2018-06-18RelNotes 2.18: minor fix to entry about dynamically loading completionsSZEDER Gábor
It was not "newer versions of bash" but newer versions of bash-completion that made commit 085e2ee0e6 (completion: load completion file for external subcommand, 2018-04-29) both necessary and possible.

2018-06-13RelNotes 2.18: clarify where directory rename detection appliesElijah Newren
Mention that this feature works with some commands (merge and cherry-pick, implying that it also works with commands that build on these like rebase -m and rebase -i). Explicitly mentioning two commands hopefully implies that it may not always work with other commands (am, and rebase without flags that imply either -m or -i). Also, since the directory rename detection from this cycle was specifically added in merge-recursive and not diffcore-rename, remove the 'in "diff" family" phrase from the note. (Folks have requested in the past that `git diff` detect directory renames and somehow simplify its output, so it may be helpful to avoid implying that diff has any new capability here.)

2018-06-12git-p4: add option to disable syncing of p4/master with p4Luke Diamand
Add an option to the git-p4 submit command to disable syncing with Perforce. This is useful for the case where a git-p4 mirror has been setup on a server somewhere, running from (e.g.) cron, and developers then clone from this. Having the local cloned copy also sync from Perforce just isn't useful. Signed-off-by: Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-06-12git-p4: disable-rebase: allow setting this via configurationLuke Diamand
This just lets you set the --disable-rebase option with the git configuration options git-p4.disableRebase. If you're using this option, you probably want to set it all the time for a given repo. Signed-off-by: Luke Diamand <luke@diamand.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-06-12git-p4: add options --commit and --disable-rebaseRomain Merland
On a daily work with multiple local git branches, the usual way to submit only a specified commit was to cherry-pick the commit on master then run git-p4 submit. It can be very annoying to switch between local branches and master, only to submit one commit. The proposed new way is to select directly the commit you want to submit. Add option --commit to command 'git-p4 submit' in order to submit only specified commit(s) in p4. On a daily work developping software with big compilation time, one may not want to rebase on his local git tree, in order to avoid long recompilation. Add option --disable-rebase to command 'git-p4 submit' in order to disable rebase after submission.

2018-06-01RelNotes: remove duplicate release noteElijah Newren
In the 2.18 cycle, directory rename detection was merged, then reverted, then reworked in such a way to fix another prominent bug in addition to the original problem causing it to be reverted. When the reworked series was merged, we ended up with two nearly duplicate release notes. Remove the second copy, but preserve the information about the extra bug fix.

Add a mention of the security mailing list to the README, and to Documentation/SubmittingPatches.. 2caa7b8d27 ("git manpage: note git-security@googlegroups.com", 2018-03-08) already added it to the man page, but for developers either the README, or the documentation on how to contribute (SubmittingPatches) may be the first place to look. Use the same wording as we already have on the git-scm.com website and in the man page for the README, while the wording is adjusted in SubmittingPatches to match the surrounding document better.

2018-06-01SubmittingPatches: replace numbered attributes with namesThomas Gummerer
Use names instead of numbers for the AsciiDoc attributes that are used for the footnotes. We will add more footnotes in subsequent commits, and attributes should ideally all be unique. Having named attributes will help ensure uniqueness, and we won't have to re-number the attributes if we add a footnote earlier in the document. In addition it also clarifies that the attribute name/number is not related to the number the footnote will get in the output.

2018-05-30Merge branch 'ab/get-short-oid'Junio C Hamano
When a short hexadecimal string is used to name an object but there are multiple objects that share the string as the prefix of their names, the code lists these ambiguous candidates in a help message.

"git blame" learns to unhighlight uninteresting metadata from the originating commit on lines that are the same as the previous one, and also paint lines in different colors depending on the age of the commit. * sb/blame-color: builtin/blame: add new coloring scheme config builtin/blame: highlight recently changed lines builtin/blame: dim uninteresting metadata lines

"git submodule update" and "git submodule add" supported the "--reference" option to borrow objects from a neighbouring local repository like "git clone" does, but lacked the more recent invention "--dissociate". Also "git submodule add" has been taught to take the "--progress" option. * cf/submodule-progress-dissociate: submodule: add --dissociate option to add/update commands submodule: add --progress option to add command submodule: clean up substitutions in script
2018-05-30Merge branch 'bp/status-rename-config'Junio C Hamano
"git status" learned to honor a new status.renames configuration to skip rename detection, which could be useful for those who want to do so without disabling the default rename detection done by the "git diff" command. * bp/status-rename-config: add status config and command line options for rename detection
