doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages

2011-03-11T15:59:16+00:00

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are out of date and incomplete.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wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and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.

git-bundle.txt: Clarify rev-list-args restrictions

2010-08-23T16:05:32+00:00

Currently, one could think that 'git bundle create' groks
any 'git rev-list' expression. But in fact it requires a named reference
to be present. Try and make this clearer.

git-bundle.txt: Cleanup

2010-08-23T16:05:32+00:00

Cleanup various spellings of the same argument, as well as the code
for the tilde: Since neither '~' nor '\~' work consistently, use
'{tilde}'.

Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout

2010-01-10T12:01:28+00:00

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.

The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.

Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

Documentation: Fix a few i.e./e.g. mix-ups

2009-12-01T20:09:46+00:00

A git bundle can be transported by several means (such as e-mail), not
only by snekaernet, so use e.g. instead of i.e.

The mix-up in git-bundle.txt is obvious.

Documentation: minor grammatical fixes and rewording in git-bundle.txt

2009-03-23T03:59:20+00:00

This commit also converts all reference specifications to a monospaced font,
as the embedded ~ character used in some of the references sometimes causes
the text up to the next ~ to be displayed incorrectly as a subscript when the
HTML pages are generated. This was tested with asciidoc 8.2.5.

doc/bundle: Use the more conventional suffix '.bundle'

2009-02-09T05:42:17+00:00

Although it does not matter in general it is handled different by
"git clone", as it removes it to make the "humanish" name of the
new repository.
