* Merge branch 'jk/no-optional-locks'Junio C Hamano2017-12-13

| * git-status.txt: mention --no-optional-locksJeff King2017-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you come to the documentation thinking "I do not want Git to take any locks for my background processes", then you may easily run across "--no-optional-locks" in git.txt. But it's quite reasonable to hit a specific instance of the problem: you have "git status" running in the background, and you notice that it causes lock contention with other processes. So you look in git-status.txt to see if there is a way to disable it, but there's no mention of the flag. Let's add a short note mentioning that status does indeed touch the index (and why), with a pointer to the global option. That can point users in the right direction and help them make a more informed decision about what they're disabling.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ability to exclude paths with a negative pathspec is not mentioned in the man pages for git grep and other commands where it might be useful. Add an example and a pointer to the pathspec glossary entry in the man page for git grep to help the user to discover this ability. Add similar pointers from the git-add and git-status man pages. Additionally, - Add a test for the behaviour when multiple exclusions are present. - Add a test for the ^ alias. - Improve name of existing test. - Improve grammar in glossary description of the exclude pathspec.

* submodule.c: correctly handle nested submodules in is_submodule_modifiedStefan Beller2017-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Suppose I have a superproject 'super', with two submodules 'super/sub' and 'super/sub1'. 'super/sub' itself contains a submodule 'super/sub/subsub'. Now suppose I run, from within 'super': echo hi >sub/subsub/stray-file echo hi >sub1/stray-file Currently we get would see the following output in git-status: git status --short m sub ? sub1 With this patch applied, the untracked file in the nested submodule is displayed as an untracked file on the 'super' level as well. git status --short ? sub ? sub1 This doesn't change the output of 'git status --porcelain=1' for nested submodules, because its output is always ' M' for either untracked files or local modifications no matter the nesting level of the submodule. 'git status --porcelain=2' is affected by this change in a nested submodule, though. Without this patch it would report the direct submodule as modified and having no untracked files. With this patch it would report untracked files. Chalk this up as a bug fix. This bug fix also affects the default output (non-short, non-porcelain) of git-status, which is not tested here.

* short status: improve reporting for submodule changesStefan Beller2017-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If I add an untracked file to a submodule or modify a tracked file, currently "git status --short" treats the change in the same way as changes to the current HEAD of the submodule: $ git clone --quiet --recurse-submodules https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit $ echo hello >gerrit/plugins/replication/stray-file $ sed -i -e 's/.*//' gerrit/plugins/replication/.mailmap $ git -C gerrit status --short M plugins/replication This is by analogy with ordinary files, where "M" represents a change that has not been added yet to the index. But this change cannot be added to the index without entering the submodule, "git add"-ing it, and running "git commit", so the analogy is counterproductive. Introduce new status letters " ?" and " m" for this. These are similar to the existing "??" and " M" but mean that the submodule (not the parent project) has new untracked files and modified files, respectively. The user can use "git add" and "git commit" from within the submodule to add them. Changes to the submodule's HEAD commit can be recorded in the index with a plain "git add -u" and are shown with " M", like today. To avoid excessive clutter, show at most one of " ?", " m", and " M" for the submodule. They represent increasing levels of change --- the last one that applies is shown (e.g., " m" if there are both modified files and untracked files in the submodule, or " M" if the submodule's HEAD has been modified and it has untracked files). While making these changes, we need to make sure to not break porcelain level 1, which shares code with "status --short". We only change "git status --short". Non-short "git status" and "git status --porcelain=2" already handle these cases by showing more detail: $ git -C gerrit status --porcelain=2 1 .M S.MU 160000 160000 160000 305c864db28eb0c77c8499bc04c87de3f849cf3c 305c864db28eb0c77c8499bc04c87de3f849cf3c plugins/replication $ git -C gerrit status [...] modified: plugins/replication (modified content, untracked content) Scripts caring about these distinctions should use --porcelain=2.

For the second point, the behavior is documented in gitcli(7), but it is easy for users to miss, and hard for the same user to understand why e.g. "git status -u no" does not work. Document this explicitly in the documentation of each short option having an optional argument: they are the most error prone since there is no '=' sign between the option and its argument.

This - and the fact that the last two settings do not affect the "git submodule" commands at all - is not well documented.

* | status: add --long output format optionJeff King2012-10-18
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | You can currently set the output format to --short or --porcelain. There is no --long, because we default to it already. However, you may want to override an alias that uses "--short" to get back to the default. This requires a little bit of refactoring, because currently we use STATUS_FORMAT_LONG internally to mean the same as "the user did not specify anything". By expanding the enum to include STATUS_FORMAT_NONE, we can distinguish between the implicit and explicit cases. This effects these conditions: 1. The user has asked for NUL termination. With NONE, we currently default to turning on the porcelain mode. With an explicit --long, we would in theory use NUL termination with the long mode, but it does not support it. So we can just complain and die. 2. When an output format is given to "git commit", we default to "--dry-run". This behavior would now kick in when "--long" is given, too.

* | docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literalJeff King2012-04-26
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc 8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the documentation could be built on either version. It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want inline literals on their own merits, which are: 1. The source is much easier to read when the literal contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead of `master{tilde}1`. 2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of quoting. This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up, or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the output). Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to making the source more readable, this patch fixes several formatting bugs: - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B") - some code examples used the right-arrow character instead of '->' because they failed to quote - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting HTML contained a bogus snippet like: <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt> which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole sections of the page. - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes) - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for author@example.com - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}". - using "prime" notation like: commit `C` and its replacement `C'` confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant to be inside matched quotes - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our asterisks. In particular, `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*` properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but literally passed through the backslash in the second case.

Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

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.

| * | Add the option "--ignore-submodules" to "git status"Jens Lehmann2010-06-25

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 (this was the behavior before 1.7.0). 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 when using the "dirty" parameter. And if you want to ignore any changes to submodules, you can now do that by using this option without parameters or with "all" (when the config option status.submodulesummary is set, using "all" will also suppress the output of the submodule summary). A new function handle_ignore_submodules_arg() is introduced to parse this option new to "git status" in a single location, as "git diff" already knew it.

* Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutThomas Rast2010-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.
* status -s: respect the status.relativePaths optionMichael J Gruber2009-11-26

* status: add --porcelain output formatJeff King2009-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "short" format was added to "git status" recently to provide a less verbose way of looking at the same information. This has two practical uses: 1. Users who want a more dense display of the information. 2. Scripts which want to parse the information and need a stable, easy-to-parse interface. For now, the "--short" format covers both of those uses. However, as time goes on, users of (1) may want additional format tweaks, or for "git status" to change its behavior based on configuration variables. Those wishes will be at odds with (2), which wants to stability for scripts. This patch introduces a separate --porcelain option early to avoid problems later on. Right now the --short and --porcelain outputs are identical. However, as time goes on, we will have the freedom to customize --short for human consumption while keeping --porcelain stable.

* git status: not "commit --dry-run" anymoreJunio C Hamano2009-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes tentative "git stat" and make it take over "git status". There are some tests that expect "git status" to exit with non-zero status when there is something staged. Some tests expect "git status path..." to show the status for a partial commit. For these, replace "git status" with "git commit --dry-run". For the ones that do not attempt a dry-run of a partial commit that check the output from the command, check the output from "git status" as well, as they should be identical.
