- provide additional information (which is unsuitable for
the commit message) between the "---" and the diffstat
- send the patch to the list _and_ the maintainer
+ - if you change, add, or remove a command line option or
+ make some other user interface change, the associated
+ documentation should be updated as well.
Long version:
run git diff --check on your changes before you commit.
+ (1a) Try to be nice to older C compilers
+
+ We try to support wide range of C compilers to compile
+ git with. That means that you should not use C99 initializers, even
+ if a lot of compilers grok it.
+
+ Also, variables have to be declared at the beginning of the block
+ (you can check this with gcc, using the -Wdeclaration-after-statement
+ option).
+
+ Another thing: NULL pointers shall be written as NULL, not as 0.
+
+
(2) Generate your patch using git tools out of your commits.
git based diff tools (git, Cogito, and StGIT included) generate
+
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+ core.excludeFile::
+ In addition to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and
+ '.git/info/exclude', git looks into this file for patterns
+ of files which are not meant to be tracked.
+
alias.*::
Command aliases for the gitlink:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
branch.<name>.merge to the desired branch, and use the special setting
`.` (a period) for branch.<name>.remote.
+clean.requireForce::
+ A boolean to make git-clean do nothing unless given -f or -n. Defaults
+ to false.
+
color.branch::
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
gitlink:git-branch[1]. May be set to `true` (or `always`),
causes the client to treat all files as binary files which suppresses
any newline munging it otherwise might do. A work-around for the
fact that there is no way yet to set single files to mode '-kb'.
+
+gitcvs.dbname::
+ Database used by git-cvsserver to cache revision information
+ derived from the git repository. The exact meaning depends on the
+ used database driver, for SQLite (which is the default driver) this
+ is a filename. Supports variable substitution (see
+ gitlink:git-cvsserver[1] for details). May not contain semicolons (`;`).
+ Default: '%Ggitcvs.%m.sqlite'
+
+gitcvs.dbdriver::
+ Used Perl DBI driver. You can specify any available driver
+ for this here, but it might not work. git-cvsserver is tested
+ with 'DBD::SQLite', reported to work with 'DBD::Pg', and
+ reported *not* to work with 'DBD::mysql'. Experimental feature.
+ May not contain double colons (`:`). Default: 'SQLite'.
See gitlink:git-cvsserver[1].
+gitcvs.dbuser, gitcvs.dbpass::
+ Database user and password. Only useful if setting 'gitcvs.dbdriver',
+ since SQLite has no concept of database users and/or passwords.
+ 'gitcvs.dbuser' supports variable substitution (see
+ gitlink:git-cvsserver[1] for details).
+
+All gitcvs variables except for 'gitcvs.allbinary' can also specifed
+as 'gitcvs.<access_method>.<varname>' (where 'access_method' is one
+of "ext" and "pserver") to make them apply only for the given access
+method.
+
http.sslVerify::
Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY' environment
conflicts, 2 outputs conflicts and file changes. Level 5 and
above outputs debugging information. The default is level 2.
+merge.<driver>.name::
+ Defines a human readable name for a custom low-level
+ merge driver. See gitlink:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
+merge.<driver>.driver::
+ Defines the command that implements a custom low-level
+ merge driver. See gitlink:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
+merge.<driver>.recursive::
+ Names a low-level merge driver to be used when
+ performing an internal merge between common ancestors.
+ See gitlink:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
pack.window::
The size of the window used by gitlink:git-pack-objects[1] when no
window size is given on the command line. Defaults to 10.
+pack.depth::
+ The maximum delta depth used by gitlink:git-pack-objects[1] when no
+ maximum depth is given on the command line. Defaults to 50.
+
pull.octopus::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
at once.
user.email::
Your email address to be recorded in any newly created commits.
- Can be overridden by the 'GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL' and 'GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL'
- environment variables. See gitlink:git-commit-tree[1].
+ Can be overridden by the 'GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL', 'GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL', and
+ 'EMAIL' environment variables. See gitlink:git-commit-tree[1].

Your full name to be recorded in any newly created commits.
