* rebase: clarify "restore the original branch"Martin von Zweigbergk2011-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The description for 'git rebase --abort' currently says: Restore the original branch and abort the rebase operation. The "restore" can be misinterpreted to imply that the original branch was somehow in a broken state during the rebase operation. It is also not completely clear what "the original branch" is --- is it the branch that was checked out before the rebase operation was called or is the the branch that is being rebased (it is the latter)? Although both issues are made clear in the DESCRIPTION section, let us also make the entry in the OPTIONS secion more clear. Also remove the term "rebasing process" from the usage text, since the user already knows that the text is about "git rebase".

* docs: document --textconv diff optionJeff King2011-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | This has been there since textconv existed, but was never documented. There is some overlap with what's in gitattributes(5), but it's important to warn in both places that textconv diffs probably can't be applied.

This is a problem if we are discussing literal output and want to show the ASCII characters. Our usage falls into three categories: 1. Inside a code block. These can be left as-is. 2. Discussing literal output or code, but inside a paragraph. This patch escapes these as "\->". 3. Using the arrow as a symbolic element, such as "use the Edit->Account Settings menu". In this case, the arrow symbol is preferable, so we leave it as-is. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Since this was written, the short format picked up a few incompatible niceties, but this description was never changed. Let's mention the differences. While we're at it, let's add some sub-section headings to make the "output" section a little easier to navigate.

The helper functions added for that purpose reside in the new t/lib-read-tree.sh file. The only exception is #13 in t1004 ("unlinking an un-unlink-able symlink").

Allow taking more than one on the command line, and record their removal as a single atomic event if everthing goes well. Even though the old code insisted that "git notes rm" must be given only one object (or zero, in which case it would default to HEAD), this condition was not tested. Add tests to handle the new case where we feed multiple objects, and also make sure if there is a bad input, no change is recorded. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

I _think_ the original intention when I wrote the command was "we MUST have a work tree, our $(cwd) might not be at the top-level directory of it", and no stronger than that. That check is a very sensible thing to do before doing cd-to-toplevel. We check that the place we would want to go exists, and then go there. But the implementation of require_work_tree we have today is quite different. I don't have energy to dig the history, but currently it says: test "$(git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null)" = true || die "fatal: $0 cannot be used without a working tree." Which is completely bogus. Even though we may happen to be just outside of it right now, we may have a working tree that we can cd_to_toplevel back to. Add a function "require_work_tree_exists" that implements the check this function originally intended (this is so that third-party scripts that rely on the current behaviour do not have to get broken). For now, update _no_ in-tree scripts, not even "git pull", as nobody on the list seems to really care about the above corner case workflow that triggered this. Scripts can be updated after vetting that they do want the "we want to make sure the place we are going to go actually exists" semantics. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
