* documentation: replace Discussion section by link to user-manual chapterJ. Bruce Fields2007-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "Discussion" section has a lot of useful information, but is a little wordy, especially for an already-long man page, and is designed for an audience more of potential git hackers than users, which probably doesn't make as much sense as git matures. Also, I (perhaps foolishly) forked a version in the user manual, which has been significantly rewritten in an attempt to address some of the above problems. So, remove this section and replace it by a (very terse) summary of the original material--my attempt at the World's Shortest Git Overview--and a reference to the appropriate chapter of the user manual. It's unfortunate to remove something that's been in this place for a long time, as some people may still depend on finding it there. But I think we'll want to do this some day anyway.

* GIT 1.5.3.1: obsolete git-p4 in RPM spec file.v1.5.3.1Junio C Hamano2007-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | HPA noticed that yum does not like the newer git RPM set; it turns out that we do not ship git-p4 anymore but existing installations do not realize the package is gone if we do not tell anything about it. David Kastrup suggests using Obsoletes in the spec file of the new RPM to replace the old package, so here is a try. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* git --bare cmd: do not unconditionally nuke GIT_DIRJunio C Hamano2007-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | "GIT_DIR=some.where git --bare cmd" and worse yet "git --git-dir=some.where --bare cmd" were very confusing. They both ignored git-dir specified, and instead made $cwd as GIT_DIR. This changes --bare not to override existing GIT_DIR. This has been like this for a long time. Let's hope nobody sane relied on this insane behaviour. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The GIT_SSH environment variable has survived for quite a while without being documented, but has been mentioned on list and on my day-job repositories can only be accessed via magic supplied through the wonderous hack that is GIT_SSH. Advertising it alongside other "low level magic" such as GIT_PAGER and GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY will certainly help others who need to spread their own pixie dust to make things work.

Also describe GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY environment.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently. The work tree can be specified using the environment variable GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment variable has precendence over the config option). Additionally there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the environment variable. setup_gdg does the following now: GIT_DIR unspecified repository in .git directory parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree, GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored GIT_DIR unspecified repository in cwd GIT_DIR is set to cwd see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and also see the note below GIT_DIR specified GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified cwd is used as work tree GIT_DIR specified GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified the specified work tree is used Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd: GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true. I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls setup_gdg should do the same thing every time. Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir: (1) is_bare_repository A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not named .git). The bare option disables a few protective checks which are useful with a working tree. Currently this changes if a repository is bare: updates of HEAD are allowed git gc packs the refs the reflog is disabled by default (2) is_inside_work_tree True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there is one), false otherwise. (3) is_inside_git_dir True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise. Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare repositories. When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is always called. This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified. inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a repository. The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

* | Don't fflush(stdout) when it's not helpfulTheodore Ts'o2007-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch arose from a discussion started by Jim Meyering's patch whose intention was to provide better diagnostics for failed writes. Linus proposed a better way to do things, which also had the added benefit that adding a fflush() to git-log-* operations and incremental git-blame operations could improve interactive respose time feel, at the cost of making things a bit slower when we aren't piping the output to a downstream program. This patch skips the fflush() calls when stdout is a regular file, or if the environment variable GIT_FLUSH is set to "0". This latter can speed up a command such as: GIT_FLUSH=0 strace -c -f -e write time git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l a tiny amount.
