pack-protocol: fix first-want separator in the examples

2012-05-14T16:24:52Z

When sending the "want" list, the capabilities list is separated from the obj-id by a SP instead of NUL as in the ref advertisement. The text is correct, but the examples wrongly show the separator as NUL. Fix the example so it uses SP. Signed-off-by: Carlos Martín Nieto Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

pack-protocol: document "ERR" line

2011-10-03T21:57:36Z

Since a807328 (connect.c: add a way for git-daemon to pass an error back to client), git client recognizes "ERR" line and prints a friendly message to user if an error happens at server side. Document this. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Document the underlying protocol used by shallow repositories and --depth commands.

2011-06-09T01:08:21Z

Explain the exchange that occurs between a client and server when the client is requesting shallow history and/or is already using a shallow repository. Signed-off-by: Alex Neronskiy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Fix documentation of fetch-pack that implies that the client can disconnect after sending wants.

2011-06-09T01:08:20Z

Specify conditions under which the client can terminate the connection early. Previously, an unintended behavior was possible which could confuse servers. Based-on-patch-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Alex Neronskiy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

pack-protocol.txt: fix pkt-line lengths

2010-04-04T17:18:21Z

Update packfile transfer protocol documentation

2009-11-13T20:07:21Z

The current technical documentation for the packfile protocol is both sparse and incorrect. This documents the fetch-pack/upload-pack and send-pack/ receive-pack protocols much more fully. Add documentation from Shawn's upcoming http-protocol docs that is shared by the packfile protocol. protocol-common.txt describes ABNF notation amendments, refname rules and the packet line format. Add documentation on the various capabilities supported by the upload-pack and receive-pack protocols. protocol-capabilities.txt describes multi-ack, thin-pack, side-band[-64k], shallow, no-progress, include-tag, ofs-delta, delete-refs and report-status.
