Big tool rename. As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

DESCRIPTION

Accumulated documentation updates. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

This script is used to combine all objects that do not currently
reside in a "pack", into a pack.
A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with
delta compression applied, stored in a single file, with an
associated index file.
Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup
engines, disk storage, etc.
OPTIONS
-------
-a::
Instead of incrementally packing the unpacked objects,
pack everything available into a single pack.
Especially useful when packing a repository that is used
Fixed some typos in git-repack docs Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

for private development and there is no need to worry
about people fetching via dumb file transfer protocols
from it. Use with '-d'.

2005-08-30 02:21:06 +02:00
-d::
After packing, if the newly created packs make some
existing packs redundant, remove the redundant packs.
Several trivial documentation touch ups. Move incorrect asciidoc level 2 titles back to level 1. Show output of git-name-rev in man page example. Reword sentences that begin with a period (.) in asciidoc numbered lists to work around conversion to man page bug. Mention that git-repack now calls git-prune-packed when the -d option is passed to it. [imap] section headers in the config file example need to be contained in a literal block. imap.pass is the proper config file variable to use, not imap.password.

--window=[N], --depth=[N]::
Add default values for --window and --depth to the docs Currently, you actually have to read the source to find out the default values.

stored using delta compression. The objects are first internally
sorted by type, size and optionally names and compared against the
other objects within `--window` to see if using delta compression saves
space. `--depth` limits the maximum delta depth; making it too deep
affects the performance on the unpacker side, because delta data needs
to be applied that many times to get to the necessary object.

git-repack: repo.usedeltabaseoffset When configuration variable `repack.UseDeltaBaseOffset` is set for the repository, the command passes `--delta-base-offset` option to `git-pack-objects`; this typically results in slightly smaller packs, but the generated packs are incompatible with versions of git older than (and including) v1.4.3. We will make it default to true sometime in the future, but not for a while. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Configuration
-------------
When configuration variable `repack.UseDeltaBaseOffset` is set
for the repository, the command passes `--delta-base-offset`
option to `git-pack-objects`; this typically results in slightly
smaller packs, but the generated packs are incompatible with
versions of git older than (and including) v1.4.3; do not set
the variable in a repository that older version of git needs to
be able to read (this includes repositories from which packs can
be copied out over http or rsync, and people who obtained packs
that way can try to use older git with it).

[PATCH] Random documentation fixes The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy: - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on included files. - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional info. - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc. - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text. - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----) for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML block. - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists. - Fix linking to other GIT docs. - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.
