* Merge branch 'mg/more-textconv'Junio C Hamano2013-10-23

| * diff_opt: track whether flags have been set explicitlyJunio C Hamano2013-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The diff_opt infrastructure sets flags based on defaults and command line options. It is impossible to tell whether a flag has been set as a default or on explicit request. Update the structure so that this detection is possible: * Add an extra "opt->touched_flags" that keeps track of all the fields that have been touched by DIFF_OPT_SET and DIFF_OPT_CLR. * You may continue setting the default values to the flags, like commands in the "log" family do in cmd_log_init_defaults(), but after you finished setting the defaults, you clear the touched_flags field; * And then you let the usual callchain call diff_opt_parse(), allowing the opt->flags be set or unset, while keeping track of which bits the user touched; * There is an optional callback "opt->set_default" that is called at the very beginning to let you inspect touched_flags and update opt->flags appropriately, before the remainder of the diffcore machinery is set up, taking the opt->flags value into account.

* | Merge branch 'ss/doclinks'Junio C Hamano2013-09-17
|\ \ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we converted many documents that were traditionally text-only to be formatted to AsciiDoc, we did not update links that point at them to refer to the formatted HTML files. * ss/doclinks: Documentation: make AsciiDoc links always point to HTML files
| * | Documentation: make AsciiDoc links always point to HTML filesSebastian Schuberth2013-09-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AsciiDoc's "link" is supposed to create hyperlinks for HTML output, so prefer a "link" to point to an HTML file instead of a text file if an HTML version of the file is being generated. For RelNotes, keep pointing to text files as no equivalent HTML files are generated. If appropriate, also update the link description to not contain the linked file's extension.

| * | | add parse_pathspec() that converts cmdline args to struct pathspecNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2013-07-15

The plan is gradually replace all get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() with parse_pathspec(). get_pathspec() now becomes a thin wrapper of parse_pathspec(). parse_pathspec() allows the caller to reject the pathspec magics that it does not support. When a new pathspec magic is introduced, we can enable it per command after making sure that all underlying code has no problem with the new magic. "flags" parameter is currently unused. But it would allow callers to pass certain instructions to parse_pathspec, for example forcing literal pathspec when no magic is used. With the introduction of parse_pathspec, there are now two functions that can initialize struct pathspec: init_pathspec and parse_pathspec. Any semantic changes in struct pathspec must be reflected in both functions. init_pathspec() will be phased out in favor of parse_pathspec().

The client may have truncated the history at the commit by fetching shallowly from a different server, or the commit may have been garbage collected by the server. In either case, this unknown commit is not relevant for calculating the pack that is to be sent and can be safely ignored, and it is not used when recomputing where the updated history of the client is cauterised. The documentation in technical/pack-protocol.txt has been updated to remove the restriction that "Clients MUST NOT mention an obj-id which it does not know exists on the server". This requirement is not realistic because clients cannot know whether an object has been garbage collected by the server.

However, the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED flag to enable this has some git-add specific side-effects (e.g. it doesn't recurse into ignored directories, so listing ignored files with --untracked=all doesn't work). The DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag doesn't list untracked files and returns ignored files in dir_struct.entries[] (instead of dir_struct.ignored[] as DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED). DIR_SHOW_IGNORED is used all throughout git. We don't want to break the existing API, so lets introduce a new flag DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO that lists untracked as well as ignored files similar to DIR_COLLECT_FILES, but will recurse into sub-directories based on the other flags as DIR_SHOW_IGNORED does. In dir.c::read_directory_recursive, add ignored files to either dir_struct.entries[] or dir_struct.ignored[] based on the flags. Also move the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED case here so that filling result lists is in a common place. In wt-status.c::wt_status_collect_untracked, use the new flag and read results from dir_struct.ignored[]. Remove the extra fill_directory call. builtin/check-ignore.c doesn't call fill_directory, setting the git-add specific DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED flag has no effect here. Remove for clarity. Update API documentation to reflect the changes. Performance: with this patch, 'git-status --ignored' is typically as fast as 'git-status'.

Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days. Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation. The name to refer to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the command end-users type is "git". And document this in the coding guideline.

Many tracking system recognise a token of #<bugid> form, for example. The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end users. They have a choice between - Don't do it. Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add. Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g. $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

But it's hard to remember. Any other numbers larger than the longest commit chain in the repository would also do, but some guessing may be involved. Make easy-to-remember --unshallow an alias for --depth=2147483647. Make upload-pack recognize this special number as infinite depth. The effect is essentially the same as before, except that upload-pack is more efficient because it does not have to traverse to the bottom anymore. The chance of a user actually wanting exactly 2147483647 commits depth, not infinite, on a repository with a history that long, is probably too small to consider. The client can learn to add or subtract one commit to avoid the special treatment when that actually happens. (*) This is the largest positive number a 32-bit signed integer can contain. JGit and older C Git store depth as "int" so both are OK with this number. Dulwich does not support shallow clone.
