Junio C Hamano	d387868a7d	merge: backport GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT support Even though 1.7.9.x series does not open the editor by default when merging in general, it does do so in one occassion: when merging an annotated tag. And worse yet, there is no good way for older scripts to decline this. Backport the support for GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable from 1.7.10 track to help those stuck on 1.7.9.x maintenance track. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	13 years ago
Junio C Hamano	690b297582	Documentation/merge-options.txt: group "ff" related options together The --ff-only option was not described next to --ff and --no-ff options in "git merge" documentation, even though these three are logically together, describing how to choose one of three possibilities. Also the description for '--ff' and '--no-ff' discussed what '--ff' means, and mentioned '--no-ff' as if it were a side-note to '--ff'. Make them into three top-level entries and list them together. This way, it would be more clear that the user can choose one from these three. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	13 years ago
Junio C Hamano	f8246281af	merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions Traditionally, a cleanly resolved merge was committed by "git merge" using the auto-generated merge commit log message without invoking the editor. After 5 years of use in the field, it turns out that people perform too many unjustified merges of the upstream history into their topic branches. These merges are not just useless, but they are often not explained well, and making the end result unreadable when it gets time for merging their history back to their upstream. Earlier we added the "--edit" option to the command, so that people can edit the log message to explain and justify their merge commits. Let's take it one step further and spawn the editor by default when we are in an interactive session (i.e. the standard input and the standard output are pointing at the same tty device). There may be existing scripts that leave the standard input and the standard output of the "git merge" connected to whatever environment the scripts were started, and such invocation might trigger the above "interactive session" heuristics. GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable can be set to "no" at the beginning of such scripts to use the historical behaviour while the script runs. Note that this backward compatibility is meant only for scripts, and we deliberately do not support "merge.edit = yes/no/auto" configuration option to allow people to keep the historical behaviour.

Jack Nagel	aad2a07cfc	Documentation: fix formatting error in merge-options.txt The first paragraph inside of a list item does not need a preceding line consisting of a single '+', and in fact this causes the text to be misrendered.

Jay Soffian	66f4b98ad9	Teach merge the '[-e\|--edit]' option Implemented internally instead of as "git merge --no-commit && git commit" so that "merge --edit" is otherwise consistent (hooks, etc) with "merge". Note: the edit message does not include the status information that one gets with "commit --status" and it is cleaned up after editing like one gets with "commit --cleanup=default". A later patch could add the status information if desired. Note: previously we were not calling stripspace() after running the prepare-commit-msg hook. Now we are, stripping comments and leading/trailing whitespace lines if --edit is given, otherwise only stripping leading/trailing whitespace lines if not given --edit.

Jeff King	99bfc6691d	merge: enable progress reporting for rename detection The user can enable or disable it explicitly with the new --progress, but it defaults to checking isatty(2). This works only with merge-recursive and subtree. In theory we could pass a progress flag to other strategies, but none of them support progress at this point, so let's wait until they grow such a feature before worrying about propagating it.

Tay Ray Chuan	409b8d82df	Documentation/git-pull: put verbosity options before merge/fetch ones After `3f7a9b5` (Documentation/git-pull.txt: Add subtitles above included option files, Thu Oct 22 2009), the -q/-v options were mentioned only for the merge options section, giving the impression that git-fetch did not take those arguments. Follow `90e4311` (git-pull: do not mention --quiet and --verbose twice, Mon Sep 7 2009) and hide -q/-v for merge options, while mentioning -q/-v before the merge- and fetch-specific options.

Thomas Rast	0b444cdb19	Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in `647ac70` (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.	15 years ago
Björn Gustavsson	134748353b	Teach 'git merge' and 'git pull' the option --ff-only For convenience in scripts and aliases, add the option --ff-only to only allow fast-forwards (and up-to-date, despite the name). Disallow combining --ff-only and --no-ff, since they flatly contradict each other. Allow all other options to be combined with --ff-only (i.e. do not add any code to handle them specially), including the following options: * --strategy (one or more): As long as the chosen merge strategy results in up-to-date or fast-forward, the command will succeed. * --squash: I cannot imagine why anyone would want to squash commits only if fast-forward is possible, but I also see no reason why it should not be allowed. * --message: The message will always be ignored, but I see no need to explicitly disallow providing a redundant message. Acknowledgements: I did look at Yuval Kogman's earlier patch (107768 in gmane), mainly as shortcut to find my way in the code, but I did not copy anything directly.

Stephan Beyer	3240240ff4	Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f\|--foo:: -f \| --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

Lars Hjemli	d66424c4ac	git-merge: add --ff and --no-ff options These new options can be used to control the policy for fast-forward merges: --ff allows it (this is the default) while --no-ff will create a merge commit.

Lars Hjemli	d08af0ad74	git-merge: add support for --commit and --no-squash These options can be used to override --no-commit and --squash, which is needed since --no-commit and --squash now can be specified as default merge options in $GIT_DIR/config. The change also introduces slightly different behavior for --no-commit: when specified, it explicitly overrides --squash. Earlier, 'git merge --squash --no-commit' would result in a squashed merge (i.e. no $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD was created) but with this patch the command will behave as if --squash hadn't been specified.

Junio C Hamano	7d0c68871a	git-merge --squash Some people tend to do many little commits on a topic branch, recording all the trials and errors, and when the topic is reasonably cooked well, would want to record the net effect of the series as one commit on top of the mainline, removing the cruft from the history. The topic is then abandoned or forked off again from that point at the mainline. The barebone porcelainish that comes with core git tools does not officially support such operation, but you can fake it by using "git pull --no-merge" when such a topic branch is not a strict superset of the mainline, like this: git checkout mainline git pull --no-commit . that-topic-branch : fix conflicts if any rm -f .git/MERGE_HEAD git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message' git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged This however does not work when the topic branch is a fast forward of the mainline, because normal "git pull" will never create a merge commit in such a case, and there is nothing special --no-commit could do to begin with. This patch introduces a new option, --squash, to support such a workflow officially in both fast-forward case and true merge case. The user-level operation would be the same in both cases: git checkout mainline git pull --squash . that-topic-branch : fix conflicts if any -- naturally, there would be : no conflict if fast forward. git commit -a -m 'consolidated commit log message' git branch -f that-topic-branch ;# now fully merged When the current branch is already up-to-date with respect to the other branch, there truly is nothing to do, so the new option does not have any effect.
