* | | Documentation: point git-prune users to git-gcJeff King2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most users should be using git-gc instead of directly calling prune. For those who really do want more information on pruning, let's point them at git-fsck, which goes into slightly more detail on reachability. And since we're pointing users there, let's make sure reflogs are mentioned in git-fsck(1). Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* | | rev-parse: teach "--verify" to be quiet when using "-q" or "--quiet"Christian Couder2008-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently "git rev-parse --verify <something>" is often used with its error output redirected to /dev/null. This patch makes it easier to do that. The -q|--quiet option is designed to work the same way as it does for "git symbolic-ref".

Users with a safe umask value (0077) can use this option to force file modes. For example, '0640' is a group-readable but not group-writable regardless of user's umask value. Values compatible with old Git versions are written as they were before, for compatibility reasons. That is, "1" for "group" and "2" for "everybody". "git config core.sharedRepository 0xxx" is also handled. Signed-off-by: Heikki Orsila <heikki.orsila@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coming from CVS, I found the git glossary vital to learning git and learning how terms in git correlate to the cvs terminology with which I am familiar. This patch links the glossary from the cvs-migration page so cvs users will be able to fine the glossary as soon as they start looking at git documents.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems to be a FAQ that people try running git-gc, and then get puzzled about why the size of their .git directory didn't change.

The <limit> is given by the config variable status.submodulesummary to limit the submodule summary size. status.submodulesummary is a bool/int variable with value: - false or 0 by default to disable the summary, or - positive number to limit the summary size, or - true or negative number to unlimit the summary size.

This makes it totally transparent to CVS users, but the instruction to set up CVS access for people with real shell access does not apply. Previous wording mentioning GIT_AUTHOR, GIT_COMMITTER variables was unclear that we really meant GIT_AUTHOR_(NAME|EMAIL), etc. Note that the .ssh/environment file is a good place to set these, and that the .bashrc is shell-specific. Add a bit of text to differentiate cvs -d (setting CVSROOT) from cvs co -d (setting the name of the newly checked out directory). Removed an extra 'Example:' string.
