* Remove git-applypatchJunio C Hamano2007-05-24

* git-applymbox: Remove commandPetr Baudis2007-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I believe noone uses git-applymbox, and noone definitely should, since it is supposed to be completely superseded and everything by its younger cousin git-am. The only known person in the universe to use it was Linus and he declared some time ago that he will try to use git-am instead in his famous dotest script. The trouble is that git-applymbox existence creates confusing UI. I'm a bit like a recycled newbie to the git porcelain and *I* was confused by git-applymbox primitiveness until I've realized a while later that I'm of course using the wrong command.

| * | | Add an option to git-ls-tree to display also the size of blobJakub Narebski2007-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add -l/--long option to git-ls-tree command, which displays object size of a blob entry. Object size is placed after object id (left-justified with minimum width of 7 characters). For non-blob entries `-' is used. Rationale: for non-blob entries size of an object has no much meaning, and is not very interesting. Moreover, in planned pack v4 tree objects would be constructed on demand, so tree size would need to be calculated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Often users want to know not which tagged version a commit came after, but which tagged version a commit is contained within. This latter task is the job of git-name-rev, but most users are looking to git-describe to do the job. Junio suggested we make `git describe --contains` run the correct tool, `git name-rev`, and that's exactly what we do here. The output of name-rev was adjusted slightly through the new --name-only option, allowing describe to execv into name-rev and maintain its current output format. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Loose objects will be compressed using core.loosecompression if set, else core.compression if set, else Z_BEST_SPEED. Packed objects will be compressed using --compression=level if seen, else pack.compression if set, else core.compression if set, else Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION. This is the "pack compression level". Loose objects added to a pack undeltified will be recompressed to the pack compression level if it is unequal to the current loose compression level by the preceding rules, or if the loose object was written while core.legacyheaders = true. Newly deltified loose objects are always compressed to the current pack compression level. Previously packed objects added to a pack are recompressed to the current pack compression level exactly when their deltification status changes, since the previous pack data cannot be reused. In either case, the --no-reuse-object switch from the first patch below will always force recompression to the current pack compression level, instead of assuming the pack compression level hasn't changed and pack data can be reused when possible. This applies on top of the following patches from Nicolas Pitre: [PATCH] allow for undeltified objects not to be reused [PATCH] make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object" Signed-off-by: Dana L.

Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the noise in the end. This patch gets rid of core.legacyheaders, preserve the legacy format as the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to keep things simpler.

This means that any change to core.compression has no effect on those objects as they don't get recompressed when repacking them. Let's add a --no-reuse-object flag to git-repack in order to force recompression of all objects when desired.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The todo list at the end of the user manual says that something must be said about .gitignore. Also, there seems to be a lack of documentation on how to choose between the various types of ignore files (.gitignore vs. .git/info/exclude, etc.). This patch adds a section on ignoring files which try to introduce how to tell git about ignored files, and how the different strategies complement eachother. The syntax of exclude patterns is explained in a simplified manner, with a reference to git-ls-files(1) which already contains a more thorough explanation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The embarassing history of this tutorial is that I started it without really understanding the index well, so I avoided mentioning it. And we all got the idea that "index" was a word to avoid using around newbies, but it was reluctantly mentioned that *something* had to be said. The result is a little awkward: the discussion of the index never actually uses that word, and isn't well-integrated into the surrounding material. Let's just go ahead and use the word "index" from the very start, and try to demonstrate its use with a minimum of lecturing. Also, remove discussion of using git-commit with explicit filenames. We're already a bit slow here to get people to their first commit, and I'm not convinced this is really so important. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
