2010-01-14commit: allow suppression of implicit identity adviceLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
We now nag the user with a giant warning when their identity was pulled from the username, hostname, and gecos information, in case it is not correct. Most users will suppress this by simply setting up their information correctly. However, there may be some users who consciously want to use that information, because having the value change from host to host contains useful information. These users can now set advice.implicitidentity to false to suppress the message. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-11-22merge-recursive: point the user to commit when file would be overwritten.Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+1
The commit-before-pull is well accepted in the DVCS community, but is confusing some new users. This should get them back in the right way when the problem occurs. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-09-11status: make "how to stage" messages optionalLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
These messages are nice for new users, but experienced git users know how to manipulate the index, and these messages waste a lot of screen real estate. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-09-11push: make non-fast-forward help message configurableLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
This message is designed to help new users understand what has happened when refs fail to push. However, it does not help experienced users at all, and significantly clutters the output, frequently dwarfing the regular status table and making it harder to see. This patch introduces a general configuration mechanism for optional messages, with this push message as the first example.
