Documentation: typofixes

In addition to fixing trivial and obvious typos, be careful about the following points: - Spell ASCII, URL and CRC in ALL CAPS; - Spell Linux as Capitalized; - Do not omit periods in "i.e." and "e.g.". Signed-off-by: Thomas Ackermann Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

run-command: add env_array, an optional argv_array for env

2014-10-19T22:26:31Z

Similar to args, add a struct argv_array member to struct child_process that simplifies specifying the environment for children. It is freed automatically by finish_command() or if start_command() encounters an error. Suggested-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

fdopen_lock_file(): access a lockfile using stdio

2014-10-01T21:08:10Z

Add a new function, fdopen_lock_file(), which returns a FILE pointer open to the lockfile. If a stream is open on a lock_file object, it is closed using fclose() on commit, rollback, or close_lock_file(). This change will allow callers to use stdio to write to a lockfile without having to muck around in the internal representation of the lock_file object (callers will be rewritten in upcoming commits).

get_locked_file_path(): new function

2014-10-01T20:53:54Z

Add a function to return the path of the file that is locked by a lock_file object. This reduces the knowledge that callers have to have about the lock_file layout. Suggested-by: Ronnie Sahlberg Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

lockfile: rename LOCK_NODEREF to LOCK_NO_DEREF

2014-10-01T20:53:28Z

This makes it harder to misread the name as LOCK_NODE_REF. Suggested-by: Torsten Bögershausen Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
