Merge branch 'eb/core-eol'

* eb/core-eol: Add "core.eol" config variable Rename the "crlf" attribute "text" Add per-repository eol normalization Add tests for per-repository eol normalization Conflicts: Documentation/config.txt Makefile

Add "core.eol" config variable

2010-06-07T04:20:04Z

Introduce a new configuration variable, "core.eol", that allows the user to set which line endings to use for end-of-line-normalized files in the working directory. It defaults to "native", which means CRLF on Windows and LF everywhere else. Note that "core.autocrlf" overrides core.eol. This means that [core] autocrlf = true puts CRLFs in the working directory even if core.eol is set to "lf". Signed-off-by: Eyvind Bernhardsen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Rename the "crlf" attribute "text"

2010-05-20T03:42:34Z

As discussed on the list, "crlf" is not an optimal name. Linus suggested "text", which is much better. Signed-off-by: Eyvind Bernhardsen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Add per-repository eol normalization

2010-05-20T03:36:15Z

Change the semantics of the "crlf" attribute so that it enables end-of-line normalization when it is set, regardless of "core.autocrlf". Add a new setting for "crlf": "auto", which enables end-of-line conversion but does not override the automatic text file detection. Add a new attribute "eol" with possible values "crlf" and "lf". When set, this attribute enables normalization and forces git to use CRLF or LF line endings in the working directory, respectively. The line ending style to be used for normalized text files in the working directory is set using "core.autocrlf". When it is set to "true", CRLFs are used in the working directory; when set to "input" or "false", LFs are used. Signed-off-by: Eyvind Bernhardsen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff: add --word-diff option that generalizes --color-words

2010-04-14T17:56:53Z

This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that supports two new modes: * --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to 'wdiff -n '): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+} * --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable format: - each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as in unified diff - newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a tilde '~' Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it to highlight the differences. --color-words becomes a synonym for --word-diff=color, which is the color-only format. Also adds some compatibility/convenience options. Thanks to Junio C Hamano and Miles Bader for good ideas. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff: cache textconv output

2010-04-02T07:05:31Z

Running a textconv filter can take a long time. It's particularly bad for a large file which needs to be spooled to disk, but even for small files, the fork+exec overhead can add up for something like "git log -p". This patch uses the notes-cache mechanism to keep a fast cache of textconv output. Caches are stored in refs/notes/textconv/$x, where $x is the userdiff driver defined in gitattributes. Caching is enabled only if diff.$x.cachetextconv is true. In my test repo, on a commit with 45 jpg and avi files changed and a textconv to show their exif tags: [before] $ time git show >/dev/null real 0m13.724s user 0m12.057s sys 0m1.624s [after, first run] $ git config diff.mfo.cachetextconv true $ time git show >/dev/null real 0m14.252s user 0m12.197s sys 0m1.800s [after, subsequent runs] $ time git show >/dev/null real 0m0.352s user 0m0.148s sys 0m0.200s So for a slight (3.8%) cost on the first run, we achieve an almost 40x speed up on subsequent runs.

Documentation: mention conflict marker size argument (%L) for merge driver

2010-02-23T21:11:28Z

23a64c9e (conflict-marker-size: new attribute, 2010-01-16) introduced the new attribute and also pass the conflict marker size as %L to merge driver commands. This documents the substitution. Signed-off-by: Bert Wesarg Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout

2010-01-10T12:01:28Z

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.
