* Add a configuration option to control diffstat after mergeAlex Riesen2007-05-24
| | | | | | | | | The diffstat can be controlled either with command-line options (--summary|--no-summary) or with merge.diffstat. The default is left as it was: diffstat is active by default. Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Convert update-index references in docs to add.Shawn O. Pearce2007-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | Since `git add` is the approved porcelain for an end-user to invoke when they want to manipulate the index, porcelain documentation should steer the user to this command rather than the pure plumbing update-index.

* Use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable instead.Shawn O. Pearce2006-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Junio rightly pointed out that the --reflog-action parameter was starting to get out of control, as most porcelain code needed to hand it to other porcelain and plumbing alike to ensure the reflog contained the top-level user action and not the lower-level actions it invoked. At Junio's suggestion we are introducing the new set_reflog_action function to all shell scripts, allowing them to declare early on what their default reflog name should be, but this setting only takes effect if the caller has not already set the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable.

* git-merge: make it usable as the first class UIJunio C Hamano2006-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This teaches the oft-requested syntax git merge $commit to implement merging the named commit to the current branch. This hopefully would make "git merge" usable as the first class UI instead of being a mere backend for "git pull". Most notably, $commit above can be any committish, so you can say for example: git merge js/shortlog~2 to merge early part of a topic branch without merging the rest of it. A custom merge message can be given with the new --message=<msg> parameter. The message is prepended in front of the usual "Merge ..." message autogenerated with fmt-merge-message.

* Examples of resetting.Junio C Hamano2005-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | Morten Welinder says examples of resetting is really about recovering from botched commit/pulls. I agree that pointers from commands that cause a reset to be needed in the first place would be very helpful. Also reset examples did not mention "pull/merge" cases.

* git-merge documentation: conflicting merge leaves higher stages in indexJunio C Hamano2005-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | This hopefully concludes the latest updates that changes the behaviour of the merge on an unsuccessful automerge. Instead of collapsing the conflicted path in the index to show HEAD, we leave it unmerged, now that diff-files can compare working tree files with higher stages.

* Documentation: Describe merge operation a bit better.Junio C Hamano2005-11-28
| | | | | | | | In git-merge documentation, add a section to describe what happens to the index and working tree during merge, and what their cleanliness requirements are before the merge. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Refactored merge options into separate merge-options.txt.Jon Loeliger2005-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactored fetch options into separate fetch-options.txt. Made git-merge use merge-options. Made git-fetch use fetch-options. Made git-pull use merge-options and fetch-options. Added --help option to git-pull and git-format-patch scripts. Rewrote Documentation/Makefile to dynamically determine include dependencies.

* Documentation: git-fetch/pull updates.Junio C Hamano2005-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We do not accept multiple <refspecs> on one Pull:/Push: line right now (we could lift this tentative workaround for the broken refnames), but we have always accepted multiple such lines, so use that form in the examples and discussion. Also explicitly mention that Octopus is made only with an explicit command line request and never from Pull: lines. Add a couple of cross references. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
