| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To name a commit, you can now say $ git rev-parse ':/Initial revision of "git"' and it will return the hash of the youngest commit whose commit message (the oneline) begins with the given prefix. For future extension, a leading exclamation mark is treated specially: if you want to match a commit message starting with a '!', just repeat the exclamation mark. So, to match a commit which starts with '!Hello World', use $ git show ':/!!Hello World' Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| * | Add git-bundle: move objects and references by archiveJohannes Schindelin2007-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some workflows require use of repositories on machines that cannot be connected, preventing use of git-fetch / git-push to transport objects and references between the repositories. git-bundle provides an alternate transport mechanism, effectively allowing git-fetch and git-pull to operate using sneakernet transport. `git-bundle create` allows the user to create a bundle containing one or more branches or tags, but with specified basis assumed to exist on the target repository. At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack, allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in operation with bundles. The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>. It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be "-" now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| * | | | | Teach git-diff-files the new option `--no-index`Johannes Schindelin2007-02-22

This flag is also available in git-diff. It also works outside of a git repository. In addition, if git-diff{,-files} is called without revision or stage parameter, and with exactly two paths at least one of which is not tracked, the default is --no-index. So, you can now say git diff /etc/inittab /etc/fstab and it actually works! This also unifies the duplicated argument parsing between cmd_diff_files() and builtin_diff_files().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the options that affect the way metadata is handled in git-svn, should be consistently set/unset throughout history imported by git-svn; it makes sense to allow the user to set certain options from the command-line that will write to the config file when initially creating the repository. Also, fix some formatting issues while we're updating documentation. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sure we flush our userspace buffers and and fsync(2) .rev_db information to disk if we use these options because we really don't want to lose this information. Also, disallow --use-svm-props and --no-metadata from the command-line because history will be inconsistent if they're only used occasionally. If a user wants to use these options, they must be set in the config so they're always on. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --no-follow-parent disables and reverts it back to the old default behavior of not following parents (if you don't care for full history). Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since refs/remotes/* are not automatically cloned, we expect the user to be capable of copying those references themselves anyways.

The default if the named group is not specified is now fetched group remotes.default, instead of remote.fetch, which is what had been previously used. In addition, if remotes.default is not defined, all remotes defined in the config file will be used, as before, but there is now also possible to request that a particular repository to be skipped by default by using the boolean configuration parameter remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate.
