* Merge branch 'js/fetch-progress' (early part)Junio C Hamano2007-03-04

| * Fixup no-progress for fetch & cloneJohannes Schindelin2007-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The intent of the commit 'fetch & clone: do not output progress when not on a tty' was to make fetching and cloning less chatty when output was not redirected (such as in a cron job). However, there was a serious thinko in that commit. It assumed that the client _and_ the server got this update at the same time. But this is obviously not the case, and therefore upload-pack died on seeing the option "--no-progress". This patch fixes that issue by making it a protocol option. So, until your server is updated, you still see the progress, but once the server has this patch, it will be quiet. A minor issue was also fixed: when cloning, the checkout did not heed no_progress.

| * fetch & clone: do not output progress when not on a ttyJohannes Schindelin2007-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the option "--no-progress" to fetch-pack and upload-pack, and makes fetch and clone pass this option when stdout is not a tty. While at documenting that option, also document --strict and --timeout options for upload-pack.

| * | Add core.symlinks to mark filesystems that do not support symbolic links.Johannes Sixt2007-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic link, it is impossible to check out the working copy. This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in the database (as long as an entry exists in the index). Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Modifying" an old commit by checking it out, --amend'ing it, then rebasing on top of it, is a slightly cumbersome technique, but I've found it useful frequently enough to make it seem worth documenting.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The generated user manual is rather hard to read thanks to the lack of the css that's supposed to be included from docbook-xsl.css. I'm totally ignorant of the toolchain; grubbing through xmlto and related scripts, the easiest way I could find to ensure that the generated html links to the stylesheet is by calling xsltproc directly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Linus pointed out recently on the mailing list, git reset --hard HEAD^ doesn't undo a merge in the case where the merge did a fast-forward.

At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack, allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in operation with bundles. The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>. It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be "-" now. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

In addition, if git-diff{,-files} is called without revision or stage parameter, and with exactly two paths at least one of which is not tracked, the default is --no-index.
