| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The description of the configuration variable is obsolete and wrong (saying only file content is used), not just incomplete.

Running "grep -c" on user-manual.txt, I find 780 occurrrences of "git", 37 occurrences of "Git", and 9 occurrences of "GIT". In general, "git" is the preferred spelling, except at the beginning of a sentence. Therefore, change "GIT Glossary" to "Git Glossary" for consistency with the rest of the document. Looking at the other eight occurrences of "GIT" I found one other occurrence that should be changed: * The mention of "StGIT". Looking at the web pages for "Stacked Git" at http://www.procode.org/stgit, I only saw the spelling "StGit", except in http://wiki.procode.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi/StGIT_Tutorial, but that page was last updated in 2006. The other seven occurrences should not be changed: * Three occurrences were in the output of 'git show-branch' run on the git.git repository. * One occurrence was in the output of 'git cat-file'. * One occurrence was as part of the file name "GIT-VERSION-GEN". * Two occurrences were in comments in scripts quoted in a description of Tony Luck's workflow.

This subcommand is similar to 'filemodify', except that no mode is supplied (all notes have mode 0644), and the path is set to the hex SHA1 of the given "comittish". This enables fast import of note objects along with their associated commits, since the notes can now be named using the mark references of their corresponding commits.

This patch teaches "git notes edit" to respect the same options for specifying a notes message without invoking the editor. Multiple "-m" and/or "-F" options are concatenated as separate paragraphs. The patch also updates the "git notes" documentation and adds selftests for the new functionality. Unfortunately, the added selftests include a couple of lines with trailing whitespace (without these the test will fail). This may cause git to warn about "whitespace errors".

These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF. The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1). The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes, maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some repository owners may wish to enable smart HTTP, but disallow dumb content serving. Disallowing dumb serving might be because the owners want to rely upon reachability to control which objects clients may access from the repository, or they just want to encourage clients to use the more bandwidth efficient transport. If http.getanyfile is set to false the backend CGI will return with '403 Forbidden' when an object file is accessed by a dumb client. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request starts. This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified. For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server. The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas created by human authors against text sources with the occasional small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image). The configuration option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this buffer if the default is not sufficient. For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack file locally. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Prior to starting the backend process the HTTP response headers are sent, thereby freeing the backend from needing to know about the HTTP protocol. Requests that are encoded with Content-Encoding: gzip are automatically inflated before being streamed into the backend. This is primarily useful for the git-upload-pack backend, which receives highly repetitive text data from clients that easily compresses to 50% of its original size. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

For remote-curl we implement this by calling the existing WebDAV based git-http-push executable. Internally the helper interface uses the push_refs transport hook so that the complexity of the refspec parsing and matching can be reused between remote implementations. When possible however the helper protocol uses source ref name rather than the source SHA-1, thereby allowing the helper to access this name if it is useful. >From Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at>: update http tests according to remote-curl capabilities o Pushing packed refs is now fixed. o The transport helper fails if refs are already up-to-date. Add a test for that. o The transport helper will notice if refs are already up-to-date. We therefore need to update server info in the unpacked-refs test. o The transport helper will purge deleted branches automatically. o Use a variable ($ORIG_HEAD) instead of full SHA-1 name.

This should allow one to avoid searching for a proper editor separately in each command. git_editor(void) uses the logic to decide which editor to use that used to live in launch_editor(). The function returns NULL if there is no suitable editor; the caller is expected to issue an error message when appropriate. launch_editor() uses git_editor() and gives the error message the same way as before when EDITOR is not set. "git var GIT_EDITOR" gives the editor name, or an error message when there is no appropriate one. "git var -l" gives GIT_EDITOR=name only if there is an appropriate editor.

Keep the "-p" option for backward compatibility, but add "--no-stat" as a more intuitive synonym. For backward compatibility with scripts, we must allow combinations of --stat and --no-stat.

However, -p is also needed in combination with certain options (e.g. --stat or --numstat) in order to produce any patch at all. The documentation does not mention this. Since the purpose of format-patch is to produce a patch that can be emailed, it does not make sense that certain combination of options will suppress the generation of the patch itself. Therefore: * Update 'git format-patch' to always generate a patch. * Since the --name-only, --name-status, and --check suppresses the generation of the patch, disallow those options, and remove the description of them in the documentation. * Remove the reference to -p in the description of -U. * Remove the descriptions of the options that are synonyms for -p plus another option (--patch-with-raw and --patch-with-stat). * While at it, slightly tweak the description of -p itself to say that it generates "plain patches", so that you can think of -p as "plain patch" as an mnemonic aid.

However, that rewriting strategy is also a useful building block in other tasks. For example, if you want to split out a subset of files from your history, you would typically call git filter-branch -- <refs> -- <files> But this fails for all refs that do not point directly to a commit that affects <files>, because their referenced commit will not be rewritten and the ref remains untouched. The code was already there for the --subdirectory-filter case, so just introduce an option that enables it independently.
