* Update pull/fetch --tags documentationLuck, Tony2005-11-18
| | | | | | | | | When fetching/pulling from a remote repository the "--tags" option can be used to pull tags too. Document that it will limit the pull to only commits reachable from the tags. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-am: --binary; document --resume and --binary.Junio C Hamano2005-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | Now git-apply can grok binary replacement patches, give --binary flag to git-am. As a safety measure, this is not by default enabled, so that you do not let malicious e-mailed patch to replace an arbitrary path with just a couple of lines (diff index lines, the filename and string "Binary files "...) by accident. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* diff: --full-indexJunio C Hamano2005-11-16
| | | | | | | | | A new option, --full-index, is introduced to diff family. This causes the full object name of pre- and post-images to appear on the index line of patch formatted output, to be used in conjunction with --allow-binary-replacement option of git-apply. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* apply: allow-binary-replacement.Junio C Hamano2005-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new option, --allow-binary-replacement, is introduced. When you feed a diff that records full SHA1 name of pre- and post-image blob on its index line to git-apply with this option, the post-image blob replaces the path if what you have in the working tree matches the pre-image _and_ post-image blob is already available in the object directory. Later we _might_ want to enhance the diff output to also include the full binary data of the post-image, to make this more useful, but this is good enough for local rebasing application.

* git --help COMMAND brings up the git-COMMAND man-page.Andreas Ericsson2005-11-15
| | | | | | | | It's by design a bit stupid (matching ^git rather than ^git-), so as to work with 'gitk' and 'git' as well. Signed-off-by: Andreas Ericsson <ae@op5.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Update git(7) man-page for the C wrapper.Andreas Ericsson2005-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | The program 'git' now has --exec-path which needs explaining. Renamed old "DESCRIPTION" to "CORE GIT COMMANDS" to make room for "OPTIONS" while following follow some sort of convention. Also updated AUTHORS section to pat my own back a bit.

* Documentation: do not blindly run 'cat' .git/HEAD, or echo into it.Junio C Hamano2005-11-15
| | | | | | | | | Many places in the documentation we still talked about reading what commit is recorded in .git/HEAD or writing the new head information into it, both assuming .git/HEAD is a symlink. That is not necessarily so. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Rename lost+found to lost-found.Junio C Hamano2005-11-13
| | | | | | | | Because we use "lost-found" as the directory name to hold dangling object names, it is confusing to call the command git-lost+found, although it makes sense and is even cute ;-). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Documentation: asciidoc sources are utf-8Junio C Hamano2005-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | git-pack-redundant documentation was encoded in latin1, which caused asciidoc to barf, which expected to see utf-8. Run tcs to re-encode it in utf-8. Also just for fun try my name in Japanese in git-lost+found documentation ;-) Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Rename .git/lost+found to .git/lost-found.Junio C Hamano2005-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | Just to avoid confusion that scripts poorly written by somebody else ;-) might mistake this as a mount point, or backup tools ignoring the directory. The latter is probably not a big loss, however, considering that this directory's contents are to be used while fresh anyway. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-lost+foundJunio C Hamano2005-11-11
| | | | | | This command helps you resurrect accidentally lost tags and commits. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Make git-pack-redundant consider alt-odbsLukas_Sandström2005-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes git-pack-redundant so that packfiles in alternate object directories also are considered when deciding which objects are redundant. This functionality is controlled by the flag '--alt-odb'. Also convert the other flags to the long form, and update docs and git-repack accordingly.

* Rename git-pack-intersect to git-pack-redundantLukas_Sandström2005-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch renames git-pack-intersect to git-pack-redundant as suggested by Petr Baudis. The new name reflects what the program does, rather than how it does it. Also fix a small argument parsing bug. Signed-off-by: Lukas Sandström <lukass@etek.chalmers.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Change 'cache' to 'index' in the docsLukas_Sandström2005-11-11
| | | | | | | | | This patch makes the documentation refer to the index as index instead of cache, but some references still remain. (e.g. git-update-index.txt) Signed-off-by: Lukas Sandström <lukass@etek.chalmers.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-clone: Keep remote names when cloning unless explicitly told not to.Andreas Ericsson2005-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch the following commands all clone into the local directory "repo". If repo exists, it will still barf. git-clone git://host.xz/repo.git git-clone /path/to/repo/.git git-clone host.xz:repo.git I ended up doing the same source-to-target sed'ing for all our company projects, so it was easier to add it directly to git-clone.

* Documentation: "host:path/to/repo" is git native over ssh.Junio C Hamano2005-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | You could also spell it ssh://host:/path/to/repo (or git+ssh, ssh+git), but without method:// is shorter to type, so mention only that one in the short and sweet list. Noticed by Pasky. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Documentation: asciidoc formatting fix for git-cvsexportcommit doc.Junio C Hamano2005-11-07

* Introducing: git-cvsexportcommitMartin Langhoff2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A script that can replay commits git into a CVS checkout. Tries to ensure the sanity of the operation and supports mainly manual usage. If you are reckless enough, you can ask it to autocommit when everything has applied cleanly. Combined with a couple more scripts could become part of a git2cvs gateway. Should support adds/removes and binary files. Signed-off-by: Martin Langhoff <martin@catalyst.net.nz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Refactored merge options into separate merge-options.txt.Jon Loeliger2005-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactored fetch options into separate fetch-options.txt. Made git-merge use merge-options. Made git-fetch use fetch-options. Made git-pull use merge-options and fetch-options. Added --help option to git-pull and git-format-patch scripts. Rewrote Documentation/Makefile to dynamically determine include dependencies.

* Set up remotes/origin to track all remote branches.Junio C Hamano2005-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements the idea Daniel Barkalow came up with, to match the remotes/origin created by clone by default to the workflow I use myself in my guinea pig repository, to have me eat my own dog food. We probably would want to use either .git/refs/local/heads/* (idea by Linus) or .git/refs/heads/origin/* instead to reduce the local ref namespace pollution.

[jc: Also fixed git-pull description that still talked about its calling git-resolve or git-octopus (we do not anymore; instead we just call git-merge).
