2007-07-09Support wholesale directory renames in fast-importLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-3/+25
Some source material (e.g. Subversion dump files) perform directory renames without telling us exactly which files in that subdirectory were moved. This makes it hard for a frontend to convert such data formats to a fast-import stream, as all the frontend has on hand is "Rename a/ to b/" with no details about what files are in a/, unless the frontend also kept track of all files. The new 'R' subcommand within a commit allows the frontend to rename either a file or an entire subdirectory, without needing to know the object's SHA-1 or the specific files contained within it. The rename is performed as efficiently as possible internally, making it cheaper than a 'D'/'M' pair for a file rename. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2007-07-09Clarify documentation of fast-import's D subcommandLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-3/+5
The 'D' subcommand within a commit can also delete a directory recursively. This wasn't clear in the prior version of the documentation, leading to a question on the mailing list. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

2007-07-08branch.autosetupmerge: allow boolean values, or "all"Libravatar Johannes Schindelin2-3/+7
Junio noticed that switching on autosetupmerge unilaterally started cluttering the config for local branches. That is not the original intention of branch.autosetupmerge, which was meant purely for convenience when branching off of remote branches, but that semantics got lost somewhere. If you still want that "new" behavior, you can switch branch.autosetupmerge to the value "all". Otherwise, it is interpreted as a boolean, which triggers setting up defaults _only_ when branching off of a remote branch, i.e. the originally intended behavior.

2007-07-08user-manual: more explanation of push and pull usageLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-1/+18
Recently a user on the mailing list complained that they'd read the manual but couldn't figure out how to keep a couple private repositories in sync. They'd tried using push, and were surprised by the effect. Add a little text in an attempt to make it clear that: - Pushing to a branch that is checked out will have odd results. - It's OK to synchronize just using pull if that's simpler. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

- "method of" is vulgar, "method for" is nicer - "recovery" becomes "recovering" from Steve Hoelzer's original version of this patch - "if you want" is nicer as "if you wish" - "you may" should be "you can"; "you may" is "you have permission to" rather than "you can"'s "it is possible to" Signed-off-by: Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: "J.

2007-07-06Enable "git rerere" by the config variable rerere.enabledLibravatar Johannes Schindelin2-2/+7
Earlier, "git rerere" was enabled by creating the directory .git/rr-cache. That is definitely not in line with most other features, which are enabled by a config variable. So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set to "false" explicitely, do not activate rerere, even if .git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable rerere temporarily. If "rerere.enabled" is not set at all, fall back to detection of the directory .git/rr-cache.

2007-07-06Add [verse] to the SYNOPSIS section of git-submodule.txt.Libravatar Matt Kraai1-0/+1
The SYNOPSIS section of git-submodule.txt contains two forms. Since it doesn't use the verse style, the line boundary between them is not preserved and the second form can appear on the same line as the first form. Adding [verse] enables the verse style, which preserves the line boundary between them. Signed-off-by: Matt Kraai <kraai@ftbfs.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-07-05Add urls.txt to git-clone man pageLibravatar Andrew Ruder6-59/+63
Since git-clone is one of the many commands taking URLs to remote repositories as an argument, it should include the URL-types list from urls.txt. Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt. The latter should be used by anything besides git-clone where a discussion of using .git/config and .git/remotes/ to name URLs just doesn't make as much sense.

2007-07-03Add diff-option --ext-diffLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+8
To prevent funky games with external diff engines, git-log and friends prevent external diff engines from being called. That makes sense in the context of git-format-patch or git-rebase. However, for "git log -p" it is not so nice to get the message that binary files cannot be compared, while "git diff" has no problems with them, if you provided an external diff driver. With this patch, "git log --ext-diff -p" will do what you expect, and the option "--no-ext-diff" can be used to override that setting.

2007-07-02git-submodule: provide easy way of adding new submodulesLibravatar Sven Verdoolaege1-0/+11
To make a submodule effectively usable, the path and a URL where the submodule can be cloned need to be stored in .gitmodules. This subcommand takes care of setting this information after cloning the new submodule. Only the index is updated, so, if needed, the user may still change the URL or switch to a different branch of the submodule before committing.
