* Add custom subject prefix support to format-patch (take 3)Robin H. Johnson2007-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | Add a new option to git-format-patch, entitled --subject-prefix that allows control of the subject prefix '[PATCH]'. Using this option, the text 'PATCH' is replaced with whatever input is provided to the option. This allows easily generating patches like '[PATCH 2.6.21-rc3]' or properly numbered series like '[-mm3 PATCH N/M]'. This patch provides the implementation and documentation. Signed-off-by: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Merge branch 'js/attach'Junio C Hamano2007-03-10
|\ | | | | | | | | | | * js/attach: format-patch --attach: not folding some long headers. format-patch: add --inline option and make --attach a true attachment
| * format-patch: add --inline option and make --attach a true attachmentJohannes Schindelin2007-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing --attach option did not create a true "attachment" but multipart/mixed with Content-Disposition: inline. It should have been with Content-Disposition: attachment. Introduce --inline to add multipart/mixed that is inlined, and make --attach to create an attachement.

* | Fix diff-options references in git-diff and git-format-patchBrian Gernhardt2007-03-05
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the git-diff-* documentation used [<common diff options>] instead of [--diff-options], so make that change in git-diff and git-format-patch. In addition, git-format-patch didn't include the meanings of the diff options. Signed-off-by: Brian Gernhardt <benji@silverinsanity.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* git-format-patch: the default suffix is now .patch, not .txtJunio C Hamano2007-01-17
| | | | | | | Editors often give easier handling of patch files if the filename ends with .patch, so use it instead of .txt. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-format-patch -3Junio C Hamano2007-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | This teaches "git-format-patch" to honor the --max-count parameter revision traversal machinery takes, so that you can say "git-format-patch -3" to process the three topmost commits from the current HEAD (or "git-format-patch -2 topic" to name a specific branch). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Refer users to git-rev-parse for revision specification syntax.Shawn O. Pearce2007-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as SHA1-expressions) is accepted almost everywhere in Git by almost every tool. Unfortunately it is only documented in git-rev-parse.txt, and most users don't know to look there. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Introduce 'git-format-patch --suffix=.patch'Junio C Hamano2007-01-17
| | | | | | | The default can also be changed with "format.suffix" configuration. Leaving it empty would not add any suffix. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Add option to set initial In-Reply-To/ReferencesJosh Triplett2006-07-14
| | | | | | | | | Add the --in-reply-to option to provide a Message-Id for an initial In-Reply-To/References header, useful for including a new patch series as part of an existing thread. Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@freedesktop.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Add option to enable threading headersJosh Triplett2006-07-14
| | | | | | | | | Add a --thread option to enable generation of In-Reply-To and References headers, used to make the second and subsequent mails appear as replies to the first. Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@freedesktop.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-format-patch: add --output-directory long option againJunio C Hamano2006-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Additionally notices and complains to an -o option without directory or a duplicated -o option, -o and --stdout given together. Also delays the creation of directory until all arguments are parsed, so that the command does not leave an empty directory behind when it exits after seeing an unrelated invalid option.

* format-patch: Remove last vestiges of --mbox optionAndreas Ericsson2006-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | Don't mention it in docs or --help output. Remove mbox, date and author variables from git-format-patch.sh. Use DESCRIPTION text from man-page to update LONG_USAGE output. It's a bit silly to have two texts saying the same thing in different words, and I'm too lazy to update both.

* Big tool rename.Junio C Hamano2005-09-07
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.
