+in this case, +please skip the next chapter and go on to `\titleref{ch:using}' +on page \pageref*{ch:using}. +Then, if you like what you see, come back to +read `\titleref{ch:setup}' later. + +% - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +\clearpage +\section{Why a new package?} + +The improvements to \opname\ version~2 mean that +existing repositories would not work; +so if I just dumped a new version of \opname\ +on to CTAN, anyone who updated \opname\ +would need to migrate all their active repositories +before they could resume work. + +So in order to avoid the rebukes that would follow, +I have changed the package name to \tpname, +and the inner package name from \sfit{gitsetinfo} +to \sfit{gitexinfo}. + +\opname\ is now informally deprecated, +and the first reply to any bug reports or feature requests +will be `try \tpname'. +Of course, I will support \tpname\ itself +to the best of my somewhat limited ability. + +For obvious reasons, \emph{do not try} +to use both packages in the same repository; +for a new repository, use \tpname, +and for an old one, either leave it alone with \opname, +or migrate it to \tpname. + +To the administrators of CTAN, +I'm sorry I caused you this clutter +by not getting it right the first time. + +% ----------------------------------------------------- +\chapter{Setup and tailoring} +\label{ch:setup} + +\tpname\ will be installed by your favourite package or distribution manager, +but before you can start to use it, +you need to configure each of your \git\ working copies +by setting up hooks to capture the metadata. + +If you're familiar with tweaking \git, you can probably work it out for yourself. +If not, I suggest you follow these steps: + +\begin{enumerate} + +\item First, you need a \git\ repository and working tree. +For this example, let's suppose that the root of the working tree is in +\texttt{\textasciitilde/compsci} + +\item Copy the file \texttt{post-xxx-sample.txt} as \texttt{post-checkout} +into the \git\ hooks directory in your working copy. +In our example case, you should end up with a file called +\texttt{\textasciitilde/compsci/.git/hooks/post-checkout} + +\item If you're using a unix-like system, +don't forget to make the file executable. +Just how you do this is outside the scope of this manual, +but one possible way is with commands such as this: + +\begin{verbatim} +chmod g+x post-checkout. +\end{verbatim} + +\item Test your setup with ``git checkout master'' +(or another suitable branch name). +This should generate copies of \metaname\ in the directories +you intended. + +\item Now make two more copies of this file in the same directory (\texttt{hooks}), calling them +\texttt{post-commit} and \texttt{post-merge}, and you're done. +As before, users of unix-like systems should ensure these files are marked as executable. +\end{enumerate} + +If you don't want to install \tpname\ using a package manager, +you can instead just copy the two *.sty files into your document directory. +However, it may be simpler, for more complex project trees, +to install the package as part of your \TeX\ distribution. + +% - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +\section{Migrating from version 1} + +Version~2 of \tpname\ simplifies setup and brings additional convenience. +But this comes at a cost: +existing repositories need to be upgraded to be compatible. +This decision wasn't taken lightly; I really do think the incompatible changes +will give us a much firmer base for the future. +The changes needed, which should be applied to every repository, follow. + +\bpara{Update \git\ hooks.} +Replace the hooks (\texttt{post-checkout}, \texttt{post-commit}, +and \texttt{post-merge}) with the contents of the file \texttt{post-xxx-sample.txt}. +Since \tpname\ now uses only a single \metaname\ file for the whole repository, +you do \emph{not} need to tailor these hooks to map your document folders. + +If you are fortunate enough to be using a unix-like system, +don't forget to ensure the hooks are executable. + +\bpara{Recreate the new \metaname\ file.} +After you've replaced the hooks, the simplest way is to re-check-out the current branch, +using a command such as \verb!git checkout!. + +\bpara{Delete the old \metaname\ files,} +when you're ready. + +\bpara{If you're a \sfit{memoir} user,} +and you use the \texttt{footinfo} package option, +you will need to adjust your page styles. + +From \tpname\ version~2, we no longer override the standard \sfit{memoir} +page styles. +Instead, \tpname\ provides three new page styles: +\sfit{giplain}, \sfit{giruled}, and \sfit{giheadings}, +which you should now use to provide \tpname-tailored pages. + +% - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +\section{Tailoring release tags} + +As shipped, the \git\ hook code uses a certain convention +for identifying `release' tags: +the tag must begin with a numeric digit, and contain at least one decimal +point.\footnote{I.e. full stop or period, depending on which variant of English you use.} + +Here is the line in the hook where this convention is established: + +\begin{quotation} +{\ttfamily +RELTAG=\$(git describe \textellipsis\ --match '[0-9]*.*' \textellipsis) +} +\end{quotation} + +By changing the \texttt{--match} parameter, you can decide exactly which tags +qualify as `release' tags for your needs. Thus + +\begin{quotation} +{\ttfamily +RELTAG=\$(git describe \textellipsis\ --match 'R.*' \textellipsis) +} +\end{quotation} +would allow you to find tags like `R.2.0.1' and `R.L.Stevenson', +or + +\begin{quotation} +{\ttfamily +RELTAG=\$(git describe \textellipsis\ --match '*' \textellipsis) +} +\end{quotation} +would allow you to find any tag whatsoever. + +You can change the hooks without needing to alter \tpname, +since whatever tag is found is used as-is. + +% ----------------------------------------------------- +\chapter{Using the package} +\label{ch:using} +Once you've set up your \git hooks, and done your first commit, +merge, or checkout to drive them, +you can start incorporating the metadata into your document, +by loading the \tpname\ package in the usual way:\\[0.5\baselineskip] +\texttt{\textbackslash usepackage[$<options>$]\{gitinfo2\}} + +% - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +\section{Package options} + +The following options are available: + +\subsection{General options} + +\begin{description} + +\item[grumpy] +By default, If \tpname\ can't find \metaname\ (the metadata file), +it will set all the metadata to a common value, ``(None)'', +issue a package warning, and carry on. +If the \texttt{grumpy} option is used, +this warning becomes an error, and processing stops. + +\item[\texttt{missing=\textit{text}, notags=\textit{text}, dirty=\textit{text}}] +These three options allow you to tailor the default text used by \tpname\ when +metadata is missing `(None)', +the branch head has no tags `(None)', +and the working copy has uncommitted changes `(*)'. +For example: + +\begin{quote} +{\ttfamily +[missing=Help!,notags=\{No tags?\},dirty=Yuck] +} +\end{quote} +If you have complex needs, as in the second example, +don't forget to enclose your text in \{\}s. + +\item[\texttt{maxdepth=\textit{n}}] +In order to locate \metapath\ in the repository root, +\tpname\ starts in the directory containing the master document, +and searches up the directory tree until it finds it. +This search is limited to {\ttfamily\itshape n} levels --- 4 by default. +If have to deal with documents +deeper in your repository tree, you can extend this limit with, say, +{\ttfamily maxdepth=8}. + +\end{description} +\clearpage +\subsection{Options for watermarking} + +These options allow you to place a watermark of \git\ metadata, +at the bottom of the paper, conditionally or unconditionally + +\begin{description} + +\item[mark] +This option causes \tpname\ to generate a watermark, +centred at the bottom of each sheet, +containing `useful' \git\ metadata. +The watermark is always added. + +\item[markifdraft] +This option is like {\ttfamily\bfseries mark,} +but only activates the watermark if the document is being processed +with the {\ttfamily\bfseries draft} option. + +\item[markifdirty] +This option is like {\ttfamily\bfseries mark,} +but only activates the watermark if the last commit or checkout left +uncommitted changes in the repository. + +\item[marknotags] +If \tpname\ can't find any tags in the \git\ references, +it suppresses the second line of the watermark. +If, however, you would like the second line always to appear, +add this option to the package options. + +\item[raisemark=\textit{vertical space}] +By default, \tpname\ sets the bottom line of the watermark +at 1.5 baseline +skips\footnote{\texttt{1.5\textbackslash{}baselineskip}, an admittedly arbitrary value, chosen for my Canon printer.} +above the bottom of the paper. +If you prefer something different, +you can specify it here. +For example: + +\begin{quote} +{\ttfamily +[raisemark=0.95\textbackslash{}paperheight] +} +\end{quote} + + +\item[draft] +This option \emph{should not be used;} it only exists to `capture' the +{\ttfamily\bfseries draft} option from the document class definition. + +\end{description} + +\subsection{Options for \sfit{memoir} users} + +For more about these options, +please read +%The use of these options is described in more detail in +`\titleref{sect:memuser}' +on page~\pageref*{sect:memuser}. + +\begin{description} + +\item[footinfo] +This option is no longer used, and if present is silently ignored. +For \sfit{memoir} users, \tpname\ now creates, automatically, +three new page styles. + +\item[pcount] +For \sfit{memoir} users, this option will replace the folio +in the new page styles with one of the form \textit{x/y}, +where \textit{x} is the folio and \textit{y} is the page count. + +No warning is given, and no action taken, +if this parameter is used with another document class. + +\end{description} +% - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +\clearpage +\section{The metadata} +The \git\ metadata, for the current HEAD commit, +is made available in the document +as a series of parameter-less \LaTeX commands. +Here they are: + +\begin{description} + +\item[gitReferences] + A list of any \git\ references (tags, branches) associated + with this commit. + This string is not for the faint-hearted;

If no version number is found, + empty (i.e. zero width). +\item[gitVtags] + The version number, with a leading space. If no version number is found, + empty. +\item[gitVtagn] + The version number, with a leading space. + If no version number is found, a space, + followed by the default or specified value of + the \texttt{missing} package option.\\ + Example: \textit{\gitVtagn} +\end{description} + +These versioning tags have been superseded by release tags in Version 2, +although they should continue to work as before. + +\subsection{Additional metadata (Version 2)} + +From Version 2 onwards, additional \git\ metadata is available, +in general improving or extending the facilities available in Version 1. +The Version 1 metadata is retained for backward compatibility. + +Included is a new set of \texttt{gitRel} commands, +designed to replace \texttt{gitVtag} and its cousins. +\tpname\ searches the \git\ metadata for tags +on the current \textsc{head} commit or its ancestors, +and makes the first tag found available. +It also looks for the latest such tag +whose name begins with a digit, and which contains a full stop (period), +and makes the tag, and the number of commits following it, +available as a `release number'.% +\footnote{\tpname\ doesn't check for numerics, so you can use a tag like `1.5-beta' if you wish.} +Here are the new commands in Version~2: + +\begin{description} + +\item[gitFirstTagDescribe] + The last tag reachable from the current \textsc{head}. + Please see git-describe for more information. + If the working copy is \textit{dirty} (has uncommitted changes), + the string has '-*' appended.\\ + Example: \textit{\gitFirstTagDescribe} + +\item[gitRel] + The release number, without any decorations. + If no release number is found, empty (i.e. zero width). + +\item[gitRels] + The release number, with a leading space. + If no release number is found, empty. + +\item[gitReln] + The release number, with a leading space. + If no release number is found, a space, + followed by the default or specified value of + the \texttt{missing} package option. + +\item[gitRoff] + The number of commits between the current \textsc{head} + and the tag holding the release number. + If the tag refers to the current \textsc{head}, zero. + +\item[gitTags] + A comma-separated list of tags associated with the current \textsc{head}.\\ + Example: \textit{\gitTags} + +\item[gitDescribe] + The raw output from the git-describe command for the last release tag + reachable from the current \textsc{head}, including tag name, commit offset, + short hash, and a dirty flag. + Please see git-describe for more information. + Example: \textit{\gitDescribe} + +\end{description} + +\clearpage +\subsection{Watermark tailoring commands} + +If you use the Version 2 options to place a watermark, +you can tailor the format of the watermark to suit your needs, +by redefining one or more of the following commands. + +\begin{description} + +\item[gitMark] + Contains the text of the watermark. + Output from the default definition can be seen + below the footer + at the bottom of this page. + The definition + (here split onto three lines to fit) + is: + +\begin{verbatim} +Branch: \gitBranch\,@\,\gitAbbrevHash{} / +Release:\gitReln{} (\gitAuthorDate)\\ +Head tags: \gitTags +\end{verbatim} +You can tailor this by redefining \verb!\gitMark!. +For example: + +\begin{verbatim} +\renewcommand{\gitMark}{\gitHash\hfill\gitRel} +\end{verbatim} + +\item[gitMarkFormat] + Defines typesetting parameters for the whole watermark. + The default definition is: + +\begin{verbatim} +\color{gray}\small\sffamily +\end{verbatim} +You can tailor this by redefining \verb!\gitMarkFormat!.
