* fetch: elaborate --depth actionNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2013-01-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | --depth is explained as deepen, but the way it's applied, it can shorten the history as well. Keen users may have noticed the implication by the phrase "the specified number of commits from the tip of each remote branch". Put "shorten" in the description to make it clearer.

* fetch: add --unshallow for turning shallow repo into complete oneNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2013-01-111-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The user can do --depth=2147483647 (*) for restoring complete repo now. But it's hard to remember. Any other numbers larger than the longest commit chain in the repository would also do, but some guessing may be involved. Make easy-to-remember --unshallow an alias for --depth=2147483647. Make upload-pack recognize this special number as infinite depth. The effect is essentially the same as before, except that upload-pack is more efficient because it does not have to traverse to the bottom anymore. The chance of a user actually wanting exactly 2147483647 commits depth, not infinite, on a repository with a history that long, is probably too small to consider. The client can learn to add or subtract one commit to avoid the special treatment when that actually happens. (*) This is the largest positive number a 32-bit signed integer can contain. JGit and older C Git store depth as "int" so both are OK with this number. Dulwich does not support shallow clone.

* fetch/pull: Don't recurse into a submodule when commits are already presentJens Lehmann2011-03-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | When looking for submodules where new commits have been recorded in the superproject ignore those cases where the submodules commits are already present locally. This can happen e.g. when the submodule has been rewound to an earlier state. Then there is no need to fetch the submodule again as the commit recorded in the newly fetched superproject commit has already been fetched earlier into the submodule.

* fetch/pull: Add the 'on-demand' value to the --recurse-submodules optionJens Lehmann2011-03-091-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Until now the --recurse-submodules option could only be used to either fetch all populated submodules recursively or to disable recursion completely. As fetch and pull now by default just fetch those submodules for which new commits have been fetched in the superproject, a command line option to enforce that behavior is needed to be able to override configuration settings.

* fetch/pull: recurse into submodules when necessaryJens Lehmann2011-03-091-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To be able to access all commits of populated submodules referenced by the superproject it is sufficient to only then let "git fetch" recurse into a submodule when the new commits fetched in the superproject record new commits for it. Having these commits present is extremely useful when using the "--submodule" option to "git diff" (which is what "git gui" and "gitk" do since 1.6.6), as all submodule commits needed for creating a descriptive output can be accessed. Also merging submodule commits (added in 1.7.3) depends on the submodule commits in question being present to work. Last but not least this enables disconnected operation when using submodules, as all commits necessary for a successful "git submodule update -N" will have been fetched automatically. So we choose this mode as the default for fetch and pull. Before a new or changed ref from upstream is updated in update_local_ref() "git rev-list <new-sha1> --not --branches --remotes" is used to determine all newly fetched commits. These are then walked and diffed against their parent(s) to see if a submodule has been changed. If that is the case, its path is stored to be fetched after the superproject fetch is completed. Using the "--recurse-submodules" or the "--no-recurse-submodules" option disables the examination of the fetched refs because the result will be ignored anyway. There is currently no infrastructure for storing deleted and new submodules in the .git directory of the superproject. That's why fetch and pull for now only fetch submodules that are already checked out and are not renamed. In t7403 the "--no-recurse-submodules" argument had to be added to "git pull" to avoid failure because of the moved upstream submodule repo.

| * Submodules: Add the "fetchRecurseSubmodules" config optionJens Lehmann2010-11-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new boolean "fetchRecurseSubmodules" config option controls the behavior for "git fetch" and "git pull". It specifies if these commands should recurse into submodules and fetch new commits there too and can be set separately for each submodule. In the .gitmodules file "submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules" entries are read before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in .git/config will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the user to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting upstream set reasonable defaults for those users who don't have special needs. This configuration can be overridden by the command line option "--[no-]recurse-submodules" of "git fetch" and "git pull".

| * fetch/pull: Add the --recurse-submodules optionJens Lehmann2010-11-121-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now you had to call "git submodule update" (without -N|--no-fetch option) or something like "git submodule foreach git fetch" to fetch new commits in populated submodules from their remote. This could lead to "(commits not present)" messages in the output of "git diff --submodule" (which is used by "git gui" and "gitk") after fetching or pulling new commits in the superproject and is an obstacle for implementing recursive checkout of submodules. Also "git submodule update" cannot fetch changes when disconnected, so it was very easy to forget to fetch the submodule changes before disconnecting only to discover later that they are needed. This patch adds the "--recurse-submodules" option to recursively fetch each populated submodule from the url configured in the .git/config of the submodule at the end of each "git fetch" or during "git pull" in the superproject. The submodule paths are taken from the index. The hidden option "--submodule-prefix" is added to "git fetch" to be able to print out the full paths of nested submodules.

* Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutThomas Rast2010-01-101-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.

* Teach the --multiple option to 'git fetch'Björn Gustavsson2009-11-101-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the --multiple option to specify that all arguments are either groups or remotes. The primary reason for adding this option is to allow us to re-implement 'git remote update' using fetch. It would have been nice if this option was not needed, but since the colon in a refspec is optional, it is in general not possible to know whether a single, colon-less argument is a remote or a refspec.

* Teach the --all option to 'git fetch'Björn Gustavsson2009-11-101-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'git remote' is meant for managing remotes and 'git fetch' is meant for actually fetching data from remote repositories. Therefore, it is not logical that you must use 'git remote update' to fetch from more than one repository at once. Add the --all option to 'git fetch', to tell it to attempt to fetch from all remotes. Also, if --all is not given, the <repository> argument is allowed to be the name of a group, to allow fetching from all repositories in the group. Other options except -v and -q are silently ignored.
