Big tool rename. As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

If there is no path that is different between the index file and
the current HEAD commit (i.e., there is nothing to commit by running
`git-commit`), the command exits with non-zero status.

git-status documentation: mention subdirectory behaviour Consistently with all other diff oriented commands, we have given paths relative to the work tree root in git-status output for a long time. This documents the recent behaviour change, as people's eyes (and worse yet, scripts, although scripts should not parse "git status" output) may depend on the old behaviour. In the longer run, giving a --full-name option to git-diff Porcelain similar to what ls-files has, and change the default for git-diff Porcelain to show relative paths may be a good thing to do, in order to hide the oddballness of this git-status behaviour, but that would have a rather large impact to established expectation by existing users.

2007-01-17 10:11:01 +01:00
CONFIGURATION
-------------
The command honors `color.status` (or `status.color` -- they
mean the same thing and the latter is kept for backward
compatibility) and `color.status.<slot>` configuration variables
to colorize its output.
add status.relativePaths config variable The output of git-status was recently changed to output relative paths. Setting this variable to false restores the old behavior for any old-timers that prefer it. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-07 22:26:07 +01:00
If the config variable `status.relativePaths` is set to false, then all
paths shown are relative to the repository root, not to the current
directory.
builtin-status: submodule summary support This commit teaches 'git commit/status' show a new 'Modified submodules' section, which is an output from: git submodule summary --cached --for-status --summary-limit <limit> just before the 'Untracked files' section. The <limit> is given by the config variable status.submodulesummary to limit the submodule summary size. status.submodulesummary is a bool/int variable with value: - false or 0 by default to disable the summary, or - positive number to limit the summary size, or - true or negative number to unlimit the summary size. Also mention status.submodulesummary in the documentation. Signed-off-by: Ping Yin <pkufranky@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-04-12 17:05:32 +02:00
If `status.submodulesummary` is set to a non zero number or true (identical
to -1 or an unlimited number), the submodule summary will be enabled and a
summary of commits for modified submodules will be shown (see --summary-limit
option of linkgit:git-submodule[1]).

Create a new manpage for the gitignore format, and reference it elsewhere Only git-ls-files(1) describes the gitignore format in detail, and it does so with reference to git-ls-files options. Most users don't use the plumbing command git-ls-files directly, and shouldn't have to look in its manpage for information on the gitignore format. Create a new manpage gitignore(5) (Documentation/gitignore.txt), and factor out the gitignore documentation into that file, changing it to refer to .gitignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude as used by porcelain commands. Reference gitignore(5) from other relevant manpages and documentation. Remove now-redundant information on exclude patterns from git-ls-files(1), leaving only information on how git-ls-files options specify exclude patterns and what precedence they have.
