2013-06-27rebase -i: handle fixup! fixup! in --autosquashLibravatar Andrew Pimlott1-1/+3
In rebase -i --autosquash, ignore all "fixup! " or "squash! " after the first. This supports the case when a git commit --fixup/--squash referred to an earlier fixup/squash instead of the original commit (whether intentionally, as when the user expressly meant to note that the commit fixes an earlier fixup; or inadvertently, as when the user meant to refer to the original commit with :/msg; or out of laziness, as when the user could remember how to refer to the fixup but not the original). In the todo list, the full commit message is preserved, in case it provides useful cues to the user. A test helper set_cat_todo_editor is introduced to check this.

2013-06-26documentation: add git:// transport security noticeLibravatar Fraser Tweedale1-0/+3
The fact that the git:// transport does no authentication is easily overlooked. For example, DNS poisoning may result in fetching from somewhere that was not intended.

2013-06-23user-manual: Update download size for Git and the kernelLibravatar W. Trevor King1-3/+3
They've grown since d19fbc3 (Documentation: add git user's manual, 2007-01-07) when the stats were initially added. I've rounded download sizes up to the nearest multiple of ten MiB to decrease the precision and give a bit of growing room.

2013-06-22Documentation: Update the NFS remote examples to use the staging repoLibravatar W. Trevor King2-19/+32
linux-nfs.org seems to have restructured their repository layout since 8391c60 (git-remote.txt: fix example url, 2007-11-02), and Bruce's repo is now at git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/bfields/linux.git. Bruce also has a more richer internal branch structure (master, everything, for-3.1, ...), so updating the existing example to use his current repo may be confusing. To simplify, I've replaced the NFS repo with Greg's staging repo. I've also updated the output of the surrounding commands to match the output of a current run through. Signed-off-by: W.

2013-06-22doc/clone: Pick more compelling paths for the --reference exampleLibravatar W. Trevor King1-4/+4
There may be times when using one of your local repositories as a reference for a new clone make sense, but the implied version-bump in the old example isn't one of them.
