| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The documentation spoke of the attribute being set "to" a path; this can mistakenly be interpreted as "the attribute needs to have its value set to some kind of path".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Insert an empty <simpara> in manpages after code blocks to force and empty line. The problem can be seen on the manpage for the git tutorial, where an example command and the following paragraph is printed with no empty line between them: First, note that you can get documentation for a command such as git log --graph with: $ man git-log It is a good idea to introduce yourself to git [...] Signed-off-by: Jonas Fonseca <fonseca@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | git-daemon: set REMOTE_ADDR to client addressJoey Hess2008-10-241-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows hooks like pre-receive to look at the client's IP address. Of course the IP address can't be used to get strong security; git-daemon isn't the right thing to use if you need that. However, basic IP address checking can be good enough in some situations. REMOTE_ADDR is the same environment variable used to communicate the client's address to CGI scripts. Signed-off-by: Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | git-remote: list branches in vertical listsJohannes Sixt2008-10-221-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, branches were listed on a single line in each section. But if there are many branches, then horizontal, line-wrapped lists are very inconvenient to scan for a human. This makes the lists vertical, i.e one branch per line is printed. Since "git remote" is porcelain, we can easily make this backwards-incompatible change. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

So, this patch forces use of Cygwin's stat functions if core.filemode is set true, regardless of any other considerations.

Users that want to disable numbering for a particular patchset can do so with the existing -N command-line switch. Users that want to change the default behavior can use the format.numbering config key.

That limitation was hard for users to understand and awkward to explain. This patch works around it by running the interactive rebase helper git-rebase--interactive with GIT_EDITOR set to ':' when the user passes "-p" but not "-i" to the rebase command. The effect is that the interactive rebase helper is used but the user never sees an editor. The test-case included in this patch was originally written by Stephen Habermann <stephen@exigencecorp.com>, but has been extensively modified since its creation.

When such improvements are done on topic-branches, it's not uncommon to name the topic-branch the same as the subsystem, leading to output like this: Created commit abc9056 on i386: i386: Snib the sprock which doesn't look very nice and can be highly confusing. This patch alters the format so that the noise-word "commit" is dropped except when it makes the output read better and the commit subject is put inside parentheses. We also emphasize the detached case so that users do not overlook it in case the commit subject is long enough to extend to the next line. The end result looks thusly: normal case Created abc9056 (i386: Snib the sprock) on i386 detached head Created DETACHED commit abc9056 (i386: Snib the sprock) While we're at it, we rename "initial commit" to "root-commit" to align it with the argument to 'git log', producing this: initial commit Created root-commit abc9056 (i386: Snib the sprock) on i386 Documentation/gittutorial-2.txt is updated accordingly so that new users recognize what they're looking at.

This patch adds Win32 specific implementation of these functions for Cygwin. This implementation handles most situation directly but in some rare cases it falls back on the implementation provided for Cygwin. This is necessary for two reasons: - Cygwin has its own file hierarchy, so absolute paths used in Cygwin is not suitable to be used Win32 API. cygwin_conv_to_win32_path can not be used because it automatically dereference Cygwin symbol links, also it causes extra syscall. Fortunately Git rarely use absolute paths, so we always use Cygwin implementation for absolute paths. - Support of symbol links. Cygwin stores symbol links as ordinary using one of two possible formats. Therefore, the fast implementation falls back to Cygwin functions if it detects potential use of symbol links. The speed of this implementation should be the same as mingw_lstat for common cases, but it is considerable slower when the specified file name does not exist. Despite all efforts to make the fast implementation as robust as possible, it may not work well for some very rare situations. I am aware only one situation: use Cygwin mount to bind unrelated paths inside repository together. Therefore, the core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks configuration option is provided, which controls whether native or Cygwin version of stat is used.
