grep: Add --max-depth option.
It is useful to grep directories non-recursively, e.g. when one wants to
look for all files in the toplevel directory, but not in any subdirectory,
or in Documentation/, but not in Documentation/technical/.
This patch adds support for --max-depth <depth> option to git-grep. If it is
given, git-grep descends at most <depth> levels of directories below paths
specified on the command line.
Note that if path specified on command line contains wildcards, this option
makes no sense, e.g.
$ git grep -l --max-depth 0 GNU -- 'contrib/*'
(note the quotes) will search all files in contrib/, even in
subdirectories, because '*' matches all files.
Documentation updates, bash-completion and simple test cases are also
provided.

Add an optional argument for --color options
Make git-branch, git-show-branch, git-grep, and all the diff-based
programs accept an optional argument <when> for --color. The argument
is a colorbool: "always", "never", or "auto". If no argument is given,
"always" is used; --no-color is an alias for --color=never. This makes
the command-line interface consistent with other GNU tools, such as `ls'
and `grep', and with the git-config color options. Note that, without
an argument, --color and --no-color work exactly as before.
To implement this, two internal changes were made:
1. Allow the first argument of git_config_colorbool() to be NULL,
in which case it returns -1 if the argument isn't "always", "never",
or "auto".
2. Add OPT_COLOR_FLAG(), OPT__COLOR(), and parse_opt_color_flag_cb()
to the option parsing library. The callback uses
git_config_colorbool(), so color.h is now a dependency
of parse-options.c.

DESCRIPTION

|
|
|
Look for specified patterns in the tracked files in the work tree, blobs
|
2012-05-20 14:33:07 +00:00
|
|
|
registered in the index file, or blobs in given tree objects. Patterns
|
|
|
|
are lists of one or more search expressions separated by newline
|
|
|
|
characters. An empty string as search expression matches all lines.

grep: add a grep.patternType configuration setting
The grep.extendedRegexp configuration setting enables the -E flag on grep
by default but there are no equivalents for the -G, -F and -P flags.
Rather than adding an additional setting for grep.fooRegexp for current
and future pattern matching options, add a grep.patternType setting that
can accept appropriate values for modifying the default grep pattern
matching behavior. The current values are "basic", "extended", "fixed",
"perl" and "default" for setting -G, -E, -F, -P and the default behavior
respectively.
When grep.patternType is set to a value other than "default", the
grep.extendedRegexp setting is ignored. The value of "default" restores
the current default behavior, including the grep.extendedRegexp
behavior.

Add an optional argument for --color options
Make git-branch, git-show-branch, git-grep, and all the diff-based
programs accept an optional argument <when> for --color. The argument
is a colorbool: "always", "never", or "auto". If no argument is given,
"always" is used; --no-color is an alias for --color=never. This makes
the command-line interface consistent with other GNU tools, such as `ls'
and `grep', and with the git-config color options. Note that, without
an argument, --color and --no-color work exactly as before.
To implement this, two internal changes were made:
1. Allow the first argument of git_config_colorbool() to be NULL,
in which case it returns -1 if the argument isn't "always", "never",
or "auto".
2. Add OPT_COLOR_FLAG(), OPT__COLOR(), and parse_opt_color_flag_cb()
to the option parsing library. The callback uses
git_config_colorbool(), so color.h is now a dependency
of parse-options.c.

docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.
It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:
1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
of `master{tilde}1`.
2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
quoting.
This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).
Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:
- HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")
- some code examples used the right-arrow character
instead of '->' because they failed to quote
- api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
HTML contained a bogus snippet like:
<tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>
which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
sections of the page.
- git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)
- mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
author@example.com
- the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".
- using "prime" notation like:
commit `C` and its replacement `C'`
confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
to be inside matched quotes
- asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
asterisks. In particular,
`credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`
properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
literally passed through the backslash in the second
case.

docs: put listed example commands in backticks
Many examples of git command invocation are given in asciidoc listing
blocks, which makes them monospaced and avoids further interpretation of
special characters. Some manpages make a list of examples, like:
git foo::
Run git foo.
git foo -q::
Use the "-q" option.
to quickly show many variants. However, they can sometimes be hard to
read, because they are shown in a proportional-width font (so, for
example, seeing the difference between "-- foo" and "--foo" can be
difficult).
This patch puts all such examples into backticks, which gives the
equivalent formatting to a listing block (i.e., monospaced and without
character interpretation).
As a bonus, this also fixes an example in the git-push manpage, in which
"git push origin :::" was accidentally considered a newly-indented list,
and not a list item with "git push origin :" in it.
