2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-13/+13
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

Mostly making the formatted html prettier. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> (cherry picked from 7adf1f15ebe074d4767df941817a6cf86d8e2533 commit)
2005-08-17[PATCH] use it's and its correctly in documentationLibravatar Greg Louis1-5/+5
At one place in Documentation/tutorial.txt and several in the base README, its was wrongly used in place of it's or vice versa. One instance remains somewhere in Documentation/howto/, which I didn't correct because it's in a quotation.

2005-07-08[PATCH] Expose object ID computation functions.Libravatar Bryan Larsen1-2/+2
This patch makes the first half of write_sha1_file() and index_fd() externally visible, to allow callers to compute the object ID without actually storing it in the object database. [JC demangled the whitespaces himself because he liked the patch so much, and reworked the interface to index_fd() slightly, taking suggestion from Linus and of his own.] Signed-off-by: Bryan Larsen <bryan.larsen@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-27[PATCH] Remove "delta" object representation.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-31/+4
Packed delta files created by git-pack-objects seems to be the way to go, and existing "delta" object handling code has exposed the object representation details to too many places. Remove it while we refactor code to come up with a proper interface in sha1_file.c. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-05-11More README spelling fixesLibravatar Petr Baudis1-2/+2
Two other README spelling fixes. I wasn't able to pinpoint the relevant commit in the cogito branch, but they are fairly trivial anyway.

2005-05-09Rename environment variables.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
H. Peter Anvin mentioned that using SHA1_whatever as an environment variable name is not nice and we should instead use names starting with "GIT_" prefix to avoid conflicts. Here is what this patch does: * Renames the following environment variables: New name Old Name GIT_AUTHOR_DATE AUTHOR_DATE GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL AUTHOR_EMAIL GIT_AUTHOR_NAME AUTHOR_NAME GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL GIT_COMMITTER_NAME COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY * Introduces a compatibility macro, gitenv(), which does an getenv() and if it fails calls gitenv_bc(), which in turn picks up the value from old name while giving a warning about using an old name. * Changes all users of the environment variable to fetch environment variable with the new name using gitenv(). * Updates the documentation and scripts shipped with Linus GIT distribution. The transition plan is as follows: * We will keep the backward compatibility list used by gitenv() for now, so the current scripts and user environments continue to work as before. The users will get warnings when they have old name but not new name in their environment to the stderr. * The Porcelain layers should start using new names. However, just in case it ends up calling old Plumbing layer implementation, they should also export old names, taking values from the corresponding new names, during the transition period. * After a transition period, we would drop the compatibility support and drop gitenv(). Revert the callers to directly call getenv() but keep using the new names. The last part is probably optional and the transition duration needs to be set to a reasonable value.

2005-04-17Update README to reflect the hierarchical tree objects,Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-109/+401
and other newfangled things like merging. Also, talk more about the actual operations, and give some rough examples of what you can do.
2005-04-11Rename ".dircache" directory to ".git"Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
I started out calling the tool "dircache". That's clearly moronic.
