| * fix git config example syntaxJoey Hess2008-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | git-config expects a space, not '=' between option and value. Also, quote the value since it contains globs, which some shells will not pass through unchanged, or will abort if the glob doesn't expand.

* | Documentation: remove {show,whatchanged}.difftree config optionsOlivier Marin2008-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes, from the documentation and the bash completion script, the two config options that were introduced by the git-whatchanged.sh script and lost in the C rewrite. Today, we can use aliases as an alternative. Signed-off-by: Olivier Marin <dkr@freesurf.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* | | | update-hook-example: optionally allow non-fast-forwardDmitry Potapov2008-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes it is desirable to have non-fast-forward branches in a shared repository. A typical example of that is the 'pu' branch. This patch extends the format of allowed-users and allow-groups files by using the '+' sign at the beginning as the mark that non-fast-forward pushes are permitted to the branch.

It defaults to off, although we could presumably in theory some day auto-enable it on a per-filesystem basis. [*] Yes, I updated the docs for the thing. Hell really _has_ frozen over, and the four horsemen are probably just beyond the horizon. EVERYBODY PANIC!

* | | | | Ship sample hooks with .sample suffixJunio C Hamano2008-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to mark hooks we ship as samples by making them unexecutable, but some filesystems cannot tell what is executable and what is not. This makes it much more explicit. The hooks are suffixed with .sample (but now are made executable), so enabling it is still one step operation (instead of "chmod +x $hook", you would do "mv $hook.sample $hook") but now they won't get accidentally enabled on systems without executable bit.
