty_tree "$@"', and can be used with any other combination of filters, except --commit-hook that must used 'git_commit_non_empty_tree "$@"' where one puts 'git commit-tree "$@"' usually to achieve the same result.

2009-01-06strbuf: instate cleanup rule in case of non-memory errorsLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+9
Make all strbuf functions that can fail free() their memory on error if they have allocated it. They don't shrink buffers that have been grown, though. This allows for easier error handling, as callers only need to call strbuf_release() if A) the command succeeded or B) if they would have had to do so anyway because they added something to the strbuf themselves. Bonus hunk: document strbuf_readlink. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-12-29diff: add option to show context between close hunksLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+4
Merge two hunks if there is only the specified number of otherwise unshown context between them. For --inter-hunk-context=1, the resulting patch has the same number of lines but shows uninterrupted context instead of a context header line in between. Patches generated with this option are easier to read but are also more likely to conflict if the file to be patched contains other changes. This patch keeps the default for this option at 0. It is intended to just make the feature available in order to see its advantages and downsides.

2008-12-29Fix the building of gitman.info documentLibravatar Teemu Likonen2-3/+7
"makeinfo" failed to generate gitman.info from gitman.texi input file because the combined manual page file contains several nodes with the same name (DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS, SEE ALSO etc.). An Info document should contain unique node names. This patch creates a simple (read: ugly) work-around by suppressing the validation of the final Info file. Jumping to nodes in the Info document still works but they are not very useful. Common man-page headings like DESCRIPTION and OPTIONS appear in the Info node list and they point to the man page where they appear first (that is git-add currently). Also, this patch adds directory-entry information for Info document to make the document appear in the top-level Info directory.

2008-12-29Fix the building of user-manual.texi and gitman.texi documentsLibravatar Teemu Likonen1-3/+4
Previously "docbook2x-texi" failed to generate user-manual.texi and gitman.texi files from .xml input files because "iconv" stopped at "illegal input sequence" error. This was due to some UTF-8 octets in the input .xml files. This patch adds option --encoding=UTF-8 for "docbook2x-texi" to allow the building of .texi files complete.

2008-12-19fast-export: deal with tag objects that do not have a taggerLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+6
When no tagger was found (old Git produced tags like this), no "tagger" line is printed (but this is incompatible with the current git fast-import). Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing fast-export to fake a tagger Unspecified Tagger <no-tagger> with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.
