This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

How to use git-daemon
|
|
|
|
Git can be run in inetd mode and in stand alone mode. But all you want is
|
|
let a coworker pull from you, and therefore need to set up a git server
|
|
real quick, right?
|
|
|
|
Note that git-daemon is not really chatty at the moment, especially when
|
|
things do not go according to plan (e.g. a socket could not be bound).
|
|
|
|
Another word of warning: if you run
|
|
|
|
$ git ls-remote git://127.0.0.1/rule-the-world.git
|
|
|
|
and you see a message like
|
|
|
|
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
|
|
|
|
it only means that _something_ went wrong. To find out _what_ went wrong,
|
|
you have to ask the server. (Git refuses to be more precise for your
|
|
security only. Take off your shoes now. You have any coins in your pockets?
|
|
Sorry, not allowed -- who knows what you planned to do with them?)
|
|
|
|
With these two caveats, let's see an example:
|
|
|
|
$ git daemon --reuseaddr --verbose --base-path=/home/gitte/git \
|
|
--export-all -- /home/gitte/git/rule-the-world.git
|
|
|
|
(Of course, unless your user name is `gitte` _and_ your repository is in
|
|
~/rule-the-world.git, you have to adjust the paths. If your repository is
|
|
not bare, be aware that you have to type the path to the .git directory!)
|
|
|
|
This invocation tries to reuse the address if it is already taken
|
|
(this can save you some debugging, because otherwise killing and restarting
|
|
git-daemon could just silently fail to bind to a socket).
|
|
|
|
Also, it is (relatively) verbose when somebody actually connects to it.
|
|
It also sets the base path, which means that all the projects which can be
|
|
accessed using this daemon have to reside in or under that path.
|
|
|
|
The option `--export-all` just means that you _don't_ have to create a
|
|
file named `git-daemon-export-ok` in each exported repository. (Otherwise,
|
|
git-daemon would complain loudly, and refuse to cooperate.)
|
|
|
|
Last of all, the repository which should be exported is specified. It is
|
|
a good practice to put the paths after a "--" separator.
|
|
|
|
Now, test your daemon with
|
|
|
|
$ git ls-remote git://127.0.0.1/rule-the-world.git
|
|
|
|
If this does not work, find out why, and submit a patch to this document.
