2020-02-14doc: move credential helper info into gitcredentials(7)Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+88
The details of how credential helpers can be called or implemented were originally covered in Documentation/technical/. Those are topics that end users might care about (and we even referenced them in the credentials manpage), but those docs typically don't ship as part of the end user documentation, making them less useful. This situation got slightly worse recently in f3b9055624 (credential: move doc to credential.h, 2019-11-17), where we moved them into the C header file, making them even harder to find. So let's move put this information into the gitcredentials(7) documentation, which is meant to describe the overall concepts of our credential handling. This was already pointing to the API docs for these concepts, so we can just include it inline instead. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-02-10config: add '--show-scope' to print the scope of a config valueLibravatar Matthew Rogers1-5/+10
When a user queries config values with --show-origin, often it's difficult to determine what the actual "scope" (local, global, etc.) of a given value is based on just the origin file. Teach 'git config' the '--show-scope' option to print the scope of all displayed config values. Note that we should never see anything of "submodule" scope as that is only ever used by submodule-config.c when parsing the '.gitmodules' file.

2020-02-10pack-format: correct multi-pack-index descriptionLibravatar Johannes Berg1-2/+3
The description of the multi-pack-index contains a small bug, if all offsets are < 2^32 then there will be no LOFF chunk, not only if they're all < 2^31 (since the highest bit is only needed as the "LOFF-escape" when that's actually needed.) Correct this, and clarify that in that case only offsets up to 2^31-1 can be stored in the OOFF chunk.

2020-02-09diff-options.txt: avoid "regex" overload in exampleLibravatar Martin Ågren1-4/+4
When we exemplify the difference between `-G` and `-S` (using `--pickaxe-regex`), we do so using an example diff and git-diff invocation involving "regexec", "regexp", "regmatch", ... The example is correct, but we can make it easier to untangle by avoiding writing "regex.*" unless it's really needed to make our point. Use some made-up, non-regexy words instead.

2020-02-04git-filter-branch.txt: wrap "maths" notation in backticksLibravatar Martin Ågren1-3/+3
In this paragraph, we have a few instances of the '^' character, which we give as "\^". This renders well with AsciiDoc ("^"), but Asciidoctor renders it literally as "\^". Dropping the backslashes renders fine with Asciidoctor, but not AsciiDoc... An earlier version of this patch used "{caret}" instead of "^", which avoided these escaping problems. The rendering was still so-so, though -- these expressions end up set as normal text, similarly to when one provides, e.g., computer code in the middle of running text, without properly marking it with `backticks` to be monospaced. As noted by Jeff King, this suggests actually wrapping these expressions in backticks, setting them in monospace. The lone "5" could be left as is or wrapped as `5`. Spell it out as "five" instead -- this generally looks better anyway for small numbers in the middle of text like this.

2020-02-04commit-graph.h: store an odb in 'struct write_commit_graph_context'Libravatar Taylor Blau1-1/+4
There are lots of places in 'commit-graph.h' where a function either has (or almost has) a full 'struct object_directory *', accesses '->path', and then throws away the rest of the struct. This can cause headaches when comparing the locations of object directories across alternates (e.g., in the case of deciding if two commit-graph layers can be merged). These paths are normalized with 'normalize_path_copy()' which mitigates some comparison issues, but not all [1]. Replace usage of 'char *object_dir' with 'odb->path' by storing a 'struct object_directory *' in the 'write_commit_graph_context' structure. This is an intermediate step towards getting rid of all path normalization in 'commit-graph.c'. Resolving a user-provided '--object-dir' argument now requires that we compare it to the known alternates for equality. Prior to this patch, an unknown '--object-dir' argument would silently exit with status zero. This can clearly lead to unintended behavior, such as verifying commit-graphs that aren't in a repository's own object store (or one of its alternates), or causing a typo to mask a legitimate commit-graph verification failure. Make this error non-silent by 'die()'-ing when the given '--object-dir' does not match any known alternate object store. [1]: In my testing, for example, I can get one side of the commit-graph code to fill object_dir with "./objects" and the other with just "objects".
