Merge branch 'an/shallow-doc' into maint

2011-08-01T21:43:53+00:00

* an/shallow-doc:
  Document the underlying protocol used by shallow repositories and --depth commands.
  Fix documentation of fetch-pack that implies that the client can disconnect after sending wants.

Documentation: clarify the invalidated tree entry format

2011-08-01T01:23:49+00:00

When the entry_count is -1, the tree is invalidated and therefore has
not associated hash (or object name). Explicitly state that the next
entry starts after the newline.

Fix documentation of fetch-pack that implies that the client can disconnect after sending wants.

2011-06-09T01:08:20+00:00

Specify conditions under which the client can terminate the connection
early. Previously, an unintended behavior was possible which could
confuse servers.

 * Clarify "string of unsigned bytes";

 * Blob has two variants (regular file vs symlink), not (blob vs symlink);

 * Clarify permission mode bits;

 * Clarify ce_namelen() "too long to fit in the length field" case;

 * Clarify "." etc are forbidden as path components;

 * Match the description with the internal wording "cache-tree";

 * All types of extension begin with signature and length as explained in
   the first part. Don't repeat the "length" part in the description of
   each extension (can be mistaken as if there is a separate 32-bit size
   field inside the extension), but state what the signature for each
   extension is.

 * Don't say "Extension tag", as we have said "Extension signature" in the
   first part---be consistent;

 * Clarify the invalidation of cache-tree entries;

 * Correct description on subtree_nr field in the cache-tree;

 * Clarify the order of entries in cache-tree;
