* Clean-up output from "git show-branch" and document it.Junio C Hamano2005-08-22
| | | | | | | | When showing only one branch a lot of default output becomes redundant, so clean it up a bit, and document what is shown. Retire the earlier implementation "git-show-branches-script". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | Small fix (use "git branch" to make branches, rather than "git checkout -b"). Optimization for trivial patches (apply to release and merge to test). Three sample scripts appended. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* [PATCH] Assorted changes to glossaryJohannes Schindelin2005-08-17
| | | | | | | | | Based on the discussion on the git list, here are some important changes to the glossary. (There is no cache, but an index. Use "object name" rather than "SHA1". Reorder. Clarify.)

* [PATCH] Add merge detection to git-cvsimportMartin Langhoff2005-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Added -m and -M flags for git-cvsimport to detect merge commits in cvs. While this trusts the commit message, in repositories where merge commits indicate 'merged from FOOBRANCH' the import works surprisingly well. Even if some merges from CVS are bogus or incomplete, the resulting branches are in better state to go forward (and merge) than without any merge detection.

* [PATCH] Add GIT glossaryJohannes Schindelin2005-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | [jc: This is the version without asciidoc cross references; Johannes says that the cross referenced one is generated from this file using a Perl script, so I am placing this as the source, and expecting to later receive the script and a Makefile entry or two to massage this file into the final HTML or whatever form.] Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] use it's and its correctly in documentationGreg Louis2005-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | At one place in Documentation/tutorial.txt and several in the base README, its was wrongly used in place of it's or vice versa. One instance remains somewhere in Documentation/howto/, which I didn't correct because it's in a quotation.

* [PATCH] Also handle CVS branches with a '/' in their nameJohannes Schindelin2005-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | I track a CVS project which has a branch with a '/' in the branch name. Since git wants the branch name to be a file name at the same time, substitute that character to a '-' by default (override with "-s <subst>"). This should work well, despite the fact that a division and a difference are completely different :-) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Add a bit more links to the commands to the main git(7) page.Junio C Hamano2005-08-16
| | | | | | | | There are many programs like git-add not described at all, and the organization of the list of commands may be suboptimal, but we have to start somewhere. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Reformat git-show-branches-script documentation.Junio C Hamano2005-08-16
| | | | | | ... using ListingBlock of asciidoc. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Add -k kill keyword expansion option to git-cvsimport - revisedMartin Langhoff2005-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Early versions of git-cvsimport defaulted to using preexisting keyword expansion settings. This change preserves compatibility with existing cvs imports and allows new repository migrations to kill keyword expansion. After exploration of the different -k modes in the cvs protocol, we use -kk which kills keyword expansion wherever possible. Against the protocol spec, -ko and -kb will sometimes expand keywords. Should improve our chances of detecting merges and reduce imported repository size. Signed-off: Martin Langhoff <martin.langhoff@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Fixed two bugs in git-cvsimport-script.iso-8859-1?Q?David_K=E5gedal2005-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The git-cvsimport-script had a copule of small bugs that prevented me from importing a big CVS repository. The first was that it didn't handle removed files with a multi-digit primary revision number. The second was that it was asking the CVS server for "F" messages, although they were not handled. I also updated the documentation for that script to correspond to actual flags. Signed-off-by: David K?5gedal <davidk@lysator.liu.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Add documentation for git repack and git-prune-packed.Junio C Hamano2005-08-15
| | | | | | | | [jc: the patch forgot to update the main git.txt documentation, making all these new documentation practically no-op, so I added a minimum attempt linking them from there.] Signed-off-by: Ryan Anderson <ryan@michonline.com>
* Keep excellent tutorial for using topic branches by Tony LuckJunio C Hamano2005-08-15
| | | | | | I would eventually like to move this to become a part of the tutorial, but anyway, this was an excellent post that describes how topic branches can be used to keep track of local changes.

* Add git-show-branches-scriptJunio C Hamano2005-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | Often I find myself wanting to do quick branches check when I am not in the windowing environment and cannot run gitk. This stupid script shows commits leading to the heads of interesting branches with indication which ones belong to which branches, so that fork point is somewhat discernible without using gitk. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Add some simple howtos, culled from the mailing list.Ryan Anderson2005-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | I think these are useful, and I think putting them in a new "howto" directory might help some users until we get to the point of splitting up the tutorial to be easier to read. Given the authorship, I think it's safe to put these in the repository. Signed-off-by: Ryan Anderson <ryan@michonline.com>
