|\ | | | | | | | | | | * js/add-edit: t3702: fix reliance on SHELL_PATH being '/bin/sh' git-add: introduce --edit (to edit the diff vs. the index)
| * git-add: introduce --edit (to edit the diff vs. the index)Johannes Schindelin2009-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With "git add -e [<files>]", Git will fire up an editor with the current diff relative to the index (i.e. what you would get with "git diff [<files>]"). Now you can edit the patch as much as you like, including adding/removing lines, editing the text, whatever. Make sure, though, that the first character of the hunk lines is still a space, a plus or a minus. After you closed the editor, Git will adjust the line counts of the hunks if necessary, thanks to the --recount option of apply, and commit the patch. Except if you deleted everything, in which case nothing happens (for obvious reasons).

* | Update git-add.txt according to the new possibilities of 'git add -p'.Matthieu Moy2009-04-16

* | git add -p: new "quit" command at the prompt.Matthieu Moy2009-04-15
|/ | | | | | | | | There's already 'd' to stop staging hunks in a file, but no explicit command to stop the interactive staging (for the current files and the remaining ones). Of course you can do 'd' and then ^C, but it would be more intuitive to allow 'quit' action. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | git-add -i ranges expect number-number. But for the supremely lazy, typing in that second number when selecting "from patch 7 to the end" is wasted effort. So treat an empty second number in a range as "until the last item". Signed-off-by: Ciaran McCreesh <ciaran.mccreesh@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* git-add--interactive: manual hunk editing modeThomas Rast2008-07-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds a new option 'e' to the 'add -p' command loop that lets you edit the current hunk in your favourite editor. If the resulting patch applies cleanly, the edited hunk will immediately be marked for staging. If it does not apply cleanly, you will be given an opportunity to edit again. If all lines of the hunk are removed, then the edit is aborted and the hunk is left unchanged. Applying the changed hunk(s) relies on Johannes Schindelin's new --recount option for git-apply. Note that the "real patch" test intentionally uses (echo e; echo n; echo d) | git add -p even though the 'n' and 'd' are superfluous at first sight. They serve to get out of the interaction loop if git add -p wrongly concludes the patch does not apply. Many thanks to Jeff King <peff@peff.net> for lots of help and suggestions.

* Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Jonathan Nieder2008-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* git add: add long equivalents of '-u' and '-f' optionsSZEDER Gábor2008-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | The option -u stands for --update and it is a good idea to make it clear especially because this is the only mode of operation of "git add" that does something different from "adding". Give longer --force synonym to -f while we are at it as well. Signed-off-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder@ira.uka.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsStephan Beyer2008-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

This patch fixes that. In "git-pull.txt" only the last example had the code sample in an asciidoc "Listing Block", and in the other two files, none.

| | | | | | | | | | | | When the "--patch" option is supplied, the patch_update_cmd() function is called bypassing the main_loop() and exits. Seeing as builtin-add is the only caller of git-add--interactive we can impose a strict requirement on the format of the arguments to avoid possible ambiguity: an "--" argument must be used whenever any pathspecs are passed, both with the "--patch" option and without it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was a neat trick to show that you could introduce the git-add manual page without using the word "index", and it was certainly an improvement over the previous man page (which started out "A simple wrapper for git-update-index to add files to the index..."). But it's possible to use the standard terminology without sacrificing user-friendliness. So, rewrite to use the word "index" when appropriate. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
