* Make for-each-ref's grab_date() support per-atom formattingAndy Parkins2007-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | grab_date() gets an extra parameter - atomname; this extra parameter is checked to see if it has a ":<format>" extra component in it, and if so that "<format>" string is passed to parse_date_format() to produce an enum date_mode value which is then further passed to show_date(). In short it allows the user of git-for-each-ref to do things like this: $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:default)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 Sun May 20 00:30:42 2007 -0700 $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:relative)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 4 months ago $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:short)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 2007-05-20 $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:local)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 Sun May 20 08:30:42 2007 $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:iso8601)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 2007-05-20 00:30:42 -0700 $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:rfc2822)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 Sun, 20 May 2007 00:30:42 -0700 The default, when no ":<format>" is specified is ":default", leaving the existing behaviour unchanged.

* git-for-each-ref doesn't return "the bit after $GIT_DIR/refs"Andy Parkins2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | The documentation for git-for-each-ref said that the refname variable would return "the part after $GIT_DIR/refs/", which isn't true. Signed-off-by: Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Teach for-each-ref about a little language called Tcl.Shawn O. Pearce2007-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Love it or hate it, some people actually still program in Tcl. Some of those programs are meant for interfacing with Git. Programs such as gitk and git-gui. It may be useful to have Tcl-safe output available from for-each-ref, just like shell, Perl and Python already enjoy. Thanks to Sergey Vlasov for pointing out the horrible flaws in the first and second version of this patch, and steering me in the right direction for Tcl value quoting. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* Documentation: fix git-format-patch mark-up and link it from git.txtJunio C Hamano2006-10-28
| | | | | | | | Two asterisks the SYNOPSIS section were mistaken as emphasis, and the latter backtick in "`<key>`s" were not recognized as closing backtick. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Documentation: Update information about <format> in git-for-each-refJakub Narebski2006-10-28
| | | | | | | | | Update information about value of <format> used when it is left unspecified. Add information about `%%` and `%xx` interpolation (URL encoding). Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-for-each-ref: improve the documentation on scripting modesAndy Whitcroft2006-09-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | When reading the synopsis for git-for-each-ref it is easy to miss the obvious power of --shell and family. Call this feature out in the primary paragragh. Also add more description to the examples to indicate which features we are demonstrating. Finally add a very simple eval based example in addition to the very complex one to give a gentler introduction.

* Add git-for-each-ref: helper for language bindingsJunio C Hamano2006-09-16
This adds a new command, git-for-each-ref. You can have it iterate over refs and have it output various aspects of the objects they refer to. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
