Removing Cogito leaves just git and StGit, which is a rather incomplete list of git diff tools available. Sidestep the problem of deciding what tools to mention by not mentioning any. Signed-off-by: Sverre Rabbelier <srabbelier@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-09-06Revert "Merge branch 'cb/maint-quiet-push' into maint"Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-8/+2
This reverts commit ffa69e61d3c5730bd4b65a465efc130b0ef3c7df, reversing changes made to 4a13c4d14841343d7caad6ed41a152fee550261d. Adding a new command line option to receive-pack and feed it from send-pack is not an acceptable way to add features, as there is no guarantee that your updated send-pack will be talking to updated receive-pack. New features need to be added via the capability mechanism negotiated over the protocol. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-09-01(short) documentation for the testgit remote helperLibravatar Matthieu Moy2-0/+32
While it's not a command meant to be used by actual users (hence, not mentionned in git(1)), this command is a very precious help for remote-helpers authors. The best place for such technical doc is the source code, but users may not find it without a link in a manpage.

2011-09-01Documentation/git-remote-helpers: explain how import works with multiple refsLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-1/+21
This is important for two reasons: * when two "import" lines follow each other, only one "done" command should be issued in the fast-import stream, not one per "import". * The blank line terminating an import command should not be confused with the one terminating the sequence of commands. While we're there, illustrate the corresponding explanation for push batches with an example.

2011-09-01git-svn: Teach dcommit --mergeinfo to handle multiple linesLibravatar Bryan Jacobs1-2/+3
"svn dcommit --mergeinfo" replaces the svn:mergeinfo property in an upstream SVN repository with the given text. The svn:mergeinfo property may contain commits originating on multiple branches, separated by newlines. Cause space characters in the mergeinfo to be replaced by newlines, allowing a user to create history representing multiple branches being merged into one. Update the corresponding documentation and add a test for the new functionality.

2011-09-01git-svn: New flag to emulate empty directoriesLibravatar Ray Chen1-0/+11
Adds a --preserve-empty-dirs flag to the clone operation that will detect empty directories in the remote Subversion repository and create placeholder files in the corresponding local Git directories. This allows "empty" directories to exist in the history of a Git repository. Also adds the --placeholder-file flag to control the name of any placeholder files created. Default value is ".gitignore".

2011-08-30Documentation: clarify effects of -- <path> argumentsLibravatar Thomas Rast1-4/+7
'git log -- <path>' does not "show commits that affect the specified paths" in a literal sense unless --full-history is given (for example, a file that only existed on a side branch will turn up no commits at all!). Reword it to specify the actual intent of the filtering, and point to the "History Simplification" section.

2011-08-29Documentation/remote-helpers: explain capabilities firstLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-30/+129
The current remote helper documentation is from the perspective of git, so to speak: it presents a full menu of commands for a person invoking a remote helper to choose from. In practice, that's less useful than it could be, since the daunted novice remote-helper author probably just wanted a list of commands needs to implement to get started. So preface the command list with an overview of each capability, its purpose, and what commands it requires. As a side effect, this makes it a little clearer that git doesn't choose arbitrary commands to run, even if the remote helper advertises all capabilities --- instead, there are well defined command sequences for various tasks.

2011-08-29Document negated forms of format-patch --to --cc --add-headersLibravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+8
The negated forms introduced in c426003 (format-patch: add --no-cc, --no-to, and --no-add-headers, 2010-03-07) were not documented anywhere. Add them to the descriptions of the positive forms. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-08-28Documentation: clarify "git clean -e <pattern>"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+6
The current explanation of -e can be misread as allowing the user to say I know 'git clean -XYZ' (substitute -XYZ with any option and/or parameter) will remove paths A, B, and C, and I want them all removed except for paths matching this pattern by adding '-e C' to the same command line, i.e. 'git clean -e C -XYZ'. But that is not what this option does. It augments the set of ignore rules from the command line, just like the same "-e <pattern>" argument does with the "ls-files" command (the user could probably pass "-e \!C" to tell the command to clean everything the command would normally remove, except for C). Also error out when both -x and -e are given with an explanation of what -e means---it is a symptom of misunderstanding what -e does. It also fixes small style nit in the parameter to add_exclude() call. The current code only works because EXC_CMDL happens to be defined as 0. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-08-25git-notes.txt: clarify -C vs. copy and -FLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-2/+5
The current description of '-C' together with the analogy to 'git commit -C' can lead to the wrong conclusion that '-C' copies notes between objects. Make this clearer by rewording and pointing to 'copy'. The example for attaching binary notes with 'git hash-object' followed by 'git notes add -C' immediately raises the question: "Why not use 'git notes add -F'?". Answer it (the latter is not binary-safe). Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Acked-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-08-20push: Don't push a repository with unpushed submodulesLibravatar Fredrik Gustafsson1-0/+6
When working with submodules it is easy to forget to push a submodule to the server but pushing a super-project that contains a commit for that submodule. The result is that the superproject points at a submodule commit that is not available on the server. This adds the option --recurse-submodules=check to push. When using this option git will check that all submodule commits that are about to be pushed are present on a remote of the submodule. To be able to use a combined diff, disabling a diff callback has been removed from combined-diff.c.
