* pack-objects: split implications of --all-progress from progress activationNicolas Pitre2009-11-231-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the --all-progress flag is used to use force progress display during the writing object phase even if output goes to stdout which is primarily the case during a push operation. This has the unfortunate side effect of forcing progress display even if stderr is not a terminal. Let's introduce the --all-progress-implied argument which has the same intent except for actually forcing the activation of any progress display. With this, progress display will be automatically inhibited whenever stderr is not a terminal, or full progress display will be included otherwise. This should let people use 'git push' within a cron job without filling their logs with useless percentage displays.

This patch also tweaks the documentation. The original text was somewhat obscure in the first place, but it is also now inaccurate (the relationship between (1b) and (2b) is not quite a "reverse").

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | People who configured trailing-space depended on it to catch both extra white space at the end of line, and extra blank lines at the end of file. Earlier attempt to introduce only blank-at-eof gave them an escape hatch to keep the old behaviour, but it is a regression until they explicitly specify the new error class. This introduces a blank-at-eol that only catches extra white space at the end of line, and makes the traditional trailing-space a convenient synonym to catch both blank-at-eol and blank-at-eof. This way, people who used trailing-space continue to catch both classes of errors. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the whitespace error handling more consistent. The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed solely for reporting purposes. The detection of this class of whitespace errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other classes of whitespace errors. It instead has to wait until we find where to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field. Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and error in line with fix. Or you could call it a new feature. The line between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case. Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should have. People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error can disable the new error class. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This does achieve the quoting goal, but modern 'man' implementations turn the apostrophe into a unicode "proper" apostrophe (given the right circumstances), breaking code examples in many of our manpages. Quote them as \(aq instead, which is an "apostrophe quote" as per the groff_char manpage. Unfortunately, as Anders Kaseorg kindly pointed out, this is not portable beyond groff, so we add an extra Makefile variable GNU_ROFF which you need to enable to get the new quoting.

Maybe it would be more useful to a new user to emphasize that the tree contents and history are the same. More important, probably, is that this new branch is set up so that "git pull" merges changes from the corresponding remote branch. The next paragraph addresses that directly. What the reader needs to know to begin with is that (1) the initial branch is your own; if you do not pull, it won't get updated, and that (2) the initial branch starts out at the same commit as the upstream.
