* add a quiet option to git-checkoutNicolas Pitre2007-02-01
| | | | | | | | Those new messages are certainly nice, but there might be cases where they are simply unwelcome, like when git-commit is used within scripts. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Do not use hardcoded path to xhmtl.xsl to generate user's manualJunio C Hamano2007-01-31

* Merge branch 'master' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/gitJunio C Hamano2007-01-31
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is in the hope of giving JBF's user-manual wider exposure. I am not very happy with trailing whitespaces in the new document, but let's not worry too much about the formatting issues for now, but concentrate more on the structure and the contents.

| * user-manual: add references to git-config man pageJ. Bruce Fields2007-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Direct editing of config files may be more natural for users than using the git-config commandline; but we should still reference the git-config man page when we describe such editing, so people know where to go for details on the config file syntax and meanings of the variables.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Keep git remote discussion in the first chapter, but postpone lower-level git fetch usage (to fetch individual branches) till later. Import a bunch of slightly modified text from the readme to give an architectural overview at the end. Add more discussion of history rewriting. And a bunch of other miscellaneous changes....

It adds a discussion of how to resolve merge conflicts, and partial instructions on setting up and dealing with a public repository. I've lifted a little bit from "branching and merging" (e.g., some of the discussion of history diagrams), and could probably steal more if that's OK. (Similarly anyone should of course feel free to reuse bits of this if any parts seem more useful than the whole.) There's a lot of detail on managing branches and using git-fetch, just because those are essential even to people needing read-only access (e.g., kernel testers). I think those sections will be much shorter once the new "git remote" command and the disconnected checkouts are taken into account. I do feel bad about adding yet another piece of documentation, but I we need something that goes through all the basics in a logical order, and I wasn't seeing how to grow the tutorials into that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Love it or hate it, some people actually still program in Tcl. Some of those programs are meant for interfacing with Git. Programs such as gitk and git-gui. It may be useful to have Tcl-safe output available from for-each-ref, just like shell, Perl and Python already enjoy.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I did this: $ git tag -s test-sign gpg: skipped "Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>": secret key not available gpg: signing failed: secret key not available failed to sign the tag with GPG. The problem is that I have used the comment field in my key's UID definition. $ gpg --list-keys andy pub 1024D/4F712F6D 2003-08-14 uid Andy Parkins (Google) <andyparkins@gmail.com> So when git-tag looks for "Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com>"; obviously it's not going to be found. There shouldn't be a requirement that I use the same form of my name in my git repository and my gpg key - I might want to be formal (Andrew) in my gpg key and informal (Andy) in the repository. Further I might have multiple keys in my keyring, and might want to use one that doesn't match up with the address I use in commit messages. This patch adds a configuration entry "user.signingkey" which, if present, will be passed to the "-u" switch for gpg, allowing the tag signing key to be overridden. If the entry is not present, the fallback is the original method, which means existing behaviour will continue untouched.
