[PATCH] Let umask do its work upon filesystem object creation.

2005-07-06T17:39:59Z

IIRC our strategy was to let the users' umask take care of the final mode bits. This patch fixes places that deviate from it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

git-init-db: create "pack" subdirectory under objects

2005-06-28T01:26:11Z

Don't make the user have to mkdir it just because he's excited about the new object pack functionality, do it for him.

git-init-db: set up the full default environment

2005-05-30T17:20:44Z

Create .git/refs/{heads,tags} and make .git/HEAD be a symlink to (the as yet non-existent) .git/refs/heads/master.

sparse cleanup

2005-05-20T18:46:10Z

Fix various things that sparse complains about: - use NULL instead of 0 - make sure we declare everything properly, or mark it static - use proper function declarations ("fn(void)" instead of "fn()") Sparse is always right.

Introduce GIT_DIR environment variable.

2005-05-10T05:57:58Z

During the mailing list discussion on renaming GIT_ environment variables, people felt that having one environment that lets the user (or Porcelain) specify both SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY (now GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY) and GIT_INDEX_FILE for the default layout would be handy. This change introduces GIT_DIR environment variable, from which the defaults for GIT_INDEX_FILE and GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY are derived. When GIT_DIR is not defined, it defaults to ".git". GIT_INDEX_FILE defaults to "$GIT_DIR/index" and GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY defaults to "$GIT_DIR/objects". Special thanks for ideas and discussions go to Petr Baudis and Daniel Barkalow. Bugs are mine ;-) Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Rename environment variables.

2005-05-10T00:57:56Z

H. Peter Anvin mentioned that using SHA1_whatever as an environment variable name is not nice and we should instead use names starting with "GIT_" prefix to avoid conflicts. Here is what this patch does: * Renames the following environment variables: New name Old Name GIT_AUTHOR_DATE AUTHOR_DATE GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL AUTHOR_EMAIL GIT_AUTHOR_NAME AUTHOR_NAME GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL GIT_COMMITTER_NAME COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY * Introduces a compatibility macro, gitenv(), which does an getenv() and if it fails calls gitenv_bc(), which in turn picks up the value from old name while giving a warning about using an old name. * Changes all users of the environment variable to fetch environment variable with the new name using gitenv(). * Updates the documentation and scripts shipped with Linus GIT distribution. The transition plan is as follows: * We will keep the backward compatibility list used by gitenv() for now, so the current scripts and user environments continue to work as before. The users will get warnings when they have old name but not new name in their environment to the stderr. * The Porcelain layers should start using new names. However, just in case it ends up calling old Plumbing layer implementation, they should also export old names, taking values from the corresponding new names, during the transition period. * After a transition period, we would drop the compatibility support and drop gitenv(). Revert the callers to directly call getenv() but keep using the new names. The last part is probably optional and the transition duration needs to be set to a reasonable value.
