Denton Liu d9f15d37f1 pull: pass --autostash to merge
Before, `--autostash` only worked with `git pull --rebase`. However, in
the last patch, merge learned `--autostash` as well so there's no reason
why we should have this restriction anymore. Teach pull to pass
`--autostash` to merge, just like it did for rebase.

Damien Robert acbfae32a3 doc: --recurse-submodules mostly applies to active submodules
The documentation refers to "initialized" or "populated" submodules,
to explain which submodules are affected by '--recurse-submodules', but
the real terminology here is 'active' submodules. Update the
documentation accordingly.

Some terminology:
- Active is defined in gitsubmodules(7), it only involves the
  configuration variables 'submodule.active', 'submodule.<name>.active'
  and 'submodule.<name>.url'. The function
  submodule.c::is_submodule_active checks that a submodule is active.
- Populated means that the submodule's working tree is present (and the
  gitfile correctly points to the submodule repository), i.e. either the
  superproject was cloned with ` --recurse-submodules`, or the user ran
  `git submodule update --init`, or `git submodule init [<path>]` and
  `git submodule update [<path>]` separately which populated the
  submodule working tree. This does not involve the 3 configuration
  variables above.
- Initialized (at least in the context of the man pages involved in this
  patch) means both "populated" and "active" as defined above, i.e. what
  `git submodule update --init` does.

The --recurse-submodules option mostly affects active submodules. An
exception is `git fetch` where the option affects populated submodules.
As a consequence, in `git pull --recurse-submodules` the fetch affects
populated submodules, but the resulting working tree update only affects
active submodules.

In the documentation of `git-pull`, let's distinguish between the
fetching part which affects populated submodules, and the updating of
worktrees, which only affects active submodules.

Mark Rushakoff 6d16922798 doc: typo: s/can not/cannot/ and s/is does/does/
"Can not" suggests one has the option to not do something, whereas
"cannot" more strongly suggests something is disallowed or impossible.

Noticed "can not", mistakenly used instead of "cannot" in git help
glossary, then ran git grep 'can not' and found many other instances.
Only files in the Documentation folder were modified.

'Can not' also occurs in some source code comments and some test
assertion messages, and there is an error message and translation "can
not move directory into itself" which I may fix and submit separately
from the documentation change.

Similar to the `preserve` mode simply passing the `--preserve-merges`
option to the `rebase` command, the `merges` mode simply passes the
`--rebase-merges` option.

This will allow users to conveniently rebase non-trivial commit
topologies when pulling new commits, without flattening them.

Junio C Hamano c9c63ee558 Merge branch 'sb/pull-rebase-submodule'
"git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules" learns to rebase the
branch in the submodules to an updated base.

* sb/pull-rebase-submodule:
  builtin/fetch cleanup: always set default value for submodule recursing
  pull: optionally rebase submodules (remote submodule changes only)
  builtin/fetch: parse recurse-submodules-default at default options parsing

Stefan Beller a6d7eb2c7a pull: optionally rebase submodules (remote submodule changes only)
Teach pull to optionally update submodules when '--recurse-submodules'
is provided.  This will teach pull to run 'submodule update --rebase'
when the '--recurse-submodules' and '--rebase' flags are given under
specific circumstances.

On a rebase workflow:
=====================

1. Both sides change the submodule
 ------------------------------
Let's assume the following history in a submodule:

  H---I---J---K---L local branch
       \
        M---N---O---P remote branch

and the following in the superproject (recorded submodule in parens):

  A(H)---B(I)---F(K)---G(L)  local branch
          \
           C(N)---D(N)---E(P) remote branch

In an ideal world this would rebase the submodule and rewrite
the submodule pointers that the superproject points at such that
the superproject looks like

  A(H)---B(I)              F(K')---G(L')  rebased branch
           \                /
           C(N)---D(N)---E(P) remote branch

and the submodule as:

        J---K---L (old dangeling tip)
       /
  H---I               J'---K'---L' rebased branch
       \             /
        M---N---O---P remote branch

And if a conflict arises in the submodule the superproject rebase
would stop at that commit at which the submodule conflict occurs.

Currently a "pull --rebase" in the superproject produces
a merge conflict as the submodule pointer changes are
conflicting and cannot be resolved.

2. Local submodule changes only
 -----------------------
Assuming histories as above, except that the remote branch
would not contain submodule changes, then a result as

  A(H)---B(I)               F(K)---G(L)  rebased branch
           \                /
           C(I)---D(I)---E(I) remote branch

is desire-able. This is what currently happens in rebase.

If the recursive flag is given, the ideal git would
produce a superproject as:

  A(H)---B(I)              F(K')---G(L')  rebased branch (incl. sub rebase!)
           \                /
           C(I)---D(I)---E(I) remote branch

and the submodule as:

        J---K---L (old dangeling tip)
       /
  H---I               J'---K'---L' locally rebased branch
       \             /
        M---N---O---P advanced branch

This patch doesn't address this issue, however
a test is added that this fails up front.

3. Remote submodule changes only
 ----------------------
Assuming histories as in (1) except that the local superproject branch
would not have touched the submodule the rebase already works out in the
superproject with no conflicts:

  A(H)---B(I)               F(P)---G(P)  rebased branch (no sub changes)
           \                 /
           C(N)---D(N)---E(P) remote branch

The recurse flag as presented in this patch would additionally
update the submodule as:

  H---I              J'---K'---L' rebased branch
       \            /
        M---N---O---P remote branch

As neither J, K, L nor J', K', L' are referred to from the superproject,
no rewriting of the superproject commits is required.

Conclusion for 'pull --rebase --recursive'
 -----------------------------------------
If there are no local superproject changes it is sufficient to call
"submodule update --rebase" as this produces the desired results. In case
of conflicts, the behavior is the same as in 'submodule update --recursive'
which is assumed to be sane.

This patch implements (3) only.

On a merge workflow:
====================

We'll start off with the same underlying DAG as in (1) in the rebase
workflow. So in an ideal world a 'pull --merge --recursive' would
produce this:

  H---I---J---K---L----X
       \              /
        M---N---O---P

with X as the new merge-commit in the submodule and the superproject
as:

  A(H)---B(I)---F(K)---G(L)---Y(X)
          \                  /
           C(N)---D(N)---E(P)

However modifying the submodules on the fly is not supported in git-merge
such that Y(X) is not easy to produce in a single patch. In fact git-merge
doesn't know about submodules at all.

However when at least one side does not contain commits touching the
submodule at all, then we do not need to perform the merge for the
submodule but a fast-forward can be done via checking out either L or P
in the submodule.  This strategy is implemented in 68d03e4a6e (Implement
automatic fast-forward merge for submodules, 2010-07-07) already, so
to align with the rebase behavior we need to also update the worktree
of the submodule.

Adam Dinwoodie 0c79cee697 docs: fix formatting and grammar
When compiling the documentation, asciidoc thinks a backtick surrounded
by whitespace shouldn't be interpreted as marking the start or end of a
literal.  In most cases, that's useful behaviour, but in the git-pull
documentation it means asciidoc is failing to correctly detect which
text should be monospaced and which shouldn't.

To avoid this, remove the extraneous spaces from the text to be
monospaced.  It would also be possible to fix the formatting by
switching to asciidoc's ++ monospace format markers and still have the
space characters included in the monospace text, but the spaces aren't
necessary and not having them keeps the markup simpler.

Also include a minor grammar fix suggested by Jeff while we're changing
these lines.

Mehul Jain f66398eb57 pull --rebase: add --[no-]autostash flag
If rebase.autoStash configuration variable is set, there is no way to
override it for "git pull --rebase" from the command line.

Teach "git pull --rebase" the --[no-]autostash command line flag which
overrides the current value of rebase.autoStash, if set. As "git rebase"
understands the --[no-]autostash option, it's just a matter of passing
the option to underlying "git rebase" when "git pull --rebase" is called.

Johannes Schindelin f5eb87b98d pull: allow interactive rebase with --rebase=interactive
A couple of years ago, I found the need to collaborate on topic
branches that were rebased all the time, and I really needed to see
what I was rebasing when pulling, so I introduced an
interactively-rebasing pull.

The way builtin pull works, this change also supports the value
'interactive' for the 'branch.<name>.rebase' config variable, which
is a neat thing because users can now configure given branches for
interactively-rebasing pulls without having to type out the complete
`--rebase=interactive` option every time they pull.

Paul Tan eb2a8d9ed3 pull: handle git-fetch's options as well
While parsing the command-line arguments, git-pull stops parsing at the
first unrecognized option, assuming that any subsequent options are for
git-fetch, and can thus be kept in the shell's positional parameters
list, so that it can be passed to git-fetch via the expansion of "$@".

However, certain functions in git-pull assume that the positional
parameters do not contain any options:

* error_on_no_merge_candidates() uses the number of positional
  parameters to determine which error message to print out, and will
  thus print the wrong message if git-fetch's options are passed in as
  well.

* the call to get_remote_merge_branch() assumes that the positional
  parameters only contains the optional repo and refspecs, and will
  thus silently fail if git-fetch's options are passed in as well.

* --dry-run is a valid git-fetch option, but if provided after any
  git-fetch options, it is not recognized by git-pull and thus git-pull
  will continue to run the merge or rebase.

Fix these bugs by teaching git-pull to parse git-fetch's options as
well. Add tests to prevent regressions.

This removes the limitation where git-fetch's options have to come after
git-merge's and git-rebase's options on the command line. Update the
documentation to reflect this.

Stephen Haberman 66713ef3b0 pull: allow pull to preserve merges when rebasing
If a user is working on master, and has merged in their feature branch, but now
has to "git pull" because master moved, with pull.rebase their feature branch
will be flattened into master.

This is because "git pull" currently does not know about rebase's preserve
merges flag, which would avoid this behavior, as it would instead replay just
the merge commit of the feature branch onto the new master, and not replay each
individual commit in the feature branch.

Add a --rebase=preserve option, which will pass along --preserve-merges to
rebase.

Also add 'preserve' to the allowed values for the pull.rebase config setting.

Miklos Vajna d9aa361043 man: git pull -r is a short for --rebase
Letting the "--rebase" option squat on the short-and-sweet single
letter option "-r" was an unintended accident and was not even
documented, but the short option seems to be already used in the
wild. Let's document it so that other options that begin with "r"
would not be tempted to steal it.

Jeff King 6cf378f0cb 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.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 6b37dff17f pull: introduce a pull.rebase option to enable --rebase
Currently we either need to set branch.<name>.rebase for existing
branches if we'd like "git pull" to mean "git pull --rebase", or have
the forethought of setting "branch.autosetuprebase" before we create
the branch.

Introduce a "pull.rebase" option to globally configure "git pull" to
mean "git pull --rebase" for any branch.

This option will be considered at a lower priority than
branch.<name>.rebase, i.e. we could set pull.rebase=true and
branch.<name>.rebase=false and the latter configuration option would
win.

Martin von Zweigbergk 7791a1d9b9 Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sections
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already
use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span
several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse]
does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section
indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that
use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections
for consistency.

Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to
align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which
already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to
the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting
within the document more consistent.

While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with
other commands.

Jeff King 48bb914ed6 doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages
The point of these sections is generally to:

  1. Give credit where it is due.

  2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
     file bug reports.

But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame.  For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.

So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.

Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

Jens Lehmann 794a3592ad fetch/pull: Describe --recurse-submodule restrictions in the BUGS section
Using the --recurse-submodules option with fetch and pull might not always
fetch all the submodule commits the user expects, as this will only work
when the submodule is already checked out. Document that and warn that
this is expected to change in the future.

Until now the --recurse-submodules option could only be used to either
fetch all populated submodules recursively or to disable recursion
completely. As fetch and pull now by default just fetch those submodules
for which new commits have been fetched in the superproject, a command
line option to enforce that behavior is needed to be able to override
configuration settings.
