git-checkout-index: documentation updates.

2005-10-18T00:38:09Z

Now the behaviour of '-a' has been straightened out, document it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

make checkout-index '-a' flag saner.

2005-10-18T00:32:12Z

The original semantics of pretending as if all files were specified where '-a' appeared and using only the flags given so far was too confusing. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Do not quote SP.

2005-10-17T20:34:42Z

Follow the "encode minimally" principle -- our tools, including git-apply and git-status, can handle pathnames with embedded SP just fine. The only problematic ones are TAB and LF, and we need to quote the metacharacters introduced for quoting. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Update git-apply to use C-style quoting for funny pathnames.

2005-10-16T18:05:14Z

This is a backport so that maintenance branch can understand diff output that uses C-style quoting produced by newer tools. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Functions to quote and unquote pathnames in C-style.

2005-10-16T17:58:30Z

Following the list discussion, define two functions, quote_c_style and unquote_c_style, to help adopting the proposed way for quoting funny pathname letters for GNU patch. The rule is described in: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=112927316408690&w=2 Currently we do not support the leading '!', but we probably should barf upon seeing it. Rule B4. is interpreted to require always 3 octal digits in \XYZ notation. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

whatchanged: document -m option from git-diff-tree.

2005-10-16T06:49:27Z

The documentation for git-whatchanged is meant to describe only the most frequently used options from git-diff-tree. Because "why doesn't it show merges" was asked more than once, we'd better describe '-m' option there. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

GIT v0.99.8d

2005-10-16T01:10:02Z

Contains the following changes since v0.99.8c. Johannes Schindelin: Teach git-status about spaces in file names also on MacOSX t5400-send-pack relies on a working cpio Jonas Fonseca: git.sh: quote all paths Junio C Hamano: Also force LC_ALL in test scripts. OpenBSD needs the strcasestr replacement. git-check-ref-format: reject funny ref names. Refuse to create funny refs in clone-pack, git-fetch and receive-pack. Ignore funny refname sent from remote Introduce notation "ref^{type}". Martin Langhoff: cvsimport: don't pass --cvs-direct if user options contradict us Ralf Baechle: rsh.c: typo fix Note that "funny ref" bits are not strictly fixes but rather backport from the "master" branch. They will prevent refs and heads with funny names from being created. In addition, what is in the master branch will start feeding the clients unwrapped tag information to help Martin's findtags and possibly later Cogito. These backported "funny ref" changes are to prevent clients on the "maint" branch from getting confused when talking with newer git-upload-pack and when reading from info/refs file prepared with newer git-update-server-info.
