2012-05-17git-svn: clarify the referent of dcommit's optional argumentLibravatar Jon Seymour1-20/+19
The documentation of the dcommit subcommand is reworded to clarify that the optional argument refers to a git branch, not an SVN branch. The discussion of the optional argument is put into its own paragraph as is the guidance about using 'dcommit' in preference to 'set-tree'. The section on REBASE vs. PULL/MERGE is reworded to incorporate the advice to prefer 'git rebase' previously in the description of 'dcommit'.

2012-05-16git-svn: support rebase --preserve-mergesLibravatar Avishay Lavie1-0/+2
When git svn rebase is performed after an unpushed merge, the rebase operation follows both parents and replays both the user's local commits and those from the merged branch. This is usually not the intended behavior. This patch adds support for the --preserve-merges/-p flag which allows for a better workflow by re-applying merge commits as merges.

There is no reason not to, as the user has to explicitly ask for it, so we are not breaking compatibility by doing so. We can do this simply by moving the "show_branch" flag into the wt_status struct. As a bonus, this saves us from passing it explicitly, simplifying the code. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
2012-05-07index-pack: support multithreaded delta resolvingLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+10
This puts delta resolving on each base on a separate thread, one base cache per thread. Per-thread data is grouped in struct thread_local. When running with nr_threads == 1, no pthreads calls are made. The system essentially runs in non-thread mode. An experiment on a Xeon 24 core machine with git.git shows that performance does not increase proportional to the number of cores. So by default, we use maximum 3 cores.

New users tend to work on one branch at a time and push the result out.

2012-04-30diff --stat: use less columns for change countsLibravatar Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek1-2/+2
Number of columns required for change counts is now computed based on the maximum number of changed lines instead of being fixed. This means that usually a few more columns will be available for the filenames and the graph. The graph width logic is also modified to include enough space for "Bin XXX -> YYY bytes". If changes to binary files are mixed with changes to text files, change counts are padded to take at least three columns. And the other way around, if change counts require more than three columns, then "Bin"s are padded to align with the change count. This way, the +- part starts in the same column as "XXX -> YYY" part for binary files. This makes the graph easier to parse visually thanks to the empty column. This mimics the layout of diff --stat before this change. Tests and the tutorial are updated to reflect the new --stat output. This means either the removal of extra padding and/or the addition of up to three extra characters to truncated filenames. One test is added to check the graph alignment when a binary file change and text file change of more than 999 lines are committed together.
