* [PATCH] Add a bit more links to the commands to the main git(7) page.Junio C Hamano2005-08-161-0/+24
| | | | | | | | There are many programs like git-add not described at all, and the organization of the list of commands may be suboptimal, but we have to start somewhere. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Reformat git-show-branches-script documentation.Junio C Hamano2005-08-161-9/+11
| | | | | | ... using ListingBlock of asciidoc. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Add -k kill keyword expansion option to git-cvsimport - revisedMartin Langhoff2005-08-161-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Early versions of git-cvsimport defaulted to using preexisting keyword expansion settings. This change preserves compatibility with existing cvs imports and allows new repository migrations to kill keyword expansion. After exploration of the different -k modes in the cvs protocol, we use -kk which kills keyword expansion wherever possible. Against the protocol spec, -ko and -kb will sometimes expand keywords. Should improve our chances of detecting merges and reduce imported repository size. Signed-off: Martin Langhoff <martin.langhoff@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Fixed two bugs in git-cvsimport-script.iso-8859-1?Q?David_K=E5gedal2005-08-161-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The git-cvsimport-script had a copule of small bugs that prevented me from importing a big CVS repository. The first was that it didn't handle removed files with a multi-digit primary revision number. The second was that it was asking the CVS server for "F" messages, although they were not handled. I also updated the documentation for that script to correspond to actual flags. Signed-off-by: David K?5gedal <davidk@lysator.liu.se> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Add documentation for git repack and git-prune-packed.Junio C Hamano2005-08-154-0/+97
| | | | | | | | [jc: the patch forgot to update the main git.txt documentation, making all these new documentation practically no-op, so I added a minimum attempt linking them from there.] Signed-off-by: Ryan Anderson <ryan@michonline.com>
* Keep excellent tutorial for using topic branches by Tony LuckJunio C Hamano2005-08-151-0/+153
| | | | | | I would eventually like to move this to become a part of the tutorial, but anyway, this was an excellent post that describes how topic branches can be used to keep track of local changes.

* Add git-show-branches-scriptJunio C Hamano2005-08-152-0/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | Often I find myself wanting to do quick branches check when I am not in the windowing environment and cannot run gitk. This stupid script shows commits leading to the heads of interesting branches with indication which ones belong to which branches, so that fork point is somewhat discernible without using gitk.

* [PATCH] Add some simple howtos, culled from the mailing list.Ryan Anderson2005-08-153-0/+288
| | | | | | | | | | I think these are useful, and I think putting them in a new "howto" directory might help some users until we get to the point of splitting up the tutorial to be easier to read. Given the authorship, I think it's safe to put these in the repository. Signed-off-by: Ryan Anderson <ryan@michonline.com>
* Documentation updates.Junio C Hamano2005-08-1413-17/+231
| | | | | | | | Linus brought up that documentation for many commands have incorrect attribution. I started counting lines again, but ended up adding a handful of missing manual pages. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Add SubmittingPatchesJunio C Hamano2005-08-131-0/+130
| | | | | | | | Not that I have stricter patch submission standard than ordinary projects, I wanted to have it to make sure people understand what they are doing when they add their own Signed-off-by line. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] Use $DESTDIR instead of $destPetr Baudis2005-08-121-3/+4
| | | | | | | | $DESTDIR is more usual during the build than $dest and is what is usually used in the makefiles, so let's use it too. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* fetch-pack: start multi-head pulling.Junio C Hamano2005-08-121-11/+7
| | | | | | | | | | This is a beginning of resurrecting the multi-head pulling support for git-fetch-pack command. The git-fetch-script wrapper still only knows about fetching a single head, without renaming, so it is not very useful unless you directly call git-fetch-pack itself yet. It also fixes a longstanding obsolete description of how the command discovers the list of local commits.
* Update unpack-objects usage and documentation.Junio C Hamano2005-08-121-1/+7
| | | | | It long supported -q flag to suppress progress meter without properly being documented.
* ls-remote: drop storing operation and add documentation.Junio C Hamano2005-08-091-0/+64
| | | | | | | | | | The store operation was never useful because we needed to fetch the objects needed to complete the reference. Remove it. The fetch command fetch multiple references shortly to replace the lost "store" functionality in more a generic way. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* receive-pack hooks updates.Junio C Hamano2005-08-021-20/+20
| | | | | | | | The earlier one conflated update and post-update hooks for no good reason. Correct that ugly hack. Now post-update hooks will take the list of successfully updated refs. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] git-merge-cache -q doesn't complain about failing merge programPetr Baudis2005-08-011-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | git-merge-cache reporting failed merge program is undesirable for Cogito, since it emits its own more appropriate error message in that case. However, I want to show other possible git-merge-cache error messages. So -q will just silence this particular error.

* [PATCH] Added hook in git-receive-packJosef Weidendorfer2005-07-311-0/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Just before updating a ref, $GIT_DIR/hooks/update refname old-sha1 new-sha1 is called if executable. The hook can decline the ref to be updated by exiting with a non-zero status, or allow it to be updated by exiting with a zero status. The mechanism also allows e.g sending of a mail with pushed commits on the remote repository. Documentation update with an example hook is included. jc: The credits of the basic idea and initial implementation go to Josef, but I ended up rewriting major parts of his patch, so bugs are all mine. Also I changed the semantics for the hook from his original version (which were post-update hook) so that the hook can optionally decline to update the ref, and also can be used to implement the overall cleanups. The latter was primarily to implement a suggestion from Linus that calling update-server-info should be made optional. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Tutorial: use a bit longer sample filenames.Junio C Hamano2005-07-291-40/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | Darrin Thompson noticed when he was showing off GIT to others that the use of filenames "a" and "b" in the tutorial example was unnecessarily confusing, especially with our "patch -p1" prefix a/ and b/, without giving us any patch. I was very tempted to change them back to l/ and k/ prefixes, but decided to restrain myself and update the tutorial instead ;-). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
