2015-12-15Merge branch 'ls/p4-keep-empty-commits' into maintJunio C Hamano
"git p4" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths outside the client spec as empty commits. It has been corrected to ignore them instead, with a new configuration git-p4.keepEmptyCommits as a backward compatibility knob. * ls/p4-keep-empty-commits: git-p4: add option to keep empty commits

2015-12-04document submodule sync --recursiveStefan Beller
The git-submodule(1) is inconsistent. In the synopsis, it says: git submodule [--quiet] sync [--recursive] [--] [<path>...] The description of the sync does not mention --recursive, and the description of --recursive says that it is only available for foreach, update and status. The option was introduced (82f49f294c, Teach --recursive to submodule sync, 2012-10-26) a while ago, so let's document it, too.

2015-10-29merge-file: clamp exit code to maximum 127Jeff King
Git-merge-file is documented to return one of three exit codes: - zero means the merge was successful - a negative number means an error occurred - a positive number indicates the number of conflicts Unfortunately, this all gets stuffed into an 8-bit return code. Which means that if you have 256 conflicts, this wraps to zero, and the merge appears to succeed (and commits a blob full of conflict-marker cruft!). This patch clamps the return value to a maximum of 127, which we should be able to safely represent everywhere. This also leaves 128-255 for other values. Shells (and some parts of git) will typically represent signal death as 128 plus the signal number. And negative values are typically coerced to an 8-bit unsigned value (so "return -1" ends up as 255). Technically negative returns have the same problem (e.g., "-256" wraps back to 0), but this is not a problem in practice, as the only negative value we use is "-1".

2015-10-22Documentation: AsciiDoc spells em-dash as double-dashes, not tripleJunio C Hamano
Again, we do not usually process release notes with AsciiDoc, but it is better to be consistent. This incidentally reveals breakages left by an ancient 5e00439f (Documentation: build html for all files in technical and howto, 2012-10-23). The index-format documentation was originally written to be read as straight text without formatting and when the commit forced everything in Documentation/ to go through AsciiDoc, it did not do any adjustment--hence the double-dashes will be seen in the resulting text that is rendered as preformatted fixed-width without converted into em-dashes.

2015-10-22Documentation: match underline with the textJunio C Hamano

2015-10-22Documentation: fix header markupXue Fuqiao

"git gc" is safe to run anytime only because it has the built-in grace period to protect young objects. In order to run with no grace period, the user must make sure that the repository is quiescent. * jc/doc-gc-prune-now: Documentation/gc: warn against --prune=<now>
2015-10-16usage: do not insist that standard input must come from a fileJunio C Hamano
The synopsys text and the usage string of subcommands that read list of things from the standard input are often shown like this: git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> This is problematic in a number of ways: * The way to use these commands is more often to feed them the output from another command, not feed them from a file. * Manual pages outside Git, commands that operate on the data read from the standard input, e.g "sort", "grep", "sed", etc., are not described with such a "< redirection-from-file" in their synopsys text. Our doing so introduces inconsistency. * We do not insist on where the output should go, by saying git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> > <output> * As it is our convention to enclose placeholders inside <braket>, the redirection operator followed by a placeholder filename becomes very hard to read, both in the documentation and in the help text. Let's clean them all up, after making sure that the documentation clearly describes the modes that take information from the standard input and what kind of things are expected on the input.
