2013-05-09git-svn: added an --include-path flagLibravatar Paul Walmsley1-0/+12
The SVN::Fetcher module is now able to filter for inclusion as well as exclusion (as used by --ignore-path). Also added tests, documentation changes and git completion script. If you have an SVN repository with many top level directories and you only want a git-svn clone of some of them then using --ignore-path is difficult as it requires a very long regexp. In this case it's much easier to filter for inclusion. [ew: remove trailing whitespace] Signed-off-by: Paul Walmsley <pjwhams@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

2013-04-26Merge branch 'jn/glossary-revision'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+1
The wording for "revision" in the glossary wanted to say it refers to "commit (noun) as a concept" but it was badly phrased. This may need further updates to hint that in contexts where it is clear, the word may refer to an object name, not necessarily a commit. But the patch as-is is already an improvement. * jn/glossary-revision: glossary: a revision is just a commit

2013-04-24remote: 'show' and 'prune' can take more than one remoteLibravatar Thomas Rast1-2/+2
The 'git remote show' and 'prune' subcommands are documented as taking only a single remote name argument, but that is not the case; they will simply iterate the action over all remotes given. Update the documentation and tests to match. With the last user of the -f flag gone, we also remove the code supporting it.

2013-04-22git add: --ignore-removal is a better named --no-allLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+6
In the historical context of "git add --all ." that pays attention to "all kinds of changes" (implying "without ignoring removals"), the option to countermand it "--no-all" may have made sense, but because we will be making "--all" the default when a pathspec is given, it makes more sense to rename the option to a more explicit "--ignore-removal". The "--all" option naturally becomes its negation, "--no-ignore-removal". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-04-21git-shortlog.txt: make SYNOPSIS match log, update OPTIONSLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-2/+17
There are broadly two problems with the current SYNOPSIS. First, it completely omits the detail that paths can be specified. Second, it attempts to list all the options: this is futile as, in addition to the options unique to it, it accepts all the options that git-rev-list accepts. In fixing these problems, make the SYNOPSIS consistent with that in git-log.txt. Also add the corresponding sections to OPTIONS. Save adding the options from rev-list-options.txt for a later patch, as it requires some work to pick out the options that are relevant to shortlog.

2013-04-21git-log.txt: rewrite note on why "--" may be requiredLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-2/+2
In its current form, the note talks about separating options from "branch names" and "refnames" in the same sentence. This is entirely inaccurate, as <revision range> need not be a set of branch names or ref names. Rewrite it to use the word "revision range", to be consistent with the SYNOPSIS.

2013-04-21git-log.txt: generalize <since>..<until>Libravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-7/+9
