2005-10-11show-branch: optionally use unique prefix as name.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-16/+10
git-show-branch acquires two new options. --sha1-name to name commits using the unique prefix of their object names, and --no-name to not to show names at all. This was outlined in <7vk6gpyuyr.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-10-06Fall back to three-way merge when applying a patch.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+9
After git-apply fails, attempt to find a base tree that the patch cleanly applies to, and do a three-way merge using that base tree into the current index, if .dotest/.3way file exists. This flag can be controlled by giving -m flag to git-applymbox command. When the fall-back merge fails, the working tree can be resolved the same way as you would normally hand resolve a conflicting merge. When making commit, use .dotest/final-commit as the log message template. Or you could just choose to 'git-checkout-index -f -a' to revert the failed merge.

2005-10-06Allow "-u" flag to tag signingLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-7/+15
The current "git tag -s" thing always uses the tagger name as the signing user key, which is very irritating, since my key is under my email address, but the tagger key obviously contains the actual machine name too. Now, I could just use "GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" and force it to be my real email, but I actually think that it's nice to see which machine I use for my work. So rather than force my tagger ID to have to match the gpg key name, just support the "-u" flag to "git tag" instead. It implicitly enables signing, since it doesn't make any sense without it. Thus: git tag -u <gpg-key-name> <tag-name> [<tagged-object>] will use the named gpg key for signing. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-10-04git-apply: retire unused/unimplemented --no-merge flag.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-6/+1
The original plan was to do 3-way merge between local working tree, index and the patch being applied, but that was never implemented. Retire the flag to control its behaviour. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-10-03[PATCH] Random documentation fixesLibravatar Jonas Fonseca26-192/+209
The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy: - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on included files. - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional info. - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc. - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text. - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----) for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML block. - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists. - Fix linking to other GIT docs. - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

2005-09-24[PATCH] git-daemon --syslog to log through syslogLibravatar Petr Baudis1-1/+5
Well, this makes it even more clear that we need the packet reader and friends to use the daemon logging code. :/ Therefore, we at least indicate in the "Disconnect" log message if the child process exitted with an error code or not.

2005-09-22[PATCH] Retitle 'inspecting what happened' section.Libravatar Jon Loeliger1-2/+2
In the tutorial, there is a section entitled "Checking it out" that shows how to use diff log and whatchanged to insect some of the repository state. As the phrase "checkout" ususally carries some baggage WRT other revision control mechanism, I suggest that we re-title this section something like "Inspecting Changes".

2005-09-22Retire diff-helper.Libravatar Junio C Hamano3-58/+1
The textual diff generation with built-in '-p' in diff-* brothers has proven to be useful enough that git-diff-helper outlived its usefulness. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-22Retire rev-tree.Libravatar Junio C Hamano3-93/+2
Some old scripts might still use git-rev-tree, but it really is clearly inferior in every way to git-rev-list that such scripts should be fixed anyway. Fixing them should be pretty easy. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-22Retire git-export.Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-34/+0
git-export was done as a concept example on how easy it is to export the git data to something else. It's much less powerful than any number of trivial one-liner scripts now, and real exporters would not ever use git-export. It's obviously much less powerful than "git-whatchanged", or just about any combination of git-rev-list + git-diff-tree. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Randal L. Schwartz noticed that 'make install' does not rebuild what is installed. Make the 'install' rule depend on 'man'.

Add -m/--modified to show files that have been modified wrt. the index. [jc: The original came from Brian Gerst on Sep 1st but it only checked if the paths were cache dirty without actually checking the files were modified.

An earlier commit causes a mismatch in <emphasis> and <superscript> tags, one way of fixing it is having no more than one caret symbol per line, which is the only solution I found in the asciidoc documentation.
