| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "[add] ignore-errors" tweakable introduced by v1.5.6-rc0~30^2 (Add a config option to ignore errors for git-add, 2008-05-12) does not follow the usual convention for naming values in the git configuration file. What convention? Glad you asked. The section name indicates the affected subsystem. The subsection name, if any, indicates which of an unbound set of things to set the value for. The variable name describes the effect of tweaking this knob. The section and variable names can be broken into words using bumpyCaps in documentation as a hint to the reader. These word breaks are not significant at the level of code, since the section and variable names are not case sensitive. The name "add.ignore-errors" includes a dash, meaning a naive configuration file like [add] ignoreErrors does not have any effect. Avoid such confusion by renaming to the more consistent add.ignoreErrors, but keep the old version for backwards compatibility.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In git-config(1), diff.noprefix was placed in between diff.mnemonicprefix and the list of mnemonic prefixes, which is obviously incorrect and very confusing to readers. Now, it is located after the end of the explanation of mnemonicprefix, which makes much more sense. Signed-off-by: Mark Lodato <lodatom@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, if remote.<name>.tagopt was set, the --tags and option would have no effect when given to git fetch. So if tagopt="--no-tags" git fetch --tags would not actually fetch tags. This patch changes this behavior to only follow what is written in the config if there is no option passed by the command line.

Though that is all a person needs to know in the end, it would be useful to summarize a bit about what those commands do for new readers. Most of this description is taken from the “git merge” docs. Now that we explain how to back out of a failed merge (reset --merge), we can tone down the warning against that a bit. Except, as Thomas noticed, there’s a risk with that because people might read this version of the manpage online and then conclude that it is safe to try a merge with uncommitted changes, only to find that their “git reset” doesn't support --merge yet. Or worse, verify that their git-reset has --merge by a quick test (1b5b465 is in 1.6.2) but then find that it does not help with backing out of a merge (e11d7b5 is only in 1.7.0!). So keep the warning. With clarifications from Ævar, Thomas, and Junio.

This was exposed as a result of our new use of cat <<\EOF since 47e9cd2 (parseopt: wrap rev-parse --parseopt usage for eval consumption, 2010-06-12), but has always been a problem when handling arguments containing e.g. newlines. Point this out in the documentation, and in particular correct the example that did not have the quotes.

The feature is marked as "semi-obsolete" but not "scheduled for removal" since it's a plumbing command, scripts might use it, and Git testsuite already uses it to test the state of the index.
