| * glossary: explain "master" and "origin"Johannes Schindelin2006-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you are a long time git user/developer, you forget that to a new git user, these words have not the same meaning as to you. [jc: with updates from J. Bruce Fields.] Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* | git-daemon --base-pathPetr Baudis2006-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tommi Virtanen expressed a wish on #git to be able to use short and elegant git URLs by making git-daemon 'root' in a given directory. This patch implements this, causing git-daemon to interpret all paths relative to the given base path if any is given.

* | git-fetch: auto-following tags.Junio C Hamano2006-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I added things to ls-remote so that Cogito can auto-follow tags easily and correctly a while ago, but git-fetch did not use the facility. Recently added git-describe command relies on repository keeping up-to-date set of tags, which made it much more attractive to automatically follow tags, so we do that as well.

* | rev-parse: --show-cdupJunio C Hamano2005-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When --show-prefix is useful, sometimes it is easier to cd up to the toplevel of the tree. This is equivalent to: git rev-parse --show-prefix | sed -e 's|[^/][^/]*|..|g' but we do not have to invoke sed for that. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* | git-clone: Support changing the origin branch with -oJohannes Schindelin2005-12-22
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier, git-clone stored upstream's master in the branch named 'origin', possibly overwriting an existing such branch. Now you can change it by calling git-clone with '-o <other_name>'.

* diff: --abbrev optionJunio C Hamano2005-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | When I show transcripts to explain how something works, I often find myself hand-editing the diff-raw output to shorten various object names in the output. This adds --abbrev option to the diff family, which shortens diff-raw output and diff-tree commit id headers. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Remove "octopus".Junio C Hamano2005-12-19
| | | | | | | | | We still advertise "git resolve" as a standalone command, but never "git octopus", so nobody should be using it and it is safe to retire it. The functionality is still available as a strategy backend. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* fetch-pack: -k option to keep downloaded pack.Junio C Hamano2005-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split out the functions that deal with the socketpair after finishing git protocol handshake to receive the packed data into a separate file, and use it in fetch-pack to keep/explode the received pack data. We earlier had something like that on clone-pack side once, but the list discussion resulted in the decision that it makes sense to always keep the pack for clone-pack, so unpacking option is not enabled on the clone-pack side, but we later still could do so easily if we wanted to with this change.

* Examples of resetting.Junio C Hamano2005-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | Morten Welinder says examples of resetting is really about recovering from botched commit/pulls. I agree that pointers from commands that cause a reset to be needed in the first place would be very helpful. Also reset examples did not mention "pull/merge" cases.

* clone-pack: make it usable for partial branch cloning.Junio C Hamano2005-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | clone-pack had some logic to accept subset of remote refs from the command line and clone from there. However, it was never used in practice and its problems were not found out so far. This commit changes the command to output the object names of refs to the standard output instead of making a clone of the remote repository when explicit <head> parameters are given; the output format is the same as fetch-pack. The traditional behaviour of cloning the whole repository by giving no explicit <head> parameters stays the same. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| * git-am support for naked email messages (take 2)H. Peter Anvin2005-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows git-am to accept single-message files as well as mboxes. Unlike the previous version, this one doesn't need to be explicitly told which one it is; rather, it looks to see if the first line is a From line and uses it to select mbox mode or not. I moved the logic to do all this into git-mailsplit, which got a new user interface as result, although the old interface is still available for backwards compatibility.

* Documentation: not learning core git commands.Junio C Hamano2005-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The initial section of tutorial was too heavy on internal workings for the first-time readers, so rewrite the introductory section of git(7) to start with "not learning core git commands" section and refer them to README to grasp the basic concepts, then Everyday to give overview with task/role oriented examples for minimum set of commands, and finally the tutorial. Also add to existing note in the tutorial that many too technical descriptions can be skipped by a casual reader. I initially started to review the tutorial, with the objective of ripping out the detailed technical information altogether, but I found that the level of details in the initial couple of sections that talk about refs and the object database in a hands-on fashion was about rigth, and left all of them there. I feel that reading about fsck-index and repack is too abstract without being aware of these directories and files. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* git-prune: never lose objects reachable from our refs.Junio C Hamano2005-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Explicit <head> arguments to git-prune replaces, instead of extends, the list of heads used for reachability analysis by fsck-objects. By giving a subset of heads by mistake, objects reachable only from other heads can be removed, resulting in a corrupted repository. This commit stops replacing the list of heads, and makes the command line arguments to add to them instead for safety. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
