2008-02-19push: document the status outputLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+49
The output was meant to be a balance of self-explanatory and terse. In case we have erred too far on the terse side, it doesn't hurt to explain in more detail what each line means. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-02-19Documentation/push: clarify matching refspec behaviorLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
The previous text was correct, but it was easy to miss the fact that we are talking about "matching" refs. That is, the text can be parsed as "we push the union of the sets of remote and local heads" and not "we push the intersection of the sets of remote and local heads". (The former actually doesn't make sense if you think about it, since we don't even _have_ some of those heads). A careful reading would reveal the correct meaning, but it makes sense to be as explicit as possible in documentation. We also explicitly use and introduce the term "matching"; this is a term discussed on the list, and it seems useful to for users to be able to refer to this behavior by name.

2008-02-16Documentation/git-reset: don't mention --mixed for selected-paths resetLibravatar Pieter de Bie1-2/+2
The option is accepted, but that is the only form selected-paths variant of the reset command takes, so there is no point mentioning it. And while we're at it, use the dashless git call. Signed-off-by: Pieter de Bie <pdebie@ai.rug.nl> 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>

2008-01-16close_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>
