* Examples of resetting.Junio C Hamano2005-12-164-0/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | Morten Welinder says examples of resetting is really about recovering from botched commit/pulls. I agree that pointers from commands that cause a reset to be needed in the first place would be very helpful. Also reset examples did not mention "pull/merge" cases.

* clone-pack: make it usable for partial branch cloning.Junio C Hamano2005-12-141-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | clone-pack had some logic to accept subset of remote refs from the command line and clone from there. However, it was never used in practice and its problems were not found out so far. This commit changes the command to output the object names of refs to the standard output instead of making a clone of the remote repository when explicit <head> parameters are given; the output format is the same as fetch-pack. The traditional behaviour of cloning the whole repository by giving no explicit <head> parameters stays the same. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows git-am to accept single-message files as well as mboxes. Unlike the previous version, this one doesn't need to be explicitly told which one it is; rather, it looks to see if the first line is a From line and uses it to select mbox mode or not. I moved the logic to do all this into git-mailsplit, which got a new user interface as result, although the old interface is still available for backwards compatibility.

* Documentation: not learning core git commands.Junio C Hamano2005-12-132-22/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The initial section of tutorial was too heavy on internal workings for the first-time readers, so rewrite the introductory section of git(7) to start with "not learning core git commands" section and refer them to README to grasp the basic concepts, then Everyday to give overview with task/role oriented examples for minimum set of commands, and finally the tutorial. Also add to existing note in the tutorial that many too technical descriptions can be skipped by a casual reader. I initially started to review the tutorial, with the objective of ripping out the detailed technical information altogether, but I found that the level of details in the initial couple of sections that talk about refs and the object database in a hands-on fashion was about rigth, and left all of them there. I feel that reading about fsck-index and repack is too abstract without being aware of these directories and files. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Explicit <head> arguments to git-prune replaces, instead of extends, the list of heads used for reachability analysis by fsck-objects. By giving a subset of heads by mistake, objects reachable only from other heads can be removed, resulting in a corrupted repository. This commit stops replacing the list of heads, and makes the command line arguments to add to them instead for safety. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* update-index: allow --index-info to add higher stages.Junio C Hamano2005-12-071-0/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new merge world order tells the merge strategies to leave the cache unmerged and store the automerge result in the working tree if automerge is not clean. This was done for the resolve strategy and recursive strategy when no rename is involved, but recording a conflicting merge in the rename case could not easily be done by the recursive strategy. This commit adds a new input format, in addition to the exsting two, to "update-index --index-info". (1) mode SP sha1 TAB path The first format is what "git-apply --index-info" reports, and used to reconstruct a partial tree that is used for phony merge base tree when falling back on 3-way merge. (2) mode SP type SP sha1 TAB path The second format is to stuff git-ls-tree output into the index file. (3) mode SP sha1 SP stage TAB path This format is to put higher order stages into the index file and matches git-ls-files --stage output. To place a higher stage entry to the index, the path should first be removed by feeding a mode=0 entry for the path, and then feeding necessary input lines in the (3) format. For example, starting with this index: $ git ls-files -s 100644 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 0 frotz $ git update-index --index-info ;# interactive session -- input follows... 0 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 frotz 100644 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 1 frotz 100755 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 2 frotz The first line of the input feeds 0 as the mode to remove the path; the SHA1 does not matter as long as it is well formatted. Then the second and third line feeds stage 1 and stage 2 entries for that path. After the above, we would end up with this: $ git ls-files -s 100644 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 1 frotz 100755 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 2 frotz This completes the groundwork for the new merge world order.
