git repack: keep commits hidden by a graft

2009-07-24T16:10:16Z

When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily remove the graft and end up with a broken repository. So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents. As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted parents.

pack-objects: extend --local to mean ignore non-local loose objects too

2008-11-12T18:29:22Z

With this patch, --local means pack only local objects that are not already packed. Additionally, this fixes t7700 testing whether loose objects in an alternate object database are repacked. Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

pack-objects: new option --honor-pack-keep

2008-11-12T18:28:10Z

This adds a new option to pack-objects which will cause it to ignore an object which appears in a local pack which has a .keep file, even if it was specified for packing. This option will be used by the porcelain repack. Signed-off-by: Brandon Casey Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)

2008-07-05T18:24:40Z

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages. Using doit () { perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }' } for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \ merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt do doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i" done git diff .

Documentation formatting and cleanup

2008-07-02T00:20:16Z

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`. While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "

2008-07-02T00:20:15Z

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command " in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections

2008-06-08T20:46:38Z

The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

documentation: move git(7) to git(1)

2008-06-06T18:18:28Z

As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user level, it seems better to move it to man section 1. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Manual subsection to refer to other pages is SEE ALSO

Consistently say so in all caps as it is customary to do so. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-pack-objects.txt: Make wording slightly less ambiguous

2008-04-05T23:51:16Z

It is a bit confusing on first read, that "The packed archive format (.pack) is designed to be unpackable..." Signed-off-by: Peter Eriksen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
