2006-11-29tutorial: talk about user.name early and don't start with commit -aLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+24
Introducing yourself to git early would be a good idea; otherwise the user may not find the mistake until much later when "git log" is learned. Teaching "commit -a" without saying that it is a shortcut for listing the paths to commit leaves the user puzzled. Teach the form with explicit paths first.

2006-11-22Move --pretty options into Documentation/pretty-formats.txtLibravatar Chris Riddoch5-15/+83
Asciidoc-include it into the manuals for programs that use the --pretty command-line option, for consistency among the docs. This describes all the pretty-formats currently listed in the cmit_fmt enum in commit.h, and also briefly describes the presence and format of the 'Merge: ' line in some pretty formats. There's a hedge that limiting your view of history can affect what goes in the Merge: line, and that --abbrev/--no-abbrev do nothing to the 'raw' format.

2006-11-09git-svn: fix dcommit losing changes when out-of-date from svnLibravatar Eric Wong1-0/+1
There was a bug in dcommit (and commit-diff) which caused deltas to be generated against the latest version of the changed file in a repository, and not the revision we are diffing (the tree) against locally. This bug can cause recent changes to the svn repository to be silently clobbered by git-svn if our repository is out-of-date. Thanks to Steven Grimm for noticing the bug. The (few) people using the commit-diff command are now required to use the -r/--revision argument. dcommit usage is unchanged.

This makes both git-fetch and git-push (fetch-pack and receive-pack) safe against a possible race with aparallel git-repack -a -d that could prune the new pack while it is not yet referenced, and remove the .keep file after refs have been updated.

2006-11-03improve fetch-pack's handling of kept packsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+2
Since functions in fetch-clone.c were only used from fetch-pack.c, its content has been merged with fetch-pack.c. This allows for better coupling of features with much simpler implementations. One new thing is that the (abscence of) --thin also enforce it on index-pack now, such that index-pack will abort if a thin pack was _not_ asked for. The -k or --keep, when provided twice, now causes the fetched pack to be left as a kept pack just like receive-pack currently does. Eventually this will be used to close a race against concurrent repacking. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-11-03Teach receive-pack how to keep pack files based on object count.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-1/+10
Since keeping a pushed pack or exploding it into loose objects should be a local repository decision this teaches receive-pack to decide if it should call unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin --fix-thin based on the setting of receive.unpackLimit and the number of objects contained in the received pack. If the number of objects (hdr_entries) in the received pack is below the value of receive.unpackLimit (which is 5000 by default) then we unpack-objects as we have in the past. If the hdr_entries >= receive.unpackLimit then we call index-pack and ask it to include our pid and hostname in the .keep file to make it easier to identify why a given pack has been kept in the repository. Currently this leaves every received pack as a kept pack. We really don't want that as received packs will tend to be small. Instead we want to delete the .keep file automatically after all refs have been updated. That is being left as room for future improvement. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

2006-10-29Teach git-index-pack how to keep a pack file.Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-3/+21
To prevent a race condition between `index-pack --stdin` and `repack -a -d` where the repack deletes the newly created pack file before any refs are updated to reference objects contained within it we mark the pack file as one that should be kept. This removes it from the list of packs that `repack -a -d` will consider for removal. Callers such as `receive-pack` which want to invoke `index-pack` should use this new --keep option to prevent the newly created pack and index file pair from being deleted before they have finished any related ref updates. Only after all ref updates have been finished should the associated .keep file be removed. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
