2014-06-03Merge branch 'fc/mergetool-prompt'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+5
mergetool.prompt used to default to 'true', always causing a confirmation "do you really want to run the tool on this path" to be shown. Among the two purposes the prompt serves, ignore the use case to confirm that the user wants to view particular path with the named tool, and make the prompt only to confirm the choice of the tool made by autodetection and defaulting. For those who configured the tool explicitly, the prompt shown for the latter purpose is simply annoying. Strictly speaking, this is a backward incompatible change and the users need to explicitly set the variable to 'true' if they want to resurrect the now-ignored use case. * fc/mergetool-prompt: mergetool: document the default for --[no-]prompt mergetool: run prompt only if guessed tool

2014-04-24mergetool: document the default for --[no-]promptLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+5
The original motivation of using the prompt was to confirm to run a tool on this particular (as opposed to another) path, but the user can also take the prompt as to confirm to run this (as opposed to some other) tool. The latter of which of course is irritating for those who told which exact tool to use, which is the reason why we are flipping the default. During the review discussion of the patch, many people (including the maintainer) missed that a user can find the prompt useful way to skip running the tool on particular paths. Clarify it by adding a brief half-sentence to the description. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-04-19Git 2.0: git svn: Set default --prefix='origin/' if --prefix is not givenLibravatar Johan Herland1-16/+4
git-svn by default puts its Subversion-tracking refs directly in refs/remotes/*. This runs counter to Git's convention of using refs/remotes/$remote/* for storing remote-tracking branches. Furthermore, combining git-svn with regular git remotes run the risk of clobbering refs under refs/remotes (e.g. if you have a git remote called "tags" with a "v1" branch, it will overlap with the git-svn's tracking branch for the "v1" tag from Subversion. Even though the git-svn refs stored in refs/remotes/* are not "proper" remote-tracking branches (since they are not covered by a proper git remote's refspec), they clearly represent a similar concept, and would benefit from following the same convention. For example, if git-svn tracks Subversion branch "foo" at refs/remotes/foo, and you create a local branch refs/heads/foo to add some commits to be pushed back to Subversion (using "git svn dcommit), then it is clearly unhelpful of Git to throw warning: refname 'foo' is ambiguous. every time you checkout, rebase, or otherwise interact with the branch. The existing workaround for this is to supply the --prefix=quux/ to git svn init/clone, so that git-svn's tracking branches end up in refs/remotes/quux/* instead of refs/remotes/*. However, encouraging users to specify --prefix to work around a design flaw in git-svn is suboptimal, and not a long term solution to the problem. Instead, git-svn should default to use a non-empty prefix that saves unsuspecting users from the inconveniences described above. This patch will only affect newly created git-svn setups, as the --prefix option only applies to git svn init (and git svn clone). Existing git-svn setups will continue with their existing (lack of) prefix. Also, if anyone somehow prefers git-svn's old layout, they can recreate that by explicitly passing an empty prefix (--prefix "") on the git svn init/clone command line. The patch changes the default value for --prefix from "" to "origin/", updates the git-svn manual page, and fixes the fallout in the git-svn testcases. (Note that this patch might be easier to review using the --word-diff and --word-diff-regex=. diff options.)

2014-04-17install-webdoc.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitutionLibravatar Elia Pinto1-3/+3
The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`. The backquoted form is the traditional method for command substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require careful escaping with the backslash character. The patch was generated by: for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh") do sed -i 's@`\(.*\)`@$(\1)@g' ${_f} done and then carefully proof-read.
