2007-12-08git-bisect visualize: work in non-windowed environments betterLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+10
This teaches "git bisect visualize" to be more useful in non-windowed environments. (1) When no option is given, and $DISPLAY is set, it continues to spawn gitk as before; (2) When no option is given, and $DISPLAY is unset, "git log" is run to show the range of commits between the bad one and the good ones; (3) If only "-flag" options are given, "git log <options>" is run. E.g. "git bisect visualize --stat" (4) Otherwise, all of the given options are taken as the initial part of the command line and the commit range expression is given to that command. E.g. "git bisect visualize tig" will run "tig" history viewer to show between the bad one and the good ones. As "visualize" is a bit too long to type, we also give it a shorter synonym "view".

2007-12-06git-status documentation: mention subdirectory behaviourLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
Consistently with all other diff oriented commands, we have given paths relative to the work tree root in git-status output for a long time. This documents the recent behaviour change, as people's eyes (and worse yet, scripts, although scripts should not parse "git status" output) may depend on the old behaviour. In the longer run, giving a --full-name option to git-diff Porcelain similar to what ls-files has, and change the default for git-diff Porcelain to show relative paths may be a good thing to do, in order to hide the oddballness of this git-status behaviour, but that would have a rather large impact to established expectation by existing users.

2007-12-06Use gitattributes to define per-path whitespace ruleLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+31
The `core.whitespace` configuration variable allows you to define what `diff` and `apply` should consider whitespace errors for all paths in the project (See gitlink:git-config[1]). This attribute gives you finer control per path. For example, if you have these in the .gitattributes: frotz whitespace nitfol -whitespace xyzzy whitespace=-trailing all types of whitespace problems known to git are noticed in path 'frotz' (i.e. diff shows them in diff.whitespace color, and apply warns about them), no whitespace problem is noticed in path 'nitfol', and the default types of whitespace problems except "trailing whitespace" are noticed for path 'xyzzy'. A project with mixed Python and C might want to have: *.c whitespace *.py whitespace=-indent-with-non-tab in its toplevel .gitattributes file. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-05Color support for "git-add -i"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+12
This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it simpler and more consistent with commands written in C. A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color. A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text. For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape sequence to color the output text. $repo->get_colorbool() method can be used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-05git config --get-colorboolLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+10
This adds an option to help scripts find out color settings from the configuration file. git config --get-colorbool color.diff inspects color.diff variable, and exits with status 0 (i.e. success) if color is to be used. It exits with status 1 otherwise. If a script wants "true"/"false" answer to the standard output of the command, it can pass an additional boolean parameter to its command line, telling if its standard output is a terminal, like this: git config --get-colorbool color.diff true When called like this, the command outputs "true" to its standard output if color is to be used (i.e. "color.diff" says "always", "auto", or "true"), and "false" otherwise.

2007-12-03git-commit --allow-emptyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+7
It does not usually make sense to record a commit that has the exact same tree as its sole parent commit and that is why git-commit prevents you from making such a mistake, but when data from foreign scm is involved, it is a different story. We are equipped to represent such an (perhaps insane, perhaps by mistake, or perhaps done on purpose) empty change, and it is better to represent it bypassing the safety valve for native use. This is primarily for use by foreign scm interface scripts. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-12-02Add 'git fast-export', the sister of 'git fast-import'Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+83
This program dumps (parts of) a git repository in the format that fast-import understands. For clarity's sake, it does not use the 'inline' method of specifying blobs in the commits, but builds the blobs before building the commits. Since signed tags' signatures will not necessarily be valid (think transformations after the export, or excluding revisions, changing the history), there are 4 modes to handle them: abort (default), ignore, warn and strip. The latter just turns the tags into unsigned ones. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-11-30Add "--expire <time>" option to 'git prune'Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+4
Earlier, 'git prune' would prune all loose unreachable objects. This could be quite dangerous, as the objects could be used in an ongoing operation. This patch adds a mode to expire only loose, unreachable objects which are older than a certain time. For example, by git prune --expire 14.days you can prune only those objects which are loose, unreachable and older than 14 days (and thus probably outdated). The implementation uses st.st_mtime rather than st.st_ctime, because it can be tested better, using 'touch -d <time>' (and omitting the test when the platform does not support that command line switch).
