2010-04-04GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM: flip the default to stop at filesystem boundariesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+8
Regarding the new environment variable, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> writes on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 in <alpine.LFD.2.00.1003301537150.3707@i5.linux-foundation.org>: I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case, no? The "crossing filesystem boundary" condition is checked by comparing st_dev field in the result from stat(2). This is slightly worrysome if non-POSIX ports return different values in the field even for directories in the same work tree extracted to the same "filesystem". Erik Faye-Lund confirms that in the msysgit port st_dev is 0, so this should be safe, as "even Windows is safe" ;-) This will affect those who use /.git to cram /etc and /home/me in the same repostiory, /home is mounted from non-root filesystem, and a git operation is done from inside /home/me/src. But that is such a corner case we don't want to give preference over helping people who will benefit from having this default so that they do not have to suffer from slow automounters.

2010-03-28Add support for GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEMLibravatar Lars R. Damerow1-0/+6
This patch makes git pay attention to the GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM environment variable. When that variable is set, git will stop searching for a GIT_DIR when it attempts to cross a filesystem boundary. When working in an environment with too many automount points to make maintaining a GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list enjoyable, GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM gives the option of turning all such attempts off with one setting.

so that the list of examples is formatted in the same way as for git-fetch, and, more importantly, the different identation for the code blocks in the examples (compared to the immediately preceding code blocks from url.txt) doesn't look like misformatted, but is clarified by the items' bullets.

2010-03-21Documentation/urls: Remove spurious example markersLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-6/+0
In urls.txt (which is included from git-{clone,fetch,push}.txt) several item lists are surrounded by example block markers. This is problematic for two reasons: - None of these lists are example lists, so they should not be marked as such semantically. - The html output looks weird (bulleted list with left sidebar). Therefore, remove the example block markers. Output by the man backend is unaffected. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-03-12git-notes(1): add a section about the meaning of historyLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+14
To the displaying code, the only interesting thing about a notes ref is that it has a tree of the required format. However, notes actually have a history since they are recorded as successive commits. Make a note about the existence of this history in the manpage, but keep some doors open if we want to change the details.

2010-03-12notes: implement helpers needed for note copying during rewriteLibravatar Thomas Rast3-0/+38
Implement helper functions to load the rewriting config, and to actually copy the notes. Also document the config. Secondly, also implement an undocumented --for-rewrite=<cmd> option to 'git notes copy' which is used like --stdin, but also puts the configuration for <cmd> into effect. It will be needed to support the copying in git-rebase.

2010-03-12notes: implement 'git notes copy --stdin'Libravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+11
This implements a mass-copy command that takes a sequence of lines in the format <from-sha1> SP <to-sha1> [ SP <rest> ] LF on stdin, and copies each <from-sha1>'s notes to the <to-sha1>. The <rest> is ignored. The intent, of course, is that this can read the same input that the 'post-rewrite' hook gets. The copy_note() function is exposed for everyone's and in particular the next commit's use.

2010-03-12Documentation: document post-rewrite hookLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+34
This defines the behaviour of the post-rewrite hook support, which will be implemented in the following patches. We deliberately do not document how often the hook will be invoked per rewriting command, but the interface is designed to keep that at "once". This would currently not matter too much, since both rebase and filter-branch are shellscripts and spawn many processes anyway. However, when a fast sequencer in C is implemented, it will be beneficial to only have to run the hook once.

Colorize non-matching text of selected lines, context lines, and function name lines. The default for all three is no color, but they can be configured using color.grep.<slot>.

2010-03-08grep: Colorize filename, line number, and separatorLibravatar Mark Lodato1-3/+17
Colorize the filename, line number, and separator in git grep output, as GNU grep does. The colors are customizable through color.grep.<slot>. The default is to only color the separator (in cyan), since this gives the biggest legibility increase without overwhelming the user with colors. GNU grep also defaults cyan for the separator, but defaults to magenta for the filename and to green for the line number, as well. There is one difference from GNU grep: When a binary file matches without -a, GNU grep does not color the <file> in "Binary file <file> matches", but we do. Like GNU grep, if --null is given, the null separators are not colored. For config.txt, use a a sub-list to describe the slots, rather than a single paragraph with parentheses, since this is much more readable. Remove the cast to int for `rm_eo - rm_so` since it is not necessary. Signed-off-by: Mark Lodato <lodatom@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
