* | git-rebase: document suppression of duplicate commitsJeff King2007-10-161-1/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | git-rebase uses format-patch's --ignore-if-in-upstream option, but we never document the user-visible behavior. The example is placed near the top of the example list rather than at the bottom because it is: a. a simple example b. a reasonably common scenario for many projects (mail some patches which get accepted upstream, then rebase) [sp: Corrected direction of 'HEAD..<upstream>' set comparsion] Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If I'm handed a file, then it typically lives outside the working directory. git-log only operates on in-tree files, so the first 'filename' should be an in-tree one, or it should look at all files. This patch does the latter, so it would also find renamed files. However, it is also slower. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

* | Add a --dry-run option to git-push.Brian Ewins2007-10-151-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default behaviour of git-push is potentially confusing for new users, since it will push changes that are not on the current branch. Publishing patches that were still cooking on a development branch is hard to undo. It would also be nice to be able to verify the expansion of refspecs if you've edited them, so that you know what branches matched on the server. Adding a --dry-run flag allows the user to experiment safely and learn how to use git-push properly. Originally suggested by Steffen Prohaska.

* | instaweb: support for Ruby's WEBrick serverMike Dalessio2007-10-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | running the webrick server with git requires Ruby and Ruby's YAML and Webrick libraries (both of which come standard with Ruby). nice for single-user standalone invocations. the --httpd=webrick option generates a ruby script on the fly to read httpd.conf options and invoke the web server via library call. this script is placed in the .git/gitweb directory. it also generates a shell script in a feeble attempt to invoke ruby in a portable manner, which assumes that 'ruby' is in the user's $PATH.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These new options can be used to control the policy for fast-forward merges: --ff allows it (this is the default) while --no-ff will create a merge commit.

| * | git-merge: add support for --commit and --no-squashLars Hjemli2007-09-231-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These options can be used to override --no-commit and --squash, which is needed since --no-commit and --squash now can be specified as default merge options in $GIT_DIR/config. The change also introduces slightly different behavior for --no-commit: when specified, it explicitly overrides --squash. Earlier, 'git merge --squash --no-commit' would result in a squashed merge (i.e. no $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD was created) but with this patch the command will behave as if --squash hadn't been specified.

| * | git-merge: add support for branch.<name>.mergeoptionsLars Hjemli2007-09-232-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This enables per branch configuration of merge options. Currently, the most useful options to specify per branch are --squash, --summary/--no-summary and possibly --strategy, but all options are supported. Note: Options containing whitespace will _not_ be handled correctly. Luckily, the only option which can include whitespace is --message and it doesn't make much sense to give that option a default value.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This teaches "git-gc --auto" to consolidate many packs into one without losing unreachable objects in them by using "repack -A" when there are too many packfiles that are not marked with *.keep in the repository. gc.autopacklimit configuration can be used to set the maximum number of packs a repository is allowed to have before this mechanism kicks in.

In short it allows the user of git-for-each-ref to do things like this: $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:default)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 Sun May 20 00:30:42 2007 -0700 $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:relative)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 4 months ago $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:short)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 2007-05-20 $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:local)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 Sun May 20 08:30:42 2007 $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:iso8601)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 2007-05-20 00:30:42 -0700 $ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:rfc2822)' refs/tags/v1.5.2 Sun, 20 May 2007 00:30:42 -0700 The default, when no ":<format>" is specified is ":default", leaving the existing behaviour unchanged.
