Documentation: link to gitrevisions rather than git-rev-parse

2010-07-05T20:39:13Z

Currently, whenever we need documentation for revisions and ranges, we link to the git-rev-parse man page, i.e. a plumbing man page, which has this along with the documentation of all rev-parse modes. Link to the new gitrevisions man page instead in all cases except - when the actual git-rev-parse command is referred to or - in very technical context (git-send-pack).

Rename ONE_FILESYSTEM to DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM

2010-04-04T22:55:29Z

If a missing ONE_FILESYSTEM defaults to true, the only users who set this variable set it to false to tell git not to limit the discovery to one filesystem; there are too many negations in one sentence to make a simple panda brain dizzy. Use the variable GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM that changes the behaviour from the default "limit to one filesystem" to "cross the boundary as I ask you to"; makes the semantics much more straight forward.

GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM: flip the default to stop at filesystem boundaries

2010-04-04T17:33:53Z

Regarding the new environment variable, Linus Torvalds writes on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 in : I suspect that it is _very_ unusual to have a source repo that crosses multiple filesystems, and the original reason for this patch-series seems to me to be likely to be more common than that multi-fs case. So having the logic go the other way would seem to match the common case, no? The "crossing filesystem boundary" condition is checked by comparing st_dev field in the result from stat(2). This is slightly worrysome if non-POSIX ports return different values in the field even for directories in the same work tree extracted to the same "filesystem". Erik Faye-Lund confirms that in the msysgit port st_dev is 0, so this should be safe, as "even Windows is safe" ;-) This will affect those who use /.git to cram /etc and /home/me in the same repostiory, /home is mounted from non-root filesystem, and a git operation is done from inside /home/me/src. But that is such a corner case we don't want to give preference over helping people who will benefit from having this default so that they do not have to suffer from slow automounters.
