meson: make GIT_HTML_PATH configurable

2025-11-06T17:58:56Z

Makefile-based builds can configure Git's internal HTML_PATH by defining htmldir, which is useful for packagers that put documentation in different locations. Gentoo, for example, uses version-suffixed directories like ${prefix}/share/doc/git-2.51 and puts the HTML documentation in an 'html' subdirectory of the same. Propagate the same configuration knob to Meson-based builds so that "git --html-path" on such systems can be configured to output the correct directory. Signed-off-by: D.

meson: introduce a "docs" alias to compile documentation only

2025-09-11T16:57:24Z

Meson does not currently provide a target to compile documentation, only. Instead, users needs to compile the whole project, which may be way more than they really intend to do. Introduce a new "docs" alias to plug this gap. This alias can be invoked e.g. with `meson compile docs`. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

contrib/contacts: rename .txt to .adoc

2025-03-01T18:00:51Z

The .txt extensions were changed to .adoc in 1f010d6bdf (doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc files, 2025-01-20). Do the same for contrib/contacts. Signed-off-by: Todd Zullinger Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

meson: wire up git-contacts(1)

2025-02-18T19:40:04Z

Wire up the build for git-contacts(1) in Meson. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-contacts: also recognise "Reported-by:"

2017-07-27T16:42:55Z

It's nice to cc someone that reported a bug, in order to let them know that a fix is being considered, and possibly even get their help in reviewing/testing the patch. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

contacts: add a Makefile to generate docs and install

2014-10-15T22:18:27Z

Also add a gitignore file for generated files. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Schuberth Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-contacts: do not fail parsing of good diffs

2014-02-18T23:10:47Z

If a line in a patch starts with "--- " it will be deemed malformed unless it also contains the proper diff header format. This situation can happen with a valid patch if it has a line starting with "-- " and that line is removed. This patch just removes the check in git-contacts.

contacts: fix to work in subdirectories

2013-09-18T05:16:22Z

Unlike other git commands which work correctly at the top-level or in a subdirectory, git-contacts fails when invoked in a subdirectory. This is because it invokes git-blame with pathnames relative to the top-level, but git-blame interprets the pathnames as relative to the current directory. Fix this.

contacts: reduce git-blame invocations

2013-08-13T16:09:03Z

git-contacts invokes git-blame once for each patch hunk it encounters. No attempt is made to consolidate invocations for multiple hunks referencing the same file at the same revision. This can become expensive quickly. Reduce the number of git-blame invocations by taking advantage of the ability to specify multiple -L ranges for a single invocation. Without this patch, on a randomly chosen range of commits: % time git-contacts 25fba78d36be6297^..23c339c0f262aad2 >/dev/null real 0m6.142s user 0m5.429s sys 0m0.356s With this patch: % time git-contacts 25fba78d36be6297^..23c339c0f262aad2 >/dev/null real 0m2.285s user 0m2.093s sys 0m0.165s Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

contacts: gather all blame sources prior to invoking git-blame

2013-08-13T16:09:01Z

git-contacts invokes git-blame immediately upon encountering a patch hunk. No attempt is made to consolidate invocations for multiple hunks referencing the same file at the same revision. This can become expensive quickly. Any effort to reduce the number of times git-blame is run will need to to know in advance which line ranges to blame per file per revision. Make this information available by collecting all sources as a distinct step from invoking git-blame. A subsequent patch will utilize the information to optimize git-blame invocations.
