* format-patch: Remove last vestiges of --mbox optionAndreas Ericsson2006-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | Don't mention it in docs or --help output. Remove mbox, date and author variables from git-format-patch.sh. Use DESCRIPTION text from man-page to update LONG_USAGE output. It's a bit silly to have two texts saying the same thing in different words, and I'm too lazy to update both.

* git-commit: revamp the git-commit semantics.Junio C Hamano2006-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - "git commit" without _any_ parameter keeps the traditional behaviour. It commits the current index. We commit the whole index even when this form is run from a subdirectory. - "git commit --include paths..." (or "git commit -i paths...") is equivalent to: git update-index --remove paths... git commit - "git commit paths..." acquires a new semantics. This is an incompatible change that needs user training, which I am still a bit reluctant to swallow, but enough people seem to have complained that it is confusing to them. It 1. refuses to run if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists, and reminds trained git users that the traditional semantics now needs -i flag. 2. refuses to run if named paths... are different in HEAD and the index (ditto about reminding). Added paths are OK. 3. reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file. 4. updates named paths... from the working tree in this temporary index. 5. does the same updates of the paths... from the working tree to the real index. 6. makes a commit using the temporary index that has the current HEAD as the parent, and updates the HEAD with this new commit. - "git commit --all" can run from a subdirectory, but it updates the index with all the modified files and does a whole tree commit. - In all cases, when the command decides not to create a new commit, the index is left as it was before the command is run. This means that the two "git diff" in the following sequence: $ git diff $ git commit -a $ git diff would show the same diff if you abort the commit process by making the commit log message empty. This commit also introduces much requested --author option. $ git commit --author 'A U Thor <author@example.com>' Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* git-rerere: reuse recorded resolve.Junio C Hamano2006-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a workflow that employs relatively long lived topic branches, the developer sometimes needs to resolve the same conflict over and over again until the topic branches are done (either merged to the "release" branch, or sent out and accepted upstream). This commit introduces a new command, "git rerere", to help this process by recording the conflicted automerge results and corresponding hand-resolve results on the initial manual merge, and later by noticing the same conflicted automerge and applying the previously recorded hand resolution using three-way merge.

* Docs: split up pull-fetch-param.txtJ. Bruce Fields2006-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The push and pull man pages include a bunch of shared text from pull-fetch-param.txt. This simplifies maintenance somewhat, but there's actually quite a bit of text that applies only to one or the other. So, separate out the push- and pull/fetch-specific text into pull-fetch-param.txt and git-push.txt, then include the largest chunk of common stuff (the description of protocols and url's) from urls.txt. That cuts some irrelevant stuff from the man pages without making us duplicate too much. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Earlier, we made --base-path to automatically forbid user-relative paths, which was probably a mistake. This introduces --user-path (or --user-path=path) option to control the use of user-relative paths independently. The latter form of the option can be used to restrict accesses to a part of each user's home directory, similar to "public_html" some webservers supports. If we're invoked with --user-path=FOO option, then a URL of the form git://~USER/PATH/... resolves to the path HOME/FOO/PATH/..., where HOME is USER's home directory. [jc: This is much reworked by me so bugs are mine, but the original patch was done by Mark Wooding.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Documentation: git-diff-tree --cc also omits empty commitsJunio C Hamano2006-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | A misguided attempt to show logs at all time was inserted only to the documentation of this flag. Worse yet, it was not even implemented, causing more confusion. Drop it. We might want to have an option to show --pretty even when there is no diff output, but that is applicable to all forms of diff, not just --cc. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* cvs-migration documentation updateJ. Bruce Fields2006-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here's some changes to the cvs-migration.txt. As usual, in my attempt to make things clearer someone may have found I've made them less so, or I may have just gotten something wrong; so any review is welcomed. I can break up this sort of thing into smaller steps if preferred, the monolothic patch is just a bit simpler for me for this sort of thing. I moved the material describing shared repository management from core-tutorial.txt to cvs-migration.txt, where it seems more appropriate, and combined two sections to eliminate some redundancy. I also revised the earlier sections of cvs-migration.txt, mainly trying to make it more concise. I've left the last section of cvs-migration.txt (on CVS annotate alternatives) alone for now.

[jc: I have a mild suspicion that this is a broken environment (aka sysadmin disservice). It may be legal to configure your sshd to spawn named program without involving shell at all, and if your sysadmin does so and you have your git programs under your home directory, you would need something like this, but then I suspect you would need such workaround everywhere, not just git. But we have these options we can use to work around the issue, so there is no strong reason not to reject this patch, either. ] Signed-off-by: Michal Ostrowski <mostrows@watson.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current Documentation/tutorial.txt concentrates on the lower-level git interfaces. So it's useful to people developing alternative porcelains, to advanced users, etc., but not so much to beginning users. I think it makes sense for the main tutorial to address those beginnning users, so with this patch I'm proposing that we move Documentation/tutorial.txt to Documentation/core-tutorial.txt and replace it by a new tutorial.

Also when looking for files in a directory called '--others', it passed that path limiter without preceding the end-of-options marker '--' to underlying git-ls-files, which misunderstood it as one of its options instead. $ git grep --others -e Meta/Make Meta $ git grep -o -e Meta/Make Meta $ git grep -o Meta/Make Meta look for a string "Meta/Make" from untracked files in Meta/ directory. $ git grep Meta/Make --others looks for the same string from tracked files in ./--others directory. On the other hand, $ git grep -e Meta/Make --others does not have a freestanding pattern, so everybody is parameter and there is no path specifier. It looks for the string in all the untracked files without any path limiter.
