* doc/rev-parse: clarify reflog vs --until for specifying revisionsJeff King2008-06-291-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | The rev-parse manpage introduces the branch@{date} syntax, and mentions the reflog specifically. However, new users may not be familiar with the distinction between the reflog and the commit date, so let's help them out with a "you may be interested in --until" pointer.

* fix git config example syntaxJoey Hess2008-06-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | git-config expects a space, not '=' between option and value. Also, quote the value since it contains globs, which some shells will not pass through unchanged, or will abort if the glob doesn't expand.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The update-hook-example used 'test -f' to check the tag present, which does not work if the checked reference is packed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The option -u stands for --update and it is a good idea to make it clear especially because this is the only mode of operation of "git add" that does something different from "adding".

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.
