* Merge branch 'dc/stash-con-untracked'Junio C Hamano2011-07-221-2/+8

| * stash: Add --include-untracked option to stash and remove all untracked filesDavid Caldwell2011-06-261-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The --include-untracked option acts like the normal "git stash save" but also adds all untracked files in the working directory to the stash and then calls "git clean --force --quiet" to restore the working directory to a pristine state. This is useful for projects that need to run release scripts. With this option, the release scripts can be from the main working directory so one does not have to maintain a "clean" directory in parallel just for releasing. Basically the work-flow becomes: $ git tag release-1.0 $ git stash --include-untracked $ make release $ git clean -f $ git stash pop "git stash" alone is not enough in this case--it leaves untracked files lying around that might mess up a release process that expects everything to be very clean or might let a release succeed that should actually fail (due to a new source file being created that hasn't been committed yet).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The description for 'git rebase --abort' currently says: Restore the original branch and abort the rebase operation. The "restore" can be misinterpreted to imply that the original branch was somehow in a broken state during the rebase operation. It is also not completely clear what "the original branch" is --- is it the branch that was checked out before the rebase operation was called or is the the branch that is being rebased (it is the latter)? Although both issues are made clear in the DESCRIPTION section, let us also make the entry in the OPTIONS secion more clear. Also remove the term "rebasing process" from the usage text, since the user already knows that the text is about "git rebase".

Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands.

The latter is somewhat confusing. "notemodify" is a subcommand of "commit" command used to add a note for some commit. Does this note annotate the commit produced by the "commit" command or a commit given by it's committish parameter? Which notes tree does it write notes to? The exact meaning could be deduced with old description and some notes machinery knowledge. But let's make it more obvious. This command is used in a context like "commit refs/notes/test" to add or rewrite an annotation for a committish parameter. So the advised way to add notes in a fast-import stream is: 1) import some commits (optional) 2) prepare a "commit" to the notes tree: 2.1) choose notes ref, committer, log message, etc. 2.2) create annotations with "notemodify", where each can refer to a commit being annotated via a branch name, import mark reference, sha1 and other expressions specified in the Documentation.

However, it did so by unconditionally registering submodule.$name.url to every submodule in the project, even the ones that the user has never showed interest in at all by running 'git submodule init' command. This caused subsequent 'git submodule update' to start cloning/updating submodules that are not interesting to the user at all. Update the code so that the URL is updated from the .gitmodules file only for submodules that already have submodule.$name.url entries, i.e. the ones the user has showed interested in having a checkout.

Locally, this can easily be done by using a shell pipe. When requesting a remote archive, though, it cannot be done through the upload-archive interface.

This patch allows you to set config options in the newly created repository after the clone, but before we do any other operations. In many cases, this is a minor convenience over something like: git clone git://... git config core.whatever true But in some cases, it can bring extra efficiency by changing how the fetch or checkout work. For example, setting line-ending config before the checkout avoids having to re-checkout all of the contents with the correct line endings. It also provides a mechanism for passing information to remote helpers during a clone; the helpers may read the git config to influence how they operate.

While fixing that, spell the command name as "git sh-i18n--envsubst" (2 words) instead of emphasizing the name of the binary (one hyphenated name) and format it in italics. The double-dash in the title should be escaped, too, to avoid spurious em dashes in the header: .TH "GIT\-SH\-I18N\(emENVSUB" "1" "06/26/2011" "Git 1\&.7\&.6" "Git Manual" AsciiDoc 8.6.4 with DocBook XSL 1.76.0-RC1 copes fine and writes "GIT\-SH\-I18N\-\-ENVSUB" even without this change, which is why it was missed before.

Such versions also treat the three-character sequence "\--", when not followed by another dash, as a request to insert two literal minus signs. Thus from time to time there have been patches to add backslashes to AsciiDoc markup to escape double-dashes that are meant to be represent '--' characters used literally on the command line; see v1.4.0-rc1~174, Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly, 2006-05-05, for example. AsciiDoc 6.0.3 (2005-04-20) made life harder by also treating double-dashes without surrounding whitespace as markup for an em dash, though only when formatting for backends other than the manpages (e.g., HTML). Many pages needed to be changed to use a backslash before the "--" in names of command-line flags like "--add" (see v0.99.6~37, Update tutorial, 2005-08-30). AsciiDoc 8.3.0 (2008-11-29) refined the em-dash rule to avoid that requirement. Double-dashes without surrounding spaces are not rendered as em dashes any more unless bordered on both sides by alphanumeric characters. The unescaped markup for option names (e.g., "--add") works fine, and many instances of this style have leaked into Documentation/; git's HTML documentation contains many spurious em dashes when formatted by an older toolchain. (This patch will not change that.) The upshot: "--" as an isolated word and in phrases like "git web--browse" must be escaped if it is not to be rendered as an em dash by current asciidoc. Use "\--" to avoid such misformatting in sentences in which "--" represents a literal double-minus command line argument that separates options and revs from pathspecs, and use "{litdd}" in cases where the double-dash is embedded in the command name. The latter is just for consistency with v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23). List of lines to fix found by grepping manpages for "(em".

Update the document to talk in terms of a more abstract concept "ref" and "symbolic ref" where we are not describing the underlying implementation detail. This on purpose leaves two instances of $GIT_DIR/ in the git-remote documentation; they do talk about $GIT_DIR/remotes/ and $GIT_DIR/branches/ file hierarchy that used to be the place to store configuration around remotes before the configuration mechanism took them over.

This is similar to calling curl with the -b option. This allows git http authorization with authentication mechanisms that use cookies, such as SAML Enhanced Client or Proxy (ECP) used by Shibboleth. To use SAML/ECP, the user needs to request a session cookie with their own ECP code. See for example: <https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/ECP> Once the cookie file has been created, it can be passed to git with, e.g. git config --global http.cookiefile "/home/dbrown/.curlcookies" libCURL will then pass the appropriate session cookies to the git http server.
