| * Documentation/git-cherry-pick.txt et al.: Fix misleading -n descriptionPetr Baudis2008-07-161-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The manual page of git-cherry-pick and git-revert asserts that -n works primarily on the working tree, while in fact the primary object it operates on is the index, and the changes only "accidentally" propagate to the working tree. This e.g. leads innocent #git IRC folks to believe that you can use -n to prepare changes for git-add -i staging.

* | manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Jonathan Nieder2008-07-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages. Using doit () { perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }' } for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \ merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt do doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i" done git diff .

* | Documentation formatting and cleanupJonathan Nieder2008-07-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`. While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

* | Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Jonathan Nieder2008-07-011-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsStephan Beyer2008-06-081-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

* documentation: move git(7) to git(1)Christian Couder2008-06-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user level, it seems better to move it to man section 1. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Allow cherry-pick (and revert) to add signoff lineDan McGee2008-04-261-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | I often find myself pulling patches off of other peoples trees using cherry-pick, and following it with an immediate 'git commit --amend -s' command. Eliminate the need for a double commit by allowing signoff on a cherry-pick or revert. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* revert/cherry-pick: work on merge commits as wellJunio C Hamano2007-10-261-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Usually you cannot revert a merge because you do not know which side of the merge should be considered the mainline (iow, what change to reverse). With this patch, cherry-pick and revert learn -m (--mainline) option that lets you specify the parent number (starting from 1) of the mainline, so that you can: git revert -m 1 $merge to reverse the changes introduced by the $merge commit relative to its first parent, and: git cherry-pick -m 2 $merge to replay the changes introduced by the $merge commit relative to its second parent.

* War on whitespaceJunio C Hamano2007-06-071-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

| | | | | | | | | | The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as SHA1-expressions) is accepted almost everywhere in Git by almost every tool.

* [PATCH] Random documentation fixesJonas Fonseca2005-10-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy: - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on included files. - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional info. - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc. - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text. - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----) for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML block. - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists. - Fix linking to other GIT docs. - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

* Big tool rename.Junio C Hamano2005-09-071-0/+57
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
