77 This page allows you to specify which of the TortoiseGit context menu\r

79 in the TortoiseGit submenu. By default most items are unchecked and\r
80 appear in the submenu.\r

83 Most of the time, you won't need the TortoiseGit context menu, apart\r
84 for folders that are under version control by Git. For non-\r
85 versioned folders, you only really need the context menu when you\r
86 want to do a checkout. If you check the option <literal>Hide menus\r
87 for unversioned paths</literal>, TortoiseGit will not add its entries\r
88 to the context menu for unversioned folders. But the entries are\r
89 added for all items and paths in a versioned folder. And you can\r
90 get the entries back for unversioned folders by holding the \r
91 <keycap>Shift</keycap> key down while showing the context menu.\r

151 <listitem>\r
152 <para>\r
153 Normally log entries/commits are ordered in descending order of the commit date.\r
154 '--topo-order' makes the commits appear in topological order (i.e. descendant\r
155 commits are shown before their parents). Not using this option, might break\r
156 the graph in the log dialog. However, this option is slower, because all\r
157 log entries have to be processed before displaying them.\r

165 If you frequently find yourself comparing revisions in the top\r
166 pane of the log dialog, you can use this option to allow that\r
167 action on double-click. It is not enabled by default because\r
168 fetching the diff is often a long process, and many people\r
169 prefer to avoid the wait after an accidental double-click,\r
170 which is why this option is not enabled by default.\r

177 <listitem>\r
178 <para>\r
179 TortoiseGit can automatically close all progress dialogs \r
180 when the action is finished without error. This setting\r
181 allows you to select the conditions for closing the\r
182 dialogs. The default (recommended) setting is\r
183 <guilabel>Close manually</guilabel>\r
184 which allows you to review all messages and check what\r
185 has happened. However, you may decide that you want to\r
186 ignore some types of message and have the dialog\r
187 close automatically if there are no critical changes.\r
188 </para>\r
189 <para>\r
190 <guilabel>Auto-close if no merges, adds or deletes</guilabel>\r
191 means that the progress dialog will close if there were\r
192 simple updates, but if changes from the repository were\r
193 merged with yours, or if any files were added or deleted,\r
194 the dialog will remain open. It will also stay open if\r
195 there were any conflicts or errors during the operation.\r
196 </para>\r
197 <para>\r
198 <guilabel>Auto-close if no merges, adds or deletes for\r
199 local operations</guilabel> means that the progress dialog\r
200 will close as for <guilabel>Auto-close if no merges, adds\r
201 or deletes</guilabel> but only for local operations like adding\r
202 files or reverting changes. For remote operations the\r
203 dialog will stay open.\r
204 </para>\r
205 <para>\r
206 <guilabel>Auto-close if no conflicts</guilabel>\r
207 relaxes the criteria further and will close the dialog\r
208 even if there were merges, adds or deletes. However,\r
209 if there were any conflicts or errors, the dialog\r
210 remains open.\r
211 </para>\r
212 <para>\r
213 <guilabel>Auto-close if no errors</guilabel>\r
214 always closes the dialog even if there were conflicts.\r
215 The only condition that keeps the dialog open is an\r
216 error condition, which occurs when Git is unable\r
217 to complete the task. For example, an update fails\r
218 because the server is inaccessible, or a commit fails\r
219 because the working tree is out-of-date.\r

227 <para>\r
228 When you revert local modifications, your changes are\r
229 discarded. TortoiseGit gives you an extra safety net by\r
230 sending the modified file to the recycle bin before\r
231 bringing back the pristine copy. If you prefer to\r
232 skip the recycle bin, uncheck this option.\r

239 <para>\r
240 The commit dialog includes a facility to parse the list\r
241 of filenames being committed. When you type the first 3\r
242 letters of an item in the list, the auto-completion\r
243 box pops up, and you can press Enter to complete the\r
244 filename. Check the box to enable this feature.\r

250 <listitem>\r
251 <para>\r
252 The auto-completion parser can be quite slow if there are a lot\r
253 of large files to check. This timeout stops the commit dialog\r
254 being held up for too long. If you are missing important\r
255 auto-completion information, you can extend the timeout.\r

263 When you type in a log message in the commit dialog, TortoiseGit\r
264 stores it for possible re-use later. By default it will keep the\r
265 last 25 log messages for each repository, but you can customize\r
266 that number here.\r
267 If you have many different repositories, you may wish to\r
268 reduce this to avoid filling your registry.\r
