| * Submodules: Use "ignore" settings from .gitmodules too for diff and statusJens Lehmann2010-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The .gitmodules file is parsed for "submodule.<name>.ignore" entries before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in .git/config will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the local developer to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting upstream set defaults for those users who don't have special needs.

| * Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for diff and statusJens Lehmann2010-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each submodule. The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept the new parameter "none" for both status and diff. Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan. This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff): "all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored. "dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules. "untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored, a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it as modified. "none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the "--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status" so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | * jl/maint-diff-ignore-submodules: t4027,4041: Use test -s to test for an empty file Add optional parameters to the diff option "--ignore-submodules" git diff: rename test that had a conflicting name
| * Add optional parameters to the diff option "--ignore-submodules"Jens Lehmann2010-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some use cases it is not desirable that the diff family considers submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules" option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content. Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they just contain changes to their work tree. An example for that are scripts which just want to check for submodule commits while ignoring any changes to the work tree. Also users having large submodules known not to change might want to use this option, as the - sometimes substantial - time it takes to scan the submodule work tree(s) is saved.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As an option to the "diff" family, it is fairly obvious what "detect renames" means. However, for revision traversal, the "-M" option is just included in the long list of options, with no indication that it is about showing renames in diffs versus following renames. Let's make it more explicit. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Also adds some compatibility/convenience options. Thanks to Junio C Hamano and Miles Bader for good ideas.

* | Add an optional argument for --color optionsMark Lodato2010-02-18
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make git-branch, git-show-branch, git-grep, and all the diff-based programs accept an optional argument <when> for --color. The argument is a colorbool: "always", "never", or "auto". If no argument is given, "always" is used; --no-color is an alias for --color=never. This makes the command-line interface consistent with other GNU tools, such as `ls' and `grep', and with the git-config color options. Note that, without an argument, --color and --no-color work exactly as before. To implement this, two internal changes were made: 1. Allow the first argument of git_config_colorbool() to be NULL, in which case it returns -1 if the argument isn't "always", "never", or "auto". 2. Add OPT_COLOR_FLAG(), OPT__COLOR(), and parse_opt_color_flag_cb() to the option parsing library. The callback uses git_config_colorbool(), so color.h is now a dependency of parse-options.c.

* Fix over-simplified documentation for 'git log -z'Björn Gustavsson2009-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 64485b4a, the documentation for 'git log -z' was simplified too much. The -z option actually changes the behavior of 'git log' in two ways: commits will be ended with a NUL instead of a LF (correctly documented) and the --raw and --numstat will have NUL as field terminators (omitted in the documentation for 'git log').

Also correct the description of the "munging" of pathanmes that takes place in the absence of -z for the 'git diff*' and 'git apply' commands, namely that apart from the characters mentioned, double quotes will also be escaped and that the pathname will be enclosed in double quotes if any characters are escaped.

However, -p is also needed in combination with certain options (e.g. --stat or --numstat) in order to produce any patch at all. The documentation does not mention this. Since the purpose of format-patch is to produce a patch that can be emailed, it does not make sense that certain combination of options will suppress the generation of the patch itself. Therefore: * Update 'git format-patch' to always generate a patch. * Since the --name-only, --name-status, and --check suppresses the generation of the patch, disallow those options, and remove the description of them in the documentation. * Remove the reference to -p in the description of -U. * Remove the descriptions of the options that are synonyms for -p plus another option (--patch-with-raw and --patch-with-stat). * While at it, slightly tweak the description of -p itself to say that it generates "plain patches", so that you can think of -p as "plain patch" as an mnemonic aid.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some applications, words are not delimited by white space. To allow for that, you can specify a regular expression describing what makes a word with git diff --color-words='[A-Za-z0-9]+' Note that words cannot contain newline characters. As suggested by Thomas Rast, the words are the exact matches of the regular expression. Note that a regular expression beginning with a '^' will match only a word at the beginning of the hunk, not a word at the beginning of a line, and is probably not what you want.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds --relative option to the diff family. When you start from a subdirectory: $ git diff --relative shows only the diff that is inside your current subdirectory, and without $prefix part. People who usually live in subdirectories may like it. There are a few things I should also mention about the change: - This works not just with diff but also works with the log family of commands, but the history pruning is not affected. In other words, if you go to a subdirectory, you can say: $ git log --relative -p but it will show the log message even for commits that do not touch the current directory. You can limit it by giving pathspec yourself: $ git log --relative -p . This originally was not a conscious design choice, but we have a way to affect diff pathspec and pruning pathspec independently. IOW "git log --full-diff -p ." tells it to prune history to commits that affect the current subdirectory but show the changes with full context. I think it makes more sense to leave pruning independent from --relative than the obvious alternative of always pruning with the current subdirectory, which would break the symmetry. - Because this works also with the log family, you could format-patch a single change, limiting the effect to your subdirectory, like so: $ cd gitk-git $ git format-patch -1 --relative 911f1eb But because that is a special purpose usage, this option will never become the default, with or without repository or user preference configuration. The risk of producing a partial patch and sending it out by mistake is too great if we did so. - This is inherently incompatible with --no-index, which is a bolted-on hack that does not have much to do with git itself. I didn't bother checking and erroring out on the combined use of the options, but probably I should. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitDan McGee2008-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]]. Bibliographic anchor. (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]] This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being matched by the wrong regex. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
