2013-06-24Revert "Merge branch 'jg/status-config'"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+0
This reverts commit 1a22bd31f0a5130ce6c934951a5526ceb774c2be, reversing changes made to 3e7a5b489e45ae8a3a0b222893d58b172d883136. It makes it impossible to "git commit" when status.short is set, and also "git status --porcelain" output is affected by status.branch.

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.

While both GUI and console Cygwin browsers do exist, anecdotal evidence suggests most users rely on their native Windows browser. cygstart, which is a long-standing part of the base Cygwin installation, will cause the page to be opened in the default Windows browser (the one registered to open .html files).

2013-06-18Documentation: Move "git diff <blob> <blob>"Libravatar Kevin Bracey1-7/+7

2013-06-18Documentation/git-merge.txt: weaken warning about uncommited changesLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+2
Commit 35d2fffd introduced 'git merge --abort' as a synonym to 'git reset --merge', and added some failing tests in t7611-merge-abort.sh (search '###' in this file) showing that 'git merge --abort' could not always recover the pre-merge state. Still, in many cases, 'git merge --abort' just works, and it is usually considered that the ability to start a merge with uncommited changes is an important property of Git. Weaken the warning by discouraging only merge with /non-trivial/ uncommited changes. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-06-18Documentation/git-push.txt: explain better cases where --force is dangerousLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+9
The behavior of "git push --force" is rather clear when it updates only one remote ref, but running it when pushing several branches can really be dangerous.

2013-06-17stash: introduce 'git stash store'Libravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-0/+7
save_stash() contains the logic for doing two potentially independent operations; the first is preparing the stash merge commit, and the second is updating the stash ref/ reflog accordingly. While the first operation is abstracted out into a create_stash() for callers to access via 'git stash create', the second one is not. Fix this by factoring out the logic for storing the stash into a store_stash() that callers can access via 'git stash store'. Like create, store is not intended for end user interactive use, but for callers in other scripts. We can simplify the logic in the rebase.autostash feature using this new subcommand.
