2013-12-12Merge branch 'mh/fetch-tags-in-addition-to-normal-refs'Libravatar Junio C Hamano4-30/+34
The "--tags" option to "git fetch" used to be literally a synonym to a "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec, which meant that (1) as an explicit refspec given from the command line, it silenced the lazy "git fetch" default that is configured, and (2) also as an explicit refspec given from the command line, it interacted with "--prune" to remove any tag that the remote we are fetching from does not have. This demotes it to an option; with it, we fetch all tags in addition to what would be fetched without the option, and it does not interact with the decision "--prune" makes to see what remote-tracking refs the local has are missing the remote counterpart. * mh/fetch-tags-in-addition-to-normal-refs: (23 commits) fetch: improve the error messages emitted for conflicting refspecs handle_duplicate(): mark error message for translation ref_remote_duplicates(): extract a function handle_duplicate() ref_remove_duplicates(): simplify loop logic t5536: new test of refspec conflicts when fetching ref_remove_duplicates(): avoid redundant bisection git-fetch.txt: improve description of tag auto-following fetch-options.txt: simplify ifdef/ifndef/endif usage fetch, remote: properly convey --no-prune options to subprocesses builtin/remote.c:update(): use struct argv_array builtin/remote.c: reorder function definitions query_refspecs(): move some constants out of the loop fetch --prune: prune only based on explicit refspecs fetch --tags: fetch tags *in addition to* other stuff fetch: only opportunistically update references based on command line get_expanded_map(): avoid memory leak get_expanded_map(): add docstring builtin/fetch.c: reorder function definitions get_ref_map(): rename local variables api-remote.txt: correct section "struct refspec" ...

2013-12-05Merge branch 'jc/ref-excludes'Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-0/+29
People often wished a way to tell "git log --branches" (and "git log --remotes --not --branches") to exclude some local branches from the expansion of "--branches" (similarly for "--tags", "--all" and "--glob=<pattern>"). Now they have one. * jc/ref-excludes: rev-parse: introduce --exclude=<glob> to tame wildcards rev-list --exclude: export add/clear-ref-exclusion and ref-excluded API rev-list --exclude: tests document --exclude option revision: introduce --exclude=<glob> to tame wildcards

2013-11-27Documentation: revamp git-cherry(1)Libravatar Thomas Rast1-33/+110
git-cherry(1)'s "description" section has never really managed to explain to me what the command does. It contains too much explanation of the algorithm instead of simply saying what goals it achieves, and too much terminology that we otherwise do not use (fork-point instead of merge-base). Try a much more concise approach: state what it finds out, why this is neat, and how the output is formatted, in a few short paragraphs. In return, provide much longer examples of how it fits into a "format-patch | am" based workflow, and how it compares to reading the same from git-log. Also carefully avoid using "merge" in a context where it does not mean something that comes from git-merge(1). Instead, say "apply" in an attempt to further link to patch workflow concepts. While there, also omit the language about _which_ upstream branch we treat as the default. I literally just learned that we support having several, so let's not confuse new users here, especially considering that git-config(1) does not document this.

Introduce %(upstream:track) to display "[ahead M, behind N]" and %(upstream:trackshort) to display "=", ">", "<", or "<>" appropriately (inspired by contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh). Now you can use the following format in for-each-ref: %(refname:short)%(upstream:trackshort) to display refs with terse tracking information. Note that :track and :trackshort only work with "upstream", and error out when used with anything else.

'git branch' shows which branch you are currently on with an '*', but 'git for-each-ref' misses this feature. So, extend its format with %(HEAD) for the same effect.

2013-11-18Documentation/rev-list-options.txt: fix mark-upLibravatar Jason St. John1-148/+78
Some the labeled list entries have a blank line between the label and the body text, and some don't. Use the latter style for consistency; incidentally, syntax highlighting in Vim works better if there is no blank line there. Typeset literal options, commands, and path names in monospace. When using `literal string` mark-up to do so, there is no need to escape AsciiDoc special characters with backslashes, so make sure we don't do so. Replace some double quotes with proper AsciiDoc quotes (e.g. ``foo''). Signed-off-by: Jason St. John <jstjohn@purdue.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-11-18State correct usage of literal examples in man pages in the coding standardsLibravatar Jason St. John1-3/+31
The man pages contain inconsistent usage of backticks vs. single quotes around options, commands, etc. that are in paragraphs. This commit states that backticks should always be used around literal examples. This commit states that "--" and friends should not be escaped (e.g. use `--pretty=oneline` instead of `\--pretty=oneline`). This commit also states correct usage for typesetting command usage examples with inline substitutions.
