From 60fe3079670b07187d6db2b7d952500c24b19db0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Reisner Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2014 21:07:41 -0400 Subject: add checkout verb, to make bite-sized git repos This allows you to create a repo as a child of asp's, which you can modify as you wish, and continue to pull changes from after calling 'abs update'. One might create a new remote for this repo in which to publish their own downstream branch. --- man/asp.1.txt | 10 +++++++++- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'man') diff --git a/man/asp.1.txt b/man/asp.1.txt index f94fe8c..c318d3c 100644 --- a/man/asp.1.txt +++ b/man/asp.1.txt @@ -23,12 +23,20 @@ Commands -------- The following commands are understood: +*checkout*:: + Create a new git repository containing the full source and history + for each of the given targets. The new repository will pull from the + repository in '$ASPROOT' and must be updated separately after using + 'abs update'. If a checkout occurs on the same filesystem as '$ASPROOT', + most of the metadata can be hard linked, making this a relatively cheap + copy. + *difflog*:: Show the full revision history of the target, with file diffs. *export*:: Dump the build source files for each target into a directory of the - target's name in $PWD. Targets can be specified simply as 'package' to + target's name in '$PWD'. Targets can be specified simply as 'package' to check out the source files at HEAD, or in 'repository/package' format to checkout the source files which were used to push the 'package' which exists in 'repository'. -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
