Big tool rename.

2005-09-08T00:45:20Z

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.

[PATCH] Explain what went wrong on update-cache of new file

2005-09-02T04:45:00Z

If somebody tries to run `git update-cache foo', where foo is a new file, git dies with a rather cryptic error message: fatal: Unable to add foo to database This trivial patch makes git explain what probably went wrong. It is not a perfect diagnosis of all error paths, but for 90% of the cases it should provide the user with the clue they need. [jc: I ended up wording slightly differently, and fixed another confusing error message I noticed while reviewing the code.] Signed-off-by: Amos Waterland Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

[PATCH] Make git-update-cache take relative pathnames

2005-08-17T21:53:40Z

This also makes "./filename" acceptable as a side effect, since the pathname normalization handles that too. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

[PATCH] Use SHA1 for git-update-cache --refresh

2005-07-09T00:07:37Z

Change git-update-cache --refresh behaviour to use sha1's rather than comparing byte by byte. [JC demangled whitespace from the posted patch himself because he liked it so much. Also adjusted to the index_fd() interface slightly done differently from the original one.] Signed-off-by: Bryan Larsen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Add --info-only option to git-update-cache.

[PATCH] Expose object ID computation functions.

2005-07-09T00:07:37Z

This patch makes the first half of write_sha1_file() and index_fd() externally visible, to allow callers to compute the object ID without actually storing it in the object database. [JC demangled the whitespaces himself because he liked the patch so much, and reworked the interface to index_fd() slightly, taking suggestion from Linus and of his own.] Signed-off-by: Bryan Larsen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Add "-q" flag to git-update-cache

2005-06-21T04:18:54Z

It suppresses the "needs update" message for subsequent "--refresh" cases (but not other errors). Will be useful for "git commit". Stay tuned.

[PATCH] Make git-update-cache --force-remove regular

2005-06-05T23:57:23Z

Make the --force-remove flag behave same as --add, --remove and --replace. This means I can do git-update-cache --force-remove -- file1.c file2.c which is probably saner and also makes it easier to use in cg-rm. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

git-update-cache: allow dot-files

2005-05-24T21:40:28Z

We still refuse to add ".", ".." and ".git". In theory, you could track another git-repository by allowing ".git", but the potential for confusion is just too high.

sparse cleanup

2005-05-20T18:46:10Z

Fix various things that sparse complains about: - use NULL instead of 0 - make sure we declare everything properly, or mark it static - use proper function declarations ("fn(void)" instead of "fn()") Sparse is always right.
