status: allow --untracked=false and friends

2024-03-13T17:43:32Z

It is natural to expect that the "--untracked" option and the status.showuntrackedFiles configuration variable to take a Boolean value ("do you want me to show untracked files?"), but the current code takes nothing but "no" as "no, please do not show any". Allow the usual Boolean values to be given, and treat 'true' as "normal", and 'false' as "no". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'zh/commit-trailer'

2021-04-07T23:54:08Z

"git commit" learned "--trailer [=]" option; together with the interpret-trailers command, this will make it easier to support custom trailers. * zh/commit-trailer: commit: add --trailer option

commit: add --trailer option

2021-03-23T17:31:38Z

Historically, Git has supported the 'Signed-off-by' commit trailer using the '--signoff' and the '-s' option from the command line. But users may need to provide other trailer information from the command line such as "Helped-by", "Reported-by", "Mentored-by", Now implement a new `--trailer [(=|:)]` option to pass other trailers to `interpret-trailers` and insert them into commit messages.

doc: preparatory clean-up of description on the sign-off option

2020-10-20T18:57:35Z

Almost identical text on the signed-off-by trailer appears in the documentation for "git commit" and "git merge" and its friends. Introduce a new signoff-option.txt file to be shared. A couple of things of note are: - The short-form "-s" is available only in "git commit", but not in commands that are friends of "git merge", as it is used as a short-hand for "--strategy". - The original lacks description on the negated "--no-signoff" form on "git commit" side, but it equally is applicable. It however was unclear in the original text that not adding a Signed-off-by trailer is the default, so rephrase to explain it as a way to countermand a --signoff option that appeared earlier on the same command line. This is in preparation to apply a further clarification on what exactly the Signed-off-by trailer means.
