2008-02-11Define the project whitespace policyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
This establishes what the "bad" whitespaces are for this project. The rules are: - Unless otherwise specified, indent with SP that could be replaced with HT are not "bad". But SP before HT in the indent is "bad", and trailing whitespaces are "bad". - For C source files, initial indent by SP that can be replaced with HT is also "bad". - Test scripts in t/ and test vectors in its subdirectories can contain anything, so we make it unrestricted for now. Anything "bad" will be shown in WHITESPACE error indicator in diff output, and "apply --whitespace=warn" will warn about it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

I was able to solve this problem with this patch, which adds a XSL file used specifically for DOCBOOK_XSL_172=YesPlease and where dots and backslashes are escaped properly so they won't be substituted to the wrong thing further down the "DocBook XSL pipeline". Doing the escaping in the existing callout.xsl breaks v1.70.1. Hopefully v1.73 will end this part of the manpage nightmare. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-02-09Introduce the config variable pack.packSizeLimitLibravatar Johannes Schindelin2-1/+8
"git pack-objects" has the option --max-pack-size to limit the file size of the packs to a certain amount of bytes. On platforms where the pack file size is limited by filesystem constraints, it is easy to forget this option, and this option does not exist for "git gc" to begin with. So introduce a config variable to set the default maximum, but make this overrideable by the command line. Suggested by Tor Arvid Lund.

2008-02-05git-send-email: Generalize auto-cc recipient mechanism.Libravatar David Brown1-0/+11
There are a few options to git-send-email to suppress the automatic generation of 'Cc' fields: --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc. However, there are other times that git-send-email automatically includes Cc'd recipients. This is not desirable for all development environments. Add a new option --suppress-cc, which can be specified one or more times to list the categories of auto-cc fields that should be suppressed. If not specified, it defaults to values to give the same behavior as specified by --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc. The categories are: self - patch sender. Same as --suppress-from. author - patch author. cc - cc lines mentioned in the patch. cccmd - avoid running the cccmd. sob - signed off by lines. all - all non-explicit recipients Signed-off-by: David Brown <git@davidb.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-02-05git-send-email: ssh/login style password requestsLibravatar Michael Witten1-5/+34
Whilst convenient, it is most unwise to record passwords in any place but one's brain. Moreover, it is especially foolish to store them in configuration files, even with access permissions set accordingly. git-send-email has been amended, so that if it detects an smtp username without a password, it promptly prompts for the password and masks the input for privacy. Furthermore, the argument to --smtp-pass has been rendered optional. The documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.

2008-01-16close_lock_file(): new function in the lockfile APILibravatar Brandon Casey1-3/+12
The lockfile API is a handy way to obtain a file that is cleaned up if you die(). But sometimes you would need this sequence to work: 1. hold_lock_file_for_update() to get a file descriptor for writing; 2. write the contents out, without being able to decide if the results should be committed or rolled back; 3. do something else that makes the decision --- and this "something else" needs the lockfile not to have an open file descriptor for writing (e.g. Windows do not want a open file to be renamed); 4. call commit_lock_file() or rollback_lock_file() as appropriately. This adds close_lock_file() you can call between step 2 and 3 in the above sequence. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
