Lint for and fix the three manual pages that were missing the standard "Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite" end section. We only do this for the man[157] section documents (we don't have anything outside those sections), not files to be included, howto *.txt files etc. We could also add this to the existing (and then renamed) lint-gitlink.perl, but I'm not doing that here. Obviously all of that fits in one script, but I think for something like this that's a one-off script with global variables it's much harder to follow when a large part of your script is some if/else or keeping/resetting of state simply to work around the script doing two things instead of one. Especially because in this case this script wants to process the file as one big string, but lint-gitlink.perl wants to look at it one line at a time. We could also consolidate this whole thing and t/check-non-portable-shell.pl, but that one likes to join lines as part of its shell parsing. So let's just add another script, whole scaffolding is basically: use strict; use warnings; sub report { ... } my $code = 0; while (<>) { ... } exit $code; We'd spend more lines effort trying to consolidate them than just copying that around.

NAME

|

gitnamespaces - Git namespaces
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
GIT_NAMESPACE=<namespace> 'git upload-pack'
|
|
GIT_NAMESPACE=<namespace> 'git receive-pack'
|

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Git supports dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple
|
|
namespaces, each of which has its own branches, tags, and HEAD. Git can
|
|
expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from and push
|
|
to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs to
|
|
operations such as linkgit:git-gc[1].
|
|
|
|
Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository
|
|
avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when
|
|
storing multiple branches of the same source. The alternates mechanism
|
|
provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not
|
|
prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories
|
|
without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do.
|
|
|
|
To specify a namespace, set the `GIT_NAMESPACE` environment variable to
|
|
the namespace. For each ref namespace, Git stores the corresponding
|
|
refs in a directory under `refs/namespaces/`. For example,
|
|
`GIT_NAMESPACE=foo` will store refs under `refs/namespaces/foo/`. You
|
|
can also specify namespaces via the `--namespace` option to
|
|
linkgit:git[1].
|
|
|
|
Note that namespaces which include a `/` will expand to a hierarchy of
|
|
namespaces; for example, `GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar` will store refs under
|
|
`refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/`. This makes paths in
|
|
`GIT_NAMESPACE` behave hierarchically, so that cloning with
|
|
`GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar` produces the same result as cloning with
|
|
`GIT_NAMESPACE=foo` and cloning from that repo with `GIT_NAMESPACE=bar`. It
|
|
also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as `foo/refs/heads/`,
|
|
which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts within the `refs`
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
linkgit:git-upload-pack[1] and linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] rewrite the
|
|
names of refs as specified by `GIT_NAMESPACE`. git-upload-pack and
|
|
git-receive-pack will ignore all references outside the specified
|
|
namespace.
|
|
|
|
The smart HTTP server, linkgit:git-http-backend[1], will pass
|
|
GIT_NAMESPACE through to the backend programs; see
|
|
linkgit:git-http-backend[1] for sample configuration to expose
|
|
repository namespaces as repositories.
|
|
|
|
For a simple local test, you can use linkgit:git-remote-ext[1]:
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
git clone ext::'git --namespace=foo %s /tmp/prefixed.git'
